FROM Page 1

A report on an amended Airport Enterprise Development Probity Plan was brought before Council at the recent meeting.

The plan was amended due to Council being both the developer (Airport Development Group) and planning consent authority for the Airport Enterprise Park Development at Airport Drive, Coffs Harbour.

The Airport Development Group consists of Council’s Business Services Director, Coffs Harbour City Airport Manager, and Airport Commercial and Compliance Manager.

Council is concerned about the potential conflict of being the owner of the Airport Enterprise Park and the planning proposal authority.

The Airport Enterprise Probity Plan is for the staged development of the Airport Enterprise Park on land attached to Coffs Harbour Airport, both of which are owned and managed by Coffs Harbour City Council.

The objective of the Probity Plan is to ensure the overall integrity of the Airport Development is in accordance with all relevant Council and Local Government legislation, policies, procedures and guidelines.

An independent law firm found the rezoning of the Airport Enterprise Park could be considered of

regional environmental planning significance, and stated that the Minister for Planning had the power to direct the Northern Regional Planning Panel to be the planning proposal authority.

In 2017, the Northern Joint Regional Planning Panel granted development consent to the proposed demolition, earthworks and subdivision of land into 98 lots and one residential lot over a total area of approximately 43 hectares.

This land was identified for further light and heavy industry, technology and education, and commercial and aviation.

Council is now considering the desired scope and nature of the Airport Development and is exploring market options.

Council is also considering a potential request to amend the Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan 2013 to rezone the Airport Enterprise Park from SP1 Special Activities-Air Transport Facility.

At Council’s recent ordinary meeting, Cr Sally Townley expressed her discomfort about endorsing the amended Airport Enterprise Park Development Probity Plan while Council was currently receiving financial offers for the site.

“It’s making us look like a rezoning could be linked to a financial outcome which we don’t know yet,” Cr Townley stressed.

However, Cr Townley agreed the existing zoning at the airport was “quite restrictive”.

“The current zoning precludes a lot of activities,” Cr Townley said.

“There has always been a stated intent that rezoning of that land is desirable.”

q The sale and potential rezoning of land at Coffs Harbour’s Airport Enterprise Park Development caused much debate at Council’s latest ordinary meeting.

Cr George Cecato called on fellow councillors to remove themselves from the planning proposal and put it in the hands of the Minister for Planning.

“It removes the thing that all night we’ve been talking about, transparency,” Cr Cecato said.

Following considerable deliberation, Council resolved to defer consideration of the Airport Enterprise Development Probity Plan until binding bids for the Enterprise Park have been received and assessed.

Council also agreed to note that the amended Airport Park Development Probity Plan would

not adequately address the issue of conflict of interest as it cannot be retrospectively applied to lease negotiations to date.

Council also noted that there was no resolved position of Council with respect to a proposed rezoning, and noted there was currently no publicly available detail as to what the proposed rezoning of the site would be.

Council is currently finalising a tender process for the lease of the Airport.

The outcomes of the tender will go before Council for final determination on 28 August.

Tiny dancers Sierra Bowen and Ruari Buttle stepping out for diabetes awareness FROM Page 1 They’re asking for support as they commit to walking 120,000 steps in October to raise funds for research to cure, prevent and better treat Type 1 diabetes.

“I’d like people to know it’s not our fault we have diabetes,” Sierra said.

“People always ask me why I have a phone but it’s so my phone can connect to the machine (GSM) in my arm to send my (insulin) levels to my mum and dad. I just want to be treated like a normal kid.”

Ruari agreed, “It’s an autoimmune disease and it’s just random; I wasn’t unhealthy or didn’t do anything

wrong, it’s just bad luck.”

“I’d also like people to understand that diabetes management is actually pretty complicated, especially for a kid,” she said.

The pair, who were connected through the local diabetes clinic twelve months ago after Sierra’s diagnosis, have already raised more

approved by Council.

An original development application for the expansion in 2017 attracted 104 submissions, all objecting to the development.

Emerald Beach local Dr Anna Scott spoke against the proposal at Council’s latest meeting on Thursday, 13 August via an emailed submission.

Ms Scott raised her concerns about traffic impacts, flood risks and the social and environmental impacts of the proposed caravan park expansion.

“I do not believe a comprehensive assessment of the application has been undertaken,” Ms Scott stated in her submission to Council.

Paul Widdowson, who lives in the same street as the caravan park, also spoke against the proposal on behalf of many Emerald Beach residents, stating his concerns over traffic congestion, pedestrian safety,

flood risks, noise, pollution and environmental impacts.

“The caravan park has already been significantly expanded under previous DA’s,” Mr Widdowson stated.

“Emerald Beach is a small village community, the caravan park is big enough, no further expansion should be allowed.”

Greg Vincent spoke in support of the proposal on behalf of Discovery Parks, and said the caravan park had never been fully developed to its capacity of 200 sites.

“The development does not pose a risk from flooding, and will not cause unacceptable traffic impacts on Fishermans Drive,” Mr Vincent stated.

“We are hopeful of supporting the Emerald Beach community with this development.”

Cr Sally Townley urged her fellow councillors at the latest Council meeting to defer approving the caravan park expansion “in fairness to the neighbours and the objectors”.

than $2300.

“I’m really shocked actually but so happy that so many people are supporting us, it’s awesome,” Ruari said.

“That’s a lot of money and I thought it would take weeks to get $500!” Sierra said.

The duo will be walking with

family, friends and supporters on October 3, starting at Park Beach Surf Club to Muttonbird Island and back again.

Expansion plans on hold for Emerald Beach caravan park

By Emma DARBIN THE controversial expansion of a popular Emerald Beach caravan park has been placed on hold by Coffs Harbour City Council, with further assessments to now be undertaken.

Emerald Beach Discovery Holiday Park plans to add 26 new campsites, a new amenities building, a replacement bridge and internal roads to its Fishermans Drive, Emerald Beach site.

The caravan park currently contains 117 short term caravan sites and 30 camping sites.

Emerald Beach locals have spoken out against the proposal, concerned about traffic and flooding issues which may arise if the proposed caravan park expansion is

q Expansion plans for an Emerald Beach caravan park have been placed on hold by Council, following community concerns.

“It’s a real material concern about flooding,” Cr Townley said.

Cr Tegan Swan also expressed her concern over car parking issues associated with day visitors using the waterpark facility within the caravan park.

Council resolved to defer making a decision on the development application until Council staff undertake a final hydraulic assessment for the proposed new

bridge, together with complete detailed design and construction levels of the new bridge.

An ecological assessment of the vegetation removal and riparian disturbance associated with the bridge construction, and an updated traffic and parking supply assessment will also be carried out.

The caravan park has been part of the Emerald Beach village since the 1970s.

Kindergarten orientation has to wait

By Kue HALL BAILEY Ryan has been looking forward to her ‘big school’ debut for months but thanks to COVID-19, she and thousands of other 2020 Kindergarten students will have to wait a little longer.

News came in this week from the Department of Education that Kindergarten orientation and transition to school activities remain on hold until further notice.

“Bailey is so excited, she can’t wait to get to big school,” her mum Michelle said.

“I guess trying to match her excitement with the unknown is the hard part.

“They’ve already missed out on so much in their last

year of preschool, I hope she doesn’t miss out on too many things because of COVID,” said Michelle.

The Department of Education has suggested schools look at connecting remotely to begin the transition for their incoming Kindergarten cohort, citing video tours, online meetings or even closed Kindergarten social media pages as possible options in the meantime.

Other restrictions now in force for public schools in NSW include the ban of all group singing and other chanting activities, as well as the use of wind instruments in group settings.

School formals, dances, graduations and other social events are also not permitted.

Everyone remains hopeful Term 4 will bring some good news.

q Michelle Ryan and daughter Bailey are eagerly awaiting news on when Kindergarten transition will begin.

Council Customer Satisfaction Survey reveals residents’ concerns

By Emma DARBIN

A COFFS Harbour City Council customer satisfaction survey has found residents living in the region for more than 10 years possessed the lowest satisfaction levels when it came to Council, and the community’s most pressing issues of concern were road improvements, town maintenance and the completion of the Coffs Harbour Bypass.

The 2020 Customer Satisfaction Survey was conducted by independent research company Micromex Research earlier this year.

The bi-annual survey aims to assess satisfaction with and priorities towards Council activities,

facilities and services, identify community priorities for the region, and help Council understand resident experiences when contacting Council.

An additional question was included in this year’s survey to establish what residents believe Council could do to assist the community during and beyond COVID-19.

In reply to this question, residents were equally concerned with keeping waste services open and increasing garbage collection during this time, Council supporting the community with rate cuts and supporting local businesses, and Council stopping its plans to develop the new Cultural and Civic Space Project.

Residents were most

satisfied with Council’s level of communication with the community, waste and recycling services, enforcement of local building regulations, and economic development.

The most valued aspects of the area for residents were the region’s natural environment and beauty, lifestyle and atmosphere, central location and the city’s weather and climate.

There was a significant decline in resident satisfaction for cultural facilities, the creation or attraction of cultural and sporting events, and libraries.

Issues relating to communication were common reasons for residents not being satisfied with the performance of Council.

Key opportunity areas identified for Council to consider included,

greater investment by Council in community communication and engagement, understanding to needs of residents in relation to cleanliness in the area, continuing to focus on economic growth and the promotion of tourism, and working with the community to understand and explore their expectations for the local road network.

The findings of the Customer Satisfaction Survey will inform decision-making in the development of Council services in the future.

The Customer Satisfaction Survey report will be made available to the community through the Community Engagement Section of Council’s website.

Red Bin Waste Agreement Sticks

By Sandra MOON

THE Coffs Harbour, Bellingen and Nambucca Shire councils are still grappling with their red bin waste crisis as Coffs City Council General Manager Steve McGrath announced to News Of The Area that their Mixed Waste Organic Output (MWOO) will continue to be sent to Tamworth.

This is at odds with Bellingen Councils’ recent request to send their MWOO to Nambucca and the prompt consideration and rejection by Nambucca Valley Council this week.

Bellingen Shire Council General Manager Liz Jeremy advised the request will be further considered by Nambucca Valley Council when there is more certainty about approval for its next cell at their landfill.

Prior to 2018 MWOO was considered a useable, recoverable waste product.

Director of Sustainable Infrastructure at Coffs Harbour City Council, Mr Mick Raby, said it was then effectively banned from going into landfill by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

looking to engage with the RFS in other ways, including volunteering and non fire-fighting activities.

The day will also include some family fun activities for the kids with games, dress-ups and fire truck displays.

Due to COVID 19, all precautions will be taken and all rules regarding social distancing and gatherings will be followed at Sunday’s event.

As we know from recent events, nobody is immune to the threat of fire.

Last fire season was horrendous for many communities, with almost 3000 homes destroyed throughout the country during Australia’s “Black Summer.”

More than 5 million hectares of land was burnt across NSW during the fires.

Whilst many areas have had some decent rainfall, bush and grass fires are still possible as the weather starts to warm up towards spring and the RFS says it is important to have a Bush Fire Survival Plan in place.

“That is why we want people to make sure they are prepared year-round for these fires,” RFS spokesman James Morris said.

The RFS says it can take as little as 20mins to prepare a bush fire survival plan, and provide helpful planning information on their website at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/resources/bush-firesurvival-plan.

submissions to Government regarding the repercussions of this decision on the councils and their communities.

Mr Raby said, “In 2005 we set about achieving an outcome of best practice in the way of recoverable waste and did so with considerable investment to meet the then criteria of the EPA but the goals posts were moved in 2008.

“Then in 2018 the goal posts were totally pulled down and we were told that MWOO cannot be put it into land.”

Mr McGrath maintained council’s objective remains to be of service to the rate payer.

“We are trying to manage diligently in the background the processing in a form that is reasonable and at no additional cost to the rate payer,” he said.

With about 40 or 50 % of organic waste matter going into our red or yellow bins Mr Raby acknowledged council will be undertaking an education programme in the foreseeable future.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said Coffs Harbour Guide Hall is one of fourteen Girl Guide centres across the State that have been identified for upgrade work under the program.

“I welcome the Statewide funding from the NSW Government which will see Coffs Harbour Guide Hall get a security fence and also gutter mesh installed around its building to stop leaves and tree debris accumulating,” Mr Singh said.

The work will be carried out by local businesses and will improve the security and maintenance of the hall as well as providing stimulus to the local economy.

Many of the Guides normal fundraising activities have been shut down due to the pandemic restrictions, including their annual biscuit day.

Coffs Harbour Girl Guides District Manager, Susan Gibson, said, “This grant will enable us to carry out improvements that will enhance our programs here at the hut, and provide improved security for our outdoor area. It would have taken an awful lot of biscuit sales to achieve this ourselves.”

Outrage over potential funding options for Cultural & Civic Space

By Emma DARBIN

ALTERNATIVE funding options for the controversial $76.5m Cultural and Civic Space Project recently announced by Coffs Harbour City Council have sparked outrage among the community, with a special rate variation and airport lease funds being listed as potential options.

A Cultural and Civic SpaceFunding Options and Financial Implications of Change Of Space report was presented to Coffs Harbour City councillors at Council’s latest meeting on Thursday, 13 August, following Council’s inability to sell Rigby House and its Castle Street Administration Building this year.

Council estimated the sale of these two properties would contribute $17m towards funding of the Cultural and Civic Space Project.

Alternative funding options for the project listed in the report included, additional external borrowing, a special rate variation, renting Rigby House and Council’s Administration Building, grant funding, philanthropic donations, internal borrowing,

joint venture/public private partnership, developer contributions ($2,400 per lot), and an airport lease allocation.

The report stated it would be possible for Council to apply for a special rate variation of approximately 4.01 percent over ten years to undertake the project, should Council decide not to sell both Rigby House and the Administration Building.

The report also stated it was possible Council would have funds from the Coffs Harbour Airport lease transaction which could be used as direct funds for the Cultural and Civic Space, or as internal borrowing towards funding the $17m loss Council would suffer should Rigby House and the Administration Building not be sold.

Council has previously indicated that proceeds from the airport lease transaction would not be used to fund the project.

“However, the use of these funds as an internal borrowing may be considered appropriate,” the report stated.

Council also has consistently indicated during community engagement and

the financial planning for the project that a Special Rate Variation would not be utilised to fund the project.

Cr Paul Amos stated at the recent meeting the problem Council currently faced with trying to sell the two properties in a time of market uncertainty.

“It’s not a great time to sell the properties,” Cr Amos said.

Cr Keith Rhoades agreed and stated, “It’s the wrong time in the market to be selling property, we’ve all said that”.

Cr Amos called on the State and Federal Governments to help Council fund the project.

“Just about every big infrastructure build for local councils is subsidised by the State or Federal Governments,” Cr Amos stressed.

“It is too big a project for us to take on on our own.”

The recent report also stated that removing the Council staff offices from the Cultural and Civic Space building would cost approximately $38m in additional costs over twenty years to retain the Administration Building and Rigby House, and to refurbish the Administration Building to accommodate all

Following around 90 minutes of debate, Council resolved to pause the sale of its Castle Street Administration Building and Rigby House until the Cultural and Civic Space development application is determined and if approved, and detailed design and costing is complete.

Solving Two Problems With One Start up

By Andrew VIVIAN A FLEDGLING startup that began with ten local teenagers visiting an aged care home to help residents improve their technology skills has expanded nationally.

Tony and Finn Rothacker founded Youngster. co to address the two issues of high local youth unemployment and

underemployment and the social isolation of elderly people.

“We now have almost 300 “youngsters” currently participating with the prospect of another 300 joining soon”, according to Tony.

When COVID-19 struck, like all effective entrepreneurs, Tony and Finn realised that there were opportunities to “scale up” more quickly online than through face-to-face sessions.

q Youngster.co sets up a win-win exchange of skills.

Most of the “youngsters” are university students and young people doing a gap year who are seeking to do something worthwhile.

While the immediate rewards for the elderly seem obvious, the “youngsters” also receive life lessons in return.

The benefits, however, are spread more widely.

It has been estimated that every dollar spent on programs like youngster.co. could return as much as $30 to society.

Young people gain some employment from the program as well as qualities

such as communication, listening and empathy that help them become more employable.

Older people not only become more connected to family and friends but learn to become online shoppers and access online medical services.

This lowers the cost to society and has a range of social and medical benefits.

The range of assistance from “youngsters” has expanded from teaching technology skills to teaching new languages or helping take up a new hobby.

With recognition in a national entrepreneurship magazine, and support from entrepreneurs such as

Statewide Tourism Initiative is Launched In Coffs

q Gurmesh Singh, Stuart Ayres, Clark Webb.

By Andrew VIVIAN THE Coffs Creek was the site of a launch of a Statewide tourism initiative by Stuart Ayres, the Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism

and Western Sydney, and Gurmesh Singh, the Member for Coffs Harbour.

The launch of “49 Local Stories” highlighted local business Wajaana Yaam Gumbaynggirr adventure

tours, operated by Clark Webb.

Clark has been conducting paddle boarding lessons, combined with native plant identification, cultural stories and a beach

and our wonderful coastline, but hearing those personal experiences of people like Clark here in Coffs Harbour.”

He went on to say, “This is really about preparing our tourism sector to be much more resilient and be ready to bounce back when everyone can get out and move around.”

“There has never been a better time for Australians to get out and explore their own backyard, explore their own waterways, explore their own culture and their own community.”

Mr Singh said, “With the decline in international tourism, we will start to see more tourists flock to places like Coffs Harbour, to Woolgoolga, to Sawtell and spend their money here, locally.”

“We need to be able to open our doors as soon as travel starts again,” he said.

The 49 stories have been selected by Destination NSW to include a range of experiences, and Wajaana Yaam Gumbaynggirr adventure tours was chosen because of great feedback.

The stories will be shared walk, for the past three and a across digital platforms half years.

Hike it Bike it Like it

By Sandra MOON

q Yvonne Everett and Alan Whitelock-Jones at the viewpoint overlooking the Bellinger Valley on Tuckers Knob.

FANCY going for a hike somewhere new but not sure where to go? Enter CoffsTrails.com, a new website that provides current trail information targeted at the Coffs Coast region.

The website currently features over 60 trails, with maps and GPX downloads, with more trails being added on a regular basis.

The site offers coastal and hinterland walks, short gentle strolls and challenging hill climbs, dog friendly routes and adventure motorcycle journeys.

“There is a trail for everyone,” said founder Yvonne Everett, a keen bushwalker, and adventure motorcyclist.

Ms Everett moved to Coffs in winter 2019 after retiring

from a corporate career in Sydney.

“It is a self-funded personal project for fun and to provide a resource for the community.

“I started this site during lockdown, as a way of exploring my new home and staying healthy outside,” she said.

“It is hard to find walking trails in Coffs - guidebooks date from last century and are not readily available, trail websites focus on the major cities and ignore this area, and due to different landowners (NPWS, Forests, councils etc) what trails are documented are scattered across different websites.”

Yvonne, her husband Alan and dog Nuka have personally walked all the trails, taken all the photos themselves (well, okay not Nuka) and created the GPX downloads.

“I have a list of over 50 local trails I still want to map!,” said Ms Everett.

“We've walked the coast from Yamba to Sawtell, and this week with the right tides we want to continue to South West Rocks.

“I'm doing Green Gully next month then want to do the Gibraltar Washpool Heritage Walk - both local multi-day walks.”

Yvonne has been surprised by just how many trails there are and how secret and unknown some of them remain, even to long-time locals.

She encourages people with a love of the outdoors to check out her site and Facebook page and to get in touch if you have a local trail you want to share with others.

In March this year he worked on the lighting for Handa Opera’s production of ‘La Traviata on Sydney Harbour.’

Unfortunately when pandemic restrictions were imposed, the production was cancelled, leaving Darcy, like so many others, looking for work.

As a result, Darcy

upgraded his drivers’ licence to include semi-trailers, and is now operating a route between Sydney and Melbourne, following strict minimal contact and cleaning regulations.

He has a philosophical view of his situation, saying “It has been a good opportunity for me to re-evaluate where I am in life and where I want to

go in future, but I miss going out with my friends.”

On an optimistic note, he is booked to design and run the lighting for the Australian Dance Festival in Sydney at the end of September, providing current COVID-19 restrictions.

He is hoping that it might be some light at the end of the tunnel.

Taking a look at our local people: Darcy Cook

By David TUNE

THE Coffs Coast is undoubtedly a great place to bring up children, but many of them leave to seek other opportunities soon after finishing school.

Darcy Cook finished his HSC at the Senior College in 2009 after starting his high

school journey at Toormina High.

Throughout school, one of Darcy’s major interests was the entertainment industry.

For the next five years he worked around Coffs Harbour and the surrounding coasts as a technical specialist in stage production and lighting design.

After completing his Bachelor of Fine Arts, Technical Production from the Queensland University of Technology in 2015, Darcy founded Tourlights Australia, a production design company based in Sydney, and until recently worked on sets all over Australia and New Zealand.

Coffs Harbour Mayor calls for National Cabinet inclusion

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City Mayor Denise Knight has issued a call for Local Government representation on National Cabinet, an intergovernmental decisionmaking forum initially established in March to deliver a National response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cr Knight issued the call via a Mayoral Minute at the latest Coffs Harbour City Council meeting on Thursday, 13 August.

In May, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) would be replaced by the National

Cabinet.

The Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) was a member of COAG. “Local Government was not given a seat at the National Cabinet table,” Cr Knight said.

“Decisions about how our Federation works and how it can be improved or reformed require all three levels of Government working together to align their policies and programs.

“Australians expect the decisions of Government affecting them to reflect their grass roots views and to be implemented at the Local level as well as the State and

National level.”

Cr Knight said National Cabinet and the Commonwealth Government were looking towards pro-growth policies to lift investment and get Australians back to work.

“Local Governments are willing and necessary partners in developing and implementing reform,” Cr Knight stressed.

“Reform involving the streamlining of legislation and regulation requires all the levels of Government.”

According to Cr Knight, the challenge facing National Cabinet over the coming months will be unlike any which has faced Australian

q Don Langley with Toormina Public School students Paige Goulstone and Isabel Sparrius.

Governments in recent times.

“It will require the concerted, coordinated and complementary efforts of all three levels of Government to rebuild consumer confidence, support business and recreate millions of jobs,” Cr Knight said.

“Including Local Government in National Cabinet would demonstrate a strong unity of purpose and a combined commitment to promote and implement National Cabinet decisions across the broadest implementation platform available to Government.”

Council has agreed to write to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Federal

Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan and State Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh to highlight the critical necessity for Local Government representation on the newly formed National Cabinet, and seek their assistance in requesting that First Ministers (the Prime Minister, State/ Territory Premiers and Chief Ministers) review the decision to exclude Local Government.

Council will also seek a meeting with local Federal and State members to discuss the importance of having Local Government representation on National Cabinet, and the value of

Council also noted that the Australian Local Government Association, Local Government NSW and other State and Territory Local Government associations will continue to advocate for Local Government representation on the National Cabinet, and for Local Government’s interests in all relevant forums.

Museum gets Langley Mini Model A PERFECT scale model of Coffs Harbour’s 1906 Police Station and Courthouse – complete with miniature larrikins awaiting sentence – is to be gifted to the Regional Museum’s collections by a talented local craftsman at 11am on Tuesday, 25 August.

Retired builder and modelmaker Don Langley approached Museum staff offering to create a model of a building of local historical significance – and what better choice

than the Museum itself, now housed in the heritage-listed Police Station and Courthouse on Harbour Drive.

“This is an incredibly generous and community-minded gift,” said Coffs Harbour Mayor Councillor Denise Knight who will receive the model on behalf of the Museum. “It’s so wonderfully intricate, it’s sure to capture the imagination of people of all ages.”

The 1:25 scale model accurately portrays the historic building over

a century ago when it contained a police station, courtroom, magistrate’s room, police living quarters, two lock-up cells, an exercise yard and a stable. Don even thought of including lighting and viewing holes to peep inside at the period furnishings and miniature people attending court.

This is a timely exhibit as a lead in item to History Week which happens in NSW from 5-13 September.

Bishop Druitt College Call to honour opens Investigation Centre worthy women for stage one students in the Coffs

By David TUNE BISHOP Druitt College (BDC) has opened a new learning space for students in Kindergarten through to Year 2 which features indoor and outdoor activities and encourages young learners to gain education through investigation.

The Investigation Centre is the creation of former Head of Primary Mrs Karin Lisle (now Principal of the Clarence Valley Anglican School), Curriculum Coordinator Mrs Sarah

Stokes and College Principal Mr Nick Johnstone, and is an extension of the school’s commitment to the Walker Learning Approach.

This approach is based upon decades of research about playbased and personalised learning and is a total approach to teaching and learning, combining children’s need to be active participants in learning through hands-on, creative exploration and investigation, alongside formal instruction.

Walker Learning views the child holistically and values emotional and social life as much as the academic side of education.

The centre features a wide range

of equipment that allows children to play and learn by doing, including a wet area for working with water as well as a space for sand play, with an emphasis on using natural materials.

Head of the Primary school Mr Richard Smith said, “This approach develops soft skills such as negotiation, sharing and interpersonal skills as well as academic learning, and we have already seen the impact reflected in improved playground behaviour.”

“Students also get to learn in a positive strength-based teaching environment, where learning from mistakes is part of the educational process.”

Saving Koalas Can Be Good For The Economy

By Andrew VIVIAN

SUNDAY 16 August was Save Our Koalas From Extinction Day, organised by NSW Upper House MP, Cate Faehrmann.

Simultaneous events were held across the State, including in Coffs Harbour and Bellingen.

Local participants were unanimous in expressing their dismay at declining koala populations and urged the state government to urgently address the issue.

All agreed that the decline in koala numbers is an economic as well as an environmental problem.

Bellingen organiser, Kevin Evans, said, “Koalas are the emblem of our forests and you can’t have a successful economy without a healthy habitat”.

Kevin is a strong advocate for the Great Koala Park, which is a proposal to add 175,000ha of State forests to existing protected areas to form a 315,000ha reserve in the Coffs Harbour hinterland.

An initial study by

Southern Cross University estimated that the park could benefit the Coffs Coast Region by up to $300 million.

The underlying assumption is that more koalas bring more visitors, which stimulates the Coffs Coast tourism, accommodation and hospitality sectors.

The Coffs Harbour event was organised by Jane Reynolds and Donna Taylor, founders of the Sole Sisters bushwalking group.

Group members said that over the years they had been walking together, koala sightings on their treks had

q Donna and Jane (in the middle of the group) have noticed a decline in koala numbers. q Kevin Evans says that koalas are good for the economy

diminished significantly.

Donna’s Grandfather, Sid Burke, began planting the forest park that bears his name, on Pine Creek Way, in the 1920’s.

She said, “It was one of the best koala habitats in the area but koala numbers have halved in the past twenty years”.

Jane echoed the need to act quickly to preserve local koala

numbers.

“The Coffs hinterland is not burnt and it is one of the last areas where koalas can thrive. It is essential that it is protected,” she said.

Their role? Making calls on behalf of Mission Australia Housing Mid North Coast, to help people complete the organisation’s annual online survey that measures the wellbeing of tenants living in social housing.

The pair said while collecting the survey data was important – as the calls were to people without access to technology – the simple interaction with tenants made a world of difference.

Sam said, “Due to the pandemic, so many people are living in isolation with limited human contact. This

“I loved volunteering with Mission Australia Housing!”

Ellie agreed.

“It was such a valuable and insightful experience speaking with such diverse and lovely people,” said Ellie.

“I spoke with a woman who said that I was the first person that she had contact with in over a month and that I made her day."

Ellie said, “That made my day! Thank you to the awesome staff of Mission Australia Housing for the great work you do for your tenants, every day.”

Mission Australia Housing’s annual Impact Measurement survey of tenant wellbeing helps the charity

clients and the communities they work in as well as how to adjust their service delivery to improve health, housing and social outcomes.

“Tenant input shapes how we deliver services to our tenants, it’s an essential part of our work,” said Jesse Taylor, Mission Australia Housing’s Community Development Officer.

“Sam and Ellie are a great team and formed a strong bond working closely together via the MS Teams platform.”

“We achieved our goals on-time and provided an insightful experience that value-adds to their University education,” said Jesse.

Blokes having coffee initiative helping with depression

By Natalie GILL COFFEE 4 Blokes is a privately funded, non-profit initiative that was founded in 2018 by Jonny Shuttleworth to inspire other men and to help reduce male depression, loneliness and isolation.

He has over twenty-five years of experience and is certified in counselling and mentoring.

Mr Shuttleworth told News of The Area, “I was born in the UK but was raised in America and moved to Australia with my family at

the age of 18.

“I am a father, widower, ex full-time carer of my disabled wife and now a mentor/life coach living on the beautiful Coffs Coast.”

After becoming aware of a gap in mental health services in the area, Mr

Shuttleworth decided to use his own experience to help others.

More Opportunities For More Kids

By Andrew VIVIAN

ORARA High School’s student population has fifteen percent Aboriginal students and fifteen percent students from a non– English-speaking background, who speak at least 34 languages between them.

Recognising that many of their students have not had the advantages in life that many people take for granted, the Principal, Malcolm McFarlane, and his teachers have developed a range of courses to help all Orara students succeed.

These courses include

programs for Aboriginal boys and girls, for refugee students and for all students who need English language support.

The Clontarf Aboriginal program supports boys with a range of activities which support and promote the values of trust, respect, honesty, commitment, belief and encouragement.

“Our Clontarf alumni are in Clontarf forever. They are always available to support students in the program,” said program leader Matt Donovan.

Heather Duncan has developed a similar program

for Aboriginal girls, called Balmuun Jindas, or “Strong Sisters”.

Both programs help students strengthen their self and cultural identity through camps, fitness sessions and help with school work.

Another program sees selected students working to plan, construct and maintain a community garden, along with activities such as a first aid course and industry visits to equip students for the workforce.

Taj, a year 10 student who is doing the program for the third time said that he really enjoyed the experience.

“They put me on a task and I just do it. I like hands

Shuttleworth said.

“Having been through my own life’s struggles, battling depression and even surviving domestic abuse I decided to try to help the little guy, offering support to other men,” he said.

Coffee 4 Blokes was created as a safe confidential space where men can band together and share their stories, views and life experiences.

Meetups are held weekly and almost always involve topics relating to men’s health and well-being.

Attendees are encouraged to open up and share their own viewpoints.

Sometimes men want to make changes in their lives, well this is a great place to start,” Mr Shuttleworth said.

“At Coffee 4 Blokes you will find support and encouragement from one another, it is a chance to share great strategies to tackle life’s everyday challenges.”

Mr Shuttleworth finds his work very rewarding.

“The feedback from these groups and events that I have hosted over the years has only been positive.”

Mr. Denham said the results from these programs had been encouraging.

“There have been massive improvements in attendance and behaviour,” he said.

The increasing participation of less-advantaged students in HSC and improved parental involvement are other positive results of the school’s commitment to student success. q Taj loves working in the community garden.

Support for bushfire affected properties

By Emma DARBIN

BUSHFIRE affected landholders in the Coffs Harbour region can now obtain support to undertake environmental recovery actions on their land, through the Bushfire Recovery Grants Program.

Environmental recovery actions supported through the program include weed control, erosion management, planting to replace lost native vegetation, and the protection of remaining remnant areas and nest boxes.

Capability Building Community Cafe

By Sandra MOON

COMMUNITY Care Options in Coffs Harbour has opened a 50’s style community café, The Spoke ‘n Wheel, complete with a jukebox and life size cut out of the Fonz.

Deb Ryan, CEO of Community Care Options (CCO), told News Of The Area the aim of the café is to fill a social participation gap for people living with disabilities.

“With the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) coming out a few years ago lots of clients started getting one on one support, but there was a big gap of where people with disabilities could go to make friends with other people. So, I wanted to

create a nice social space that was welcoming for people with disabilities and then we thought about a commercial kitchen,” she said.

The idea has grown from there.

The cafe and the computer lab next door are all about capacity building for the community.

The cafe runs during the day and is a welcoming place for all the community and you don't need to be a client of Community Care Options to participate.

“We have started with a few of our clients volunteering to get some work experience and will be offering classes on communication skills, relationships, how to apply

for a job. Capacity building seems to be a gap,” Ms Ryan said.

There are plans to run a range of cooking classes, which will include budgeting, on a Monday when the cafe is shut to the public.

Ms Ryan said other plans include social occasions in the evenings such as watching the football on a Friday night.

“We will also be running computer classes in the shop opposite for older people as well. People can purchase computers and technology now through NDIS and Aged Care packages.

“So we can support people during COVID-19 and show them how to use their computers for things such as

Comedy Company marks local theatre stalwart’s semi-retirement

q Current president of CHMCC Judi Williams. Photo supplied.

By David TUNE

JUDI Williams has been a key figure in local community theatre for many years, and has decided to step back from the Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company committee at their Annual General Meeting.

At the age of fourteen, Judi was taken to see a live performance of Jacques Offenbach’s “Orpheus in the Underworld.’’

Returning to see the comic opera two more times, the impact of the performance has stayed with her since.

Arriving in Coffs Harbour in the late eighties, Judi joined a local choir and was persuaded to join the chorus of the local theatre production of ‘Annie Get Your Gun.’ After the first performance Judi remembers thinking, “Why haven’t I been doing this all my life, it’s just so much fun.”

She then connected with the Upper Orara Melodrama under the tutelage of the late Ron Collingridge who taught Judi many of the fundamentals of directing local theatre.

waste processing facility at Englands Road.

A Council report presented at the latest Coffs Harbour City Council meeting on Thursday, 13 August stated the adopted increase was in the range of nineteen percent, and consequently had the capacity to disrupt the existing contractual operations of some commercial waste businesses within the local government area.

The rate recommended

by Council’s Waste Services Department for the 2020/21 period was for $251 per tonne.

This is an increase of $5 from the previous 2019/20 rate of $245 per tonne, which

Council stated was required to account for the NSW Government’s increased Waste Levy and other operational cost increases.

Council will now place the intended amendment of public exhibition for 28 days.

The existing charge of $291 per tonne will remain during the exhibition period, with the fee changing post exhibition.

Council confirmed at its recent meeting that no refunds would be approved from the mistake.

A further report on the matter will be presented to Council following the exhibition period.

More harbour views for Coffs

Dear News Of The Area,

By Manny WOOD

The case of the missing beneficiary JOHN passes-away, leaving a $1 million estate to his three children equally.

Six months pass and the executors are ready to distribute the estate.

Unfortunately, they are unable to locate one of John’s children, William.

The executors distribute two-thirds of the estate to the children that they are able to locate but retain over $300,000 in trust for William.

Eight years pass and John’s other children approach the executors about releasing William’s share to them. By this time, the executors are more than happy to finalise the estate but are advised to seek approval from the Court, for their own protection.

The Court hears evidence that William has not been in contact with any family member for over 20 years and when they last heard from him, he was on the Methadone program.

The Drug and Alcohol Centre and the Salvation Army, operating in his last known place of residence had no record of any attendance by William and could not assist in locating him.

Electoral roll searches were conducted, without success. Unsuccessful property ownership searches were also conducted.

Births, Death and Marriages searches were made in all states of Australia and there was no record that William had married, fathered a child or that he was deceased.

The Court ultimately finds that William went missing in the early 2000’s and that given the lapse of more than the requisite seven years, orders that on the balance of probabilities, he is “no longer alive”.

The Court concludes that the executors had made all reasonable investigations and that although there was some uncertainty as to whether William was still alive, makes a “Benjamin Order” that his share of the estate can be distributed to John’s other children.

If you would like a particular issue addressed please email Manny at manny. wood@ticliblaxland.com.au or call him on (02) 6648 7487.

I AGREE with D Beinefelt, (NOTA 14/8/20) that the Jetty foreshore should not be clogged with hundreds of units and that buildings greater than three stories are probably too high.

Sure there could be more green space and BBQ areas but let’s open our minds and be more creative and not exclude the possibility of some cafes and restaurants positioned to take in the

views of the harbour. Coffs Harbour is deficient in such establishments with harbour views. There is sufficient space around the harbour to cater for these and green space too.

I would like to see development at the south side of the harbour in the form of an architecturally designed building terraced into the rock face of the old quarry.

Where patrons could sit outdoors on the

terraces and enjoy a meal or coffee and take in the very pleasant views of the harbour, that this location provides.

Currently this area is quite desolate and such a development would encourage more people to visit and could become a tourist draw card not to mention provide additional employment.

Wayne Duesbury

Huge expenditures which will cripple our economy

Dear News Of The Area,

YES, I totally agree with Kylie Sinclair, along with many others regarding this latest hike in Rates.

It’s a shame this year's elections didn't take place.

As far as the Civic Centre goes, it’s something we do not need in these dire financial times, and the Community will be left with a huge mortgage to repay.

We have a large majority of Pensioners in Coffs who get the minimal amount to

live on, and if Council were to take a walk along Harbour Drive and see all the empty shops, (and Park Ave) they might think twice before putting us into dreadful debt.

No retail equals no money coming in.

As far as the " youth " showing interest in a new Civic Centre, what a load of rubbish (firstly).

The youth are far too busy having a good time to be bothered writing to Council or going to Meetings asking for a new Library or

LIKE Brigit Mackenzie (August 14, 2020) I am looking forward to the construction of a dedicated cultural precinct which will combine, at least, a new art gallery, library and museum in a single, purposebuilt premises.

Although it may prove to be an extremely expensive project, such a centre has the potential to become a Coffs Harbour landmark of distinction.

Unlike Brigit, however, I cannot support the expenditure of ratepayers’

money to construct new offices for those employed to conduct the business of running our council, especially when the present building was designed to be added to, in order to provide additional work space.

Council’s recently advertised costings, specifically designed to show that the cost of extending the current building is so huge as to make the task prohibitive, should be regarded with great scepticism.

After all, the people providing the figures are

Digby House has enough room to expand the Library or Gallery if necessary.

But not many people use it at the best of times. It’s a good service, but not one that needs replacing, to the detriment of the Community.

Council needs to be more realistic and think before they make huge expenditures which will cripple our economy.

Showpiece deserves prime location

Dear News of the Area,

with

Jasminda

those who want to build themselves new offices – clearly a conflict of interest.

As far as a location for our cultural beacon is concerned, there can scarcely be a worse place that the Gordon street site. Traffic and parking issues aside, the site is simply incredibly ugly.

Our new showpiece, when it is finally constructed, deserves a dress circle position, not front stalls at a concrete parking facility.

Julian May Boambee East

IT is definitely a challenge. I mean, most of us are sticking close to home and when we do go out it is like a budget version of a masquerade ball. They say one of the first things that people are attracted to is our smile, but it is a bit difficult when that smile is covered by three layers of cotton or a P95 mask complete with its warning label (an instant turnoff) or maybe one of those repurposed socks that are all the rage on Youtube but apparently not terribly effective for preventing virus transmission or getting a date.

The plus is it is a much more level playing field. We all look pretty similar at the moment in our iso-wear (obligatory black tights and tracksuit top) and face coverings. People will have to be attracted to each other on personality alone, not that there is much opportunity to discover that personality when we are standing on circles 1.5 metres apart.

Hugs and kisses and even handshakes are no go zones, and there is something distinctly unromantic about an elbow bump.

I suggest you join a mixed sports team.

For some reason it is perfectly acceptable to grab people around the waist or hoist them up in the air by their shorts or stick your head near their buttocks as long as there is a rugby ball involved. Whether or not you will meet the woman of your dreams is questionable, but at least you will maintain some level of fitness which will be handy when life goes back to some semblance of normality.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

OPINION

Humanity

Dear News Of The Area,

IT is a sad reflection on our humanity when a ‘game’ of football is described by a commentator as ‘brutal.’

If we are to be worthy of the ‘humanity’ title, then we should start by eliminating the practice of the physical contact of tackling in certain

‘sports’.

This will take courage as the power of the almighty dollar dominates many sports to the utter disavowal of humanitarian consideration.

Have we that courage?

Difficult start leads to a glowing future

By David TUNE

EMILY Hodges had a very rough start in life, but has overcome many obstacles to become a confident young woman with a solid vision of her future.

Arriving early via emergency caesarean section after a difficult pregnancy and spending weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Emily was on her way back to Coffs Harbour via air Ambulance when her heart stopped, necessitating mid-flight resuscitation.

After a further stint in Baringa NICU Emily was finally allowed to go home, but was in and out of hospital over the next three years of her life, so much so that many hospital staff members have become part of her extended family.

Emily was finally diagnosed with multilobe epilepsy, which explained many of the problems she was experiencing including multiple seizures of differing intensity many times a day up until she was in year four.

Epilepsy hasn’t stopped Emily from pursuing her dreams and passions however, having discovered a love of dance from the age of four, she has studied continuously with Julie Ross Dance Studio, and performed in her first full stage musical, ‘The King and I’ at the Jetty Memorial theatre aged six.

Dancing at Disneyland USA for the first time as an eight-year-old and later becoming a member of the Disney Performing Arts group, Emily has found performing to be beneficial in dealing with her epilepsy.

“Each show has reinforced my feeling

Emily has a clear goal of working and learning in the performing arts industry aiming at working on screen

and eventually on Broadway.

“I want to reach for the stars but keep my feet on the ground, and I hope my story will be an inspiration to others struggling with difficult health conditions,” she said.

Career choice made easier for High School students

By Emma DARBIN

MAKING the right career choice and determining your pathway to get there can be a difficult decision for many high school students.

These life changing choices are being made a little easier for Woolgoolga High School students, thanks to a NSW Department of Education program launched at the school this year.

The school was one of four high schools in the Coffs Harbour and Clarence Valley

regions chosen to benefit from the NSW Government Educational Pathways Pilot Program (EPPP).

Five clusters of NSW schools are involved in the program, including three clusters in South Western Sydney, one in Northern NSW and the Grafton Cluster of Woolgoolga High School, South Grafton High School, Grafton High School and Maclean High School.

Careers Head Teacher for the Grafton Cluster of schools David Youman said

q Woolgoolga High School students are benefiting from enhanced careers advice and direction, thanks to a NSW Government pilot program operating at the school.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

the program was a great opportunity for Woolgoolga High School students.

“Our purpose is to prepare young people for rewarding lives, and the program is creating opportunities for those students whose path lies outside going to university,” Mr Youman said.

To date, Woolgoolga High School students have participated in fun interactive full day workshops to get them job-ready, online careers webinars, a virtual careers expo, and school staff

associated with the program have strengthened the pathways between school, training and employment, making the transition from school to further study and employment much easier for the students.

The pilot program features ten streams which focus on enhanced careers advice, increasing the number of schoolbased apprenticeships and traineeships, and supporting disadvantaged and disengaged students.

The program was created in response to poor choices made by young people in their career pathways.

Its aim is to transform the way students and parents think about postschool options and future careers, and ensure high school students leave school independent and well prepared for higher education, training or work.

The innovative program will continue at Woolgoolga High School until the end of 2021.

Further information on the pilot program including careers information videos, fact sheets and episodes of EPPP TV can be found at https://education.nsw. g o v. a u / p u b l i c - s c h o o l s / career-and-study-pathways/ educational-pathways-pilotprogram.

Coffs Region just keeps on producing Beware: Viral ONE positive upshot from the pandemic sweeping the world has been the increased demand for locally grown fruit and vegetables.

It is no secret that fresh produce provides us with antioxidants, which are helpful in boosting the immune system – something people have become more aware of in recent months.

A benefit of Covid-19, is that more people are thinking about their health and wellbeing and a key part of that is eating fresh food more regularly.

People have become more aware of local food and are seeking out where they can access their fresh food.

People are also growing more food in their backyards and sharing surpluses among friends and neighbours, yet through the experience of growing food, people realise they still need a variety of fresh food for good health.

This raised awareness globally is now being seen locally, with steadily increasing numbers of locals and visitors attending the Bellingen Farmers and Producers Market to catch their weekly fresh food fix.

The market is a small food-only market and has been deemed an essential

service by the Australian Federal Government since the outbreak of coronavirus.

As the market is held outdoors, it is considered a safer environment.

“We have physical distancing measures in place, hand sanitisers at market stalls and handwashing facilities at the entrance of the market as well as face masks for sale,” Bellingen Farmers and Producers Market operator Louise Hensby said.

“Farmers markets are a wonderful safe, outdoor place where the community can meet and support our local farmers by buying directly from them.”

There are around 15 regular stall holders selling a wide variety of local fresh produce including fruits and vegetables, microgreens, jams and chutneys, meat and vegetable jerkys, organic sourdough bread, hot and cold drinks, handmade pasta and pasta sauce, dips, delicious cakes, desserts and snacks, Australian teas, pasture-raised meats, seafood and herbs.

Customers can also purchase hot meals.

“The market is all about supporting the local and regional food system”, Louise explained.

“We are providing a place

q Abundant fresh food grown on the Mid North Coast is critical in securing our food security, Bellingen Farmers and Producers Market.

for young farmers to sell their produce each week, which in turns enables them to earn a steady and reliable source of income.

“Being a farmer and food producer is challenging work at the best of times, and getting more difficult in the climate we live in today.”

Louise is also working collaboratively with other

passionate people in the Mid North Coast region on projects to strengthen and secure clean food for the local community in the future.

The Bellingen Farmers and Producers Market operates every Wednesday afternoon from 2.30pm to 5.30pm at Bellingen Park, Church Street, next to the tennis courts.

AS if the COVID virus wasn’t enough, scammers are taking full advantage in an attempt to cheat Coffs Coast locals for their personal details and money.

There have been local reports of individuals receiving malicious phone calls and texts from scammers, claiming to be from government agencies.

They are either claiming the individual has been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID, or offering assistance in gaining government financial assistance.

Scamwatch has received over 3600 scam reports mentioning the coronavirus with over $2,382,000 in reported losses since the outbreak of COVID-19. “(We have seen) a 55 per cent increase in reports involving loss of personal information this year compared with the same period in 2019, totalling more than 24 000 reports and over $22 million in losses,” Scamwatch said.

“Scammers are pretending to be government

agencies providing information on COVID-19 through text messages and emails ‘phishing’ for your information.

“These contain malicious links and attachments designed to steal your personal and financial information.”

This Scams Awareness Week, there are some tips to ensure you don’t hand over your identity and details unwittingly. ● Do your own research and verify if someone is who they say they are. ● Be suspicious of emails and texts asking for your personal information, even if they look like they’re from a trusted source. ● Don’t share personal information online with someone you haven’t met in person. ● Use tools that help you check and protect your security online.

If you think you have been scammed or for more information, check out the Scamwatch website www. scamwatch.gov.au.

GUMBAYNGGIRR artist Brentyn Lugnan said the name of his new exhibition Tradigital is an expression of the last twenty to thirty

“The art shows how Aboriginal culture evolves.

It doesn’t move still.

“As we as a dynamic culture move forward, we will be using different methods to portray that

connection.

“It doesn’t matter about the pigment transferal device as it is all about the integrity of the stories that underlie the art,” he said.

Mr Lugnan is happy

q Artwork image Brentyn Lugnan, Jibaanga Yuludarla (Waterhole Dreaming) 2019 with the breadth of work chosen by the curators.

The twenty-nine pieces on show at the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery from this week are a collection of his body of work spanning thirty years, including an original piece of carpet designed by Ontera/Milliken.

The carpet is part of commissioned work by the National Aboriginal Design Agency and used for a whole range of carpets, utilising colours from Urunga and surrounds.

Coffs Harbour’s new stadium is carpeted in Brentyn’s designs.

“My works are all about me and my connecting and showing my family’s connection to my country in Urunga.

“My art is a reclamation of Gumbaynggirr culture,”

he said.

“We lost so much through the massacres that there is almost a renaissance at the moment for Aboriginal culture and a building of respect from the general public.”

Brentyn started drawing with his Dad around five or six years old.

When he was twenty four he got a job with Aboriginal Nations doing their dreaming series as an animator.

That was just the start he needed and it eventuated into a production coordinator role.

“That’s when I discovered there was an avenue to have a career in the arts.”

NEWS: CPL season turned upside down by COVID SPORTS

By Brad GREENSHIELDS

FURTHER COVID-safety requirements handed down

by the State Government has meant a drastic change to the Coastal Premier League season.

Monday saw the announcement that

community sport could not occur between zones of major regional areas for a minimum of six weeks.

This means the five Coffs Coast teams in the Coastal

Premier League won't be able to play against their opposition from Kempsey, Port Macquarie and Taree.

Four matches will be played on Saturday as the q New coronavirus restrictions have forced the inaugural Coastal Premier League season to be split into north and south conferences.

fixture is changed to have had all teams play each other once, enabling a CPL winner to be declared.

The team placed highest on the table after the final matches will be the inaugural premiership winner.

The teams still in the running to win the title are Port Saints, Coffs United, Boambee and Macleay Valley Rangers.

North Coast Football's general manager, Andrew Woodward, said when the competition was first formed, nobody could've envisaged what was to come.

"What an incredible birth year this has been for the Coastal Premier League.

Less than two months into the season, we’re now at version three of what we envisaged at the start of the season," Woodward said.

The season won't end abruptly for the local teams.

The competition will be split into a north and

"Krista normally plays in defence but today she excelled playing further up the pitch and scored five goals,” said Mr Witherdin.

“There's a great team atmosphere and the girls are delighted to be playing again because at one point we weren't sure if the season would go ahead.

With the Women's World Cup coming to Australia in 2023 it's an exciting time to

be playing Football."

The three points consolidated Boambee's position in second place on the ladder just behind the Urunga Raiders.

Coffs United Lionesses, Nambucca Strikers and Urunga Vikings are battling out third and fourth place on the ladder.

Scorpions have a sting in their tail

By Brad GREENSHIELDS

q Neither the Northern Storm or Sawtell could be separated after 90 minutes of their Coastal Premier League clash. Photo: Green Shoots Marketing

AT the start of the Coastal Premier League season a lot of local football pundits had their doubts about Sawtell’s ability to mix it with the big boys.

A late entrant and with a squad that often sees the average age of the starting side hover around the 18 mark, the Scorpions have proved the doubters wrong as evidenced by their one all draw against the Northern Storm on Saturday.

Sawtell coach Jody Jenkins said his young team is even exceeding his expectations.

Blues sisters find their mojo

By Brad GREENSHIELDS

HAVING recorded just the one win in their debut season last year, the women’s team at the Northern Beaches is showing huge improvement already.

The Blues faced an understrength Sawtell/ Toormina on Saturday and came away with a second win for this season and second place on the AFL North Coast ladder.

After an even first quarter at their Centennial Oval home, the Blues blew the game open in the second stanza with four unanswered goals to take a 29-point lead into the main break.

Jazlen Hooke scored all three of her goals in that term as Northern Beaches recorded its highest score since entering the league to win 10.8 (68) to 3.2 (20).

Club committee member and team utility Ashleigh Miller said there’s a number of factors that have contributed to the Blues’ improvement but one in particular stands out.

“I think it’s experience to be honest,” Miller said.

“A lot of the girls have played for a season now and some have played for two.

“This year we’ve got some

girls who’ve joined us from other sports. There’s some girls from soccer and we got some girls from netball.

“Having girls with those transferable skills that they can bring across has been a

out a thrilling draw.

Grafton will rue inaccuracy in front of goal as the Tigers had more scoring shots. Meanwhile the Saints were left with ‘what ifs’ regarding a couple of misses

from point blank range.

The Coffs Breakers earned a second consecutive win over Port Macquarie last weekend.

The Breakers dominated territory but couldn’t put the opposition away in the first half but drew away after the main break to win 11.14 (80)

to 7.5 (47).

This weekend will see Sawtell/Toormina and the Coffs Breakers meet in a local derby at Fitzroy Oval.

Port Macquarie and Grafton will both travel to Woolgoolga to meet on neutral territory.

Round 8 revs up

big help.”

When it comes to the men, proof of how tight the senior competition is in 2020 came when the top two teams, Grafton and Sawtell/Toormina played

“I think we’re over performing as a side and I think the longer we go into the season, the better we’ll get,” Jenkins said.

“To perform and compete

as well as they are, they’re showing they’re not the whipping boys.

They’re competing really well.”

Sawtell took the lead at Toormina Oval shortly before half time when Noah Armstrong converted an opportunity created further afield by a midfield interception.

After the resumption the Storm equalised through a cracking 20-metre left foot strike by Jamie Kennedy that lasered its way into the top right corner.

Both sides rued missed opportunities late in the contest to claim all three points.

Two matches are being played in Coffs Harbour on Saturday.

In their final matches of the Coastal Premier League season before the competition splits into north and south conferences, the Northern Storm will be at home against Coffs United while Sawtell will be at Toormina Oval to face neighbouring Boambee.

Lennox Rahman, Sonny Wilhelm and new club member Riley Boag had a great night of racing in the Sprocket Advance class.

In the Sprocket Beginner class Sonny Diacono, Dakota Jackson and Beau Oloman enjoyed their close racing.

of New England table A TEN try blitz not only earned the Harbour Knights a 58-0 victory over Barbarians but put them at the top of the New England Rugby Union table.

It was a margin few saw coming at half time when the home side led by fifteen points but a second half scoring frenzy put the Barbarians to the sword.

Peter Uikelotu, Shayde Perham and Adam Bain all scored doubles but the final margin could’ve been even greater if more than only four conversion attempts were successful.

According to Knights co-coach Brendan Hoy, the scoreboard was a bit of aberration.

“It was the weirdest 58-0 scoreline I’ve experienced. It felt quite strange,” he said.

q Josh Sketchley reaches out to score one of the ten tries the Harbour Knights scored against the Barbarians in their New England Rugby clash on Saturday. Photo: Green Shoots Marketing

“It felt like we were just going along in second gear in the first half and we weren’t chugging along any better than that.

“We didn’t let the other team score and that was good but there’s some things there we’ll need to work on.”

This Saturday the Knights

face their longest and most daunting road trip to face Tamworth.

The Magpies are one of the contenders for this year’s title

supporting your family’s future � innovative learning curriculum � natural playgrounds � continual staff development � 6 weeks to school age

along with the Knights and Walcha.

“There’s probably not much between the three of us,” Hoy said.

“A win this week and we’ll probably have top spot but a loss could see us drop back to third.
