Gold Coast–Tweed Heads local news morning update for January 30, 2026.

It is a major development in a long-running legal saga involving the corporate watchdog.

On a brighter note, we turn our eyes to the screen industry. With the AACTA Awards coming up next week, we discuss the nominations and the vibe among Aussie filmmakers. As a major hub for film production, the Gold Coast always has a stake in how our local stories are told.
