ESTERN Sydney families will gain access to two previously closed lakes under a $5M plan to create a recreational fishing park at Penrith Lakes by 2028. The proposed Penrith Lakes Fishing Park will feature accessible fishing platforms, walking tracks, picnic areas and native fish stocking, giving residents a new destination to cast a line close to home. Planning and design work is underway to transform the two artificial lakes into fishing locations suitable for beginners, experienced anglers and people with disability. Neither lake is currently open to the public, with the project set to unlock additional parkland for Western Sydney communities. More inside.

Creating a new destination for families

The proposed facilities include car parks beside each lake, accessible ramps, fish cleaning tables, seating, toilets and bins for discarded fishing line and hooks. Ms Car said the investment would provide families with more outdoor recreation options. “Western Sydney families deserve a range of outdoor spaces close to home, and the new Penrith Lakes Fishing Park will deliver exactly that,” she said. “The NSW Government’s investment will continue the transformation of Penrith Lakes into a destination for generations of local families and young fishers to enjoy.” The project follows the opening of Penrith Beach, which the government says has attracted almost 450,000 visitors since December 2023. Ms Moriarty said the fishing park would help more people participate without needing a boat or venturing onto ocean rock platforms. She said opportunities such as fishing guides, a

tackle shop and other visitor experiences could be investigated in future. Planning and Public Spaces Minister Paul Scully said the proposal would need to address planning, access and safety requirements. Penrith MP Karen McKeown said a dedicated fishing park would give local families somewhere to learn new skills and spend time together. The proposal responds to priorities raised by recreational fishers during consultation for the NSW Government’s Enhancing Recreational Fishing Action Plan. NSW Recreational Fishing Peak Body interim chair Greg Seeto welcomed the potential to improve fishing access across the region. “Creating more quality fishing opportunities close to where people live is an important part of making recreational fishing more accessible and encouraging greater participation,” he said. Completion of the transformation is expected to occur in 2028.

West trials new digital driver licence

ESTERN Sydney and Blue Mountains motorists are the first in NSW to trial a major upgrade of the Digital Driver Licence, designed to provide stronger identity protection while allowing people to share less personal information. The NSW Government is investing $11.5M this year in digital identity enhancements, with the new licence technology being piloted across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains ahead of a planned statewide rollout next year. More than 19,000 residents have already registered to take part in the trial. Licensed clubs and venues are among the first locations testing the technology, with Panthers Penrith Leagues Club participating in the initial rollout. The upgraded licence, accessed through the Service NSW app, allows users to generate a secure QR code when entering participating registered

clubs. With the licence holder’s consent, only information required by the venue is shared. The venue scans the QR code to receive confirmation of details such as proof of age without customers needing to hand over unnecessary personal information. The Government says the upgrade meets the latest international standards and includes additional security fea-

tures designed to make it more difficult for another person to misuse a licence holder’s identity. The initiative could have significant application across NSW’s hospitality sector. During the past 12 months, more than seven million people signed into pubs and clubs across the state, including 73,000 on ANZAC Day alone. Customer Service and Digital Government Minister Jihad Dib said

Western Sydney residents were being given the first opportunity to use the upgraded infrastructure. “This upgrade puts NSW motorists back in the driver’s seat when it comes to managing their personal information,” Mr Dib said. Roads Minister Jenny Aitchison said the changes represented the next step in modernising the NSW driver licence. “We’re giving motorists a better way to prove their identity, with stronger protections and less need to hand over their personal information,” she said. Member for Penrith Karen McKeown said the trial would make everyday interactions simpler and more secure for local residents. ClubsNSW CEO Rebecca Riant also welcomed the technology, saying it would help clubs meet legal identification requirements while better protecting patrons’ privacy. Western Sydney and Blue Mountains motorists can register for the pilot through the Service NSW app.

Tougher penalties for dangerous NSW drivers

HE NSW Government is introducing tougher road safety laws targeting dangerous driving, hit-and-run offences and the sharing of crash victim images. Proposed reforms include penalties of up to five years’ imprisonment for ag-

gravated dangerous driving causing bodily harm and three years for failing to assist injured crash victims. People who deliberately record and share images of seriously injured or deceased crash victims could face two years’ imprisonment. Illegal

street racing will also attract tougher penalties. Attorney General Michael Daley said the reforms would strengthen accountability, save lives and send a clear message that dangerous driving would not be tolerated.

$1.2B water facility at Kemps Creek

NEW $1.2B wastewater treatment facility at Kemps Creek will support connections for more than 140,000 new homes and businesses as development expands across Western Sydney. The Badu Yarragul Water Resource Recovery Facility will provide essential wastewater services for the Aerotropolis, Bradfield City and surrounding communities, supporting housing, employment and economic growth. The facility can initially treat up to 35 megalitres of wastewater daily, with future upgrades planned to double capacity to 70 megalitres and support more than 280,000 new connections. Its opening marks a major investment in the services needed to accommodate the region’s expanding population and business base. Badu Yarragul means “freshwater cleaning”, reflecting the facility’s purpose and its location on Wet Country. The plant uses membrane bioreactor and reverse osmosis technology to produce high-quality treated water and

enable opportunities for recycled water use. It also produces biosolids that can be reused in agriculture and forestry, helping recover useful resources from wastewater. Sustainability features include a four-megawatt solar farm capable of supplying half the facility’s energy needs, pipe bedding made from recycled glass and internal roads incorporating

recycled coffee cups and low-carbon binder. Deputy Premier and Western Sydney Minister Prue Car said the investment would help ensure essential services kept pace with development. “As Western Sydney communities grow around the Aerotropolis and Bradfield, the Minns Labor Government is ensuring we’re investing in the infrastructure required to support that

development,” she said. “This facility will support local jobs, strengthen Western Sydney’s economy, and ensure the region has the infrastructure and services needed for the future.” Water Minister Rose Jackson said the opening was part of a broader program to expand and upgrade Sydney’s water infrastructure. She said significant works were also underway at treatment plants serving Rouse Hill, Riverstone, Quakers Hill, Liverpool and Glenfield. “This is one of the most advanced water facilities in Australia and a significant milestone for NSW, supporting a cooler, greener city that is future-proofed for tomorrow,” Ms Jackson said. Sydney Water managing director Darren Cleary said the Kemps Creek facility had been designed to meet the region’s long-term needs. The project forms part of Sydney Water’s long-term approach to recovering resources while servicing new communities across Western Sydney.

Ross takes villain role in film debut

ESTERN Sydney film festival organiser Ross Page is stepping onto the big screen, making his feature acting debut as a villain in Australian independent action film Five By Five. Page, who runs Made in the West Film Festival, plays antagonist Agent 5 in the production, which will premiere at Reading Cinemas Auburn on Thursday, December 10. The role marks a new chapter for a familiar figure in Western Sydney’s filmmaking community, whose festival helps connect local filmmakers with audiences. Having supported other people’s screen stories, Page will now share his own work with local audiences as part of two nights celebrating independent Australian filmmaking. Directed by Maria Tran and Takashi Hara and written by Elizabeth H. Vu, Five By Five is a prequel to Echo 8 and forms part of The Echo 8 Trilogy, produced by Phoenix Eye Films. The production reflects the collaborative effort behind independent cinema, drawing on crowdfunding, sponsorship and contributions of goods and services to help bring the story to the screen. Five By Five and its sequel, Echo 8 Beyond, were filmed back-to-back over 50 shooting days in 2025. More than 200

participants have been involved across the trilogy. Page’s transition from festival organiser to feature actor highlights another side of the region’s filmmaking community, where collaboration can create opportunities both behind and in front of the camera.

Audiences attending the December screenings will also hear about the work involved in making the films, with each evening featuring a post-screening question-and-answer session. The Five By Five Sydney premiere begins at 6pm on Thursday, December 10, 2026, at Reading Cinemas Auburn.

Echo 8 Beyond will screen at the same venue on Friday, December 11, continuing the premiere celebrations. Tickets for the Five By Five screening and Q&A are available through TryBo.oking, offering audiences a chance to support independent filmmaking.

Cultural care could assist women breastfeeding

ERSONALISED and culturally sensitive care could help more women achieve their breastfeeding goals, according to a review led by Western Sydney University and the University of Lancashire. Professors Elaine Burns and Gill Thomson examined 41 papers published in Wom-

en and Birth between 2020 and 2025. The review identified challenges including premature birth, concerns about milk supply, cultural beliefs and inadequate antenatal education. Professor Burns said maternity services should prioritise compassionate support tailored to individual circumstances,

particularly during the first six weeks after birth. Researchers called for realistic antenatal education, family involvement, continuity of care and access to lactation specialists for women facing complex breastfeeding challenges, helping build confidence after birth.

Kids’ mental health hub at Penrith

AMILIES across Western Sydney, the Hawkesbury and Blue Mountains will have access to free specialist children’s mental health support when a new hub opens opposite Nepean Hospital in early 2027. A site has been selected for the Penrith Medicare Mental Health Kids Hub, with refurbishment works set to begin. The service will support children aged up to 12 and their families, with no referral required. It will be the first Medicare Kids Hub in the region. Children experiencing mild to moderate developmental, emotional, relational or behavioural challenges will receive help from a multidisciplinary team of mental health clinicians, allied health professionals and care navigators. Staff will tailor support to each family’s needs and connect them with additional services where necessary. The location places the hub near specialist health services, including the

recently opened Nepean Adolescent Mental Health Unit. NSW Mental Health Minister Rose Jackson said the service would remove barriers preventing families from seeking help. “This is about making mental health care easy and accessible. No diagnosis or referral needed – when the doors are open, families can just walk in and get

the support they need,” she said. The Penrith facility is the final of four Kids Hubs being delivered across NSW through a $50.8M joint investment by the federal and state governments, each contributing $25.4M. Existing NSW Kids Hubs have provided more than 17,000 appointments and support sessions since opening last year.

Demand for community-based care is also evident at the Penrith Medicare Mental Health Centre, which has delivered almost 40,000 free appointments and support sessions. Federal Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Emma McBride said early intervention could make a lasting difference. “Every child deserves to thrive, and every family deserves access to free mental health support close to home,” she said. Penrith MP Karen McKeown said families often struggled to know where to turn when a child needed support. Blue Mountains MP Trish Doyle welcomed the prospect of free care closer to home, while Macquarie MP Susan Templeman described the hub as a service offering hope to families. The announcement coincides with Mental Health Month and the continued expansion of Medicare Mental Health services.

Warning to prepare for the storm season

USGRID is urging NSW households and businesses to prepare for storm season by securing loose outdoor items, checking properties for hazards and assembling emergency supplies.

Safety general manager Matthew Sweeting said strong winds, heavy rain and thunderstorms could damage electricity infrastructure and cause outages. Residents should clear gutters, repair leaks and keep

battery-operated torches, radios and spare batteries handy. Ausgrid also recommends preparing an emergency kit and knowing the location of the mains switch. After storms, treat fallen powerlines as

live, stay at least eight metres away and never drive across them. Report fallen wires immediately on 13 13 88. Further storm safety advice is available through the Ausgrid website.

ALDI hub takes shape at Bradfield

LDI is building a distribution centre worth more than $1B at Bradfield, consolidating three existing Western Sydney facilities into an automated hub designed to support decades of growth. Scheduled to open in 2030, the centre will replace warehouses at Minchinbury, Prestons and Eastern Creek and supply stores throughout NSW and the ACT. The retailer says the development will double its NSW warehouse capacity, handling more than 680,000 product cases daily at peak and 2.5 million pallets annually. Capacity has been planned to meet forecast demand until at least the mid2040s. The NSW Government’s approval announcement estimated around 3,700 construction jobs and 585 permanent roles, making the project a significant employment investment for the region. Located near Western Sydney Inter-

is delivering the building, which will stretch more than half a kilometre across a 22-hectare site, with approximately 108,000 square metres of floor space. ALDI Australia chief executive Anna McGrath said the investment would support the company’s ambition to add approximately 100 stores nationally.

“ALDI has always taken a longterm view of our investment in Australia,” she said. The company says improved distribution efficiency will help maintain its low-cost operating model as its store network expands. Around 80 per cent of operations will be automated, with the centre running around the clock. Rooftop solar panels and energy-efficient design will support a target of net-zero operations by 2035, according to the government. The project sits within a precinct planned for industrial, commercial and retail activity, forming part of the wider development around Bradfield and the airport. For Western Sydney, the investment adds a major supermarket logistics operation to an emerging employment precinct intended to connect local industry with broader markets.

New seats signal stadium progress Images showing the construction of Penrith Stadium.

ENRITH Stadium’s new look is emerging, with seats being installed in the eastern grandstand and two giant scoreboards taking shape as the venue moves towards welcoming Panthers fans back for the 2027 NRL season. Seating installation will also begin in the western grandstand, revealing a design inspired by Western Sydney’s natural landscapes. The eastern stand reflects the heritage-listed Blue Mountains, while the western stand draws on the native grasslands of the Cumberland Plain. Both grandstands have been designed to bring spectators closer to the playing field and entertainment stage, with improved views throughout the venue. Two new scoreboards, each measuring 19 metres wide and almost double the size of the previous scoreboard, will provide improved picture quality and faster replays. New ribbon boards, sound and lighting systems will further enhance the spectator experience. The redeveloped stadium will accommodate 25,000 people for sporting events and up to 30,000 for concerts, expanding Western Sydney’s capacity to host major entertainment. Deputy Premier and Western Sydney Minister Prue Car said the improvements would make a difference for supporters. “The NSW Government is delivering a better experience for Panthers fans – better views, bigger screens and less time waiting in queues and more time watching the game,” she said. The stadium will have more than 450 toilets, three times the previous number, alongside additional food and beverage outlets offering one point of sale for every 150 patrons. Accessibility will improve substantially, with 184 accessible seats compared with 37 at the former venue. More than 1,800 workers have contributed to construction so far. Internal works are progressing on corporate suites, function rooms, player facilities, bathrooms and food outlets, while work continues on the field of play. Penrith MP Karen McKeown said the seating design would help create a familiar home for local fans. “The design celebrates the character and identity of Western Sydney, creating a venue that truly reflects the community it serves,” she said. Populous senior principal Josh Robson said installing seats marked a significant step towards completion. “With the seats, we really wanted to create a distinctive visual identity that embeds a strong sense of place into the stadium,” he said.

They included a bike capable of over 90km/h seized from a 14-yearold. Compliant e-bikes must cut power assistance at 25km/h and be limited to 250 watts continuous power.

$200M boost for NSW bus drivers

HE NSW Government will invest $200M to improve pay and conditions for more than 8,000 bus drivers as it tackles ongoing driver shortages and service cancellations. Funding will be tied to wage increases negotiated between private operators and unions, along with improved parttime opportunities, training and workplace conditions. The Greater Sydney driver shortage has fallen from more than 500 to 168. Since taking office, the Government says it has added 5,910 bus services, ordered 1,089 new buses and introduced new Western Sydney routes, including connections to Western Sydney International Airport.

Stronger rules to sell parts to repairers

HE Insurance Council of Australia is calling for stronger Right to Repair laws requiring vehicle manufacturers to sell genuine parts to independent repairers on fair terms. The ICA says

mechanics can have the technical information needed to repair vehicles but still be prevented from completing work because manufacturers refuse to supply parts. CEO Andrew Hall said restricted access increased repair costs and delays and could result in otherwise repairable vehicles being written off, ultimately contributing to higher insurance premiums for Australian motorists.

Training mandatory for strata committees

SW strata committee members must complete free online training within three months of their appointment, under new rules from the NSW Government. The one-hour NSW Fair Trading course, delivered via Strata Hub, covers committee duties, repairs, finances, meetings, record keeping and dispute resolution. It is the first in a planned series, with more modules from 2027. Acting Fair Trading Minister Paul Scully said the training would give the 1.2 million NSW apartment residents greater confidence in those managing their buildings.

$4.3M for festival drug checking

HE NSW Government will invest $4.3M to continue drug checking services at up to 15 music festivals annually following a successful

12-month trial. An independent University of Sydney evaluation found the service reduced drug-related risks and was associated with fewer urgent hospital presentations and ICU admissions. More than 1,800 festivalgoers used the trial, with about 1,500 samples tested. NSW Health will continue providing free, anonymous testing and harm-reduction advice. The Government stressed illicit drugs remain illegal and no level of use is safe.

Taxes top business concerns, says Opposition

AXES and government charges remain the top cost concern for NSW businesses for a second straight quarter, according to Business NSW’s September report. Confidence sits at -65.0, with nearly one in three businesses cutting staff and only 12 per cent hiring. The NSW Opposition has proposed raising the payroll tax threshold to $1.5M and cutting the rate to 4.75 per cent on the first $10M. Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane said Labor must address high taxes amid record insolvencies.

Disaster rebuild costs outpace inflation

HE cost of rebuilding homes after extreme weather is rising faster than inflation, adding pressure to housing construction and insurance premiums. Insurance Council of Australia analysis shows building costs increased about 30 per cent in the five years to March 2026, compared with 24 per cent CPI growth. Roof tiles jumped 77 per cent, while windows, plaster, steel, cement and other materials recorded sharp increases. Between 2022 and 2026, insurers received more than 400,000 disaster-related home claims, costing $11.3 billion and further stretching construction capacity.

Italy defeated Uruguay 3-2 on penalties after a goalless grand final at Hammondville on Saturday, with teams representing seven communities taking part in the tournament organised by Liverpool City Council in partnership with Football NSW. It was a dramatic turnaround for Italy, who went down 2-0 to Uruguay when they first met in the competition. Bosnia finished third, followed by Macedonia, Serbia, Syria and Sudan, in a competition that demonstrated how the world game can unite people across cultural and national backgrounds. Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun said the turnout and spirit of the day showed what could be achieved when communities came together around a shared passion. “Football is a universal language. It brings people together regardless of where they were born, what language they speak or what traditions they grew up with,” he said. “The Harmony Cup sends a message to the world

The winning team.

that harmony can be achieved, and that it is something we should treasure and celebrate. We saw that on the field, in the stands and among the families who

came along to support their teams. “Liverpool is one of Australia's most diverse communities, and we should be proud to celebrate that diversity while recognising everything we have in common.” The event also featured a Multicultural Gala Day for young people aged five to 16, giving the next generation an opportunity to participate, connect and enjoy the game in a welcoming community environment. Liverpool City Council CEO Jason Breton said the event demonstrated the value of community partnerships in creating opportunities for residents to connect. “The Harmony Cup brought people together through sport and created a wonderful opportunity for families and communities to share in a positive, inclusive day,” Mr Breton said. Council thanked its event sponsors, Roman’s Deli, the Belgravia Foundation, Turner Freeman Lawyers and Dr Fit, for helping make the inaugural tournament possible. The Harmony Cup builds on Liverpool's commitment to celebrating cultural diversity and strengthening the connections that bring the community together.

INTERESTING THINGS PEOPLE ARE DOING

The William Inglis Hotel

EMMA WILSON, TRAVEL EDITOR

’M fascinated by people doing interesting things, and something that I love about Sydney is just how diverse the experiences and destinations on our doorstep can be. That was certainly the case when I found myself at the William Inglis Hotel for Saturday night’s Candlelight concert. Have you ever set foot inside the William Inglis Hotel? Neither had I and yet walking through its doors felt like being transported straight into the epicentre of Australia’s horse-racing world. And it was. The hotel sits within the 22-acre Riverside Stables precinct, home to the annual yearling sales and right beside Warwick Farm Racecourse. Before you even enter, you’re greeted by a statue of a horse with a trainer. Then the front doors, decorated with subtle horse motifs, open into the beautifully appointed William Inglis, a horse-themed MGallery hotel and part of the Accor group. I was so intrigued by this world that I stepped into, so I immediately called a close friend who knows this ‘horsey’ world inside out. I wanted to know what I had been missing and whether this fascinating little pocket of Sydney was as significant to the horse world as

it seemed. “Oh yes. I haven’t been there for a while, but it’s a lovely hotel and very well known. We really enjoy staying there when we do. Warwick Farm Racecourse next door has state-of-the-art facilities for the horse sales. They used to hold the sales in Randwick, but had to move further out because of space restrictions in the city. People love it there.” Do they? Well, that was enough to pique my curiosity. It’s certainly worth ducking in for a cocktail on the second floor or booking dinner, if only to discover this fascinating corner of Sydney for yourself. Every little detail has been thoughtfully considered, right down to the guest rooms, each individually named after a Group 1-winning horse sold through the Inglis family. The artwork is phenomenal, think striking blackand-white photographs of horses being hosed down in all their magnificent glory, radiating water droplets, alongside equestrian touches including horse-print carpet. We loved the convenience of being able to simply walk out of the Candlelight concert and head straight upstairs to our room. And if you’re at the hotel to simply unwind, the rooftop pool is a great spot to watch the orange sun slip away, preferably from one of the poolside cabanas. It would make a beautiful

wedding venue for those reasons, and is equally suited to a girls’ weekend, a romantic escape or a little Sydney getaway when you feel like discovering something completely different.

Why Western Sydney makes sense to bring more cultural events here Western Sydney is changing at extraordinary speed, as we know, with Western Sydney International Airport, Parramatta Light Rail, Sydney Metro

West and major cultural investment reshaping the region. Powerhouse Parramatta is due to open in November 2026, while plans progress for the redevelopment of Riverside Theatres. As Western Sydney builds cultural infrastructure to match its growing population, Candlelight feels very much at home in that story, taking an experience that could feel formal or exclusive and making it accessible through local venues, familiar music, beautiful surroundings and just an hour of your evening. The William Inglis Hotel is home to more than 26 unique event spaces, each with its own character and connection to our rich Inglis history. Across the precinct, we host everything from weddings and gala dinners to conferences, concerts, cultural events and horse sales. The Sales Arena, where the Candlelight Concert was held, is incredibly versatile and can accommodate up to 1,000 guests depending on the setup. In just one week, we saw it transform from an intimate Candlelight Concert illuminated by hundreds of candles to a completely different event with a boxing ring in the centre. Weddings are also a big part of the hotel, with spaces including the Rose Pavilion for beautiful garden ceremonies, the Sales Arena for large-scale celebrations and The Big Barn for a more intimate, rustic setting steeped in Inglis heritage”.

Castle Hill RSL's new steakhouse EMMA WILSON, TRAVEL EDITOR

LRIGHT, hear us out on this one, Castle Hill RSL is not exactly the first place you'd think about booking a proper steak dinner. But the new Steakhouse honestly changes that thought completely. We walked in and straight away the fit-out had us doing a double take. Slick, warm, a bit of polish without going full formal feel. The kind of spot where you could easily lose an afternoon over a long lunch, or scrub up a bit for a proper dinner date. The menu's all about the beef, as you'd hope from a steakhouse, with an Asado grill doing the heavy lifting. Cape Grim tenderloin, Macka's Black Angus striploin, Black Opal Wagyu and if you're feeling flush, there's a Robbins Island full-blood Wagyu tasting trio that'll set you up nicely for a big night. We kicked off with the seared scallops and the grilled jumbo prawns to share. Scallops were cooked spot on, served with cauliflower purée, pickled mushrooms, mushroom gremolata, salmoriglio. Prawns were the opposite vibe entirely, big chargrilled units with togarashi lime butter, pangrattato and fried capers. Proper finger-food energy, heaps of flavour, and a great foil to the more dainty scallops. Mains were the lamb rump and a whole butterflied baby barramundi, both shared. Lamb was chargrilled, paired with smoked carrot purée, potato gratin and garlic jus. We added mushroom sauce that proved an excellent pairing. The barra, though, was the showstopper. Whole fish, skin crisped up and charred, sitting with baby corn, green beans and a prawn bisque that you'll want to mop up with something. Extras included truffled crispy potatoes buried under Parmesan, plus the maroulosalata, cos lettuce, leek, shallot, dill, feta, lemon vinaigrette. That salad earned its keep, cutting through all the richer stuff nicely. I had a glass of the 2024 Giant Steps Pinot Noir out of the Yarra with the lamb and it was a great pairing. The wine list is worth a mention too- a broad Australian selection and the pricing was very reasonable. The food was excellent, but honestly the service might've pipped it. Our waiter and the young waitress looking after us were spot on throughout. Both were attentive without being up in your business every five minutes. That's a hard balance to strike

and they nailed it. Steve, the owner, came round for a chat too. Genuinely lovely bloke, clearly proud of the place and switched on to what his guests were after. This added a nice bit of warmth to the whole afternoon. Castle Hill RSL is clearly not mucking around here. Great looking decor, quality produce and a kitchen that knows what it's doing plus service to match. We went in expecting standard club fare but walked out thoroughly impressed. We'll be back.

Checho's Cronulla Mexican comes to Cronulla Cronulla's food scene just keeps getting better, and the latest joint to throw its hat in the ring brings a proper splash of Mexico, heaps of colour and a good dose of fun to the strip. Checho's is all modern Mexican vibes. Cocktails, sharing plates and a serious signature Tequila menu. Lucille and I hauled ourselves across town to check it out. We walked in and straight away the vibe was chilled and welcoming. Service was switchedon and friendly the whole night, and the menu didn't muck around either, no endless list to wade through. We kicked off with the Tuna Aguachile and the Corn Ribs, plus a couple of cocktails that went

down a treat with the fresh Mexican flavours. The Caipiroska was great.. vodka, brown sugar, lime, and really refreshing. Checho's spin on a Tommy's Margarita (blanco tequila, Cointreau, lime, guava, agave) also had that zesty citrus hit that just works with this kind of food. The Tuna Aguachile was generous slices of fresh tuna sitting in a ponzu dressing with jalapeño, pickled onion, tajín and lime. Bright, colourful, and a nice light way to get the night going. But honestly, the Corn Ribs stole the show early. Sweet, slightly charred corn smothered in manchego with chipotle crema and lime, and the pickled onion on the side cut through all that richness perfectly. Simple dish, executed well and devoured in minutes. Tacos are obviously the main event here, $10 a pop, so it's easy to just order a stack and share around. We went with the secret-spice fried chicken, soft-shell crab, mushroom and fish, and honestly there wasn't a dud among them – the crab and the fried chicken were the pick for us, but the mushroom held its own too, which says a lot for a veg option sitting alongside all that seafood and chicken. There's also slow-cooked beef brisket on the menu if you're after something heartier, and if you're rolling in hungry, there's bigger stuff on offer as well. There’s pork ribs, skewers, fried chicken, and Wagyu that all looked generous. Then there's the drinks menu, which had us properly entertained. The table next to us was served one of Checho's 2.3-litre Shared Cocktail Handbags - it's exactly what it sounds like. This massive handbag-shaped glass arrived. A memorable cocktail and of course the phones came out. Great bit of theatre. We finished up with the churros with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce on the side. Warm, crisp on the outside, and that caramel sauce had us scraping the plate clean. I wrapped up the night with a Patrón Reposado - cooked agave, a bit of black pepper and vanilla in there, smooth and warming, solid way to finish things off. That's Checho's in a nutshell really, doesn't take itself too seriously. Food's colourful and built for sharing, cocktails are a laugh, service is relaxed but, on the ball, and there's enough theatre going on to make it a proper night out. 1 Ocean Grove Ave, Cronulla.

COYOTE VS ACME - REVIEW

Stop it, you’re crying over a cartoon Coyote JACOB RICHARDSON

OR years, Wile E. Coyote has been trying to catch and kill the Roadrunner with a series of gadgets from ACME. But when his rocket skates fail, he says enough is enough. He approaches local personal injury lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte) to take on ACME in court, going up against their formidable legal team led by Buddy Crane (John Cena). And while Avery might be initially reluctant to take up the case, as they unravel a deeper conspiracy, he finds himself drawn into the fight. Coyote Vs ACME is a movie that was never meant to see the light of day. Written off by Warner Bros as a tax write off, and subsequently rescued by another firm and finally released, the question was always going to be; was it worth the wait? The answer is a resounding yes. It’s a bonkers concept, played out with aplomb. Beautifully mixing the Looney Tunes vibes with the live action, and building a world that perfectly integrates all of the different canon characters without ever losing sight of its main story, it sucks you into an absurd tale. While the synopsis might read like a mix between a fever dream and an exceptionally dry legal procedural, the end product is neither. And that’s not to even begin to talk about the ending. The finale of this movie hits you so hard in the feels, you’ll feel like Wile E. Coyote having come acropper a large mountain after a malfunctioning ACME product. There’s a genuinely lovely message in here about

the chase; about what it means to have something to pursue, and someone to pursue it with. It’s a beautiful resolution to a movie that could have been about a Coyote finally eating a bird, but turns into something much more heartfelt. The live action cast are all perfectly serviceable here, and it’s nice to see Cena play a bit more of a villain. Forte is well cast, striking the blend between too funny and just funny enough well. But ultimately, this isn’t their show. The script is fantastic, but it’s the gags aping classic WB

S AVE

cartoons, the love of the lore, and the love of these characters from director Dave Green that really shines through. And for a movie so belaboured by release dramas, it winds up both directly and indirectly proving that sometimes, the chase is worth it. Coyote Vs ACME winds up being one of the best movies of the year. A genuinely heartfelt film, that will entertain you from start to finish while also impressing you with its innovation.

Tax Debt Matters 23

WHY PAYMENT PLANS FIX EVERYTHING

And the wrong one can wreck It

MICHAEL MOON

PAYMENT plan is one of the most underrated tools in dealing with the ATO. Done properly, it solves almost the entire problem in one move. Done badly, it's the reason a manageable debt turns into a genuine crisis. The difference is never the plan itself. It's whether it was ever going to fit. Most businesses are offered a standard shape. A fixed monthly figure, over a fixed period, calculated off the debt rather than off the business. For some businesses that shape fits well enough. For a lot of others, it's a square peg being pushed into a round hole. The number looks reasonable on paper the day it's signed and stops looking reasonable the first month cash flow doesn't cooperate. That's not a failure of willingness. It's a mismatch between the shape of the plan and the actual shape of the business, its seasonality, its payment cycle, the lumpiness of when money actually lands versus when it goes out. Force that mismatch through anyway and the plan doesn't bend to fit. It breaks. Here's the part worth understanding properly. A plan that's actually shaped around the business, built against its real cash cycle rather than a generic template, can run for up to three years and hold the whole way. That's not a lesser outcome than clearing the debt fast. For most businesses, it's the better one.

It keeps the business compliant, keeps enforcement away, and keeps cash in the business doing what cash needs to do. Handled properly, the payment plan isn't a consolation prize. It's the panacea most businesses never realise they had access to. Shaping that fit is the specialist work, and it's worth being direct about that. It takes knowing what evidence the ATO needs to agree to a longer term, and knowing where a business's real cash cycle sits well enough to build a plan around it rather than around a template.

That's not a side task for someone whose training is compliance or general advice. It's a different discipline, done daily, against a target that keeps moving. The cost of getting the shape wrong has never been higher. A plan that doesn't fit tends to default, and a default isn't a neutral reset. The ATO's patience for a second attempt is measurably lower than for the first, and options open on day one are frequently gone by the time a business needs them again. Set against that, the cost of hav-

ing the plan shaped properly the first time is small. It doesn't come close. If your business already has an ATO payment plan, the question worth asking isn't whether you have one. It's whether it was shaped around your business or around a template. One of those is the hidden panacea. The other is just delaying the same problem, at a higher price, for later.
