ePetition calling for early council elections lodged in Parliament An ePetition calling for the next election date for Central Coast Council to be brought forward has been presented in the Legislative Assembly by Member for The Entrance David Mehan.

The petition, which closed on December 19, was organised by local resident Gregory Knott, who says the proposed election date of September 14, 2024, is too far away.

Bearing 752 signatures, the petition calls for a review of the planned date.

“The Central Coast Council has been without leadership

since it went into administration in October 2020,” it says.

“Recently it was announced that elections would be held in line with the next round of local council elections on 14th September 2024.

“This will leave Central Coast residents without a voice for almost four years and no local democracy.

“Currently Central Coast residents have no input into local issues.

“The Central Coast is in a state of disrepair with dangerous potholes on major roads, local parks overgrown, vandalised and some closed for

Gregory Knott (left) and David Mehan outside Council Chambers in Wyong

extended periods.”

Mehan, who expressed support for the petition when it

was launched earlier this year, said the numbers of signatories suggests there is “no strong

community view that a return to democracy, of itself, will fix the dissatisfaction people have with Council’s performance”.

Mehan compared the numbers to the strong response received by the petition for an investigation into Council’s the financial collapse.

“I expect people feel they will be able to pass judgement on the architect of our Council problem, the State Government, which forced the amalgamation on councils across the state, at next year’s state election,” he said.

The word had gone out on the bush telegraph that Santa was going to pop into Copacabana on December 17 and the children were excited.

The elves from the Navy Veterans’ Welfare Association of NSW had been active building a sleigh and taming the reindeer since September but the wind and rain were threatening to spoil everything.

But around 11.15am the sky turned blue, the wind abated, and Santa began his sleigh ride down from Vista Ave. Children ran from their houses to send Santa on his way.

At the Flag Pole Lawn he was greeted by many happy people ranging from grandparents to grandchildren.

Many goodies were dispensed before Santa made his merry

Santa rode his sleigh through the streets of Copacabana to the beachfront

way to the local shops on the beach front.

Every business in the shopping row was greeted by the big man in red, who passed out gifts for the owners and their staffs, along with the many children who gathered outside the shopfronts and

restaurants.

Santa began his journey with a bag containing 300 bags of lollies and wrapped gifts, courtesy of the Navy Veterans’ Welfare Association NSW based in Copacabana.

By the time he had completed

his visit to several older citizens his bag was empty and he headed back to the North Pole.

It was Santa’s 15th annual visit to the seaside village.

Christmas with Chef Daniel and Kyla the cake queen With the Christmas season upon us Central Coast based celebrity Chef Daniel has teamed up with Cakes

by Kyla to celebrate with a delicious short video to wrap up 2022.

CCN has also teamed up with the energetic chef to bring the love of food, family and friendship to our readers and viewers over the summer.

In the week before Christmas Daniel invited the local Cake Queen Kyla Daniels to his kitchen studio in Gosford to whip up a Aussie favorite desert.

Daniel’s Christmas guest was the wonderful Kyla Daniels from ‘Cakes by Kyla’ helping Chef Daniel with a Christmas special on ‘How to make a pavlova wreath or grazing board.’

“Chef Daniel is such an engaging and knowledgeable

chef with a mountain of knowledge about cooking traditions and customs, so I jumped at the opportunity” Kyla said.

Chef Daniel says, “When I talk about food, I always get so passionate because every day I see how good food brings people together.”

“I wanted to start his upcoming food series with an Aussie Christmas favourite – the pavlova”.

Now with the new video instruction, instead of just

buying one from the supermarket and putting your own fruit on it, he’s encouraging readers and viewers to make it from scratch.

Kyla started out making specialised cupcakes in her home kitchen for her children who had dietary needs and then for friends and family. The orders started piling up, so she started her own business, since then she’s never looked back and makes over 4,000 cupcakes a week. She’s won many state and national baking

awards for her eleborate and tasty constructions.

Chef Daniel has had restaurants and catering companies over his 20+ years in the industry as seen on TV, cruise ships and his podcast.

He has a passion for community engagement and growth and runs programs for youth, the Dept of Education and more.

His new online series called, ‘Pinch of salt’ invites local celebrities and special guests to cook with him either something they have always wanted to know how to cook or something that has been in their family for generations.

Boost for Mangrove Mountain cultural tourism precinct Mangrove Mountain Cultural Tourism Park is set to receive a $650,000 boost thanks to Round Two of the NSW Government’s Regional Tourism Activation Fund.

Darkinjung Local Aboriginal Land Council (DLALC) Chairperson, Barry ‘BJ’ Duncan, said the investment will help build a cultural tourism precinct where the Aboriginal community can share its creation and dreaming stories and cultural practices.

“Darkinjung is proud to lead the development of a cultural park that will help people experience these things, here on the doorstep of Sydney rather than feeling like they have to travel to the Northern Territory to experience Aboriginal culture,” Duncan said.

DLALC Chief Executive Officer Brendan Moyle said many people don’t know the creation story of Biayami which is shared amongst many Aboriginal nations across NSW and began at Mount Yengo at the back of the Central Coast.

“This park will be something unique where domestic and international visitors can come and have cultural experiences, staying overnight in camping or

The funding will allow for a major expansion of the precinct

glamping which many people currently feel that they have to travel interstate for,” Moyle said.

He said the investment will see an increase in the number camping facilities at the location, with flushing toilets, campfire grounds, central undercover kitchen and eating area and showers installed for people staying at the site to use.

“Funding will also be used to establish concrete paths and ramps allowing those with mobility issues to explore and

experience the park and sites,” he said.

“Darkinjung will be using this to attract tourists with a range of offerings, from camping in swags to high-end glamping and cultural tours for day visitors.

“This will provide significant visitor experiences drawing people to the Central Coast, while also providing Aboriginal employment and business outcomes.

“These opportunities are critically important for the

Central Coast noting that more than 17,000 people identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander which is the fastest growing Aboriginal community in Australia.

“Creating real jobs and business opportunities is important for the Aboriginal and broader community and helping protect and promote culture provides a perfect platform for real and genuine reconciliation across the region.”

Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast Adam Crouch

said it was a pleasure to be able to provide the funds required to help get the project off the ground.

“This won’t only support our region by increasing visitation, this will support local economies and local jobs as more people spend at cafes, restaurants, hotels, motels, and local shops,” he said.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing the project come to fruition and realise the positive outcomes (it) will contribute to regional NSW.”

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the Regional Tourism Activation Fund supports local economies and local jobs by backing unique tourism experiences that will attract visitors and showcase what regional NSW has to offer.

“We know regional NSW has Australia’s best tourist destinations and experiences,” he said.

“We want to amplify that by helping create new experiences and drawcards that put more heads on beds and attract more tourism dollars into regional communities.

“The projects backed through the $150 million Round Two of the Regional Tourism Activation Fund will give domestic and international visitors even more great reasons to experience the best regional NSW has to offer.”

Round Two focuses on accelerating the development of high impact tourism and events infrastructure that will increase the international appeal of destinations in regional NSW and boost the visitor economy through increased visitation and job creation.

Delta purchase strengthens Sev.en’s growth in Australia The acquisition of Delta Electricity Pty Ltd by Czech company Sev.en Global Investments is now complete.

Delta Electricity is the parent company of Vales Point Power Station, Chain Valley and Mannering collieries, all on the southern shores of Lake Macquarie at Mannering Park.

Sev.en’s Chief Executive, Alan Svoboda said Delta was an important part of the company’s growth plans in Australia.

“The positive work culture and quality of the assets aligns with our investment objectives of adding further generation capacity to our Australian portfolio,” he said.

“In doing so, Sev.en is also uniquely positioned to maximise the benefit to local communities as a dedicated long-term investor and operator.

“We are committed to support the energy transition by providing reliable power supply and back-up capacity as needed,” Svoboda said.

Vales Point Power Station now owned by a Czech company

He said the 100 percent equity acquisition of Delta was completed on December 15, following all conditions precedent being met, including the granting of the necessary state and federal government approvals.

“Sev.en is excited to welcome all the Delta employees into the Sev.en family group.

“With an international portfolio of vertically integrated power generation plants, Delta strengthens Sev.en’s position in Australia.

“Delta is a significant contributor to the energy stability in NSW and Sev.en looks forward to bringing value to local communities through our global experience and as a responsible long-term operator

with assets in Europe, the UK, the USA and in Australia,” Svoboda said.

Apart from Delta, Sev.en’s Australian investments also include 100 percent of the Salt Lake Potash project in Western Australia and 50 percent interest in InterGen N.V. via its interests in the Millmerran and Callide power stations in Queensland.

Svoboda said Sev.en was actively pursuing further opportunities to grow and expand in the region and across a range of commodities.

Sev.en is a private investment group from the Czech Republic that deploys long-term capital in growth, restructuring and special situations worldwide, primarily in the energy, mining and adjacent sectors.

The company website says Sev.en invests in transition towards a more sustainable future with zero carbon emissions in the long term, while striving for growth and prosperity.

The ageing Vales Point Power Station built in 1978 is scheduled to close in 2029.

In February this year Delta said it had completed preliminary investigations about what work was required to extend the life of the plant beyond 2029 and was committed to a transition to a renewable future.

The State Government is now considering a proposal to mine an additional 9.5 million tonnes of coal from Chain Valley Colliery and Mannering Colliery by prolonging their operations by two years until 2029.

The two underground coal mines in the southern waters of Lake Macquarie supply coal to Vales Point Power Station at Mannering Park.

Sea change for sick turtle found at Terrigal An endangered green turtle found weak and injured at Terrigal in August has been rehabilitated and released into Sydney Harbour.

Terry the turtle has been fitted with a high-tech satellite tracker in a bid to understand the movements and behaviours of juvenile turtles.

He is estimated to be 15 years old, which is a relatively young age for a species that can live for up to a century.

Minister for Environment James Griffin said Terry was taken to the Taronga Wildlife Hospital after being found at Terrigal.

“Terry came into Taronga’s care in a bad way, unable to move his head, with a shell covered in skin lesions, and a tummy full of plastic and fishing line,” Griffin said.

“After four months of rehabilitation at Taronga’s Wildlife Hospital in Sydney, he was well enough for release back into the wild outside Sydney heads.

“This is significant not only because we are returning an endangered species back to its native habitat, but because Terry’s satellite tracker will help us unlock vital information about his species so we can better understand how marine turtles are using waters around NSW and beyond.

“Taronga Wildlife Hospital treats an average of 40 marine turtles every year and Terry is one of the great success stories, contributing valuable knowledge by helping us identify and protect crucial habitat for young turtles.”

Marine turtles play an

important role in the environment, from maintaining productive reef ecosystems to transporting essential nutrients throughout the huge areas that they move through in their lifetime.

They are endangered in NSW,

facing threats such as boat strikes, entanglement, or ingestion of plastic and marine debris.

With less than one in 1,000 green turtles estimated to survive through to adulthood, each and every turtle

rehabilitated and released through Taronga’s Wildlife Hospital is critical for survival of the species.

Terry is the 37th turtle to be released as part of Taronga Conservation Society Australia’s Turtle Tracking Program, but he’s one of just a few juvenile turtles.

Taronga Wildlife Hospital Rehabilitation Manager Libby Hall said while lots is known about adult turtles, it’s rare to be able to track and learn about turtles like Terry that are in their juvenile or ‘lost’ years.

“We know mature green turtles typically come ashore to nest between November to March in more than 80 countries, but it’s important we focus on trying to understand their movements prior to reaching this age,” Hall said.

“The data we receive from our tracking program tells us firstly if the turtle survives post release, and also where they’re spending time, feeding, and resting.

“We can also determine the diet of the turtles prior to their stranding.

This helps us map critical habitat for marine turtles, and we’re learning that immature turtles are spending a lot of time feeding on algae and seaweed in estuaries, lakes and rivers.”

Only “cursory review” of coal mining risks says expert A geotechnical engineer and mining expert says Delta Coal’s proposal to prolong the operations at its Lake Macquarie mines has failed to provide the community with a true picture of the risks it poses to the environment.

Delta Coal proposes to dig up an additional 9.5 million tonnes of coal from Chain Valley Colliery and Mannering Colliery by prolonging their operations by two years, until 2029.

The two underground mines in southern Lake Macquarie waters supply coal to Vales Point Power Station at Mannering Park which is scheduled to close in 2029.

Environmental Justice Australia (EJA) says this proposal could impact water quality and aquatic ecosystems and seriously harm community health.

Acting on community concerns over the project, EJA commissioned Canadianbased geotechnical engineer Gordon Johnson as an independent expert to review Delta’s environmental impact statement (EIS) for the proposal.

Johnson, who has more than 35 years of experience in the industry, found Delta had provided a “cursory review” of

the proposal and that it failed to adequately address the impacts the proposal would have on water, threatened species and land sinking.

“The EIS does not adequately assess the impacts of the proposal on local biodiversity, particularly the potential impacts on the ecology of Swindles Creek,” he said.

“Potential impacts from mine wastewater being discharged into Swindles Creek, which runs into Lake Macquarie, is not examined by the EIS. “Likely impacts of land sinking, due to underground mining, have not been adequately addressed in the EIS. “Groundwater assessment is cursory and not based on any rigorous analysis, instead relying on historical data trends – which is insufficient for a thorough assessment.

“The EIS does not properly address the cumulative impacts of mining in an area that has experienced an intense level of mining,” Johnson said.

EJA lawyer Jocelyn McGarity said Johnson’s report made one thing clear – Delta Coal’s proposal should be put under the microscope and receive proper government and community scrutiny.

Mannering Colliery with Vales Point power station in background

She said the matter should be referred to the Independent Planning Commission for more rigorous assessment and community participation.

Hunter Community Environment Centre Senior Researcher Paul Winn said the cumulative impacts on sensitive seagrass beds in Lake Macquarie from previous mine subsidence, as well as thermal impacts from the Vales Point power station had not

been considered in the project assessment.

“Lake Macquarie is the lifeblood of our community, and we must look after it,” said Bruce Macfarlane, a member of the Keep Lake Macquarie Clean group.

“In just the past few months alone we’ve seen fish kills which are still under investigation by the EPA as well as documented reductions in sea grass beds.

“Delta coal needs to do its homework and the proposal must be properly assessed by the government for its risks,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Environment Protection Authority says the investigation into the two mass fill kills in and around Wyee Bay at Mannering Park in August and September is still ongoing.

In September the EPA started an investigation into a link between the fish kills and

operations at Vales Point Power Station.

An EPA spokesperson said the power station had provided new information relating to the recent fish kills.

The EPA inspected the power station on September 13 and secured on-site equipment for testing and requested a further report from Delta.

“The EPA is treating this as a top priority and is using all available resources, including assigning specialist investigators to the issue,” the spokesperson said in September.

When Coast News followedup progress on the investigation on Tuesday, December 20, the EPA said “the community will be updated when more information is available”.

“The EPA understands the community is concerned about the mass fish kills in Wyee Bay, Lake Macquarie and is undertaking a thorough investigation,” an EPA spokesperson said this week.

“To maintain the integrity of this ongoing investigation the EPA is not able to provide any further comment at this time, however, information including real-time water quality data is available on our website.”

Lucky coincidence saved 20 at Wamberal beach A Year 6 end of school celebration almost ended in tragedy when a large group of children and parents were caught in a strong rip at Wamberal beach and unable to make it back to shore.

Luckily a Bronze Medallion class for trainee lifesavers was being held at the surf club that night, December 14, when one of the frantic parents raced in at about 8.15pm to raise the alarm.

The whole incident was an amazing series of happy coincidences said Craig Adams, who is the surf club’s director of lifesaving and education.

“The kids were having their Year 6 formal upstairs in the clubhouse, and I suppose that in their excitement they decided to jump into the water, fully clothed, which made it difficult to swim,” he said.

“We were doing our Bronze theory exams when a Mum raced in to raise the alarm that the kids were in trouble.

“I was a little bit incredulous because it’s not usual for

Rescue team – (from left) Craig Adams, Jane Brennan, Michael McPherson, Lee Szlachetka, Andrew Oakley and Ramzy Fawzy and Jane’s daughter Pearl (front)

people to be swimming at 8.30,” he said.

The four trainee lifesavers sprang into action, grabbing boards and racing into the water while Adams ran to the lookout to survey the situation.

“I just couldn’t believe it, I was quite shocked to see all these heads bobbing in the water, and they’d drifted quite a way out,” Adams said.

Sixteen children and four adults were saved from drowning that night.

“It was probably a text book case of what can go wrong when people think an area of the surf looks like a calm spot but that’s where the rip is – it’s much safer in the waves because that’s where the sandbank is,” Adams said.

“We went straight to the woman who was in most

distress, she was in a lot of trouble and drowning, and we had about six or seven kids screaming and crying, clinging to each of the boards.

“It was almost impossible to paddle with all those kids on the board but eventually we manoeuvred to the side of the rip and with the help of the waves came on to a sandbank where we were able to stand up and then get the kids ashore.

“They were so distressed and so panicked that most of them wouldn’t let go of the boards, they were so scared and just froze, even when they could stand up in the water.

“It was freezing cold and once they were all ashore it was hot showers and blankets, lots of people in shock and some of them on oxygen until the Ambulance paramedics arrived,” Adams said.

In another stroke of luck, one of the state’s most highly skilled first aid teachers, Ramzy Fawzy, was there too, to conduct assessments of the trainee lifesavers.

The rescuers were Michael McPherson, Lee Szlachetka, Andrew Oakley, Jane Brennan along with their instructors Craig Adams and Ramzy Fawzy.

“It was just incredible luck we were all there and without being overly dramatic, if we weren’t there it would have been a very different headline,” Adams said.

“I just want to say how proud I am of how the lifesavers performed given what they were faced with – they acted like true professionals, like seasoned veterans.

“It was quite a chaotic scene, and I am very impressed with my Bronze squad,” Adams said.

It probably goes without saying, they have ticked off the board rescue part of their Bronze Medallion training.

to be part of all of the 22 services the Sub Branch conducts at schools and aged care Facilities in the area, he also organises the kids’ flag parties and places poppies at the plaques of the interred ashes of our 428 deceased veterans in our cenotaph.”

Wilson said Hobbs also finds time to fundraise for the oncology department of the Westmead Children’s Hospital, raising more than $100,000 by bike rides and running marathons including the Sydney to Surf.

“Thomas also has found time to be an active member of the Lions Club Toukley for the past seven years and was duly awarded the Lion of the year in 2017 – another true indication

of his dedication to serving members of the community,” he said.

“As our Flag Marshall on ANZAC Day this year, he asked me who would be leading the march and carry the Australian flag, saying he believed the person should be a returned veteran.

“I told him that this year he would be leading the march.

“I have never seen a prouder person at 84 years of age, stepping out in the Sub Branch uniform, chest out proudly wearing the RSL emblem on his chest for everyone to see.

“Thomas is a true legend.”

Kanwal petrol station fined over land contamination A Kanwal petrol station and a company Director of Zoya Investments Pty Ltd have been fined over land contamination offences.

Zoya Investments was convicted and fined $320,000 in the Land and Environment Court for failing to comply with a Contaminated Land Management Order issued by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) in relation to the petrol station at 68 Craigie Ave, Kanwal.

The company plead guilty to the offence, which occurred when it failed to undertake rectification works on its underground petrol storage system and provide a report to the EPA detailing those works.

EPA Executive Director, Steve Beaman, said the site had been

The Kanwal petrol station fined by the EPA

declared significantly contaminated following an assessment by the EPA in 2018.

“The EPA found the soil and groundwater beneath the site was contaminated by petrol and had potential to impact

human health and the surrounding environment.

“We have a high standard for

protecting local communities and by not rectifying the identified problems, Zoya Investments has fallen short of this standard,” Beaman said.

The Court found that Zoya Investments had breached the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997and issued a fine of $180,000 and a further penalty of $140,000 for the time it took for Zoya Investments to ultimately comply with the Management Order.

Beaman said the severity of the fine, particularly the additional cost for not complying with the Management Order for about a year, served as a strong deterrent to other operators.

“The EPA expects timely responses to environmental issues and the punishments

are severe when companies ignore orders and continue to put the environment and human health at risk,” he said.

“The rectification works at the site have now concluded and a report has been provided to the EPA.” The Court also ordered Zoya Investments to publish notice of the offence in two publications with the Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association (ACAPMA), and to pay the EPA’s legal costs.

Zoya Investments’ Director, Rizwan Rana, was separately convicted and fined last month for failing to comply with an EPA investigation notice.

$47M backlog in road maintenance funding There is a $46.8M backlog of funding needed to maintain Central Coast roads, according to statistics revealed this week by the NRMA. The figures, for 2020-2021, reveal a $1.9B backlog statewide in funding needed by council to maintain roads to a safe standard.

The NRMA says the figures are expected to blow out even further this year due to flooding.

“Early indications suggest the 2022 figure will dwarf the $1.9B total as councils begin to report the extent of damage caused by the heavy flooding over the last 12 months,” spokesperson Peter Khoury said.

“The regional backlog in 2020/21 was $1.5B. “Worryingly, the 2021/22 backlog is already at $1.1B

with only 60 per cent% of regional councils reporting thus far.”

Khoury said the NRMA had an “almighty job” on its hands over the next year fighting to get the funding councils need to fix a “flood ravaged, potholed littered road network”.

“That’s why we want the community to tell us where the worst roads are through our Rate Your Road survey,” he said.

“Having your say in our survey can make a huge difference – the 2019 survey received a record number of votes and that data helped the NRMA secure record road funding from the NSW and Australian Governments to support local councils.”

The NRMA’s Fix Our Broken Roads report calls for more funding to support councils through a streamlined process,

There is a $46.8M backlog of funding needed to maintain Central Coast roads

Residents of NSW and the ACT can take part in the Rate Your Road survey by visiting www.rateyourroad.com.au.

The results will be released prior to the March 2023 NSW Election.

Central Coast Council CEO David Farmer said what was

needed from government was not a “sugar fix” for one year but a sustained program of investment.

Farmer said Council’s immediate focus was on heavily used and high speed roads but the basic problem region-wide was that the

underlying standard of infrastructure is poor.

He said not only did roads need repair, but drainage needed to be addressed to keep the water off them.

“Heavy patching to deal with the worst areas will last several years but the real answer is significant road reconstruction,” he said.

Farmer said an“extraordinarily wet year” had exacerbated the region’s road problems.

“We have to rebuild our roads to higher standards and maintain them and that will take years,” he said.

“There is a long way to go to get to where the community would like us to be but we will get there.”

Freemasons and Bulldogs raise $22,000 for kids in need Freemasons on the Central Coast and the Central Coast Bulldogs joined forces in November to raise funds for Central Coast Kids in Need at their Charity Race Day at Wyong Race Club.

The event had been planned earlier in the year, but weather events led to it being postponed on two occasions.

The race day was an enormous success with more than 200 people buying tickets for a marquee event.

With the sale of tickets, raffles and various donated auction items the event raised over $22,000 which was presented to Lorraine Churchill and Rhonda Doyle at the Budgewoi

The Central Coast Bulldogs Masters team

Soccer Club on November 19.

The event was so successful that another charity race day has already been planned for November 2023.

The Central Coast Bulldogs (Masters Team) have supported Central Coast Kids in Need for the past 14 years and during this period have raised more

than $22,000 which has been used to support the families of sick children from the Central Coast undergoing medical treatment and requiring care

where Government assistance does not apply.

Freemasons on the Central Coast also supports CCKIN and sponsors the Central Coast Bulldogs.

That connection commenced in 2016 when the Bulldogs needed help in buying their football shirts.

The Bulldogs are part of a Sydney-wide competition with players ranging from their midthirties to their oldest active player who is 83 years.

The team regularly travels from its home ground at Vales Point to all points south and west to participate in the master competition.

A large proportion of their

time is spent raising money for the community and joint ventures with Freemasons over the years have raised money for breast cancer research, the Shoebox Revolution, The Entrance Neighbourhood Centre and most notably, Central Coast Kids In Need.

Freemasons recently presented a cheque for $5,000 to the Bulldogs to help with the purchase of uniforms and training equipment in recognition of their sportsmanship and their significant contribution to the Central Coast community.

Man charged over fatal Woy Woy stabbing A man has been charged with murder following an investigation into an alleged fatal stabbing at Woy Woy last week.

At about 6.15pm on Saturday, December 17, emergency services were called to Macarthur St, where they found a 41-year-old man unconscious in the street with multiple stab wounds.

Officers from Brisbane Water Police District commenced CPR until the arrival of NSWAmbulance paramedics; however, the man died at the scene.

He has since been formally identified as Nathan Strudwick.

Police established crime scenes at multiple locations, including on nearby Railway St, where it’s believed the stabbing took place and detectives commenced an investigation into the incident under Strike Force Ambyne.

Following inquiries, officers from Cumberland Police Area Command attended a hotel in Toongabbie about 3.30am on Wednesday, December 21 and

commenced a search of the area.

A short time later officers located and arrested a 46-yearold man in Aurelia St. He was taken to Blacktown Hospital, before being taken to Granville Police Station where he was charged with murder and aggravated robbery and inflicting actual bodily harm.

The man was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Thursday, December 22.

Warnervale gas leak a false alarm About 90 workers were evacuated from the Woolworths Distribution Centre at Warnervale last week when the alarm was raised over a gas leak.

Multiple emergency services crews raced to the centre at about 10.30pm on Wednesday, December 14 when the alarm activated indicating an ammonia leak.

Anhydrous ammonia is a colourless gas that has a strong smell and is toxic, corrosive and flammable and serves as an industrial refrigerant gas.

Crews spent the next several hours locating the source of the leak and with the assistance of

a technician from Sydney, the problem was located in a chilling room.

A spokesperson for Woolworths said the alarm was activated in error due to a faulty sensor and that there were no system leaks detected.

Rural Fire Services from Hamlyn Terrace and Berkeley Vale, along with the Duty Commander Central Coast, Police and Ambulance crews remained on scene until the site was declared safe for workers to return.

Stick to renewables Not only has your correspondent failed to grasp the point of Donald Horne’s classic book The Lucky Country (CCN 371) – he has also failed to notice the rather large pachyderm in the parlour when espousing nuclear energy.

Just how does one safely dispose of not only the toxic waste, but also the highly radioactive reactor chamber itself once its commercial endof-life has been reached?

This has been discussed before in this very column, and the pro-nuclear proponents have yet to come up with a viable solution.

Furthermore, it is a complete canard that nuclear reactors are cheap; why else are they closing down around the world in favour of renewable energy?

FORUM It’s hardly for lack of uranium, after all.

And as for being safe, may I remind him of certain incidents such as Three Mile Island and Chernobyl?

Those are just the ones that we know about; who knows how many more have been covered up in the former Soviet Union (Chernobyl only came to light when Sweden detected unusually high levels of radioactivity from the East).

The world cannot afford yet another nuclear accident; for the sake of our children and our children’s children stick to the original “cheap safe and clean” energy sources such as sunlight, water and wind.

Email, Dec 21 Dave Horsfall, North Gosford

Power options … a right of reply for Mr Hemmings Several letters were published in response to my contribution in CCN 371 re the Super Battery proposed for Munmorah.

They point out the principal purpose of the battery is to provide stability to the power grid, not so much as a backup power source.

This in no way negates the need for a cost/benefit analysis to assist in the most beneficial

FORUM use of scarce financial resources.

And yes, I am very wellqualified to assess a cost/ benefit analysis if given the original value of the variables.

I speak from a long history in earth sciences, energy and metallurgy.

I (also) have no vested interest

in power, a job nor allegiance to any political party.

Assessing the relative costs of new generating plants utilising different technologies is a complex matter and the results are sensitive to location.

Nuclear plants are expensive to build, as are renewables, and both are relatively cheap to run.

Nuclear has the advantages of security and reliability with very low greenhouse emissions.

Renewables lack reliability when the sun does not shine and the wind does not blow and the weather does not affect output from a nuclear plant.

Nuclear has the disadvantage of waste disposal.

Large scale storage is not so much of an issue with nuclear as it is with intermittent renewables.

The basic metric adopted for comparison is levelized cost of

electricity (LCOE) which is the total cost to build and operate over plant lifetime divided by total electricity generated.

It is easy to get the ‘right’ figure for LCOE by choice of input variables.

LCOE calculations need to be made dispassionately, which is not usually the case.

Future generation will be a mix of types depending on location.

For example, Canada has high

reliance on hydro because it has a lot of water, Australia does not.

We have an abundance of nuclear and fossil.

It would seem to make sense to further investigate nuclear, especially for base load power, and not to discard it out of hand, simply because it was made illegal in Australia years ago.

Why don’t we reappraise?

Adelene Village staff do a wonderful job As my mobility causes me to sit quietly, watching, but still enjoying the Christmas festivities, I was recently privileged to observe, and marvel, at our Adelene Village Independent Living, Wyoming 2022 Christmas Party.

FORUM The love, care, respect and exuberance shown to every aged person by all members of staff and village residents who helped, was a joy to behold.

Staff members dressed in

festive costumes; even Santa a welcome attendee.

They would all have been so weary by party time from buying and preparing all that was needed – food, drinks, prizes, decorations etc. – but still spent the afternoon at full, happy pace to give each of us an incredible

Christmas celebration.

Their cooperation and organisation were exemplary.

The food, served by staff etc, was superb – top quality, beautifully presented – and special items catering for those of us who may have a particular need due to some of the health

aspects of ageing, very much appreciated.

On behalf of all of us who received the love and caring of our Adelene Village Independent Living staff, I say a huge “thank you”.

Our day was symbolic of the love, care and support the staff

here give us all year round, and we are blessed to receive what I feel is top class care and support, in beautiful bushland surroundings to add to our blessings.

Coast Opera Australia goes back to basics After more than two years of disruption due to COVID-19 restrictions, Coast Opera Australia is set to re-launch in 2023 with a “back to basics” program and a new chairman at the helm.

Well known actor, director, producer, writer and biographer Graeme Blundell has a wealth of experience both on stage and in TV and movies as well as on the business side of the arts industry.

Remembered as the lead actor in the iconic 1970s Australian film, Alvin Purple, he has also worked at La Mama Theatre, the Pram Factory, Hoopla, the Playbox Theatre Company and the Melbourne Theatre Company.

He directed and acted in the premiere performance of Jack Hibberd’s play Dimboola at La Mama and his first television appearance was as an uncredited extra in the debut episode of Homicide in 1964.

He has written extensively in The Australian newspaper (and still does) as well as writing biographies of Brett Whiteley (with his then wife Margot Hilton), Graham Kennedy and most recently Bert Newton.

“My background is not chiefly

associated with opera, but I have had a long involvement with theatre and music,” he said.

“I have directed productions of Hair, The Threepenny Opera and The Sentimental Bloke and have a huge admiration for the human voice – especially the majesty of operatic voices.”

Blundell also knows the ins and outs of getting theatrical companies off the ground, having started the Australian Performing Group in the ‘60s, being Social Director of the Melbourne Theatre Company for some years and being instrumental in establishing the Playhouse Theatre in Melbourne (now the Malthouse Theatre).

“I know how hard it is to establish a company and Coast Opera is a professional company,” he said.

“It is great to come into the company as it begins with pretty much a new slate.

“I have some ideas already formulating and it will be interesting to see where we can go.”

Founder and Artistic Director Angela Brewer said Coast Opera Australia was “rebuilding” following disruptions to performances

New chairman Graeme Blundell Artist Viktoria Bolonina with Angela Brewer at Coast Opera’s last event at Central Coast Stadium, A Night Of Enticement Under The Stars

over the past two years and would go back to basics with its 2023 season, to be announced early in the new

year.

“We will present intimate performances by artists including Terry Tahu Rhodes,

year with a full-scale opera,” she said.

“We also plan to feature some other genres of music in our program, including a bit of Gilbert and Sullivan and some German Lieder songs.

“We will be re-engaging with our supporters and offering subscriptions on our website early next year.”

Both Brewer and Blundell are keen to broaden the company’s appeal.

“We want to present pure voices with no amplification or add-ons,” Blundell said.

“It is important to make opera accessible to the wider community.”

Brewer also paid tribute to the huge support offered by the Bouddi Foundation for the Arts.

“Several scholarships from the Foundation have enabled us to work with performers and prepare them for the world stage,” she said.

The 2023 program and subscription details will be available at www. coastoperaaustralia.com early next year.

BOOK REVIEW Joan is Okay Author: Weike Wang Publisher: Text Publishing

Joan, or as her mother calls her, Joan-na is a 36-year-old diminutive ICU doctor in New York.

She is “just under five foot tall and just under a hundred pounds.”

She is also smart, attended Harvard.

She is the kind of dependable doctor that will fill in when any of her colleagues want or need time off.

Joan doesn’t have much of a personal life, her apartment looks like she is just moving in, or must moving out.

“My twenties were spent in school, and a girl in her twenties is said to be in her

prime.

After that decade, all is lost.

They must mean looks, because what could a female brain be worth, and how long could one last?”

Her parents moved from China to America, where Joan was born and moved around the states a bit.

Joan thought she was an only child, but she learned when she was four that she had an older brother.

Fang (pronounced Fong) was eight years older than Joan and was left in China when Joan’s parents moved to America.

He joined the family in Witchita, Kansas, after his

grandparents died, when he was twelve.

Her parents worked hard to give Joan a good education and once she was accepted into Harvard they flew back to China.

Their job was done.

Since then, Joan’s relationship with her parents has been sporadic.

They don’t speak much and when they do it isn’t to say much.

But now Joan needs someone to cover her weekend shift.

She just discovered that her father had a stroke, which was fatal, and she needs to get to China, stat.

“At the funeral, I couldn’t talk about my father in a significant way, and once I got a few words out others just wanted me to stop”.

Joan’s cousin asks, “Hasn’t China changed?”

Joan replies, “I didn’t know the country too well.”

Her cousin says, “Given how my face was Chinese it was a shame to know nothing about myself.”

Joan is on a plane the next day to be at work Monday.

Her brother stays a few more

weeks to help his mother.

Fang is rich and lives with his wife Tami and their children in a mansion in Connecticut.

He is constantly telling Joan she needs to leave the hospital and open her own practice in Connecticut.

That is where the money is.

Tami constantly tells Joan that her biological clock is running out and the window to procreate is closing.

Holidays with her brother and sister-in-law are fun for Joan.

Joan also has a new neighbor,

to the international scene is the drummer Khuslen Baasanbayar.

Currently residing in Europe, but frequently returning to his home country to perform, Khuslen has performed all over Europe and in Mongolia with greats like Jesse Davis, Kenny Washington, John Marshall and Ignasi Terraza.

German veteran bassist Martin Zenker rounds out the Mongolian All Stars. He has made Mongolia his home since 2014, to establish the jazz department at the State Conservatory of Mongolia, and frequently tours the world from there.

He has played with legends such as Kenny Washington, former Miles Davis drummer Jimmy Cobb, Billy Hart, Ed Thigpen, James Moody, and Eartha Kitt, just to name a few.

Source: Australian Mongolian Friendship Society

who is extremely friendly and tries to help Joan out by giving her furniture, books, a television.

Things he thinks Joan needs.

Joan feels she is out of control of her life.

Work was the one constant but now she has been ordered to take six weeks off because she has accumulated so much leave.

How will Joan fill her days?

And her mother has come to stay with Fang in Connecticut for a little while.

But it is 2020 and as they say, the best laid plans …

Joan is quirky but she is a good doctor.

“The first time I put on my white coat, it felt like home.”

“From then on, I knew that my occupation would become my home.”

Joan is OK. And this book it OK too.

New name and look for Budgewoi Hotel

Budgewoi Hotel re-launched on Wednesday

A local landmark, The Coast Hotel, has been officially re-launched as Budgewoi Hotel following extensive renovations at the lakeside pub.

It’s the newest venue for Sydney Restaurant Group and

their first foray into hotels.

Group Director Daniel Drakopoulos said he and the staff were looking forward to welcoming past regulars, newcomers and tourists alike to the new, elevated version of the former iconic and beloved pub.

“We are pleased to be able to inject some fresh and unique spaces and offerings into the local area while retaining the hotels sense of community spirit,” he said.

“With interior design by leading stylist, Hannah Brady, of the renowned Studio Brady,

the Budgewoi Hotel concept and design takes inspiration from the local coastal lifestyle with fixtures and fittings intended to create a relaxed home for all to enjoy.

“This multi-offering hotel has a range of spaces to cater for all, from the ground floor bistro,

boasting classic yet elevated pub dining, public bar, multifaceted event spaces, state of the art sports bar, VIP room and sprawling beer garden.

“We’re setting the standard for food, beverage and entertainment on the Central Coast.

The Lago Cucina restaurant will open early in 2023 but in the meantime the bistro will be open for a wide range of meals.

Encouraging women into construction industry Business NSW Central Coast has welcomed a commitment by the NSW Government commitment to triple the number of women working on construction sites with the release of an Industry Innovation Program.

Treasurer Matt Kean said the Government was working with industry to achieve a target of 15 per cent women on work sites by 2030, with a view towards reaching a more gender-balanced industry in the future.

“This $10M grant program will support industry-led initiatives to break down the barriers stopping women from

considering a career in construction,” he said.

“We’re inviting eligible organisations to apply for grants of up to $300,000 to deliver projects that ensure these workplaces are safe, flexible and inclusive.

“And we’re also launching a dedicated website for women and girls interested in learning more about the industry.”

The Industry Innovation Program will support initiatives that increase and retain women working in the construction industry including: creating inclusive workplace cultures; increasing the number of women entering and staying in the industry; and supporting

BUSINESS & PROPERTY Local Government NSW (LGNSW) has released 10 election priorities for the 2023 NSW State Election, which detail the commitments it wants to see at state level to ensure councils can continue to provide the services their communities deserve.

It is asking all candidates to commit to the priorities it has set out including, among other things, financial sustainability; resilience to natural disasters;

roads and infrastructure and housing and homelessness.

LGNSW President Darriea

Turley said the election was taking place at a critical juncture for local government.

“Local government is a key economic driver for NSW,” Turley said.

“Councils across NSW employ 55,000 people, look after $177B of community assets and most importantly are the beating heart of the communities they represent.

“But despite the sector’s vital importance, councils are at breaking point due to a myriad of challenges that need urgent

attention.

Turley said that (Councils’) financial models are not fit-forpurpose with a rate cap methodology that is detached from the economic reality.

“Meanwhile, years of extreme weather events has caused extensive damage to our road network and infrastructure.

“In addition, a challenging economic outlook is causing tremendous stress on the communities that we serve, leading to cost-of-living pressures and an affordable

housing crisis.

“This is all occurring as the ability of councils and communities to determine what development occurs in their own area continues to diminish.”

Turley said the Association’s election priorities detail these challenges while providing a golden opportunity for all sides of politics to finally partner with local government to deliver the outcomes communities expect and deserve.

“Crucially, the priorities

include measures that are not just critical to our short-term future, but also for the benefit of future generations as we face shifting demographics and a changing climate,” Turley said.

“We look forward to working with all parties and candidates in the lead-up to the March election to ensure these priorities come to fruition.”

Chris King steps down from RDACC Board After almost a decade, Chris King is stepping down from his role as the longest serving Board member for Regional Development Australia Central Coast (RDACC).

He is credited with bringing arts and culture into the conversation as an economically viable asset for our region.

“A former professional actor, opening his own talent school on the Coast in 1988 saw Chris champion the development of many local young stars, with outstanding success,” an RDACC spokesperson said.

“His understanding of both the entrepreneurial and creative sides of cultural and artistic endeavours also saw him fulfil the role of Manager Arts and Culture for (the former) Gosford Council.

“During his time with RDACC, Chris was instrumental in championing the Central Coast Food Innovation Initiative, by reviewing and deploying best practice international models in the region to position the Central Coast as a world-class centre of excellence for food innovation.

“Having served under several Chairs and alongside various

RDACC CEO John Mouland, Chris King and RDACC Chair Lawrie McKinna

board members and CEOs, Chris credits the wealth of collective experience and proactive nature of the RDACC Board for its success as a conduit between all levels of

government to achieve incredible results for the Central Coast community.

“Chris continues as an active community member, volunteering with the Toukley

Neighbourhood Centre, continuing his involvement with local theatre productions, community arts and culture associations, as well as remaining a sitting member on the board of Mingara Recreation Club.

“The Board and staff of RDACC would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Chris King for his diligence, his passion, and his ingenuity in advancing economic and cultural prosperity for the people of Central Coast.”

King said he had been privileged to work on the Board for almost 10 years but that he

felt it was time to “give someone else a go”.

“RDACC does what it was set up to do,” he said.

“It is a conduit, providing feedback to the State Government and has a Board of members with varied experience.

“We have a very strong community on the Central Coast and while tourism and the arts are my special areas of interest, I have tried to be involved in all conversations.”

Six years after the merger of Gosford and Wyong Councils, a draft Planning Agreement Policy has been formulated for the entire LGA, giving developers a clearer indication of what is expected of them in the way of contributions.

Central Coast Council Administrator Rik Hart resolved at the December 13 meeting to endorse the draft policy and put it on public exhibition for 28 days.

Hart also resolved to repeal the Voluntary Planning Agreement Policy for Gosford City Centre.

Adoption of the draft policy would see the repeal of the former Wyong Shire Planning Agreement Policy, Deed of Agreement and Bank Guarantee Policy and Deferred Payment of Section 94 Contributions Policy.

The purpose of the policy is to establish a framework to guide the preparation of Planning Agreements under Section 7.4 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the EP&AAct) and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 (the

Central Coast Council Administrator, Rik Hart

Regulation).

It seeks to enhance flexibility of planning decisions through the use of Planning Agreements and enhance the range and extent of development contributions made by development towards public facilities in the area.

It also sets out Council’s specific policies on the use of Planning Agreements and procedures relating to the use of Planning Agreements.

Hart described the move as “a good and timely tidy-up”.

A report lodged at the meeting said a Planning Agreement is a voluntary agreement between a planning authority and a developer who has sought a

change to an environmental planning instrument (ie planning proposal), or who has made, or proposes to make, a development application or application for a complying development certificate.

“Under a Planning Agreement, a developer agrees to make a contribution towards a public purpose,” it says.

“The contribution may be the dedication of land, payment of a monetary contribution, provision of a material public benefit, or any combination of these.

“Planning Agreements are widely used by Council as a tool for delivering infrastructure and public benefit outcomes in association with planning proposals and development applications.

“It is important Council has a policy and procedure in place to guide the negotiation, administration and making of Planning Agreements.

“This ensures transparency, fairness and flexibility of planning decisions.”

Program encourages workers of the future A partnership between the CSIRO and Regional Development Australia Central Coast (RDACC) has been fostering students’ interest in STEM subjects for almost a year.

The STEM Community Partnerships Program (STEM CPP), part of the CSIRO’s Generation STEM initiative, connects students with local industry to help foster their interest in STEM and support the skills needs of current and emerging STEM industries.

Across Australia, the demand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills continues to be high, growing almost two times faster than for other jobs.

The Central Coast is home to several global brands, with food and beverage manufacturing contributing $300M to the local economy.

Its other key growth industries include construction,healthcare and tourism.

By 2036, the Central Coast is expected to create 24,674 additional jobs.

To keep up with this growth, there is a need for schools, businesses and other organisations to work together to ensure that businesses have

access to a pool of STEMskilled workers.

Central Coast Aero Club signed up as a STEM CPP industry partner because it was looking strengthen the STEM pipeline on the Central Coast and reverse local youth unemployment.

“We want to inspire youth to enter our industry in one of the many varied pathways, whether on the operational flying side, the engineering side or administration and management,” Aero Club General Manager Andrew Smith said.

“We find STEM CPP dovetails perfectly with our requirements.

“We often have students start flight training after a STEM CPP site visit.

“The Aero Club is a great asset for the Central Coast, as it provides an outlet for youths with a passion for aviation.

“And the STEM CPP program helps to highlight this.”

Wyong High School is one of STEM CPP’s participating schools.

Its Year 9 and 10 students recently went on a site visit to Central Coast Aero Club, where they toured the airport and experienced a computersimulated flight.

The visit offered students a chance to see STEM in the real

world.

The students also visited Brian Hilton Motor Group, another STEM CPP partner, where they saw the latest hybrid and electric vehicles, learned about the future of electric cars, and heard from industry professionals about their career journeys.

Science teacher Tom Carlson said the program allows the students to witness real-world and local applications of STEMrelated industries in the community.

“These experiences have shaped the future careers of some of our students, with them engaging with these local

industries to pursue experiences beyond school,” he said.

“They have also realised the extent and importance of STEM. “Through the opportunities, they can engage with related fields allowing for meaningful, real-life connections.”

Carlson also said the students enjoy practical experiences, such as site visits to local industries and the capacity to understand why STEM is such a vital part of society.

“Being part of the STEM CPP is a privilege for our school,” he said.

“I would recommend to anyone interested to take the opportunity; the program has

enabled students to see the world beyond the classroom.”

Participating student Thomas Baker praised the program.

“Instead of sitting in a classroom and being told what careers we can do, we’re actually seeing people who have lived that experience,” he said.

CSIRO Director of Education and Outreach Ruth Carr said the Central Coast region is expected to increase by 95,250 people between 2016 and 2041.

“This growth offers an opportunity for local industry and schools to work collaboratively to build the future STEM pipeline,” she said.

Brian Hilton Motor Group People and Culture Manager Dan Cummins said more companies need to invest in young students to ensure they are aware of local opportunities.

“We all know of the difficulties in attracting and retaining staff across the country, now more than ever,” he said.

“Connecting with the next generation is critical to building a future workforce.”

Three new housing subdivisions in northern suburbs Future housing stock in the northern suburbs is forging ahead with yet another three subdivision proposals for about 150 new homes.

The latest subdivisions in a steady flow over recent times presented to Central Coast Council are at 25-31 Railway Rd, Warnervale; 60 Jensen Rd, Wadalba and 109 Minnesota Rd at Hamlyn Terrace.

The largest of the three subdivision proposals is for 86 housing sites and an environmental conservation zone at 60 and 70 Jensen Rd, Wadalba.

An existing dwelling at number 70, classified as a heritage item, will remain and a larger lot surrounding it will be created for its protection.

A collector road through the development will be a future bus route and all internal roads within this new subdivision are designed to connect with future developments on adjoining

land parcels at 110 and 90/100 Jensen Rd which are also currently being assessed by Council.

A local park and shared pathways are also planned for

the subdivision with plans on public exhibition (DA 3426) and submissions closing on Friday, January 20.

Malonga Holdings (Aust) Pty

Ltd is planning to convert its 1.497ha landholding at Warnervale into 22 home sites in a range of sizes from 450sqm through to 706sqm.

The development application says it will be progress similarly to adjoining residential subdivisions with integrated roads and footpaths, including an extension of Honey Myrtle Dr from west to east and construction of a new road connecting Railway Rd in the south, however, there will be no access to Sparks Rd. This development application (number 2020) is on public exhibition for community feedback until Friday, January 13.

A subdivision over 5.96ha at 109 Minnesota Rd, Hamlyn

Terrace is the first stage of bigger plans also incorporating 121 Minnesota Rd. This land parcel was previously a poultry farm and orchard and the first stage in its development is to subdivide 41 housing lots ranging in size from 450sqm to 707.6sqm as well as a 2.5ha C2 environmental conservation zone.

The C2 land, which likely will be transferred to Council, is considered integral to the restoration of Porters Creek floodplain and would provide a buffer between the residential land and floodplain.

Community feedback on this development application (3743) is open until Monday, January 30.

Last chance to have your say on suburb boundaries The Geographical Names Board is seeking community feedback on a proposal by Central Coast Council to amend existing suburb boundaries between Berkeley Vale and Glenning Valley.

Council proposed the boundary amendment to allow properties in The Glades Estate to be wholly within the suburb of Glenning Valley following changed road networks as a result of recent subdivisions.

About 150 properties in Berkeley Vale will become part of Glenning Valley and 28 properties in Torrellia Way will be re-numbered.

The boundary realignment has come about because of new housing subdivisions since 2009 across the 50ha development area, with some streets straddling the two suburbs, causing confusion for

residents and being problematic for emergency services and other service providers.

For instance, the Glades Estate was marketed as being in Glenning Valley although some properties are in Berkeley Vale and Council had received multiple submissions from the developer and property owners requesting a boundary realignment to incorporate all properties within the Glenning Valley suburb.

In particular, three streets in Glades Estate – Sandalwood Cl, White Fig Dr and Torrellia Way – are contained in both the Glenning Vallley and Berkeley Vale suburbs.

According to a report to Council in October most of the Torrellia Way residents are opposed to street re-numbering but Council says it is required to allocate street numbers, rather than current lot numbers, in accordance with the

Chair of the Geographical Names Board, Narelle Underwood said it was

important suburb boundaries were easy to identify and make sense to the community.

“The Board is encouraging community comment before it considers the proposal.

“We want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to provide their feedback on the

proposed boundary amendment,” Underwood said.

Details of the proposal can be viewed, and submissions lodged on the Geographical Names Board’s website www.

GNB.nsw.gov.au Alternatively, written submissions may be mailed to

the Secretary, Geographical Names Board, 346 Panorama Ave, Bathurst, NSW 2795.

The closing date for submissions is January 20, 2023.

To assist with a smooth transition from the existing residential addresses to the new addresses in Torrellia Way, Council says it will ensure a 12-month mail direction with Australia Post and will notify public agencies such as, but not limited to, NSW Customer Services, Valuer Generals, Telstra, Ausgrid, Jemena, Australia Electoral Commission as well as local emergency services.

Each property owner will receive a letter outlining their new address for proof of location to update their private records.

CREATING FINANCIAL FREEDOM

Why a party can be good for your health WITH

Michelle BALTAZAR Editor-in-Chief • Money magazine One of the big changes in our “post-pandemic” world is how we connect and communicate with each other.

Along with all the benefits of remote working came a raft of mental health challenges relating to disconnection and a general lack of social interaction.

As humans, we have a basic psycho-social need to know how we relate to those around us, and to keep those connections strong through social interactions.

The less we interact, the less the brain thinks we are connected to the group and the more likely we are to panic or feel depressed as we feel more ostracised and exposed.

Research shows that connectedness not only improves our mood, but it also lowers blood pressure and helps us live longer.

A famous 1979 study by Syme and Berkman discovered that people with strong social ties were three times more like-

ly to live longer than those who were less connected to others.

The key here was that the connections needed to be deep – not just cursory interactions, but meaningful relationships.

The researchers found that strong social ties were a significant factor in a range of better health outcomes.

Those who embraced close social ties were less likely to smoke or be obese and more likely to be physically active.

For many of us, the holidays represent a time when we go out of our way to intentionally connect with each other, not to improve our work or productivity, but purely to build our social connectedness.

Office parties, family meals, gatherings with friends, religious services ... they all form an important part of our social fabric and increase our sense of relatedness to each other.

It’s odd to think that celebrating may actually help us live longer, or that an office party

may actually be contributing to better health – but the research is clear.

This also changes the way we might spend money, including the type of presents we give.

The idea of “experience gifts”

was popular even before the Covid pandemic.

However, I suggest that we think a little harder about these types of gifts and think of ways we can create opportunities to strengthen our connectedness.

I have bought season tickets to the rugby for me and my two sons, or booked a nice restaurant, or bought tickets to a show that we can all enjoy together.

These are gifts that create memories and shared experi-

ences that deepen our social connectedness.

There are many great ideas at this time of year that can strengthen our connectivity.

PHIL SLADE, behavioural economist and psychologist

Cumbersome cards make way for smartphone payments Australians are increasingly reaching for their phones rather than physical cards when paying at the checkout, with new Reserve Bank data revealing that a quarter of all debit and credit card transactions are now made using mobile wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay.

In the March quarter of 2020, mobile wallet use accounted for just 10% of all card transactions, but that shot up to 25% in the March quarter of this year.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it appears that younger Australians are the ones driving the shift.

In a recent survey conducted by the comparison website

Savvy, two-thirds of 18- to 24-year-olds reported that they were using Apple Pay at least once a month.

By contrast, just 10% of 55- to 64-year-olds and 3% of those over 65 said they regularly used the mobile wallet.

“Really, it’s about the convenience of eventually

being able to do away with the wallet altogether,” says Adrian Edlington, money expert at Savvy.

“Carrying keys, a wallet of Australians in the 18- to and a large smartphone 24-year-old age group use is a bit cumbersome and Apple Pay at least many people like the simonce a month. plicity of doing away with Source: Savvy unnecessary items.”

67%

“In terms of safety, if you lose either your cards or your phone, you will be devastated.

“Having them both in one place gives you one less thing to worry about.

“You can leave your cards at home in a safe place and take your phone with you.”

Gosford High excels in HSC Students from Gosford High School have excelled in this year’s HSC, with 10 included on the All Rounder Achievers list having attained Band 6 or Band 4 in every one of their subjects and one topping the state in a subject.

Rebecca Owens came first in NSW Investigating Science, the fourth consecutive time a GHS student has topped that particular subject.

Making the All Rounders list were Nomi Henrique, Michael James, Lilliana Davis, Monique Devries, Jackson Hood, Zander Latimer, Dhinesh Ponnappan, John Smit, Mingyuan Xu and Joshua Zhang.

Principal Michael Smith said it was a“massive achievement”, with all students performing

exceptionally well.

“Our preliminary analysis also shows the school has moved up in the overall NSW ranks considerably,” Smith said.

He said the results were especially impressive given the challenges presented by COVID-19 in recent years.

“Being a selective high school, we have students travelling from all over – from Leichhardt to Lake Macquarie – and many have had different lockdown rules since the beginning of the pandemic,” he said.

“These results demonstrate the importance of face-to-face teaching.

“We managed with online learning but there is no substitute for being in a classroom with a good

teacher.”

Smith said 251 students were classed as Distinguished Achievers (DA), scoring more than 90 in at least one of their courses, with some students being listed multiple times for success in more than one course.

“The 177 students who sat the HSC have already received more than 400 offers for university courses, with many receiving multiple offers,” he said.

In other results for the Central Coast, Warners Bay High

School student Tyler Freund also made the All Rounders list, along with Phoebe Britten and Isabel Fanning from Central Coast Grammar.

Kincumber High School had 27 students on the DA list, including Elise Georgeson with

four Band 6s.

Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College had 26 students on the DA list, including: Gabrielle Gilmore, Hugh Johnson and Chloe Patch, all with three Band 6s.

Brisbane Water Secondary College had 14 on the DA list, including Zarne Thomas with three Band 6s.

Eddy’s bash raises $26,000 for Chris O’Brien Lifehouse Budgewoi Soccer Club has raised more than $26,000 for the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at its Eddy Baty Bash fundraiser held early this month and attended by around 400 people.

Along-time club member, Baty was diagnosed with a BCC skin cancer in 2011 and is now

AUSSIE GROWN AUSSIE OWNED

cancer free following two medical trials and nine operations.

“In 2011 I noticed a sore on the back of my neck and decided I should get it looked at,” he said.

“I had been a surfie and a plumber by trade and when I was younger, we didn’t have all the rules and regulations

(surrounding sun care).

“I was diagnosed with a BCC and undertook a two-year medical trial.

“That worked for a while, but more cancer grew on my ear and another medical trial followed.”

Over the past 10 years Baty has had nine operations and

has lost an eye, an ear, half his jaw and half his nose.

Now, cancer free and with a new prosthetic eye and new teeth, he is urging everyone to have regular skin checks.

“I decided I wanted to buy a coffee machine for the Lifehouse because the staff here are so wonderful,” he said.

“Someone suggested I try to raise more money, so I contacted the Lifehouse and set up an official fundraising page.

“The results from the soccer club fundraiser were amazing.”

Baty, a former player for the club, helped build the new clubhouse in 1985 and has been a staunch member ever

since.

He is continuing his fundraising efforts with the support of the club and the Wyong Leagues Group through next year and donations can be made at https://donate. mylifehouse.org.au/sponsorgeneral.

Wyong headspace turns one In the 12 months since it opened its doors for the first time, headspace Wyong has provided care and support to more than 250 young people including for their mental health, physical health, alcohol and other drugs, employment, and social support.

Assistant Minister McBride (back centre) with CCLHD and headspace staff and clients

Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention and Federal Member for Dobell, Emma McBride, marked the one-year anniversary of the opening with a visit.

“I was delighted to join staff and people with lived experience at headspace Wyong to officially mark their one-year anniversary,” she said.

“Our community fought hard for many years to get this service up and running, and it has made a significant impact in its first year – supporting

more than 250 young people across the Coast since it opened last December.

“The past few years have been tough on all of us, but they’ve been especially challenging for young people and it’s great to see headspace Wyong giving locals the care and support they need.” headspace Wyong is located at 28 Hely St and offers free support to people aged 12-25 who are experiencing, or atrisk of, mental ill-health.

“Early intervention is vital, and headspace is a trusted service for young people to visit and seek help,” McBride said.

“I would encourage locals to contact headspace Wyong when and if they need it, so they can get the care and support they need when they need it, close to home.”

New program supports cancer patients A free health program to support cancer patients to be active and complement their treatment is now available on the Central Coast.

The Get Healthy Service Cancer Support Program offers participants telephone coaching for six months from their own personal health coach.

Coaches work with people on a one-on-one basis, providing practical tools and support, helping them set personal goals, make a plan – starting with small steps – and overcome barriers.

Evidence shows that for people with cancer being active can boost energy, reduce fatigue and help reduce the side effects of treatment.

It can also improve mental wellbeing and reduce the risk of developing other health issues like diabetes and heart disease.

The new Cancer Support Program has been developed

by NSW Health in association with the Cancer Institute NSW and is one of eight Get Healthy programs offered for free.

The programs are facilitated locally by Central Coast Local Health District.

“Being active during your cancer treatment can make a big difference to your quality of life,” Health Promotion Officer Samantha Hingerty said.

“The Get Healthy Service helps cancer patients through their cancer journey with personalised support that complements their treatment.

“Calls can be booked at times that suit you, and support can extend to areas such as eating healthily, reducing alcohol intake and maintaining a healthy weight.”

The Get Healthy Service also offers dedicated programs to support expectant mothers to be healthy during pregnancy,

Central Coast Stadium has a new name Central Coast Stadium has a new name, with locally based Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) manufacturing and distribution company Industree Group being named official naming rights partner in November.

The stadium is now to be known as Industree Group Stadium.

Industree Group CEO Jon Fleming said the company was excited by the announcement.

“To be able to contribute back into the local community where our head office is based and many of our staff and their families live, is a fantastic opportunity and one that we are very passionate about evolving for the benefit of the community,” he said.

Operating and distributing successfully at a multi-national level, Industree Group owners Jason Stenning, Melanie Stenning and Jon Fleming celebrate their 15th year of operation this year.

“Securing the naming rights of such an iconic local Central Coast asset now adds another really positive layer to our 15year anniversary celebrations,” Co-Founder and Managing Director Jason Stenning said.

Industree Group staff celebrate the name change

Venue Manager Kath Casey is delighted that a local Central Coast company with a multinational presence has invested significantly into the naming rights partnership.

“Industree Group Stadium is the people’s stadium on the Central Coast and this naming rights partnership is all about investing in the future and success of our region,” she said.

“Industree Group is one of the great business success stories here on the Central Coast and this partnership will enable us to deliver on our commitment to bring the best events to our region, drive local tourism and business, and deliver the best possible event experience for the fans at our beautiful Stadium.”

Central Coast Council Administrator Rik Hart has

welcomed the support of the Industree Group as the new official naming rights sponsor.

“This commitment from a Central Coast business is wonderful to see and is a sign of confidence in the stadium’s ability to be able to host big events,” he said.

“Council’s aim is to be able to deliver and support highquality events on the Coast, which will help boost business

and visitation, as well as bring the community together.”

As the Industree Group Stadium events calendar continues to grow, the Central Coast Mariners have locked in at least 12 A-League Men’s home games per season and all women’s home matches at the Stadium through until at least 2025/26.

The Mariners will field a team in the A-League Women’s

competition from next season – creating further pathways for young footballers on the Central Coast, with Industree Group already making a commitment of support to the new team over and above the new stadium naming rights deal.

The Sydney Roosters have confirmed they will be bringing their Round 14 Sunday afternoon NRL blockbuster against the CanterburyBankstown Bulldogs to Industree Group Stadium on Sunday June 4.

The Sydney Roosters and the South Sydney Rabbitohs will both host 2023 NRL PreSeason Challenge matches at Industree Group Stadium as part of two big double-headers on Fridays February 10 and 17, which will also feature the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Newcastle Knights, ManlyWarringah Sea Eagles and 2022 NRL Grand Finalists, the Parramatta Eels.

Industree Group Stadium is operated by leading event and venue management company VenuesLive on behalf of Central Coast Council.

DOWN IN THE GARDEN: WITH CHERALYN DARCEY

CHRISTMAS IN YOUR GARDEN A Christmas Tree in Your Garden Although the cutting of a tree and bringing indoors to celebrate the winter season and then Christianity, is an ancient tradition, the modernday Christmas tree as we know it was popularised by Queen Victoria and her German husband, Prince Albert after a newspaper illustration of them with their children around the palace ‘Christmas Tree’ captured and inspired the people of the time.

The delight of a decorated tree has now become synonymous with Christmas through across many regions the world.

The debate as to what is more eco-friendly, a cut tree or a manufactured tree may rage but all would agree, a living Christmas tree in your garden is perhaps the best solution of them all!

Although there are traditional Northern Hemisphere trees that can be grown in your garden, how about an Australian native tree that will give you the look but will be far better suited to the environment here and fit in with the wildlife locals better? Let’s begin with the magnificent Norfolk Pine Araucaria heterophylla.

They do grow up to 35m in height and they certainly will be the closest native that you will find in appearance to a traditional l tree.

Houseplant lovers listen up as

w

this tree grows well indoors while young for a few years as well.

Oh, Woolly Bush Adenanthos sericeus how divine you are!

Perfect for small gardens as it will grow up to an easily manageable 5m and with bonus vivid orange-pink flowers in spring and early summer this will delight both you and your local pollinators.

If you have a dinosaur lover or botanical history buff in your family, then you just have to make a Wollemi Pine Wollemia nobilis your garden Christmas Tree.

One of the rarest and oldest trees on Earth, it will grow comfortably indoors and in sheltered spots in the garden.

Christmas Bush is mentioned as such in colonial letters and also found sketched and painted by the artists of the time on gifts, cards and greetings.

Louisa Anne Meredith, an artist of the time, refers to it as such in the 1830s: “We used to meet numbers of people carrying bundles of beautiful native shrubs to decorate the houses, in the same way we use holly and evergreens at home… it is a handsome

verdant shrub, with flowers, irregularly flower shaped and go from green to crimson in colour” Similar in ways to the poinsettia, the flowers are not the part of the plant that endear us to it.

The flowers are small creamy-coloured blossoms that fall away in spring to leave sepals that turn a gorgeous red by late December.

Find a full sunny spot to plant your Christmas Bush and feed

Australian Christmas Bush Depending on where you find yourself in our beautiful country, will indicate the type of plant known locally as ‘Christmas Bush’.

Here on the Central Coast and across our state, NSW Christmas Bush Ceratopetalum gummiferum is our Aussie festive native and it becomes more popular each year.

People in colonial times simply looked to flowers that reminded them of the key symbolism of the European Christmas of their birth places.

Christmas bush, with its red flowers in tiny bell shapes and its appearance at the ‘right time’ would of more than fit the bill.

NSW Christmas Bells The flaming yellow-red Christmas Bells Blandfordia nobilis and Blandfordia grandiflora are two of my personal favourite flowers.

They are members of the Lily family say everything ‘New South Wales’ to me and remind me of summer bush walks, family picnics and home.

As with any native flower, it is illegal to pick these in the wild but that’s ok as they will grow easily in Coast gardens.

You will find that Blandfordia

Congratulations Doyalson Community Garden

On top of their fourth consecutive year winning the ‘Best Community Garden’ category in the Wyong Garden Competition, Doyalson Community Garden has taken out a big national win in the inaugural National Community Gardens Awards.

Doyalson Community Garden has been named the ‘2022 Australian Community Garden Champion’.

This award celebrates the gardens that reach out to their community with valuable connections, activities and opportunities for locals.

Garden Co-Ordinator Jules is proud of the achievement and the far-reaching possibilities, “I think the award is a good thing to help people realise what our community gardens do and

during spring with a nativespecific fertiliser only.

This is advised to increase the number of blossoms which will lead to a showier festive display.

When harvesting your Christmas bush, never remove more than a third of the plant and cut branches at an angle with sharp secateurs.

Remove all foliage that will sit below the waterline in your vase, change water every second day and snip drying bottom of stems as required.

You should see your cut Christmas Bush last well into the New Year with a vase life of at least two weeks.

Other Christmas Bush varieties include Victorian Christmas Bush Prostanthera lasianthos and South Australian Christmas Bush, also known as Tasmanian Christmas Bush Bursaria spinosa, both of which will grow in Coast gardens.

hopefully they will want to join.” She commented.

“Here at Doyalson we host community group gatherings and have opened our garden to a local support group to share

education and life skill opportunities.”

Community Gardens Australia, the body that runs the awards, is a networking organisation that connects community gardeners around Australia.

It is growing source of information, networking opportunities and support for all those currently working with community gardens or have an interest in them.

nobilis grows well in full sun but is semi-shade tolerant while Blandfordia grandiflora needs full sun.

Christmas Colour Indoors If you want to liven up your home in an instant, collect big bunches of foliage and display in vases.

They will look very much like dramatic potted plants, fill your home with living greenery and if you are selective in your foraging, will add delightful fragrances to your living spaces.

Soft Lemon Teatree branches are divine indoors and also help deter mosquitos.

Try grouping different sized and shaped vases together for a really lush, tropical look, especially if you are using palm and fern leaves.

Our local nurseries are also bursting with summer colour at the moment and now might be the time to pop in a few new beauties in your garden to welcome visitors or for your own delight.

Before you do get planting, why not make a blooming bright display for a day or two?

African Daises, Inpatients, Coreopsis, Hydrangeas, Zinnias and Kangaroo Paw are all coming into flower at the moment and you could leave them in their pots (maybe cover with cloth or paper) and create a lovely display but only for a day or two at most as they do need to be out in the garden.

PLANT THIS WEEK This week you can also plant the following: culinary herbs, beans, beetroot, blueberry, cabbage, capsicum, carrot, celery, chicory, cress, cucumber, eggplant, endive, leeks, lettuce, marrow, melons, mustard, okra, spring onions, parsnip, pumpkin, radish, rhubarb, rosella, salsify, shallots, silverbeet, squashes, sweet corn, sweet potato, tomato, zucchini, ageratum, alyssum, amaranths, aster, begonia (bedding), California poppy, coleus, cosmos, carnation, dianthus, gazania, gerbera, gypsophila, marigold, petunias, phlox, portulaca, lobelia, love-in-amist, lupin, nasturtium, nemesia, rudbeckia, salvia, snapdragons, sunflowers, vinca Cheralyn Darcey is a gardening author, community garden educator at swampcentralcoast.com.au and along with Pete Little, hosts ‘At Home with The Gardening Gang’ 8 - 10am live every Saturday on CoastFM963, on air locally or download the app: communityradio.plus.

Crusaders announce coaches for 2023 BASKETBALL The Central Coast Crusaders have named their NBL1 coaches for the 2023 season.

Tim Hudson has been named head coach for the NBL1 Men’s team while Mikko Von Lueders will be returning as the NBL1 Women’s head coach.

Hudson is a long-standing member of Central Coast Basketball and has a wealth of coaching knowledge.

He has previously coached multiple years for the Crusaders and his experience even extends to the Sydney Kings where he was appointed assistant coach back in 2012.

“This is a rare and unique opportunity for our team, club, and region to compete for a

B

national title,” he said.

“Our club has done an incredible job of building home grown talent over many years with many great coaches contributing to that.

“I intend to do all I can to continue that growth.”

Von Lueders will continue to foster a positive basketball culture in 2023 when he returns as NBL1 Women’s head coach.

“Having an NBL1 team on the Central Coast opens so many opportunities for our representative women who would normally have to travel away from the Coast to play at a high level,” he said.

“In 2023, I’m hoping to continue developing a strong playing group who have a bright future ahead of them.

Topping the medal count was Taylor Corry (Multi Class), who came away with gold in the 50m and 100m butterfly, silver in the 200m IM (Individual Medley), 500m freestyle, 200m freestyle and 50m backstroke and bronze in the 100m

backstroke – for a personal tally of seven medals.

Summer Klein shone in the 12-14 division, taking gold in the 200m IM, 100m breaststroke, 50 butterfly and 50m breaststroke, as well as silver in the 100m butterfly and bronze in the 200m free style.

Mariners down Jets in F3 Derby win FOOTBALL

Photo: CCM Media

The Central Coast Mariners have pulled off an unlikely win against their regional rivals the Newcastle Jets on Wednesday night’s F3 Derby match at Industree Group Stadium in Gosford.

The 3 – 0 win to the Central Coast team was a marked turnaround from the last F3 Derby only the week before when the Jets defeated the Mariners 2 – 1.

The win has propelled the local team into the third spot on the national Isuzu UTE A-league Men ladder just behind Western Sydney Wanderers and the dominant Melbourne City.

The match was a physical affair between the two regional teams though the Mariners were clearly more confident.

A breakthrough came in the 22nd minute after some lazy Jets play in the middle of the field, when youngster Jacob

Mariners fans, players and staff celebrate after the game

Farrell snatched the ball, slotting to Brazillian Marco Tulio in the process.

The Jets goalkeeper Jack Duncan was off his line when the Brazilian took aim, firing a potshot from over 40 metres away.

His incredible shot sailed over Duncan before dipping in under the post, establishing a 1 – 0 scoreline for the home side.

The Jets came out of the change rooms with renewed energy with a spirited attack that was only stopped by the

head of the tall roving Mariners defender Brian Kaltack.

In the 63rd minute, Kaltack pushed it to Tulio, who in turn gave Cummings space in front of goal to give the striker another goal in his growing season tally.

Then, in the 87th minute, the Mariners were awarded a penalty following a Newcastle handball in the box.

Whilst not at first called by the on ground referee, the VAR intervention replay showed the touch, with the ref pointing to

the penalty spot.

A cool and collected Beni Nkololo sent Jets keeper Duncan the wrong way, pounding in the third home team goal for the evening.

A good local crowd of 7,000 fans fronted up to the preChristmas match, including many families and devoted supporters and lovers of the game – something the league will be happy about considering the violent scenes in Melbourne over the weekend.

The Mariners now face a formidable couple of games over the coming weeks.

First up is the Tuesday game against league leaders Melbourne City in Melbourne before the New Year’s Eve game against Melbourne Victory.

Fans are advised to secure their New Year’s Eve tickets well before game day to speed up entry to the ground on the night.
