INVITATION TO COMMUNITY PLANNING DAY AT JIGGI HALL Earlier this year, Council held two community planning days for its Community Panels project in the ‘West’ area, to gather community aspirations and ideas to formulate a Community Plan. The ‘West’ locality includes Bentley, Blakebrook, Booerie Creek, Bungabbee, Goolmangar, Fernside, Jiggi, Leycester, North Lismore, Rock Valley, Spring Grove and Tuncester communities. These planning days were held at Rock Valley and Goolmangar halls. The input provided by the Rock Valley community has been collated however the Goolmangar Hall session was poorly attended. Before finalising the Community Plan for the West locality, we want to hold another planning day to ensure projects developed reflect the overall community. In response to feedback regarding boundaries, and in recognition of the connections between certain communities, we have also adjusted the ‘West’ boundary to incorporate Jiggi. The planning days are essential to help us develop a comprehensive Community Plan for these areas that includes improvements, projects, events and other community activities that can be undertaken with Council support. A Community Panel of local residents will be formed to oversee implementation of the plan once it is finalised. Anyone in the localities listed above is welcome to join the upcoming planning day, and refreshments are provided to keep everyone fed and watered while we brainstorm ideas for community projects.
The planning day is on Saturday, 17 September from 9.30am to 3.30pm at Jiggi Hall. All ages are welcome. RSVP to Jacqui Kirchen on 1300 87 83 87.

JOIN THE 2016 CARP MUSTER
To help improve river health and clear local rivers of carp, Casino RSM Social Fishing Club hosts the annual Carp Muster. The event covers the Wilsons, Richmond and Bungawalbin catchments, with $4000 in prizes for keen fishers who can help combat this ongoing environmental problem. Carp stir up silt and make the river dirty. This introduced species also eats the roots of riverbank trees, causing erosion, and is now the dominant local river species, outnumbering native fish. These guys are so bad, it’s illegal to catch one and throw it back. The 2016 Carp Muster runs from 17-18 September, with weigh-in on the Sunday from 8am to 2pm behind the Casino RSM Club. Registration is $20 adults, $15 pensioners and $10 for school students. Register at www.casinorsmfishingclub.webs.com.

FINAL LANDHOLDER FIELD DAY TARGETS CATTLE FARMERS The final Rural Landholder Initiative field day for 2016 is coming up on Saturday, 17 September. The Boatharbour Beef Grazing and Biodiversity Field Day will focus on Wilsons River catchment revegetation, maintenance and grazing management in riparian areas. The day is designed for local cattle graziers in the Wilsons River catchment that wish to improve water quality and habitat on their properties. The day is being hosted by Boatharbour farmer Keith Graham, who runs a 55-hectare working beef cattle farm on the Wilsons River. The free field day runs from 9am to 2pm with morning tea and lunch included. RSVP is essential to our Environmental Strategies Officers on 1300 87 83 87. There have been 11 landholder field days throughout 2016 as part of the Rural Landholder Initiative, which is part of Council’s Biodiversity Management Strategy. As well as these field days, the Rural Landholder Initiative included the development of educational resources for local landholders including beef graziers, dairy farmers, orchardists (e.g. macadamia growers), floodplain croppers (e.g. sugar cane growers) and ‘lifestyle’ landholders (e.g. noncommercial rural landholders). These booklets include a Farm Health Assessment Tool so that landholders can self-assess if their practices are out-dated, common place or best practice. To access educational materials or see videos of previous field days, visit www.lismore.nsw.gov.au.
PUBLIC INVITED TO CREATE CBD ARTWORK Lismore residents are invited to help create the largest ever sand and soil art sculpture on the North Coast as part of an event to promote child protection. The event – Lismore Plays its Part! Stronger Communities, Safer Children – will be held on Saturday, 3 September for National Child Protection Week and includes entertainment and creative activities for adults and children. This includes joining artist Karma Barnes to create a huge mandala-type sculpture made from coloured soil and sand pigments. “Collaborative public art is a great way to draw public attention to social issues as well as a great experience for people to work together,” Barnes said. According to Louise Collins from YWCA NSW, the event is a combined community effort to raise awareness about the role everyone plays in keeping children and young people safe and well. “We’ve chosen to invite the whole Lismore community to create a huge sand and soil installation to symbolise our commitment to providing the best possible environment for children so they can grow and thrive,” she said. “We can all play our part in creating a safe, child-friendly community.” The event is supported by the Lismore Business Panel and will take place from 12-5pm on the roundabout at the junction of Magellan and Keen streets in the city centre. Road closures will be in place from midday to create a shared space and carnival atmosphere surrounding the large art installation.
FREE E V E NT
People of all ages are invited to participate in building the artwork and all activities are free. The afternoon includes live music, dance and theatre performances plus a sausage sizzle, jumping castle, face painting, creative children’s activities and much more.
CONWAY STREET ROADWORKS: STAGE TWO BEGINS Stage two of our Conway Street road rehabilitation began this week between the Keen Street intersection and Farmer Charlies driveway. The Dawson Street end is now complete and access to Farmer Charlies, Brad’s Butchery and Network Video is back to normal from this end of Conway Street. We have now closed Conway Street at its Keen Street and Lockett Street intersections and we hope to have this stage complete in time for the September school holidays. While the temporary closure is in place, Lockett Street will only be accessible from McLennan Lane to the south. Pedestrian detours will also be in place in Conway Street while we fix up sections of footpath and kerb and gutter. We will continue to update our message boards on site, so please follow all traffic control. Our thanks to the community for your patience while we undertake these works – we are on the home stretch!
