www.lismore.nsw.gov.au
win an ipaD mini for CHriStmaS! Several months ago we gave away an iPad Mini on Facebook to celebrate our first birthday on social media. Then we thought, “Hang on a minute! What about people who read Local Matters!?” So, as a special Christmas thank you to all who read and/or have given us feedback about Local Matters, we are giving you the chance to win an iPad Mini. We will print the winner’s name in our edition published on 10 December, in plenty of time for the iPad Mini to go under the tree for yourself or a loved one. We’d like you to tell us in 25 words or less what you do or don’t like about Local Matters. It will be a random draw that’s not based on your answer, so please, be honest! Local Matters was launched almost 12 months ago and we want to know how you feel about it as a tool to communicate Council news. Please fill out the coupon or email council@lismore.nsw.gov.au with the subject line ‘Local Matters competition’. You can drop the coupon off at the Council Chambers, Lismore City Library or the Nimbin Visitor Information Centre.
Entries close 30 November. Best of luck everyone!

proteCting DogS anD koalaS iS gooD for everyone Many people in our area are both dog lovers and koala lovers, but unfortunately the two don’t mix. Dog attacks are a major cause of injury and death for koalas and as responsible dog owners, there are things we can all do to protect koalas. Koalas often climb over fences and travel through suburban backyards to reach food trees, so even if you have no trees, it’s important to make your yard safe for our native friends. When a koala is bitten by a dog it often causes a slow and painful death, and the incident can be physically and emotionally distressing for dog owners and even the dog itself. To keep our beloved pets and our koalas healthy and happy, try the following:
•
• • • •
Keep your dog in at night. Your dog, no matter how gentle, may feel threatened by a koala and naturally attack. Dogs enjoy the routine of being put to bed and it keeps koalas safe at night. If you live on a property, keep your dog in at night or in a secure area under the house. Alternatively, build a run for your dog with a roof and waist-high tin walls to ensure koalas can’t get in and dogs can’t get out. Drive carefully and watch out for koalas crossing the road, especially at night. If you find an injured or sick koala, phone the Friends of the Koala 24-hour Rescue Hotline immediately on 6622 1233. Koalas have very thin skin, so even if your dog has mouthed or pawed a koala, it’s important they receive veterinary treatment immediately. If possible, contain the koala in a large box or other container until help arrives, but speak to Friends of the Koala wildlife carers first about how to keep it – and you – safe.
Lismore City Council has recently produced new envelopes with a koala safety message to encourage all residents to help protect koalas. We are lucky to have one of the largest urban koala populations in NSW but they are constantly under threat from loss of habitat, disease, dog attacks and road accidents. We can all do our bit to keep these precious animals safe. Look out for the new envelopes from mid-December.
SuStainable Small HouSe DeSignS online The Sustainable House Day Expo in September was a resounding success, with thousands of people filling the Bangalow A&I Hall to see entries in the Sustainable Small House Design Competition and learn more about sustainable living and building.
The competition entries were full of ingenious ideas to make small and sustainable dwellings that are comfortable and functional for people to live in. From an underground small house to a dwelling made from individual ‘pods’, the entries covered the unusual, the innovative and the super practical, which you could build in a large backyard in Lismore. One of the common themes throughout the designs was easy access to a garden so people could grow their own food. For those who missed the day, we now have some of the entries on our website at www.lismore.nsw.gov.au.
CounCil nameS new exeCutive DireCtor Lismore City Council has announced former Richmond Valley Council executive Gary Murphy as the new Executive Director Infrastructure Services.
Council’s General Manger Gary Murphy said despite the confusion of having two executives with the same name, Lismore City Council had chosen the best person for the job from a field of 30 candidates. The new Gary Murphy was previously the Executive Manager Infrastructure and Environment at Richmond Valley Council and was with Richmond Valley for 11 years. Mr Murphy grew up in Tumut and trained at the University of Technology in Sydney, entering local government while completing his degree, where his first job was building the North Wagga levee. His role at Lismore City Council will be to manage all infrastructure works as well as commercial operations such as our quarries. Mr Murphy, 48, is president and driver at Ballina Jet Boat Surf Rescue, is married to wife Jane and has three teenage children. He will take up the position at Lismore City Council in mid-December.

new lanDfill Cell unDer ConStruCtion Work on a new, $2 million landfill cell has begun at the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre.
The state-of-the-art landfill cell will be built by contractors Smith Plant and feature a new leachate collection system and three layers of lining under the waste (natural clay, imported clay and a plastic liner). The old landfill cell, which has six months capacity remaining, will be capped next year using a phytocap system, which essentially means capping with diverse native vegetation rather than clay and gravel. This will create more koala habitat and link to the 1.3 hectare phytocap site planted last year, which was the first licensed phytocapping site in NSW. Council has operated landfill at our Wyrallah Road site since the 1970s, but the process has come a long way since then. Instead of just digging great big holes in the ground, we now build landfill with a complex lining to keep leachate out of the groundwater. Instead, we collect the leachate and treat it on site, and then treat it further through the East Lismore Sewage Treatment Plant next door. Meanwhile, the phytocapping of old landfill creates native forests rather than dry, unvegetated areas that have little use. Native animals, which are constantly under threat from habitat loss and other factors, are populating the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre more and more. With the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens on site and lots of surrounding bushland, the area is now home to many koalas and other native species. The new landfill cell will give Council capacity for the next 10 years based on the current amount of waste going to landfill. Construction should be complete within three months.
Community reCyCling Centre upgraDeD The Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre now features an upgraded Community Recycling Centre, which provides a user-friendly way for people to dispose of problem waste.
This is part of a larger upgrade to the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre, made possible with an $88,400 grant from the EPA’s Waste Less Recycle More program, which utilises funds acquired through the NSW waste levy. As part of the upgrade, Council has reconfiguring the facility, installed new walls and incorporated new signage, making it easier to dispose of unwanted goods and problem waste. Through this facility, you can drop of the following items free of charge (in household quantities).

your Cover The latest cover is Works Depot Technical Officer Carolyn Moynihan, 50, who was diagnosed with breast cancer and has undergone a bilateral mastectomy. We are happy to report she is on the road to recovery. In honour of Carolyn’s courage, her workmates joined the Real Men Wear Pink campaign, and 150 outdoor staff donned pink work-shirts last Thursday to raise awareness. The day raised $1600 for the Breast Cancer Foundation and Carolyn was deeply moved. The brainchild of the event, Rod Thistleton, said the staff were inspired by her courage. “We’re very visible out there in the field and we’re proud to be supporting the cause,” Rod said. “We are all in awe of how strong and positive Carolyn has been. We all have the greatest respect for her. “We wanted to show solidarity with all women affected by breast cancer.”
