Bruxner Park Flora Reserve to be regenerated FROM Page 1

Reserve.

The reserve is an area of special environmental and cultural significance within the Orara East State Forest, overlooking Coffs Harbour, and contains an abundance of natural wonders and award-winning experiences.

“We’re proud to work with the Gumbaynggirr Rangers and Forestry Corporation has a good working relationship with Envite Environment, who have assisted with the development and delivery of a number of ecological restoration projects in the state forests of the Coffs Coast over the past decade,” FCNSW’s Partnership Leader, Ryan Ellis said.

“The Bruxner Park Flora Reserve in Orara East State Forest has a range of naturebased experiences including forest walks, treetops adventures, the cultural tours and

café, amazing lookouts and a rich blend of Indigenous and European history.

“The current project of weed management is just a small part of the ongoing maintenance and management of the reserve to ensure the site continues to be appreciated into the future,” he said.

This partnership aims to maintain environmental values within the flora reserve through the removal of a range of target species including lantana, camphor laurel, tobacco tree, crofton weed, broadleaved paspalum and a range of common environmental weeds.

Priority areas for this work include around the Forest Sky Pier, as one of Coffs Harbour’s most iconic visitor sites, and the nearby Gumgali Track and Korora Lookout.

“Following the removal of weeds from target areas, the plan allows for revegetation of some sites with suitable species, but

this is heavily dependent on a break in the current dry conditions,” said Mick Webb, Area Manager Environmental Services, Envite Environment.

NWAC’s ranger team will work alongside Envite’s experienced bush regenerators to develop their existing skills and to experience and expand their capacity to deliver programs, which manage and protect Gumbaynggirr land and water.

“This partnership provides our team of rangers with good practical experience working on country that complements our team's existing skills and qualifications,” NWAC Head Ranger Jesse Shilling said.

Nathan Brennan, a Board Member at NWAC agreed, saying, “This will be a great learnt opportunity for our rangers to improve their skills for caring for country.

“We have always had a strong connection to Orara East State Forest.”

CORRECTION NEWS Of The Area would like to offer correction to information printed in our front-page story on 3 November.

The story, 'Urgent Care Clinic to ease pressure on hospital', indicated that CHC Medical would be reestablished as a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic.

This statement was incorrect.

CHC Medical will continue to function as a general practice, independent of the new Coffs Harbour Urgent Care Clinic (UCC).

Both entities will coexist, working collaboratively to provide comprehensive healthcare services to our community.

The UCC is committed to commencing operations by the end of November, delivering essential urgent care services to our community.

In the event of a medical emergency, patients should unconditionally dial 000 or immediately proceed to their nearest emergency department.

AGREEMENT QUASHED FROM Page 1

the Southern Cross University (SCU) Enterprise Agreement 2021.

The union claimed that the proposed agreement stripped core conditions including job security, procedural fairness and natural justice, and also offered an inferior pay outcome.

It said that, after more than a year of bargaining, SCU management decided to conduct a non-union ballot in October 2022.

The ballot narrowly succeeded and the agreement was subsequently approved by the Fair Work Commission, over NTEU objections.

The NTEU filed a Notice of Appeal, and the matter was heard by a Full Bench of the Commission on October 18.

The Full Bench found SCU had misled staff in emails that claimed a $750 sign-on bonus would be paid to all casual staff when a majority of staff voted in favour of the agreement.

The NTEU said management

was only required to pay, and only intended to pay, once the agreement was approved by the Fair Work Commission.

The Full Bench found that it could not safely conclude that the majority of staff who voted “genuinely agreed” to the Agreement.

The full bench upheld the NTEU's appeal and quashed the initial approval of the agreement.

NTEU General Secretary Dr Damien Cahill welcomed the decision.

"This is a massive win for

university staff who stood up for fair pay and conditions, and who supported contesting the validity of the ballot,” Dr Cahill said.

"The Full Bench decision now provides an opportunity for Southern Cross University management to address its relationship with its staff and their union by returning to the bargaining table and working on a fair deal that is sustainable and keeps pace with pay and conditions across the higher education sector.”

Dr Cahill said he hoped all universities “will take notice

will be talking about new solutions to the youth mental health crisis.

In an interview with the Herald Sun earlier this year Professor McGorry said, “Mental health services are facing a ‘disastrous’ staffing crisis with public youth mental health services, including headspace, losing about a third of their workers to the better paid private sector.

“The Federal Government has recently cut the number of subsidised mental health sessions available to Australians by half and

help lines like Lifeline are overwhelmed with demand.”

Prof McGorry said private psychologist, psychiatrist and GP waiting times had also blown out, leaving many young people in crisis with nowhere to turn.

Guests attending will have the opportunity to take a tour of the centre and meet the clinicians doing this important work and to find out about the services that headspace can offer to young people, their friends and family.

This event is open to professionals working in the physical and/or mental health sector.

Are you interested in working at headspace?

Jobs available are for General Practitioners, Allied Health and a clinical psychology registrar.

“We are always looking for motivated people who are passionate about the mental health and wellbeing of the young people in our community,” said a headspace spokesperson.

This is an ideal time to come along, listen to Professor McGorry’s views on youth mental health, and meet the team.

of this significant decision”.

“The NTEU will stand against any attempt to circumvent negotiations with Union members.”

Southern Cross University has since written to all staff following the ruling.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Tyrone Carlin, expressed his concern for the uncertainty that the ruling created for staff, but provided them with reassurance that the decision would not impact pay increases that had already been provided for Southern Cross employees.

Premier and Ministers visit Coffs Harbour

a koala and ground species such as wombats.

The Premier and Ministers faced the media to announce the establishment of panels - representing the views of industry, the community and Aboriginal groups - that will give feedback on the process of assessing land for inclusion in the national park as well as information on economic, social, ecological and cultural matters.

“The Industry, Community and Aboriginal Advisory Panels will ensure we consult with all stakeholders, to create a park that will both protect our native animals and create job, tourism and other economic opportunities on the Mid North Coast of NSW,” Premier Minns said.

Minister Moriarty said the NSW Government was working hard “to deliver our commitment to establish the Great Koala National Park and a sustainable timber industry for mid and northern NSW”.

Minister Sharpe discussed the importance of protecting koalas and acknowledged the work of National Parks and Wildlife Service staff in caring for native animals.

The Government has classified ‘koala hubs’ as areas where there is strong evidence of multigenerational, high-density populations and says they

NSW PREMIER Chris Minns, Environment Minister Penny Sharpe and Agriculture and Regional NSW Minister Tara Moriarty visited Coffs Harbour last Friday, November 3.

They were initially at Bongil Bongil National Park to announce the establishment of three advisory panels to provide input to the creation of the Great Koala National Park (GKNP).

Before addressing media representatives, they were given a briefing from Dr Adam Roff, one of the senior research scientists with the Department of Planning and Environment, about how sophisticated drones are being used to monitor koalas in forests.

The koala-seeking drones have been used in more than 800 surveys covering more than 50,000 hectares in NSW and have been a huge success.

Dr Roff said it has dramatically increased the efficiency of locating koalas.

He and his team have developed a drone-pilot training program and 45 ecologists are now qualified to use the technology.

Artificial intelligence engineers have also helped train the drones to distinguish between the heat signal of

account for 42 percent of recorded koala sightings in state forests in the assessment area since 2000.

It said timber harvesting operations have stopped in 106 koala hubs within the areas being assessed for inclusion in the park.

Minister Sharpe said consultation is planned to take about twelve months involving an economic assessment, that includes carbon, and that scientific and cultural considerations are also essential when creating a

national park.

“We’ve been waiting a very long time to even consider a koala national park and we want to do it right,” Sharpe said, reaffirming that determining factors include existing timber contracts and protecting jobs.

“If I could do it tomorrow I would,” Minister Sharpe said.

During the afternoon, in Coffs Harbour, the trio announced the ‘Destination Charging Program’ which opens applications by small

to medium regional tourism businesses and councils to install Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.

Successful applicants will receive 75 percent of the cost of purchasing and installing up to four charge points at each site.

Approximately 3,000 EV chargers will be installed at tourism destinations under the $10 million allocated for round two of the Program.

“Providing EV charging plugs at regional destinations across our state will help

make ‘range anxiety’ a concern of the past and give more drivers confidence to make EV purchases,” Minister Sharpe said.

Destinations could include motels, wineries, cafes, restaurants, natural attractions, visitor information centres, museums, zoos and local government facilities.

Following the successful rollout of the chargers, a series of EV tourist drives will be developed to promote EV travel across NSW. The Destination Charging Program is part of a $209 million investment in charging infrastructure which also includes $10 million in grants to retrofit apartments with EV chargers, $10 million for more kerbside charging and $149 million for ultrafast charging infrastructure.

“Regional residents, as well as tourists, deserve to have the confidence to be able to purchase EVs knowing the required charging infrastructure is available to them locally,” Minister Moriarty said.

Surveys show healthy koala population in Bongil Bongil

By Andrew VIVIAN

AFTER two postponements because of high winds, a small band of eighteen volunteers finally completed the fifth, and final, National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) koala survey of Bongil Bongil National Park for this year on the night of October 30.

The conditions were perfect for a night walk in the forest, with warm, calm conditions and a fat, yellow moon slowly rising from the north east horizon through the trees.

During the surveys, groups walk 1.5 kilometre tracks and return, while stopping at designated ‘audio points’ to play a male koala mating call and then listen for responses.

“The surveys are really important for several reasons,” said Glenn Storrie, Manager, National Parks and Wildlife Service, Coffs Harbour.

“They allow for checks on the koala population in Bongil Bongil National Park.

“We’ve found that, over the course of eleven years, there is a healthy population

of koalas distributed across the whole of the park.

“The other important aspect is citizen science in which local community members can learn about koalas, assist in monitoring them and participate in the conservation of koalas.

“I want to acknowledge the work of more than 300 volunteers over the last eleven years.

“It is very pleasing that so many people are willing to give up their time to help conserve koalas,” Mr Storrie said.

One group of volunteers did not see a koala but reported hearing one right at the end of their walk.

The three-person group found plenty of other interesting wildlife during their walk, including an echidna, two bandicoots, five great barred frogs and a striped marsh frog.

They also saw fluttering microbats hunting in their torch beams for darting insects, a spider that looked suspiciously like a funnel web, and heard a couple of sugar gliders ‘yapping’.

In another group, a new

volunteer was thrilled to spot a small koala barely off its mother’s back.

A third group heard a very loud male calling in response to their audio call, then turned on the spotlights and found him glaring at them from a nearby tree.

Interesting facts to emerge from this year’s surveys include koalas being once again seen right across the park, with strong evidence of recent successful breeding found on two tracks.

Tallowwood was once again the species of tree most likely to house a Bongil Bongil koala.

A sick male koala, likely suffering from chlamydia (wet bottom) and blind in one eye, was seen on a track on the park boundary.

This was a first for the survey program, and a worrying sign the NPWS staff will closely monitor over coming months.

Over ten years a total of six koalas have been recorded as seen on Gordons Road, while this survey season five koalas were seen there, almost doubling the figure in a single year’s surveying.

ENVIRONMENT advocates from the Coffs Coast and beyond were left disappointed and angry last week when Environment Minister Penny Sharpe cancelled a meeting with them at the last minute.

Key stakeholders of and voluntary advocates for the Great Koala National Park (GKNP) had been invited to an afternoon meeting, on Friday November 3, with the Minister, while she was visiting Coffs Harbour.

About 20 people accepted the invitation and attended the Coffs Harbour Community Village, ready to begin the meeting at the scheduled time of 4:30pm.

Upon arrival they were told that Ms Sharpe would not be attending because a group of people, including Knitting Nannas members with protest signs, and media, was waiting at the entrance to the Community Village.

Some attendees had driven from as far as an hour and a half (each way) to engage with the Minister

that this was not ideal, most accepted.

A participant told News Of The Area, “The meeting was very respectful and everyone at the meeting was looking forward to finding solutions.”

The participant said the Minister was responsive to an invitation to visit some of the logging sites, and, while there was no promise of immediate action and there were concerns over logging continuing, the feeling in the meeting was generally positive.

because of their concern for native animals and their habitats.

They were bitterly disappointed and mystified at Ms Sharpe’s non-attendance at a meeting that they understood was organised on her behalf.

Ms Sharpe’s office declined to comment on the meeting cancellation, but attendees were contacted on Saturday by the Minister’s office with the offer of a Zoom meeting on Tuesday evening.

Festival calls for end to native logging

By Andrew VIVIAN

DESPITE thunderstorms, hundreds of people crammed into a giant marquee in Nambucca Heads for the Maagunda Muruygu Festival for Forests on Saturday, November 4.

Attendees came to celebrate forests and call for an end to native forest logging in NSW. One of the organisers, City of Coffs Harbour councillor Jonathan Cassell, crowdfunded nearly $10,000 to cover the costs of the festival.

“I’m doing this because people want to see our forests protected and I’m using free events like this to keep the community informed,” he said.

Mr Cassell said the idea began with an invitation from Gumbaynggirr Elder Uncle Micklo Jarrett to hold an event on Gumbaynggirr land.

He said entertainers came from Byron, the Central Coast and Sydney, along with emerging Coffs Coast

band Blind Pretty, and the organisers only had to cover their costs.

W e l l - k n o w n environmentalist and former politician Bob Brown received a huge ovation when he said he would return to the upper Kalang River if logging proceeds there in the coming months.

Dr Brown told the crowd, “Don’t get depressed, get active!”, urging them to peacefully protest in defence of the forests, koalas, greater gliders and the myriad of birds to be found.

“We are charged with saving what’s left of the wild forests for future generations as well as other species that have a right to exist on this planet,” he said.

Dr Brown condemned the State Government for committing to a Great Koala National Park before this year’s election but allowing logging to continue in the proposed park precinct.

He said that while Premier Chris Minns had been in Coffs Harbour the

day before the festival to announce consultations, forests were still being logged despite 80 percent of Labor voters wanting it halted.

Uncle Micklo Jarrett

welcomed the throng to Gumbaynggirr country and then entertained the crowd with songs celebrating the forests in the Gumbaynggirr language.

Greens MLA Sue Higginson assured the crowd that native forest logging will be halted but the timing depended on the rising public campaign.

q Former politician and environmentalist Bob Brown addresses the crowd. Photo: Chris Hewgill.

She said that logging of the public forests in NSW had been subsidised by more than $20 million of taxpayers’ money in the last two years.

Jenny Weber, of the Bob Brown Foundation, which organised the festival, said, “Bob Brown and I visited the stunning Upper Kalang forests yesterday with ecologist Mark Graham.

“It is a global shame that logging roads are still being built into koala habitat and the proposed logging should be permanently banned.

“Rallying with the people who want protection for the mid-north coast NSW native forests will keep happening until native forest logging is ended.”

Help support farmers affected by bushfires NSW FARMERS has activated its natural disaster fund to accept cash donations to support farmers in Northern NSW affected by the recent bushfires.

This Bushfire Appeal

has been established under the NSW Farmers Natural Disaster Relief Fund, a registered charity that supports farmers in NSW affected by bushfires and floods.

NSW Farmers CEO

Annabel Johnson said recent bushfires in NSW had severely impacted communities already battling drought-like conditions, with pasture burnt and expensive repair bills on the way.

“These fires have had a terrible impact on communities who faced the ferocity of Black Summer just four years ago,” Ms Johnson said.

To find out more and to make a donation head to

www.nswfarmers.org.au/ ndrf.

Farmers affected by the bushfires can report stock losses and infrastructure damage, and request animal assessment or emergency fodder or water for stock, by

calling the Agricultural and Animal Services Hotline on 1800 814 647.

People without phone access can send a direct message via the NSW DPI Facebook page.

Red Cross’ Doreen awarded for Outstanding Service

By Andrea FERRARI

THE WOOLGOOLGA Red Cross Branch's Doreen Liddle has been presented with the Australian Red Cross Outstanding Service Award at the organisation’s recent AGM in Sydney.

Doreen joined the Branch in 2007 and has never hesitated to volunteer to help in many ways.

For over fifteen years she has been the Branch Historian responsible for maintaining

the scrapbook records which have been going since 1991.

For many years she took on the role of Catering Coordinator for the monthly Friendship Afternoon Teas; ordering food, supervising helpers, arranging table settings and generally ensuring everyone had a great time.

Her more recent role has been as Trauma Teddy Coordinator.

Since 2018 Doreen has worked with a team

of knitters, completed the filling and sewing, attached happy faces and distributed a constant supply of quality controlled and lovable teddies to doctors’ surgeries, hospitals and other appropriate places.

“I was so excited to be in Sydney for the presentation of the Award and humbled by the amount of work other Red Cross volunteers do for the disadvantaged,” Doreen said.

“It was such a thrill and made me want to work even harder to help.”

Doreen has already worked on over 1500 teddies and regularly delivers 50 or

more a month.

“She certainly is an excellent role model and very deserving of her award,” Woolgoolga Red Cross President Carol Rowe told News Of The Area.

Back in September, the busy branch held an Awareness Day at the Beach Markets.

“This was a great success in raising our profile and reminding people of just how much the Red Cross does to help others”, said Carol.

“On display were our lovable Trauma Teddies, who provide such a great support q Trauma Teddies awaiting new homes at the doctors’ surgery.

for youngsters who are suffering.

“It is a timely reminder too that, with the storm and disaster season with us already, we are stockpiling teddies for emergency distribution.”

Red Cross Emergency Services Officer Erik Rau was in attendance at the market day to give welcome advice to people about emergency planning and evacuation guidelines.

Volunteers with the Hands On Program at the Woolgoolga Retirement Village were also on hand to give sample massages and discuss the value of the program where volunteers chat with residents and provide gentle hand massages

and nail care.

As a spin off from the branch’s knitting projects members recently were able to donate a number of knee rugs and blankets to Woolgoolga Retirement Village.

With special thanks to Marg Sullivan, a new volunteer with the Branch, smaller blankets were crocheted and sewn together to make this beautiful collection, some of which will be used in welcome packets for new residents at the Village.

“It is a real pleasure to work on the branch’s collection and see how well they were received at the Village by staff and residents,” Marg commented.

AFFORDABLE HAIRCARE There’s a reason why we’re encouraged to get our cars serviced regularly or visit the doctor for periodic health check-ups. Unexpected issues can still arise whether due to accident or unforeseen circumstances, but regular maintenance and servicing help to prevent many problems.

It’s the same for your hair. If you have a disaster with bleach, the need is for some serious treatment and probably a fairly drastic haircut. Over processing your hair will irreversibly damage it.

Regular maintenance is far more effective. If you use bleach frequently, your hair will need protein and a daily or weekly treatment at home will be more beneficial than an occasional salon treatment. Similarly, curly hair invariably needs more moisture, as does hair that is sun or saltwater scorched.

Thankfully, unlike your car, you don’t need a mechanic in the family to be able to give your hair regular maintenance at home. You might even save yourself a pricey trip to the garage salon.

Pop in to potters this Open Studios weekend

By Andrea FERRARI POP in to peruse potters at work during the popular Australian Ceramics Open Studios event taking place over the weekend of 11 and 12 November 2023.

A nationwide event, creatives on the Mid North Coast are keenly welcoming visitors into their workspaces as they pursue their art.

Celebrating clay, community and creativity, this year’s event coincides with the Bellingen Shire Arts Trail.

“Last year, the ceramicists who participated in our area welcomed hundreds of visitors,” Bellingen potter Clare Danby told News Of The Area.

“We love the energy that visitors bring on the Open Studios weekend.

“It’s a great opportunity for those who are intrigued, as well as enthusiastic clay converts, to experience a great range of making and

Described as a “lovely quirky space” her Studio and Gallery will show both sculptural and functional work, with items for sale.

Bellingen’s Reanne Brewin has been a potter for two decades.

“I have a beautiful studio here in Bellingen where I teach and create my own sculptural and functional pottery.

“During the weekend my students’ work will be showcased in their annual exhibition and my pots will be for sale.”

For the two days of Open Studios, Woolgoolga’s Allan’s Art offers demonstrations on the hour, and is showing a large variety of stoneware and raku pottery made using coils, slabs, wheel and

extruder.

Tea and coffee is available, or chat with Allan about pottery on display, how it’s made, or just have a look at the succulents and ceramics in the garden.

Based in Coffs Harbour, Luke Ford told NOTA, “Please feel welcome to visit my ceramics studio, where I offer classes and create both sculptural and functional ceramics.

“Visitors can enjoy a cup

After completing her qualifications in ceramics, she has become a practicing studio potter and has started teaching intimate boutique

wheel-throwing classes.

Some students will be at Jane’s studio during the weekend and will be pleased to share the pottery experience.

Much-travelled local snaps a show at YAM

By Andrea FERRARI

MUCH-TRAVELLED artist Gareth Budge returns to his home city for his first exhibition at Yarrila Arts and Museum (YAM).

Entitled ‘When In Rome’, the exhibition is a photography series shot in Rome capturing the everchanging form of urban q DESPAIR I 2023, a pigment print by Gareth Budge in his When in Rome exhibition.

‘wildposting’.

“Wildposting is a public information service, a time stamp, an unconscious collaboration offering a tangle of stories about time and space - to create chance formations, revealing and obscuring the undertones of a place,” Gareth told News Of The Area.

“I love how accessible yet

obscure this artform is.

“Wildposting walls are ever changing - altered and impacted by natural and unnatural elements.

“There one day and gone the next, creating a form of unconscious collaboration.”

For Gareth it all started in downtown Los Angeles, California where, in 2016, he was living in Echo Park near

“The intersection near my house would be covered in everchanging wildposting,” he said.

“I noticed they would regularly update these posters, which would then decay and be manipulated by the weather or passersby and take on the most incredible abstract formations.

“Then they would disappear and be replaced by new band advertising or movie posters relevant to that point in time.”

Intrigued, he threw his camera over his shoulder one day and decided to capture sections that caught his eye.

“After a few months I showed a close friend what I had documented, and their reaction made me realise I wasn't a crazy person and have been taking photos of walls ever since.”

In the lead up to When In Rome, YAM hosted a workshop with young people who created a large-scale installation that is on show as part of the exhibition.

Young creatives were invited to the YAM Digital Studio during the school holidays to create a digital poster responding to the question “What event would you like to see or experience in Coffs Harbour?”.

Participants were encouraged to think about place, reflecting on the culture that makes an area.

“The amazing YAM curator and program staff at Yarrila Arts and Museum for the City of Coffs Harbour made this happen,” said Gareth.

“Coffs Harbour born and raised, I never thought I would see such a unique and diverse space with a refreshing level of support for the youth and emerging creatives.

“I wanted to use this platform to share and welcome the youth into the space to create a piece to

sit alongside my current body of work, to show that galleries can be exciting, fun and an open and inviting space.”

The aim was to get a younger demographic through the doors of the new YAM. “I feel truly humbled to be one of the first to exhibit and work alongside the amazing people at the City of Coffs Harbour that have worked tirelessly to bring this cultural hub to life - I wish this existed when I was their age.”

The City’s acting Director City Planning and Communities, Ian Fitzgibbon, said he was delighted to see another world-class exhibition open at the City’s new, state-ofthe-art facility.

“The added bonus here is that we’re showcasing an artist who grew up in Coffs Harbour,” said Ian. “And now he is empowering and inspiring our City’s young creatives.

“It’s a great example of YAM fulfilling its vision to illuminate knowledge, arts,

heritage, and community creativity.”

Gareth believes his fascination with wildposting comes from his beginnings in a regional town.

"I guess you naturally tend to appreciate the smaller things that are often overlooked by people occupying these fast-paced lively cities.

“After experiencing what the world has to offer it's clear how much my hometown has shaped who I am today as an artist and an individual.”

A former Coffs Harbour Jetty High School student, he developed a passion for surfing at an early age.

“I learnt to surf in both Coffs Harbour and Sawtell.

“Boambee Beach Gallows at one end in summer and Trapdoors the other end of the beach in winter.

“I was lucky enough to be considered by the surfing community a local at both beaches, a rare honour.”

When In Rome is on now, through to 10 December, with free entry.

Young people grow their culture

By Andrew VIVIAN HUNDREDS of students from Coffs Harbour public schools braved the rain and were treated to cultural performances by local Indigenous students late last month.

The morning, which took place at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium on Thursday, October 26, during the inaugural NSW Aboriginal Languages Week, featured a smoking ceremony, dance performances and storytelling.

The Gumbaynggirr Giingana Freedom School performed two short Gumbaynggirr songs.

Korora Public School students also performed a song in Gumbaynggirr taught to them by Uncle Micklo Jarrett.

Chris McDonald, Aboriginal Education Officer at Orara High School, said students from Toormina, Orara and Coffs Harbour High Schools have been coming together to learn about culture, dance and didgeridoo making and playing for the past three

terms.

As word spread about the program, requests began flooding in from local schools for the high school students to come and perform.

The decision was made to invite the region’s public schools to a performance event, so that participating students didn’t miss out on classes but could still celebrate their skill, talent

and share their connection to their culture.

Bronson Lockwood, Aboriginal Education Officer at Toormina High School, said twelve boys bought raw wood for didgeridoo making scraping off the bark and sanding their traditional instruments.

They have been chiselling out the insides and are getting to the stage of waxing.

While doing this they have also been learning how to circular breathe and

play their didgeridoos.

Michelle Elliot, Acting Principal at Orara High School, said, ”The students wanted our programs back after Covid.

“Most of these young people know each other already so it’s a great way to bring them and their families together.”

She said the collaboration between schools has been growing and local primary schools have become increasingly involved.

Taranta Festival highlights true meaning of community

q Bundagen Flamenco Dancers.

Photo: Jeremy Thomas.

By Mary KEILY BELLINGEN’S recent Taranta Festival celebrated Italian and Mediterranean culture with an array of sounds, flavours and authentic experiences.

The community festival, held from 2-5 November, brought the community together through dance and song.

“We hope to make it an annual event and for the community to believe it belongs to them,” Festival coorganiser Hayley Egan told NOTA. “It exceeded expectations with the way it was received by the community, both in attendance and feedback.

“Overwhelmingly positive!”

Hayley said.

In 2019, her partner and Festival Artistic Director, Salvatore Rossano, held a Taranta Festival in Melbourne.

In 2020, the Festival was cancelled due to the pandemic.

The family then moved up to Bellingen, bringing the Festival with them.

“We don’t have that strong Italian presence here like there is in Melbourne, so we are aiming to get everyone to get in touch with their own roots and traditions and learn about others and experience the arts in that collective way,” said Hayley.

This concept was cemented through a ‘Sharing Circle’ at the Festival in which people raising children

shared their experiences of what it is to be bilingual.

This included parents who were Swedish, Mexican, Italian, Greek and Dutch.

Poignant moments were also captured during the Festival’s evening concert at the Bellingen Memorial Hall.

The Valla Voices choir sang, from the perspective of a local fisherman, about the plight of displaced refugees from North Africa ending up in the little villages of Southern Italy.

The audience sang ‘Hallelujah’ with Israeli singer

Jonny walks for Cancer Council

By Andrea FERRARI

WALKING 900 kilometres from Byron to Sydney, Jonathan Woods is on a mission to raise $5,000 for the Cancer Council.

He’s chosen a coastal route and is traversing beaches he describes as “undiscovered gems”.

News Of The Area met up with Jonathan on Look At Me Headland as he passed through Coffs Harbour.

He’s already halfway to his fundraising target, having reached just over $2,500 in donations.

Jonathan said he was enjoying the eye opening experiences the trek is providing.

“I keep coming across unpopulated, ‘secret’ beaches that no one knows about and can’t wait to bring my family back to experience,” Jonathan told NOTA. It is all a journey of discovery for the 60-yearold Byron Shire Council staff member, as he steps out solo everyday on to another seaside or headland hike.

“Our family has been impacted by cancer; family members and friends,” Jonathan explained.

“I like that Cancer Council keeps it local and has a broad-brush approach across

Passing through Coffs, Jonathan had the offer of a bed for the night.

“My boss at Byron Council was brought up in Coffs Harbour where his parents are still living; I’m staying over at their farm here.”

So far his day walks have been uneventful, but continually provide a connection with nature in all its beauty from dawn ‘til dusk.

However, dumped

plastic abounds along some stretches of the coast.

“I pick up plastic along the way.

“There’s lots washed up onto the beaches and in creeks, and I add it to the piles I have found which have been created by others for the local councils to pick up.”

He is enjoying the journey, focusing on the beautiful sights he sees every day and is looking forward to finishing his journey on Tuesday 5 December, when he plans to reach Sydney, where he will celebrate with family and friends.

With around one in two Australians diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, Jonathan is asking the local community to support his Big Walk to Sydney.

Calling budding botanists

By Andrea FERRARI

q The Australian Plant Society's Coffs Harbour group on an outing to Coramba Reserve recently.

THE AUSTRALIAN Plants Society (APS) NSW’s Coffs Harbour District Group is hosting its Annual General Meeting with a specialist speaker on Tuesday 14 November.

The AGM will take place at 7pm in the Display Room at the North Coast Regional Botanic Gardens.

“Our speaker will be Shelley Rowntree, whose talk has the intriguing title of ‘Chasing Daisies – integrated taxonomy to understand an iconic Australian native’,” said Angela Lownie, Membership Officer, APS Coffs Harbour.

Currently, Shelley is undertaking a Ph.D. focusing on ‘The systematics of Chrysocephalum

(Asteraceae)’, work which will form the basis of her presentation on Tuesday.

“Personally, I love the colourful long lasting iconic Paper Daisies which grace my garden each year and at present,” said Angela.

“I am really looking forward to learning more about this family of gorgeous plants from this excellent speaker.

“We hope all gardening enthusiasts and budding botanists will join us for this special evening.”

Shelley left behind a career in IT to pursue her passion for plants, combining a fascination for nature with a love of mathematics and data.

Now a BSc graduate with First Class Honours from the

University of New England, she received the University Medal for her study of the systematics of Lepidosperma (Cyperaceae).

The APS program for the evening includes, as usual,

supper, a fundraising raffle and a specimen table.

“Visitors and prospective members are always welcome,” said Angela.

The business section will include the appointment of

the Committee for 2024.

“We are looking forward to filling the vacancies of President, Vice President and Secretary as the current incumbents are standing down after many valued

years of service,” Angela said.

Nominations can be made now by contacting secretary Rob on 0427 710 449 or Angela on 0408 605 057.

ACCORDING to recent studies, women represent approximately just 20 percent of the automotive industry.

"Now, more than ever, businesses will need to turn their attention to

growing their talent pool.

“COVID-19 has made an existing skills shortage even worse," Dr Imogen Reid, Lead Strategy and Policy Industry Divisions Manager of Women in Automotive/ VACC said.

"Whilst we see a growing awareness of the positive impact gender diversity can have on a business – in terms of culture and bottom line – the metrics are moving too slowly."

To address these issues Apprenticeship Careers Australia, in conjunction with the NSW Government, are running a program in the Coffs Coast region called Women In Auto.

This is a five-day pre-

employment training program designed to assist women gain work experience and get a feel for different spaces within the automotive industry.

The course commences 29 January 2024 for five

days and will consist of TAFE training and work experience.

Spaces are limited so contact Bonnie Capell at Apprenticeship Careers on 0437167326 to find out more.

Under not over at Coramba Road Interchange

By Andrea FERRARI

READING News Of The Area’s two reports on the proposed design changes to the Coffs bypass Coramba Road interchange, Coffs Harbour resident Trevor Crisell was puzzled when he perused the photograph of the said interchange.

“There have been two NOTA editions published now, one last Friday and the other two Fridays ago, wherein there is a map/ diagram displayed of the proposed Coramba Road interchange on the new Coffs Harbour bypass," Trevor told NOTA in October.

“Both pictures show the new highway passing over the dumbbell interchange.

“I believe this depiction to be incorrect and displays a radical alteration to the proposed plan should it prove to be true.

“I have contacted the office for the works, and they have assured me that the original plan is still in place and that the new highway will be passing underneath the dumbbell interchange as has been shown in all of the press releases thus far.”

NOTA went straight to its

source at Transport for NSW who supplied the photos, and who were equally keen on clarification.

With patience being a virtue, NOTA sat tight and waited.

It paid off, and we received acknowledgment of the mistake, a correct photograph and a comment from Transport for NSW. q Under not over: The new motorway will go under the barbell interchange at Coramba Road.

“Transport for NSW thanks the eagle-eyed reader of News Of The Area for picking up an error in the one of the interchange maps for the Coffs Harbour bypass, where we had the motorway passing over the ‘barbell’ (previously referred to as ‘dumbbell by TfNSW) interchange instead of the other way around.

“Transport also thanks News Of The Area for the opportunity to show the correct map.”

whatever number of people you can legally fit in your car.”

On the day, each team will get a booklet, map, a series of clues and puzzles to solve, as well as tasks and challenges to perform as they set off on a journey to discover hidden gems and information about the Coffs Coast that many may not know about.

“All this while experiencing the fantastic natural beauty of the area, almost like being a tourist in

your own backyard.

“It’s not a race; we want people to enjoy the day out and discover some of the hidden gems of this fantastic place,” said Angie.

Along the way, teams will collect points with a magnificent trophy awarded to the team with the highest score.

Rescue Run stipulated participants could run, walk or roll 56km for the 56,000 animal cruelty complaints received by the RSPCA nationally each year.

The distance could be broken down into daily doses or achieved however it suited participants.

Ari Herson donates to a number of charities each year and through this he received information from the RSPCA about the Rescue Run. “I contacted Shane Newton, a local friend of mine, to see if he’d be interested in forming Team Sapphire and

doing it together,” Ari told News Of The Area.

Both Ari and Shane are active volunteers for another charity in Coffs Harbour and Shane had previously put his name down to volunteer with the RSPCA. With Shane on board, the pair contacted people they knew via email, sharing information about Rescue Run and a link to donate as well as posting it on the local community Facebook page.

Speaking with NOTA at the end of October, prior to the end of Rescue Run at the end of the month, Ari said, “To date we’ve raised $2,563.

“Shane and I combined walking and bike riding to complete the 56km over essentially three days.

“These days with the number of charities seeking funds and volunteers it’s difficult determining which ones to support.

“The RSPCA, being a non-profit organisation that attends to roughly 56,000 reports of animal cruelty each year as well as providing shelters and veterinary hospitals for their animals and people seeking assistance for their animals, is in my mind a deserving charity.

“With the number of people who bought animals during Covid that have

surrendered them to the RSPCA, the task of care and adoption is becoming a major concern.

“My motivation is to help others both human and animal as far as possible within my time and physical constraints,” said Ari. The RSPCA NSW Inspectorate performs a crucial role in enforcing state animal cruelty legislation.

Each kilometre achieved represents one thousand cruelty reports investigated by the Inspectorate across the country.

“Our inspectors are out on the road every single day, educating the community on responsible pet ownership and rescuing animals who have experienced cruelty,” said RSPCA NSW Inspector James Arentz.

Every single dollar raised from Rescue Run will make a difference to the lives of the animals who have been rescued from cruelty: $35 can provide a kennel, bath, and meals for a neglected dog that has been rescued. $55 can help pay for the transport of animals to shelters to increase their chance of being adopted. $100 could subsidise the cost of prosecuting a cruelty offender in court.

emergencies, capsized vessels and search and rescue missions for missing people,” Commissioner Barrell said.

57 percent of calls for assistance received by Marine Rescue NSW volunteers in October were for mechanical or fuel issues.

“We are pleading with boaters to make sure that their vessel is in good working order before heading out, please carry enough fuel with some in reserve and make sure everyone on board is wearing a lifejacket,” Commissioner Barrell said.

818 people were safely returned to shore by Marine Rescue NSW volunteers across the state last month.

Marine Rescue NSW volunteers managed 16,074 radio calls through local unit bases.

Relive the early days of rock’n’roll MARK Laria was at a yard sale in the back streets of Melbourne when he came across a rusty old film can; inside it was Rock’n’Roll, a film made in 1959 widely regarded as one of the most important cultural artefacts from the post-war period.

Rock’n’roll was a concert film and the brainchild of American music promoter Lee Gordon; it captured the short-lived but crucial phase in the genesis of Rock’n’roll just prior to the ‘Merseybeat’ invasion.

But the film was believed to have been lost forever when a removalist working for the film's director Lee Robinson accidentally took the only copy of the film to the tip in the early 1970s, and then many decades later it was miraculously discovered and meticulously restored over three years.

Rock’n’Roll is now making its way across the country in a modern-day roadshow, hitting the Jetty Theatre screen for a matinee screening at 2pm on Sunday, December 3.

Rock’n’Roll showcases the cream of Australian rock’n’roll performers of the era - Johnny O’Keefe, Col Joye, Johnny Devlin, The Delltones, Johnny Rebb, Lonnie Lee, The Graduates, The Crescents and Warren Williams.

Shot over four different concerts on 16 and 17 October 1959 at the iconic Sydney Stadium in front of thousands of screaming fans, Lee Robinson’s film company, Southern International Films, utilised seven stateof the-art 35mm cinematography cameras and a unique audio recording set-up.

As Australian youths clamoured to join the wave of American pop culture that began to pour into the country in the 1950s, via film radio and television, Rock’n’Roll captures the critical cultural flashpoint in outstanding audio and visual quality that were years ahead of its time.

Whether you were there in person or just in spirit, Rock’n’Roll is a must-see for anyone who loves early days rock’n’roll.

received, and, as well as two parent sessions, 100 copies of a teen drug education book were distributed to parents that focuses on how to have conversations with young people to minimise harm when it comes to experimentation and risk taking behaviours.

Another group is coordinating a meeting between Bellingen and Dorrigo High School leaderships to plan a sport/wellbeing gala day between the schools.

Bellingen High School groups are pitching their projects on November 16 at the school.

One group wants to partner with Rotary and Bellingen Shire Council to upgrade the chess tables in Church Street, and another is aiming to develop a strategy that ensures youth get a say on the future of the Shire.

October saw the release of the second YOUth Speak survey, which is open for youth 12-24 from the Bellingen Shire.

This will help organisers draw comparisons between results and see if the previous concerns are still relevant – for example, initially, 71 percent said mental health was a concern, 70 percent highlighted alcohol and drugs, 78 percent said they didn’t feel like they have a say in the future of the Bellingen shire and 38 percent said they didn’t know where to seek help or support.

The Project also saw one young leader who stood out in the YOUth Speak Project, nineteen-year-old Sam Daykin, to be fully funded to go to Canberra to be part of the National Leadership Forum, where he rubbed shoulders with the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition and other MPs, as well as leaders and youth leaders from across the country.

Ms Tree said YOUth Speak is a Neighbourhood Centres of Bellingen Shire initiative, funded by the Office of Regional Youth with huge support from Council, the three Chambers of Commerce, and many community organisations who have attended events over the past twelve months and volunteered to facilitate and scribe conversations where they can.

AN initiative to have the voices of young people inform the strategic direction of the services funded to provide support to them commenced in Bellingen Shire in October 2022.

Ellie Tree, the Project Manager for The YOUth Speak Project, said it was driven largely by the youth services and community

The day was like a kitchen table conversation, where facilitators and scribes were leaders from the community such as Chamber of Commerce Presidents, teachers and school staff, Council staff, P&C members, older youth, etc.

“Between the surveys we had the YOUth Speak Forum and a dozen or so project sessions to support groups of young people to form their own projects,” Ms Tree said.

“The Forum teased apart the survey results further and identified three key themes in terms of concerns for youth that fell under safety, isolation and alcohol and drugs.”

From there, 48 young people led nine projects from across the Shire focusing on infrastructure, programs and advocacy.

For example, Dorrigo young people pitched their ideas to the broader community at a session held at Dorrigo High School, leading to a commitment for fully funding a youth night in Dorrigo, collective advocacy and grant applications working groups for a concept design for an upgrade of the Dorrigo Skate Park, and free access to the Dorrigo Recreation space for youth to increase social connections and healthy options for youth on the plateau.

One project that has been fully funded and conducted saw the CEO of Drug Ed Australia provide harm minimisation strategies for all young people at both public high schools in the Bellingen Shire.

Red Cross bakes for bucks

By Andrea FERRARI RED Cross Coffs Harbour branch’s Big Cake Bake took place recently outside the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood Coffs Harbour Donor Centre at HomeBase.

This is an annual fundraising event.

The Coffs Harbour branch members were keen to show off their baking skills and try out new recipes, with the tables filled with delicious

goodies, much to the delight of the passers-by, who purchased most of the items on sale.

Members of the community also took the opportunity to chat and update with Red Cross members about the involvement of Red Cross in Coffs Harbour and thanked them for their continued volunteer community support.

While the conditions were cold and blustery, the

weather did not dampen the spirits of the volunteers and the customers, who were kept entertained by the lively antics of the Blood Service staff.

They were also having a recruitment drive for blood donors and had also enlisted the aid of Radio 105.5 to promote the event.

Funds raised at the Cake Bake will go towards assisting local communities with Emergency Preparedness, by helping the aged and vulnerable and by being there in times of crisis.

Summer celebrated in community garden

raining.”

Following this on Sunday 3 December is a bee-focused day in the garden with two talks.

Starting at 10am, lasting for just under two hours, the first talk is all about honeybees.

The talk will be presented by bee experts from Coffs Beekeeping Supplies in Woolgoolga.

“This educational event is for people wanting to get into keeping European bees, i.e. bees that sting but give honey.

“People are invited to attend this introductory workshop that goes into what the physical and legal requirements are for keeping bees.”

In particular the content will cover managing Varroa mite and other pests and diseases now common in honey bee hives such as hive beetles.

“We’ll be looking at how to get started and how to keep your hive healthy and productive.”

The second talk starts at 1.30pm when Peter will talk about pollination and about keeping native stingless bees.

“I’ll be talking about how

to keep these bees healthy and ways to get small amounts of sugar-bag honey and how to split a hive.”

Peter will outline some of the unique differences between native stingless bees and European honeybees.

He’ll also discuss ways to track a native beehive and ways to ‘bud’ a new hive from a log or an existing hive.

Entry to both bee workshops is by donation, with attendees requested to bring a snack to share.

q The stingless bees’ split box shows the eggs and larvae in the spiral circle with the honey bags around the outer edge.

Finding Frankie: The Valli voice

By Andrea FERRARI

q Musical Director Maureen Burgess and Director Vanessa Crossley, who previously worked together to bring Priscilla Queen of the Desert to the stage, are combining forces once again to produce Jersey Boys in Coffs Harbour.

Robyn publishes fifth book at 81

By Andrea FERRARI CAPTIVATED by the beautiful image of a magpie drawn by her longtime friend and illustrator Jules Faber, local author Robyn McLennan brewed a children’s story that she penned to paper, now published as ‘Guess What Happened in Paddington Park…’.

A resident of Marian Grove in Toormina, Robyn, at 81, is full of beans having her fifth book produced and already stocked in The Book Warehouse Coffs Harbour.

“The story is a tale about a loveable Magpie called Maynard who lives with his friends in Paddington Park,” Robyn told News Of The Area.

“He also has a very special friend called Harriet McTavish.

“This is the fifth book that Jules and I have worked on.”

The previous books were a trilogy about The Clunkertons of Sunnybank Creek, published in 2011 and 2013, and ‘It's All About Mary…’, published in 2015.

Until moving to Sydney a few years ago, Jules was a local identity in Coffs Harbour as a successful cartoonist and illustrator.

Among other projects, he has illustrated Anh Do's ‘Weirdo’ books for children.

Writing this new story was brought about by Jules' interest in drawing birds.

“In February this year he sent me a beautiful drawing of a magpie,” said Robyn.

“I couldn't take my eyes off it, it was just brilliant and so very, very good.

“It didn't take me long after continually staring at the drawing each day that a story began to emerge, and I sent it to Jules to get his opinion.”

A few drafts later and having to cut the story right down, they began another journey which took about five months to complete.

“Emailing backwards and forwards was most interesting, particularly as I am not very competent on the computer but my

Friday, 10 November 2023

son, thankfully, was always there to assist with my computer woes,” she said.

“The whole project evolved into a real team effort between four of us; my son and I, Jules and his daughter.

“Jules did the illustrations, design and layout of the book and his daughter did the colours.

“Both the illustrations and colours are outstanding, and the story brilliantly brought to life by Jules."

Friends have said it is a pleasure to read out loud to the age four-plus audience it is aimed at.

The book is available at The Book Warehouse, Coffs Harbour as well as Coffs’ Botanic Gardens for $15, and the proceeds will be going to a local charity here in Coffs Harbour.

On Sunday 26 November, The Link, Hogbin Drive will be holding its Christmas Market and Robyn hopes to be there with her books, from 9:30am to 3pm.

TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE

Gowings Coffs Central Christmas Event 2023 9 December 2023 The City herby advises that pursuant to Section 115 of the Roads Act, 1993 and in accordance with the authority delegated to it by Transport for NSW, it proposes to allow the temporary road closure of the following streets in Coffs Harbour between 1:00 pm and 9:00pm:

SHERRY, a song forever associated with the distinctive voice of Frank Valli, will be blasted out across the Coffs Coast, when a local singer is found to play the lead part in a production of Jersey Boys planned for May 2024.

Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons will open on Friday 10 May 2024 at the Jetty Memorial Theatre.

Director Vanessa Crossley, known for her involvement in the Coffs Harbour Eisteddfod and for directing Priscilla Queen of the Desert for the Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company, said applications for auditions are open now and will take place in December for all principal roles.

“We’re on a mission to find the pivotal role of Frankie - the sooner the better,” Vanessa told News Of The Area.

“The role is obviously difficult to cast due to the very unique singing style of the character.”

To fulfil the role of Frankie, the production team are seeking an actor aged 18 to 30; a strong tenor able to reach a high A or Bb plus a sweet and strong falsetto up to treble G, who must be very comfortable with traditional four-part harmonies.

Frankie should be charismatic and charming, a very strong actor (comfortable with narrative text) and have a gritty side

as well as a polished veneer.

Auditions for the principal roles and ensemble will take place on the evening of Wednesday 6 December and Saturday December 9 2023 at the Cavanbah Centre in Coffs Harbour.

Principal dancer auditions will also take place on Saturday 9 December at Julie Ross Dance Studio.

Performance dates run from 10 May to 2 June 2024, on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings, with one Thursday evening show and matinees on Saturdays and Sundays.

There’s a total of 20 performances.

The story told in Jersey Boys begins in the 1960s, when four ‘scrappy’ young men from New Jersey - Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Nick Massi and Tommy DeVito formed and became Frank Valli and The Four Seasons.

With songs like Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry and Walk Like a Man, the quartet finds itself at the top of the charts.

However, personal and professional problems threaten to tear the group apart.

Jersey Boys is licensed exclusively by ORiGiN Theatrical, part of the ORiGiN Music Group.

To register to audition please complete an audition application available on the Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company Website or via their Facebook page. q Robyn McLennan with her new book, ‘Guess What Happened in Paddington Park…’, illustrated by Jules Faber.

First Fleeters dig deep into history

By Andrea FERRARI

THE NORTH Coast Chapter of the Fellowship of First Fleeters, a social group comprising descendants from the First Fleet, hosted an historical talk at its latest bi-monthly meeting.

Held at Red Rock, the guest speaker for the day was Dee Murphy, an archaeologist and botanist specialising in the use of various native plants.

“Dee gave us a very informative talk,” Pat Davis,

President, North Coast Chapter of First Fleeters told News Of The Area.

“She first spoke about the local area of Red Rock and what its most famous for, namely the Red Rock that is a 20 metre high headland composed of 300-million-year-old rock jasper, an opaque silica with ten different colours of clay, four of which are white, red, purple and orange.

“And how the local Indigenous people traded in the Ochre trade.

q The inaugural meeting of the North Coast Chapter of the Fellowship of First Fleeters, held at Boambee on June 1, 1997.

“A number of our members asked questions on the different clays and how it was extracted.”

Members were amazed to learn that the inner bark of the cottonwood/ hibiscus/tiliaceus tree is dried, split and spun, then used to weave many products.

“Dee had a small string bag she had made by this process and used old tea bags to dye the string to a

required colour, telling us it took her around 200 hours to make from start to finish.”

Another one of her items on show was a necklace woven and made from the dianella/flax lily plant and flower.

The First Fleeters members foster the common interest of preserving their heritage by celebrating January 26, 1788 as the day that convicts, marines and their families first stepped

on shore as Australia Day. “Our North Coast Chapter is affiliated with the Fellowship of First Fleeters, a national organisation established in 1968.”

Membership is open to anyone who can prove his or her relationship to a First Fleeter, a convict, marine, seaman or government official.

“Additionally, we encourage any interested person to join as an

Associate or Friend with a common interest in Australian history,” said Pat. The Chapter’s bimonthly meetings are held at various local venues.

“We welcome anyone wishing to attend our meetings as an observer or prospective member.”

“Enquiries can be made to Pat Davis on 0402 022008 or Robyn Condliffe on 0420 923140.

He has sung and performed many roles for Opera Australia, performed lead roles in musical theatre, sung for the Queen, featured at the AFL Grand Final, Carols by Candlelight, Spicks and Specks, Dancing with the Stars, It Takes Two and has been a presenter on Foxtel’s Arts Channel, Studio.

She is best known for her lead roles in The Phantom of the Opera and Cats.

She has also performed with international stars including Richard Harris and Jose Carreras. Well known for her Carols by Candlelight performance each year, she was recently seen on the ABC TV series, The Divorce.

Traps concerning commercial leases JOHN operates an earthmoving business.

He enters-into a lease of an industrial warehouse to store the earthmoving equipment.

Several years pass and when John wishes to relocate, a dispute arises with the landlord.

The landlord claims that John had not complied with the “permitted use” of the premises, that he had breached the “make good” provisions of the lease and that the landlord had suffered damages due to the consequential delay in re-letting the premises.

The landlord claims that the concrete slab needed to be replaced and the total damages claimed exceeds $500,000.

Although the lease permitted John to store some earthmoving equipment on the premises, the landlord claimed that this did not include some of the particularly heavy machinery that was kept on the premises.

The landlord claims that as a result of the heavy machinery, John’s use of the premises required repairs that did not arise from “fair wear and tear”.

The landlord therefore claims that it was John’s responsibility to replace large sections of the concrete slab.

In Supreme Court proceedings, the Judge rules that John’s use of the premises was in fact a “permitted use” and accordingly, the condition of the premises at the end of the lease, was in fact in good repair given the condition of the premises at the commencement of the lease, subject to “fair wear and tear”.

The Judge also states that the landlord had not taken reasonable steps to “mitigate damages” by not promptly rectifying the concrete slab nor accepting offers from prospective tenants to lease the premises.

This case demonstrates the importance of clearly defining “permitted use” clauses when entering-into a lease, the value of carefully considering clauses relating to damage caused by permitted use and the significance of the proper drafting of “make good clauses” which identify the difference between the tenant’s particular use of the premises and general wear and tear.

DEAR Jasminda,

AFTER a recent health scare, my husband has become obsessed with food and fitness.

Now every meal is a discussion about proteins and calories and frankly the conversation has become as bland as the meal variations.

Pool access decisions DEAR News Of The Area,

WHILST recovering from my first hip surgery, it was suggested by my hospital physio that I would benefit from regular pool exercise.

Unfortunately, I was only able to use the pool on one occasion, due to the

fact that on every other day, the hospital gave preferential treatment to all outside visitors!

Who makes such a ridiculous decision?

Regards, Ziggy KOENIGSEDER.

Why are other areas not investigated for improved public transport?

DEAR News Of The Area, I REFER to your article printed in the Coffs Coast News Of The Area, Friday 3 November 2023, entitled Better Bus Network.

In this article, North Coast Transport NSW Director Anna Zycki is quoted to say "Coffs Harbour is a growing area, but getting around doesn't involve getting in a car”.

It is a shame that your reporter did not request further information from Anna, asking when the other residents of Coffs Harbour, beyond the inner west and surrounding beachside suburbs, and located west of Red Hill, will also see any public service infrastructure provided to

them?

Residents here all nearly have the need for two cars, as there are no other public alternatives, other than taxi, or perhaps, Community Transport, if you qualify.

Why are these unserviced areas not investigated when Transport NSW looks at transport issues within Coffs Harbour?

Perhaps, if your reporters get the chance to interview anyone from Transport NSW again, they may raise this issue, requesting reasons as to why no services are provided to the Orara Valley, and to similar other areas, within Coffs Harbour as a whole, other than those buses provided for school children only.

Regards, John MURTON, Coffs Coast.

A very high quality performance DEAR News Of The Area,

OLDER folk like me don’t use Facebook and they might miss out on hearing about this amazing show, Atomic the Musical at The Jetty Memorial Theatre.

It was such an uplifting night; terrific

26 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

singing and music and wonderful costumes and the actors were amazing.

There were seven in the orchestra, all wonderful.

I spent $29.50 on a senior ticket and it was two-and-a-half hours of brilliant entertainment.

Julie W. Dear Julie, IT makes sense that your husband has become far more attuned to the family's eating habits.

He is no doubt following his doctor's orders.

There is, however, a serious impediment to witty and fruitful dinner conversation when the hot topics are gut health, functional health analysis and tomorrow's smoothie bowl.

Most of us are obsessed about something, but it can be limiting, so you need a strategy to retain your sanity.

Perhaps suggest no more than ten minutes of dinner conversation related to healthy eating.

If he is running out of things to talk about, maybe have slips of paper with pre-written conversational topics that will encourage hearty debate and new insights, and may even lead to divorce.

Off the top of my head you could try: The benefits and disadvantages of solar wind farms. Should dogs be allowed on the beach during summer?

Why did you vote the way you did in the recent referendum?

Why do Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

Socialism or capitalism? And so on.

After a couple of nights of vigorous social discourse that leads to plate throwing, you'll be more than happy to go back to the pros and cons of chia seeds and intermittent fasting.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

A very high-quality performance.

From the Mayor’s desk

By PAUL AMOS (Mayor) City of Coffs Harbour I RECENTLY had the pleasure of attending the opening of a business initiative that is G-sphere.

G-sphere is a co-working space that, for a fee, provides offices and working spaces for the short to medium term.

This is at Coffs Central.

Services provided include front desk, videoconferencing, printing, and scanning, 24/7 access and much more, all within an ultramodern environment.

This is the service provided by only the most cosmopolitan and sophisticated of cities and speaks to how our city is evolving at a fast pace.

We are attracting some incredibly talented and entrepreneurial people.

In this instance Gowings are the driving influencers.

Gowings are one of those iconic, pioneering Australian families up there with the familiar names of Arnott’s, Fairfax and Myer.

Gowings have recently acquired another iconic brand being Avery fishing reels, adding to many interests ranging from oyster farming to land development and shopping centres.

Gowings have chosen to make Coffs Harbour their head office, convinced they can continue to grow and thrive from Coffs Harbour.

At the opening I was fortunate to meet some of the young, smart, and enthusiastic staff that have relocated themselves and their families into our community.

They are real assets to our city.

Part of the business interests of Gowings include ownership of the world’s largest surf hardware manufacturing business, and a new industrial facility will soon be developed at Woolgoolga as part of the world headquarters.

The Gowings family business interests are broad, and it is a glowing endorsement for the City that they have chosen to make Coffs Harbour their home, bringing with them an exciting knowledge base and, from my observations, a generous and strong social conscience through their philanthropic endeavours.

Thank you to John Gowing and family, and all our big city "escapees" for the faith and the commitment you are showing to the future of our city.

Thank you to all the new arrivals to our City and it is our hope that we can give you more of what you value in life, whatever that may be.

Mayor's hot tip Spring has well and truly sprung and if you have not been to our awardwinning North Coast Regional Botanic Garden, please take the walk through, you will have discovered one of our hidden gems!

COFFS COAST News Of The Area

Dam water conservation reduces impact of floods/fires DEAR News Of The Area, THE letter to the editor by Adam Fuller, referencing the harvestable rights of water available to farmers, reduced by the NSW Government from 30 percent down to ten percent, in response to comments made

by Candidate/Councillor Tony Judge, raises some important points.

Firstly, conservation of water in the form of dams, by landholders, lessens the impact of flooding and aids in the fight against bushfire.

There is a classic example of the benefit of dams, reducing the risk of flooding to the heavily populated urban areas, such as Coffs Harbour, which can be seen at the base of Red Hill, where following the floods of 1997, Coffs Council constructed two large dams, to slow down the flow of flood waters from the upper reaches of the catchment area, flowing down into Coffs Creek.

Reducing the amount of water able to be conserved by farmers, increases the risk of flooding to those further downstream.

Secondly, Adam Fuller mentions Peter Andrews, author of two books, relating to the slowing down of water across farmland, titled ‘Back From The Brink’ and ‘Beyond The Brink’.

When one understands that it is man who changed the landscape, from, in our area, heavily timbered country, to in many instances, cleared land, then it is man that needs to put adjustments in place, so as to slow down the flow of water across the landscape, which used to happen naturally.

Both books provide an excellent insight as to how we can better protect the environment.

Owning one of the larger areas of land in the LGA, at the headwaters to the Coffs water supply, I am conscious of the need to conserve water and to endeavor to slow down the flow of water from the catchment, so as to not only mitigate the risk of flooding, but to also provide areas of water storage which can be accessed by those needing water storage areas to fight bushfires.

The initiative to increase water storage

on farms from ten percent to 30 percent was a ‘No Brainer’, the reduction back to ten percent recently announced by the NSW Labor Government is not.

Farmers such as our local member, Gurmesh Singh, who is a third generation local farmer, understand the land.

It was not that long ago that conserving water through the construction of dams was encouraged by the authorities, but not now.

I have recently gained consent through Coffs Council to construct a dam, once I comply with the conditions of the consent, I am looking at about $50,000.

This dam will be a major asset for the protection against bushfire, of my koala inhabited 650 acres of rainforest, the protection of the Dorrigo National Park, which I adjoin, the protection of the Mt Moombil communication towers, as well as acting as a water retention facility to slow down the flash flooding.

Regards, Rodger PRYCE, Brooklana.

Constituents deserve to be heard DEAR News Of The Area,

I AM visiting the Coffs Harbour area on holiday.

On Saturday morning I met a lovely group of ladies, the ‘Knitting Nannas’, protesting outside the NSW Forestry Corporation Office against the destruction of koala habitat and for the promised Great Koala National Park.

Having heard that the NSW Environment Minister, Ms Penny Sharpe, was to attend a meeting in town that afternoon with one representative invited from each community group to discuss the Great Koala National Park, I joined

other concerned citizens peacefully gathered outside the venue with signs calling on the Minns Labor government to keep its promise to protect koalas.

What a lily-livered skitterbrook New South Wales has for an environment minister!

Just before the start of the meeting, a lackey announced that Ms Sharpe would not attend if she had to walk past signs supporting koalas.

We were told that all people and all signs had to be removed.

The group moved away from the entrance pathway and agreed not to approach or speak to Ms Sharpe, and do

nothing but hold signs.

But Ms Sharpe was so terrified of this peaceful group (which included a couple of quietly sitting Knitting Nannas), that it was "too frightening" (her lackey's words) and she cancelled the meeting.

What a cringeling and a puddingheart!

Toughen up Princess Penny.

Your constituents deserve to be heard.

Regards, Terri HENDERSON, Narrabundah ACT.

Premier and Ministers as elusive as our koalas DEAR News Of The Area,

NOT long ago the NSW Government made the commitment to perhaps the largest regional investment in history into regional conservation and ecotourism in its first budget, with funding of $135m for the proposed Great Koala National Park, a rebuild of Dorrigo Rainforest Centre and construction of a multi-day walking track.

Why the Premier and two of his Ministers were so shy about this initiative in making an announcement during a secretive visit to a picnic area in Bongil Bongil National Park near Coffs Harbour last Friday is bewildering.

No members of the local community, who have worked tirelessly on the Great Koala National Park proposal for the last twelve years, were invited to the celebration of what the Labor Government appears to have taken and turned into an exercise of spin - saying a lot through the media, but doing little in reality.

Firstly, their celebration was in a picnic area in a plantation, admittedly an attractive setting, in the middle of Bongil

Bongil National Park, an area protected by a previous Labor Government when serious conservation decisions were important.

The current Government has decreed that no more plantation areas will be included in the proposed Great Koala National Park no matter how many koalas they may contain.

The Premier was keen to point out that the Government has temporarily deferred logging in 106 koala hubs on the North Coast.

Not mentioned was that no recognised koala hubs in plantations were protected and that clear felling of a koala hub, approved by forests Minister Moriarity, who was standing next to him, was occurring as he spoke less than five kilometres from the plantation picnic area they were standing in.

A day earlier in an Estimates Committee hearing in Sydney the Minister for the Environment and her senior staffers appeared to be almost completely ignorant of the spending in recent years by the Environment Department of millions of

www.newsofthearea.com.au

dollars on the development and application of heat seeking drones as a highly effective tool for surveying for koalas.

The whole Government knows now following the demonstration during the visit the next day to Bongil Bongil.

Not asked or answered were the difficult questions such as why the drones have not been used ever, or in particular during the last nine months by Labor, in pre-logging surveys for koalas.

What appeared to be a key announcement of the visit was the Government’s commitment to another twelve months of “consultation”, through the setting up Community Advisory Panels, before any firm decisions are made on the proposed Great Koala National Park.

A review of the rules for the proposed Community Advisory Panels, as sent to prospective members includes a condition on providing that advice as being ”…when requested…” by the Government.

Off on the wrong foot again!

But thanks again for the drones, the community will latch on to them.

Regards, Ashley LOVE, Coffs Harbour.

Association Croquet Carnival played in difficult conditions

By Andrew VIVIAN

SIXTEEN players representing clubs from Bathurst, Urunga, Forster, Coutts Crossing, Sawtell, Port Macquarie, Tweed Heads and Taree battled it out recently in what competitors described as “a thrilling showcase of skill and determination” at the Sawtell Croquet Club.

Players coped with a variety of weather

conditions during the ‘Four Days of Association Croquet Carnival’.

In Association Croquet, players manoeuvre their balls through a series of hoops and the aim is to get both balls through 12 hoops and then “peg out”.

Sawtell Croquet Club member Michael Hastings said, “Association Croquet is a game that requires a high level skill, strategy and endurance.

“It is the test match version of croquet mixed with the skill of snooker, played on a court the size of a bowling green.”

Mr Hastings said some players played three, twohour games in a day, because a day was lost to rain.

John Piggott, from Urunga, won Block A on a countback with Peter Deeth, of Coutts Crossing, a close second.

Kay Munro, from Sawtell,

won Block B, also on a countback, with her club mate, Rod Munro, putting up a strong fight to finish as the runner-up.

In Block C, Tony Kaucic, of Tweed Heads, secured an impressive five victories out of six games, closely followed

by Bruce Byatt from Forster.

Gary Urquhart of Sawtell won Block D with an impressive performance, while Peter Long from Forster was the runner-up.

Swimming North Coast to hold Division Championships

By Aiden BURGESS

SWIMMING North Coast are ready to host their Division 2 Championships on Saturday, 11 November.

For the first time, these championships are being held at both ends of Swimming North Coast’s

area, in the north at Maclean and to the south at Gloucester.

The results from both venues will be merged and the winners of all events will be announced.

The Division 2 Championships allow competitors who cannot

“This year there is a combined total of 112 Swimming North Coast competitors, with four visitors from Newcastle in the southern boundary of our area,” she said.

“The north will host 51 in Division 2 events and 63 in the qualifying events, and the south 61 plus the four visitors and 40 in the qualifying events.

“Competitors come in the north from Alstonville, Casino, Coffs Harbour, Grafton, Kingscliff, Lismore Workers, Maclean and Yamba.

“In the south from Forster, Gloucester, Macksville, Port Macquarie, Stroud, Taree, and Wauchope.

“All results from Division 2 will be sent to the media where the competing swimmers reside.

“We wish competitors all the best in their swimming endeavours.”

Government’s Local Sport Grant Program.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said organisations could receive a share of $50,000 available locally to increase participation, host events, improve access or enhance their facilities.

“Applications are now open and I urge our local clubs and associations of all sizes and across all sporting codes to come forward,” said Mr Singh, Shadow Minister for Tourism, Emergency Services, and the North Coast.

“Whether it is football, netball, basketball, swimming, or gymnastics,

to name but a few, we know how vital grassroots sport is to our community.

“It is not just important to living a fit and healthy lifestyle, but it is also extremely crucial to looking after our mental health and staying socially connected.

“The former NSW Liberals and Nationals Government invested heavily in upgrading local sport and recreation facilities and this is our chance to continue that legacy.”

Mr Singh said the grants will help Coffs Coast clubs to get more people involved in sport.

“Sport is a way of life on the Coffs Coast,” he said.

“These grants provide essential funds to clubs for

programs, equipment and facilities that will enable more people of all ages and abilities to participate in sport,” he said.

“Bringing communities together through sport provides many social, health, and economic benefits.

“Getting together with teammates on a weekend or midweek to play sport is so important for our physical and mental health.”

Applications can be made for grants between $2,000 and $20,000 per project, which can be put towards the purchase of new equipment or improving facilities and programs which allow people of all ages and abilities to participate in sport and

active recreation.

For more information and to apply visit www. sport.nsw.gov.au/grants/ local-sport-grant-program.

Applications close at 1pm on Monday, 27 November.

The Local Sport Grant Program aims to support grassroots sporting clubs to increase participation, host events, improve access and enhance sport and recreation facilities.

Up to $4.65 million is available in 2023/24 to support sporting clubs and associations across NSW with $50,000 available in each electorate and grants of up to $20,000 available for individual projects.

The Local Sport Grant Program aims to increase regular and on-going participation opportunities in sport in NSW.

ISLA Juffermans has signed to play in one of the best women’s basketball leagues in the world.

The former Coffs Harbour Suns junior has signed with the Sydney Flames for the latest Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) season.

The eighteen-year-old will be the Flames sole amateur player for the 2023/24 season, as she plays her debut season in Australia’s best women’s

basketball league.

Her Flames signing caps off a big year in which she made her senior national team debut playing for the Australian Opals in a fivegame series against China.

She has previously played for Australia at the FIBA Under 19 Women’s Basketball World Cup in Spain, and the FIBA Under 17 Women’s Basketball World Cup in Hungary.

Juffermans joins fellow

former Coffs Harbour Suns juniors Kristy Wallace and Lizzy Tonks in the WNBL. Sydney Flames coach Guy Molloy described the role the young recruit would play this season.

“Isla is a development player, which means that at her young age she is in more of an apprenticeship role, rather than a starring role,” he said.

“It’s a role where you recognise emerging young

talent, and we will work on improving her skills and the mental side of the game.”

Molloy outlined the attributes Juffermans would bring to the Flames.

“She is really tall and strong and plays the physical part well,” he said.

“She’s a very good finisher around the basket, which is good for a tall player, and I like the fact that she sets good screens.”

approximately 130-150 rider and horse combinations to compete across the weekend,” Claire Badke, CHPC president, told NOTA. A dedicated team of Pony Club members, Equestrian Australia accredited judges, professional course designers and course builders, volunteers and parents will all converge and collaborate to present what Alice and Claire say will be a fabulous event.

The organisers are putting a call-out for local input to build the event.

“Coffs Harbour Pony Club is seeking local business

support to assist in running this event and have created sponsorship packages, from accepting donations of products for rider prizes, monetary sponsorship with in-event advertising, and sponsorship of one of the many championship classes on the schedule,” said Alice.

These sponsorships will complement the dedicated sponsors already on board with State Pony Club NSW sponsors of all state championship events.

Trade stalls are also available.

“If your business would love to assist and be involved at this State championship event, please email c o f f s h a r b o u r p o nyc l u b @

touring team.

The five Suns players will embark on a seventeenday trip to Hawaii, Texas and California.

They will play in two high school tournaments in Texas and attend a Dallas Mavericks NBA game, as well as NCAA college games and an NHL game.

Accompanying the girls

are prominent local coaches Laurie Van Loo and Les Gough.

Dunkeroos assistant coach Les Gough explained the essence of the tour.

“The Dunkeroos are a touring basketball team that has been all over the world and all over the USA,” he said.

“The team will play in high school tournaments, and the main thing is to try and get them into tournaments where they are competitive.

“It’s a whole new experience for them, and it’s going to be a great experience for them playing the high school teams and watching an NBA game.”

When they are not busy playing basketball, the Dunkeroos girls will enjoy some sightseeing at locations such as Pearl Harbor.

The five Coffs Suns girls fly out on Friday, 10 November, with their first stop Honolulu.

not attend at the last minute.

It was the first Jamboree held since 2019 due to the pandemic in 2020/21 and floods in 2022.

The standard of organisation and two days of intense competition was high and the enthusiasm of riders, of all ages, impressive.

Zone 9 is the biggest of its kind in NSW, consisting of eighteen pony clubs from Nabiac through to Corindi Beach.

The Zone 9 Executive Committee pulled off a great weekend, providing a brilliant program and opportunity for horse riders to compete and mix socially in a relaxed and friendly environment.

“The kids don’t get to mix and mingle like this as clubs, so this event was great,” Kerrie Fittock, North Dorrigo Horse and Pony Club Secretary, told NOTA. “Normally when they go to an event, they compete as individuals, but here they were competing as teams against other clubs.”

Many disciplines were on the

program including hacking/rider classes, sporting, jumping, rescue relay, dressage, pairs and team of fours.

The March Past was a highlight event, with every club showcasing riders and horses in pristine condition holding their club flag proudly.

Bellinger River Pony Club were this year’s winners of the March Past.

BEACH HOUSE HUNTERS

NBN, 7.30pm

Host Shelley Craft (pictured) is a stalwart from The Block, but thankfully this series isn’t awash with multimilliondollar priced homes. This easygoing series – boosted by Shelley’s sunny personality – is about the simple goal of finding beach abode. Bereft of product placement and featuring a mix of homehunters with diverse budgets, it’s an entertaining slice of Australia’s diverse coastal housing stock. Tonight, picturesque Yamba on NSW’s North Coast is the first destination, followed by the holiday hotspot of North Stradbroke Island.

He’s the consummate action hero: a muscled, street savvy lieutenant of the Los Angeles’ special weapons and a tactics team with a thirst for dangerous situations and a drive to help those in need. Shemar Moore (pictured, Criminal Minds) is the brawn and soul of this crime procedural as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson. So when the series was abruptly cancelled after season six and Moore called the decision a “mistake”, it’s understandable TV execs revoked their call… No one messes with Hondo. In tonight’s double episode, a home invasion affects a famous gridiron player. Later, the team races to prevent a hostage situation from escalating on live TV. It’s reliably adrenaline-soaked popcorn fare.

ARIA AWARDS

NBN, 7.30pm

Whether you’re a loyal music fan or could quietly benefit from a brush-up on who’s making waves in the exciting realm of Australian music, tonight is the night to settle in for the spectacle of the ARIA Awards. Music journalist Brooke Boney and comedian Tommy Little (both pictured) host this annual musical extravaganza, which shines a light on the year’s most popular artists and songs. Prepare to boogie and belt out a tune from the couch; the guests’ creative, fashionforward outfits promise to strike a chord, too. Live from Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, the nominees for Best Solo Artist include Budjerah, Dan Sultan, G Flip, Jen Cloher, Kylie Minogue and Meg Mac. 1011

Backhouse elaborated on their performances, saying, “Quinn Evans was recently crowned third at Aussies 2023, in the under 14s flag competition.

Backhouse concluded by highlighting the significance of the Beach Stormer series as a vital platform for showcasing the fastest beach competitors in Australia, underscoring its importance in the broader context of lifesaving initiatives.

THE COFFS Harbour Life Saving Club has achieved remarkable recent success, with local members outshining some of the top competitors from New South Wales and Queensland.

Among the standout performers was Sam Carswell, representing Coffs Harbour, who delivered exceptional performances in both the under 17s male sprint events in Sydney and, later, alongside Quinn Evans in Queensland in the under 14s category.

Dan Backhouse, the President of Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club, commended the athletes and provided insights into their achievements.
