The vehicle fled at speed and police initiated a pursuit.

The pursuit was terminated a short time later on the Pacific Highway due to the manner of driving.

Police continued to monitor the vehicle before officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District and the Traffic and Highway Patrol sighted it on the Pacific Highway at the intersection of Halls Road.

The Mazda continued north before returning to the Pacific Highway at Harbour Drive, where it collided with another vehicle.

The vehicle attempted to drive away before allegedly hitting a second car.

The occupants fled on foot into a nearby shopping precinct where they were arrested by police just before 11am.

Two males – aged 15 and 16 – were taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station.

Museum Sells For $1m

q Historic Coffs Harbour Museum has been sold to an undisclosed buyer for $1 million by Coffs Harbour City Council. Photo: Emma Darbin.

FROM Page 1 generations time they’re going to look around this city and say ‘is everything just bricks and mortar’ “That building has got a unique character.”

Cr Rhoades said the size of the block of land at the Museum and the price that had been offered for it did not match.

“It’s worth far more than that,” he said.

“Sometimes a lot of its value is not in a monetary dollar term, it’s in being a part of the history of our town.

“We know that the money’s gonna be used for the CCS project, but really for the price being offered and the price of the CCS project, it's like a full stop at the end of a sentence.”

Cr Rhoades expressed his concern that placing a heritage listing on the Museum would not stop the building from being altered in the future.

“This building is a part of our past and we need to preserve it for future generations to be able to see,” Cr Rhoades said.

“I will not be supporting the sale of that property.”

Cr Michael Adendorff ensured Cr Rhoades that protective covenants were “indeed enforceable”.

“Heritage listing is a severe constraint on property and it has to take a brave person to let himself or herself into a heritage protected property with an aim to develop that property,” Cr Adendorff explained.

“I wouldn’t do it, and I know of many other developers who would never do it.”

Cr Adendorff stated that Council should never have bought the Museum building and that he would be “glad to see it out of our portfolio”.

“This property’s location creates severe difficulties for it as a Council asset,” he said.

“I've said this before, I don’t think we ever should have bought this property.

“There is a sense of nostalgia obviously when you talk about anything, but it will soon pass.”

Cr John Arkan spoke against the Museum sale and

said the building linked the CBD area to the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden.

“It’s very important to link parts of the CBD together so that there’s a continuous flow,” Cr Arkan said.

“If we go and sell things like this there is no other big piece of Council land there close to the Botanical Garden.

“This is a gorgeous piece of land in the heart of Coffs Harbour, we owe it to the future generations to keep it and allow it to link this important area (the Cultural and Civic Space project) and then link it to the Botanical Gardens.”

Cr Paul Amos chose to jump ship and support the sale of the Museum, which he had previously opposed.

“I feel like I should explain myself because I have voted against selling this property throughout this,” Cr Amos stated.

“The way I'm looking at this now is, I'm comfortable that the heritage value will be preserved and it will be in reasonable hands, so I think we’ve got that now in place.

“I see that this block now will be restricted as to what they can develop.”

However, Cr Amos said that while he believed the current Museum to be too small for Council’s needs, the new Museum site within the Cultural and Civic Space building was not the answer.

“At this stage this museum probably has reached its potential with regards to what we can do with it as a museum and it has limitations into the future, so I’ll be supporting the sale of this building,” Cr Amos said.

“I really think that moving on from that property and into the Cultural and Civic Space building will not be the answer because we won’t

have a dedicated museum as we know it, we will have a lot of historical displays.

“I think ultimately we will be sourcing another site for a museum down the track and it will probably be more purpose-built.”

Councillors voted for the Coffs Harbour Museum sale 5 votes to 3, with Crs Denise Knight, Michael Adendorff, Paul Amos, George Cecato and Sally Townley voting for the sale and Crs John Arkan, Keith Rhoades and Tegan Swan voting against.

As part of the sale, Council will occupy the Museum property and enter into a three-year lease with a rent of $60,500 per annum until the new Museum in the Cultural and Civic Space building is constructed.

The Museum has been owned by Council since 2010 and has operated as Coffs Harbour Museum ever since.

Coffs Harbour City Council had previously rejected an offer for $950,000 for the Museum in October, 2020, and then resolved in March this year to place a protective covenant on the Museum to protect the building’s heritage and historic value in anticipation of a potential future sale.

The Museum building located in Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour, was formerly used as a police station and courthouse in the area.

Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight urged councillors to move forward with the Museum sale at Council’s meeting on Thursday 8 July.

“I think it’s about time that we were moving forward on this,” Cr Knight stated.

“We did put up that this building would be heritage listed and we know that the potential buyer is very interested and will keep it that way.”

Mayor Knight said she had personally spoken with the potential buyer of the Museum on the day of the Council meeting and that he had informed her that he will “absolutely preserve this building”.

Cr Keith Rhoades spoke against the sale at the Council meeting.

“This is one of the last remaining pieces of our local history, information about our town’s past,” Cr Rhoades stressed.

Significant issues with placing a future Regional Athletics Centre at both York Street Oval and Bruce Barnier Oval have been acknowledged by Coffs Harbour City councillors, with a new greenfield site now to be investigated.

By Emma DARBIN

SIGNIFICANT issues with placing a future Regional Athletics Centre at both York Street Oval and Bruce Barnier Oval have been acknowledged by Coffs Harbour City councillors, with a new greenfield site now to be investigated as a possible future localtion.

Councillors debated the longrunning controversial issue for more than an hour at Council’s meeting on Thursday 8 July.

Nicola Johnstone spoke at the meeting on behalf of the local and regional athletics community urging councillors to place the Regional Athletics Centre (RAC) at Bruce Barnier Oval, within the Coffs Harbour Sport and Leisure Park.

“The option of a greenfield site will delay the process significantly as it takes the RAC back to square one,” Ms Johnstone stressed to councillors.

“We have been there before, we’ve moved on, we don’t need to go backwards.

“The greenfield site will also be significantly more costly than any other option.”

Ms Johnstone stated that Bruce Barnier Oval was the most logical

site for the RAC. “It is the least expensive option and it is the only option which will see the RAC established in the near future,” she said.

North Coast Football General Manager Andrew Woodward also expressed his frustration with Council at the meeting.

“It’s nearly six months to the day since I was last here and in those six months sadly little has changed,” Mr Woodward said.

“We’re further away from an answer today than we were six months ago.

“We’re concerned, we’re frustrated and we’re disappointed.”

Mr Woodward called on councillors to select Bruce Barnier Oval as the site for the Regional Athletics Centre and to rule out the Moonee Sports Complex site as a potential greenfield site.

“Putting a RAC at Moonee would be a disaster for sport on the Northern Beaches,” he stressed.

“We can have the Regional Athletics Centre at Bruce Barnier Oval, the Moonee Sports Complex can be had sooner rather than later and we can keep all current visiting events.”

Mr Woodward stated that at a recent Regional Athletics Centre Stakeholder Workshop only one out of 15 stakeholders, Oztag, was against placing the RAC at Bruce Barnier Oval.

“This Council has done a great job with the Stadium precinct, but you need to finish the job,” he said.

“The missing piece of the Stadium precinct is the Regional Athletics Centre.”

Cr Sally Townley moved an alternate recommendation that Council reject York Street Oval as a possible site for the RAC and investigate another greenfield site and compare this site’s suitability against Bruce Barnier Oval.

“I think everyone in this Council wants to commit to the idea of a Regional Athletics Centre,” Cr Townley said.

“To locate the facility at York Street doesn’t suit anyone particularly well; the York Street site has a lot more demands on it in the future.

“Is there a greenfield site out there that we don’t know of, maybe.”

Cr Townley said any future greenfield site needed to be

compared against the Bruce Barnier Oval site.

“I think that Bruce Barnier needs to stay on the table and be compared to a new site so that we can really stack it up,” she said.

“It’s not ideal to seek a greenfield option, but I guess what it does do is make sure that we’ve considered every possible option.”

Cr Paul Amos called on Council to seek a formalised commitment from Oztag for its continued use of Coffs Harbour Stadium Sports fields, and for Council to liaise with the State Government to identify State Government controlled lands suitable for a synthetic athletic

“We’ve heard so many reasons why know about their long term plans and goals that they want to put in to place, this is the correct location for the Regional Athletics Centre which we all want,” Cr Adendorff said.

“Let’s stop denying ourselves and let’s just grab it while we can.

“Let’s please grab the moment.”

Councillors instead resolved 6 votes to 2 to investigate a Council owned greenfield site including Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park and adjacent leased areas for a Regional Athletics Centre, and to consider the allocation of $40,000 at the next quarterly budget review to progress the site selection and preliminary concept planning.

Council will also consider a further report with a recommended greenfield site location and assessment with a comparison against Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park, seek a formalised commitment from Oztag for continued use of Coffs Harbour Stadium eet Oval and Bruce Barnier Oval Sports fields, and liaise with the State enfield site for the future Regional Government to identify State Government controlled lands suitable for a synthetic athletic facility.

Denise Knight won’t recontest election

q Denise Knight stepping aside as Mayor – seen here speaking at Coffs Waste conference in May.

By Andrea FERRARI

“I WILL step completely aside”, Denise Knight told News Of The Area, as Coffs Harbour’s longest serving mayor announced she will not be standing in September’s elections.

“I have given my best.

“I have tried to be a good mayor and set a good example; being in this role has been an absolute privilege.”

Ms Knight is proud of being able to support the community as the city went through floods, bushfires and covid, thanking the SES, the Red Cross and all the volunteers for their hard work.

“When we were going through the bushfires I was at the control centre every day, at C. ex Coffs amongst the people who’d lost their homes and were getting a bed for the night there…I slept over one night.”

“Did I build a bridge?” she asked rhetorically.

“I was instrumental in getting new public toilets for the city, getting the Jetty Foreshores revamped, managing the Coffs Airport lease, the renovation of the International Stadium and securing the State of Origin, Big Bash League (BBL)

and Elton John at the Stadium, and supporting our creative industries.”

Ms Knight has presided over more than 2,000 citizenships and supported numerous charitable organisations including The Men’s Shed and Rotary and stood on many committees over her two tenures as Mayor of Coffs Harbour.

“There’s just been so many highlights including working with my colleagues and fellow councillors and I acknowledge the mayors who came before me who set a direction to follow.

“I’m proud of starting the school children’s program to bring them into council’s offices where I could talk with them about local government to give them an understanding about how it all works.”

Denise says she instigated an

open-door policy where people (the community) can come by and have a chat.

“I’ve seen many people who are upset about an issue, they’re crying so we have a chat, a cup of tea and a bickie.

“I have no regrets…I’ve loved the good, the bad and the ugly.

“Social media can be quite venomous, and people do have a right to their own opinions.

“The next mayor needs to put their seatbelt on.”

Denise said, ”I won’t be here (Coffs) for the elections; the new people don’t need me hanging around putting in my two bob’s worth.”

So, what’s next?

“Who knows? …there've been a couple of phone calls, but for now I need a break, and it will not be 1000kms away as one report said.”

“Of all sports in the area, football has the greatest potential to grow in the years ahead,” both men stated.

“That growth will only occur with the right facilities in the right places.

of the Moonee site would free up York St and Korora Ovals, which are currently utilised by Northern Storm Football Club, for possible community green spaces or the further growth of other sports.

“York Street and Korora Ovals have both been neglected for expenditure over the last few years due to uncertainty over the Regional Athletic Centre’s location,” they said.

“There must be considerable investment in both sites in the short term to bring them up to an acceptable standard.

“This expenditure would not be required should football move to the Moonee site.”

Mr Woodward and Mr Lloyd said it was football’s hope that all three levels of government come together and ensure that: ● Moonee Sports Complex is built by 2025. ● The Regional

Athletics Centre is built in the south Coffs Harbour regional sports hub, as the State Government designated location for elite sports, as a matter of priority. ● Alternative arrangements are made for any impacted local and visiting sports. ● York Street and Korora Ovals return to

general-purpose community open space, or potential sites for other growth sports, following Northern Storm’s relocation to Moonee.

North Coast Football and Northern Storm Football Club will be pursuing both the Federal and State Governments and oppositions, Coffs Harbour City Council and council

candidates for expedited funding commitments for the future Moonee Sports Complex.

Northern Storm Football Club intends to remain at York Street and Korora Ovals for the time being and continue to advocate for its sole tenancy of both sites during the winter sports season until it moves to

Moonee.

“Football will work with Council in the coming months on its review of sites for the Regional Athletics Centre to ensure that its interests and those of the broader sports community are incorporated into the recommendation put to the next Council,” Mr Woodward and Mr Lloyd stated.

Specsavers launches new hearing care service in Coffs Park Beach Hearing loss affects approximately 8,026 people in Coffs Harbour and, according to research, it takes Australians on average 7-10 years to acknowledge they have hearing loss before taking action. At Specsavers, we don’t want the community of Coffs Harbour to wait that long, and that’s why we are delighted to announce the introduction of a new audiology service in-store. Specsavers Audiology Coffs Park Beach is now open to help with any hearing concerns, with qualified audiology professional Divya Mukundan onsite to test and care for locals’ hearing health.

“Once you reach 40 years old, hearing checks should be as regular as eye checks. When you visit Specsavers Coffs Park Beach, you will be provided with quality care and a solution based on your lifestyle and budget. We will never recommend hearing aids if you don’t need them or suggest spending more money than you have to”, says Mukundan. “Prices for our full range

of latest technology hearing devices are available online or instore so you know exactly how much you will pay. Our comprehensive hearing assessments are the start of your hearing journey that we can support along the way for years to come.”

SIGNS YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE MAY BENEFIT FROM A HEARING CHECK “Hearing loss can be incredibly isolating, and our ability to form and maintain good social relationships is important to life satisfaction and good mental health. We are innately social creatures after all,” Divya Mukundan says.

Our research found that Australians aged 40 years and older know at least two people they think suffer from hearing loss. It also found that 80% say they have felt concerned about their own hearing at some point in time and of these, the

equivalent of 2,000,000 Australians have felt concerned about their hearing frequently. That’s a lot of conversations missed!

Divya says if you or anyone you know experiences any of the below tell-tale signs, you may benefit from some expert qualified advice that begins with a free 15-minute hearing check* at Specsavers Coffs Park Beach.

• Do you have the TV or radio turned up louder?

• Do you find telephone conversations hard work or find yourself always using the speaker option?

• Do you ask people to repeat things?

HOW TO ENSURE YOU PROTECT YOUR HEARING HEALTH Divya Mukundan recommends a few simple things to help prolong your hearing. “Test the noise around you with the ‘one metre rule’. If you need to raise your voice to talk to someone one metre away, the sound level is likely to be hazardous to hearing.

And insist on wearing personal hearing protection such as earplugs, earmuffs or both remembering that everyday equipment, such as lawnmowers and power tools may be loud enough to negatively impact your hearing. Finally of course, create a normal routine of hearing checks.”

For more information or to book a hearing check, visit specsavers.com.au/ hearing Alternatively contact Specsavers Coffs Park Beach on 6675 0716.

• Do you have difficulty following conversations in groups of people or find yourself lip reading?

• Has someone suggested you might not be hearing as well as you used to?

*This is a 15-minute appointment, if further testing is required a fee will be incurred.

Fiery debate occurs over deferral of Council building sale

By Emma DARBIN

A DECISION on the sale of Coffs Harbour City Council’s Chambers and Castle Street building for $7.25m to help fund the $81m Cultural and Civic Space project has been deferred due to a last minute offer made on the site.

The decision caused heated debate between Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight and Cr John Arkan at the Council meeting on Thursday 8 July, with Cr Arkan wanting to move a motion on the sale and Mayor Knight calling for discussion on the matter to be deferred.

Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath confirmed that Council had received an “eleventh hour offer” for the Council building at 11am on the day of the Council meeting.

“The opportunity is there for Council to consider that,” Mr McGrath stated.

Cr Paul Amos, however, argued that councillors required three days' notice of any changes made to the Council meeting papers.

Cr Sally Townley also objected to the new information “being included only hours or minutes before

the meeting”.

“I would propose that we defer this item to the next meeting,” Cr Townley said.

Mayor Knight said she understood “everyone’s frustrations” on the issue.

Cr John Arkan, however, continually asked the Mayor to allow him to put forward his motion on the Council building sale.

“Let the motion be heard that I have,” Cr Arkan urged.

Cr Arkan’s continual insistence to have his motion heard led to a shouting match between Mayor Knight and himself, with the Mayor repeatedly calling for Cr Arkan to “sit down”.

“Will you let me speak, sit down,” Mayor Knight ordered Cr Arkan.

“Mayor, will you let me speak,” Cr Arkan replied.

“No Cr Arkan, sit down,” Mayor Knight said.

“I hate it when it goes like this,” Cr Arkan said.

“Well, you started it,” Mayor Knight replied.

“There’s no need to do that,” Cr Arkan said.

“Well, I asked you to sit down, I expect you to sit down,” Mayor Knight said.

“Madam Mayor, point of

q A decision on the sale of Council’s administration building and chambers to fund the Cultural and Civic Space project will occur at the next Council meeting. Photo: Emma Darbin.

order,” Cr Arkan stated.

Cr Arkan eventually offered up to Council his alternate motion to defer the sale of the Council building and obtain a current valuation of the property for Council to consider, and to provide costings for the conduct of an auction to sell the property in the future.

Mayor Knight ruled the motion out of order.

“Well that’s interesting, thankyou,” Cr Arkan said.

Mayor Knight instead moved a motion to defer discussion on the sale of the Council building and the new offer for the building to the

next Council meeting.

“I feel that deferring those two items so we can discuss them at a later date when we have all the information that is included in the addendum (further offer) is much more satisfactory,” Mayor Knight said.

Cr Keith Rhoades called for the debate on the sale to be deferred to the next Ordinary meeting of Council on Thursday 22 July and not to an earlier Extraordinary meeting.

“This is a very, very important issue and the community needs to be given the opportunity to be a part of

that,” Cr Rhoades stressed.

“The community has a right to debate the issues that are not contained within a confidential report.”

Mayor Knight confirmed to councillors “we’re getting very close to caretaker with this one”.

Council will enter the caretaker period from Friday 6 August until the Local Government Election on Saturday 4 September, and during this period Council is unable to make decisions on the sale of land or enter a contract or undertaking involving the expenditure of or receipt by Council of an

amount equal to or greater than $150,000.

Councillors voted unanimously to defer discussion on the sale of the Council building and the new offer for the building to the next Ordinary Council meeting on Thursday 22 July as adequate time was not available to review the late offer.

If the sale is approved, Council will continue to occupy the property and will enter into a three-year lease with an annual rent of $850,000 per year.

Council has held the property since the mid1980s when it was developed

by Council and has since operated it as Council’s central administration building and chambers.

Johno Jones champions dumping solutions Litter and dumping champion, Johno Jones has received a response after a consultation with Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour.

By Andrea FERRARI

LITTER and dumping champion, Johno Jones has received a response after a consultation with Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour.

Mr Singh wrote to the General Manager of Coffs Harbour City Council (CHCC) representing Johno’s questions about what the Council can organise to clean up and dispose of, the growing amount of illegal general dumping and littering, including dangerous items such as needles, in public places.

Mick Raby, Director Sustainable Infrastructure at CHCC replied to the letter, suggesting Johno contact

Council Waste officers to discuss appropriate collection/disposal options.

Johno has consulted with an officer from CHCC’s waste team who requested that he report illegal dumping using the Report-Illegal-Dumping (RID) Online tool.

There is currently no provision in Council’s adopted fees and charges for the exemption of tipping fees outside of organised clean ups such as Australia Day and other Clean-up events.

The two bulky good vouchers and two subsidised book-in kerbside bulky household waste collections per annum were brought in, in 2018 as part of the LGA’s new Waste Collection and Processing Contract which,

q A dumped shopping trolley full of plastic waste is being added to household rubbish.

according to Mick Raby’s letter, has seen a significant reduction in the incidents of kerbside dumping and illegal dumping in public places, and the amount of waste going into landfill from these services has decreased.

“Reintroduction of the previous twice yearly kerbside bulky waste collections would see a dramatic increase in waste to landfill including recoverable materials and would see our streets once again littered by unsightly piles of waste for most of the year,” concluded Mick’s letter.

Johno expressed concerns that the RID Online tool was ineffective.

“According to many

locals that have contacted me, the RID Online email has been a major let-down here and rarely is acted upon,” Johno told News Of The Area.

COFFS COASTNews COASTNews Of The Area q Johno Jones says he finds dumping “everywhere” and finds it particularly irksome when it’s on a waterway.

Photos taken in Newports Creek, Coffs on Monday 12 July.

“In my conversations with Council they blame the homeless…the homeless don’t go dumping lounges,” he said.

Committed to his Coffs clean-up cause, Johno is undeterred by Council’s response.

“I’m organising a meeting with a minister; I’ve reached out to Ray Hadley and I’m meeting with the OzFish group on 29 July, who rectify waterways, fish habitat and rubbish removal therein; and I’ve reached out to Landline and Dunecare.”

q “Everyone I’ve spoken to is annoyed at the dumping in and around Coffs,” says Johno.

$9.8m apartment complex proposed for Shoreline workers

By Emma DARBIN

A DEVELOPMENT application for a $9.8 million four-storey apartment complex to house workers constructing the Shoreline retirement village and aged care building at Park Beach has been lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council.

Applicant and land owner, Rowville Park Pty Ltd has lodged the application to build a residential flat building comprising 27 apartments, titled Arthur Apartments, directly across the road from the Shoreline

construction site on a vacant block of land in Arthur Street, Coffs Harbour, which is currently used for overflow parking from nearby Park Beach Plaza.

Rowville Park Pty Ltd is a subsidiary of the Bachrach Naumburger Group, which operates Park Beach Plaza and the Shoreline complex.

The proposal is for the development of 27 residential apartments and 33 ground floor car parking spaces.

The apartment building will feature a mix of one, two and three bedroom

apartments which will be offered by way of professionally managed rental accommodation.

“The main driver for this project is the rental crisis in Coffs harbour and the need to ensure a supply of housing for Shoreline Seniors Housing frontline workers,” development application documents state.

“Although it is also possible to offer any spare accommodation capacity to the general rental market.”

The new apartment complex is hoped to help

attract staff to Coffs Harbour and alleviate the current housing crisis in the region.

“Key workers would be located walking distance to employment at Shoreline and to day to day needs,” the development application states.

“The proposed development provides suitable high quality residential rental accommodation which is under-supplied in Coffs

Harbour.

“This proposal is considered to have a high visual quality in its presentation to the public streets and will be an identifiable development in its own right.”

The development application includes a variation to Council development standards including a variation to front setback requirements and a variation to the density

control.

“The requested variation to front setback for the building would permit a development consistent with the desired future character of this zone,” the application stated.

The Shoreline building is expected to open from March 2022 and will include independent living apartments as well as a 120bed residential aged care facility.

Woolgoolga community oppose new bike lane

By Emma DARBIN

A WOOLGOOLGA community group has come out in opposition of the soon to be built Woolgoolga on-road bike lane, claiming it has been “thrown on Woolgoolga without proper planning”.

Coffs Harbour City Council recently announced the construction of a three-metre wide dedicated on-road bike lane in Woolgoolga, which will be built along Clarence Street and Beach Street and will lead into the town centre.

The on-road bike lane is a first for the Coffs Harbour region and it will be trialed in Woolgoolga from the end of this month until December, with its permanence in the town to be decided by the community.

Northern Beaches Residents Association president Ray Willing said many Woolgoolga residents and business owners were angry about the new bike lane.

“We are being given rubbish and spin by the Council staff members on this, it’s not what Woolgoolga wants, it wants something thought through, properly planned,” Mr Willing said.

“People want to make

sure we don’t bugger up the entrance way to town, and in the process get a cycleway which is sub-optimal and doesn’t provide contact for West Woolgoolga and North Woolgoolga in particular.

“What they’re doing is really unfair on Woolgoolga.”

Council was allocated a State Government grant of $800,000 in August 2020 for the Green Spine Pilot Project to construct a cycleway along Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour.

However, after encountering problems with constructing the cycleway in the Harbour Drive area, Council decided to transfer

the funding to the new Woolgoolga bike lane.

“The funding has been redirected - with the agreement of the NSW Government - to the Woolgoolga project because it is a pilot and the much busier Harbour Drive options would have made the project a great deal more complex in terms of negotiating a high number of intersections and the major roundabout at the Hogbin Drive/Harbour Drive intersection,” a Council spokesperson stated.

However, Council is now stating that the State Government grant funding for the Woolgoolga bike lane is $555,000, $250,000 less than the funding it received for the Harbour Drive cycleway.

q The establishment of the region’s first on-road bike lane at Woolgoolga at the end of this month is causing community concern. Photo: Coffs Harbour City Council.

“While the initial announcement mentioned a figure of $800,000, prior to receiving any funds we received agreement to change the project location to Woolgoolga, and have since been given the $550,000 grant we requested for this project,” a Council spokesperson said.

The grant approval deadline for construction of the Woolgoolga bike lane is December 2021, the same deadline Council had for the original Harbour Drive cycleway..

Mr Willing argued that the Harbour Drive cycleway was approved by the State Government in August 2020 and that it had been planned beforehand by Council.

“They’ve had months to think about it,” Mr Willing said. ”We are given almost no time.

“The timeline on the contract is December, that is the reason why this is being thrown on Woolgoolga without proper planning.”

Mr Willing also stated that the Harbour Drive area had a lot more car parks than Woolgoolga had to accommodate a new bike lane.

“We don’t have that in Woolgoolga,” he said.

“There is no parking plan for Woolgoolga, yet they’re prepared to remove parking without telling people what the alternatives are.

“It’s terrible treatment of Woolgoolga and it’s not at all not appreciating the cycleway,

some time to keep them fully informed on this project.”

Council stated that further consultation will be happening during the project with the broader community in Woolgoolga to evaluate the trial project’s success.

Funding for the bike lane has been allocated from the NSW Government’s ‘Streets as Shared Spaces Program’, which is specifically aimed at delivering trial projects that test ideas for more permanent improvements to local streets, paths and public spaces.

The program grew out of the COVID pandemic and the value people have placed on the use of public open spaces during the pandemic.

The $15 million State Government program was launched in May 2020 as a pilot to enable improvements across NSW during COVID-19 and into the future, which support essential workers to travel to work and people working from home, contribute to NSW’s economic recovery in local centres by creating vibrant streets and additional safe spaces to support local business, activate high streets to create better quality public space, support physical distancing requirements and encourage safe social connection, support the wellbeing of local communities and their ability to exercise, and attract people back into public spaces in a safe way.

on the contrary, it’s having the best planned cycleway that we might be able to keep after this so-called trial finishes, that’s the point.”

State Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the new Woolgoolga bike path “seems quite rushed” and expressed his concern over the amount of parking that would be lost once the bike lane was in place.

“At the moment it looks like we’re losing parking but gaining a bike path, that seems to be what’s happening,” Mr Singh said.

“Parking is already at a premium in Woolgoolga and any solution should look to preserve as much parking as possible.

“As a cyclist, I'm always keen to see more cycling infrastructure, but I question whether this is the best spot for it.”

Council stated that it had been in contact with the Northern Beaches Residents Association (NBRA) about the new bike lane.

“In addition to the extensive consultation undertaken for the adopted Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan, of which a bike network was one of the desired outcomes, more recently Council has consulted key stakeholders along the route to ensure the design accommodates their needs,” a Council spokesperson stated.

North Coast Football GM runs for Bellingen Mayor

q Running for positions on Bellingen Shire Council at the upcoming Local Government Election are (from left) Paul Mulally, Andrew Woodward, Luke Barbagallo and Paul Hemphill. Photo: supplied.

By Emma DARBIN

NORTH Coast Football General Manager Andrew Woodward has announced his candidacy at the upcoming Bellingen Shire Council election, and his intention to run for the position of Mayor.

Mr Woodward will be running as part of the Labor Party at the election on Saturday 4 September and will lead a ticket of four locals, all with diverse experience in business and community engagement.

The Labor team has been assembled from local towns and villages in the Shire and includes Andrew Woodward (for Mayor and Councillor), Luke Barbagallo (for Councillor), Paul Hemphill (for Councillor) and Paul Mulally (for Councillor).

The team’s top priority is community safety through ensuring the security of residents, roads, rivers and forests.

Mr Woodward said Bellingen Shire needed change and progress.

“Nothing is happening,” he said.

“Social, economic and

environmental progress has stalled.

“We need to take the handbrake off.”

Mr Woodward said to progress the Shire, the Council needed new councillors.

“We need new and qualified people on the council who are committed to change and progress,” he said.

“To continue to be a great place, Bellingen Shire

must progress steadily and sensibly.

“I have the experience, credentials and commitment to deliver change.”

The Labor team intends to revamp the Council’s operations to improve community services and make the government organisation more peoplefriendly and responsive.

It also intends to ensure the Council lives within its means through sound

budget management and is promising broad economic growth by creating jobs across the Shire in multiple industries as well as providing practical support to small businesses and farmers to help them establish, grow and market.

Central to the team’s plan is stringent environmental protection with programs to protect and restore nature, and the team also has plans to deliver

critical infrastructure to improve amenity, safety and opportunity for all.

Mr Woodward's career has included business management in Australia and overseas, and he has been active in developing social, economic and environmental policy at National and State levels for more than twenty years.

He has worked in senior roles as an organiser, sponsor, consultant and

journalist on events such as the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, FIFA World Cup, Rugby World Cup, NFL, MLB and A-League and was part of the successful bid team which led to Sydney staging the Olympic Games.

In 2014, he met and trained with Al Gore, the former Vice President of the United States of America, who inspired him to advocate for action on climate change.

Luke Barbagallo has professional experience in international and community development, education, small business and hospitality management, and his motivation to run for Council stems from his desire to support environmentally sustainable tourism and small businesses within the Shire.

Paul Hemphill has been connected to Bellingen Shire since he first came to the area as a musician in 1984.

Now retired, he has worked as accountant and manager and has experience in project and change management, training and mentoring.

Paul Mulally ran a law practice covering family law, crime and legal aid work and is now settled in Dorrigo.

He is involved in local community groups and holds board positions on two not for profit groups in Dorrigo.

Beekeeping Hive of Activity

By Sandra MOON STATE government funding support for the beekeeping industry means recovery from the 2019 and 2020 bushfires can happen sooner rather than later.

According to data from the NSW state Government the 2019 to 2020 bushfire season destroyed over 9,800 hives, with another 88,000 suffering heat and smoke damage.

The NSW and Australian governments will provide $1.9 million in funding for apiary projects including an audit of NSW governmentowned land for suitable bee sites, establishing pollinator-friendly plants

in rural NSW, upskilling beekeepers by subsidising courses in biosecurity and queen breeding, establishing a ‘Honey Library’ by profiling the unique chemical composition of NSW honey and researching projects on new honey markets and enhancing forest and bee health for high-value medicinal honey.

Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall says identifying public land that can be used for hives will help increase honey production.

“We will also lead the development of a ‘Honey Library’ to help identify the unique profile of NSW honey to ensure provenance as well

as protect the high-quality reputation of the state’s industry," Mr Marshall said.

Local beekeeper Ben Laybutt has hives from Glenreagh down to Macksville and said all the projects were beneficial.

“We have been trying to get access to government owned lands so the investigation of better access into public land is a great thing as beekeepers are crying out for it.

“Traditionally State Forest are amenable but other government agencies haven't been,” he said.

“For example on the coast there are a whole lot of paperbarks flowering through winter but most of the land they are on is controlled by the RMS, Coastal Reserves and National Parks and you can't

get into that.”

Mr Laybutt and his family have six hundred production hives and they are currently on ten blueberry farms as

Draft Plan of Management for Botanic Garden

By Emma DARBIN

A DRAFT Plan of Management for the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden has been finalised by Coffs Harbour City Council.

The draft will now be referred to the Crown Lands Division of the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment for its input into the plan and its approval to place the plan on public exhibition prior to the plan’s adoption by Council.

Cr Sally Townley stated at Council’s meeting on Thursday 8 July that it was good to see “these plans of management rolling out at last”, but expressed her concern that the plan didn’t contain the word ‘koala’ once.

“The Botanic Garden is a key piece of koala habitat in our city and I would have thought that’s an integral value in that area, so I was quite surprised that it wasn’t mentioned, even once,” Cr Townley said.

Cr Townley then stated that she would be making a submission to the plan on the issue.

Cr John Arkan agreed that it was good to see the plan drafted.

“It’s really good to see this plan coming ahead and getting out there,” Cr Arkan

said.

“I’d like to say how magnificent it is that this city of ours has a balanced environment.

“It’s just another example of what a magnificent place we live in, and it’s a green wonderful space in the heart of the city.”

The purpose of the plan of management is to provide a framework for the ongoing use and management of the land.

A Council report on the plan stated that the plan’s overall aim was that the reserve will “continue to provide benefits to the community”.

The plan of management authorises the wide variety of uses that the reserve has been, or is currently being used for, while also providing sufficient flexibility for Council to modify the use or management of the reserve into the future.

The plan states that the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden is “a significant cultural, aesthetic, scientific and

educational resource”.

Council staff have agreed to include a commitment to undertake an exploration of the cultural heritage values of the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden within three years of the adoption of the plan.

Council must adopt a Plan of Management for all Crown reserves classified as ‘community land’ and for which Council has been appointed the land manager.

Council has been appointed manager for more than 50 such reserves, ranging from developed sites for sporting and play to undeveloped natural settings such as bushland, foreshores, beaches and wetlands.

Brian Baff Memorial Bike and Car show

By Andrea FERRARI

THE inaugural Brian Baff Memorial Bike and Car Show and Shine, was held on Saturday July 10 in conjunction with the Made in Dorrigo Markets.

“A healthy roll-up of exotic motorcycles, cars and trucks was viewed by many on a crisp, clear Dorrigo day,” event organiser Peter Robson told News Of The Area.

“It was a fantastic tribute to ‘Baffy’, one of Dorrigo's local legends.

“Brian Baff, ‘Baffy’ was a local born and bred mechanic, lived in Dorrigo all his life, sold, serviced and repaired all sorts of machinery.

“He was a great help to many and a genuine community contributor,” said Peter.

Run by the region’s Chamber of Commerce, car and bike enthusiasts were invited to show anything two, three or four wheeled.

“We invited anyone to bring along their pride and joy that they are in love with for visitors to also fall in love with.

“Entries ranged from 1970s kids mini-bikes to Jack and Rob Keough's Mack Truck.

“We put it out to the visitors on the day to vote for their favourites in three

classes.

“By donating a gold coin into the teacup attached to each vehicle, people voted with their dollars.”

The winners were: People's Choice car: Brad Keough's Chevy Ute. People's Choice bike: Cooper Young’s Minibike Chopper.

People's Choice Truck or Tractor: Jack Keough's Mack Truck.

“Because our event was held alongside the Made in

Dorrigo Markets we had a lot of visitors up here, looking and voting and I think they liked the fact that the vehicles were treasures, not all perfectly ‘done up’,” said Peter.

“A big thank you goes to sponsors who provided prize money, the Heritage Hotel Motel Dorrigo, Elders Dorrigo, Peter Mortimore Gallery and Dorrigo Mountain Holiday Park.”

Proceeds from entry and voting go back into Dorrigo Chamber of Commerce funds.

GREY NOT GREY To hide or enhance? That is the question. Adrian at Celtic Roots Hair Designers can’t answer that question for you, but he can offer some practical advice.

“If the grey hairs really bother you, then the only way to get rid of them is to colour them - all of them! Be warned, though, that doing this means regular maintenance every six weeks.

“One option is to go with lowlights and highlights. If we add light and warm tones to complement the natural hair colour and skin tone, considerably less upkeep is required.

By adding tones you don’t get rid of the grey but rather, soften it and make it warmer. Plus you can change with the seasons i.e. lighter in the summer, richer in the winter.

“Alternatively, you could embrace the grey and add a rinse.

This can either turn the grey more silvery or you could go for pastel tones for fun and warmth. “ The question then becomes: how necessary is it to remove the grey completely and, more importantly, how much up-keep do you wish to invest in? Be honest with yourself – and with your hairdresser!

Ask the Bride

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Coast wedding services, from hairdressers to venues, men’s formalwear to photobooths, have excelled in the Mid North Coast Brides Choice Awards 2021.

Victoria Harper, Wedding & Events Manager at Cedar Bar & Kitchen in Bellingen, which won the Wedding Venue – Historic category, told News Of The Area, “Being voted on and chosen by our couples means the world to us.

“They’re the ones we work so hard for to create their beautiful day.

“We’ve been participating in Brides Awards for five years and been awarded a couple of times; it’s really humbling, and we truly appreciate winning this year.” q Cedar Bar & Kitchen winning wedding venue.

Brides Choice Awards, now in its tenth year, is a customer-voted, recognition organisation which supports and rewards wedding businesses that operate in over thirty Regional Areas of Australia.

“We have over fifty five categories of services a bride, or couple, would consider when they are planning their wedding,” said

www.newsofthearea.com.au Bob Bushby, founder of Brides Choice.

“They can be nano businesses, small businesses or even major corporates.”

It’s a non-member organisation which acknowledges wedding businesses that have excelled and exceeded the expectations of their brides.

Bob’s founding philosophy was, “The best way to acknowledge the best wedding businesses is to ask the brides themselves.

“Brides of Australia vote for those businesses that have extended outside their

expectations; it’s an opportunity for them to tell the world about the business, and acknowledges and rewards the businesses’ endeavours,” said Bob. Newlywed couples who have been married over the past twelve-month period are eligible to vote and are targeted through Facebook Marketing seeking their support to vote for the TOP5 Wedding Suppliers.

Newlywed couples vote from their wedding experience on businesses that they believed went beyond the call of duty on a range of criteria in their delivery to the couples’ wedding days.

Coffs winners include: The PhotoShack, Boo & Bo’s Blooms, Two Tails Winery, Coffs Coast Love Letters, Let The Day Sparkle, Carmel Kestles Makeup Artist, Harlow & Co hairstylist and Jack Simmons Mensland.

With the 2021 Awards’ announcement, Brides Choice 2022 begins.

Bringing the Band Back Together

By David WIGLEY

COFFS Harbour’s newest chamber ensemble ‘Trio March' will play their debut performance on Friday 16 July at the Coffs Conservatorium.

The three members; Annabelle Swainston, Maggie Pang and Caleb Murray crossed paths at different points in their individual musical journeys before finding each other on the Coffs Coast.

Almost ten years ago, Annabelle and Maggie began their friendship at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music

whilst Annabelle met Caleb through programs of the Australian Youth Orchestra.

Just to also complete the triangle, it was only a few years ago that Maggie and Caleb were colleagues at the Australian National Academy of Music in Melbourne where they performed together live for a national broadcast on ABC Classic FM. “This time last year I was living in Sydney, Caleb was in Melbourne and Maggie was in Melbourne, so I guess we’ve brought the band back together in Coffs Harbour.“ “I have known and played

alongside Caleb and Maggie for over ten years where music has created a special bond between us.

“With such beautiful beaches and forests around us, there is no reason for us not to be inspired to collaborate and make some beautiful music.

“We all have birthdays in March three days apart and that’s why we called ourselves ‘Trio March’,” said Annabelle, who teaches violin and is the ensemble co-ordinator at the Coffs Conservatorium.

She may teach the instrument now, but for

q ’Trio March’ practicing at the conservatorium for their debut performance on Friday 16 July. several years Annabelle refused to play violin because it was too loud!

“I started playing the piano when I was five years old, my mum was a violin player but for four years I thought it was too loud and didn’t start playing until I was nine years old.

“We will be performing the second sonata from the Norwegian composer Greig which is very nostalgic to me as it is the music my parents played in the car when we went on roadtrips, it gives me so many emotions and memories, it’s a wonderful piece of music,” said Annabelle.

When News Of The Area asked Annabelle what it feels like to perform a sonata in public, she was lost for

words.

“It’s hard to describe, there’s so much energy and emotion in a performance, you just get in the zone.

“It’s the most magical feeling, it feels effortless, special and very exciting and makes all of the hours of practice worth it.

“The music takes you on an emotional rollercoaster expressing different nuances with each note.

“At the final crescendo there is an overwhelming feeling of joy and euphoria and you just want to high five and hug your fellow musicians, it’s an amazing feeling,” said Annabelle.

However, the piano trio

by Brahms, takes on a very different meaning for pianist Maggie Pang who performed

the trio in a New York festival on a Steinway piano that was once owned by the great pianist, Rachmaninoff.

“There is always something really satisfying in learning and performing any chamber work by Brahms, but gosh, to overcome the technically and emotionally complex nature of his piano parts is like climbing Mount Everest.

“He can write the most tender music but then suddenly get into a frenzied state of grief and even anger.

“Rehearsing this with Caleb and Annie has been such an amazing experience because the piece gives us so many opportunities to delve into the musical intricacies of colour and sound as an ensemble,” said Maggie.

A young David attended Sawtell Primary School and was the newspaper boy, pedaling around Sawtell in the early hours of the morning.

“It is hard to go anywhere in Sawtell without seeing the contributions and life of his life, from the school to the

“David attended Jetty high school - ‘the Jetty Gaol’ - and apparently ‘Sawtell Alley’ was the place where you could only sit if you came from the southside.”

He surfed at ‘Roby’s tracks’ and when the Qantas plane went over, he knew that it was time to get out of the surf and get ready for school, travelling on the Mail Train.

After high school, David became a brickie and got involved in Sawtell Surf Club, holding various club roles, competing up and down the coast as part of the Rescue and Resuscitation (R&R) team.

During these years David was part of the NOT SOBA crew – ‘North of Taree Surfing Old Boys Association’.

His little brother remembers parties in the backyard with long-haired surfers drinking out of larry pots and panel vans lining Boronia Street.

David met and married Crossmaglen girl Linda Wallace in 1974 and welcomed children, Bradley, Shane and Lisa into the world.

RADIO broadcast equipment dating back twenty five years is set to be upgraded at CHY FM 104.1 and bring the broadcaster into the future.

The studio broadcast layout system upgrade won’t come cheaply but CHY FM’s Manager Angie Vaughan said the system is well overdue for replacement.

The upgrade is thanks to funding from the Community Broadcasting Foundation.

“The system we have been using hasn’t been used in the industry for over 25 years,” Ms Vaughn told News Of The Area.

Whilst volunteers and announcers have done their best with the current

equipment Ms Vaughn knows it is high time to give them experience with current, state of the art, industry standard equipment.

“We need to give our volunteer announcers real-life experience and opportunities in proper studios.

“The new broadcast playout system is the Zetta system from RCS Australia – the same radio communication system used in commercial radio right across the country as well as many commercial regional and metropolitan community stations,” she said.

“This will enable on-air volunteers the same experience and opportunities as their metropolitan and regional counterparts as well as students graduating from radio courses at Australian Film Television and Radio School.

Many people will remember Dave behind a BBQ with a stubby in one hand and tongs in the other, driving to the headland in his Pajero or sitting at the RSL drinking a bruiser watching the Sharkies play.

“With the upgrade to a fully digital system, 104.1 CHY FM will also be more visible and audible throughout the community, including more outside broadcasts and specialist programming,” said Ms Vaughn.

“This is a very exciting and long overdue upgrade, and we are so grateful to the Community Broadcasting Foundation for their belief in the station, our vision for the future and the Coffs community, which will hugely benefit from this grant funding and upgrade project.”

According to Ms Vaughn the news is only one of several exciting announcements for the station this year.

“There’s more big, exciting news still to come because 2021 is the year for 104.1,” she said.

Mentoring Program for tourism operators

By Andrea FERRARI

DESTINATION North Coast (DNC) is hosting an information and networking event in Coffs Harbour on 27 July, educating attendees on its new Business Accelerator and Mentoring Program for tourism businesses.

“The Business Accelerator and Mentoring Program received grant funding from the Australia

Government under the Recovery for Regional Tourism program, an initiative of the $1 billion Covid-19 Relief and Recovery Fund,” Sarah Elphinstone, Project Manager told News Of The Area.

“The two-hour information event is for local tourism businesses to find out how the program works, what it offers them

q Tourism hot spot - Skywalk lookout at Dorrigo Rainforest Centre.

ACCORDING to Kim Towner, sustainable businesses have a feeling for their community and a feeling for their team.

Kim is well known in Coffs Harbour as the owner of The Happy Frog and the impetus behind the Harbourside Markets.

She said, “If you’re concerned about sustainability, climate change, a fairer world, you need a social conscience.”

Kim recently joined Julie O’Donnell from Let Them Play Toys, Peter Richardson from Faircloth and Reynolds, Nathan Begley from Upstream Energy and Richie Dolan from the The Hilltop Store at

the second Festival of New Thinking symposium, run by 6 Degrees, an initiative of the Coffs Harbour City Council.

Titled ‘Sustainability is (Im)Possible’, the evening featured the local business representatives on a discussion panel and a keynote talk from Alicia Cameron, business owner and founder of Plastic Free Port Stephens.

Each business representative highlighted slightly different aspects of sustainability.

For Ms Towner, it is about buying from local producers, for Ms O’Donnell, using renewable materials, for Mr Richardson, recycling, for Mr Begley renewable energy

and for Mr Dolan, minimising waste.

Julie O’Donnel of Let Them Play Toys shared that she began to make toys that connect children with nature from branches trimmed from trees around Coffs Harbour.

She and her husband, Steve, make ‘tree people’, which all are different, to reflect that we are all unique and none of us are perfect.

She stressed that her ethos is not about what she is selling, but why.

Peter Richardson of Faircloth and Reynolds told the audience that the refrigeration, air conditioning and catering equipment specialists had been recycling for more than a decade.

The program is designed to support individual businesses through dedicated one-on-one mentoring and flexible group learning options.

Benefits include pathway learning with the flexibility of working on key areas or concerns in the business; up to seven hours of one-on-one mentoring support including faceto-face and via phone or Zoom call; flexible hours for mentoring sessions to work around running the

business; and online group Webinar series.

Program resources and guidance are provided.

Peer support will be accessible through a dedicated Facebook Group.

This program has been developed and will be run by business and tourism mentors, Sparrowly Group.

Sparrowly is committed to realistic, workable outcomes and supports applicants with ongoing sessions throughout the duration of the program.

The program is free of charge and fully funded by The Australian Government and Destination North Coast.

All tourism businesses on the North Coast are encouraged to attend this Program Launch Event and to consider applying to this program to advance their business to the next level.

For information contact Sarah Elphinstone at Destination North Coast on sarah.elphinstone@dncnsw. com or call 0410 448 570.

He said that only 10% of old systems can’t be recycled, but the company is aiming for 100%.

He also talked about energy-efficient appliances often being more expensive initially, but that they are cheaper in the long run.

Richie Dolan from The Hilltop Store discussed food waste in the hospitality industry.

He said that it cost more, initially, to be sustainable, but cost could be decreased with experience.

After spending time building relationships locally with suppliers, he buys whole animals and uses all of them.

revenue for businesses, not an expense item on balance sheets.

Alicia Cameron talked about her journey as a business owner and founder of Plastic Free Port Stephens.

She shared that she realised, after returning from a trip to Africa that “We have so much stuff!”

She said that being in business from her early 20’s, her focus was on making money, but now her approach is about giving.

A quote from Robert Swan motivated her to move into the non-profit space, ‘The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it’.

She said that she initially participated in clean ups with other organisations but she wanted to be proactive rather than reactive.

Ms Cameron said that Plastic Free Port Stephens began with fifteen people and has grown to a community non-profit with 800 people.

Her organisation is involved in projects such as ‘Port Stephens’ branded aluminium drink bottles, encouraging the use of ‘keep’ coffee cups, Planet Warrior’s Plastic Pollution Education program for primary school students and the elimination of single-use food packaging from schools, businesses, and events.

She talked about “Little steps, big impact” and the need for the community to seek partnerships with likeminded organisations.

q Putting 2,293.25mm of rainfall in perspective.

Dorrigo recorded 2,452.1mm (96.5 inches) between July 2020 and June 2021.

Eight kilometres west of Dorrigo at Fernbrook, Rory Birt recorded 2,293.25mm (90.29 inches) with 0.25mm or more of rain falling on 175 days out of the year, on the edge of the escarpment, and a further 6.5 kilometres west Julie and Michael Moore recorded an exceptional 3,064.5mm (120.6 inches) at their dairy.

A Licensed Real Estate & Stock and Station Agent with Ray White Rural Dorrigo and Bellingen, Rory said, “Selling rural properties from around Ebor, across the Plateau and Dorrigo, around Bellingen and to the coast, with the rainfall the area is known for, it is something we are asked on a daily basis and interests people so I keep records and get figures from wherever I can.”

Never short of a rainbow up on the Dorrigo Plateau.

New Ratepayers Association Formed COFFS Harbour is home to many people who are taking action to make their community and planet a better place.

They include people protesting about logging and climate change, people helping the homeless (and others) and some who are running for political office.

The Coffs Harbour LGA Residents and Ratepayers Association is a recent addition and has been formed to monitor the longterm interests of those who live in the Coffs Harbour City Council local government area.

The Association hopes to facilitate community representation and engagement with government agencies, private enterprise and other community organisations to achieve a balance between

negatively impact the stunning environment we are privileged to live in,” she said.

The Association will be holding a series of public forums to enable the community to engage with prospective Coffs Harbour City Council candidates in the weeks leading up to the Local Government elections.

Two forums are planned for Coffs harbour and others each in Coramba ,Woolgoolga and Sawtell.

The forums will be spread over four weeks so that everyone will have an opportunity to attend at least one.

All candidates who register by the closing date for nominations on 5 August will be invited to participate in the forums.

Residents and ratepayers who would like more information, or would like to become involved, or have skills to offer can follow the Association’s Facebook page or/and email chlgarra.inc@gmail.com.

Community interest has been high at the Association’s stall at the Jetty Markets each Sunday.

The President of the Association, Ann Leonard, said that one of the issues facing Coffs Harbour is apparent inconsistency in decision making.

She said, “We are committed to speaking for and on behalf of our members on matters such as the Jetty Foreshore, the Cultural and Civic Space, the development of satisfactory Waste Services management, maintenance of our roads and other infrastructure, along with the impact the construction of the bypass will have on the day to day life of our residents.

THE end of the financial year usually means a lot of paperwork, but for mountain resident Rory Birt from Dorrigo it included a final tot-up of rainfall in the region.

"Our rainfall numbers here are quite remarkable and the photo of me standing on the chair was a way to put them in perspective while highlighting the beauty and uniqueness of our region," Rory told News Of The Area.

The eastern fall of the Great Dividing Range, the Dorrigo Plateau, is officially one of the highest rainfall regions in the country.

The rainfall defines the area with the Gondwana rainforests of the Dorrigo

National Park plus some of the most productive farmland in the country.

Recent years have seen lower than average rainfall and widespread drought, and although the Dorrigo Plateau fared better than many areas in this regard, it too was down on long-term averages by about 50% at its worst.

“Fortunately missing out on some of the heavier falls and the March floods that coastal areas experienced earlier in the year, the plateau has experienced consistent rainfall which has seen figures for the 202021 financial year back to or exceeding long term averages, which are around 80 inches in town and 100 or more one the escarpment.”

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Sham marriage and unconscionable dealings claim DAVID and his first wife migrated to Sydney with their children in the 1970s.

David is poorly educated and has a very limited grasp of the English language.

When David’s first wife passes-away in 2012, Penny moves into his home.

One year later, David and Penny are married and a short time later, David transfers the matrimonial home into their joint names.

David also appoints Penny as his Power of Attorney.

In 2015, David and Penny separate and the house is transferred into Penny’s name, pursuant to a Binding Financial Agreement in anticipation of their divorce.

Penny soon sells the property for $1 million.

When David passes away, his children become aware of the dealings in relation to David’s home.

The children commence action against Penny, claiming that the marriage was a sham and that David did not have the capacity to understand the nature of the Binding Financial Agreement nor any of the transactions regarding the property.

The children also commence action against the family law practitioner and the conveyancer that were involved in the transactions.

After reviewing the medical evidence, the Court finds that at the time of his marriage to Penny, David was elderly and suffering from cognitive impairment.

The marriage is declared void.

The Court also concludes that David did not have the capacity to enter into any of the transactions regarding his home.

The Court rules that the transactions are “unconscionable dealings” and that Penny holds the proceeds of sale on trust, to be repaid to David’s estate. She is also ordered to pay court costs.

The children settle their claims against the family lawyer and the conveyancer for considerable sums.

DEAR News Of The Area, THE upcoming local council elections are a farcical system where someone could nominate, stand, receive not one single vote and still win a seat on council.

As an example Jack can nominate for a mayoral position with Jill as number two on his ticket.

As a fall back he is still standing for councillor if he misses out on the top job.

But if he gets Mayor his councillor votes are allocated to Jill his number two on his ticket.

Mrs Katherine L. Dear Katherine,

Hogbin Drive link road to new Enterprise Park DEAR News Of The Area,

AFTER many months of work on the new link road from Hogbin Drive to the Enterprise Park it is evident that the alterations are nearly

complete.

Now that the layout is visible, is it just me or does the new road into the Enterprise Park appear to be relatively narrow and acute, especially as there

will be numerous trucks, of varying sizes, attempting to gain entry at this point?

What do others think ?

Regards, Barry BUTLER. Toormina.

Why stifle knowledge?

DEAR News Of The Area,

I SEE yet another poll has been put out there, this time to prevent the sale of the council buildings (Editor’s note - the poll was posted on the Coffs Coast Outlook Facebook page on July 12, on behalf of a Coffs Coast Outlook reader).

I fail to understand the rationale behind this poll, not only because it was made plain at the outset that the sale of council buildings was part of the plan to fund the Cultural and Civic Space,

but because the building has begun and will continue regardless of any poll that seeks to undermine the project.

Why any group of people led by retirees with a wish to remain relevant would seek to stifle knowledge of our history, not to mention preventing the younger generations from having the advantage of an improved library attached to a proper art gallery is beyond my understanding.

I am beginning to wish the Mayor's name were

An Undemocratic Voting Structure vote, but is elected, denying a more popular candidate from being elected.

Without our local rag, Bellingen Shire now apart from self promotional propaganda is a closed shop to its constituents. Gone are the days when inside and outside staff were as one, mixed and socialised.

Today the majority of the outdoor staff haven't a clue who their indoor masters are and vice versa.

We have a green Council whose chief agenda is koalas and shutting down the timber industry, and promoting tourism which is choking the life out of Bellingen and attracting all those cashed up yuppies making the place

CLEARLY you have made your home too welcoming.

Do you have the smell of baking bread and freshly-ground coffee wafting through the door?

Is there a sun-filled deck with a wicker lounge and plump pillows, just perfect for lounging away the morning?

Do you have French Doors, always open to let in the morning breeze and people without a clue as to basic social etiquette?

I feel maybe you should take the approach of our Premier and implement an immediate lockdown.

Perhaps put a QR code on the front door and a sign that says no more than four people at a time for health and safety reasons (that basically excludes everyone except your immediate family).

Have a sign at the front driveway alerting people that only essential services are permitted.

At the rate greater Sydney is going, it won't be long, unfortunately, before we are also once again in lockdown and then your desire to have no impromptu visitors will be mandated (don't listen to the wacko lizard people flogging juice cleanses), the government can and will do everything it can to make our community safe, even if others feel it their personal right to roam, maskless, and clueless.

Draft Telecommunication Tower Policy on display

By Emma DARBIN

THE community can now comment on a draft Council policy on the placement of telecommunications towers in the Coffs Harbour region.

The draft policy outlines Coffs Harbour City Council’s expectations for appropriately sited and designed telecommunications facilities and provides guidance to Council staff assessing development applications for telecommunications facilities.

The aim of the policy is to facilitate improved telecommunications services in the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area whilst avoiding or minimising

adverse impacts on the community, Council operations, owners or users of land surrounding telecommunications facilities, visual and scenic amenity, the natural environment and cultural values.

“Where possible, new infrastructure is to be located within business and industrial zones,” the draft policy states.

Coffs Harbour City councillors have affirmed their opposition to the placement of Optus and Telstra telecommunications towers within 500 metres of child care centres, schools and other educational institutions at recent Council meetings.

A 25 metre high Optus telecommunications tower was recently approved by Council at Advocate Park, Coffs Harbour, to service the nearby Coffs Harbour Education Campus (CHEC).

A telecommunications tower has previously been placed along Beach Street, Woolgoolga, just down the road from Woolgoolga Public School.

The draft Provision of Telecommunications Infrastructure Policy is now on public exhibition on Council’s Have Your Say section of its website at https://haveyoursay. coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/ and comments can be made on the new policy until Friday 6 August.

Businesses warned about email cybercrime BUSINESSES and individuals are urged to be alert to the threat of Business Email Compromise (BEC), as

many organisations return to remote working due to recent COVID restrictions.

BEC is a fraud technique used by offenders to

redirect legitimate fund transfers to alternative accounts.

Most commonly, offenders will intercept

legitimate emails or invoices from known transaction partners and change banking details to include fraudulent payment information.

The victim will then unsuspectingly transfer funds to the offender.

BEC often goes unnoticed until the intended recipient of the funds enquires about the missing payment, or the victim becomes aware that the funds have been deposited incorrectly.

According to the Australian Federal Police (AFP), BEC is a persistent threat worldwide and in Australia the impact of

OPINION & LETTERS

BEC scams on victims is significant, with financial losses totalling more than $79 million in the past 12 months.

The AFP and its law enforcement partners formed a BEC taskforce in January 2020 to respond to the threat.

The taskforce’s objective is to coordinate a national effort to prevent BEC scams and disrupt associated cyber-criminal syndicates.

AFP Commander Cybercrime Operations Chris Goldsmid said anyone can be a victim of BEC, with cyber-criminals using sophisticated techniques to trick their targets.

“Don’t be embarrassed if you fall victim, report it immediately to your bank and the police to give us the best chance of recovering your money,” Commander Goldsmid said.

“If you are transferring money online do your due diligence, ensure you are comfortable that you are sending the money to the correct person and account.

“If you think an email is suspicious, make further enquiries. Call and check directly with the business or organisation you are dealing with.”

Over the past twelve months, more than 3,300 incidents of BEC have been reported to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) through its Report Cyber portal, with nearly half of those scams resulting in financial loss.

The AFP and its taskforce partners have managed to prevent $8.45 million from being lost from the community under these frauds for the 2020/21 financial year.

Further information on how to protect yourself and your business from BEC can be found at cyber.gov.au and the ACSC.

Garden was finalised following wide consultations across multiple groups of Council, the Friends of the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden Inc. and the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden (NCRBG) Advisory Committee.

After being reviewed

by Council the Draft Plan is to be forwarded to the Division of Crown Lands – the landowner of the Botanic Garden - within the NSW Government’s Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) for

approval to go on public exhibition.

Following consent from DPIE, the Draft will then be put out for wider public consultation and feedback.

The resulting Plan of Management will be finalised after the consultation period.

Once the final Plan of Management is approved, Council staff will also undertake an exploration of the cultural heritage values of the Garden, using appropriate expertise, within three years of the adoption of the Plan.

Council Column - City’s Botanic Garden Set to Bloom with Future Management Plan

By Coffs Harbour City Council

THE North Coast Regional Botanic Garden – an oasis of serene natural beauty, scientific research and popular event space on the doorstep of the city centre – now has a new Draft Plan of Management to take it forward into the future.

Formally established in 1980 following the hard work of a group of interested and expert local residents who saw its potential as a Botanic Garden during a

Friday, 16 July, 2021

canoe trip on Coffs Creek, the ensuing decades have seen many thousands of volunteer hours given to developing the Garden by the Friends of the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden (NCRBG), Coffs Harbour community groups and many individuals.

In particular, the dedication and support of Alex Floyd OAM, Life Member of the Friends of the NCRBG was significant.

His involvement started with the Ulitarra Society canoe trip that began the

Botanic Garden journey and has continued to the present day.

In 2008, his work for the Garden was recognised nationally with his Medal of the Order of Australia.

“The Botanic Garden is a hugely important part of the city of Coffs Harbour for locals and visitors alike.

“It’s rare for a regional city to be able to boast of such a long-established, beautiful and varied Botanic Garden at its heart,” said Coffs Harbour Mayor, Councillor Denise Knight.

“I’m delighted that the Friends of the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden, and the many other volunteers who lavish such care on this oasis, are happy with the proposed Plan of Management.

“Their work and dedication has been visionary and it’s fantastic that they will continue to play a significant role in the Garden’s future growth and development.”

Urunga Art Space shows the Big Chill

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Big Chill is a winterthemed exhibition at the Urunga Art Space featuring fourteen local artists.

The exhibition includes,

amongst others, works by Jeremy Barrett, Leesa White, Sally Hook and Scott and Robyn Jackson.

With the themed shows a committee is formed which then chooses the artists who

are selected according to who they best complement to produce a stimulating exhibition.

“We have over 100 members, so we try to give everyone of a suitable standard an opportunity to exhibit in these ‘curated’

exhibitions, allowing them more scope to show their work beyond the member shows, where the number of pieces is limited,” Chris Wilson, Urunga Art Space, told News Of The Area.

Also on display will be the original paintings and ‘transitional pieces’ for the new Urunga mural, currently being completed

by David Southgate and David Bromley, along the side of Urunga Foodworks supermarket.

The wall is being transformed into a

“Trompe l’oeil effects are going to give an interesting appearance of aged splendour,” David Bromley told News Of The Area.

“Visitors today will find windows to a cellar have appeared on the lower part of the wall and eventually there will be interesting things to find in the cellar’s gloomy interior.

“There may even be a dragon visible down there.”

An added feature on the finished wall will be posters in frames with various images of the Bellingen

Shire area which will feature local events and places; the images will be updated accordingly.

“They will have a wry humour and also some surprises.”

The public, and particularly visitors to the town, will be able to buy copies of the images in the Art Space and in local shops.

David Bromley had his eye on this Foodworks site for a long time.

He and David Southgate put a proposal to Steve Allen, the owner of the building who liked the idea, which resulted in funding through a grant.

Lawyers Back Uluru Statement

By Sandra MOON

THE LAW Society of NSW and the NSW Young Lawyers have issued a joint policy statement calling on the Commonwealth Parliament to urgently set a timetable for a referendum on the implementation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

The joint policy statement was launched at a Law Society event celebrating NAIDOC Week with Professor Megan Davis, Pro ViceChancellor Indigenous and Professor of Law at UNSW, and one of the architects of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

The joint statement says that “Implementation of the Uluru Statement is crucial for empowering First Nations People to exercise their inalienable right to selfdetermination”.

President of the Law Society of NSW, Juliana Warner said the Law Society of NSW and NSW Young Lawyers fully support the implementation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Both the Law Society of NSW and the NSW Young Lawyers fully support the Uluru Statement from The Heart, call for a First Nations Voice to Parliament to be constitutionally protected and support the establishment of a Makaratta Commission to be established to supervise agreement-making and truth-telling.

Made in Dorrigo Markets a bustling success

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Made in Dorrigo Market brought a bustle to the mountain town on Saturday July 10 with stalls of locally homemade delicacies, plants and knits along with delicious hot food and live music.

“We’ve had a few false starts with covid and landslides, there’s not been a

full market in twelve months,” market organiser Kerryn Gilson told News Of The Area.

“In conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce, the goal of the market is to bring people to the town and share in our homemade fare.”

There was a windy chill on the sunny day, bringing visitors queuing at the Wellstein Cheese stall for hot

Dorrigo potatoes topped with melted cheese.

“We’re using raclette cheese which melts easily and has a strong flavour, local potatoes and pepper,” said cofounder Jess.

“We’re overwhelmed with the positive feedback which is very encouraging as we embark on our Kick-Starter journey to fund the first step

“Implementation of the Uluru Statement will be the way to walk a different path with First Nations People and will assist in addressing the outstanding injustices which impact on the lives of First Nations People such as their over representation in the criminal justice system and the gap in life outcomes between First Nations people and other Australians,” Mr Bruck said.

“A Voice to Parliament will be an important step towards self-determination for First Nations People,” he said.

Co-President of the Clarence River & Coffs Harbour Law Society, Cassandra Banks, has welcomed the joint statement.

“As lawyers, we have a role, a responsibility to ensure access to justice, to respect and uphold the rule of law and to ensure the law protects our most vulnerable Australians,” Ms Banks said.

“As lawyers, we can work together to ensure that the laws of our land operate fairly and promote the rights of First Nations People and give them a voice in the laws and policies that are made about them,” she said.

“The NSW legal profession makes up more than 43% of Australia’s lawyers – collectively, we have a strong voice and we can and should use our voice to support the Uluru Statement from the Heart.”

“Once people try my pastries they come back; it gives me good satisfaction to see them smile,” said Sara.

“I cooked all night for today’s market, it’s my passion; I want to develop my business here.”

Callout for more Carers

By Sandra MOON

FOSTER care agency Uniting is calling out for carers to support young persons and children as short term respite carers.

Currently in NSW there are over sixteen thousand children in the foster care system and not enough carers to keep up.

Children entering the foster care system are likely to move to over ten locations throughout their time in care, making it difficult to form lasting and meaningful connections.

This is something that first drove Coffs Harbour couple Helen and David to become foster carers.

Helen, originally from Ireland, is a former teacher and lives with her husband, David, an Indigenous Australian who is passionate about ensuring that young Indigenous children can connect with Country and their culture.

Helen spoke with News of The Area, “All children

deserve to grow up and develop with as close to the same opportunities as each other.”

Helen and David have now been fostering the same child for six and a half years, and she is as much a part of the family as their own biological son.

“When we started fostering her, we started to realise your job isn't just supporting this wonderful young person.

“It is helping to foster a connection with her whole family and community.

"We knew from the start that there were siblings too.

“Building a close family relationship between our household and theirs wasn't a question, it immediately became a priority to see them,” Helen said.

Helen now calls the other carers in their child's extended family the closest thing to siblings that Helen has in Australia.

According to the couple, being able to share special times with her foster child's

birth parents, siblings and her own family is a key part of their foster child's upbringing.

Sometimes that might mean three different Christmases, a picnic for ten and trips across town to see each other.

But, everyone knows that any sacrifice that may involve is worth making to help young people mature, grow and flourish.

“My whole family had to be a part of this decision to foster,” David said.

“It has led us down a wonderful path where we have grown in our empathy and understanding for how to support each other.

"If you don't feel part of a team, you can get lost and feel isolated.

“But at the end of the day, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing your effort, and the efforts of your team, result in a happy and confident girl thriving in front of you.”

With the recent announcement in the state

Club volunteers removed around 250 kilograms of waste from multiple sites along the fire trail network within their permit area, with Forestry Corporation covering the waste disposal charges.

Coffs Harbour Mountain Bike Club President Mick Strazzari said it was disappointing to see the accumulation of illegally dumped rubbish in the forest and said Club members

were passionate about monitoring the forest around the mountain bike tracks for signs of illegal dumping.

Club members collected car tyres, mattresses, used nappies and general domestic rubbish from around the fire trails in the club’s permit area in Pine Creek State Forest.

Forestry Corporation of NSW’s Partnerships Leader Ryan Ellis said that Forestry Corporation regularly partners with

Mountain Bikers Clean Up Rubbish

By Andrew VIVIAN COFFS Harbour Mountain Bike Club members recently spent several hours cleaning up rubbish dumped in the Pine Creek State Forest.

Damp conditions were too wet for riding so Club members made the most of the conditions to conduct maintenance work and clean up areas subjected to illegal dumping of household and domestic waste.

He said that the mountain bike tracks in Pine Creek State Forest are popular with locals and visitors to the area and the club does a fantastic job at maintaining the site.

regular periods, while a child is in a regular placement.

Also known as respite, a carer fosters for a brief time, with the aim of expanding a young person's support network, or 'team'.

Without support from

short-term carers, many long term carers feel overwhelmed and that can lead to the breakdown of placements.

This then pushes more kids back into the system and continues a cycle of disadvantage.

Strazzari said, “The Club spends a considerable amount of time and energy keeping the trails maintained and manages the site under a Forest Permit through Forestry Corporation, which includes rights and responsibilities for looking after the site.

“We hope other forest users will work with the club to maintain vigilance against illegal activities and to support approved singletrack riding in the forest,” he said.

During the clean-up work, evidence was collected, which included a credit card and provided to authorities

to investigate.

“We welcome all mountain bikers and other forest users who enjoy the area but if our members witness dumping in the area we will be reporting it,” Mr Strazzari said.

He told News Of The Area that while a number of people cite high waste disposal fees as a reason for dumping, there are no excuses.

Anyone noticing incidences of illegal dumping are asked to note any relevant details and report via the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s (EPA) online reporting tool RIDONLINE at ridonline.epa.nsw.gov.au.

$1.23m share of mandatory rebates for Ordinary rates and water and sewer charges – a total of $1.866m,” Coffs Harbour Mayor Cr Denise Knight said.

“The voluntary Domestic Waste charge rebate works out to around $530,000 and the Environmental Levy at $126,000.

“Pensioners who are eligible for the voluntary rebates will again benefit enormously from this measure, with an average cut of about $87.50 per year on the amount they pay for the Domestic Waste charge alone, plus $23.53 on the Environmental Levy.”

Mayor Knight said this means that the average pensioner will get a reduction of around $500 off their rates bill – $111 of which is made

up of Council’s voluntary contributions.

All NSW councils are obliged to provide a mandatory 50% rebate to eligible pensioners for certain rates and charges, up to a maximum cap of $250 in total.

But in most instances, the cap means pensioners would not receive any rebate on their Domestic Waste charges and/or the Environmental Levy.

As a result, Council has been providing voluntary pensioner rate rebates for these costs since 1997.

Council also has a Financial Hardship Policy for ratepayers who may be facing financial hardship and are struggling with the payment of their rates, charges and fees, with individual cases of financial hardship assessed based on merit.

ELIGIBLE pensioners are set to receive a share of more than $1.8 million in rate rebates after Coffs Harbour City Council resolved to provide voluntary reductions on Domestic Waste charges and the Environmental Levy for 2021-2022.

Under the Local Government Act, Council must grant a mandatory rebate to eligible penionsers for rates and charges.

Council is then reimbursed by subsidy payment for a proportion of the amount rebated.

MIDSOMER MURDERS

ABC, 8.30pm

Wacky murders in a beautiful, small country town – what’s not to love about Midsomer Murders? Returning tonight with its 22nd season – and lead actor Neil Dudgeon (above right) in his 10th year as DCI John Barnaby – this well-written, atmospheric and often humorous murder mystery series has spawned many copycats, but none compare to the original. Back with four movie-length episodes, the veteran series kicks off with “The Wolf Hunter of Little Worthy”, a fresh and engaging thriller which will delight new and old fans alike. Barnaby and DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix, above left) investigate a murder linked to local myth involving a creature that is half-man and half-wolf.

It’s the age-old question: Do brains or brawn get you further? Tonight, Australian Survivor returns with its eighth season, pitting the intelligent against the strong.

It’s an entertaining theme, but audiences will be hungry to read between the lines and find the colour in the supposedly black-andwhite situation. Someone will prove to have the brains and brawn to conquer the competition, but it will undoubtedly involve copious amounts of sweat and tears. Filmed in Queensland, the contestants include AFL legend Gavin Wanganeen, along with glamorous big wave surfer Flick Palmateer, prison officer Dani and children’s author Wai. Hosted by Jonathan LaPaglia (right).

Tonight, journalist and TV personality Chris Bath takes a tour through her family’s past. She sets out to discover if an enigmatic Spanish governess was part of her mother’s family. She also heads to country NSW, where she is shocked to uncover German ancestry.

Myanmar farmers form Agricultural Cooperative

By Andrea FERRARI

FIVE members of Coffs Harbour Myanmar refugee community have achieved the first step to becoming business owners with their successful registration as a not-for-profit organisation under NSW Fair Trading.

The five farmers are now officially the Myanmar

Community Agricultural Cooperative.

Having worked in consultation with Settlement Services International (SSI) in 2019, the group learned of SSI’s Ignite Small Business Start-ups program, which is funded by Lendlease in Coffs Harbour.

Connecting to land was the main desire expressed by

the group in the consultation.

Rebecca Mordaunt, Ignite Facilitator, told News Of The Area, “The Myanmar community members were keen to access land on which to work, using their agricultural background.

“Ignite began by connecting the farmers to an expert local resource team to fulfil the registration process

project.

“It has been incredible to witness the growth in confidence and self-belief of the change makers in the program and demonstrates the importance of providing opportunities for young people to have their say in how they want to take action,” Kathleen Hannah, Tomorrow's Change Makers Coordinator told News Of The Area.

It’s an opportunity for youth who are passionate about the environment and are ready to take the next step in organising or creating an environmentally focussed event or product.

The unique design of the program provides space for young people to direct and drive their own inspired project, overcoming hurdles that can come up along the way and seeing their project through to fruition.

Initially, the group explore ideas, passions and interests to develop their

own community project.

Mentors then move into a supportive role working with the young people to plan and deliver their project.

Tomorrow’s Change Makers is a free program, funded by the Department of Communities and Justice and has previously supported young people to develop and brand their own handcrafted candles to raise awareness and funds for bees, organising a Community Picnic to raise awareness about the importance of sustainability and

Saltwater Freshwater Receives Funding Boost

By Sandra MOON

THE local economy and Indigenous talent in Gumbaynggirr, Dunghutti, Biripi and Worimi nations will benefit from an announcement that the Saltwater Freshwater (SWFW) Arts Alliance Aboriginal Corporation has secured $100,000 from the NSW Government’s 2020-21 Arts and Cultural Funding Program.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the 2021 SWFW annual program of activities and events will

deliver arts and cultural projects on Gumbaynggirr, Dunghutti, Biripi and Worimi country.

“Projects include culture camps, weaving, Made Deadly, and the SWFW Art Book.

“These will promote skills development, maintenance and preservation of traditional practices, enabling intergenerational knowledge transfer from Elders to youth,” Mr Singh said.

“This funding - announced during NAIDOC week - is a massive win for our region, delivering significant benefits for arts, culture and

creativity,” he said.

“Local talent continues to step into the spotlight, thanks to this targeted arts and culture funding from the NSW Government.”

Minister for the Arts Don Harwin said the NSW Government’s Arts and Cultural Funding Program 2020-21 will support the state’s talented artists, workers and organisations and deliver strong arts and cultural outcomes for audiences.

The funding comes at a time when the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Bruce Billson is encouraging Australians to support

Indigenous businesses and to recognise the Indigenous business sector as one of the fastest growing in Australia.

Data from the University of Melbourne has revealed Indigenous businesses’ contribution to the economy has more than doubled.

“This new research shows how critical the Indigenous business sector is to the national economy,” Mr Billson said..

“In the 12 years to 2018, the sector saw a 115% lift in gross income to $4.88 billion and that is expected to continue to grow.

“The same period saw a 74% increase in the number of businesses operating in the Indigenous business sector

Get earthy on National Tree Day

By Andrea FERRARI

SEEDS are being sown for a nostalgic theme in the run-up to Australia’s 25th Schools Tree Day on 30 July and National Tree Day on 1 August, the country’s largest annual tree planting and nature care events, organised

by Planet Ark. “This year we celebrate a quarter century of planting trees, so we decided to run a new idea called #ThrowbackTreeday,” Liam q

Taylor from Planet Ark Environmental Foundation told News Of The Area.

“For this we are encouraging past participants to post a photo of them at a previous National Tree Day event (or just out enjoying nature) with a more recent photo of them still enjoying what the great outdoors has to offer.

“Overall we encourage all Australians to get outside and planting trees this National Tree Day wherever it is safe

The pleasure of planting

to do so.”

National Tree Day is a call to action for all Australians to put their hands in the earth and give back to their local community and environment.

At Planet Ark we believe that by fostering a more intimate connection with nature, humanity will be inspired to act in its best interests.

“National Tree Day provides an opportunity for Australians to venture outdoors, do something good for the environment, get to know their community and nurture that positive connection,” said Liam.

with more than 45,000 jobs created,” he said.

“Interestingly, the Indigenous business sector is made up of mostly small businesses with an average of 14 employees and average gross income of $1.6 million.

“That’s well above the non-Indigenous business average of $400,000 in gross income and two staff members.

“We know every dollar spent with an Indigenous business goes a long way.

According to Supply Nation for every $1 of revenue, certified Indigenous suppliers generate $4.41 of social return.

Mr Billson said, “In fact, Indigenous businesses are

100 times more likely to employ other Indigenous staff according to Supply Nation, which is why procuring from Indigenous businesses is an investment in both Indigenous employment and economic development more broadly.

“While Indigenous businesses provide services across a range of industries, there are a number that have been hit hard by the pandemic, such as those businesses relying on the tourist trade.

“It’s especially important that we support these businesses as much as possible as they work to recover from this challenging period.”

“It might be surprising, but research shows hugging a tree has similar positive benefits to hugging someone you love.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

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.
