Allice Gable of The Entrance arrived at Gosford station just after 9am on Wednesday, December 7, with friends Judy Roffey of Terrigal and Fiona Atkinson of Kincumber.

With the train set to depart at 9.30, the ladies were looking to arrive at Moree mid-afternoon for a pleasant three-day break.

Instead, they finally arrived at 10.45pm, exhausted and $600 poorer.

“We were left waiting at Gosford for several hours, along with dozens of others, and were told the train had broken down and was waiting on parts but another would soon be sent,” Gable said.

“But when we arrived at Broadmeadow at around 2pm there were no buses.

“Instead, we were all left waiting on Broadmeadow station with nothing to eat or drink and only a couple of bench seats available for what was now close to 100 people.”

Gable and her friends, all of whom are aged over 70, were eventually offered a seat but the news finally came that a bus would be sent from Sydney and would not arrive until around 6pm.

“The situation was shocking,” Gable said.

“There was one train guard at the station and even he didn’t seem to know what was happening.

“We had accommodation pre-

booked and none of us is young.

“We were very concerned at the thought of arriving at Moree late at night and wondered how all these people were going to fit on the one bus which had been promised.”

The friends finally decided to take a cab into town and hire a car to make the rest of the journey.

“The car cost us $600 to hire and after six hours of driving we finally arrived at Moree,” Gable said.

“But we were all so upset.

“Why could a train or bus not be sent from Newcastle to complete the journey?

“Why couldn’t some seating have been organised, especially for elderly travellers?

“We are still traumatised that the railways could not send buses to take us (the rest of the way) or at least give us the option of going home at the first hickup at Gosford station.

“There were no apologies or follow-up – it was the worst service ever.”

Gable said at the very least the women should be compensated for the $600 they were forced to spend on care hire.

Tony is National Volunteer Week Central Coast winner

Tony Ward is the National Volunteer Week Central Coast winner

Volunteering Central Coast (VCC) held a celebration at Norah Head Lighthouse Reserve last week to celebrate International Volunteer Day (IVD) on December 5 and recognise this year’s National Volunteer Week Central Coast winner, Tony Ward.

He commenced volunteering at Wayside Chapel in the 1980s and was also President of his local primary school P&C committee where he organised logistics for environmental workshops for many years.

Ward had a stroke on Australia Day 2016, losing his speech and his ability to read and write.

Despite this he volunteered at the Norah Head Lighthouse

Reserve as soon as he was fit enough to walk.

He lives at Toukley and walks 3km to the Lighthouse Reserve every Tuesday and Friday to volunteer.

He also gives time to the Norah Head Coast Care Volunteers weeding and replanting native plants on Bush Street Reserve, the Norah Head Cemetery and the Jenny Dixon Beach Reserve.

Volunteering Central Coast also commemorated its35th year of service supporting volunteering on the Central Coast.

It was established in 1986, with the receipt of Federal funding awarded by then Federal Member for Robertson Barry Cohen.

Participants celebrated Volunteering Central Coast’s 35 years

VCC’s first Chairperson was Penny Sharpe, who remained involved with VCC for many years.

The service has broadened to include several different volunteer-led services such as Experienced Hands and Time Banking and has continued to provide the Community Visitors’ Scheme since its inception 30 years ago.

VCC continues to support volunteers and volunteerinvolving organisations to celebrate their efforts, to share their values, and to promote their work among our communities.

The small charitable organisation and has consistently risen to the challenge of government funding priorities and

ideologies, keeping the value that volunteers bring to our lives at the centre of Volunteering Central Coast’s activities.

The volunteer referral service for individuals and local notfor-profit organisations is now established as a social enterprise,vccc in response to all levels of government redirecting funding programs that previously supported thise activity.

Volunteering is at the centre of Australia’s national identity, with 5.8 million Australians – or 31 per cent of the population – engaging in formal volunteering in recent years.

On the Central Coast 46,000 people formally volunteer (designated roles that are formally recruited to) locally

every year.

Many more people are helping out their local communities on an informal or spontaneous basis, lending a hand at school fetes, the sausage sizzle at the local community sports club or helping out a neighbour by mowing their lawn or giving them a lift to the shops Volunteering Central Coast often supports people to find volunteering roles that are able to meet their Centrelink mutual obligations through formal volunteering.

“I love being able to introduce the benefits of volunteering to people who may have never considered volunteering before,” VCC CEO Fiona Morrison said.

“A lot of people have

volunteered without considering it formal volunteering; it’s just a part of being helpful in their local neighbourhood and they have so many skills and experience to bring to the workplace.”

Staff at VCC are always looking for new and different ways for people to volunteer to respond to the needs of community organisations looking for volunteers and for the general public wanting to volunteer.

You can volunteer for as little as 10 minutes a day or many hours a week, for one organisation or several – it’s up to you, and VCC can help you to find the right role for you.

Vespas descend on Patonga It was an unusual sight when 20 Vespas turned up at Patonga recently.

The members of the Vespa Club Leichhardt (VCL) made the trek for their end of year Christmas lunch.

Vespistis of all ages and backgrounds made their way from Sydney to enjoy lunch at the Patonga Boat House as part of their annual Christmas ride.

The group then rode around the area exploring the many beautiful sites Patonga and its surroundings have to offer.

A spokesperson said the Central Coast is a popular spot with club members, whose previous regular rides have included Jerrys at Kulnura, Terrigal Beach, Road Warriors Café and Yarramalong Café.

The club welcomes all Vespa

owners looking for a social outlet with other like-minded Vespa owners.

Members meet regularly for rides, coffee catch ups and social events.

To find out more about VCL look it up on their socials or visit the website www.vcl.net.au.

Call for moratorium on land clearing and logging An alliance of environment organisations is calling for a moratorium on land clearing across 810,000ha between Barrington Tops and the Hawkesbury River and urgent conservation in the region to prevent regional flora and fauna extinctions.

The coastal region connects two World Heritage Area and spans almost 11,300sq km including local government areas (LGA) of Central Coast, Lake Macquarie, Cessnock, Newcastle, Maitland, Port Stephens, Dungog, and the former Great Lakes Council area of Mid-Coast LGA. The Barrington to Hawkesbury Climate Corridors Alliance – Community Environment Network, EcoNetwork Port Stephens, Hunter Bird Observers Club, Hunter Community Environment Centre and National Parks Association NSW Hunter branch – says the natural environment of the area is under intense pressure from agriculture, forestry, and urban development.

The Alliance has released a

Land clearing in State Forests

bold new conservation and climate adaptation plan based on habitat suitability, and NSW Government climate corridor mapping, to identify a network of wildlife corridors essential for the survival of threatened species in the face of climate change.

Author of the report, Paul Winn of the Hunter Community Environment Centre says research by the Alliance suggests that at least 22 threatened native fauna species will suffer substantial

range contractions in the region, and at least six species are at risk of extinction within the next 50 years.

“Habitat that will act as climate refugia for these species, as well as those areas necessary for wildlife to move as the climate changes, is currently being destroyed at an alarming rate,” he said.

“We estimate in the past 10 years more than 7,000ha of native bushland in the region has been earmarked for

greenfield urban development, and about 6,500ha of bushland was cleared between 2008 and 2017, almost a third due to logging in lower mid-coast LGAs. “Our proposal protects these climate refugia from further degradation and fragmentation and connects them with largescale functioning wildlife corridors that span climatic gradients and enhance the capacity of species populations to shift as the climate changes.

“If we are to provide the greatest chance for native species to survive the ravages of climate change, these connected habitats must be protected from further fragmentation and degradation.

“If we wish to minimise native species’ extinction, climate refugia and identified Climate Corridors must be legally protected,” Winn said.

The Alliance estimates that in 2070, existing National Parks and State Forests will support climate refugia for many of the threatened fauna species predicted to decline.

Other than an immediate moratorium on further land clearing within identified climate corridors, the Alliance wants to see State Forests transferred to National Park reserves as regional parks or another appropriate reserve category to be managed by local communities for conservation and recreation.

The Alliance is also calling for a specific strategy be included in the 2041 Regional Plans for Hunter and Central Coast for the protection of climate corridors supported by detailed zoning and development

guidelines under local environmental plans and development control plans and investment programs implemented by Local Land Services.

They say the Biodiversity Offset Scheme should be radically amended to provide adequate stewardship payments to encourage landholders to protect, manage, and rehabilitate native vegetation within Climate Corridors.

The Alliance is also calling for targeted voluntary private land acquisition of large core areas of high quality habitat and essential corridors for restoration, particularly the large areas of moist forests in southern Mid-Coast, and moist and dry landscapes across the Hunter River Valley through Cessnock, Singleton, and Dungog LGAs.

New tanker for Wyoming fire station Bush fire-battling capability across the Central Coast is set for a major boost with a stateof-the-art tanker recently delivered to Wyoming Fire Station ahead of the peak danger season.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast Adam Crouch hands over the keys to Superintendent Mick Henly

Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, handed over the keys to the $530,000 bush fire tanker.

“This multi-purpose fourwheel-drive truck features a water spray system to protect the crew, a compressed air foam system and a 3,500-litre

water tank,” Crouch said.

“It will enable our firefighters to access bush fires in difficult terrain as well as be used for building fires, rescues and other emergency incidents.

“This new truck will not only boost firefighting capability in our community but also ensure our firefighters have the best possible equipment and technology to protect life and property.”

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience Steph Cooke said the new bush fire tanker has been funded through the NSW Government’s response to the independent

Bushfire Inquiry.

“Replacing Fire and Rescue’s existing 22-year-old fleet of bush fire tankers is a priority for the NSW Government, which is why we committed a further $9M in this year’s Budget to take the total number of new appliances to 34,” Cooke said.

A total of $80M has been provided to FRNSW in response to the Bushfire Inquiry’s 76 recommendations.

Council to investigate wildlife warning signs at Kangy Angy Member for The Entrance, David Mehan, has welcomed advice from Central Coast Council that it will investigate installing wildlife warning signage on the Pacific Hwy at Kangy Angy.

The news follows reports from residents that two young wombats died early last month after being struck by motor vehicles between Burns Rd and Tuggerah Rd. “Wildlife fatalities at this location shows the need for signage,” Mehan said.

“There is a known wombat

population on the west side of the M1 and these recent fatalities indicate movement of the population now on the east side.

“Fatalities at this location shows that signage is clearly warranted.

“Our region has an abundance of amazing wildlife which we are very fortunate to live around.

“To protect our wildlife, I encourage everybody to watch for signage and drive aware.”

In a letter received by Mehan in response to his request, Council Director Infrastructure

Services Boris Bolgoff said the provision of wildlife warning signs is predominantly undertaken in line with Australian Standards.

“They are to warn road uses of the unexpected presence on the road of wild animals such as kangaroos which maybe a hazard to road users,” the letter said.

“It is not feasible to provide wildlife warning signage on the many roads throughout the entire Central Coast.

“Council has identified the wildlife corridors in the local government area which

provides valuable information in identifying corridors of significant conductivity value.”

Bolgoff said a section of the Pacific Hwy at Palmdale/Kangy Angy had been identified as a wildlife corridor.

“Therefore Council offices are investigating the appropriateness of installing wildlife warning signage on the Pacific Hwy at this location,” he said.

“It is anticipated that wildlife warning signage will be installed within three months should it be warranted.”

Calls for Pt Clare station to be manned full time Despite its recent $10,000 accessibility upgrade, Point Clare station won’t be completely user friendly until it is manned full-time, according to disability carer Trish Trumm.

The problem, Trumm says, is that disabled people still experience difficulties actually accessing the trains from the platform without the help of a guard.

The issue was highlighted one recent Friday, when Trumm was planning a train trip with client Sita Maharaj.

“At Point Clare station there is a 10-inch step up from the platform onto the train and disabled people simply can’t manage on their own,” she said.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, advised that there are boarding ramps located within blue cabinets in close proximity to the boarding assistance zones on both platforms.

But these are only available to the train guard, who is responsible for helping people on and off the train as required.

“We were there at around 11am on a Friday and there was no guard to be found,” Trumm said.

“I had to help get Sita and two suitcases onto the train and knew it would not be possible without a ramp.

“I called Gosford Station and said we were at Point Clare Station and required a ramp, to be told that Point Clare was a

Sita Maharaj is concerned that access from the platform to the train is impossible without the help of a guard

‘non-disability station’ and we would have to go to Gosford or Woy Woy station to have access to a ramp.

“As a support worker it is my number one priority to keep

clients safe.

“I feel spending $10,000,000 on lifts but then have people who have disabilities unable to get onto the train is a waste of taxpayers’ money.”

Trumm said she and Sita went to the back of the train when it arrived, hoping there would be a ramp onboard which could be used with the help of the train guard, but found trains are not equipped with on-board ramps.

They were eventually able to board with great difficulty and help from the guard.

“Sita has had a stroke and uses a walking stick,” Trumm said.

“She needs a ramp to get onto the train and is very concerned about the nonavailability of guards at this station.

“If I had not been with her on Friday she said she would not have managed to travel.”

Trumm said she had

experienced the same difficulty with other clients and often had to rely on the kindness of other passengers to help them to board.

“They have spent so much money on the station but it is still of no use to disabled people if it is not manned,” she said.

“How can they get on the train?

“You can’t always rely on the general public for help and nor should you have to.”

Trumm said, if guards could not man stations at all times, ramps should at least be provided on every train.

“There should be no such thing as a non-disability station,” she said.

Hundreds march for an end to domestic violence Around 300 people marched through Gosford on Wednesday, December 7, demanding action on putting an end to domestic and family violence.

Assembling at the Coast Shelter head office at the northern end of town at around 10am, the marchers included representatives from community groups, schools, police, Indigenous groups,

women’s groups, Central Coast Council and Coast Shelter and members of the general public.

The march proceeded along the full length of Mann St, with many walkers bearing placards.

Coast Shelter CEO Michael Starr said the event heralded the end of the United Nations’ 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, an annual international campaign

which concludes on December 10.

“This is really all about raising awareness on the Central Coast around the scourge of domestic and family violence and gender-based violence,” he said.

Starr said statistics showed that the problem was not improving in the region, which has alarmingly high domestic violence incidences.

“This issue is at the heart of our community,” he said.

“We are a smart and wealthy community in a smart and wealthy nation and yet we still have women’s safety at the top of our social issues.

“It is not good enough.

“When you see the number of children under the age of 12 with their mums in lour crisis refuges it breaks your heart.

“We had over 40 children in

our refuges just last night and that trauma sticks with these kids all their lives.”

Starr said the variety of groups represented in the march showed the issue resonated with the entire community.

“People want this to improve; we want to make sure we get rid of domestic violence on the Central Coast,” he said.

Coast Shelter suggested six

major strategies to combat the problem in its position paper on Breaking the Cycle of Domestic Violence, officially launched in April.

The paper says governments must invest in a raft of prevention strategies to stop violence, abuse and neglect before they start by tackling root causes.

Food pantry needs more donations Every fortnight a team of volunteers provides support for those in need at the Seventh Day Adventist Church pantry in Woy Woy, with more donations needed.

Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch visited the team recently and spoke to many local community members about the cost of living crisis.

Michelle Barlow, one of the coordinators, said the number of users of the church’s pantry was on the rise.

“Our clientele has increased over the last year from 30-40 people per fortnight to now up to 120 people,” she said.

While Bakers Delight at Woy Woy generously donates bread every fortnight. Barlow said the pantry receives no support

The food pantry operates every fortnight

from local supermarkets and relies on donations from

community.

“Our support comes from the

community who donate food items to our pantry, and we buy

food supplies from Foodbank in Sydney,” she said.

Users of the pantry are asked to pay $10 and in return receive groceries valued at over $100.

One user, who is raising two grandchildren, said services such as the pantry go a long way towards making things a little bit easier.

Tesch said the rise in demand for services such as the food pantry acts as a reminder of the cost of rising living costs.

“As the cost of living pressures rise and the number of people relying on food support increases, (I say) thank you to all the volunteers for helping their community,” she said.

“Over the past 12 years, the Liberals have privatised over $90B in public assets, including our electricity network, power

stations and motorways.

“By selling off these assets to private companies the government has lost control of prices, making cost of living pressures even harder.

“The rise of services like these acts as a reminder of how bad the cost of living crisis is.”

The team at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is in need of more donations of canned food, toiletries and cat and dog food.

CEN recognises the quiet achievers The Community Environment Network has recognised the “quiet achievers” who work to protect the sustainability and environment of the Central Coast at its 2022 Be A Team (BAT) Awards.

Ann and Stephen Parsons from the Pearl Beach Crommelin Native Arboretum took out the Most Outstanding Allrounder category.

CEN Deputy Chair John Asquith said the pair became members of the Crommelin Native Arboretum when they settled permanently at Pearl Beach in 2009.

“Anne joined a Coastal Hazards Committee and was instrumental in getting the Pearl Beach Lagoon being within the remit for the study of

lagoons on the Central Coast and contributed strongly to the subsequent ecological studies of the lagoon,” Asquith said.

“She was instrumental in obtaining a grant of $20,000 from the Commonwealth Government for a project to promote native bee conservation and examining the feasibility of re-introducing koalas into the Brisbane Water area.

“The project was refocussed to one ensuring habitat support for both koalas and native bees in the Arboretum.

“Stephen has been a member of Pearl Beach Bushcare since 2009 and has superbly led the team for almost 10 years.

“He has also been a member of the Arboretum Management Committee.

CEN CEO Sam Willis, Stephen Parsons, Deputy Chair John Asquith, Ann Parsons and Chair Gary Chestnut at the awards

“Stephen has organised and run Clean Up Australia since 2010 and also removes litter all year round from the local

roadsides in and around Pearl Beach.”

Asquith said the couple had

participated in local environmental activities including CEN and Arboretum working bees, arranging guest

speakers, managing environment focussed functions and fund raisers and encouraging others to join the Arboretum, Bushcare and Cleanup days.

The Best 12th Man or Woman award for someone who has worked tirelessly in the background to help others in the front line went to Ellen Jean (EJ) Kidd for her Land for Wildlife volunteer work.

New intersection will ease traffic flow The completion of the Pacific Highway duplication at Lisarow is a step closer, with a new intersection at Tuggerah St now open.

Transport for NSW Regional Director North, Anna Zycki, said the State Government was investing $178 to upgrade the highway between Ourimbah St and Parsons Rd. “We know traffic is an issue on this important connecting route through the Central Coast and this is an important step in busting that congestion,” Zycki said.

“The new intersection, including the installation of traffic signals, will improve safety for road users and

ensure easier accessibility to the local road network, which is a huge win for the community and our freight industry.

“Once completed, the Pacific Highway duplication will improve traffic flow, travel times and safety for the 30,000 motorists who use this 1.6-kilometre section of the Pacific Hwy each day.

“The project has also provided a welcome boost to the local economy, providing work for about 1400 people to date, including more than 150 different suppliers and contractors.”

Zycki said the new intersection realigned traffic connecting the Pacific Hwy directly with Tuggerah Stvia traffic signals.

Central Coast Nambus makes its last journey It will be the end of an era when the Nambus sets off on its final journey to the Vietnam Veteran’s Museum based at Phillip Island in Victoria in January next year.

For the past 30 years, the bus, fitted out as a museum with Army, Navy and Air Force memorabilia and manned by volunteers from the Gosford Branch of the Vietnam Veterans’ Association, has travelled to schools all over NSW, educating students on the Vietnam War and Australia’s military involvement.

But with the association’s membership ageing and a shortage of qualified volunteers, coupled with rising touring costs, the bus is to be donated to the Victorian museum, with Coasties having two last chances to inspect it before it heads south.

On Saturday, December 17, a farewell will be held at Diggers Ettalong Beach and on January 14 the bus will be dispatched from the Coast at a special ceremony at the Vietnam veterans’ memorial on the

The Nambus on one of its last school visits

Ettalong foreshore.

Vietnam veteran Gordon Lawson has been a member of the Gosford Branch for 14 years and President for the past three.

He has been involved with the Nambus as a driver and volunteer for the past 13 years.

“In that time, we have visited 367 schools from Western NSW to as far north as Kempsey, as well as in Sydney, Hornsby, and of course all over the Central Coast, “Lawson said.

“We have spoken to more than 39,000 students and the bus has also served as a static display at 130 local shows, fetes and events.”

The current bus is the third iteration of the Nambus.

The first, a former state transit vehicle, was obtained from the NSW Government with the help of then Member for Gosford, Marie Andrews, in the early 1990s.

In 1998 it was replaced with a second vehicle, which was in

turn replaced in 2004 with the final vehicle when Nambus 2 became unroadworthy.

“The kids absolutely loved it when we visited the schools,” Lawson said.

“The bus has everything from ration packs to dog tags, the bandages we carried in our packs and weaponry.

“We would explain to the kids what each was for and share our experiences and the climate at the time with them, including explanations of

conscription and Agent Orange.

“The kids could dress up in the clothing and we ran military drills with them and had lots of interactive activities.”

Branch Secretary Lorraine Scott, whose husband Peter is also a Vietnam veteran and has served as a volunteer driver on the bus, said the program had been a huge success over the years.

“Some of our volunteers are in their 80s now, including Leo Lees and Jack Chalker, who

have both been actively involved with the Nambus for many years,” she said.

“They and others would answer questions from the kids such as why they joined up and would tell about their battle experiences.

“I remember one youngster asking one of them what had been his worst day.

“When he replied ‘I watched my best mate die’, I could hear the shockwaves among the children.”

The final farewell will be held at Diggers Ettalong from 10am1pm on Saturday, December 17, with interested people able to look through the bus.

On January 14, the bus will be blessed by the local padre and formally decommissioned at the Vietnam veterans’ memorial on the Ettalong foreshore at 11am, with the bus available for viewing from 9am.

It will depart the Central Coast on January 15, with two overnight stays en-route to Phillip Island.

Lower Hawkesbury continues to prepare for emergencies With the ever-present threat of floods and bushfires cutting off the townships of the Lower Hawkesbury, River Cares is continuing its campaign of community readiness.

Riding on the success of last year’s Community Information Day, the group held another on December 3, supported and funded by the Central Coast Council.

River Cares President Robyn Downham said the group wanted to add a new dimension to the day promoting local businesses and invited the Spencer Thai, the Hawkesbury Duck and the Anchor to be included in what this year was called a Community Information

The community day was well attended

and Promotion Day. “After the severe March and July floods (and thankfully we

dodged a bullet during September and October), it was wonderful to see (so many) organisations come down to

Spencer to support this event,” she said.

“They provided a plethora of

informative booklets, pamphlets etc, connecting with the residents and listen to their problems and experiences during the floods.

“The whole purpose of these community information days is to pass on knowledge, advice and guidance to the residents so that they are better prepared and self-sufficient for future weather events.”

Downham said residents are also encouraged not to take unnecessary risks which may also impact on emergency services.

“River Cares would like to thank Breanna Pollock from Central Coast Council, Lauren Shields from Central Coast Local Area Health, Louise Fletcher Rural Recovery Officer

from DPI, David Hytche and crew from Marine Rescue Hawkesbury, Laura Shead and Mel Dunn from the National Emergency Management Team, Jeff Daniel from Peppercorn Services, Sue from the Red Cross, Werner Klump and his team from the SES Gosford Unit,Keith Aranjo representing Mangrove Emergency Planning and Communications and the very supportive Spencer RFS,” she said.

“We would also like to thank Greg and Donna at the Malaluka Caravan Park for allowing us to hold this event on their premises.”

Firefighters battle bushfire in steep terrain at Woy Woy It was hard going for 54 firefighters who battled a bushfire last weekend, having to negotiate rocky drop-offs and crevices over 2ha of steep terrain at Woy Woy. Fire crews were alerted at about 5pm on Saturday, November 3 that the bush was alight between Woy Woy tip and Shoalhaven Dr. They immediately began work to extinguish and mitigate the spread of fire by using hand tools and other firefighting equipment and by 8.30pm the fire was contained.

In the early hours of Sunday morning Empire Bay/Bensville Rural Fire Brigade were on the scene again because of the possibility of a flare-up.

When they arrived, they were met with irregular smoke paths billowing out of the bushland and went to work to locate the fire, which they found on a steep 400m incline.

The fire crews created a restricted burn site in an

attempt to limit the spread to other sources of fuel, such as bark, shrubs, leaves, while using hand tools – rakes, hoes and air blowers – in dry firefighting practices.

By 7.15am the Empire Bay firefighters requested additional resources to help control the fire with many crews responding from surrounding areas, including the specialist remote area team.

After hours of tedious work, the fire was suppressed and mopping-up began.

Rural Fire Brigades came from Somersby, Pearl Beach, Kariong, Copacabana, Wamberal, The Bays, Narara, Killcare/Wagstaffe, Patonga, Wadalba, Erina, Central Coast headquarters and the Central Coast Communications Brigade.

The terrain was hard going with crews having to negotiate rocky drop-offs, steep slopes

and crevices and their hard work wasn’t missed by local homeowners, some of whom bought in pizzas and freshly baked biscuits for the crews.

A Rural Fire Service spokesperson said that even with the recent rains, this was a timely reminder that we are in a bushfire danger period and to have your bushfire survival plan ready.

“Fires can become unpredictable quite quickly and

move rapidly given the right forecast and fuel,” he said.

The advice is to have your plan ready and check the FiresNearMe app for updates.

Bravery award for Gwandalan firefighters Two members of Gwandalan and Summerland Point Rural Fire Brigade have received bravery awards from the Royal Humane Society.

Gwandalan was rocked by an explosion at about 7am on Father’s Day in 2020.

Life Member and former Captain Phil Blackmore (who was Central Coast Deputy Group 4 at the time) and off duty paramedic Matt Wilson (now a member of the brigade) heard the explosion rushed to the scene to assist.

The explosion was caused by an acetylene cylinder in a car and they found an unconscious man with significant burns, wounds and bleeding.

Blackmore and Wilson commenced resuscitation on the injured man lying beside the car while the car was still burning and exploding next to them with neighbours doing their best to cool the car with a garden hose.

When further help arrived, the scene was deemed volatile and a 100m exclusion zone was established.

Blackmore and Wilson continued to work with paramedics on the injured man within the exclusion zone to give him every chance of survival regardless of the risk to themselves. During a ceremony at Government house on Friday, November 25

About 6.30am on Sunday, December 4 emergency services responded to reports of fire in an area of bushland at Ourimbah.

Upon arrival to the Glen Rd address, fire crews found about six spot fires which were subsequently extinguished by Rural Fire Service firefighters.

Investigators are treating the fires as suspicious.

As inquiries continue, investigators are appealing for

anyone with information or dashcam vision from Glen Rd to come forward.

With warmer weather setting in, local police encourage anyone who witnesses suspicious behaviour near bush or grassland to report it immediately.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw. crimestoppers.com.au.

No need for a path three metres wide At a recent site meeting with Central Coast Council’s agent, community members attempted to put a case for keeping Council from partially destroying the remaining fragment of the dune (at Umina Beach).

Again, Council’s agent was determined to encroach into the dune to build a 3 metre wide concrete path.

When asked why so wide we were told that we needed a concrete path and 3metres was his standard, and that’s what he going to build, despite the existing concrete footpath to which this path will connect being only 2.4 metres wide.

The existing path, leading to the recreation area has no constraints as to width.

Readers will be familiar with this path – it runs parallel to the road from Umina Surf Club.

This road sets the standard for Council roads in recreational areas, it is cleverly designed with speed humps and potholes to slow the speed of motor vehicles.

Space exists on the righthand side of the approach road to the caravan park for a 2.4

FORUM See Page 2 for address and contribution conditions.

Opinions expressed are those of the writer and not necessarily of the newspaper metre footpath and a barrier fence to protect pedestrians from slow moving vehicles.

Some expense will be incurred in designing a few extra speed humps and a couple of dozen of Council’s signature potholes judiciously placed to ensure maximum discomfort to road users (mostly nuisance tourists).

The dune could then be cared for and, God forbid, enhanced to provide a scenic barrier to the beach.

The existing car park could then be concreted at Council’s convenience, sometime before 2030 or not.

Where is the cost-benefit analysis for the Super Battery?

I read in Issue 370 of CC News, with dread, of the SUPER battery planned for the site of the former Munmorah (coal) power station.

I am relieved not to have to read the 212 page document with hundreds of pages of accompanying reports.

This is because the description (it being an Environmental Impact Statement … important though it is) would say nothing about a vital issue: do we have a cost/benefit analysis of the proposal?

Our attention is being diverted away from the practical

FORUM realities by a tonnage of paperwork.

Has such a SUPER battery ever been proven to be economically viable anywhere in the world? I think not.

Perusal of the figures in the CC News article show that the proposed total electricity storage would be 1,680 MWh and the corresponding facilities require 14 hectares (lost to sheep grazing).

It is meant to be backup power of course.

However, if you assume that

the average household consumes 10.7 KWh of electricity per day, then our 1,680 MWh of storage would power 157,000 households for one day.

This is less than 5% of households in NSW. Backup is for peak load exceptions like during a heat wave or a cold snap, but would it be of more use than an AA battery if we have a heat wave?

Furthermore, what will the ultimate cost be to the taxpayer?

Unfortunately, the taxpayer only finds out later and factors other than government are

then said to have the blame for increased taxes.

Economics and practicality should take precedence over ideology, but the general population will only revolt when there are frequent blackouts and when the costs of expensive power hurt.

Australia is making sure it is no longer the lucky country especially as it has made nuclear illegal. Nuclear is the only source that is economic and reliable … just have a look at what the rest of the (developed) world has done.

More bad dog owners leave us in the poop It makes my blood boil.

A lady walked her dog off the lead (wrong) on the no dog beach (wrong) and the dog pooped and she didn’t pick up the poop.

The first two instances are against the law, but her

FORUM response was “Get a life; you don’t own the beach”.

I know I don’t own the beach, but does she realise she is breaking the law?

Until penalties are punitive,

advertised and enforced this behaviour will continue.

No wonder the Central Coast has one of the highest rates of dog incidents.

Bold and beautiful artwork at Red Tree Theatre Central Coast artist Randa Magdi will team up with fellow artist from Sydney Lisa-Ellen Hughes to present The Bold and the Beautiful exhibition at the Red Tree Theatre in January.

The exhibition will feature an eclectic collaboration of portraits, landscapes, abstracts and photography by the two artists, who have joined forces for the first time to produce an explosion of colour and differing styles that meld together.

Magdi has exhibited internationally and has been a finalist in various art prizes.

She recently won Runner Up prize in the Acon Life in Colour art prize and the Bent Art prize.

Her art caught the attention of international galleries inviting her to exhibit in Milan, Italy, Barcelona, Spain and to take part in the Night of Contemporary 2023 in Crete, Greece.

Her vibrant art is rich in hues and patterns creating asymmetrical portraits spontaneously.

Fauvism is a strong influence in her colour palette creating uneven faces ignoring art conventions and methods.

Hughes has featured in many prestigious art prizes and last

year won the OAM Nick Waterlow Highly Commended in the Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize.

Her art was chosen to feature in the Burwood Council hoarding project and was also included on flags displayed in the area.

Shehas also featured in an exhibition in Milan, Italy and recently won first place in the Acon Life in Colour art prize.

She is a multi-disciplined artist in painting, drawing, water colour, animation, sculpture, film and video, digital art and installation art.

Hughes has been a finalist in

the Mosman art prize, Hunter Art Prize, Gallipoli Art prize and the Waverley art prize.

Both artists think outside the box and defy the norm by producing a creative process of varying work.

The exhibition takes place at The Red Tree Theatre and an Exhibition Space in Tuggerah from January 3-29.

Viewings can be made via appointment on 0401 141 222.

Inspiring dance works at Naughty Noodle An inspiring program of original dance works choreographed by young people incarcerated in youth justice centres including Frank Baxter at Kariong will be presented at the Naughty Noodle Fun Haus, Ettalong Beach, on December 13.

Beyond the Walls visited two NSW youth justice centres – Frank Baxter and Reiby Youth Justice Centre, six days a week for six weeks.

They worked with young people aged 11-19,encouraging them to share experiences and stories in the form of dance and directing the dancers.

Founded in the suburbs of Bouddi in July 2021 by community-minded locals, Home Markets has been spreading its core message of Home Grown, Home Made, Pre Loved, with regular Home Made Trails held throughout the region each month.

The initiative has been inspiring Coasties since lockdown to get creative, get connected and get to know

The inspiring program will be presented at Ettalong on December 13

Together, they found a collective voice for their individual experience.

Phunktional has since

collaborated with artists on projects across the country, and more than 350,000 people have been a part of or seen

their work.

In the lead up to a performance at Sydney Dance Company, Gerard Veltre and members of

Phunktional will host a series of performances and events across NSW to raise awareness of youth incarceration and the mental and physical health of young people.

The program will include a screening of the dance films created at Frank Baxter Youth Justice Centre and a live performance of a dance piece created by the young women at Reiby Youth Justice Centre.

There will also be a Q&A panel featuring the artists from Beyond the Walls.

Phunktional Founder and Artistic Director Gerard Veltre said the company is thrilled to be able to share the immensely

powerful, uplifting, and inspiring work with new audiences across NSW. “This is a unique opportunity to see work created by incarcerated youth, to support their journey of healing and to celebrate their achievements by sharing their stories beyond the walls,” he said.

The alcohol-free event is free, but registration is essential on the Naughty Noodle website.

Beyond the Walls will be presented at the Naught Noodle Fun Haus, Ettalong Beach, at 7pm on Tuesday, December 13.

Join the Home Markets Trail this weekend their neighbours again, as a way to improve individual and community wellbeing during unprecedented times.

Home Markets founder Lisa Mount is passionate about using creativity to improve wellbeing on an individual level and within communities.

“Sharing, swapping or selling home-grown produce, handmade items or pre-loved wares is not only a practical, sustainable lifestyle approach, it also strengthens relationships within

communities,” Mount said.

“When we use our hands to grow, make, bake, create or pass on pre-loved anything from a space of genuine creativity and care, we re-connect with our true nature and our mental health naturally improves.”

Mount said the Home Markets website, developed by Nick Baron of Bean Farm Web Design, has been pivotal in helping small business promote their wares online, without financial overheads which

many can no longer afford.

The website also features a google map, allowing people to carve out their own Home Markets Trail routes based on their favourite home stalls, and an event calendar featuring upcoming Trails, with the next to be held on December 11.

The Trail is a market experience where people can walk, ride or drive around their neighbourhood and shop at the open Home Stalls, Mount said.

Many of the stalls now have a

Home Markets flag flying, thanks to community partner Belle Property Central Coast.

Trails run every second Sunday of the month.

“I’m encouraging my own family to go home-grown, hand-made and pre-loved this Christmas by tending our edible home garden, making or sourcing hand made products and upcycled pre-loved wares,” Mount said.

“I love the Home Markets platform as it’s made it easy and

simple for other Central Coast families to do this as well.”

OUT&ABOUT

WWW.COASTCOMMUNITYNEWS.COM.AU

Terrigal author publishes fantasy novel with deeper messages Louise Coree Whitfield of Terrigal has combined insights gained during her career as a family counsellor and her love of fantasy fiction to produce her very first novel.

The Lurkin is a tale highlighting how misunderstandings, suspicions and superstitions lead to mass hysteria in the fantasy townships of Scaysborough and Tremlite.

With a Masters in Social Science and Welfare Studies, Whitfield has worked with children and their families for over 20 years.

“My initial inspiration for the book came years ago when my own children were little,” she said.

“I realised there were so many people blaming others for things in their lives.

“It’s almost like people put problems outside themselves – there are a lot of myths and prejudices involved.

“As a teenager I loved reading Tolkien – being taken into a fantasy Adventureland.

“So the idea came to me to use those fantasy concepts but instil some moral and ethical messages to show people how to look at things differently.”

With those aims in mind, Whitfield wrote the first draft of her book.

“I got led down a few garden paths about publishing and pulled it off the market, deciding

to add some more chapters incorporating some of the experiences I had had as a counsellor,” she said.

“I wanted the book to look at families going through adversity.

“For example, one of the characters uses alcohol and the book looks at the effects that has not just on that person, but on his family.

“It evolved into a fantasy story with moral lessons.”

Whitfield decided to introduce some unlikely heroic characters, including a “grumpy old woman” and a nine-year-old boy.

“In the end, the book took me over 10 years to write,” she said.

Especially concerned with the mental health of children and

young people, Whitfield is hoping youngsters will see something of themselves in the story.

“I’d like young people to realise that despite their journeys they are still heroes,” she said.

“The book is about getting people to see things through different perspective and discover their own inner hero.

“I often see great altruism and heroism coming from adversity – there could be another book in that.”

The Lurkin is published by Shoreline Publishing and is available at www. shawlinepublishing.com.au, good book stores and online book stores (including Amazon).

Wealth of maritime history in new lighthouse book The Norah Head Lighthouse book by Tony James will be officially launched at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour in Sydney and available to readers early in the new year.

It’s a beautiful quality, hardcover book packed with illustrations and in eight parts from the beginnings of the lighthouse 119 years ago.

Starting with Part One and the First Peoples Barra Barang Ancient Land, the book moves through chapters Terre Australe Distant Shores; As the Rivers Ran, Darling Harbour and the Sixty Milers; Shipwrecks along the Coast; Norah Head Coastal Light; The Lighthouse and How It Works; the Lighthouse

CCN

Keepers and finally Flags and Radios.

Secretary of the Norah Head Lighthouse Reserve Management Board, Doug Darlington, said it was a comprehensive and detailed book.

“It covers shipwrecks along the coast, trading that happened up and down the coast, the mechanics of how the old lighthouse used to work as far as the lenses and their burners and the different changes with those over the years – they’re all carefully documented, especially the clock work operation,” he said.

“And the book is much more than that.

“Special thanks go to our publisher Carolen Birripp of

New book documents lighthouse role in maritime history

CLC Creations and our editor Meredith McGown.

“Both donated a lot of free time to the project which became a labour of love.

“They ensured that Tony

James’ great vision became a reality and that his remarkable illustrations were published,” Darlington said.

The Board is taking predelivery orders for the book by

sending an email request to NHLRboard@outlook.com The Norah Head Lighthouse book was one of only 21 projects across Australia to gain funding in the latest round of grants under the Maritime Museums of Australia Project Support Scheme.

With support from the Australian Government, the Scheme helps projects by museums and cultural organisations that preserve and promote Australia’s maritime legacy.

Director and CEO of the Australian National Maritime Museum, Daryl Karp, said a shared connection with our seas and waterways was an essential part of our national story.

BOOK REVIEW Demon Copperhead Authors: Barbara Kingsolver Publisher: Faber

If the title sounds a lot like David Copperfield, that is intentional.

From what I read, Kingsolver based this book off the Dickens classic, but alas, that is where the comparison ends for me because I haven’t read David Copperfield (for shame).

Demon Copperhead is not his real name but seems like nicknames are the way to go in rural Virginia.

The area is poor, “mining labor was the end game”, so education wasn’t really valued.

But any mining left is done with machines now, people

are not needed.

It is place the city folk look down on but “to all the smart people of the world with their dumb hillbilly jokes: We are right here ... We can actually hear you.”

Demon Copperhead was born Damon Fields.

Fields is the last name of his Mom. He never knew this father, who was killed before Damon was born.

The Demon name came about “long before school age” and Copperhead, well that happened “once I got my copper-wire hair”.

Demon’s mother gave birth to him when she was 18 years old, right there in the trailer where she lived, “Kid born to a junkie is a junkie.”

Odds were against Demon right from the get-go.

Luckily the Peggots lived next door and were kind to Demon and his mother.

But even they couldn’t protect her when she ended up marrying “Stoner”, who would abuse Demon and his mother.

And when you think things can’t get worse, lo and behold, they do.

Demon was sent to a series

of foster homes, with one being worse than the the other.

Starvation, slave labour, neglect was what these homes offered.

Finally, after a wild search Demon finds his father’s mother.

That one move helps put Demon’s life back on track as he ends up living with Coach Winfield of the Lee High General football team and his daughter, Angus (not her real name, like I said, this town is crazy about its nicknames).

Demon thrives.

He ends up having food enough to eat, clean clothes to wear, an art teacher that sees his potential in the cartoon he draws, friends that look up to him and a Coach that grooms him to be one of the best players on the football team.

Oh, but good things never last and after an injury he is prescribed oxy for the pain and that will set a long slide downwards where he will lose everything and everyone.

“I don’t know a single person

“As an island continent, our unique identity is reflected in the wealth of vessels, artefacts and stories that make up Australia’s maritime heritage,” he said.

‘This legacy extends far beyond large collections and institutions and is sustained by an extensive network of museums, organisations and community projects across Australia – including in regional and remote areas – and the dedicated people who drive and support them.

‘It is through the vital efforts of this network that our national maritime heritage is shaped and preserved for future generations,’ Karp said.

Sue Murray

my age that’s not taking pills.”

Lucky for good people and the wherewithal to appreciate them when they come along.

The story is told by an adult Demon looking back his life since his birth.

He was told by his therapist to keep a journal and maybe this book is the product of that.

There are times you want to hug Demon, as he is so alone and mistreated.

There are times you want to punch Demon for making some terrible decisions.

But there is no denying that he is an interesting, complex person that has had to overcome some immense obstacles.

This is a long book and really blew my average of reading a book a week this year (this one took me over two weeks) but it was well worth it.

Latest plans for Archibald get the go-ahead

An artist’s impression of the Archibald development

Central Coast Council has approved amended plans for the $250M Archibald development slated for the corner of Mann and Donnison Sts in Gosford.

Originally approved in May 2015 by the Joint Regional Planning Panel, the site sat idle for several years before being acquired in June this year by Aland Property Developments.

The original approval was for a hotel complex with 134 rooms, amenities and meeting

facilities over two 28-storey towers, car parking over one basement level and three above ground levels for 476 vehicles and 276 residential units in the two towers.

At the time, the development was predicted to have a positive effect on the local economy and kickstart the revitalisation of the Gosford CBD. But the project has seen several amendments and delays since.

The consent was modified on December 23, 2016, to

increase the number of hotel rooms from 134 to 167 with a reduction in hotel room sizes to accommodate the increase and modifications to amenities and meeting facilities.

Hotel rooms were to be provided in the east tower only.

The modification also saw an increase in car parking spaces from 476 vehicles to 507 and an increase in residential units from 276 to 342 with a reduction in size of units and balconies.

Further amendments on July

24, 2020, saw an amended site description to include lot 2 DP 504322 No 120A Mann St, which was not included in the original description by error, and several layout revisions.

Subsequent amendments saw hotel rooms remain at 167, residential apartments reduce to 289 and parking spaces increase to 910.

In Aland’s latest amendment, approved by Council on November 22, changes are largely internal with the form and presentation of the building

maintained basically as originally approved.

The primary changes see a reduction in the number of hotel rooms from 167 to 130 and an increase in the number of apartments from 289 to 323.

These will include a mix of one, two three and fourbedroom units between the two towers.

The amendment will see the removal of two of the lower basement levels, reconfiguration of carparking layouts and reduction in

carparking from 910 to 708 spaces.

Other amendments include an increase in area to the pub offering with associated gaming room and a reduction in the commercial area on Level 1.

There will also be an adjustment to hotel facilities and amenities at L5 and L6 and provision of a rooftop bar and restaurant.

World environment award for Take 3 for the Sea After being announced winner of a National Energy Globe Award for Australia, Central Coast environmental charity Take 3 for the Sea has gone on to win an Energy Globe World Award just days later.

The Energy Globe World Award for Sustainability is a prestigious environmental prize awarded by working for environmental well-being and sustainability.

The foundation’s goal is to highlight solutions to environmental problems.

It recognizes projects that focus on innovative ways to protect the environment through personal action, sustainable initiatives or campaigns for raising awareness about sustainability.

There were more than 3,000 entries worldwide from 160 countries.

Take 3 was delighted to be selected first as the winner for Australia in the Youth category of the competition.

It was then nominated for the world award which recognises the world’s best environmental projects for young people and was announced the winner on November 30, beating fellow finalists from Spain and Venezuela to the top spot.

The Energy Globe World Award recognises Take 3’s unique, simple and positive solution to a complex global environmental problem – marine plastic pollution.

The win was announced at a stunning ceremony in Vienna, with Take 3 For the Sea CoFounders Mandy Marechal and

Roberta Dixon-Valk (second from right) accepting the award in Vienna

Roberta Dixon-Valk receiving the award.

“I am honoured to accept this prestigious sustainability award on behalf of Take 3 for the Sea and our amazing global community,” Dixon-Valk said.

“Take 3 firmly believes that everyone has a role to play in reducing plastic pollution … and strives to open people’s eyes to the plastic pandemic and then start a conversation on reducing their individual

plastic footprint.

“It is humbling to see our simple idea acknowledged in such a significant forum.”

Dixon-Valk paid tribute to “13 years of hard work by dedicated staff and volunteers”.

Take 3 for the Sea was founded in 2009 in response to the ongoing issue of plastic pollution leaking into our oceans and choking marine wildlife.

Marine ecologist Roberta Dixon-Valk and youth educator Amanda Marechal developed an idea where a simple action could produce profound consequences and were joined by environmentalist Tim Silverwood to found Take 3 for the Sea. The charity is based on a simple call to action.

Take three pieces of rubbish with you when you leave the beach, the waterway – or anywhere – and you have made a difference.

Umina development refused again A proposal for the construction of commercial premises and shop-top housing at Umina Beach has once again been refused by the Central Coast Local Planning Panel (LPP).

At its meeting on October 24, the panel voted unanimously to uphold its former refusal of the proposal, which would see four levels of housing sitting atop commercial premises at street level on a T-shaped block at1-3 Alfred St and 315 West St. The development would provide 14 apartments.

existing single-storey chemist shop with a shopfront to West St and parking at the rear with access to Alfred St. To the rear of the chemist shop, with frontage to Alfred St,

is a prefabricated building used as a pathology collection facility and an older singlestorey brick house.

The proposal is for demolition of the prefab building and

house and relocation of the parking spots at the rear of the chemist shop.

A new commercial development fronting West St would retain the chemist shop

and be topped by four levels providing two one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units and eight three-bedroom units.

But the panel reinforced its refusal, saying the proposal is non-compliant with the Gosford LEP 2014, SEPP65 and Gosford DCP 2013 and would constitute an “undesirable precedent” for future development.

“The proposed development pattern does not promote efficient use of land (and its) footprint may have a potentially negative impact on the future development potential of adjoining sites,” the LPP minutes say.

“The proposed height of five storeys includes some noncompliances with the minimum floor to ceiling heights under the Apartment Design Guide and exceeds the four-storey limit for the site set out in the

Gosford Development Control Plan 2013 (GDCP2013).

“No compelling reason has been put forward to justify the exceedance of these height limits in the applicable planning controls.”

The panel also found that proposed building setbacks/ building separation do not comply with planning control and that the development would not “promote the orderly and economic use and development of the land”.

Also refused by the LPP at its October 24 meeting were two separate proposals for threeunit multi dwelling housing at 16 and 34 Warrah St, Ettalong Beach.

“During her executive roles with local government, Ms Racomelara has gained vast experience in strategic planning, operational leadership, financial discipline and recovery, crisis management and working within corporate services,” Farmer said.

“Ms Racomelara’s work across local government in regional and city areas gives her a unique ability to understand the day-to-day needs and aspirations of different communities and groups.

“I am confident that Marissa will add great value to the

upward trajectory already being achieved by Council, and further help strengthen our commitment to continue to improve our operations and service delivery to the community.”

Controversy over new land tax scheme Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast Adam Crouch says criticism by Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch of the State Government’s new land tax scheme shows a “total lack of understanding”.

The scheme, passed recently in the NSW Parliament, allows first home buyers to choose between paying an annual land tax or an upfront stamp duty on their property.

It covers all properties bought

by first home buyers worth up to $1.5M. Tesch said the scheme would potentially force many out of their homes with the taxes calculated based on the value of their property and property prices rising. “(This) land tax is incredibly short-sighted and instead of supposedly helping young people into homes this will impose a forever tax that many simply will not be able to afford,” she said.

CREATING FINANCIAL FREEDOM

Another surprise on the cards for ‘evil’ inflation WITH

Michelle BALTAZAR Editor-in-Chief • Money magazine

High inflation has been the big surprise this year: it has driven an aggressive tightening in monetary policy and a sharp rise in the risk of recession, which has in turn driven a plunge in sharemarkets.

The good news is that it’s likely to surprise on the downside in 2023.

The surge in inflation has been driven by a combination of: supply-side disruptions flowing from the pandemic; strong goods demand through the pandemic that depleted inventories and then a surge in services demand on reopening at a time of limited spare capacity and now tight labour markets; higher commodity prices flowing from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; and very strong money supply growth through the pandemic.

Now there are indications that inflationary pressures are starting to top out or reverse: Uncertainty remains high

•

around the war in Ukraine, but gas and coal prices may have seen their worst, and oil, metal and food prices are off their highs.

Measures of supply disruption are easing, with business surveys showing falling delivery times, and work backlogs and freight rates are down from their highs.

This is being reflected in a rollover in producer price inflation outside Europe.

Business surveys also show – outside Europe – that input and output price inflation is off its high.

Goods inflation appears to have peaked.

And slower demand (or GDP growth) will lead to reduced capacity utilisation and eventually higher unemployment, which will see overall inflation, particularly for services, peak.

At the same time, money supply growth has fallen.

This is being reflected in

Gap in returns from property trusts has market guessing One of the many remarkable things about investment returns in the past financial year was the strong returns from unlisted assets, especially unlisted property.

According to some reports, unlisted property delivered returns of 17.7% compared with listed property’s -8.9%.

A gap of almost 27% forces us to ask what is going on.

Because unlisted property is privately owned, its owners need to have them valued by independent experts.

Their estimated values are based on deep understanding of the property market and sound economic reasoning.

The owners would also argue that any higher return from unlisted property is the reward for illiquidity.

Listed property, as its name indicates, is held in a fund listed on the stock exchange, and its value is simply what the shares are worth.

While we expect some differ-

ences in unlisted versus listed property valuations, we don’t expect differences of 27%.

Trouble is, there‘s no way of finding out who’s right or wrong until you try to sell the unlisted property.

But while we can’t resolve this debate, we can at least try to manage it.

The owners of unlisted property should be transparent about who does their valuations, and they should be willing – depending on the nature of the fund (for example, is it a public offer or private?) – to share how the valuation was arrived at.

Financial regulators also

need to put up guiderails on how valuations of unlisted property should be done.

Regulators that have concerns about any valuations can then call in property owners and demand they explain themselves.

Students recognised for excellence in Aboriginal education Three Central Coast students have been celebrated for their excellence in Aboriginal education in NSW public schools at the 17th Nanga Mai Awards.

The awards are presented by the NSW Department of Education and recognise students, school staff and Elders who have made significant contributions in their communities.

The Coast students were among 30 academically successful students, public speakers, performing artists, sportspeople and student leaders to win an award this year at a ceremony held on November 30 at Sydney Opera House.

Lachlan Masters of Erina High School won an award for Outstanding Academic Excellence.

His nomination said Lachlan consistently strives to achieve academic excellence, achieving first in the year for PDHPE, Music, Chemistry Stage 6, and Mathematics Advanced Stage 6, as well as fourth in Mathematics Extension 1 Stage 6in his Preliminary HSC Academic Report Semester 1 – 2022.

“Lachlan’s teachers describe

him as mature, diligent, productive, disciplined, organised and enthusiastic,” the nomination said. “(He) is a proactive member of our school community who volunteers his time during break on Fridays to tutor Stage 4 students.

“He is also a member of our Aboriginal Leadership Team and a participant in the Duke of Edinburgh program.

“Lachlan is an extremely capable and dedicated young man and an outstanding role model for Aboriginal students.”

Outstanding Achievement in Performing, Creative and Visual Arts awards went to Summer Kirby of Tuggerah Public School and Trinity Dawson of Tuggerah

Lakes Secondary College, Tumbi.

Summer’s nomination said the was born on Guringai Country, an intensely proud young Bundjalung woman.

“A gifted and talented performer, Summer excels in highlighting the unique and spiritual experience of Aboriginal dance for her culture and people,” it said.

“Summer is captivating and versatile and helps promote Aboriginal identity through dance.

“She thrives, sharing the traditions of her people and keeping Aboriginal culture alive for future generations.

“She is creative and blends her passions of dance, art, and

Trinity Dawson

song to continue the storytelling traditions of her ancestors.”

The nomination said Summer uses her skills and knowledge of dance to mentor younger Aboriginal students in their cultural pursuits and has facilitated Aboriginal dance workshops for local schools.

“Her ability and effortless leadership have seen her represent the Tuggerah Public School’s Aboriginal Dance Group as lead dancer since its inception,” it said.

“Under her lead the dance group opened the Central Coast Dance Festival and Central Coast Showcase.”

Trinity’s nomination said she was a proud Worimi and Yuin woman who has embraced her

culture through her creativity in fashion and design.

“At the age of 14 she designed her own Indigenous sleepwear range, Dream Time, and in February 2022 was invited to the New York fashion show to both model and present her unique Aboriginal fashion line,” it said.

“Trinity has since been invited to Miami, New York, and Paris to present her sleepwear and new activewear range, Deadly Active.

“Her designs have been worn

by Acorda, displayed on billboards in New York and feature in Getty Images.

“Trinity has also been invited to the Sydney Multicultural Fashion show to receive an

award for her work as an Aboriginal designer.

“Both her sleepwear and activewear designs express her unique creativity combined with her passion for her culture and raising awareness of First Nations Peoples at local, national, and international levels.

“Trinity is an outstanding role model to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students at Tumbi Umbi Campus.”

Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell said the Nanga Mai Awards celebrate schools that have established a culture of respect, caring and inclusive teaching practices which recognise, value and meet the diverse needs of Aboriginal students.

“Nanga Mai is an Eora word for ‘to dream’ and these awards embrace the diversity of all the schools and supporters who champion our students so they can follow their dreams,” Mitchell said.

“We are also honouring the Elders and Aboriginal school staff and community members who bring language, culture and wisdom into our schools.”

New UV indicator at Killarney Vale Preschool Killarney Vale Preschool is doing its bit to educate the community on sun protection, with the installation of a large UV indicator.

“We have been teaching children about sun safety and how to read the UV ratings and implement sun protection based on these numbers,” a spokesperson said.

“Over the last few years, the educators have been wanting to share this knowledge with our families and the broader community, to have an impact on reducing the amount of skin cancer in NSW. “Educators researched and explored ways to embed this thinking and knowledge into our everyday practice and came across a large display UV

The preschool’s new UV indicator

indicator online that was being used in WA and promoted by Sunsmart and the Cancer Council.

“After exploring the possibilities with WA Sunsmart, the preschool consulted with the children and committee on

the installation of this display.

“Due to the location of the preschool near a sporting oval and next door to the Guides and

Scout halls, the decision was made to locate it out the front of the preschool where children can see it through the windows at any time of the day and the community can access it while driving or walking past.

“The children will be able to check the UV rating throughout the day and be able to make decisions about sun protection based on what they can see.”

The preschool applied for and was successful in obtaining some funding through the AGECS 100 Years of Excellence mini Grant to assist with the cost of the UV indicator.

“This grant gave us the opportunity to be the first on the Central Coast to install this technology and educate our community on sun safety,” the spokesperson said.

The UV indicator is solar

powered and will display the current UV index in real time.

It is intended to encourage safe practice by people observing the meter and promote the development of habits to reduce the risks from exposure to environmental UV. The preschool will also participate in a broader national campaign.

The UV meter will provide a geographic location reporting back to the myUVwebsite.

This is an important education component of the ongoing campaign by Cancer Councils to increase awareness of naturally occurring UV throughout the Australian population.

Funding boost for two schools in Dobell Gorokan Public School and Porters Creek Public School are set to share $50,000 in funding as part of the Federal Government’s $270M School Upgrade Fund.

Member for Dobell Emma McBride, Gorokan PS Principal Jesmond Zammit and MnisterTanya Plibersek

Gorokan PS will receive $30,000 for outdoor areas and Porters Creek PS will receive $20,000 for outdoor learning, including a new sandpit.

Member for Dobell Emma McBride said funding for the pre-election commitments had now been confirmed and will be provided in the coming

weeks.

McBride visited both schools recently to confirm the funding, accompanied by Environment and Water Minister Tanya Plibersek, who made joined McBride in making the original pre-election pledge as Shadow Minister for Education earlier this year.

“This is welcome news for local schools because it means students will have new playgrounds for outdoor learning and play,” McBride said.

“The past few years have been tough for students,

teachers and school communities and this funding will help them bounce back from the challenges they’ve faced.”

The Government’s $270M School Upgrade Fund is designed to boost school infrastructure and help students bounce back from the pandemic.

McBride is also encouraging local schools to apply for funding for projects under the open grant round.

“The open grant round is worth $32M and will be invested in equipment like new

laptops and iPads, classroom upgrades and outdoor learning areas,” she said.

“I want local schools in Dobell to get their fair share, so I’m encouraging them to apply.”

Funding will go to schools most in need for small-scale projects worth up to $25,000 which create healthier and safer learning environments and help students get back on track after disruptions caused by the pandemic.

New care navigation service for Coast veterans The Hunter New England Central Coast Primary Health Network (PHN) has announced the launch of a care navigation service with the objective of reducing mental health disorders and suicide among veterans and their families due to the timely receipt of appropriate healthcare.

The service also aims to improve the health literacy of clients.

The service will be provided

by Social Futures under the title Veterans Connect.

Social Futures CEO Tony Davies said care navigation is not care coordination or clinical care but rather a new approach designed to walk alongside the consumer to identify services

in a supported and timely manner.

“The Veterans Connect service will have a strong emphasis on mental health support to ensure the safety and wellbeing of veterans and their families,” he said.

The Central Coast Local Government Area has been selected for the program launch, due to the high

population of veterans from the Australian Defence Force (4,800), who require greater health and welfare support in comparison to the rest of the population.

The PHN Chief Executive Officer Richard Nankervis said that due to the complex support that veterans require, there is a high need for service navigation.

“Data shows us that veterans and their families are more vulnerable to mental health disorders resulting in a higher need for assistance with understanding and accessing appropriate health services.”

“Our aim is to see a reduction in the rate of mental health disorders and suicide in the Central Coast region and expand the service to the Hunter and New England regions within our Primary Health Network.”

Veterans Connect is based on a model of care implemented by the PHN since 2020.

The Refugee Care Navigation program located in Armidale

The service will be operational early next year

has successfully assisted hundreds of Ezidi refugees to navigate the system to ensure their health needs are addressed promptly.

The PHN is anticipating a similar level of success with the Veterans Care Navigation service.

The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide is currently underway, with the final report due in mid-2023.

The PHN has led and prepared a detailed submission, which includes a literature review and extensive consultations across

the PHN network, primary care sector as well as with veterans and their families who reside in the PHN region.

It is expected that the Royal Commission’s final report will be released mid-2023 and funding for programs recommended following the report will be available early 2024.

The Veterans Connect will be operational from early 2023.

Fitting recognition for 30 years as Wyong greenkeeper

Surrounded by fellow Wyong bowlers Pat McNeil and Sue Robb (from left), Kim Smith and Mitch Williams

LAWN BOWLS Kim Smith has put his heart and soul into being greenkeeper at Wyong Bowling Club for the past 30 years and respect for him has resulted in a green named in his honour – The Kim Smith Green.

A crowd of bowlers gathered for a special dedication ceremony to show their

appreciation and to pay tribute to the man who kept the greens in tip-top condition all those years.

Kim is considered a legend among his peers and the broader bowling community, as well as an invaluable team member of the Wyong Leagues Group of which the bowling club is a member.

After the Bowls Committee brought the idea of a dedication

to the Group, it was unanimously agreed that as Kim had put so much of himself into the greens at Wyong Bowling Club, it was only appropriate that his name should adorn one of them permanently.

“Kim has a wonderful relationship with the bowlers, which isn’t always the case with greenkeepers,” said Mitch Williams, the Group’s Sports and Development Coordinator.

“This relationship was based on a mutual respect between the two parties, it is easy to see Kim’s passion for greens and mentoring staff.

“The Wyong Leagues Group has been extremely lucky to have such a dedicated and committed worker like Kim to look after our greens and mentor many staff.

“Kim’s caring nature, work ethic and knowledge of the

industry ensured the Group’s greens were of the highest quality,” Williams said.

When Kim was in a meeting with people, all parties always walked out happy with the outcome, no matter the topic, says Corey Garratley, Wyong Leagues Group’s Executive Manager Property, Safety and Sport.

“His calm and caring nature and his intent to listen to all

parties really shows,” he said.

“Over the years, I took a lot from watching how Kim dealt with things and it has made me a better and more understanding person and a better manager of people.

“Kim never wanted for much, if his staff were looked after, and he was allowed to produce quality greens he was happy.”

For the ‘Houseplants are Everything’ Gardener Houseplant people cannot get enough pots.

Just make sure they have drainage holes.

Encourage your indoor plant guru to start propagation of their prized treasures with a propagation kit or how-to book.

For the ‘I’m Saving the Planet’ Gardener Bug hotels are readily available from most garden centres and you might like to create your own for your nature-passionate friend.

Instructions can easiest be found online or perhaps a paper pot making kit.

These consist of two wooden parts that help twist newspapers into a small pot.

For the ‘I Kill Everything but I Want a Garden’ Gardener An indoor smart garden.

These can be found in lots of sizes and includes a light and if you a gardening guru then why not gift them your time.

Make up a gift certificate for one-on-one gardening lessons from you. An alternative is a gardening class.

For the ‘Art and Craft is Life’ Gardener How about a set of metal alphabet stamps to create their own garden label stakes.

They can be found in hardware and craft stores or make up a gift basket with a plain terracotta pot and a selection of suitable art materials such as weather-proof paints or markers.

a kitchen bench composter.

If they don’t garden yet, then a starter herb garden kit would be very much appreciated.

For the ‘Mystical and Meditative’ Gardener A sundial would be a brilliant gift and can be found in all sorts of sizes or maybe a Zen Garden.

Those Japanese-inspired trays filled with sand, stones and a rake can be easily purchased or even created.

like to check out these new titles: Futureproof Your Garden: Environmentally sustainable ways to grow more with less, Angus Stewart and Emma Stewart (Author).

For the ‘I’m not sure why I’m not on Gardening Australia yet’ Gardener For the gardening obsessed nothing beats good quality hand creams that work!

My favourites include Aveeno Intensive Relief Hand Cream, L’Occitane Intensive Hand Balm and The Body Shop Hemp Hand Cream or how about a divine new apron or a pair of top of the range secateurs (if they don’t already have them).

For the ‘I may be young, but I can do it’ Gardener Dress up is loved by most children so a gardening apron and gloves are not only essential to protect the little ones, they will also bring a sense of play time and excitement to gardening or pets!

The best gardening pets are worms and if you gift a child their own worm farm, they will love you forever and so will their garden.

A few other ideas to suit everyone: A wishing well, seed raising kit, heirloom seeds, a flower press, beekeeping course, bees, native edible food plant, a bird bath, a bird window feeder, a compost bin, a garden gnome, garden sculpture or art, personalised signage, kneeling pad, seed storage tin, boot scrapers, gardening boots/shoes, houseplant display stand, mushroom growing kit, birdbath, watering globes for houseplants, tool basket or trug, seed bombs or cannons and if you really can’t decide then nothing say ‘I love you and know you love gardening’ like a gift card from one of your local gardening centres.

Gardening Books Check in to see what your gardening friend already has as really, most gardeners do love collecting gardening books but for the plant people looking for hints for gift givers, you might

An essential guide to designing a sustainable garden in Australia in any sized space.

I’m a huge fan of this new anthology by the Country Women’s Association of Victoria, Thrifty Gardening: Money-saving tips and know-how for a flourishing garden. Filled with lots a sage wisdom, recipes and fun projects.

Next in this popular Yates series is Yates Top 50 Fragrant Plants and How Not to Kill Them! This is a handy reference with good advice and information, maybe more suited to beginners, but inspirational for all.

For lovers of the ABC TV series of the same name, Michael McCoy’s Dream Gardens is a stunning pictorial as well as a design guide to the gardens featured.

Because I’m sure there are other Botanical History lovers like myself out there, this is my pick for summer holiday reading as well as Christmas gift giving, (yes that’s a hint).

“Emily has had a super season with the Gosford Little Athletics Club her first year.

A victorious Talia Tebb

Talia Tebb in action

SURFING Rising star Talia Tebb of Avoca Beach has taken out the Under 12 Female division in Round 9 of the 2022 Woolworths Surfer Groms series.

Regarded as one of the major stepping-stones in the development of young Australian surfers, the 10-event series caters for surfers from Under 8 to Under 14, with events held in NSW, Queensland, Victoria, Western

Australia, Tasmania and South Australia and the final round to take place in Queensland on December 10-11.

The competition had a sea change to Elouera Beach at Cronulla on the weekend for Round 9, where the junior

surfers were greeted with favourable conditions.

In the Under 12 Female semifinal, Tebb claimed one of the highest scored waves of the event with an 8.17/10, impressing the judges with her electric back hand performance.

She advanced to the final and snatched up her second win of the series in the Under 12 division.

Olive Morriss of Avoca Beach came second in the event.

Tebb was pipped at the post

in the Under 14 Females by Poppy O’Reilly of Bondi to take second place.

Matt Graham took bronze at the opening event

SKIING Central Coast skier Matt Graham has taken a bronze medal in the opening event of the mogul skiing World Cup season in Ruka, Finland.

In the men’s event, the 2018 Olympic silver medallist

bounced back strongly from his injury interrupted Olympic season, to record the 19th podium of his World Cup career Joining Graham in finals were teammates Cooper Woods in 10th place, and rookie NSW Institute of Sport skier Jackson Harvey making finals in a very strong World Cup debut in 14th.

Graham score 80.12 points, to come in behind Canadian Mikael Kingsbury on 84.5 and Japan’s Ikuma Horishima on 80.48.

“I was over the moon to be back here skiing Ruka and competing again so to come away with third place is kind of nice,” Graham said.

“It’s been a long 12 months for me, getting injured before the Olympics, and then not having the best Olympic experience.

“During the off season (I spent) a lot of time rehabbing my collarbone which I broke last year, and not able to train as much as I would normally,

so it’s nice to come here and know that I have still got it.”

In another win for Australia, 2022 Olympic Gold Medallist Jakara Anthony from Victoria took gold in the women’s super final to claim the fifth World Cup victory of her career.

The mogul skiing athletes will

now head to the Swedish resort of Idre Fjäll for a double event next weekend on December 10-11.
