The ecological community typically has a high species richness.

Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance Project Manager Justin Couper told News Of The Area, “The Black Summer Fires affected more than 37% of the state wide extent of rainforest ecosystems, with 30-50% of Lowland Rainforest affected.”

The project will focus on the strategic rehabilitation of Lowland Rainforest across multiple land tenures at landscape scale including National Park and freehold land.

Ecological restoration will be implemented over an area of 107ha across 11 properties in the Orara Valley, Glennifer area and Bindarii National Park.

“The vegetated area and location of

the properties provide connection to well forested hillslopes in National Parks.

“Local bush regeneration contractors will undertake strategic weed management to facilitate recovery and to restore the ecological function of unburnt patches of Lowland Rainforest subject to impacts resulting from invasive species, fragmentation and patch size reduction as a result of historic land use practices.”

The project will involve Never Never Catchment Group, Bellingen Landcare, Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare, NPWS, Orara Rivercare, Coffs Harbour and District Aboriginal Land Council and Envite. q Lowland Rainforest in Coffs LGA. The project area is in the midst of some of

THREE new police officers have been allocated to Coffs Clarence Police District as part of the NSW Government’s commitment to invest in 1500 new police over four years.

COVID-19 has seen police adding additional tasks to their list of responsibilities with issuing Personal Infringement Notices for breaching Public Health Orders.

Lockdown has also seen an increased and visible police presence patrolling areas where people usually gather such as the beaches, parks and shopping centres.

welcomed the new officers to our police district.

“Some of the Force’s finest officers will be joining our district at a time when the community has relied heavily on their local police for many months,” Mr Singh said.

“The additional positions will make a real difference to the NSW Police Force and give them a greater capability to keep our district, and our State, safe.

“On behalf of our community, I’m pleased to be able to welcome our new police officers.”

The NSW Government announced it was investing $583 million to introduce 1500 extra police over four years to enhance community

safety across NSW. These 250 positions represent the third allocation.

Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott said 115 of the 250 new positions would join commands in regional and metropolitan areas, while other positions would be allocated to specialist commands.

“Specialist commands such as the Raptor Squad will benefit from 20 additional officers to target organised crime, while the Criminal Groups Squad, and Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad, will both benefit from 10 extra positions,” Mr Elliott said.

Allocations are determined based on resource requirements and how best to prevent, disrupt and respond to emerging crime issues.

RIP Timothy FROM Page 1 TIGHT-KNIT community members of the Northern Beaches have been left in shock following a fatal shark attack on a local surfer at popular Shelly Beach on Father’s Day. Timothy Thompson, 31, of Woolgoolga was attacked by what is believed to be a great white shark at the beach just before 11am on Sunday 5 September.

Despite desperate attempts by other surfers and community members present at the beach at the

Friday, 10 September 2021

time and local paramedics, Tim’s critical injuries to his arm and back from being bitten by the shark proved fatal.

On Monday 6 September, a Go Fund Me page was created to support Tim’s new wife Katie, who is pregnant with their first child, with the cost of funeral arrangements as well as to help Katie prepare for the arrival of the couple’s baby and living costs.

As of Tuesday morning, the Go Fund Me page had already amassed $167,185 of the page's $200,000 goal, with 2,300 people donating to the cause with donations q Timothy and Katie Thompson were recently married in March.

ranging between $5 and $2,000 and coming from local community members, businesses and sporting clubs.

The fundraising page was established by Bronte Graham and Lauren Wall who stated on the page that Tim was “the most kind, generous and lovable man who loved the ocean and surfing but most of all his family”.

“Tim married the love of his life in March this year (after COVID postponed their wedding planned for 2020) and they were looking forward to the arrival of their first baby in January 2022,” they stated.

“Tim and Katie moved ‘home’ to Woolgoolga in 2018 buying their first home with dreams of raising a family by the beach with grandparents and extended family close by.

“We are all so devastated that such a tragedy could happen to this beautiful family who had everything to look forward to.”

On Monday, Tim’s wife Katie Thompson wrote about her husband on Facebook and expressed her heartbreak.

“To say I’m heart broken would be an understatement,” Katie stated.

“All I know right now is that I have no choice but to keep going, because I have a

little piece of you growing in me.

“My heart aches for our baby who will never get to meet you.”

Katie thanked everyone who had reached out to support her and thanked the surfers at the beach who assisted Tim when the attack occurred.

“Thank you for being brave, getting him to shore and for doing whatever you could to try and save him,” Katie stated.

“Thank you to the first responders, paramedics and lastly the westpac rescue helicopter thank you.

“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express how grateful I am that you all tried your best for him.”

Emerald Beach, Shelly Beach and Serenity Bay were closed to all water activity

by Coffs Harbour Lifeguards following the fatal shark attack and remained closed to the public until 12.30pm on Monday 6 September, when the areas were found to have “no evidence of shark activity”.

Hours after the reopening of these beaches, Park Beach was closed by Coffs Harbour Lifeguards around 4.30pm on Monday afternoon due to the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) shark listening station advising of a shark in the vicinity.

Restrictions eased for Mid North Coast IN welcome news for local residents, NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro announced on Thursday that the Mid North Coast and North Coast regions of NSW would have some lockdown restrictions lifted as of 12:01am Saturday 11 September.

Parts of regional NSW currently deemed low risk and which have seen zero COVID cases for at least 14 days will emerge from lockdown on Saturday, but will continue to operate under restrictions to ensure the safety of regional communities.

Local Government Areas (LGAs) still seeing COVID case numbers will continue to follow stay-at-home orders and will be monitored by NSW Health with updates provided as circumstances develop.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro said regional communities are doing an incredible job following health advice and getting vaccinated which has made the easing of lockdown in some areas possible. “Today, I can announce that while unfortunately many regional LGAs will remain in lockdown due to COVID case numbers,

q NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro. for other parts of the state, stay-at-home orders will be lifted allowing more freedoms for those communities,” Mr Barilaro said.

“This decision is based on NSW Health advice, and the LGAs which remain in lockdown will continue to be monitored and we will update those communities on a regular basis.

“My strong advice to everyone in regional NSW is to get vaccinated as soon as you can.

“Our communities need to continue to get vaccinated so that when NSW reaches 70 and 80 per cent, restrictions can ease significantly.”

AFP warn of phone scam THE Australian Federal Police (AFP) is warning community members about a scam involving fake police representatives attempting to con money from the public.

AFP switchboard operators have received hundreds of calls in the past couple of months from people across Australia who have reported receiving calls from individuals claiming to be employed by the AFP. The AFP has stated that it will never call, email or contact people via social media and threaten to arrest them, demand money or ask for personal details.

According to the AFP, scammers are falsely

identifying themselves as a Federal Agent and are telling victims they have identified suspicious activity linked to

their bank accounts.

They then request personal details including a Medicare number, address

and bank details.

The scammers are also targeting people via email and social media with fake arrest warrants.

The offenders then call their victims and demand payments – ordering them to deposit money into a nominated bank account or purchase online vouchers.

Some people have been manipulated by these offenders, including an elderly woman who reported that she deposited more than $16,000 into a scam bank account.

The calls appear to come from a legitimate AFP number – but the AFP want to stress that they and the Australian Government will

“Given the growing number of travellers that start their holiday planning by researching online, a well-designed and maintained website is an essential tool to reach more customers and build a stronger brand.

“The program aims to assist tourism operators across the North Coast, to expedite the development of their digital platforms, improve the digital presentation of their businesses to customers whilst enabling them to reach new markets.

“In turn, this will be essential in revitalising the industry and increasing the economic impact from our industry for the North Coast.”

Lockdown Movie Night raises $12,000 for Afghan filmmakers

Max was now desperately seeking help to get his fellow filmmakers and friends to a place of safety.

She went for a (COVIDsafe) walk with her friend Stephanie Hunt, and the two brainstormed ways to help.

Max had offered to make his film available for private

screenings to raise money.

But how was that going to work when so much of the country was in lockdown?

The idea of a Lockdown Movie Night was born.

“We set things up so that people would be able to watch the movie from home,” Olivia told News Of The Area.

“Then it was a matter of

This is where Dave Horsley and Kate Howat from Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF) fame came in.

“Always supporters of the arts in general, and film in particular, Dave and Kate immediately saw the importance of this effort to help those filmmakers in hiding in Kabul,” said Stephanie.

Supporting healthcare in Malawi

PETER Bishop finds it slightly ironic that he is helping health services in another country, because he ran a successful web and graphic design business in Coffs up to 2012 until his own mental health issues led to its demise.

After realising that he needed help, Mr Bishop found that following his doctors’ advice led to his recovery.

A little while ago, he met Bryan Ngaleka on an online pen pals website.

Mr Ngaleka is a District Health Officer for the Thyolo

Health District in Malawi, a country on the east side of Africa, bordered by Tanzania, Mozambique and Zambia.

Malawi is one of the world's least developed countries with around 85 percent of the population living in rural areas.

Mr Ngaleka wanted to become involved in graphic design and also learn about website design.

Mr Bishop offered to teach him and help him earn a qualification.

Since then, the pair have combined to deliver the The Thyolo Health Services website, which features an all-in-one integrated online

marketing platform, and is the first human services website to be developed for the Government of Malawi.

The Thyolo website aims to connect hospitals and health centres and make basic health information available to people.

The site is projected to significantly improve access to healthcare for more than 600,000 residents in Malawi.

Mr Ngaleka hopes there will be an official launch when the website is ready to go live.

Mr Ngaleka now takes the photos for the website and does much of the design with Mr Bishop mentoring him.

Mr Bishop said that Malawi citizens have access to Facebook and other social

media but there are not many business websites.

While Mr Bishop is rebuilding his business in Coffs Harbour, he is helping

quickly and widely.”

Dave, Kate, Olivia and Stephanie shared the event locally and across the world.

“So many people were feeling helpless in the face of the nightmare unfolding in Afghanistan.

“This small way to help people who might otherwise have gone unnoticed resonated and ticket sales came in from Coffs Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Canada, the UK and beyond,” added Olivia.

The campaign raised

over $12,000 in under a week.

“The response was amazing,” said Stephanie.

“We’ve all received texts and emails saying how powerful the film was and asking if there are other ways to help. We are planning an encore screening.”

In the meantime, anyone wishing to contribute to this cause can make a donation at https://chuffed.org/ project/afghan-filmmakersrescue-fund.

Enhancing inclusion in healthcare for people with disabilities

By Andrea FERRARI

ONE year into the ‘Enhancing Inclusion in the Healthcare System’ initiative, a threeyear project to improve the hospital experience and health outcomes of people with disability, the partnering organisations, Blue Sky Community Services and The Mid North Coast Local Health District, are reporting positive progress.

Sarah Mongan, Disability Healthcare Specialist at Blue Sky Community Services in Coffs Harbour, told News Of The Area, “It is such an exciting opportunity to work within the health system, to explore how ways of doing things can be made more inclusive and supportive for people with disability and their carers.

“Sam (Stanford) and I

are really enjoying working alongside Health staff, to support them to build confidence in working with patients with disability, and their carers, in a more collaborative and positive way.

“We’ve assisted staff to build on their existing disability awareness, develop a deeper understanding of the NDIS, and develop basic sign language skills, to name just a few examples of the work we’ve been doing.

“Our role is supporting Health staff to build capacity to then support patients with disability better, reducing the chances of delayed discharge and/or unplanned readmission.”

The goal of the ‘Enhancing Inclusion in the Healthcare System' project is to ensure that when people with

disabilities go into hospital and are managing their health, they feel supported, informed, and able to articulate their unique needs.

Over three years the project aims to develop a best practice model for enhancing inclusion of people with disability in the mainstream health system in NSW, by strengthening the skills of

It includes a training program for health care staff, based on best practice principles, to build their capacity to communicate with, and provide high-quality care to people with disability.

q ‘Enhancing Inclusion in the Healthcare System’ is achieving its goals, one year in.

It will develop systems that support efficient communication between health staff and local NDIS providers to improve the overall hospital experience and health outcomes of

people with disability.

The project is funded by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) under an ‘Information, Linkages and Capacity Building’ grant.

Lost GoPro discovered after two years

By Andrea FERRARI SEVENTEEN minutes was all it took for a Facebook post to the Coffs Harbour community about a GoPro camera, found on Diggers Beach, to find its owners, a UK couple who’d lost it some two years earlier while on holiday in Australia…on the same beach.

Cameron Johnson told News Of The Area, “In March this year, my family were on Diggers Beach for my brother’s wedding.

“The kids were playing about on the rocks, then there was a commotion, Ruby, my daughter, had found a GoPro. “It was smashed, rusty and had barnacles on it.

“We took it home and I managed to see two photos, but that was it.

“Then a couple of weeks ago I just thought I’d have another go; I put the SD card into my laptop and all the photos appeared.

“I quickly transferred them, to save them, which

is good that I did, because I tried again a few days later and the SD card would no longer work.”

Cameron looked through the photos and identified who he thought must be the owners because there were numerous photos of them together.

He then posted a photo of the couple on a Coffs community group Facebook page, asking if anyone recognised them or knew anything about a lost GoPro. “It was exactly seventeen minutes after loads of shares that one lady replied with a screenshot

of Courtney Sweeney’s post back in August 2019 pleading for anyone who might have found a GoPro that she’d lost on Diggers Beach, while on holiday from the UK. Bang; they had a name and with a bit more Facebook sleuthing, they connected with Courtney, in the UK, who burst onto the comments trail with, “Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou”.

With the GoPro’s owners found, Cameron will now post both the SD card and the actual GoPro, off to the South of England where Courtney and her partner live.

“It’s just so extraordinary that it was lost and then found on the same beach two years later; and...that we tracked down the owner on the other side of the world in less than twenty minutes,” said Cameron.

Vinnies Bellingen wins Volunteer Team of the Year

By Andrea FERRARI

BELLINGEN Vinnies’ team of volunteers has been named as Volunteer Team of the Year in the annual recognition awards run by The Centre for Volunteering.

“For the volunteer team at Bellingen Vinnies it is all about helping not only our small town, but all that Vinnies does, the friendship our small shop has created and having people from all backgrounds made to feel comfortable,” Rhonda MacGraw, Vinnies Bellingen Team Leader told News Of The Area.

The newest Vinnies on the North Coast, the Bellingen shop opened in 2018 and the team of six has transformed the business.

Their tiny shop window has become a talking point in Bellingen, every week featuring new creative displays that engage passersby.

“The community waits with anticipation to see what magic will transpire in the windows.

“We often link our displays in with what’s happening within the

exposure of the shop and together we have improved its performance by over 150% in the past 12 months. ”This revenue goes towards providing assistance and services locally and state-wide – an example being Pete’s Place, the Homeless Outreach Service in Coffs Harbour.

“The Team engages cheerfully with every customer, welcoming them into the shop, assisting with good old-fashion customer service.

“Knowing what our regular local customers are interested in enables us to point out specific items they may wish to purchase.”

Michele, who works in the team, told News of The Area, “I find volunteering with Vinnies extremely rewarding and love the fact that we are all 'a team', no boss telling us 'we can't do this or can't do that' and our opinion is valued.

“I love the interaction with so many different people, not just locals, but

people passing through with tales to tell, who are up for a conversation and sometimes, help.

“I find the most important aspect is that it is fun and I enjoy every day that I volunteer.”

Fellow volunteer Isla added, “I love volunteering for Vinnies because of the gorgeous team of volunteers who I also call family; it’s really inspiring to be around such passionate people who are also so dedicated to helping out the community.”

End to blanket bans on pets in strata PET lovers who live in strata accommodation or who may own a holiday apartment away from home can now rejoice, with new laws in place to allow them to have their beloved pet stay with them.

The new laws introduced by the NSW Government from 25 August put an end to blanket bans on animals in strata as an

owners corporation can now only refuse to allow an animal into a strata scheme if the animal unreasonably interferes with another resident’s use and enjoyment of their lot or the common property.

The changes follow a detailed review of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 and extensive public consultation,

q Residents in strata accommodation now possess greater pet ownership rights. Photo: Emma Darbin.

www.newsofthearea.com.au focusing on the keeping of animals in strata schemes.

Under the new regulations there is a prescribed list detailing specific grounds where an owners corporation can refuse a lot owner from keeping an animal in a strata scheme or take steps to remove an existing animal from the scheme.

These include repeated damage of the common property by a pet, menacing behaviour, persistent noise and pet odour.

Owners corporations will also be able to set reasonable conditions through their own by-laws on how pets are kept in their scheme including whether the pet must be supervised on common property or enter and exit through a dedicated entrance or lift.

The changes do not affect landlords’ rights under a residential tenancy agreement to prohibit the keeping of an animal in their property.

Minister for Better Regulation Kevin Anderson said the new laws reflect broad community sentiment from the review, and demonstrate a balanced approach for both residents and owners corporations in keeping furry friends in strata.

“A lot has changed since the Act commenced in 2015, including a huge shift to apartment living as more and more people in NSW are choosing to buy and rent in higher density areas,” Mr Anderson said.

“On top of that, research tells us that Australia has one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world, with 61 per cent of households including a pet in their family, and 91 per cent of households owning a pet at some point in their lives.

Walk-in Vax Clinic this weekend

“Following extensive feedback from the community we have implemented fair and sensible regulations that prevent schemes from introducing blanket bans on keeping pets in apartments, while ensuring owners corporations can refuse pets where they unreasonably impact other residents.”

Mr Anderson said the importance of pet ownership and companionship could not be understated, particularly during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

“Living in strata is becoming more popular and while we don’t want strata residents deprived of the benefits of owning a pet it’s also important the amenity of neighbours and others in the building isn’t impacted,” he said.

“Our new laws have been designed to strike the right balance for everyone living in strata communities, putting an end to blanket bans on pets while giving owners corporations clear guidance on how they can set rules to ensure other owners aren’t impacted.”

NSW Fair Trading will be offering support, advice and mediation services for residents and owners corporations unsure about the new rules and how they apply within their scheme.

Unresolved disputes can also be escalated to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal where appropriate.

For more information about the new laws visit https://www. fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/housing-andproperty/strata-and-communityliving/strata-schemes/by-laws-inyour-strata-scheme.

By Andrea FERRARI COFFS’ Drop-In Covid-19 vaccination clinic will once again be open this weekend, for the convenience of the community.

“The opening of Coffs Harbour’s walk-in vaccination clinic last weekend was extremely successful.

“So much so, the Mid North Coast Local Health District is again running this service this weekend (11 and 12 September) at the former Red and White Medical Centre on the Pacific Highway, opposite the Clog Barn,” Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour told News Of The Area.

“Due to popular demand, hours have been extended from 9am to 3pm on both days.

“The AstraZeneca vaccine will be available to anyone aged 18 and over – no appointment necessary.

“There will be a doctor on site for anyone who wishes to seek medical advice.

“Please bring your photo ID and Medicare card.

“Vaccination is a safe and effective way to keep us protected from COVID-19.”

Hook Into Books

By Andrea FERRARI

SEPTEMBER is Life Without Barriers (LWB) Education’s ‘Hook Into Books’ month – a national literacy campaign for children and young people growing up in out-of-home care.

The goal is to bring the delights of reading books and storytelling to children to enhance their literacy skills and encourage a lifelong love of reading and learning.

Sue Wilson and her husband Dave have been caring with LWB for six years and are the MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ (Carer group support) Hub Home provider for Life Without Barriers in Coffs Harbour.

Sue told News Of The Area, “The promotion of the

“To be able to share these amongst our community and get kids reading and engaging in storytelling can be life changing.”

Whether it’s before bedtime or any other time of the day, reading has immense benefits for young minds.

“It all depends on their age of course – but I know the children under eight just love the bedtime stories, it’s wonderful to see their imagination run wild,” Sue said.

“The older kids are enjoying the interaction and sharing of stories also.

“The little ones really love picture books and anything with Dinosaurs seems to be a

favourite.

“For the over-eights it’s definitely the Harry Potter books and the Tree House series by Andy Griffith, and Tony Denton is also really popular.”

“Above all reading ‘with’ children creates a stronger emotional connection and bond with them.

“In turn, it’s promoting their education by improving the child’s language and listening skill, that’s why Hook Into Books is such a great initiative.

said Josh.

“For that reason, the idea of working together and sharing ideas, knowledge and doing joint projects is a core focus of this position.”

The new Aboriginal Landcare Officer position will provide support to Aboriginal groups, North Coast Landcare networks and Landcare groups to co-design collaborative activities that build capacity and partnerships – with a particular focus on projects that can assist with bushfire habitat recovery.

The program largely stems from recognition by North Coast Landcare that Aboriginal communities are the original land carers, with a focus on caring for the land, environment and communities in our region.

Chair of the North Coast Regional Landcare Network Jim Kinkead said, “This is one of the most valuable things about community connection - it is just getting people together to connect and seeing how we can evolve from there.

Indigenous Literacy Day

By Andrew VIVIAN

WEDNESDAY, September 1 was Indigenous Literacy Day, an initiative of the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

Because of COVID-19, the Foundation hosted a free virtual celebration for all Australians from 9am.

Viewers could choose from a range of over 50 stories from kids in remote Australia, First Nations authors, musicians and artists.

Locally, the Bularri

Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation also hosted online activities.

The Corporation highlights the importance of reading in programs such as the Goori Learning Centres, held three times a week when not in lockdown, and the Nyanggan Tutoring Programs in several local schools.

They point out to young people that reading for even five minutes each day means that you read for more than 900 minutes to read 282,000 words per

year.

Because stories and language have been passed on from generation to generation through specific cultural practices, traditions, languages, laws and family relationships; this year’s Indigenous Literacy Day theme of ‘Celebrating Stories and Language’ is particularly relevant.

The Corporation Spokesperson Amber Mercy said that they conducted story time online, and posted a video of Executive

Officer Clark Webb reading ‘Jibiny’, in Gumbaynggirr, about the journey of some birds through the day.

‘Jibiny’ is one of two picture books used as reading stimuli by the Corporation.

The other, ‘Yuludarla’, depicts the story about how the land was created around Coffs Harbour.

Mr Webb’s story can be viewed on the Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Facebook page and the national program details are atild.org.au.

landfill,” Kerrie said.

“The support of the hospital’s kitchen and cleaning staff in collecting and bagging the bottles has been exceptional.

“I probably spend four hours a week collecting and poking them in the Return and Earn machine.”

Kerrie’s efforts through the Return and Earn scheme raised $2,398 for the Auxiliary to July this year.

Kerrie also collects dockets redeemable from the Bellingen IGA and hands them over to the Auxiliary as part of IGA’s Community Chest program.

“These funds are used to help purchase equipment for the Hospital,” said the Auxiliary’s President Deb Anderson.

“Kerrie is a highly valued member of the Auxiliary, and we thank her, and her supporters, for such a champion effort.”

Waveney Ayscough works in the kitchen with Kerrie, beginning her journey “under Kerrie’s wing”, she told News Of The Area.

“I am inspired by how selfless Kerrie is, her work

with the SES, and the effort it takes to collect and process the bottles.

“I had breast cancer this year and she always called to support me or take me out for a chat.

“You can often see her, after her shift, collecting the bags of bottles in the wards and in the kitchen and piling these huge bags into her car to take to the Return and Earn depot.”

The UHA also runs a café, Mary’s Tea House, at the Hospital.

The popular cafe opens three days a week, “But we hope to attract enough volunteers to be able to open five days a week, as it benefits the staff, patients and visitors, and ultimately the hospital,” Waveney said.

“A common misconception is that one needs to be retired, or a 'little old lady' to volunteer.

“We welcome women and men of all ages.

“It's been wonderful for me as I have met a lot of people who are very active in our community, people I wouldn't normally meet being a mum of school-aged children.”

Cowper Voters Want Climate Change Action

By Andrea FERRARI

HOT on the heels of the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) comes an Australian Government survey which shows that voters in every Federal seat in Australia support increased action on climate change.

A YouGov survey of 15,000 people showed that, as well as climate action, voters support the adoption of renewable technology over the government’s plan for a gas-led recovery.

According to the largest poll ever conducted on climate change and politics in the country, action on climate change is as much an issue in rural electorates as elsewhere.

In the Federal electorate of Cowper, 58% of voters felt that climate change was an important or most important election issue.

55% percent of voters believed the Federal Government need to be doing more to address climate change while 72% believed greater climate action will help nature and wildlife survive extreme weather.

BELLINGEN UHA (United Hospital Auxiliaries of NSW) branch member Kerrie Nicol is one of the volunteers who goes above and beyond to support Bellinger River District Hospital.

Her efforts focus on

collecting bottles and cashing them in to add to the Auxiliary’s generous support of the Hospital and its patients.

"Basically, I saw an opportunity to raise money for the Pinkies (the UHA) when the refund on the bottles became an option, rather than them going into

q Kerrie Nichol with a big bag of plastic bottles which are off to the Return & Earn machine in Bellingen.

By Andrew VIVIAN

62% percent of Cowper voters did not believe that new coal or gas power stations should be a priority for the federal government.

While all of these percentages are below the national average responses, they show that climate change issues are a growing concern locally, nationally and internationally.

As recently as September 2, the President of the United States of America Joe Biden said that Hurricane Ida, the New York floods and the wildfires in the west of his country were “yet another reminder that these extreme storms and the climate crisis are here".

Liisa Rusanen, spokesperson for the Coffs Coast Climate Action Group, said, “The National Party, as a vocal supporter of fossil fuels, is not taking note of community views about climate change.”

Ms Rusanen said, “Climate change is clearly already impacting us through more severe bushfires and frequent floods and we need urgent leadership for effective action.”

Reigniting Passion For Painting

By David WIGLEY

DELI Frost is painting her way through lockdown, reigniting her passion for creating to the delight of her friends and family.

Creating has been a lifelong passion for Deli but after her HSC, travelling and work took centre stage until the lockdowns rekindled her passion to create.

“When the first wave of COVID struck last year and we were forced to stay put at home, I started to paint again, at first it was just to pass time

and keep busy during the lockdown,” Deli said.

“I was pretty rusty picking up a paintbrush for the first time after a few years but after a couple of paintings it was like nothing had changed.

“For as long as I can remember I have had a paintbrush or pencil in my hand, however I became focused on working and travelling but since COVID ended that, it reignited my desire for creating,” said Deli.

As Deli continued to paint, the interest continued to grow and what started as

a hobby turned into a small business.

“Friends and family asked for paintings for their homes, once they were completed they were well received from their new owners who convinced me to push my art further to see where it would take me.

“I would paint anything from large canvas artworks

by Council on 23 August.

The redevelopment works are estimated to cost $2.5 million dollars, and have already commenced with the centre’s Best and Less store recently relocated outside of the centre to make room for the new Aldi supermarket which will be located at the site of the former Best and Less store and former Dollar

q Locals enjoying the view from the easternmost lookout point on Muttonbird Island.

By David WIGLEY

THE new walking track at Muttonbird Island opened last week to the delight of locals who enjoy walking across to the easternmost lookout point on the Island.

The new track, which cost $275,000, opened on Tuesday 31 August, with a steady flow of walkers immediately enjoying the stunning views from the top of the iconic landmark.

The elevated track means the Shearwaters can roam freely across the Island with less interruption from walkers.

The nests can be seen from the side of the track which are burrowed into the ground for protection against the changeable weather conditions.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh welcomed the new track which will benefit locals, tourists and the natural habitat of the shearwaters.

“Muttonbird Island is an iconic part of Coffs Harbour’s Jetty area and the walkway is a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike.

“The new walkway offers better protection of the natural habitat on the island and is a safer surface for people visiting the island.

“Locals were very excited to have the upgrade completed and open in time for the warmer spring weather,” said Mr Singh.

q Walkers are told to keep to the track to preserve the habitat of the Shearwaters.

OPINION & LETTERS

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Done to the dogs DEAR News Of The Area,

By Manny WOOD

Is a suicide note a will?

Harry sadly ends his own life, leaving a handwritten but unsigned and undated note.

Harry was married to Linda but they were separated at the date of his death.

The note is addressed “to whom it may concern” and leaves “all assets” to Linda.

Linda files an application with the Supreme Court of New South Wales, seeking orders that the note be declared to be an “informal will” and that she be appointed as the administrator of Harry’s estate.

In the alternative, Linda seeks a declaration that Harry died without leaving a will and that she is entitled to act as administrator on the basis that she receives the whole of his estate “on intestacy”, as his legal spouse.

The police retain custody of the original note and Linda submits a typed version to the Court, based on a copy.

Linda’s application is opposed by Harry’s siblings, who are beneficiaries under Harry’s previous, duly executed will.

They allege that this will was removed from Harry’s home after his death.

There is no evidence that Harry suffered from any psychological conditions that would have affected his capacity when he wrote the note but there was evidence that Harry was under the influence of alcohol when he passed.

In assessing Linda’s application, the Court notes that in circumstances where there is a missing will, there is a presumption that it was destroyed by Harry with the intention to revoke the will.

The Court finds that this presumption was not “rebutted”.

The Court also finds that the note stated Harry’s “testamentary intentions” and that he intended it to form his will.

The Court ultimately orders that the formal requirements of a will, which require execution in the presence of two witnesses, are to be “dispensed with” in the circumstances and that the note entitles Linda to the whole of his estate and to act as administrator.

Preliminary work involved marking the pavers with a series of pink and red paint dots, so before the area was closed off, walkers got an idea of how far the boardwalk was going to go.

But it didn’t.

It stops eighty metres short.

Perhaps this was a

result of complaints from the muttonbirds?

Maybe the plan is to go further next winter?

A nice person from National Parks might care to shed some light on all this.

Regards, Graham MEALE, Boambee East.

A protest is not an allowed reason.

Protesters today put themselves, their families and the community at risk.

I, of course, support the right to protest as long as it is done in a law abiding and peaceful way.

We’re only going to get out of lockdown by following the public health orders.

Events like this threaten to make the lockdown longer.

Everyone’s sick of the lockdown but we have to see it through and limit ways to spread the virus.

Gathering in public for protest is not the answer.

Following the public health order is.

Regards, Andrew WOODWARD, Candidate for Mayor of Bellingen Shire Council.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

UP until the start of this pandemic, there were already a large number of homes where there was a pet dog.

Now, ownership has increased a lot more for some reason.

It seems as if the bulk of dog owners seem incapable of understanding that not everyone wants to listen to their dog barking.

I don’t mean just a little barking now and then, but any time anything gets the dogs attention, some to the point of going hysterical, some just bark for the sake of barking.

These people should never have gotten a dog, as they are incapable of understanding respect, too lazy to train them properly, too lazy to exercise them and probably do not even have them registered.

Does anyone ever ask their neighbours before getting one “do you mind listening to a dog barking”, of course not. Talking to people about their dogs that are a problem is generally pointless, as they seem to lack a basic understanding of respect.

The Council is just as useless, they are not doing their job for sure.

They ask you to talk to the owners, which is pointless, and then keep silly logs of when the dogs barks, and then they still do nothing.

It is little wonder that some people take the law into their own hands sometimes.

It is also not uncommon that if these people also have kids, that they are not much better, that is another subject.

So all those that fit this description, how about growing up and learning some respect for others.

Regards, Peter TYLER.

Bus System A Winner!

DEAR News Of The Area, AFTER giving up driving I would like to compliment the bus system in Coffs Harbour.

Well done!

Paralympian Maddie returns home on a high

By Andrea FERRARI

SWIMMER Maddie McTernan, Woolgoolga’s very own Silver Medallist in the Tokyo Paralympics 2020 is back on home turf.

Maddie will remain in quarantine until September 21, and can’t wait to get home and see her dog, and family.

Maddie and her mum Allison reported into News Of The Area after her last event on Thursday, September 2.

“Maddie was feeling very focused before her individual event; the 100m Backstroke final.

“She was so happy to have finally done a sub 1:10 time – a Pb of 1:09.65 in her heat - which she had not been able to go under in two years.

“With a final time of 1:09.82, the race was great for her because she knows that she will continue to get closer to a medal in this event in the Paris 2024 Paralympics.”

At just twenty years old she has age on her side.

“Looking back on the Paralympics, Madeleine loved doing a Pb in the 100m relay of 1:00.32 and was thrilled to

stand on the podium with her teammates.”

(News Of The Area apologises for printing an incorrect time in last week’s paper of 1:03 for this event).

“She’s enjoyed the camaraderie with her roommate Rachael Watson, who got a gold medal in the S4 50m freestyle; and loves the mascot character, Someity.”

Thanking her hometown community, Maddie says most of all she is humbled by, and appreciates, the support and letters of congratulations from Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga people online.

She is so grateful for giving everyone something to cheer about, especially with the ongoing lockdowns.

She has spoken to her first coach in Coffs Harbour, Eugene Brogmus, and they are both elated and proud of what Maddie has accomplished.

“Maddie would not have made the Paralympics if it was not for the foundation that Eugene provided her from the age of 13-16 years.

“Coffs Harbour

Swimming Club has provided her with the most amazing support in Tokyo.”

Looking beyond quarantine, Maddie hopes to be swimming at the Summer North Coast Championships in Coffs Harbour later in the year and the Queensland

COFFS COASTNews COASTNews Of The Area

Long Course Championships in December, adding more Australian records to her name.

In 2022, Maddie hopes to compete at the World Swimming Championships in Portugal in June and then to represent Australia at the Birmingham Commonwealth games in July/August, COVID willing.

104/7 Edgar Street, Coffs Harbour 3D Available online Price: $599,000 - $639,000 IMAGINE walking 100 metres from your modern two-bedroom apartment to the heart of Coffs Harbour Jetty's renowned Cafes and restaurants.

Or perhaps you are a little more energetic and feel like walking up the iconic Muttonbird Island, or maybe the 'South Wall' walk.

What about something different, how about just strolling to the marina and watching the fishing boats or whale watching boats leaving or coming back to Port.

All this can be a daily conundrum for

PROPERTYWeek

PROPERTYWeek you to consider each morning when you awake immersed in the Jetty Lifestyle.

Located in the stunning 'Pandanus' building, this first floor two-bedroom unit melds functionality as well as comfort and offers all of the extra's you would expect of modern apartment living.

Tiled floors flow through from the entry to the kitchen and lounge where large stacker doors then open to the deck with filtered views to the ocean.

The kitchen boasts Bosch appliances, gas cooktop and stone benchtops should you choose to create your own culinary delights and not to take advantage of the neighbouring award-winning eateries.

The main bedroom also opens to its own deck and gives you the opportunity

to literally see the sea from the comfort of your own bed, not a bad way to wake up.

The bathroom is once again thoroughly modern and sleek with hung vanity and blade shower making cleaning a breeze.

'Pandanus' is a secure building meaning not only do you have an intercom to the front building, entrance doors to screen visitors, but you also have secure underground parking as well as a secure storage locker for those bulkier items.

Perfect for professionals or retirees, this property offers not only 'location, location, location' but an easy lifestyle.

AMERICAN MADE

NBN, 10.30pm

All-American movie star Tom Cruise teams up once again with Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow) for this action-adventure biopic. Sprinkled with a dose of comedy, the script is loosely based on the true story of Barry Seal (Cruise), a commercial airline pilot who became involved in drugs and arms smuggling while working for the CIA. Seal carried out one of the largest covert operations in US history, in the process spawning the Medellin Cartel. Despite its historical inaccuracies, the film is a slick ride.

After almost two months of feverishly tuning in three nights a week, the moment fans have been speculating about has arrived: the winner will be crowned. With their pride and a whopping $500,000 on the line, which contestant will leave the final tribal council as the Sole Survivor?

The spectacle of determination, manipulation and strength has seen the contestants push themselves to their limits.

Even Jonathan LaPaglia wasn’t immune from the harsh conditions.

Englishman Russell Howard packed his bags and left COVIDravaged Britain last year to film this three-part series in Australia and New Zealand which, at the time, could boast being a COVID-free zone. Alas, while we grapple with a new wave of infections, it’s a fun diversion to witness the comic appreciate kiwi humour. He has a go at sheep-shearing, and chats with Urzila Carlson. Next week, he’s in our neck of the woods, experiencing our beautiful coast and enjoying a barbecue with Tim Minchin.

Wet and warm Spring predicted SPRING is most definitely in the air and as we say goodbye to Winter what can we expect for the coming season?

According to Bureau of Meteorology climatologists, Spring in Australia may see more rain than usual in the east and a dry outlook for parts of the west.

The latest seasonal outlook issued by the Bureau states that this Spring is likely to bring above average rainfall for people living in the east of the country as well

as cooler days and warmer nights.

Bureau climatologist Dr Andrew Watkins said predictions for a wetter and warmer Spring come after a particularly wet and warm Winter.

"Nationally, we've seen the wettest winter since 2016," he said.

"Australia's average winter temperature is also expected to be one of the ten warmest on record, particularly in the tropical

north."

Dr Watkins said the main reason behind the Bureau's prediction for a wetter than average Spring was a climate driver called the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).

"We've currently got a negative IOD - a phenomenon which typically brings an increased chance of rainfall to southern and eastern Australia," he said.

Supporting The Local Economy

By Andrew VIVIAN MANY people think of local councils only in terms of rates, roads and rubbish.

However, their services are far more complex, and a significant aspect is to support the local economy.

Coffs Harbour City Council’s Industry and Destination Development Section, a team of eight professionals, supports the implementation of the Economic Development Strategy.

The section’s role is to facilitate job growth and attract people to visit, study, work and live on the Coffs Coast.

The strategy looks at the local economy from a variety of perspectives to ensure that there are opportunities, skills, technology and infrastructure to help Coffs Coast people thrive and prosper, with a focus on three key industries:

the visitor economy (coffscoast.com); the digital economy (6degreesco.com. au), the ‘one-stop shop’ to connect business with resources, connections and support; and the ‘agrifood’ economy (coffscoastharvest. com.au), connecting growers and users and everyone in between.

To support Council’s Economic Development Strategy, the team works with many local stakeholders to understand the needs of local business to facilitate opportunities for education, skill development and advocacy across levels of government.

The team identifies needs related to infrastructure, industry development, young people and education.

They have been involved with local stakeholders such as the Coffs Harbour Chamber of Commerce with the ‘Go Local First’ campaign,

encouraging people to support local businesses.

Another example was initiating the ‘Shop the Orara Valley’ campaign to support businesses of the Orara Valley during recovery from bushfire.

The campaign assisted 400 locals to travel and patronise local Orara Valley businesses over one weekend, through grant funding.

A third initiative is the 6 degrees ‘Festival of New Thinking’ which has been helping business owners think differently about their businesses.

Future programs include ‘Our Place Is Great’ which encourages locals to hashtag their favourite places (during exercise currently) and is the first stage of a lockdown recovery tourism campaign.

The team is also in the final stages of obtaining accreditation as an ‘eco destination’ for the Coffs

Coast.

This accreditation will see Coffs become the first destination in NSW to be recognised this way.

Ms Fiona Barden, Section Leader, Industry and Destination Development,

said her team has a range of skills and combined with research, examples from around the nation and the world, spend time developing localised ways to support the destination and its businesses.

She said, “We help facilitate communication with specific audiences across many industries, including the focus industries, to support and develop our local economy.”

the extension of the eviction moratorium will provide welcome peace of mind.

Mr Anderson acknowledged that times were tough due to COVID-19 and was a period of significant financial hardship.

According to Mr Anderson the NSW Government’s response is to continually assess and monitor where help is needed.

“The Residential Tenancy Support Package will now provide payments of up to $4,500 per tenancy as long as landlords reduce rent for their tenants by at least that much and have not claimed land tax relief.”

Mr Anderson said, “This is a further $1,500 increase

and comes as part of our commitment to supporting people who have taken a hit due to COVID-19.”

“We have always encouraged landlords and tenants to work together to negotiate a rent reduction, and now the NSW Government is providing a rebate of up to $4,500 to make sure tenants and landlords are both protected.

“During times like this it is crucial that we all dig deep and do what we can to help each other out, so I am strongly encouraging landlords to work out a rent reduction for their tenants and then make the most of this rebate.

“The NSW Government

is working around the clock to get applications approved and money is being processed in a very timely fashion.”

Mr Anderson said the extension to the eviction moratorium will give tenants who have experienced a downturn in their income due to COVID-19 one less thing to worry about while they are getting back on their feet.

“COVID-19 impacted residential tenants who are struggling with rent will continue to be protected from eviction due to rental debts until 11 November, which is an extra two months protection to the moratorium period previously established,” Mr Anderson said.

“Following the

moratorium, for the period 12 November 2021 – 12 February 2022, transitional measures will apply and will limit when terminations can occur for rental debt accrued during the moratorium.”

Fair Trading will act as mediator for tenants

and landlords entering negotiations for issues which cannot be resolved privately.

Upper Orara Hall Appeal For Help

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Upper Orara Community Hall, built in 1908, has been for many years a busy, popular and important social hub for the local community of Upper Orara.

It has seen countless social dances, cabarets, weddings, birthdays and melodramas in the past and currently holds sports, dance and yoga classes as well as monthly neighbourhood gatherings.

Over the last 14 or so years, the chief fundraiser for the Hall maintenance has been the Orara Valley Fair which is held over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

Because of COVID-19,

Friday, 10 September 2021

it has not been possible to run the last few fairs and all fundraising has come to a halt.

Although some of the money raised by the Fair every year was spent on maintenance, much of it went towards the Hall’s very high insurance costs.

The Hall Committee has also held monthly Friday night informal barbecues for the local community which also provided funds and the Hall is available for sporting or social functions.

Recently the committee held some very successful market days to help raise monies and there are plans in place for a car boot sale and a ‘60’s dinner dance.

q Applications for the increased rebate will be open shortly.

q The Upper Orara Hall Committee is appealing for help.

The Hall is also a Neighbourhood Place of Safety in case of emergencies during fires and floods.

As the Hall ages, it is in dire need of renovation, requiring a new septic system and roof repairs.

The Committee has applied for various grants, but has so far been unsuccessful.

As a result, the Committee is appealing to generous local and Coffs community members to ask if there is anyone or any business who would be willing to support the hall by helping out through donations or work in kind.

Donations are needed for paint for both the exterior and interior.

The roof also needs repair and the Committee is hoping that a local roofer might be willing to donate time and materials to fix it and a local handyman/carpenter could help out with odd jobs.

Committee members and a willing band of volunteers have started on painting

the exterior and have great faith that they will be able to restore the hall to its former glory, once fundraising can begin again.

Jo Fenwick, the Secretary of the Hall Committee told News Of The Area, “At the moment the hall is a valuable community asset that we

need to keep running.

“Without the fair, fundraisers and community support, we cannot continue to pay the bills for much longer.”

Vaccine Rates

HAVE you had yours?

First jab or second jab?

These are questions we are all asking each other.

Data released by Healthy North Coast (HNC) on August 29 reflects that North Coast

COVID-19 vaccination rates continue to rise.

Sixty percent of those eligible to receive their first dose now have and thirty two percent have had their second.

For first doses, the North Coast is below the NSW average of sixty seven percent

but above the Australia wide average of fifty eight percent.

For second doses, North Coast COVID-19 vaccination rates are below the statewide average of thirty six percent and the Australian average of thirty four percent.

The number of first dose recipients is highest in the Port Macquarie-Hastings, Bellingen, Ballina and Nambucca local government areas (LGAs), falling into the sixty to seventy percent band.

In the LGAs of Tweed, Clarence Valley, Coffs Harbour, Kempsey, Kyogle, Richmond Valley and Lismore, fifty to sixty percent of residents have received their first vaccine dose.

The figure is forty to fifty percent in the Byron Shire.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Julie Sturgess said additional supplies of the Pfizer vaccine due

in September should see vaccination rates rise significantly.

“North Coast rates of vaccination reflect the currently available dose supply,” Ms Sturgess said.

“For example, the Byron LGA has had a limited allocation compared to some other parts of our footprint,” she said.

She expects this to change later this month with increased supply for all LGAs. “In the past week, the forecast has again increased with more than fifty thousand additional Pfizer vaccines expected to be available across northern NSW from mid-September to the end of October.

“At the same time, the Mid North Coast will receive more than sixty thousand extra Pfizer doses.”

As the vaccine eligibility criteria widens, HNC reminds people to be patient, respectful and kind with service providers doing

almost everyone understands that it is a ‘good thing’ to do.

According to Ms Massie, since 2012 there has been an increase in wildlife being rescued and taken into care.

Wildlife rescue is privately funded, with private citizens putting their time and money into helping and vets caring for rescued animals without charge.

Her survey is part of a larger research project to gather information that can be widely shared.

For example, if the RSPCA wanted to target wildlife rescuers with an ad campaign then it would be useful to know if the majority were pensioners or millennials.

Diana Deeley is a trained WIRES rescuer and avian

carer.

She said, “It is wonderful how caring some people are when they find an injured animal.”

Ms Massie wonders about what effects being put in a box might have on native animals, but Ms Deeley says that the first ‘rule’ of care is “warm, dark and quiet”, especially when dealing with birds.

She said that it seems to be more stressful for birds to be in a cage and see the outside world.

She also pointed out that, as seen with koalas in the bushfires, animals often seem to understand that humans are trying to help them.

However, many rescues do not end well.

Ms Deeley said, “People

Wildlife Survey Responses Sought

By Andrew VIVIAN

MANY Coffs Coast people have contacted the NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES) at some time to report an injured or out-ofplace native animal.

While there are many wonderful people who devote their time to rescuing and caring for native wildlife, according to Gloeta Massie, a doctoral candidate at the University of Queensland, there is no overall data about who these people are.

Ms Massie has developed a survey to find out if there is a particular demographic for wildlife rescuers and carers as well as to understand people’s views on wildlife

rescue and care.

For example, she wants to understand what people view as rescue and if there are some species that people would not rescue.

Ms Massie is also very interested in any effect on an animal’s survival between the time taken from rescue and going into professional/ trained care.

She wants a random sample of people from all over Australia, particularly men, to respond to build a picture of national attitudes to wildlife care and rescue.

Ms Massie told News Of The Area, “I believe that even if people don’t rescue wildlife there is still an unwritten social contract about it.”

By this, she means that

Some medical practices have put on extra staff to cope with up to one thousand phone calls a day from people wanting a vaccination appointment.

Those practices are striving to help everyone and have asked for the public to be patient if they can’t get through.

Ms Sturgess said the strong demand for vaccinations had been fuelled by the opening of eligibility to all people aged sixteen to thirty nine for the Pfizer jab.

Children aged twelve to fifteen will also be eligible for the Pfizer vaccine from 13 September, further increasing demand.

Ms Sturgess stressed the importance of booking your vaccine appointment, even if it might be several weeks in advance.

“As we wait for increased supply of Pfizer vaccines to our region, we would like to remind those people wishing to get their jab as soon as possible that there is a plentiful supply of AstraZeneca, and most people can get an appointment within a few days,” she said.

“AstraZeneca is the recommended vaccine for Australians over sixty and is licensed for use in all patients aged eighteen and over.

“Seek advice from your GP if you’re concerned about receiving AstraZeneca.

“Luca is the Italian mystery, his passion is unquestioned.

“He loves the sport so much and loves coaching the young and old lads and trying to get the best out of them.

NSW Government to provide funding boost for female sports leaders

By Aiden BURGESS THE Coffs Harbour region has a number of well-regarded female figures who are the driving forces behind their sporting clubs.

Whether it be as a coach or president, women have left an indelible impression on the sporting landscape of the region.

The further promotion of these pivotal sporting figures is set to be supported through

a $600,000 funding package from the NSW Government.

The funding package will help promote women into leadership roles at sporting organisations across the state.

Minister for Sport Natalie Ward said the funding package will increase the number of exciting new leadership opportunities for women in sports-based roles both on and off the field.

“I am a passionate supporter of women being

involved in all levels of sport, and this package will help open the door for those who aspire to leadership positions,” she said.

“Funding will go towards initiatives that promote women in roles such as coaching, officiating, board directorship and developing inclusive sporting cultures.”

The funding boost is in addition to $640,000 recently announced through the Her Sport Her Way Grant Program.

Ward said the investment would help in making sports leadership more equitable.

“The Her Sport Her Way strategy acknowledges the importance of female leaders and mentors in the sector as coaches, officials and administrators,” she said.

“This investment will enable education programs and support organisations in embedding equitable leadership at all levels of sport, from grassroots

Best clubs of the 2021 home and away winter season

By Aiden BURGESS 2021 has been a big year in local sport, with the recent lockdown unfortunately postponing finals series and a chance to see who would be crowned the champion teams.

It gives us a chance to look back on the region’s standout sporting clubs of the 2021 home and away winter seasons.

Coffs City United Lions: The Lions had a stellar 2021 with the club proving to be the best in North Coast Football.

The Lions remained undefeated on their way to winning this year’s Coastal Premier League minor premiership, and showed their depth in top-class seniors by also winning the reserve grade minor premiership.

The powerhouse club was also strong in the women’s ranks with the Lionesses winning the second division south and over 30s minor premierships in their Northern NSW Community Football seasons.

The Lions were also minor premiers of the Coffs boys 14s competition.

Coffs Harbour Breakers: The brilliant Breakers proved to be the best club of the AFL North Coast in 2021.

The Breakers were minor premiers in three of the four seniors’ competitions, topping the ladder in the seniors, women’s and reserves competitions, and losing just four games between them.

The Breakers were also strong in the juniors with their under 11s and 13s teams making their respective grand finals.

Boambee Bombers: The recent powerhouse of North Coast Football had another successful season in 2021.

Their Coastal Premier League side finished third on the ladder, while the Eagles were premiers of the women’s seniors first division.

The Bombers also took out a junior title as the Coffs Boys 15s premiers.

Coffs Coast Tigers: A big improvement in 2021 saw the Tigers finish second on the ladder in the Coastal Premier League season.

Were also premiers in the Over 35s men’s second division and Coffs Boys 17s competitions.

Urunga Hockey Club: Produced an outstanding season in the Hockey Coffs Coast’s men’s first division, finishing undefeated on top of the ladder with 14 wins and one draw.

Bellingen Hockey Club: Were ladder leaders in three of Hockey Coffs Coast’s eight competitions, leading the way in the women’s division 2, division 3, and junior 13s standings.

Beaches Hockey Club: The best overall club of Hockey Coffs Coast’s 2021 season.

Ladder leaders in the women’s division 1, men’s division 2, and junior 15s competitions.

Were also second in the junior 11s and 13s and men’s division 1 comps at the time of lockdown.

S a w t e l l / To o r m i n a Dodgers: The outstanding club of the Coffs Harbour Baseball Association’s 2021 season.

The Dodgers finished as minor premiers in the A-grade competition and second on the ladder in the B-grade season.

S a w t e l l / To o r m i n a

Saints: The perennial powerhouse of the AFL North Coast had another stellar year in 2021.

Finished second on the ladder in the seniors, reserves, and under 17s competitions, while the Saints Youth Girls team were undefeated minor premiers.

Sawtell Panthers: The stars of this year’s Group 2 Junior Rugby League.

The Panthers have been the dominant junior club in 2021, sitting on top of the ladder in the under 14s and 13s, as well as having premiership contenders in other age groups.

Coffs Harbour Comets: The Comets finished second

AFL North Coast schedule grand finals

By Aiden BURGESS

AFL North Coast have scheduled their season deciders for this coming weekend.

The AFL North Coast scheduled this season’s senior grand finals to be played on Saturday, 11 September, depending on if the lockout is lifted this week as part of the revised Public Health Order.

The grand finals will feature the two top teams of the home and away season who will go straight into a premiership decider rather

than having a normal finals series.

The Coffs Harbour Breakers and Sawtell/ Toormina Saints will play off for the ultimate prize in both the seniors and reserves grand finals at the Ce.x Coffs International Stadium.

The Coffs Harbour Breakers and Northern Beaches Blues meet in the women’s grand final in a rematch of the 2020 premiership decider won by the Breakers.

clash for the flag in the under 17s grand final.

The grand finals will only be able to proceed if a return to community sport is included as part of the revised Public Health Order that the State Government announces on Thursday, 9 September.

To reduce the risk of injury to players that won't have trained or played for a number of weeks up to the premiership deciders, quarter lengths will be reduced by 20% in all grades meaning 20 minute quarters in seniors, 12 minute quarters in women’s and reserves, and 16 minute quarters in Under 17’s.

This season’s junior grand finals are also tentatively scheduled to be played this weekend, on Sunday, 12 September.

AFL North Coast and its clubs have agreed this will be the latest date that the grand finals will be postponed to, having already been postponed from their original date in mid-August due to the lockdown.

The Coffs Harbour Breakers under 11s and under 13s are scheduled to meet the Port Macquarie Flyers and Port Macquarie Swoopers in their respective grand finals at the Ce.x Coffs International Stadium.

Sport NSW will deliver gender inclusive training to sporting organisations and support professional development programs for female leaders.

Sport NSW Chief Executive Officer Ross Bidencope said the funding would support the sector in increasing the number of women in leadership roles and on boards.

“This funding will allow us to expand on programs that promote women in leadership and equip aspiring females with the tools and confidence they need to take on these roles,” he said.

“There will also be a focus on supporting sporting organisations to shift thinking and cultivate positive change so female representation on boards increases.”

Other initiatives to be delivered include the development of mentoring programs, female coaching and leadership programs, mental health networks and youth leadership programs for girls from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement.

Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. After its 5th birthday – warranty expires.
