Changing Face of Kiama Kiama Council voted 22 November to allow buildings to be constructed up to six-storeys high in some parts of the Kiama CBD. The successful motion will see amendments made to the Kiama Local Environmental Plan 2011 to increase the maximum building height limit for specific sites in Terralong Street and Akuna Street.

The Akuna Street car park, which Kiama Council sold to developer Level 33 for $28 million in 2022, will be allowed to build to a maximum height of six storeys (21m) for 20 per cent of the build area, five storeys for a third of the area (17m) and the rest will remain at four storeys.

Sections of the southern side of Terralong Street between Thomson Street and Collins Street (the block across from the Kiama Leagues Club) will increase the maximum building height from three storeys (11m) to four storeys (14m).

Meanwhile, the Centrepoint Shopping Mall will increase its maximum building height to four storeys, but only on the corner of the site while the rest of the site remains at three storeys.

Speaking against the motion, Councillor Karen Renkema-Lang said Councillors needed more accurate housing targets and a better understanding of how the changes would impact the entire Kiama LGA, not just

the town centre.

“In order to understand the impact on services such as sewerage capacity, transport, roads and carparks and other social services, a realistic indication of demand and time scales across the entire LGA is needed. Without such information, Councillors aren’t fully informed of planning requirements,” Councillor Renkema-Lang stated.

She was also against the idea of allowing the height of the building across the road from the Memorial Arch in Hindmarsh would damage the visual amenity of the town.

Councillor Kathy Rice also spoke on the motion, saying she supported most

of the changes suggested, but thought increasing the height limit to 21 metres was inappropriate for Kiama.

“My objection is only to the parts of this development plan of the town centre that have been slated for 21 metres. I think the 21 metres is inappropriate for Kiama and for that reason I continue not to be able to support this,” Councillor Rice stated.

Deputy Mayor Imogen Draisma said in support of the motion that even though some would like Kiama to never change, change is the only certainty.

“It is unfortunate that we cannot take the view that we want no change in our community, but unfortunate-

ly, we are not absolved of our responsibility to provide additional housing in the LGA and to make planning decisions which also include the provision of additional services and additional businesses for our town centre.

“Although we might not like the idea of increasing these heights, it is required and within the context of our wider town centre, we are already seeing developments that are almost at the same time of those that have been proposed.”

Councillor Matt Brown also voiced his support for the motion, saying he’d recently spoken to locals who complained about how poor the buildings look on Terralong Street.

“[Locals] have been saying loud and clear that the town centre needs reinvigoration, it needs reinvestment, it needs a better look, a better feel and it needs better accommodation for residents and businesses, and that’s what this [motion] is trying to do and that’s why I encourage councillors to support it.

The motion was approved with votes from Mayor Neil Reilly, Deputy Mayor Imogen Draisma and Councillors Mark Croxford, Warren Steel and Matt Brown. It was voted against by Councillors Jodi Keast, Kathy Rice and Karen Renkema-Lang.

Charmian honoured with blue plaque Renowned essayist and famous Kiama resident Charmian Clift will be honoured with a prestigious Blue Plaque.

The Blue Plaque Program is led by Heritage NSW who recognise the lives and contributions of famous characters and personalities from across the state.

Kiama & District Historical Society President Sue Eggins nominated Charmian for the award for her significant contributions to Australian writing and journalism.

Sue told The Bugle she was absolutely thrilled about Charmian’s Blue Plaque, which is expected to be installed on Kiama Library’s staircase pillar which leads to the entrance of the library.

Kiama Library is also home to the largest collection of Charmian’s work.

Charmian is just one of 14 famous NSW residents selected in this round of the Blue Plaques NSW Program out of 117 nominations.

Born in Kiama in 1923, Charmian is best known for the more than 500 essays and columns she had published in the Sydney Morning Herald which were

considered to be some of the earliest feminist essays in Australian history.

Charmian’s life will soon be portrayed on the big screen in the documentary “Charmian Clift: Life Burns High” which is in the final stages of post-production and scheduled to air on FOXTEL in March 2024.

NSW Labor’s Duty MLC for Kiama Dr Sarah Kaine said they were not just honouring a writer, “but a woman who faced adversity with grace, turning her life’s chapters in an inspiring

narrative that continues to resonate.”

“Charmian's early struggles shaped her, but it was her courage and words that defined her. From Bombo Beach to the battlefields of journalism, she faced life head-on.”

“Charmian's journey from a small coastal town is part of the rich history of both Kiama and NSW, and it will be wonderful to see a Blue Plaque installed in her honour for both locals and visitors to see.”

Karen Renkema-Lang censured over radio interview

Kiama Council has censured Councillor Karen Renkema-Lang over comments she made during a radio interview on 21 June 2023.

She also faced potential action relating to comments that were published in a 23 June newsletter by or on behalf of Councillor Renkema-Lang, but the complaint related to the newsletter was withdrawn.

Kiama Council CEO Jane Stroud announced the official motion following a confidential session of the ordinary council meeting, stating: “[Council] officially and formally censure Councillor Karen Renkema-Lang for breaching section 440g by breaching the following clauses of the code of conduct following on from a radio interview on 21 June 2023 where the following breaches were found to be substantiated by the independent investigator: • Clause 3.1 conducting herself in a manner likely to bring other council officials into disrepute; • Clause 3.1c conducting herself in a manner that was improper or unethical and;

• Clause 31.1 Breaching the policy code of conduct The motion also included reviewing Council’s social media to include all forms of media used by or on behalf of councillors regarding their role as councillor, remind councillors to comply with the need to comply with said social media policy and to continue to progress the development of its draft media policy to reflect who can speak for and on behalf of Council regarding Council matters.

No further details were given about the breach of the code of conduct.

Councillor Renkema-Lang joins Mark Croxford as the second Councillor to be censured this year. Councillor Croxford was censured in July 2023 for “conduct that amounts to engaging in intimidation” during a debate surrounding the Golden Valley Way DA in Jamberoo at a Council meeting on 21 March.

FRESH NEW LOOK Seafood platters dressed to impress There’s nothing quite as stunning as an enticing spread from the sea.

I

t might look like the ultimate in decadence, but a beautiful seafood platter is quick and easy to do at home, not to mention more budget friendly.

On a large platter start with a single layer of cooked Australian tiger prawns, then tuck in some oysters and a serving of smoked salmon. Finish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve with a simple lime dressing (half a cup of french dressing, lime juice, capers, chopped chives and seasoned with salt and pepper).

And for an easy way to freshen up hands at the table, don’t forget bowls of warm water with lemon.

KIAMA 'LOW' ON HOUSING COMPLETIONS Minister Scully says the Dashboard would be an “effective tool” to help monitor housing supply and guide better outcomes.

“It helps inform planning decisions to support our region’s growth, bringing us into line with other parts of the State where these insights are already available”, he said.

The launch of the Dashboard comes as New South Wales Labor’s new duty MLC for Kiama, Dr Sarah Kaine, told The Bugle’s Brendan Foye the two biggest issues facing local residents were affordable housing and the cost of living crisis.

“With a bit of an ageing population across Kiama, we need a lot of workers to look after them…it’s incredibly difficult for care workers in particular to be able to find affordable housing, it plays out differently in different parts of Kiama, but it’s hard getting people living near where they can work”, she said.

Dr Kaine’s focus on housing mirrors that of her Labor colleague, Treasurer Daniel Mookhey, who used his Budget speech in September to warn New South Wales was “in the midst of a fierce housing crisis”.

“Rents are rising. Interest rates are climbing. Home ownership rates are falling… the next generation fears permanent eviction from safe and secure housing”, he said.

Kiama Mayor Neil Reilly has downplayed concerns that the controversial housing development at Loves Bay will become Airbnb accommodation as the NSW Government looks to crack down on the number of short-term rentals across the state.

Speaking to Kiama Community Radio on 21 November, host Bernie Hems asked Mayor Reilly to comment on

or Draisma was one of the four councillors that voted against approving the Loves Bay DA in November 2022.

NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey confirmed on 12 November 2023 that the state government will review the short-term rental accommodation by the end of year after identifying 90,000 homes, including short-term rentals and holiday houses, that could be freed up for the long-term rental market.

A Kiama Council spokesperson said Mayor Reilly welcomes the review.

The prior week, National Shelter and consultancy SGS Economics & Planning released a report that found that 5.46 per cent of all homes in the Kiama LGA are short-term or holiday rentals, one of the highest proporthe ongoing concerns about we’re not the FBI or the CIA tions in the state.

97 per cent of all DAs, with 103,460 DAs approved in the two most recent financial years, but only 83,419 construction certificates were lodged.

Kiama Council stated in its annual report for the 2022-23 financial year that DA timeframes are currently delayed due to staff resourcing, and that further work was needed to improve DA determination timeframes.

Kiama Council incurred $1.7 million in legal expenses in the 2022-23 financial year related to legal proceedings, including $1.2 million to defend against developer Nicolas Daoud over the proposed sale of the Akuna Street car park that fell through in 2018.

During the same interview with Kiama Community Radio, host Bernie Hems and Mayor Reilly discussed an article from The Bugle from 15 November 2023. The developer behind the Loves Bay property attempted to obstruct an ICAC investigation into her previous company for bribes it paid to the Mayor of Canada Bay, Angelo Tsirekas. Mr Tsirekas has since stood down as Mayor of Canada Bay. Commenting on the article, Mayor Reilly said: “This was picked up by our local Bugle newspaper, who felt that because Canada Bay and the loss of a mayor and a corrupt developer, it must have happened the same here in Kiama, I think they put that on me.”

The Bugle made no such connection between Mayor Reilly and Mr Tsirekas in its reporting. The article in question did not actually mention Mayor Reilly at all.

Not enough homes are being built in Kiama to keep up with projected population growth, according to new data from the New South Wales Government.

The Illawarra-Shoalhaven Urban Development Program Dashboard – launched

by Planning Minister Paul Scully earlier this month – shows just fifty-four homes were built in the Kiama LGA in 2021-22.

Over the same period, 350 homes were built in the Shoalhaven LGA, 571 homes were built in the Wollongong LGA, and 606 homes were built in the Shellharbour LGA. The Dashboard shows that housebuilding in Kiama nosedived in 2021-22, with 56.9 per cent fewer completions than the average of the previous five years.

Separately, the Dashboard confirms data released by Domain earlier this month showing the median price for a home in the local area has reached $1.36 million, thirteen times the average household income of $95,368.

Now, the median price for a unit in Kiama is $690,000, and the median asking rent is $650 per week.

These prices are significantly higher than average for the Illawarra-Shoalhaven, where the median house price is $904,000, the median unit price is $688,000, and the median asking rent is $560.

The Bugle's View

Major plans for Spring Creek Everyone has the right to revealed have a view

Subdivision plans for 67 residential lots at Dido St have been put on public exhibition on Kiama Council’s website until 5 December 2023.

The subdivision, valued at more than $35 million, will include 60 semi-detached dwellings and seven detached dwellings. It will also require a demolition of an existing property.

The Bugle reported the DA was lodged on 19 May 2023.

It is north of the ends of Dido Street and Glenbrook Drive.

Construction will include a private road network, a public recreational park,

and stormwater and civil infrastructure, according to the DA. It will also include rehabilitation of the existing riparian corridor for Spring Creek. The applicant is listed as PSEC Property Services.

The lot was zoned from Rural Landscape to Low Residential and Large Lot Residential at a council meeting on 20 August 2019.

Some existing Didio Street residents have already shared their concerns with The Bugle. One local resident asked whether improvements will be made to the Dido Street Bridge, which is the only entrance and

This past week we covered Kiama Council’s censure of Councillor Karen Renkema-Lang because of an interview she gave on 21 June 2023 regarding the reclassification of land that Blue Haven Bonaira occupies, to enable its sale.

As covered, Council engaged an independent investigator who was engaged to assess Councilor Renkema-Lang’s behavior with respect to Council’s Code of Conduct.

Their report underpinned Council’s motion to censure Councillor Renkema-Lang through a breach of section 440g of the Local Government Act 1993 through the following clauses in the Code: •Clause 3.1 conducting herself in a manner likely to bring other council officials into disrepute; •Clause 3.1c conducting herself in a manner that was improper or unethical and •Clause 31.1 Breaching the policy code of conduct The Bugle also gave Councillor Renkema-Lang the right of reply to explain her View and also what she thought of the censure motion.

Following this, The Bugle has been inundated with feedback and concerns from members of the community regarding the censure motion and the specifics around it.

Members of the community have wide ranging views, though on the whole most agree – the censure was not an appropriate use of Council’s resources, and not an appropriate outcome.

Here are some of excerpts of what the community has said: “I think our community should be outraged to learn that Council is using its code of conduct policy to silence councillors who criticise Council policies and decisions in the media.

Kiama Council’s censuring of Councillor Karen Ren-

kema-Lang for expressing a differing viewpoint and bravely representing her constituency is both shocking and anti-democratic. This intolerance to criticism aligns with Councils move to also silence the precinct committees that have represented community views for more than 30 years. One must ask why free and open exchange of ideas and respect for community views is being curtailed by this increasingly authoritarian Council?”

“I am appalled by Councils decision to censure Councillor Karen Renkema-Lang based on her comments during the 10 minute radio interview attached to todays (sic) article by Brendan Foye.

I am sure the technicality's (sic) of the censure would be supported by some bureaucratic mumbo jumbo but would question why any paid member of councils staff would spend their time and our money when real world issues needing solutions are buried on their desks. Then, again isn't that why Council is in the state that it is in. All show! To compare Karen's very measured and thoughtful comments against some that I, and others I speak to privately hold about council would, by these standards, see us all held in detention awaiting extradition to another council area.”

Whilst there is some spicy language, being journalists, we fiercely defend the right to free speech and to share the Views of the community.

After all, our community is at its best when it is debating big issues like rate payer spending, cost of living, housing affordability and free speech.

But we all agree that all discussions can be undertaken passionately, but also respectfully.

As we have always said, The Bugle is for the community. We are here to give you a platform and to hear what you have to say.

The Bugle Newspaper 2 December 2023 | 5

A WORD FROM KIAMA'S MAYOR NEIL REILLY TALKS DIRECTLY TO RESIDENTS - PERFORMANCE REVIEWS Local Councils often cop a lot of criticism and some of it is fair. While it's important to acknowledge all voices, it's equally crucial to focus on the positive, tangible outcomes of the work we do, day in and day out. At our recent Ordinary Meeting, we endorsed our Annual Report 2022-23, which shows the depth and breadth of what we achieve across the community.

Here are some notable examples and some great feedback from community members and other stakeholders on your council's efforts: Teen heroes: a positive for local programs Our Council's steady support for wonderful local surf clubs, and their nippers programs, trulypaid off in an extraordinary way recently. A group of teenagers, trained through these programs, heroically saved a family of four caught in a rip at Surf Beach. A week earlier, two men from Sydney in distress in the ocean at Jones Beach were saved by local surfers. Both these brave acts occurred outside the hours of our routine surf patrols.

One young rescuer admitted to initial fear, yet their life-saving training prevailed, showcasing remarkable cour-

age and skill. These incidents aren’t just stories of survival; they’re a powerful testament to the real impact of our community’s commitment to safety and training.

Pioneering coastal management: shaping a sustainable future Kiama Council has taken a significant leap in coastal preservation and sustainability by developing a comprehensive Coastal Management Program for our LGA's open coast.

Currently displayed via the Council website’s ‘your say’ section to invite community feedback, this program focuses on identifying and mitigating risks, protecting natural habitats, enhancing recreational spaces, and bolstering our coastline against the imminent challenges of climate change. This initiative represents dedication to both environmental stewardship and public enjoyment.

Collaborative Crown Land Management: forging community partnerships In our ongoing efforts to foster community involvement, Council has endorsed its draft plan for managing Crown Land and submitted it to the NSW department of Planning, Industry and Environment for ministerial approval.

This initiative results from extensive consultations with precincts and associations, committees, tourism and business groups, and the broader community.

I’d also like to share the following recent comments: Cameron McDonald, Chair Kiama and District Business Chamber: “As Council is repairing their finances, they have not forgotten business, as a matter of fact our relationship is stronger than ever.”

By working closely with business owners, we've been able to identify and address their unique needs, fostering an environment where businesses can thrive and, in turn, benefit the wider community. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to ensuring a prosperous, supportive, and interconnected community where businesses and residents alike can flourish.

Gareth Ward MP, State member for the seat of Kiama: “As your local MP, I have four councils that touch our electorate. I can personally attest that Kiama Council do a great job of maintaining roads across our community.

[And] Kiama hasn’t turned to the pockets of its ratepayers to fix its financial challenges.

This is very good news.”

The road repairs necessitated by extreme weather events have been extensive, yet the results promise more durable roads and enhanced safety for travellers. We are grateful to our local members, both State and Federal, for their crucial support in securing the necessary funding.

Lisa Berwick, former Director of Financial Audit Services at the Audit Office of NSW “Kiama Municipal Council's management has done a very good job of moving forward and improving the quality of the working papers and the evidence [needed] to finalise the audit.

It was a huge improvement from 2021. ... We enjoy working with management very much and wwe have a strong relationship in terms of working through what are a myriad of issues.”

We have taken our State-issued Performance Improvement Order (PIO) very seriously.

While the PIO primarily addresses issues of the past, Council has made significant financial strides to not only rectify these issues but also to implement measures that prevent the recurrence of past mistakes.

foreign kiama heroes highlight dangers investor ban

Three recent Surf Rescues that nearly resulted in tragedies in Kiama have highlighted beach dangers, especially in the evenings when beaches aren’t patrolled. All three rescues occurred at night after patrols had stopped, requiring the intervention of nearby surfers.

One major rescue at Surf Beach in Kiama involving six people including two young children aged eight and nine, and another at Jones Beach at Kiama Downs involving an adult were also successful, though tragedy was averted only by seconds at Surf Beach.

The six Kiama locals involved in the rescue at Surf Beach Kiama on Saturday 19 November 2023 were Max Laird, Braith Davidson, George Griffin, Harrison Smee, Alex Norris and Zach Marsden.

They are all members of the Kiama Life Saving Club and realised it was up to them to make the rescue when they heard screaming, as lifeguards had already packed up for the day 20 minutes prior.

The six teens, aged 12 to 15, out in the surf on their boogie boards, reacted

NSW Member for Kiama Gareth Ward has moved a motion that will establish an inquiry into banning foreign ownership of residential property if successful.

Ward cited the need to secure more affordable housing in NSW as the motivation behind the motion.

“Between 1995-96 and 2011-12, the value of foreign investment approvals in Australian real estate increased from $12.4 billion to $59.1 billion. Since 199596, the number of foreign residential investment approvals in Australia has increased from 3,181 to 9,768,” said Ward.

“There are many countries around the world where I can’t purchase land. Why should a foreign investor be able to buy land in NSW if I can’t do the same in their country.”

Foreign investors require approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board to purchase property. In NSW, foreign investors must also pay a foreign surcharge in addition to land tax they would usually pay.

NSW Labor’s Duty MLC for Kiama, Dr Sarah Kaine said that foreign investment is generally a Federal issue, but the State government is focused on what it can do right now. This includes the new $224 million Essential Housing Package, which includes a $70 million financing facility to build more social and affordable housing in regional NSW, $35.3 million for housing services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and $20 million reserved in Restart NSW for dedicated mental health housing.

“The NSW Minns Government takes the housing crisis very seriously and this is just the start,” Dr Kaine said.

BRIEFS Wet weather Kiama residents are warned to be careful following wild storms on 28 and 29 November.

Kiama Council announced that Swamp Road has been closed due to flooding, while a lane on Jamberoo Mountain Road near The Abbey has also been closed.

Overnight rain has transformed Coronation Park into a pond. At least the birds seem to enjoy it!

Surf Beach has also been closed due to rough conditions at sea.

Crooked river

postpones festival

Navigating love 2nd chance run by kids The reality show presented

by Kate Langbroek and aired on Channel 9, 'My Mum,

Crooked River Wines’ Dave Ferrit Festival has been postponed until next year, adding to the list of festivals in the Kiama LGA that have been called off.

Crooked River Wines did not give a reason as to why the festival was cancelled, and a spokesperson confirmed that the winery will not be issuing any statement.

However, the spokesperson said a new date would be announced in the new year.

One ticket holder who called the winery was told that Crooked River Wines did not plan to inform customers about the postponement, and that the ticket booking agency would be responsible for notifying ticket holders.

The Bugle has seen a notification from booking agency Oztix informing punters about the postponement, stating that ticket holders would not be refunded and would instead be honoured

with tickets to Crooked River’s Winter Wine Festival in June 2024. The notification also advised that Dave Ferrit headliners Icehouse, Alex Lloyd and Ash Grunwald will still be performing at the Winter Festival.

A play on the phrase “a day for it,” the Dave Ferrit Festival was supposed to take place on 2 & 3 December in Gerringong as a joint venture between Crooked River Wines and Better Beer. The festival was to be headlined

by DMAs, Icehouse, Jack River, Alex Lloyd and Ash Grunwald.

The postponement follows after the Kiamasala Festival that was supposed to take place on 5 November 2023 was indefinitely postponed due to unfavourable weather conditions. The Gerringong Christmas Parade for 2023 was also called off.

Your Dad' takes viewers on a by their grown-up kids seek unique journey of love, where a second chance at finding single parents nominated love. The twist? Their every move is watched by their kids from a nearby location, and all the dating decisions are also made by their kids, adding a layer of trust and intrigue to the quest for true love. Janine is one of seven women and six men to enter a luxury "retreat", nominated by their children to experience real connections, heartbreak, and hopefully love.

At 53, Janine Francis, an attractive and statuesque aged care nurse from Gerringong, entered the show nominated by her daughter Tiarn, 22.

Despite her ability to attract dates, Janine struggled to find the right match on dating apps. With specific criteria for her perfect man in mind, such as being visually appealing, fun, and a non-smoker without baggage, Janine embarked on a 10-day luxury retreat filmed for the show.

Speaking to The Bugle about their experience, Janine and Tiarn shared that it was a positive lead-up to the show. During the retreat, they met numerous like-minded individuals, forming bonds that will last a lifetime.

Adjusting to constant camera scrutiny, Janine remarked,

'You get used to the cameras – after a while it becomes normal.”

While on the show, Janine and Tiarn discovered their hidden strengths. Janine reflected, “I have realised that I can do things that I didn’t think I could.” Tiarn echoed this sentiment, emphasising the personal growth experienced by pushing themselves outside their comfort zones.

The Blessing Ceremony, aired on 20 November, emerged as the pinnacle moment for both Janine and Tiarn. This finale event brought parents and children together, allowing approval or disapproval of the final couples. Janine and Simmo made it to the end, with Janine expressing, “Simmo is a great guy and deserves love.”

Despite the connection forged on the show, the geographical distance between them proved challenging for Janine and Simmo, so they now remain friends. Fortunately, Janine has found new love in August. Both Janine and Tiarn recommend the show to other prospective singles. “It’s been a very positive experience,” they agreed.

As Janine embarks on a new chapter in her love life, The Bugle wishes her all the best. 'My Mum, Your Dad' not only brought entertaining moments but also valuable lessons on love, resilience, and self-discovery.

Peace Park

council to help purchase shed

K nurture i a m community a L i oparkn s Kiama Council will look for funds to help build a new storage facility for gardening equipment used by volunteers to maintain Peace Park on Manning Street.

The park is unofficially managed by three volunteer groups, the Illawarra Rose Society, Kiama Garden Society and the Friends of Peace Park, who volunteer their time and tools to maintain the park. Volunteers and neighbours have also taken over responsibility of mowing the grass, as Council services were too stretched too thin to cut the grass.

However, volunteers find it difficult lugging all of their equipment, including lawn mowers and other gardening tools, to and from the park.

The groups jointly requested a storage facility be erected so volunteers can store their equipment onsite, allowing them to maintain the park at any time of day without needing to return home first.

Colin Hollis, spokesperson for Peace Park’s volunteer groups, said they recently received a small community grant from the Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona

remaining in Kiama still represents the largest area of subtropical rainforest in south eastern Australia and Seven Mile Beach has an amazingly diverse association of Endangered Ecological Communities. “ Howard also referenced the loss of the endangered species of ziera granulata along Saddleback roads, and melaleuca but also referenced Barren Ground Nature reserve near Jamberoo as a success with its 500 species of plants and 180 birds recorded, and many species of frog including the green and golden bell frog. Bush walkers often comment on the area being full of flowers in season.

Howard Jones also said after the talk: “I don’t feel sad because that wouldn’t affect change.

It’s important that the community, especially the decision makers, are aware of what we have and value, love and care for this beautiful environment. Ignorance and indifference are the greatest threat.”

The Remnants art exhibition’s theme highlights what is left from our precious rainforest, and various other local environments with many endangered species of plants and animals.

Many of the colours used in the creation of the art in the exhibition were made from local materials.

The three artists behind the exhibition are Penny Sadubin, Tim Rushby-Smith, and Sue Blanchfield.

Penny Sadubin is a local Gerringong artist who did her BFA at UNSW in 1994, and her Master of Teaching Secondary Visual Arts in 2021 at UOW. She was based in London between 1996 and 2013.

Tim Rushby-Smith is a journalist and author who wrote a memoir ‘Looking Up’ published in 2008 after a fall from a tree in 2005 resulted in permanent paraplegia. He has been published in many Australian and British publications and wrote a second book ‘Beyond the Break’. He has exhibited his art at the Shoalhaven Regional Gallery in 2023 and Hazelhurst Art Centre in 2021.

Susan Blanchfield uses printmaking on paper and cloth, using eucalyptus dyes and her work was shown in Lodz Poland in 2004. She trained at the National Art School in Sydney from 1966 to 1969 and completed her Master of Creative Arts at the University of Wollongong in 1998.

“The festival is very much about joy, celebrating the spirit of Jesus together through music, art and even simple fellowship,” Wicky said.

The theme was Romans 116 “Be not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.”

Wicky is a multi-denominational faith teacher, or Christian Education Teacher, at local schools including Kiama High School, and is a member of a local Anglican congregation.

Over 21 different churches were represented by teens turning up as volunteers or to enjoy the music, including Catholic, Anglican and Uniting and Evangelical churches, with ticket holders traveling from Wollongong, Shoalhaven and the Southern Highlands and Sydney.

The festival had two stages, the main one in the Pavilion and a second stage at the Anglican Church Hall.

Notable additions to the music were Ben Pakula with his Kids Acts entertainment and an inspirational speaker Mark Roberts, who has been a pastor at Wollongong Baptist Church for eight years, with fun outdoor activities on the oval as it dried.

occur is a serious problem.

This reasoning contributed to Council’s decision to shelve the West Kiama urban expansion.

The imperative to protect Kiama’s high-quality farmland will come into sharper focus as agriculture in the Murray Darling Basin declines due to climate change. The Murray Darling is Australia’s food bowl and provides 40% of our food and fibre production.

In 2008 economist Professor Ross Garnaut said that agriculture was the most affected sector in the economy when it comes to climate change. He warned that unless we address climate change we can expect a possible 92% reduction in irrigated agriculture in the Murray Darling and, even if we managed to stabilise Co2 at 450ppm, we can expect a 20% reduction.

Co2 levels in the atmosphere were 385ppm in 2008 when he spoke these words now they are 417ppm and rising!

So, we need to reconfigure our planning priorities. Kiama’s volcanic soils are unique and should be considered as a resource to be protected for future food production not covered with houses.

Yes, we need more houses but they can be located in quarries, on lands with little agricultural value or through sensitive urban consolidation.

The Kiama Village parking area is anticipated to open only at the end of December, potentially delayed by two or more weeks.

At the heart of the crisis is the diminishing availability of long-term parking options for both locals and visitors.

Recent announcements by the Kiama Council regarding the sale of the pedestrian access between the Akuna Street car park and Edessa Arcade have sparked concerns among businesses in Edessa Arcade, such as Debbie at Kerrys and the proprietor of Knickerbockers.

The gravity of the situation is evident in expressions like "The chickens have come home to roost," reflecting the shared sentiment that Kiama is ill-prepared for the parking challenges anticipated during the summer of 2023/2024.

The Bugle reports interactions with locals in Edessa Arcade, where a Kiama

councillor suggested utilising the long-term car park at the back of Hindmarsh Park for workers. However, practicality issues were raised, particularly for individuals with limited mobility and pensioners who may find the distant walk inconvenient.

Moreover, the limited capacity of this alternative parking space poses additional challenges.

The absence of long-term planning is manifesting in stress for residents, impacting appointments, especially medical ones, where available parking is often limited to half an hour. The Bugle notes that in 2021, the Kiama Council conducted a Traffic and Parking study, concluding that no new car parking was needed, emphasising a walking problem rather than a parking problem. However, the Council has yet to adopt the 2021 traffic report, indicating a lack of a formal policy position.

As the town approaches December 2023, the parking landscape differs significantly from two years ago, with diminished capacity and critical spaces like the Kiama Woolworths car park, Akuna south car park, and the main Akuna car park facing closures. The Bugle invites public responses to proposed solutions, including the possibility of a park-and-ride bus service, residents charging for off-road parking, and the consideration of a parking amnesty over the summer.

Key questions for public reflection include whether Kiama is indeed facing a parking crisis if there has been insufficient long-term planning, and whether the Council should plan emergency parking options for the upcoming summer holidays. Additionally, residents are encouraged to suggest names for the unnamed lane from Akuna Park to Edessa Arcade, a vital pedestrian route for those seeking long-term parking solutions.

Submissions regarding the lane's closure can be made until 5 pm on 1 December.

STRIDES FORWARD IN WASTE NSW Labor REDUCTION Government to override councils for more three-to-six storey buildings The NSW Labor Government has announced major changes that will allow local councils to fast-track approvals for more three-to-six storey buildings like terraces, townhouses, and apartment blocks.

The reforms will override individual council’s own planning policies, which the State Government says don’t allow for the types of homes needed to address the housing shortage crisis.

The changes will allow for dual occupancies in all R2 low density residential zones in NSW, terraces, townhouses and two-storey apartment blocks near transport hubs and town centres in R2 zones, and mid-rise apartment blocks in R3 medium density zones if they’re near a transport hub or town centre.

The NSW Government needs to amend the State Environmental Planning Policy before the changes are enacted and will also encourage

individual councils to approve more of these types of homes.

The plans will go on public exhibition for comments next week.

NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said the reforms would create the capacity to build up to 112,000 new homes, nearly 30 per cent of the number of new homes targeted by 2029 under the Housing Accord.

It’s auspicious timing for Kiama Council, who this week voted to make changes to the Kiama Centre Planning Proposal that will allow for buildings up to six storeys high to be developed in some parts of the town centre.

A Kiama Council spokesperson said KMC will focus on engaging with the community on the broader concept of growth and development of the LEP. Part of that will include a community engagement process early next year to create a Housing and Growth Strategy and to

Buying an orange, segmented and wrapped in plastic in our supermarkets is one of the tragedies of modern packaging. Kiama MP Gareth Ward says, “Our community is rightly concerned about our environment and ensuring a cleaner and sustainable future. Reducing waste and particularly plastics that end up in our pristine waterways and landfill is something I back and I know our community does too. “ The Environment Ministers' recent decision to transition from voluntary to mandatory national packaging targets is a pivotal move applauded by the local recycling group Boomerang Allireview the current LEP, and ance. The organisation eagerly anticipates the subsequent phase, which involves implementing will investigate options for a comprehensive collection and reprocessing improvements to housing scheme to significantly reduce plastic in the diversity and supply.

Wollongong University has also made significant progress in combatting environmental pollution and promoting sustainable living by their ban on since single-use plastic items such as cutlery and plates on campus, initiated over a year ago through its ‘Sustainable Plate’ initiative.

This practice helped the food court divert 13,000 takeaway containers from ending up in landfill in the past year and a further 9,000 containers at the UniBar in just three months.

This means 22,000 pieces of unnecessary single-use plastic did not end up in landfill or in our waterways.

Minister for the Illawarra and the South Coast Ryan Park says, “Taking sensible steps towards reducing our plastic footprint is important for the future of NSW,” adding, “You can help shape the further reduction of problematic plastic to help tackle the pollution crisis by sharing your thoughts and ideas on the Next Steps paper by 4 February 2024.”

“Australia has an opportunity to be a leader in waste management and reducing our footprint.

Used sensibly, waste can end up being anything from road base through to alternative sources of energy.

“We don’t inherit this plant from our parents, we borrow it from our children. Decisions like this one will make a big difference and speak volumes about our collective recognition that we must do better when it comes to waste management and our protection of our unique and pristine environment.”

The SevenMarks Gallery is set to mark its first anniversary with the unveiling of a captivating exhibition titled "COLOUR & SPACE," running from November 18 to January 27, 2024. This immersive showcase delves into the profound role of colour and space in shaping our understanding of the world and its impact on human emotions.

Colour, as a fundamental aspect of the human experience, plays a pivotal role in defining our perception and interaction with the surroundings. The exhibition aims to celebrate the dynamic interplay of light and form, showcasing how this interaction can provoke significant effects on our understanding

COLOUR & SPACE

and emotional responses.

Featuring a curated collection of works by acclaimed, local contemporary artists, "COLOUR & SPACE" brings together the creative expressions of Phil Spelman, Scott Chaseling, Mikey Freedom, Matt Heaney, Chick Butcher, Cesar Cueva, and Cobi Cockburn. Hailing from diverse artistic backgrounds, these artists explore the power of colour to communicate feelings, ideas, and evoke visceral responses.

The exhibition invites viewers to embark on a journey

through the rich history of colour, examining its capacity to connect with the everyday and elicit profound emotional reactions. Through innovative explorations in composition and object-making, the artists delve into the ways humans experience and interact with colour, space, and light in their daily lives.

The 7 Marks Gallery, is a collaboration founded by Nina and Cesar Cueva along with Chick Butcher and Cobi Cockburn on their property and has become a vibrant hub for artistic expression in its first year. The Cueva’s also run Courtesy of the Artist in the Strand arcade, Sydney also where their hallmark jewellery is crafted. Cesar Cueva, renowned as a studio photographer and jewellery maker, brings his unique perspective to the exhibition.

Recent exhibitions at the gallery showcased tattoo art and jewellery, demonstrating the versatile artistic range locally.

The premises, built by Chick and Cobi combine home, studio and exhibition space and have undergone a transformative process over 12 years. Notable features include a lap pool ingeniousMikey Freedom in front of his oil on canvas A Table Set Before ly crafted from repurposed Me shipping containers, free-

range chickens, and landscaped garden spaces.

The entire gallery project has been orchestrated on their own terms, involving collaborations with artists whose homes resemble museums, filled to the brim with an impressive array of artistic works. Local artists are encouraged to exhibit overseas also. The inaugural year presented a challenging learning curve, as the intricate details of managing such a unique space unfolded.

Dealing with artists, known for their distinctive needs and preferences, proved to be a demanding yet rewarding experience. Chick says, “artists are a needy bunch”.

Despite the challenges, a strong sense of camaraderie prevails among the individuals involved. The collaborative effort has fostered a community where everyone genuinely cares for each other, contributing to the overall success of this extraordinary venture.

The "COLOUR & SPACE" exhibition not only marks a significant milestone in the gallery's first-year journey but also serves as a testament to its commitment to presenting thought-provoking and visually stunning art to the community. They hope the

audience that enjoyed the last tattoo exhibition LINK may return to try something different – encouraging people to explore different options. The gallery's founders, along with exhibiting artists, invite art enthusiasts and the public alike to join in the celebration of this exploration into the intricate relationship between colour, space, and human experience.

Kiama Carols return Festive Christmas to Hindmarsh Park Market at Pavilion Hark the heralds and deck the halls! After a few years’ absence, Kiama is gearing up for the return of ‘Carols in the Park’ – set to take place at Hindmarsh Park from 6pm on Wednesday 20 December. Presented by Kiama Leagues Club, the free twilight event promises plenty of fun and festive favourites for the whole family.

Music Director Brendon Comber is excited about bringing Carols back to central Kiama. “It’s always been a popular event on the calendar, yet for a mix of reasons, it hasn’t happened for a few years. But we’re returning with a bang – a true family-friendly mix of live band music, choirs and local performers including Blessie Pica and Woody, plus food trucks and stalls.”

The jolly man himself is even rumoured to be making an appearance. “It wouldn’t be Carols without a visit from Santa,” Comber says.

“So, while his sleigh is still getting its annual tune up, we’ve arranged for Kiama Fire & Rescue to deliver him to the event.”

With an emphasis on playing all the Christmas classics – old and new – the event will offer something

for all ages. “It’s always a great time of year to come together as a community,” says Sally Bursell, Tourism & Events Manager of Destination Kiama. “And being just five days before Christmas, it’s a nice little festive recharge before we move into our peak visitor season. We thank Kiama Leagues Club for taking on

this initiative and hope the community turns out for a wholesome picnic in the park … and maybe a last chance to get on Santa’s good list!”

So, come all ye faithful fans of Christmas Carols and enjoy a not-so-silent night of music and merriment to kick off the holidays.

Protecting our coastal ecosystem from rock platform abuse

Inhabitants of the north and southeast beaches are facing a growing concern as resident Tess Donovan sheds light on the deteriorating condition of the local rock platforms. A frequent visitor to these scenic spots, Tess has been dismayed by the recurring scenes of environmental neglect that she encounters during her visits.

The rock platforms, once pristine havens of natural beauty, are now marred by the aftermath of irresponsible behaviour. Tess recounts disturbing scenes of litter strewn across the rocks -cigarette butts, plastic containers, discarded bait, fishing gear remnants, and even

toxic glow sticks left behind.

The source of this pollution appears to be primarily from rock fishermen and women, with Tess noting a spike in such incidents after weekends or school holidays.

The gravity of the situation hit Tess even harder during her recent visit when she discovered not only another distressing litter scene but also the sad sight of undersized marine species left to perish on the rocks. Among the casualties were a port Jackson shark, banjo shark, and multiple stingrays, all of them infants or undersized.

Despite Tess's efforts to address the issue by reaching out to the Council and

Fisheries through email, she is yet to receive a response.

Frustrated by the lack of action, she expresses, "I personally find it incredibly distressing to find such a precious ecosystem so regularly violated."

This urgent call for action aims to raise local awareness and prompt practical suggestions to safeguard our local environment and marine life. It's time to unite as a community and ensure the preservation of these coastal ecosystems for current and future generations.

Evolving allyship with Aunty Munya An Indigenous social enterprise named Evolve Community with strong local links has won the Telstra Best of Business Award in the Building Community category in NSW for 2023.

Telstra described Evolve Communities as a trusted provider of cultural awareness training and allyship accreditation.

The success of its programs is centred in the partnership of an Indigenous and non-indigenous team led by the two Co-Directors who are Indigenous, Aunty Munya Andrews and non-Indigenous Carla Rogers.

Carla and Aunty Munya told The Bugle they are delighted to have their work recognised with a Telstra Best of Business Award and look forward to meeting their fellow State winners. You

can see them unboxing their prize from Telstra from their facebook account Evolve communities here.

Evolve Communities is now in the running to win the national Telstra award, to be announced next February.

Aunty Munya is a Bardi elder originally from the Kimberley, and Carla has strong family ties to Kiama.

Aunty Munya recently released a picture book called Ask Aunty; Seasons teaching about First Nations seasons.

They have worked together for 12 years with a range of business clients nationally including IBM, Woolworths and a number of government organisations.

One of the main resources they teach are known as the 7 Steps to Reconciliation and Allyship; to be confident to build relationships with

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples; to help close the gap and to move forward as a nation learning from Indigenous wisdom.

Aunty Munya has had great success teaching language and discussing Indigenous culture on their popular TikTok account which you can check out here.

Maria, Carla and Aunty Manya are focused on building allyship across Australia and sharing the Indigenous cultural experience and local language to non-Indigenous Australians.

One of their popular activities has been yarning circle workshops with businesses.

One simple way non-Indigenous people can show allyship is to use local Indigenous language in everyday conversation, in the way Maori phrases like Kia Ora

Scan for menu Open 7 days

are used by all New Zealanders, not just Maori.

A local Indigenous woman, Dr Jodi Edwards, has published a book called Dharawal Words, Phrases and Activities, with some common Dharawal phrases such as Nagangbi for ‘hello’ and Nandawanjing for ‘see you later.’

Other local Indigenous enterprises are thriving with Waminda with their Black Cede enterprise selling handmade products from the Shoalhaven who had a stall at the Kiama Christmas Markets recently, and Gumaraa from Albion Park who are a frequent part of Kiama events.

Saddleback Cup Fun Kiama SLSC hosted the Saddleback Cup on Sunday 26 November, an annual surf carnival between Gerringong, Kiama Downs and Kiama Surf Clubs for nippers aged from as young as 5 up to 14.

Perfect conditions made for a memorable morning that gave many nippers their first taste of competing for their club in a friendly, teams-only event.

A mixture of relay races including swimming, board paddling, rescues, wading and running meant that all the nippers had a chance to compete in age appropriate events.

Mayor Reilly attended to conclude the event with the Surf Carnival Classic - the all ages relay – where a competitor from each age group, for a total of nine in each relay team, go headto-head. Not to be outdone, the parents then lined up for what proved to be the loudest, most competitive race of the day for a nine-person parent relay!

The opportunity to yell at the parents was not missed by any of the kids.

While definitely a friendly competition, points were kept and Kiama managed to edge out Gerringong by four points in the nippers competition with Kiama Downs in third.

However, the parent relay was convincingly won by Gerringong and then Kiama Downs. We’re looking forward to seeing that race get more competitive with each passing year!

A huge thanks to all the parent volunteers from all the clubs who made the event possible and of course, Kiama’s fantastic BBQ crew who had no small task feeding so many hungry kids.

After a recount we can confirm Gerringong won, secured by the final race of the day, the parent relay!

Congrats Gerringong!

G e r r i n g o n g P o o l On this rock we stand too rustic?

The Gerringong Rock Pool has recently come under criticism for its lack of amenities.

The Bugle received a call out from a Bugle Blower, so we engaged in a bit of Sherlocking to see what’s what.

The Bugle Blower sent a letter criticising the lack of amenities, particularly the lack of change rooms and access to the pool. However when The Bugle visited the area, it seemed the typical beach rustic charm you expect in such a place.

Check out the photos online and let us know if

you think the amenities at Gerringong Rock Pool need improving.

We briefly spoke to a visitor, Candy from Western Australia, who was enjoying some quiet sunshine overlooking the pool. She expressed satisfaction with the amenities, including the changing facilities which are basically an extension of the public toilet facility She said it was much the same rustic beach you see anywhere in Australia by the coast, and had not observed anything dangerous or needing repairs.

Why is my vision blurry under water?

When we look far away, our eye has to make the light focus on the back of the eye to give clear vision. The average eye is about 22.5mm long, similar to a golf ball. To make light come to focus in such a short distance requires a lot of focussing power. In the human eye, about two thirds of that power is supplied by the front clear tissue of the eye, the cornea. The cornea is curved, and is made of a material that bends light about the same as water does (refractive index). So, when light moves from the air in front of the eye to the cornea, the curvature and the refractive index of the cornea cause the light to focus.

There is a railing to assist entry into the pool, but it is choked with shells and sand which would seem to be normal under the conditions.

Why not send in your Bugle Blower Alert and we at the Bugle will check it out!

Send us your ideas that you think should be investigated, even if it is sighting of an unusual aerial phenomenon or something from the X-Files, we will check it out! If you require, we will respect your confidentiality.

One of the things that defines Kiama, the very bedrock of our identity as it were, is our local unique geology from the volcanic rock which flowed and cooled about 260 million years ago and a second time 66 million years ago.

The Kiama Blowhole has been carved over a unknown length of time out of that basalt that formed from those flows, the basalt from our quarries has been exported by rail and sea for building materials for more than 150 years, and the volcanic soils that crumbled from that lava allows the Illawarra Brush full of cedar and which enriches our farming soils.

While Kiama only has two blowholes, it is entirely possible more can form over time.

The basalt quarries show the basalt formed into distinct columns, which reminded the Northern Irish settlers of their home and the world famous Giants Causeway of Northern Ireland. Kiama has many quarries repurposed as sporting fields and even as gardening centres, but Bombo has 2 very large active quarries, the State Rail quarry (for the crushed

rock that supports the rail lines throughout NSW) and the Boral quarry (for general building material, concrete and road building bases).

Both quarries are winding down slowly, and at some point will be available to be repurposed for other purposes like the many other former quarries around Kiama .

The main flows happened 240 and 66 million years ago, mainly from an undersea volcano some hundreds of kilometres off the coast (apparently it is still there, which is why tsunami early warning is part of local emergency training!) but also from Saddleback Mountain.

Its distinctive shape is a collapsed volcanic vent and rather large volcanic tubes have been found on Saddleback Mountain whose locations are not publicly available.

In fact Kiama has been listed as having some of the richest and special soil in Australia, something that has been raised often in the past when the idea of turning our local farms into housing has been argued and debated.

There is even a World Geological Heritage Site at

Bombo Headland (allowing no construction of any kind) related to the Kiama Magnetic Reversal Chronic Event . This is important to world geology as when these rocks in several dykes cooled, especially the feldspar crystals, the magnetic poles were flipping, and this event was recorded in the rocks as they cooled. In addition some of the xenoliths (rocks brought up from the mantle) from 80 kilometres below are completely unique and not found anywhere else.

It is quite possible a lot of the rock crushed and sent to Sydney by ship at the Bombo Headland quarry preserve this effect in their structures.

This was the first proof that the magnetic poles do flip and so a very important discovery in 1923.

A permanent conservation order was placed on Bombo headland in1983 and it was places on the State Heritage Register in 1999.

Kiama’s identity is very much from the bedrock of the ancient volcanic flows that our farlands and community are nestled in.

When we are under water, the light entering the eye is coming from water, not air, so it doesn’t get focussed as much by the cornea.

That is why the vision Is blurry. As you know, putting on goggles or a diving mask means there is a layer of air in front of the eye again, and makes the vision clearer.

If you have any concerns with your vision please make an appointment by giving us a call or head to eyeq.com.au and book online.

EV tax sting

The Bugle published an article on 19 October about the High Court overturning the EV tax.

Professor John Quiggin, in his blog on 20 October, has added his thoughts on this decision. Here are the main points: “It’s good the High Court overturned Victoria’s questionable EV tax. But there’s a sting in the tail” For anyone concerned with the need to decarbonise transport – or with sound economic policy – [the 18 October] High Court ruling might seem like good news.

The court ruled Victoria’s tax on road use for zero and low-emissions vehicles was unconstitutional, after two electric car drivers challenged the state’s ability to impose excise-type levies.

But given the High Court’s previous track record on constitutional interpretation, there’s a grave danger this decision will be extended to rule out any kind of road user charge. It threatens many other state levies too, from luxury cars to mining royalties.

Why was Victoria’s tax so bad? EV drivers don’t buy petrol or diesel, which means they avoid the fuel excise that other drivers pay – and which pays for road maintenance. That’s why Victoria introduced its EV road user charge, which cost owners about two cents per kilometre driven.

Despite this plausible-sounding rationale, the road user charge was terrible policy, both environmentally and economically. A tax specific to electric vehicles could

only slow their adoption, at a time when early adopters need to be encouraged.

And in economic terms, the policy rested on a misunderstanding of economics. The tax was supposed to address a “distortion” in the incentives generated when electric vehicle drivers paid less to use the roads than internal combustion engine vehicle drivers.

But the government’s reasoning didn’t take into account a central principle of economic policy – the theory of the second-best.

Drivers who fill up with petrol, gas or diesel don’t bear the social and environmental costs of their choices in the form of carbon dioxide and other pollutants emitted, or the cost of the damage done to our lungs.

So by taxing EVs, you make traditional car drivers better off – and that leads to worse social outcomes overall.

In recent decades, the High Court has been taking ever more expansive interpretations of Section 90 of the Constitution, which prevents state governments from “imposing duties of customs or of excise”.

In doing so, they have created large headaches for state and territory leaders, who have propped up state finances with an assortment of taxes, excise schemes and other charges that could now be subject to legal challenge.

Did the High Court just kill road user charges entirely?

Victoria’s law was a bad one.

But other road user charges can be very useful, as a way

to discourage overuse of private vehicles, charge heavy drivers more, or speed up the shift to clean, quiet EVs. The reasoning of the High Court majority – which held that the Victorian charge wasn’t related to the cost of providing roads – leaves some hope that a broader road user charge might pass muster.

But to the extent that different kinds of vehicles were charged differently, it seems entirely possible the court might rule that road user charges are an unconstitutional excise. And the recent tendency of the court has been to push logical consistency up to, and beyond, the limits of reason.

It may be that the only way to replace our current fuel taxes with road user charges will be through a uniform charge imposed by the Commonwealth.

There may be some creative alternatives. One way to resolve the problem might be to turn all roads into “virtual” toll roads, charging drivers based on use and converting state transport departments into government business enterprises.

For the moment, we can be grateful the Victorian government’s misguided and muddled tax policy has been scrapped – and a barrier to EV uptake is gone. But the High Court’s decision has flagged the need for urgent action at the national level to work out a consistent policy.

Putting business on the map with EV chargers

Electric vehicle (EV) chargers are becoming the game-changer for businesses, putting them on the map - quite literally.

The popularity of EVs continues to grow thanks to being cheaper to run than internal combustion engines, are quieter on the road and reduce air pollution. However, it appears that the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) among potential buyers has encountered a slowdown, compared to expectations.

This can be attributed to a deficiency in the nationwide charging infrastructure, which has failed to keep pace with the increasing demand for electric vehicles.

Having recognised the lack of EV charging stations the NSW government, to their credit, is now accelerating their efforts to fill the gap in EV charging infrastructure, particularly in regional areas.

The government’s EV Strategy includes a plan to support motorists to make their next vehicle an EV. It hopes to do this by making Donna Portland NSW the easiest place to buy and drive an EV in Australia.

Welcome news for EV drivers, and for the environment, under the strategy, is that stamp duty on EVs will be phased out, and drivers will have access to a world-class road network of ultra-fast charging stations. However, there is much work to do!

A priority in this plan is guaranteed widespread EV charging across NSW, so the NSW government is investing $20 million to assist eligible regional NSW businesses and councils by co-funding the purchase and installation of EV chargers at eligible sites. This funding is available through the Drive electric NSW EV destination charging grant.

The grant covers 75 per cent of the costs of an EV charger, which is a significant incentive for businesses, and so far, 167 sites across regional NSW have been successful in taking advantage of this.

The government’s EV Strategy investment includes co-investing in ultra-fast chargers at minimum 100 A tax on electric vehicles could act to keep internal combustion cars on the roads longer. km intervals across all major NSW highways – creating

thebuglenewspaper.com.au

‘EV Super-Highways’ across the State. Additionally, the strategy is aiming to ensure that households right across Sydney have no more than 5 km to drive to the next ultra-fast EV charger, creating ‘EV Commuter Corridors’ right across the city. The government is also supporting private industry to build new ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure in areas where drivers are not able to access private off-street parking about 30 percent of drivers.

Businesses need to consider that an EV charger can put their business on the map - literally. Now that more drivers are switching to EVs, and they are planning their trips around EV charging locations. So it is likely that any business that includes an EV charger is more likely to attract visitation.

Applications close on Friday 3 May 2024 so there is time to investigate and get access to part of the $20 million available in the current funding round.

The Bugle spoke to the owners of Silos Estate near Berry, who were ahead of the pack when they installed their first EV charger in 2007, and then some ‘destination chargers’ in 2011.

Finally they installed a bank of six Tesla Superchargers in 2017, and now have a total of 14 charging stations on site!

Rajarshi and Sophie said, “We didn't install them for financial reasons.

We chose to do it for two reasons (a) to bring more people to our region (these are all new people - without the charging infrastructure they wouldn't be coming here) and (b) to be part of the solution in terms of decarbonisation.”

Some welcome news for existing and potential EV drivers from Jenny Aitchison, the Minister for Regional Transport: “It is great news that as a result of

the NSW Government’s partnership with the NRMA we will deliver 25 additional fast chargers throughout regional NSW. The charger locations have been chosen strategically to connect major centres within the state and also to link up with major routes in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.”

“In the last year, EV registrations have risen more than 140 per cent on average across NSW and with new charging infrastructure we are making it easier for drivers to travel longer, cleaner journeys.

“This is a significant improvement for regional transport and in key regional hubs, like Wollongong where there is now a 150kW charger, which has an even greater and faster charging capacity to get people moving more quickly.

The installation of new charging stations seems to be limited to Wollongong, with Kiama still lacking these essential facilities.

This is particularly noteworthy considering the high influx of tourists to the area.

It's surprising that Kiama, a popular destination, has not yet seen the implementation of EV chargers to cater to the growing demand in this region. This presents an excellent opportunity for local businesses.

Ms Mills highlighted the website's critical role: “The evidence on this website will be used to inform national initiatives to address family, domestic and sexual violence, including early intervention and assistance for children and young people, and monitor changes in service use and outcomes over time.”

Local MP Gareth Ward has commented, “As a former Minister for Family and Community Services, and as a local MP, I have seen first hand the scourge of domestic and family violence.

“All of us have a role in calling out domestic and family violence but using data better can help us provide the best possible services and even provide more targeted early intervention measures.

“The Australian Institute for Health and Welfare should be commended for this initiative. I would encourage the NSW Government to better use the data it has for a range of interventions. The Forecasting Future Outcomes Report tells us that just 7 per cent of children will comprise 50 per cent of the welfare budget by the time they are 40. Better connecting departmental data, from crime statistics including Domestic and Family Violence information, to homelessness and child protection can help us better respond to protecting some of the most vulnerable and even identify early signs of challenge, disadvantage and tumult.”

Gerringong's Bridgerton High Tea delights the "Gerringong Ton"

On a delightful Saturday afternoon, the Gerringong Library played host to sixty distinguished ladies and gentlemen for a spectacular event - the Bridgerton High Tea. Transforming the library into a scene of elegance, tables adorned with flowers and decorations set the stage for an unforgettable experience. The usual quiet ambiance of the library gave way

to the enchanting melodies of harpist Yasmine Russell, who skillfully played contemporary renditions, adding a touch of sophistication to the affair.

The Gerringong Committee of the Children's Medical Research Institute provided the high tea, a delectable spread that not only pleased the palate but also contributed to a wonderful cause. Guests engaged in a scandalously intriguing mystery game, aimed at unveiling the identity of the elusive gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, cleverly concealed among them.

The crowd, magnificent in their spring formal attire, some even embracing the charm of the Regency era with exquisite costumes, made the event a visual feast. Prizes were bestowed upon the best-dressed attendees, and a lucky door prize added an element of excitement.

As the afternoon unfolded, praises poured in, with attendees declaring it the event of the season. Comments such as "Wonderful! All around fabulous," and "Obviously a lot of work put into setting up the event. Well done librarians!" echoed the sentiment of a

well-executed and thoroughly enjoyed occasion.

The event was not only lauded for its organisation but also for the delightful mystery theme, capturing the spirit of the Bridgerton era. Attendees expressed gratitude for the opportunity to step into character, declaring it a source of joy and laughter.

A sentiment of appreciation for the excellent value for money, the variety of teas, and the overall sense of community permeated the feedback. The beauty of the setting was acknowledged, and attendees expressed pleasure in experiencing the library in a new and unexpected way.

For those who missed this enchanting affair, the opportunity to immerse oneself in Regency romance remains.

A suggestion to tap into the allure of Julia Quinn or Georgette Heyer novels available at the library provides a fitting conclusion to this tale of a splendid and unexpected community gathering.

Cin Cin – the new wine bar at the little blowhole

The new wine bar, 'Cin Cin,' situated at the little blowhole, 6/4 Tingira Crescent Kiama, is set to be a delightful addition to the local scene.

Owned by Michael and Melanie, the establishment will be open from Thursday to Sunday, serving both lunch and dinner. They are aiming to launch on Friday 8 December and welcome locals to pop in to meet them and check it out.

Embracing the essence of a true wine bar, 'Cin Cin' boasts a diverse selection of wines, featuring popular choices and occasional enticing specials to add interest. The culinary offerings primarily revolve around grazing platters, including the classic Ploughman's board, cheese plates, and charcuterie boards. Additionally, patrons can indulge in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean-inspired platters, perfectly complementing the exquisite wine selection.

For those with a sweet tooth, a small array of tempting desserts will grace the menu, alongside a carefully curated list of classic cocktails. It's important to note that 'Cin Cin' is not a restau-

rant; it's a genuine wine bar experience. The modern-day term "Cin Cin," meaning 'cheers' in Italian, encapsulates the spirit the proprietors aim to foster. There are mixed stories about the origin but there is a Mandarin phrase “quing quing" which was historically used in drinking and toasting rituals in China. It was then imported to Europe after European merchants came back from travelling to Asia. They adapted the unfamiliar pronunciation to "cin cin" possibly because it reminded them of the sound of clinking glasses.

Originating from the western part of Sydney, Michael and Melanie bring a rich multicultural influence to their offerings, ensuring a delightful fusion of flavours in both food and wine.

So, mark your calendars and get ready to raise your glasses at 'Cin Cin' for a toast to a splendid wine bar experience! They look forward to meeting you in due course and hope that you can come to their opening on Friday 8 December.

'Unforgettable Cake' tackles cognitive decline with a sweet twist UNSW experts Professors Johannes le Coutre and Kaarin Anstey, in collaboration with Meals on Wheels NSW, have introduced 'The Unforgettable Cake' to raise awareness about cognitive decline among seniors.

Crafted by renowned pastry chef Christopher Thé, this brain-friendly treat underscores the role of nutrition in cognitive health.

Professor le Coutre, drawing on his expertise in food and nutrition science, embraced the challenge of creating a cake beneficial to cognition. Addressing concerns like dysphagia, they curated a list of scientifically supported ingredients, minimizing sugar and ensuring a texture suitable for older individuals.

Featuring natural ingredients recognized for cognitive benefits—beetroot, spinach, turmeric, olive oil, and blueberries—The Unforgettable Cake was developed in consultation with experts. Natural sweeteners like honey and a vanilla ermine frosting, known for anti-inflammatory properties, enhance the cake. Topped with fresh blueberries rich in essential nutrients, the cake stimulates brain blood flow.

Christopher Thé, founder of the renowned 'strawberry watermelon cake,' found the project prompted thoughtful consideration of 'brain food.'

The final cake, appealing to a broad audience with unexpected ingredients, reflects simplicity in great food and a practical texture.

Meals on Wheels NSW CEO, Les MacDonald, highlighted the importance of a healthy diet for cognitive health. As the organization celebrates its 70th anniversary, The Unforgettable Cake becomes a focal point

to address cognitive decline, including dementia and Alzheimer's, affecting many in the community.

The cake, designed to be enjoyed traditionally despite unconventional ingredients, aims to evoke a sense of celebration and nostalgia.

Deliveries to select Meals on Wheels clients commenced on 22 November, offering a unique and impactful approach to addressing cognitive health in the senior community.

Our dreams are dashed.

and about 70 percent of women in Australia with cancer will be alive five years or longer after their diagnosis.

Early prevention and detection are incredibly important to increase your chances of successful treatment. The most common cancers that are affecting women in Australia are: Skin, Breast, Bowel, Lung, Uterus, Ovarian, Cervical and Thyroid cancer.

Musculoskeletal disorders affect many women in Australia, involving injuries or pain in joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, and the parts of your body that support the limbs, neck and back.

These types of disorders often cause joint or muscle pain and inflammation which can seriously impact not only quality of life but ability to walk or do everyday activities.

Statistics have shown that women are at a higher risk of

developing musculoskeletal disorders compared to men.

The Australian Institute of Health & Welfare (2017) found that women were 1.2 times more likely to have chronic musculoskeletal disorders and more than four times more likely to have osteoporosis. Additionally Australian women were 1.5 times more likely to have arthritis compared to Australian men.

Fortunately, preventative measures such as warming up and stretching before starting any physically training will help, and making sure you take frequent breaks to stretch stiff muscles. Pain must be respected, so stopping or changing positions is suggested. It is important to recognise the early signs of any inflammation in the joints, nerves or muscles and treat them early.

Our next edition will deal with cardiovascular diseases.
