Sport and Fishing ………. 31 to Editorial …………………..2, What’s On …………….... 16 to 20 FIND ALL YOUR DAILY NEWS @ www.beagleweekly.com.au

A massive thank you to everyone who a ended our 18th Birthday celebra ons last Saturday, it was a great day, and it was really good to see the turn out. A big thank you to Kimmi and Grace from 2EC for your help on the day. A big thank you to all of our suppliers that donated goods towards the major prize and give away bags, without your support we wouldn’t have been able to offer what we did. I would also like to welcome Russell to the Tackle World Moruya team as our newest member. He will mainly be in store during the weekends and as a gap filler when needed. On to the fishing report. Moruya River. There have been good numbers of both Salmon and Trevally down around Preddy’s wharf this last week s ll, the numbers of tailor in the river have dropped as they have moved onto the beaches for the most part. The flathead and bream have both gone a li le quiet as the water temps con nue to drop. They can s ll be found, but you will need to slow down your retrieval rates and reduce your presenta on sizes. Metal blades and 2.5” sized so plas cs fished slowly close to the bo om will do the trick. In front of the hospital, there are a few nice deep holes, that have good structure in them. These offer great hiding holes and cover for fish holding deep. A dri ed bait of mullet fillet worked through this zone can bring a cold fish undone. Tuross River. As the water temps con nue to drop, the water becomes crystal clear, this is becoming more prevalent in Tuross over the last few weeks. These condi ons do make for great sigh ng opportuni es, but also work against the angler. If you can see the fish, the fish can see you!! Long light leaders are required to get the bite this me of year, but have the fish at a dis nct advantage when a bigger model takes your presenta on. The deeper holes that have a bit more colour to them, provide be er coverage for hiding fish this me of year. Work your baits or lures slowly towards the bo om for best chance of ge ng ght lipped fish to bite. Rock and Beach. The Salmon seem to be everywhere at the moment, with fish from 1.5kg all the way to 4kg being taken. The Moruya breakwall has been a popular spot, with plenty of big salmon being taken. The local ledges have been producing a few nice drummer also this week, with the northern ledges above Batemans bay star ng to show signs of both mulloway and the odd snapper. Offshore. Good numbers of Snapper con nue to make their way over the sides of most boats heading out for a spot of bo om bashing. Start looking in as li le as 10-15m of water before working out to 30-40m. There has been a few mumbling of tuna out wide for those setup to chase them. We s ll have a few post birthday sales running, most notably 30% off all Shimano luggage, 40% of Fritchy tools and a rack of rods with 50% off marked RRP!! Stay safe everyone and remember, “every days a good day for fishing…” Team Tackle World Moruya.

South Coast Property Specialists (Carlene Franzen) Tips #1105: Housing Crisis - A Fundamental Flaw?

A week ago, the Editor of The Beagle published an excellent indepth article titled “The Housing Crisis What Next”, though you had to click on the link in the main body of The Beagle to read the full details.

For those that missed that you can read the article here: https:// www.beagleweekly.com.au/post/the-housing-crisis-what-next

In the article, the editor highlights many key issues in the housing crisis and refers to a letter that has come out of the Mayor’s office to home owners who are not resident in the Eurobodalla enquiring as to whether they would consider renting their property out to assist in alleviating the crisis.

An owner, who is known to this office, has received such a letter and believes that while on the surface it appears to be a good idea, there is a fundamental flaw to the concept which is outside the scope of Council to resolve. The letter asks non-resident owners to make their property available for 12-24 months, but what happens at that point?

This owner has actioned this concern by writing to their local state government member (the member for Bega Dr Michael Holland MP) seeking clarification of how much public housing may be available in 12-24 months so that owners are not placed in the incredibly awkward, and possibly invidious, position of evicting the tenants at the end of the period. If insufficient public housing is available, the tenants could well be back out on the streets or camp grounds. I’m sure this would a horrific outcome for both parties. So, what is the status of our local public housing plans? In correspondence from Dr Holland’s office, it is noted that he has been advocating strongly for new social and affordable housing but to date he is not aware of any new social housing currently being constructed in the Bega Electorate and he will be submitting a question on notice on this matter in the coming weeks.

If this is indeed the case, and taking into account the long delays in approvals and then building/ construction due to trade shortages, this could be a real issue and one that does need close consideration and maybe a different approach. Various governments have come up with creative solutions for short term accommodation such as a fleet of mobile homes/caravans and initiatives to encourage rental accommodation via granny flats that we have commented on in previous “Tips”. This really is a housing crisis that needs all levels of government to come together (QUICKLY) to implement short, medium and long term solu ons that offer certainty and safety to all people in the community.
