editorial Welcome to this week’s editorial, For decades holiday makers have enjoyed coming to the south coast for weeks at a 8me, to fish, relax, meet up with extended family and generally indulge themselves in the paradise we call home.

Tuross Head is just one of the many holiday des8na8ons along the coast and is typical of its mix of permanent and holiday homes.

In the 1920’s developer Hector McWilliam purchased the Tuross headland from Mylo> and turned the old Tuross House into a guest house with a small general store that sold goods and fuel to campers down at Sandy Point.

Hector had recognised that, year a?er year, campers would come from far and wide to fish the Tuross lakes and to enjoy a summer by the sea. In 1924, soon a?er purchasing the Tuross headland he began his vision of “Canberra’s Best Seaside resort” Hector recognised that visitors liked to camp and provided a camp ground for them. He also recognised that some preferred lodging and established a hostel at the old Tuross House. But demand was evident that others wanted their own land where they could build a family holiday shack that was able to be provide be>er protec8on from the weather and allow for storage of holiday needs and toys. He subdivided his first sec8on in 1924 marke8ng the idea that a purchase was an investment for children that will increase greatly in value.

Over the decades more land has been subdivided up and down the coast. And year in and year out new visitors have come, fallen in love with the region and decided to buy a holiday house.

The Tuross Head story can be repeated up and down the coast. We are a holiday des8na8on and as such we have a wealth of holiday homes. How many holiday homes? It appears by the mailout sent by the Eurobodalla Mayor this week that we have 8500.

8500 families with holiday homes that they purchased, maintain and keep for the use of friends and family.

Holiday homes that are furnished to be at the ready of spontaneous visits any 8me of the year. We all know these houses. They are in our street, in our neighbourhood, and for many in our memory of how we first came to se>le in the region.

Un8l recently these house sat quietly wai8ng to be filled with summer laughter, some8mes not visited for a year. But now they are in the spotlight as the region faces a declared “Homeless Crisis”.

Before moving on the holiday houses are NOT vacant. They are not empty shells devoid of furniture ready for tenants. Most are well furnished and cared for. And all represent an asset. They are somebodies’ property to be used for whatever legal purpose they wish. And that includes ren8ng out, fully furnished, in the short term if they choose to friends, friends of friends, or via holiday rental plaEorms.

It doesn’t take long at any table discussion on homelessness to begin poin8ng the finger at the number of holiday rentals available via various online plaEorms (there are 1500 in the Eurobodalla) with claims that these are the villains.

“If all of these holiday homes were permanent rentals we wouldn’t have a problem,” says every keyboard warrior.

But that is far from the truth. We have to remember that Eurobodalla is a holiday des8na8on. We rely on that and financially hurt when visitors don’t come. Our holiday houses are mowed, painted, maintained, serviced. Their visitors inject millions every year into the community by way of the goods and services they enjoy. Holiday houses serve a purpose in providing tourism accommoda8on stock. There are not enough hotel or motel beds in the region to cover the demand.

PlaEorm rentals and holiday homes play a vital role in contribu8ng to the region’s revenue but they are now seen as “contribu8ng” to the house shortage issue.

This week Eurobodalla Council wrote to the shire’s 8,500 non-resident ratepayers, asking owners to consider puIng their holiday home into the local rental market for the next 12 to 24 months saying “We did this a er the 2019/20 bushfires and more than 80 homes were placed into the market. If people can repeat beagle weekly : Vol 265 June 24th 2022

community that generosity, it would be a significant help. If there are more proper$es available for longer term rent, people and families are less likely to become and remain homeless”.

That seems OK. And maybe there will be some who decide that they might pack up their holiday house furniture, put it in storage at their own expense for 12 to 24 months and rent out their home. It won’t be easy for them. To transi8on from a furnished holiday house to a vacant house ready for a permanent tenant requires considerable effort, addi8onal insurance costs and the costs to have the property listed and managed. The downside is that the owner loses the opportunity to use the house. On the plus side the financial reward might help in paying the ever increasing rates and the backlog of maintenance that an investment property always requires.

Of concern though is Council’s follow-up statement saying some councils around the country, like Brisbane and Byron Bay, are using the regula8ons available to them to push holiday rentals onto the rental market by reducing the days they can available for holiday stays.

The Mayor says “We appreciate investors have a right to their holiday rental income, but un8l the state and federal governments invest in social and affordable housing these are the op8ons available to councils trying to support their communi8es.

“Before considering any regulatory ac8on, however, the Council is wri8ng to the shire’s 8,500 non-resident ratepayers”.

“Before considering any regulatory ac8on?”

So what regulatory ac8on might that be?

The first idea might be to establish a register of holiday homes and apply a penalty rate to them. With changes to the rules established in November 2021 all Short Term Rental Accommoda8on (STRA) must now be registered on the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment's STRA register before they can be adver8sed or offered for short-term rental. There are fees associated with registra8on and proof is required that fire safety standards have been met.

The register, associated with an ABN for taxa8on linkage, then records bookings and complaints.

In heavily impacted areas of the state Councils have established caps that limit how many nights a property can be rented out for as a STRA. While 180 days per year has been widely adopted to provide some remedy Byron Shire is now considering 90 days in any given year. Across the border the Mayor of Brisbane is going for 60 days as a means of “encouraging” STRA owners to reconsider.

Such a reduc8on will immediately reduce the income poten8al of a property. Many of these proper8es make up the investment porEolios of self funded re8rees who chose to invest in bricks and mortar rather than shares.

Eurobodalla Council was given the op8on to enforce a 180-days-per-yer cap on non-hosted (where the host does not live on site) STRA. It decided not to.

Housing shortages in Eurobodalla extend across all markets but are par8cularly exacerbated in the low to middle income brackets and for smaller dwelling types. There is an acute need for social housing associated with high unemployment, domes8c violence and vulnerable people. In all housing sectors, supply has not been able to keep up with demand.

If one looks at AirBnB lis8ngs the proper8es and their poten8al “permanent” rental are well outside the affordability of most of our homeless.

In the Eurobodalla Council Submission to the NSW Govt Regional Housing Taskforce (26 August 2021) they advised that 42% of households in our Shire earn less than $600 per week. Eurobodalla has high unemployment (9%) and only 7.1% of the popula8on earn greater than $1,500 per week compared to 12.2% in regional NSW, making home ownership rela8vely una>ainable.

Between 2011 and 2016, the counted Aboriginal popula8on rose by 15%, while the overall popula8on of the local government area rose by 4%. Addi8onally 7.7% of the popula8on of Eurobodalla Shire need help in their day-to-day lives due to disability (compared with 6.3% for regional NSW) which is further compounded by the number of people with disability of working age (5.0% in Eurobodalla compared to 3.6% in regional NSW).

Eurobodalla Shire has a median house rental of $600 per week, a climb of 62.2% in 5 years. beagle weekly : Vol 265 June 24th 2022

Community In coming months and years it will be crucial that Council ensures that our “empty, vacant, holiday houses” or “our greedy investor short stay rentals” become the villains in the discussions around the lack of housing stock.

Eurobodalla Council has long been condemned for the bureaucracy and hurdles it has placed on investors and developers who have taken their money elsewhere.

By its own planning instruments it has placed restric8ons on rural land prohibi8ng addi8onal housing stock and has failed to constrain developers with any requirement that there be a considera8on for affordable housing be given. Even their latest sale of Dalmeny land has no such constraints meaning land will be sold at top dollar and only those able to afford to build will do so.

Like it or not holiday home owners have the legal right to enjoy their asset as much, or as li>le, as they wish.

Those who chose to rent out on the Short Term market are legally allowed to do so for as many, or as few days, as they wish and are now formalised by registra8on to ensure safety and taxa8on compliance overseen by a Code of Conduct.

Our tourism industry requires these holiday beds. Our local businesses rely on these holiday beds. Our community relies on the income that comes directly and indirectly from these holiday beds. The cleaners, the gardeners, trades and service providers, our shops, our hospitality providers.

When one reads the following alarm bells ring for the slippery slope that we might recklessly go down that needlessly kills the Golden Goose by way of knee jerk regula8ons.

“The Mayor says some councils around the country, like Brisbane and Byron Bay, are using the regula ons available to them to push holiday rentals onto the rental market by reducing the days they can available for holiday stays, but he wants the NSW Government to take the lead.

“We appreciate investors have a right to their holiday rental income, but un l the state and federal governments invest in social and affordable housing these are the op ons available to councils trying to support their communi es” In closing (by Council’s own submission) : 42% of households in our Shire earn less than $600 per week. We know that current median rent in Eurobodalla is $600 per week. The 74.3% of households in the Eurobodalla are one or two person households. Most of the housing stock is three- and four-bedroom homes (68.6%).

Maybe we need to also consider handing out penal8es to those who chose not to rent out their spare bedrooms. Or maybe, just maybe, we encourage the State and Federal governments to provide the social housing they have failed to provide for decades.

Community celebra$on to signal comple$on of Batemans Bay Bridge works A community celebra8on will be held next weekend to mark the comple8on works to replace the Batemans Bay Bridge and rejuvenate the northern and southern foreshores. Parliamentary Secretary for the South Coast Shelley Hancock said there will be plenty to see and get involved in, including a free sausage sizzle on Saturday 2 July from 10am to 2pm.

“This project was a major investment from the NSW Government into Batemans Bay, delivering infrastructure that will make a difference to the daily lives of those in the local community,” Ms Hancock said.

“We would like to thank the community for their pa8ence during the construc8on of the project and for sharing the vision of a more connected, efficient, and safer Batemans Bay. “With work almost complete, we want to invite the community to join the project team on the foreshore to celebrate.”

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said the $274 million investment has built stronger and more efficient connec8ons for the Batemans Bay community.

“This Government con8nues to invest in projects like the Batemans Bay Bridge that be>er connect regional communi8es and deliver projects that make daily life easier, securing a brighter future for NSW,” Mr Farraway said.

“Comple8on of this project has created be>er connec8ons in and around Batemans Bay for motorists, freight, river users, pedestrians and cyclists.”

A smoking ceremony will be conducted by local Aboriginal elders to honour the Walbunja people.

There will also be informa8on available on future Princes Highway work and interac8ve displays on mari8me and road safety. As well as the community celebra8on, Transport for NSW will also release two booklets 8tled Aboriginal Elders Mentoring Program, and Yangary and Bhundoo - Aboriginal places and values around Batemans Bay. The first provides first-hand experience of those who par8cipated in a mentoring program that provided local Aboriginal people with an opportunity to work as trainees on the Batemans Bay Bridge replacement project. The second booklet explores the history and connec8on of Aboriginal people to the Batemans Bay area and touches on many stories about the history and cultural values of Yangary (Batemans Bay) and Bhundoo (Clyde River). Both booklets will be available at the upcoming community celebra8on and will be available on the project webpage.

The old bridge is also set to live on as Transport for NSW proudly partnered with the Clyde River and Batemans Bay Historical Society to create an exhibi8on called Crossing the Clyde, which celebrates the journeys of the Clyde River crossings. The whole community is invited to take a trip down memory lane when it opens at the Batemans Bay Heritage Museum later this year.

Bodalla Pub highlights its history Two historical boards were erected on Bodalla Pub this week. “They’re a fabulous record of the hotel’s early days, first established as the Bodalla Arms on this site in 1877, and of the Mort family who owned the Bodalla Estate,” said Bodalla Pub co-owner Fiona McCuaig. “Local historian Laurelle Pacey has done them for us and they include original photos from the Mort family archives. “The McConkey era as hotel owners is also men8oned with reference to the well-known nude photos.”

Ms McCuaig urges everyone to drop by and read about the Pub’s and Bodalla’s history, adding that Bodalla is one of the most historic places on the south coast. Ms McCuaig and co-owner Ben Stainer plan to do more to highlight the town’s significance in coming years, such as a ‘Bodalla Boomerang’ historic walk. The boards acknowledge tradi8onal owners.

The Moruya Bypass may be many years away It’s going to be quite a while un8l we see a highway bypass in Moruya. The Moruya Business Chamber reports that was one of the main take outs from an informa8on session conducted by Transport for NSW at the last Chamber mee8ng at the Moruya Golf Club.

Chris Donnelly and Glen Smith, of Transport for NSW, also told the mee8ng about the disappoin8ng response from the local business community to the bypass survey with just 17 responses from businesses. Nine of those came from chamber members. They are now considering approaching businesses in person to make sure all views are captured.

Above: Chris Donnelly and Glen Smith from Transport for NSW discussing the Moruya bypass with chamber members at the last mee$ng at the Golf Club. Photo: Moruya Business Chamber

When asked about progress and likely construc8on 8mes they were very candid. Transport had earlier recommended the orange route to the government but were told to go back and consult further with the community – the process that is now drawing to a close. Having been burnt once, Transport public servants will not choose a preferred route again, but instead will send their report to the Transport Minister and leave the decision to the poli8cians. The state elec8on set for March next year may delay that announcement.

Then it will be a ma>er of securing the money. There was no specific men8on of the Moruya bypass in the NSW budget this week.

The NSW Government will look to the Commonwealth for the money, just like the Ulladulla bypass. Even if the decision was made soon and the money sourced it would take up to five years for the bypass to be completed. So, in reality, the Chamber says, Moruya would be probably looking at 2030 at the earliest for the bypass, and possibly longer.

Chris Donnelly and Glen Smith, of Transport for NSW said that the lack of a bypass should not impact the hospital 8meline as it is a separate project.

Waste and recycling guide on way, with a difference Eurobodalla residents can expect their annual Household Waste and Recycling Calendar in their le>erbox shortly, but the Council says this year the delivery will be different.

The handy calendar, which contains everything residents on the domes8c collec8on service need to know about managing their household waste, is now printed in Council’s popular quarterly newsle>er for residents, Living in Eurobodalla.

Once cut out of the newsle>er, the calendar is conveniently sized to s8ck on your fridge or pin-board with those allimportant collec8on days for red, yellow and green-lid bins.

Above:: Yumaro’s Jenna McAppion (back le?) and Kerry Crawford (front centre) with supported employees (clockwise) Terry, Brendan, Stephen and Jasmine preparing Council’s newlook Living in Eurobodalla newsle>er for distribu8on to residents next week. Don’t miss the Household Waste and Recycling Calendar inside.

The newsle>er feature also has annual kerbside hard waste collec8on dates, and an A-to-Z list of waste types and how to manage them, including which items are accepted free at Council’s waste facili8es.

Answers to frequently asked ques8ons about waste and recycling plus a list of six common recycling mistakes round out the double-page feature.

Delivery starts Monday 27 June to all households in the shire. Australia Post will look a?er deliveries as usual, but behind the scenes there’s been a local shi?.

Supported employees from Yumaro have organised the mailing, rather than a mailhouse in Melbourne. The job requires bundling and coun8ng the newsle>ers according to Australia Post specifica8ons, and Yumaro’s Jenna McAppion says her team has enjoyed the work.

“We’re really pleased to be working with the Council and playing a part in distribu8ng the newsle>er to residents,” she said. “The team at Moruya Post Office have been great to work with as well, really helpful.”

The new-look newsle>er is now eight pages, up from four, and con8nues to be printed in the shire, only now on 100 per cent recycled Australian-made paper.

The household waste and recycling calendar can also be downloaded from Council’s website, where 8ps on avoiding single-use items, reducing general waste, and managing food waste can also be found.

Visit www.esc.nsw.gov.au/waste Residents can also contact Council’s waste team on 4474 1024 for assistance with waste and recycling.

Concerns for Gynaecological Oncology Services Access The Shadow Minister Health, Ryan Park MP and Dr Michael Holland MP, Member For Bega have advised that they are concerned that women of southern New South Wales may be adversely affected by poten8ally compromised gynaecological cancer care in the ACT. Specialist gynaecological cancer services have been provided to the ACT for over 20 years by the Royal Hospital for Women/Prince of Wales Hospital.This included fortnightly clinics and weekly opera8ng lists.

It provided mul8disciplinary care in coordina8on with local medical and radia8on oncology services. It enabled local treatment for women in the ACT as well as surrounding regions of New South Wales.

The current visi8ng gynaecological oncologist is due to re8re at the end of this year, leaving a poten8al deficit in women’s cancer care in the ACT. This will impact the care of women in the neighbouring New South Wales electorates of Bega, Monaro, Goulburn, Wagga, Cootamundra and Albury.

In a media release issued this week the local Member and Shadow Minister say “We call on the ACT Minister for Health to develop a succession plan with appointment of a resident gynaecological oncology specialist in the ACT. “We call on the NSW Minister for Health to work with the ACT Ministry for Health to establish a support network of visi8ng gynaecological cancer specialists to maintain a func8onal women’s cancer care service in the ACT. Dr Michael Holland and Mr Ryan Park will con8nue in their advocacy, seeking to garner the support of their New South Wales Parliamentary colleagues to ensure this service.

Local Road Safety Educa$on Program receives Na$onal Recogni$on.

Since 2017 (including covid lockdowns), 28 people have been killed in the Eurobodalla on our roads and hundreds now have to live with severe or moderate injuries.

Road trauma is definitely a local community challenge as two thirds of these people are from the Eurobodalla.

Since 2008, Rotary in Batemans Bay, Moruya and Narooma have been addressing the impacts of road trauma by educa8ng our teenagers to be be>er drivers and passengers. Nearly 3000 Year 11 students from every high school in the Eurobodalla Shire have now a>ended the RYDA driver awareness course run by Rotary.

Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips with Rotarian and RYDA Organiser, Neil Simpson, Dealer/Principal of Batemans Bay Toyota Jade Cowan and John Ellio>, Na8onal Program Manager for Road Safety Educa8on Ltd at the presenta8on at the Rotary Club of Batemans Bay on Thursday night.

This week the Eurobodalla RYDA course received na8onal recogni8on by receiving the 2022 Toyota Community Award in recogni8on of an outstanding commitment to youth road safety educa8on.

‘The excellence in road safety educa8on awards are part of Na8onal Road Safety Week each year’ said Jade Cowan, Dealer/Principal of Batemans Bay Toyota.

‘They recognise people and organisa8ons who passionately provide Road Safety Educa8on’s flagship Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) program for High School students across Australia’.

More than 610 000 students across Australia have par8cipated in RYDA in the 21 years since the program started in 2001. In accep8ng the award, Neil Simpson, RYDA organiser and member of Rotary Batemans Bay said ‘It is very pleasing that Eurobodalla RYDA has been selected for the community award as we are a small group of local volunteers who each year willingly give our 8me and exper8se to deliver RYDA to our local school students’.

‘This Na8onal award is fiIng recogni8on of the dozens of Rotarians and community volunteers who help with RYDA every year. This includes local bus companies, the Moruya Jockey Club, driving schools, NSW Police, Eurobodalla Shire Council and the three Rotary clubs’ he said.

RYDA is an award winning, evidence based, interac8ve program wri>en and resourced for Australian students by Road Safety Educa8on Ltd (www.rse.org.au).

‘Parents of students who a>end Batemans Bay High School, St Peters Anglican College, Carroll College, Moruya High School and Narooma High School should ensure their Year 11 student a>ends RYDA when it is held in April each year’ said Mr Simpson.

Batemans Bay Toyota will financially support RYDA for the next five years ensuring its longevity in the Eurobodalla.

Reading Gadfly 237 By Robert Macklin.

In our Tuross bolt hole we have a magic mirror.

I guess many readers have one, that special looking glass where the light is perfectly positioned so your reflection is far more flattering than in any other. Hypnotic isn’t it. Ours is in ‘my’ bathroom - the old original one with the shower and the washing machine. But when I glanced at it last night after showering, the bloke in the reflection had his face lathered in shave cream!

I was hurrying to watch 7.30 and here I was lathering for a shave, just as I had that morning and every other of my adult life. A ‘senior’s moment’, you say? Oh, if only…. The truth is, it’s been happening for all the years I’ve been writing those twenty-nine books (so far). It’s an occupational disease.

It comes on gradually. For the first 20,000 words you’re happily raising a literary trot until you’re cantering down a well-defined track. You have friends over for lunch, catch a play at the Rep…but then, without willing it, you fall into a routine.

It’s fairly sloppy to begin. After a boiled egg and the ABC news feed, the mornings are for writing. Around midday there’s a stroll and in summer maybe a swim. Afternoons are editing time, maybe organizing research for the next day’s writing, but then a break to watch that last Quarter again when your team beat Collingwood. Feeling pretty good, you tell the Beloved you’ll make dinner, and afterwards you negotiate over her Antiques Roadshow or an SBS World Movie, or maybe both. After all, working and sleeping hours are really yours to decide; it’s one of the rare benefits of the game.

But then the book starts to take control. You rise earlier; shower, shave; and breakfast is now toast and coffee – and you start timing your preparation. You begin writing at 8.30 exactly with the ideas that arrived when you woke. The fingers are flying over the keys and at 11 sharp, it’s tools down – exercise time – so off on the walk up a certain hill.

A break for lunch but at 1.30 precisely you’re back at the computer and after a quick edit you’re plunging into the story as your hero grapples with his next mighty challenge till you hear, ‘Your turn tonight, dear!’ (Oh no.)

You invent a wise old saw: ‘A meal should take no longer to prepare than to eat’ and for the next twenty minutes you’re juggling frypan, microwave and stove-top in a blur of flying limbs.

Then comes the evening viewing, but your mind now has a mind of its own and it’s back with your hero struggling through the jungles of head-hunter infested Dutch New Guinea in 1943 until bed and a harmless Melatonin to ‘ravel up that sleave of care’. Briefly…

By now it’s 80,000 words and you’re at full gallop. Beloved’s lady friends tiptoe past the writing room and share their mutual hilarity three closed doors away. The days lose their identity, their passing goes unnoticed, sleeping becomes an optional extra, the routine is rigid as ironbark…until one day you look up at the magic mirror to a clown face covered in shaving lather.

‘Damn it,’ you say, ‘This is crazy. I’ll walk away. I’ll be real person again.’ But then, as the lather disappears behind the blade, that handsome devil whispers, ‘Wait. Writing is not what you do, it’s what you are.’

‘Nonsense,’ you cry. ‘There’s too many books in the world already.’

‘Maybe so…but isn’t yours just the best work you’ve ever done.’

‘Well…’

‘You need a little break. Um, I know…Why not just write about it…just a sip, a little Gadfly perhaps?’ robert@robertmacklin.com beagle weekly : Vol 265 June 24th 2022

Reading—A beer with Baz The chill on the headland ignored Bazza’s a>empts at 8ghtening his collar and he cradled the warmth of his coffee in the predawn blackness.

He distracted the cold by repea8ng key lines he could remember from Paul Simon’s song Sounds of Silence………It lulled his solitude.

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again A wry smile accompanied the memory of Sounds of Silence being appreciated at full blast in his youth.

Bazza had decided to brave the predawn for the winter sols8ce, by himself, on the south coast headland.

Welcoming the winter sols8ce was a ritual Bazza had fallen into as a young man. Back then, it was all about defea8ng winter and hastening the onset of summer. In his youth, summer was worshipped, and to be extended, at every possible opportunity. He was carefree, and in many 8mes stupid. The ul8mate surrender of day to night was resented but ironically celebrated at its peak by whatever ritual or celebra8on was in vogue. A nude swim in Tasmania one year or an all night party in Bondi another. Always friends, lots of friends. A need to be surrounded by people.

He sipped his coffee; it’s warmth reassuring.

In the intervening decades such frivolity was abandoned in the pursuit of the busyness of life. Always busy…… very, very busy. The longest night rejoiced only for a longer sleep. Summer, autumn, winter and spring became cards in the rapid-fire game of winning in life and had gobbled up the years. A blur of busyness and a shredding of friendships.

He rotated his cup for the remaining warmth.

Bazza squinted across the ocean at that proverbial darkness before dawn. The sea and sky merged in an inky caliginosity and an archipelago of black clouds duped his eyes. He measured his loneliness and fallibility against a vast ocean, with its rhythmic heartbeat of gently crashing waves. The loneliness he detested as a young man was now somewhat soothing.

The coffee cup was cold and he shi?ed feet and thoughts.

He strained his eyes into the inky blackness and slightly shook at the thought he was the furthest he could be from the sun, an umbilical cord stretched to the maximum.

He contemplated frailty and vulnerability within this sound of silence and this deepest darkness. He thought of the community behind him and the communi8es beyond. How presumptuous to think all our human going ons could be played out…. under the belief the magnanimous sun would always rise.

Deceased leaves to mourn her sad loss an aged widow whom Mr. and Mrs. Frank Luck have kindly taken into their own home to care for.

To augment the funds of the A. & P. Society a euchre party and dance was held in the Amusu Theatre on Tuesday evening. The tournament, conducted by Messrs. C. de Saxe and J.

Dave Thomas’s and Jay Breust’s State Champion of Club Champions trophy with Sonia Frey’s District’s Minor Singles trophy, ready to be displayed in the new Club Malua Vice President Kim Giannasca congratulated Sonia Frey on her recent District Minor Singles Champion of Club Champions victory, and welcomed Dianne, who was visi8ng from Albury Bowling Club. Kim also welcomed back our “Happy Camper”, Lisa Grice who has just returned in one piece from her first big caravanning trip with husband, Bill Grice.

Dave Thomas, Bowls organiser, announced that the Winter Carnival would be live-streamed, and in the future Men’s and Women’s Pennants and Club Championship finals would also be live-streamed. Dave introduced Bailey Me8, assistant Bowls Coordinator from Cabrama>a, who would be helping to run the week’s Winter Carnival. Bailey is part is part of the current State Junior Pairs and Fours Championship winners. Perhaps he will give us some 8ps to improve our game!

It was a chilly morning for the five rinks of Bowler’s, but all managed to complete most of their games before the rain came down on Tuesday. Winners by drawn card for the Women’s Social bowls were Janet McKay, Jeane>e Roberts and Margaret Bridges with a score of 19 to 13 against Robyn Butcher, Helen Rees and Kim Giannasca. Runners up were Sue Palmer, June Williams and Jenny Blyth. Other winning teams were Judy Armstrong, Gayl Vidgen and Sue Morgan; Gloria Harper, Fran Lucas and Allison Innes: and Joan Rimmer, Sonia Frey and Lisa Grice. Money Club winners were Sue Palmer and Allison Innes. Rink four was drawn for a chance at the $2324 but unfortunately missed out by one.

When the jackpot reaches $2500 it will be drawn un8l won, but will be broken up to give more chances to take home some money.

Saturday’s Draw Pairs to celebrate Dave Thomas’s and Jay Breust’s State Champion of Club Champions Pairs victory was won by Sonia Frey and Doug Ebsworth with three wins plus 45, second were Graham Dade and Grahame Reid, 3 wins plus 29, and third place went to Peter Guthrie and Lou Butcher, 3 wins plus 27. The “Unfortunates” prize which covered their entry fee was “won” Kim Giannasca and Alex Scoranno. Dave Thomas and Jay Breust presented their winner’s trophy to Peter Hutchison, Men’s President and Kim Giannasca, Women’s Vice President for Club Malua to display in the new club, which is nearly ready to open its doors. It might be hard to wipe the smile off President Hutches’ face and to prise the trophy out of his hands. Dave and Jay filled the last free spot on the trophy and they join some very notable bowlers over the years.

The 41st Malua Bay Winter Carnival commenced on Wednesday with Three Bowl Mixed Pairs. There are Bowlers from 16 clubs entered into this compe88on. Winners were Graham Reed and Karen James (from Queanbeyan RSL and Tomakin Clubs) with an overall score of 96, second were John Muldrew and Pat Weekes( from Club Malua)on 85, and Ken and Sue Reedy(from Crookwell) on 82.

Your Tackle World Moruya Fishing Report Moruya River.

Now that the winter sols8ce has passed us, the days will slowly start to get longer and in turn warmer.

This will take a bit of 8me though. So, for the 8me being, we will have to make the most of what’s available.

Luckily the fishing in the river has been really good to date, with Tailor, Flathead, Bream and Trevally all being taken again this week. The en8re system is fishing really well. Look to the deeper holes for the best chance of success. So? plas8cs , metal blades and good old baits have all been taking fish. The lower sec8ons of the river will have slightly warmer waters, where the ocean influence is greater, while the upper reaches will be cooler where the 8dal reach isn’t as high.

Tuross River.

Will li>le to no rain to speak of, the en8re Tuross system is in really good condi8on, with fish being taken throughout the whole system this week. Tailor, Flathead, Bream and even the odd salmon have been found throughout the system. All manor of presenta8ons are working at the moment, from plas8cs to baits, fish are being taken on whatever you choose to throw.

The deeper holes will be holding be>er fish as the temps drop, so look for these for the best chance at success.

Rock and Beach.

Salmon and Tailor have dominated the captures this week, with Moruya breakwall firing on the salmon. The Tailor have been most ac8ve during the low light periods of dawn and dusk. So if a feed of Tailor interests you, try hiIng the local beaches, headlands or the breakwall first thing in the morning or last thing in the arvo.

There are s8ll some bream and the odd whi8ng holding in close, with some sizeable Trevally reported from the local headlands! The drummer will also start to become more prevalent from the stones as the water temps drop. With minimal swells forecast this weekend and li>le winds, a session from the stones could well be on the cards.

Offshore.

Snapper and flathead con8nue to be a staple for those venturing out. The forecast for the weekend looks to be favouring an offshore trip for crews this weekend. As per normal, check the forecast for yourselves, and if crossing Moruya bar, stop and watch first!

With our 18th Birthday sale rapidly approaching, we will be running store wide savings of nearly everything in store. We have also put together a really nice collec8on of prizes from our suppliers. We are combing all of these together into 1 big prize that will be available for everyone to have a chance of winning. For every $50 spent in store on July 9th you will receive a 8cket that will you put you into the draw for the major prize. There will also be minor prize bags available from several of our major suppliers.

We are looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday the 9th of July to help us celebrate our 18th birthday!!

Stay safe everyone and remember, “everyday’s a good day for fishing…”

real estate South Coast Property Specialists (Carlene Franzen) Tips #1102:

Annual Land Tax - A (Small) Toe in the Water Last week we reported that Premier Dominic Perrottet has planned to overhaul stamp duty on property purchases calling it “the worst tax that any government can have”. We also noted that he didn’t think they could proceed without financial assistance from the Federal Government due to the huge impact on annual revenues. So far, the Federal government has not been forthcoming to support this initiative.

Part of the issue with Stamp Duty, as it relates to government revenue, is that it fluctuates so much on an annual basis and is therefore difficult to plan for. For example, in 2021 the NSW government received $9.6 billion from stamp duty which was approximately 25% of the total tax revenue and the highest level of stamp duty ever recorded for a single year. In comparison, in 2020 the revenue from stamp duty was 28% less than the 2021 windfall.

As many you would have seen, the NSW government released its new budget on Tuesday and has broached the subject of stamp duty reform with what we would call “putting a (small) toe in the water”. The new initiative will start on the 16th January 2023 and is only available for first home buyers who will have the option to choose between an upfront payment (stamp duty) or a smaller annual property tax if they are purchasing a property up to the value of $1.5m. However, first home buyers in NSW are already eligible to apply for a full stamp duty exemption for properties up to $650,000 or a concession on property between $650,000 - $800,000 so as you can see the new initiative is quite narrow in its focus. The government believes it could be taken up by roughly 55,000 people per year. Also, the budget has only allocated $728.6m over the next four years to account for the expected shortfall in revenue.

The budget did provide further details of how the annual land tax will work. Owners will be charged $400 plus 0.3% of the land value of the property. It is important to note the 0.3% relates to the land value and not the purchase/sale price of the property.

If nothing else, it will be an interes8ng period to see how many people choose to opt in to such a system which importantly locks that property into the annual land tax system in perpetuity. Longer term, it will also be interes8ng to see the reac8on by future purchasers, both posi8ve and nega8ve, once these proper8es start circula8ng in the market.
