By Brad GREENSHIELDS THE demolition of a house on Bruxner Park Rd will be the first step toward the construction of the long awaited Coffs Harbour Bypass.

This first piece of work is necessary to make way for a new fire brigade station, replacing the Solitary RFB’s current home at Korora which will need to be replaced due to its proximity to the Korora Hill Interchange at the northern end of the bypass.

The announcement was made on Wednesday morning as the first sod was turned on the $1.8 billion project.

Local Federal Member Pat Conaghan and State Member Gurmesh Singh were the first to dig shovels into the ground to signal the beginning of work alongside Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro and NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole.

The Deputy Premier said the Coffs Harbour Bypass is all about the

NEXT year’s highly anticipated Coffs Harbour Local Government Elections will be undertaken in person, following a recent ruling by NSW Local Government Minister Shelley Hancock and a resolution by Coffs Harbour City Council.

On 17 November, Minister Hancock advised NSW Councils that the 4 September 2021 Local Government elections will be held using full attendance voting.

Following the postponement of the September 2020 Local Government elections, discussions were held with NSW Councils on election delivery options, including mandatory postal voting.

Following the discussions, NSW Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock instructed the NSW Electoral Commissioner to prepare for full attendance voting at the 2021 local government elections.

The Minister advised that if COVID-19 is still impacting communities next year, the cost of holding full attendance elections will increase to meet a substantial rise in the electoral staff and polling booths needed to comply with physical distancing and sanitising requirements.

2020 Coffs Orphans Christmas

By Ange ANDERSON and Debbie LEANEY

COVID-19 has thrown a curve ball to the world in 2020 but we can thank Good Price at the Bailey Centre for their continued major sponsorship to allow the 14year tradition of the Orphans Christmas community spirit to live on, albeit in a different format!

Organisers Debbie Leaney and Ange Anderson have decided the 2020 Covid-19 obstacle is too unsafe and a mammoth task to run the usual event whilst keeping our valued community members safe.

However, Deb and Ange are still committed to help members of the community in need.

We invite any member of our Coffs community doing it

tough or alone to register for meal packs.

To assist us with numbers, it is necessary to register at the Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, in person at 22 Earl St Coffs Harbour or by phone on (02) 6648 3694.

Meals on Wheels, part of the Coffs Harbour Community Centre, is a hub for the local homeless community and people in need and is the perfect location to distribute “Meal Packs” as a small gesture to help brighten up people’s Christmas Day. Each Meal Pack will contain a main meal, bun, drink and dessert.

Collection will be on Christmas Eve, Thursday 24 December at the Meals On Wheels office, Community Village, 22 Earl Street, Coffs

Harbour between 4.30pm until 6:30pm only.

Please note a COVID safety plan will be in place and registered persons will be served first.

If any businesses or members of the public would like to sponsor the Meal Packs with financial support via Woolworths or Coles gift cards, please contact Deb Leaney (0407 935 199) or Ange Anderson (0434 080 174) to make arrangements.

We would like to thank our past sponsors and look forward to your support.

Due to Covid-19, restrictions and the event not being held in the usual format, we do not require the assistance of past volunteers this year.

Enjoy your Christmas and we look forward to your involvement next year.

Mr Barilaro said.

“You are going to save 12 minutes of your travel time when the bypass is completed but most importantly 12 sets of traffic lights are going to be cut out.”

State Member for

Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh paid tribute to his predecessor Andrew Fraser for the passion he put into the project over many years.

Mr Singh also thanked his party’s leaders for ensuring the project came with three tunnels, instead of cuttings which were on the original design.

“I want to thank Michael McCormack and John Barilaro for giving us these tunnels and for throwing their support behind the tunnels here in Coffs Harbour,” Mr Singh said.

“It added a significant amount of money to the project but Coffs Harbour deserves the best and we’ve got the best.”

The Minister for Regional Transport and Roads said

the project is expected to take five years to complete.

He added Mr Singh should take a deserved slice of credit as well for the project getting to the start line.

“I’m sick and tired of Gurmesh Singh coming to my office and my door,” Mr Toole said jokingly.

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said the beginning of work is a moment of celebration for Coffs Harbour.

Council continues bid for employment land at North Boambee

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City Council is continuing with its intention to house future Employment Lands in the North Boambee Valley West and South Bonville areas, despite the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s refusal to approve these areas as employment lands.

Employment lands relates to industrial or business zoned land.

Council at its meeting on 8 October resolved to adopt the Coffs Harbour Local Growth Management Strategy-Chapter 8 Employment Lands (subject to retaining the North Boambee Valley West Investigation Area within Chapter 8) and Chapter 9 Resources, and to seek endorsement for Chapter 8 Employment Lands from the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE).

The NSW DPIE provided their conditional approval on 27 October, however the proposed North Boambee Valley West Investigation Area and South Bonville Investigation Area were not approved by the DPIE. The North Boambee West Investigation Area was not approved due to the range and significance of the environmental constraints found in the area, and the potential South Bonville employment investigation area post 2040 was not approved as it was deemed inconsistent with the North Coast Regional Plan 2036.

The Employment Lands Chapter of the Coffs Harbour Local Growth Management Strategy provides a strategic

framework to facilitate and accommodate future employment growth with the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area.

Cr John Arkan moved a motion at Council’s meeting on 26 November for Council to relook at the North Boambee Valley West area for the placement of possible industrial lands, and produce an amended Chapter addressing concerns raised by DPIE relating to environmental constraints for the North Boambee Valley West Investigation AreaEmployment Lands.

“With all of that growth in the city we also need to be catering for industrial lands, it’s a good spot to put it there, there are people that are wanting it there, we originally in Council put it up as a place to do it,” Cr Arkan said.

“If there are some

environmental concerns let’s look at those again, but to cross it out completely might not be the right way to go.”

Cr Sally Townley, however, said many investigations had proved the area to be unsuitable for employment lands.

“I think the message has come through fairly loud and clear from a number of public servants and planners, experts in their field who have identified a whole range of constraints, they’re not making it up, those things are valid,” Cr Townley said.

“It’s an extremely flood prone area, there’s significant concern that development in that area could potentially cause increased flooding downstream, there’s significant vegetation corridors there, koala habitat.

“I think that the message has really come through

Cr Paul Amos moved an amendment at the meeting for Council to send a request to the DPIE seeking a detailed justification of the North Boambee West Investigation Area and Bonville Investigation Area being eliminated from Chapter 8 Employment Lands.

“I think this would be a starting point to find out exactly why these areas have been eliminated from Employment Lands, before we go to the time consuming efforts and expense of producing another chapter,” Cr Amos said.

WHAT a wet and wiley start to the week with the town of Bellingen once again divided as Bellingen Shire Council announced the closure of Lavender’s Bridge on Monday.

With minor to moderate flood warnings issued across both the Bellingen and Coffs Harbour shires and the Mid North Coast since the beginning of the week it is perfect timing that Bellingen’s online Disaster Dashboard is now up and running.

This means shire residents can now easily access live emergency data and updates not only during local floods, but bushfires and disasters too.

Bellingen Council

media@newsofthearea.com.au

Mayor, Cr Dominic King said, “Our Shire’s new Emergency Dashboard went live online for the first time on Thursday 10 December, which was very timely given that Weatherzone’s worstcase scenario rainfall predictions forecast up to 320mm the following weekend between this Friday and Monday.

“That’s why we’ve been working as a member council of the Mid North Coast Joint Organisation with Resilience NSW to develop a new on-line Disaster Dashboard that will provide real-time information to help our community be aware of, prepare for and respond to local emergencies,” Mayor King said.

“Our Shire’s Disaster Dashboard is an online information warehouse where you access real-time information related to live emergencies, information to help you prepare for an

emergency and advice on the types of assistance you can access to recover from an emergency.”

Councillor King said our community had become acutely aware of the impact emergencies can have given the current COVID-19 Pandemic and the recent drought, bush fires and floods.

“We are a resilient and prepared community that can deal with the challenges that past, current and future disasters will present us, and our Get Ready for Bushfire videos and online Disaster Dashboard will help us stay informed and aware of how to respond to local emergencies.”

To access Bellingen Shire’s Disaster Dashboard, simply go to Bellingen Shire Council’s website at www.bellingen.nsw. gov.au and click on the Disaster Dashboard link prominently located on the website’s Home Page.

“I extend my sincere gratitude to them for the countless hours of hard work they’ve invested in helping others and supporting the efficient operation of our legal system.”

Practicing JP Jill Woodcock said, “We are always looking for people to volunteer and become JPs so we can continue to offer services such as the JP desk at Park Beach Plaza which is open from 10am to 2pm Monday to Thursday, and we are hoping to restart the service at Toormina Gardens shopping centre soon as well.”

Councillors reject proposed Coffs Harbour Planning Panel

By Emma DARBIN

A TRIAL of a Coffs Harbour Planning Panel to undertake independent assessment of development applications in the region has been dismissed by Coffs Harbour City councillors.

In July, Coffs Harbour City Council engaged SINC Solutions Pty Ltd to conduct an independent review of Council’s development application (DA) determination processes and staff delegations for the determination of DAs. The review also involved the examination of options for establishing a Local Planning Panel or alternate panel model appropriate for the determination of DAs and relevant staff delegations.

Following the review, Council staff recommended the establishment of the Coffs Harbour Planning Panel for an initial trial period, and for Council to consider allocating $55,000 to commence the trial period of the Planning Panel.

A Council report on the issue stated that ‘the proposed Coffs Harbour Planning Panel model minimises the potential

for political or corrupt influences in the decisionmaking process, and provides an independent quality assurance and review process of staff recommendations by independent experts’.

Council staff currently determine the vast majority of DAs which are determined by staff under delegated authority (98.7%), with the remainder being determined by the elected Council (1%) or the Northern Regional Planning Panel (0.25%).

The report conducted

by SINC Solutions stated that key factors which led to the establishment of independent panels to determine development applications included population growth pressures which increase pressure on the planning system, emerging complex issues and technical requirements such as housing affordability and traffic congestion, regulatory pressure from Federal and NSW Governments, removing the conflicts associated with the multiple roles of councillors as decision maker and community advocate, and enabling

Councillors greater time to focus on strengthening longer term planning for local communities and providing leadership in planning.

Panels have also been recommended by the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the NSW Land and Environment Court to reduce corruption risks, reduce the costs associated with legal challenges, and improve public confidence in the planning system.

“Overall, Local Planning Panels have been put in place so the process of assessment and determination of DAs with a high corruption risk, sensitivity or strategic importance is transparent and accountable,” the report stated.

The NSW Government’s Local Planning Panel model has now been mandated for 35 Councils in NSW (including Sydney councils, Wollongong City Council, and Central Coast Council).

Councils outside these mandated areas are not required to constitute a Local Planning Panel.

The cost to Council for the operation of a Local

Planning Panel would be around $123,340 per annum.

“While there are cost implications associated with the operation of a Local Planning Panel, there are also savings associated with reduced Council Meeting times, reduced development application processing timeframes and the reduced risk of court challenges,” the SINC Solutions report stated.

Cr Sally Townley however said Council’s current development application assessment system was working and there was no need to fix it.

“I think that the system that we’ve got is working, DAs actually occupy a very small percentage of our time here in Council,” Cr Townley said.

“It’s working, it’s not broken, if we don’t know why we’re changing it, let’s not change it.

“Let’s just keep going the way we are.”

Cr Paul Amos agreed and said this was the job the councillors were expected to do.

“I think that our job as councillors as per the expectations of our community is to take on

these hard decisions, that’s what we’re here for,” Cr Amos said.

“This takes that away from us.

“We should not take away our role as expected by our community in the assessment of development applications.”

Cr George Cecato however wished to proceed with the Council staff recommendation for the trial of the Coffs Harbour Planning Panel.

“I personally wouldn’t mind giving it a go and see how this Coffs Harbour Planning Panel works,” Cr Cecato said.

“That will really enhance our capabilities of thinking about the future and big ticket items.”

At Council’s recent meeting on Thursday 10 December, councillors resolved not to proceed with the Coffs Harbour Planning Panel trial and instead to note the Review of Development Application Determinations, Delegations and Local Planning Panel Background and Options Report, and receive a presentation of the Development Assessment Service Delivery Strategy, including a summary of the Development Assessment Service Delivery and Operations Report to councillors in early 2021.

Rural Doctors Award Win

By Sandra MOON

THE Rural Doctors Association of NSW President Dr Charles Evill, announced Bellingen’s Doctor Trevor Cheney as the recipient of the Bowman Cutter Award 2020.

“The award recognises rural doctors who have continued to dedicate their time, skills and voice to their communities, including during what has been a

very challenging year,” said Dr Evill.

Dr Trevor Cheney, from Three Rivers Health & Medical in Bellingen, was presented with the Bowman Cutter Award 2020 to acknowledge his exceptional services to RDANSW and his strong, ongoing advocacy for rural doctors and rural healthcare.

“Dr Cheney has worked as a doctor in Bellingen for over 19 years,” Dr Evill said.

“He also provided obstetrics care there until the service was closed, despite his strong objections.

“He has continued to advocate for the preservation of rural hospital services, and he is passionate about appropriate remuneration for rural doctors.”

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Cheney was one of the first GPs to work in

“Dr Cheney is a GP VMO at his local hospital and works in his practice alongside his wife and Practice Manager, Vicki.

“While Dr Cheney has a strong focus on local issues and helping his local community, he also has the broader picture in view and continues to push NSW Health to keep rural services going across the state,” Dr Evill said.

He is also an active teacher and mentor.

“Dr Cheney epitomizes

those qualities that RDANSW prizes in its role as an advocate for rural doctors.

“I have great pleasure in awarding the Bowman Cutter Award to Trevor.

"Keep up the great work Trevor and thanks a lot!”

Innovative rental searcher

By Monika KOZLOVSKIS WHEN Evie Noble walked into Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC) the stars must have aligned.

Marie Lo Cascio, CHNC Coordinator, couldn’t believe her luck.

Evie, having moved back from Sydney to be with her family because of COVID, came into the centre to volunteer for the Bright Sparks tutoring program.

Instead, she ended up designing an innovative computer program that makes searching for low-cost rentals in the Coffs Coast region, encompassing from Kempsey out to Bowraville and north to Grafton, much simpler.

Marie explained that while the Centre isn’t funded to be an accommodation service and can’t directly assist in that way, many who attend the CHNC in crisis also need somewhere to live.

“There is currently a twelve-year wait for public housing in this area, and to stay on that list some may need to prove they’ve applied for ten rentals per week which can be stressful, especially if they also have family

q Marie Lo Cascio, Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre Coordinator and Evie Noble. commitments or a casual job,” Marie said.

“It can be very timeconsuming following up individual rentals.”

In came Evie to the rescue, having graduated last year with qualifications in graphic design and web design, and whose sister Renee Noble is Executive Director of Girls’ Programming Network and a software developer.

Marie told News Of The Area, “When Evie came in we clicked straight away and I could see her potential.

“In my job I match volunteers with a project to motivate them and that they can feel passionate about, then give them enough autonomy to run with it,” she said.

NSW Health had contacted Marie about finding a more workable way for their clients to search for accommodation, citing manual systems used in some other Neighbourhood Centres which might only be updated weekly.

Evie’s program is powered

by Domain under licence specifically for CHNC and

extracts rentals of $350 per week and under, placing them into a concise, user-friendly table that’s easy to read at a glance.

“Best of all, the listing is refreshed every hour which means a lot less time wasted for everyone,” Marie said.

Evie said she was excited to take on the unique challenge.

“I remember thinking it’s a challenge, but that’s what I like.

“I’ve never done anything like this before, being more

“It’s been a pleasure working on this project with Evie,” Marie said.

“We often hear a negative narrative about millennials, but from my experience coordinating projects with young people, their level of professionalism, work ethic and passion to learn, is wonderful.”

“I know I presented Evie with a huge challenge and her drive and commitment to get this project done in a short space of time was phenomenal and it wouldn’t have been possible without her and her network of IT friends and particularly her sister Renee Noble.”

The free rental finder can be accessed through the CHNC website at https://chnc.com. au/low-cost-rental-list/ Evie is also available to act as consultant for organisations wishing to set up their own programs.

of a web designer in front end development.

“Renee did the data scraping and I designed the web page.”

Evie organised the timeframes, managed liaison and licensing issues, tweaked the coding and designed the sleek, deceptively simple web page.

“This is the first practical project I’ve managed and it involved a lot of technical challenges,” she said.

And how long did it take to create this groundbreaking program?

“Well, Marie and I have met weekly since November… so it’s been a month,” Evie said.

Marie described Evie’s work on the project as “an incredible achievement”.

Language Students Graduate

By Andrew VIVIAN

ELEVEN students graduated from the Adult Migrant English Program’s “Feeding Language” course at TAFE Coffs Harbour last Wednesday.

As previously reported in the News Of The Area, over the course of nine weeks, students developed their English language and numeracy skills while they studied two units of English and two units from the TAFE Hospitality Course.

The students, under the supervision of chef Surojit Bhattacharya, prepared a delicious lunch of chicken tagine with minted peas and pilaf rice and

minted yoghurt followed by apple fritters with raspberry cream for their teachers and helpers.

The lunch was the culmination of cooking sessions in which students prepared dishes such as pizza, pasta, crumbed fish and club sandwiches.

For some of the students, the course has been their first opportunity to have any formal education.

Most of the students have had a very difficult journey to Coffs Harbour.

Nashwa Khnari migrated to Coffs Harbour two years ago from Iraq, via Turkey.

“I loved the whole course and the cooking was harder than the English,” she said.

Al Adiat Alifi Ilyas (Alan), from Bali, said that he could not speak English when he came to Australia.

He gave a very proficient, short speech when he received the award for outstanding achievement in the program.

“After the first three

A Council report on the matter stated that Council receives a significant number of complaints relating to issues from intensive horticultural farming activities.

“The allocation of additional resources would enable Council to implement a proactive approach through partnering with Government Agencies and undertaking compliance audits of IPA (intensive plant agriculture) farms to provide education and take compliance action as a means to influence and change poor practices where appropriate”, the report stated.

Council may step in to monitor agricultural industry

By Emma DARBIN

THE appointment of a Project Officer to undertake supportive monitoring of Coffs Harbour’s intensive agricultural industry over a two year period is being considered by Coffs Harbour City Council.

CHH

Council resolved at its meeting on 26 March to allocate additional resources to assist the State Government and the intensive agricultural industry through provision of supportive monitoring in the areas of water quality, water usage and illegal clearing.

At Council’s meeting on 26 November, Coffs Harbour City councillors unanimously resolved to consider during

the preparation of the next updated Delivery Program 2021/22 the allocation of an annual amount of $130,000 for the appointment of a two year fixed term Project Officer to undertake supportive monitoring of the intensive agricultural industry focussed on proactive education and compliance activities.

The Project Officer’s primary focus would be

Calls for changes to labour hire licensing

By Sandra MOON

PEAK industry body Berries Australia is calling for a national labour hire licensing scheme to be fast tracked in response to the release of the Working Holiday Maker (WHM) Program Inquiry Report and worker shortages and as the McKell Institute Report Blue Harvest alleged worker exploitation last month.

The WHM Program Inquiry Report, released by the Joint Standing Committee on Migration, recommended the continuation of the Working Holiday Maker programme and the implementation of the recommendations of the Migrant Worker taskforce.

Berries Australia Executive Director Rachel Mackenzie said it was encouraging that the committee understood the importance of the Working Holiday Maker visa subclass to Australian agriculture but also acknowledged that dodgy labour hire companies were damaging the reputation of Australia and the sector.

“Due to the significant increase in labour needs over the harvest period many growers outsource to labour hire providers who are able to coordinate across

a large number of smaller growers and employers,” Ms Mackenzie said.

“Competition for labour is extremely high and now more than ever we need a level playing field.

“In many instances the grower pays the contractor the right money, but those funds never make it to the workers and the growers feel unable to push back as they need the crop picked.”

She explained further, “Queensland, South Australia and Victoria have all passed labour hire legislation and Berries Australia has worked closely with the Queensland enforcement team in particular to clean out those who operate unethically.

“NSW has become a hot spot for these dodgy operators as there is no oversight and they phoenix as soon as any enforcement is undertaken.”

The McKell Institute Report Blue Harvest Wage theft & other labour infringements in the NSW Mid-North Coast's 2019/20 berry harvest, by Edward Cavanough discusses the socalled phoenix labour hire rort.

In his report Mr Cavanough explains a large number of employers recruit through social media with

the majority of blueberry phoenix businesses having no discernible ABN. Of those advertised without identifiable ABNs, the report states they can be further categorised.

“The job advertisements posted by entities without an identifiable ABN can further be broken down into three categories: First, some ads were posted where the organisation was listed, but an ABN lookup discerns that this is not an Australian company, or the ABN has been deregistered.

“Where the ads are “Unspecified”, no link to any named business entity is identifiable.”

Ms MacKenzie told News Of The Area it is disappointing for the labour hire breaches to continue to occur.

“We educate our growers and the majority do the right thing but again we call on the government for a National Licensing Scheme and if not the federal government then the state government.”

“Our calls for national labour hire licensing are consistent with the positions put forward by many of the Unions, the Recruitment and Consulting Services Association, the National Farmers’ Federation and the Australian Fresh Produce

q Berries Australia Executive Director Rachel Mackenzie said workers should take reports of mistreatment to the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO).

Alliance,” she said.

Berries Australia is seeking a scheme underpinned by a robust enforcement model and increased funding to the Fair Work Ombudsman to put in place significant fines for any wrongdoing whether it be by labour hire or the growers.

Berries Australia also noted allegations made by the Australian Workers

Union (AWU) and the McKell Institute about underpayment in the berry industry in the Coffs Harbour region of New South Wales.

Ms Mackenzie argued, “Any fair minded Australian would agree that all workers within the horticulture industry must have confidence in knowing that they will be paid lawfully and treated fairly.

“This goes for all workers, whether they are paid directly by growers or employed through labour hire.”

Local Member for Parliament Gurmesh Singh agreed this week stating, “I would absolutely support any moves to further regulate labour hire so we don't see stories about this ever again.”

Mini reveals four steps of good nutrition

By Brad GREENSHIELDS NRL legend Anthony Minichiello was in Coffs Harbour to show 100 frontline health workers how to use food to improve their health and wellbeing.

The Australian representative and NRL premiership captain is a mentor for The Change Room, a program that teaches about nutrition, movement and exercise and how it can aid in recovery and injury prevention.

Using the experience he learned during a 15year rugby league career, Minichiello said he’s walking evidence of the benefits of the program.

“I’ve got a lived experience with my own injuries.

“Back in the mid-2000s I had three spine injuries and a major leg injury. I revamped everything with my lifestyle and I had a breaking point and it was food,” Minichiello said.

“I have my four simple steps now that I share with people and what I live by and I’ve seen the changes in my own body and the changes in my own spine to improve my

own health.

“I just want to share that story and hopefully improve others. In the program we’ve had huge results with the four steps and what the other mentors share as well.”

Speaking at the Coffs Harbour Health Campus with the health workers, Minichiello shared his story as well as his four steps.

“My four steps for nutrition is to get to know the source of your food, the process of your food, decrease consumption of refined and processed foods and then step four is an intermittent fast,” he said.

Decision on future Regional Athletics Centre site stalled

By Emma DARBIN

DEBATE over the most appropriate site for the future Coffs Harbour Regional Athletics Centre continued at Coffs Harbour City Council’s recent meeting, with councillors once again advised by Council to choose York Street Oval as the site and councillors once again unable to make a decision on the issue.

In July 2019, Council resolved to support in principle the establishment of a Regional Athletics Centre and to undertake a site selection investigation.

At Council’s meeting on 10 September, the proposed Regional Athletics Centre Site Selection report was provided to Council with two sites, Bruce Barnier Oval and York Street Oval, investigated and York Street Oval recommended as the preferred site.

Council resolved at this meeting to place the Regional Athletics Centre Site Selection report on public exhibition and received 51 submissions, with 23 submissions in support of Bruce Barnier Oval and 22 submissions in support of York Street Oval as the proposed site.

Following the public

exhibition process Council staff once again recommended York Street Oval for the Coffs Harbour Regional Athletics Centre site, and recommended Council consider allocating $100,000 to develop a site master plan for York Street Oval.

A Council report on the matter stated that York Street Oval is able to continue to deliver a functional facility for district level football until such time as football moves to Moonee Sports Complex, and the site could also have the capacity to include community fitness and running facilities for use by the community in general.

The Regional Athletics Centre is proposed to comprise an international standard 400m multi-lane all weather synthetic-surfaced track and field facility.

At Council’s recent meeting conflicting opinion on the preferred site was heard from various stakeholders invested in the potential site, with North Coast Football General Manager Andrew Woodward and local athletics community representative Nicola Johstone both strongly opposed to the York Street Oval site, while Athletics NSW CEO Kirin Lindop and Little

Athletics CEO Rebecca Shaw both spoke in support of the York Street Oval site.

Cr Keith Rhoades moved a new motion at the meeting for the matter to be deferred until a workshop can be held involving all users of York Street Oval, Bruce Barnier Oval, Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Precinct and the proposed Moonee Sporting Precinct.

“By doing this I believe it will be the first time that all of the users have the opportunity to get into a room in a workshop forum to be able to put it on the table and have answers given as to why or why not things can or cannot work,” Cr Rhoades said.

“I think at the end of the day after doing that we will find that a lot of the clouds over this will disappear.

“To me there’s still a lot of unanswered questions.”

Cr Rhoades also suggested that the Bray Street Complex could be another possible site to house the future Regional Athletics Centre.

“Why are we confining it also to just York St and the Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park Precinct, mainly the Bruce Barnier Oval, when we haven’t really had anything else put on the table before us,”

Cr Rhoades said.

“There is one suggestion that I think would have merit and that is the Bray Street complex, that also could be investigated at the workshop.”

At Council’s recent meeting on Thursday 10 December councillors unanimously agreed to defer the matter until a workshop can be held in early 2021 involving councillors, relevant staff and all users of York Street Oval, Bruce Barnier Oval, Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Precinct (including Advocate Park) and the proposed Moonee Sporting Precinct.

Creating A Safe Space

By Andrew VIVIAN

CHRISTMAS is a time when many of us donate our time, effort and/or money to help people less fortunate than ourselves.

However, Coffs Harbour has a significant number of vulnerable people who have great difficulty in accessing everyday services and activities as readily as most people, and many other residents step up to help them all year round.

As previously noted in News Of The Area, Pete’s Place, in the Community Village, is a place where a number of services combine to create a safe place with a feeling of community, particularly for those experiencing homelessness.

Prior to March 2018, the Neighbourhood Centre was the only place with a shower and toilet available, and service providers saw the need for a physical space to house a dedicated drop-in service.

The St Vincent de Paul Society had already set up Fred’s Place, in Tweed Heads, to assist people experiencing homelessness, and, with support from Rotary and the Coffs Harbour City Council and a bequest from a local resident (Pete), Pete’s Place was created.

Over time, Pete’s Place

has evolved as needs were identified and services and volunteers came on site.

It provides physical facilities such as washing machines and dryers, showers, toilets, food and tents, swags and toiletries.

Pete’s Place employs two staff and eight volunteers and shares spaces with the Neighbourhood Centre and collaborates to provide some services.

Anna Scott, the Manager of Pete’s Place, said, “Access to resources and services is a social justice issue.”

Numerous outside groups provide other services.

New Horizons supports tenancies and helps provide housing and the Community Legal Centre and legal aid clinic assist with legal matters.

Health services are provided by a women’s health nurse, Galambila Aboriginal Medical Service, Frankly Health Care and NSW Health services.

Oz Harvest supplies food and Hound Hub provides medication and supplies for dogs.

Prior to COVID-19, Centrelink supported people to access its services and should return soon.

Schools, community

www.newsofthearea.com.au groups and individuals continuously donate money and essentials such as underwear, socks and toiletries.

“A strong community comes together to support its vulnerable,” said Ms Scott.

“We aim to mitigate some of these inequities by providing services in a safe space,” she added.

According to Ms Scott, Pete’s Place helps people feel a part of something and gives them a sense of belonging.

People who have very little come in and offer to help with cleaning and other chores.

Many drop in just to have someone to talk to.

Pete’s Place hopes to expand in the near future.

Council seeks alliance with RAAF squadron

By Emma DARBIN

indicated the desire for 36SQN personnel to support ANZAC services and other initiatives such as school visits and parades within the community, and discussions have indicated a strong desire to grant and celebrate the Freedom of Entry to the City as part of the Centenary of the Royal Australian Air Force celebrations, which will be celebrated in 2021.

There is a tradition of an Australian city or town creating an alliance with a Defence Force Unit.

Council on behalf of the City of Coffs Harbour adopted the RAN 725 squadron in 2016, and Freedom of Entry to the city was granted and executed as part of a welcome parade and civic event in May, 2016.

The 725 squadron then executed the Freedom of Entry again in 2019.

Council has previously engaged the tradition with the RAN 805 Squadron, before it was decommissioned in 2008.

COFFS Harbour could be chosen as a regional centre to host an official celebration of the Centenary of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) next year, if Coffs Harbour City Council's request for a “Freedom of Entry” association between Council and the RAAF is approved.

At Council’s meeting on 26 November, Coffs Harbour City councillors unanimously resolved for Council to formally write to the RAAF Chief of Air Force regarding a potential “Freedom of Entry” association between Council and the RAAF, possibly the No. 36 Squadron (36SQN).

The Coffs Harbour and District Branch of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and Council have had initial meetings to discuss a potential “Freedom of Entry” association between the RAAF’s No. 36 Squadron and the City of Coffs Harbour.

Highway upgrade finished to a horrific crash in Cowper in 1989, it had become much more than just a safety upgrade.

“The positive impacts of the project will continue to be felt right along the NSW North Coast, transforming tourism, freight and local journeys into smoother, and more reliable ones, which is critical for our local economies,” Mr Hogan said.

“This key piece of infrastructure will contribute to a stronger and more prosperous region by ensuring products can get to where they need to be quickly.

Something we have seen become especially important this year.”

Minor finishing works will be carried out along sections of the Pacific Highway into the New Year.

THE final section of the Pacific Hwy upgrade between Woolgoolga and Ballina is open to traffic.

Last week’s opening of the 15-kilometre section between Devils Pulpit and Woodburn means the Pacific Hwy is now a dual-carriageway, four-lane road all the way between Hexham and the Queensland border.

Opening just in time for Christmas, State Member for Clarence Chris Gulaptis said the completion of the highway upgrade was perfectly timed to serve the recent boom in regional tourism by improving access along the entire length of the coast.

“The Woolgoolga to Ballina upgrade will transform holiday journeys

this festive season, bypassing five towns and providing a safer and more reliable road to complement the expected increase in domestic travel,” Mr Gulaptis said.

“We’ve installed the largest directional signs in NSW to showcase what each of our bypassed towns along the Pacific Hwy have to offer, so I would love even more people to visit our region and check out what they have to offer.”

The overall travel distance between Woolgoolga and Ballina will now be about 13 kilometres shorter than what it originally was and travel time between the two points will be about 25 minutes quicker.

Nova Star Becomes CHY Patron

By Sandra MOON

MATT De Groot, CHY Graduate and breakfast newsreader on the Fitzy & Wippa program on Sydney’s NOVA FM is now a 104.1 CHY FM station patron.

Born and raised in Coffs Harbour, Matt got his start in radio by volunteering at 104.1 CHY FM while he was in high school.

“I remember someone from the station coming to the school and giving a talk about getting involved in radio.

“What hooked me was that I could get time off school.

“But once I found my voice, and just how I could make positive, creative change in the

community, I knew this is what I wanted to do,” he said.

Matt was the vice-captain of both his primary and secondary schools and then went to the University of Canberra to study Sports Media.

“While at university in Canberra, I worked on a sports show at 104.7.

“I also got to do stuff on television with ATN and WIN News.

“When I finished my degree, I got a job in the newsroom at 2UE and was there for five years.”

After a brief stint caddying in the US for his sister, Matt returned to Australia and was hired by NOVA 96.9 in 2012, and he has been there ever since.

Along with his radio duties, Matt is also a Rugby League commentator for Channel 9, makes regular appearances on Channel 7’s The Morning Show, Channel 10’s Studio 10 as well as Sky News and the ABC.

Neil Diamond Needs Help

By Sandra MOON

CAN you invite Neil Diamond into your home these holidays?

Or Oreo? Or a pregnant cat or dog?

ANIMAL Rescue Coffs Harbour (ARCH) desperately needs animal foster carers over the holiday period and the lovable Neil Diamond is one amongst many.

ARCH is a local rescue group established in 2013 by a small group of people and run completely by volunteers with supporter donations, fundraising and adoption fees.

Over the past few years

ARCH has rescued and rehomed over 500 animals.

At Christmas time some of the regular carers will be going away to visit friends and family.

This puts ARCH in the position of needing to find temporary foster care.

Heather Watkins, Deputy President of ARCH explained to News Of The Area, “We can place some of the animals with other current carers but some may need to be the only pet so we are struggling to find suitable carers.

“The beautiful Neil Diamond is one such dog,” she

said.

His current carers are going away for ten days.

“He is a lovely natured young boy, who unfortunately did not receive any socialisation whilst still young.

“Neil thinks he is a lap dog and his favourite spot is laying on top of you.

“He is a medium sized dog, so although he does pull on the lead still, he can get out for his walks which he loves," Ms Watkins said.

“We would prefer he went to a dog experienced carer but he should be fine with most homes.”

give back to the birthplace of my career is humbling and an honour.”

Mr De Groot said he wants to highlight the kinds of opportunities CHY can present.

“Everything I have been able to achieve in TV and radio is all very much down to starting at CHY. “So if others are able to see an enjoyable fruitful career is possible and join CHY I’m happy,” he told News Of The Area.

“CHY has a unique selling point; there is no other station at all that allows a year 8 student to train up and get real on- air experience and is a fabulous resource.”

Neil Diamond isn’t the only pooch looking for a hand these holidays Heather said.

“We also currently have a beautiful young staffy x who has recently come back into care.

“Oreo was adopted out as a puppy but unfortunately he is no longer getting along with his fur sister who was also adopted as a puppy.

“We believe that in the right home, Oreo will flourish and will be an amazing dog and can certainly be around other dogs in the right situation.

“Oreo needs the right home with an owner who understands his breed and is

willing to spend time with him to enable him to be the best dog he can.”

ARCH rescues dogs and cats mainly from country pounds, where they may be at risk of euthanasia, relying completely on individual foster carers who are willing to

welcome animals into their home and provide a loving environment until their permanent home is found.

Foster carers are provided with most things they would need including food, bedding, leads, collars and flea/tick treatment and covers all veterinary costs associated.

Please contact ARCH via animalrescuech@gmail.com if you can help with a temporary or permanent home. q Neil Diamond is one of the animals needing care in a home without other animals these holidays.

Prolific director moves on from Coffs Coast after 30 years

By David TUNE MANY Coffs Coast residents will be familiar with Pat Slattery and her incredible body of work in community theatre over the last thirty years.

Pat is moving to the Central Coast to be closer to family and leaves behind a lasting legacy of happy memories for the large number of people who were associated with or saw her productions.

Hitting the stage with Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company’s (CHMCC) 1983 production of ‘Lola Montez’ cast as one of the harlots, she went on to direct ‘The Pajama Game’ in 1987 as well as performing

in other shows along the way.

Having directed over thirty shows on the stage of the Jetty Memorial Theatre as well as numerous dinner theatre productions at venues including The Windmill restaurant, Pat has become the most prolific and highly respected director in town.

Working with numerous community theatre groups over the years some of her many Jetty Theatre stage triumphs were ‘South Pacific’ (1995), ‘Nunsense’ (1997 and 2014), ‘Cabaret’ (2010), ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ (2010) and her most recent production ‘Calendar Girls’ in 2018.

In 2017 her production of ‘Grease’ sold out all 10 shows

prior to opening night, which demonstrated just how well known and appreciated Pat is in the Coffs Coast theatre scene.

Pat said, “I do it for love, I just want people to have fun doing theatre and to give the audiences a great experience.

“I have loved being able to bring people together as a part of our local theatre family, and I will miss being so close to them all.”

Serving for many years on the CHMCC committee, Pat was made a life member of the company and in 2018 was included in the NSW Association of Community Theatre’s Hall of Fame for her exceptional service to community theatre.

Rumour has it that she is already planning to direct shows in her new town and may well prompt some road trips for locals in the future.

Community theatre stalwarts moving on Coffs Harbour Amateur Theatrical Society pay tribute to three long-serving departees

By David TUNE

ON Sunday 13 December members and friends of Coffs Harbour Amateur Theatrical Society (CHATS) and Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company (CHMCC) gathered at Red C to celebrate the end of the year and to recognise the contributions of longtime volunteers who are

moving away from the area.

Along with veteran director Pat Slattery who has moved to the Central Coast, the companies will miss the services and friendship of master set designer and builder Frank Lilley (returning to Melbourne) and performer, hair stylist and costumier extraordinaire Colin Wilkes who has moved

to Brisbane.

Frank has been the main set designer and builder for both companies for the last ten years, sharing his expertise gained as a professional with the Melbourne Theatre Company and Ballet.

His sets have added life and colour as well as complex tricks and special effects to

many productions including CHMCC’s “The King and I”, “Mary Poppins”, “Wicked” and CHATS productions of “Noises Off” and “The Mousetrap” to name but a few.

The tight spaces and limited size of the theatre have been a challenge, “Some

shows I didn’t think we would be able to make work, but we always managed to find a solution and I have really enjoyed the challenges that have come up over the years,” Frank said.

Colin has been in numerous CHMCC shows going back many years and has always generously contributed his immense skills in both hairdressing and costume making and design.

Very few community theatre shows in the past years have not had Colin’s contribution somewhere in the production, and his mammoth costume work for CHMCC’s “Annie”, as well as performing in the show, helped deliver a stunning extravaganza on stage.

All these people will be sorely missed by the community theatre family as they exit, stage right.

Plans for a future Woolgoolga Youth Facility stall

By Emma DARBIN INVESTIGATIONS into a potential youth facility at Woolgoolga have floundered with Coffs Harbour City Council finding that Woolgoolga already has adequate youth facilities, and the completion of the West Woolgoolga Sports Complex will provide a further venue for youths to gather.

At Council’s meeting on 26 July, 2018 Council resolved to investigate the feasibility of the Woolgoolga and Northern Beaches Youth Educational and Events Centre and Upcycled Training Facility proposal.

The proposal was borne in 2018 by the Woolgoolga and Northern Beaches Youth Educational and Events Centre and Upcycled Training Facility group, however Council has received no formal detailed project proposal from the group.

Due to this, Council staff have been unable to fully investigate the feasibility of the proposed complex.

The facility location

originally suggested by the group was within the Woolgoolga Pool Reserve .

The concept was to use the site and/or building formerly used as a youth clubhouse space, with programs run by an external community organisation.

A review of Council’s community facilities and assets, undertaken as part of Council’s Draft Community and Cultural Facilities 202131, identified a gap around dedicated youth spaces for programs run by external providers in areas such as Woolgoolga and Toormina.

The review also determined that the Woolgoolga area has an appropriate number of well-located community or cultural venues with bookable spaces available, in suitable condition.

These facilities include Council owned or managed venues such as Woolgoolga Library and Woolgoolga Community Village venues, and community managed venues such as Woolgoolga Neighborhood Centre and

q Council investigations into a Woolgoolga Youth Centre have stalled, with the village deemed to have adequate youth facilities and the future West Woolgoolga Sports Complex providing further youth space in the town. Photo: Coffs Harbour City Council.

Woolgoolga Community Gardens.

A Council review also found that the completion of the West Woolgoolga Sports Complex by late 2022 will provide multi-purpose indoor and outdoor spaces that may be utilised for a range of activities for young people, and the Woolgoolga Pool Reserve Site pool redevelopment will allow space on the broader pool reserve site for potential

uses.

Council recommends within its Draft Community and Cultural Facilities Plan 2021-31 that a site concept plan be prepared to identify future uses on specific portions of the pool reserve site.

A Council assessment of Woolgoolga facility provision and site opportunities determined that there are a number of current, short and

long term site opportunities within Woolgoolga for the Woolgoolga and Northern Beaches Youth Educational & Events Centre and Upcycled Training Facility group to execute their 2018 concept, should they wish to progress the proposal.

At Council’s meeting on 26 November, Council resolved to note that a detailed project proposal has not been able to be secured and therefore

Council is unable to investigate the feasibility of the facility, and note that Woolgoolga has an adequate provision of facilities that have capacity as bookable spaces for youthfocussed programs and that in coming years the completion of the West Woolgoolga Sports Complex will provide further multi-purpose indoor and outdoor spaces that may be utilised for a range of activities for young people.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Santa’s Workshop Blunder IT was two days before Christmas and Santa’s workshop had never been busier.

Toy production had been on hold due to the Coronavirus pandemic, which left the elves frantically trying to meet their yearly toy quota.

The workshop was a mess, with tools and toy parts scattered all over the floor.

Peewee, the Chief of elf staff, was walking towards the wooden toys department when he tripped on a set of pliers.

He was unable to regain his balance and crashed face-first into a pile of Jenga blocks.

Peewee suffered a devastating blow to his neck and was immediately conveyed to the North Pole Hospital.

As a result of the incident, Peewee required immediate surgery and was likely to remain off work for at least a year.

His Specialist, Dr Rudolph, advised he would need weekly physiotherapy and likely be on pain medication for several years.

Concerned about his rights, Peewee sought advice from a solicitor at Elvish Folk & Co. The solicitor informed him that he was entitled to lodge a workers compensation claim with Santa’s workers compensation insurer.

The insurer would pay him a portion of his pre-injury wages and any reasonable and necessary treatment associated with his injuries.

Once his injuries stabilised, he could also potentially make a claim for lump sum compensation.

Peewee was delighted to hear this and lodged the claim the following day.

Santa was very understanding and reassured Peewee that his role would remain open until he returned to the workshop.

Peewee was relieved and grateful to his solicitor for the advice.

Now that he was aware of his entitlements, he was able to focus on treatment without worrying about the financial cost.

‘You are being lied to’ - a response DEAR News Of The Area, ‘YOU ARE BEING LIED TO’ Brigit Mackenzie your full page last week (News Of The Area, p15, December 11 Edition) suggests that you may have an hidden agenda supporting the approval of the new Council precinct in Gordon Street.

For the last 20 years the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association has fought battles with successive Councils to

avoid the demise of one of our turf cricket wickets on the edge of the CBD, that being Brelsford Park.

Five years ago I attended several workshops to explain how a smaller "Village Green" would be situated in a revamped park with walking paths, gardens and a cafe set behind the new Council Chambers, Library and Art Gallery.

First the historic brick grandstand was

demolished then the turf wicket was removed.

All that has been constructed since is a modern unisex toilet block!

Once cricket facilities were removed there has been absolutely no explanation or compensation to the sporting organisation.

My FIRST question to you Brigit is "WHO LIED TO WHO?" SECOND, what is your involvement in the project?

Regards, Ken ROBINSON, Coffs Harbour.

The deferment of local elections was not an act of the local Council.

The NSW Minister for Local Government announced in March 2020 that the scheduled September 2020 local government elections in all local government areas of NSW would be postponed for 12 months to address the risks posed by the COVID-19 virus. The minister has this power under the Local Government Act 1993.

So the next Council election will be in September 2021.

The subsequent election will still proceed in September 2024.

our feelings?

Ms Chloe F.

Dear Chloe, WELL, I don't want to be a Christmas grinch, but your mum has a point. Plastic

Christmas trees are imported and you might not feel the same about the tree

once you remember it is basically just a

very fancy mass of petroleum chemicals.

If your mum is worried about the plant's

feelings, you can buy a lovely potted tree

that costs around the same price and it will grow along with your family.

There are some other alternatives

if you want to break with tradition and keep your mum happy. A branch can

look very stylish when adorned with

decorations. If you use the decorations you already have, you'll be saving money

and not adding to landfill. Alternatively,

you can make your own decorations.

Without getting all hippy trippy on

you, Chloe, there are some great ideas

on the Internet such as drying orange segments and making cinnamon stick bundles which will make your house smell amazing.

I hope with the money your mum

saves on her ethical decorating, she will buy you a wonderful present this year.

Although, chances are she is possibly donating a goat or a chicken in your

name and giving you some underwear made out of wood pulp.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Hopefully this will never happen as the equipment in some cases could not even be called roadworthy.

To my knowledge the swimming pools at Woolgoolga and Sawtell and the Jetty Theatre were not in any way affected as a result of the fires.

Surely these funds should be used in more deserving areas where communities have lost not only many homes, but businesses and community facilities.

It is hard to believe that a Council which despite huge opposition is determined to push ahead with an outlandish $76,000.000.00 plus project, considers their eligibility for such funding.

Why should Bushfire Recovery Funds be allocated here?

Regards, Ann DEANS, North Boambee Valley.

Clarification of casting vote DEAR News Of The Area,

IN regards to the use of a casting vote, every Council in Australia has this mechanism for breaking a deadlocked decision.

The convention is for the casting vote to preserve the “status quo” however that’s not binding on who has that casting vote.

In the case of Coffs Harbour Civic Centre the original vote to proceed in 2018 was 6 in

favour 2 against.

So subsequent decisions preserve that status quo.

Arguments about lack of parking or whether you like it or not has nothing to do with casting votes.

The other matter regarding the delayed Council election is out of Council’s hands and was made statewide by the nsw government.

It is not the only time that’s happened.

Enjoy the Holidays SO the summer holidays are nearly upon us and I bet we’re all looking forward to being able to spend time with family and friends just relaxing after a very challenging year.

I was so glad to hear about the borders reopening as people have had to endure so much time separated from their loved ones and – finally – we can all be together.

My heart goes out to anyone who has family still stuck overseas because of the pandemic and I hope they have good news soon.

While we’re all out and about enjoying the holidays – and what’s not to like about living here – please don’t let your guard down and still stick to the COVIDSafe rules.

Above all – enjoy it, you deserve it.

And if you do have people visiting, why not treat them to some of the many indoor, outdoor, fun-filled and educational attractions we have on the Coffs Coast.

All of them have some amazing and fascinating exhibitions on show.

The Museum would be a great place to take visitors who are new to the area.

There’s a fascinating show on currently called ‘Bananas to Beautizone’.

It features quirky postcards, signs, fashion, photos and all things bananas that will entertain or spark memories. Meanwhile in the Maritime room, visitors can explore living as a lighthouse keeper on South Solitary Island, historic happenings at the jetty and past shipwrecks from the coast.

The good news is that the Museum is now open for longer hours for the summer.

Locals and visitors will be able to visit Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 4pm, with loads of exhibits about the people, places and events that shaped the Coffs Harbour region.

Whatever you do, have a wonderful Christmas and summer.

Coffs Coast, you ARE being lied to DEAR News Of The Area, BRIGIT Mackenzie’s full-page ad, concerning the construction of new council offices, with attached cultural spaces, screams that “You Are Being Lied To”.

She’s right.

This ad is full of lies.

This project will create a monument to its proponents, in the form of new Council offices which, it appears, will eventually occupy the greater amount of the building’s space.

The figure of $76.5 million has been arrived at by guesswork, based upon an examination of plans drawn up years ago, and without current, accurate costings.

Essential costs, for parts of the project which are not included in the actual

building, have not been considered.

Estimates of total costs in excess of $100 million are conservative.

Changes by council to the plans, in order to reduce increasing costs, may already be happening.

The final budget for the project cannot now, or ever, be met through the proposed fund-raising strategies.

Consultation on the project has accepted favourable views only.

Opponents of the project, and its potentially crippling cost, have been painted as a noisy minority, whilst, in fact, this group may well represent this community’s majority view.

Multiple requests for a simple and inexpensive poll of ratepayers, in order to determine the true level of community

support, have been summarily rejected.

A cultural centre, with the inclusion of a suitable live performance component, is welcomed as a community resource.

It does not need to make economic or business sense in order to be worthwhile.

It’s location in Gordon Street creates insurmountable problems, and does not build community cohesion.

Don’t take my word for it.

Please, do your own research.

There is plenty of reliable information available.

Remember, no matter what this project costs, it’s ratepayers who will pay the bill.

Regards, Julian MAY, Boambee East.

Students say berry picking helps support their studies

By Sandra MOON UNIVERSITY students Tarun Mills and James Bhorla, say picking blueberries over the summer break is the perfect way to earn extra money to fund their studies.

Amidst calls for wide reform of the blueberry industry’s piece pay rates and labour hire practices in Coffs Harbour and surrounds, Tarun and James are repeat annual pickers, who say the work is a legitimate way to make good holiday money.

Tarun, who grew up in Woolgoolga, has just finished his fourth year in medicine at the University of New South Wales and is now in his third harvest season at Costa Berries picking blueberries in Corindi.

“I started picking here in the 2017 summer holidays.

“I don’t have a lot of time to work when I’m at uni so this is a good opportunity to earn money,” Tarun said.

“It’s a great environment to meet lots of people,” Tarun added.

“When I first started it was hard work, but you can make decent money,” Tarun said.

“You have to put the effort in but it’s definitely worth it. The environment is really good here.

q James Bhorla and Tarun Mills enjoy picking berries for Costa at Corindi.

“I like working outside and working with my hands which I don’t get to do when I’m at uni,” he said.

Tarun said the holiday job helped support him throughout the year.

“I was hoping to come back for one more season, but I’ll be doing a placement next year so this might be my last one unfortunately,” he said.

James Bhorla, who also went to Woolgoolga High School, has

www.newsofthearea.com.au

just finished his third year studying radiography at the University of Newcastle.

This is his fourth season picking at Costa.

“Doing uni you don’t get much time during the year so it’s difficult to get a job.

“Working here means I also get to come home,” he said.

“You get to be outside and active and you get to meet really interesting people and learn about

their experiences.

“It’s pretty fun.”

James said the flexibility also enabled him to work around uni placements and being paid according to how much you pick was motivating.

“It’s a good amount of pay to get you through the year.

“It is just a really good experience and I would encourage people to give it a go,” he said.

THIS big, private residence has been home to the same family for about 18 years and

is being offered for sale for the first time.

Those wanting to stretch out, work from home or those with larger families will love the flexible floor plan, as will people who want rural-style living with easy, level access and room to breathe (or space to keep extra vehicles, boats, camper trailers etc).

Positioned on the block to take advantage of both the sunlight and the tranquil, towering gums, the home also has wide wrap-around verandahs, which really suit the Aussie bush lifestyle.

Entry is into the spacious open plan living area, which

OPENHouse

fits a large lounge suite and square eight-seater dining table with ease.

There’s also a Eureka wood fire.

The adjoining galley kitchen with walk-in-pantry has a lovely aspect out to the gardens and there’s a family room beyond to set up a kids’ play area or perhaps a homework station, to supervise the kids while you’re preparing dinner.

Those who work from home will love the fact the fifth bedroom is just beyond this space, allowing the ideal office zone while keeping the other bedrooms more private.

The family bathroom is conveniently also on this

level.

While not having to share a bedroom is bound to keep the kids of bigger families happy, the parents haven’t been forgotten either, with a serene retreat upstairs.

A bay-style window is the ideal spot to enjoy the tranquil tree-lined outlook, and there’s a deck off here large enough for a bistro setting for your morning cup of tea.

An ensuite and walk-inrobe complete the picture.

Back downstairs and a spacious covered outdoor entertaining area is perfect for barbecues or entertaining friends, and the largely gravel driveway to the double lock up garage provides easy access to this area and beyond.

Bring your van, trailer and perhaps kayaks for Sunday morning trips down to the Bellinger River at Mylestom.

The requisite tanks and garden storage sheds in this area mean you don’t need to

clutter the garage, there are two drinking water tanks of approximately 24,500 litres (6,500 gallons) and approximately 32,500 litres (8,500 gallons) along with a third tank for watering the garden which also has a fire pump.

Go for a stroll down the block (or drive your ride-on mower) beyond the bush and out into another open paddock at the rear.

You’re bound to be surprised.

There’s a lot more easily accessible space than you might imagine.

Designed to suit the block, this home still has plenty of scope to add your own personal touches, or simply move in, stretch out and enjoy the easy family living as is!

Newcastle Jets football clinic a big hit

By David WIGLEY THE Newcastle Jets put on a free football clinic for the kids of Coffs Harbour last week and it was a big hit with kids and parents.

Upon arrival the kids received a free Newcastle Jets goodie bag which included a football and signed poster from the players.

The Jets players received a red carpet welcome as they were clapped from the team bus at Coffs Harbour Sport and Recreation Park by an army of doting supporters.

The Jets support crew had set up six pitches so the kids were straight into training drills with the Jets players as they patiently explained each drill and participated in the training.

There was a big emphasis on having fun and the Jets players led by example with

q Girl power: Julia Pietrini and Jaida Wigley attended the free clinic. big smiles and an insatiable enthusiasm which resonated with the kids.

At the end of the clinic the kids cheered the A-League players back onto the team bus as they devoured the complementary sausage sizzle.

The affable Jets players were a big hit with parents and kids as local dad Lewis

q Big smiles from Jets defender Lachlan Jackson.

Pietrini explained.

“My little one Julia couldn’t wait to have a kick.

“When the players arrived the kids went crazy, it was awesome to see their enthusiasm for the sport.”

Mr Pietrini praised both the professionalism and enthusiasm of the players.

“The drills were creative, fun and team orientated which gave the kids a chance to show their football flair to the A-League players.

“I was very impressed with the players' involvement and mentoring during the drills.

“The organisation and professional set up was first

class and hopefully they continue to provide this community engagement every year,” said Mr Pietrini.

The Jets’ tour of Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour brought back memories for 20-year-old Newcastle Jets midfielder Angus Thurgate.

“I used to play here, and to see them follow in our footsteps is always good.

“It shows there is a pathway out there, if it’s something they want.

“I guess I’m a sign to show that they can do it and there is a pathway,” Thurgate said.

Josh Wiseman’s kids attended the clinic and asked if the Jets could come to training every week.

“My two boys Sebastian and Eli absolutely loved it and asked if they could do it every week,” said Mr Wiseman.

“I thought it was well organised and managed.

“It was great to see the entire Jets squad down there teaching and interacting with so many kids.”

The Newcastle Jets play their first A-League match against the Central Coast Mariners on 31 December and after last week’s performance they will have new fans from the Coffs Coast in support.

Rally Up In Dust STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 48 Australia is believed to be in place, this latest revelation shows a deal between the WRC and Macquarie Street may be far from a done deal.

Coffs Harbour staged the most recent Australian round of the WRC in 2018.

The 2019 event was cancelled due to bushfires.

This year a round of the WRC was to be held in New Zealand before the COVID pandemic arrived.

World Rally Championship officials have expressed concern that having the large international event in Coffs Harbour robs it of the chance to have a large number of spectators in attendance due to the Coffs Coast’s distance from a capital city.

It may or may not be a coincidence that these concerns turned from whispers to genuine rumblings about the same time a vote was taken in April 2016 on whether or not Coffs Harbour City Council would continue to provide financial support to Rally Australia.

Based on a Rally Australia figure that the event provided an overall economic benefit calculated at $13.8 million per year, the original vote of no was reversed a fortnight later. q "Can we do this every week?"

Sebastian and Eli Wiseman with dad Josh Wiseman.

It’s believed WRC officials now fear it has outgrown Coffs Harbour’s ability to host the annual rallying extravaganza.

Rally Australia has not been included in the 2021 World Rally Championship calendar.

A shortened 12-round format has been confirmed as the world continues to come to grips with coronavirus.

WRC Promoter managing director Jona Siebel said no rounds outside Europe are scheduled before late June and only a third of the 12 rounds will be held across the first five months of the year.

"COVID-19 has hit international sporting events extremely hard. WRC has not been spared, leading to the unfortunate cancellation of several events throughout 2020," Siebel said.

"So, in developing the 2021 FIA World Rally Championship calendar, we had to take pragmatic and strategic decisions on the continuing impact on global travel next year.

"We could not foresee any long-haul events being held in a safe manner for the public, or for our large group of travelling staff, suppliers, competitors and media."

q Port Macquarie local and Jets midfielder Angus Thurgate was happy to share his skills with local football enthusiasts.

Hot volleyball action on the sand Jetty Beach will be the home of some incredible beach volleyball action this weekend.

Quayle flies to North Coast Open victory

By Brad GREENSHIELDS AS victor Anthony Quayle ran his eye over previous winners of the North Coast Open, the Queenslander was left awestruck that he’d joined the likes of great players such as Gary Player, Kel Nagle, Norman Von Nida, Bruce Crampton and Bill Dunk.

“That’s really cool, really cool,” Quayle said.

“I think any time you win an event like this and your name is next to those names, it gives you a little more confidence and it’s something you can sit back and have some champagne with and enjoy.”

After both he and Victorian Deyen Lawson shot a course record 63 in the opening round on Coffs Harbour Golf Club’s East Lakes layout, Quayle shot a 67 in the final round to finish four strokes ahead of Lawson who finished on six-under for the 36 holes.

Marcus Fraser and Matthew Millar shared third place a further shot back.

It was a result that may have been in doubt after Quayle made a double-bogey on the 3rd hole but the 26 year-old wasn’t too fazed.

“I got a bit of a flyer on the third and went over the back into a spot you couldn’t miss it,” he said.

“But I played good after that. I didn’t let it rattle me too much because I know I know I didn’t do a lot wrong.

“I felt really relaxed out there and just had to keep doing what I was doing and I knew I’d still be pretty competitive.”

Quayle bounced back with birdies on the 6th and 8th holes so when the final group began the back nine, he led Lawson by two strokes.

Further birdies on the 11th and 13th holes stretched the lead to four.

The tournament was put to bed on the par-5 14th when Quayle launched his drive to within 157 metres before nailing a 9-iron to four feet to set-up an eagle and make the lead

JETTY Beach will be the home of some incredible beach volleyball action this weekend.

Saturday will see the sixth round of the NSW Beach Volleyball Tour played in Coffs Harbour while Sunday will be the third round of the Junior Beach Volleyball Tour.

The tour is unquestionably the highest level of beach volleyball in the state, providing a competitive environment for NSW’s elite and developing athletes.

Hosted by Volleyball

NSW, the two days of action are sure to meet the goal of delivering an exciting event for both players and spectators alike.

Jarred Osborne, the events manager for Volleyball NSW, said Coffs Harbour was an easy choice to make when deciding on what venues to use for the tour this summer.

“Volleyball NSW is not Volleyball Sydney, it’s time to take these events to regional areas and Coffs Harbour has a strong volleyball community with some really good players,” Osborne said.

“So it was pretty obvious when we thought why not

an unassailable six shots.

The tournament was the first time in many years the North Coast Open had been a professional event.

Quayle said he sees no reason why it shouldn’t continue to be so in the future, saving special praise for Coffs Harbour’s greens and fairways.

“The course was immaculate. It was probably as good a

take events like this to Coffs.”

The senior tour event on Saturday will start at about 8.30am.

It will feature 16 mens and 16 women's teams vying for victory.

The two highest ranked teams entered into the men's competition are the pairs of Mateusz Zieba and Nate Barke and Peter Fountotos and Georgios Fountotos.

The women’s competition boasts some outstanding teams including Stefanie Fejes and Jesse Mann, Sarah Nolet and Nicolette Brice as well as Chantal Tung and Caitlin Cockburn.

conditioned course as we’ve played this year,” he said.

“The greens definitely are either the best or tied-best greens that we’ve putted on this year.

“As far as a condition and course set-up point of view, it was as good as you could hope for, it was really good. I can’t see why this wouldn’t be able to host a proper tour event in the future.”

Friday, 18 December, 2020

WHEN you’re hanging on to a lead in a state final but your team of two is relying on you to hit a good drive on the final hole, the pressure can be intense.

It was a situation Max Barraclough found himself in as he stood on the 18th tee during the Keno Let’s Play Ambrose State Final at Bonville Golf Resort.

Playing alongside his Howlong club mate Travis Merrit, Barraclough did admit to a couple of nerves.

“When you have got one drive left, and it’s down the 18th it is pretty difficult,” Barraclough said.

The win was a first State Championship for the 22-year-old and it was still sinking in after the round.

“We don’t have go back ‘til tomorrow so might have a few

drinks tonight,” Barraclough smiled.

The Howlong duo has had a couple of days to remember in the men’s section, returning identical rounds of nett 62.25 for a combined total of four points in the modified accumulation table.

Runners-up were Gunnedah’s Sam Elphick and Michael Smyth who added a 64.25 to their opening 63.25.

Merritt, a former NSW Men’s representative, said he was proud of the performance of his younger charge.

“Max holed a few good putts early yesterday,” he said.

“We got off to a hot start today, seven-under through ten, then came home with eight pars. Max hit the ball pretty well and we got the job done.”

The Sawtell pair of Kate and

Scott Pollard were runners up in the mixed division after adding a 67.25 to their opening 65.5.

They finished behind the Monash pair of Angela Eksteen and Ross Fitzpatrick who held onto their day one lead, adding a 64.25 to their opening 59.25.

Their combined total of three points in the reverse combined point score was more than enough to claim the division.

Sheryl Villapana and Angela Smylie have held onto their lead to take out the women’s division.

The Pacific Dunes pairing added a 67.5 in warm conditions to add to their opening 63.5.

Their combined total of three points was enough to secure the crown by two points from Bermagui’s Maggie Hayes and Lynn Ponsford.

GARDENING AUSTRALIA CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

ABC, 7.30pm

It’s been a long year, but the <i>Gardening Australia</ i> team is looking on the bright side – more people are gardening than ever before. For the last show of 2020, they’re celebrating with a look at what has changed this year. Josh Byrne finds out how the nursery industry kept up with unprecedented demand for vegetable seedlings during lockdown. Looking to the Christmas table, Jane Edmanson discovers what it takes to produce the tonnes of delicious cherries Australia eats every summer, while Sophie Thomson whips up some tasteful decorations.

One of the best things to come out of 2020 for music fans has been getting the band back together for the <i>Spicks and Specks</i> specials.

In this third and final instalment of their decade-themed episodes, Adam Hills, Myf Warhurst (pictured) and Alan Brough relive the music of the 2010s – the decade that brought us flossing, the Harlem Shake and Gangnam Style – with musicians Kate Miller-Heidke and Vance Joy alongside comedians Claire Hooper and Luke McGregor.

Joy demonstrates a knowledge of Taylor Swift in “Know Your Product”, while Miller-Heidke takes the mic for everyone’s favourite game Substitute.

CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT

NBN, 8pm

For the past 82 years, Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl has lit up on Christmas Eve as friends, families and babes-in-arms gather to celebrate Christmas while raising funds for Vision Australia. This year, like almost everything else, the festive institution will look different – there won’t be a live audience to welcome hosts David Campbell (above) and Livinia Nixon to the stage. Instead, viewers are encouraged to join in virtually, using the hashtag #carolsathome to celebrate the spirit of the season with Carols favourites David Hobson, Marina Prior, Silvia Colloca and Silvie Paladino, as well as Eurovision royalty Dami.

Premier League mid-season review

By Aiden BURGESS AS we close in on 2021, the North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League season has reached its midway point.

Here’s how the teams have fared so far this season.

Sawtell: (5 wins. 1 loss.)

The defending premiers have continued their winning ways this season with their only loss coming against Valleys Cricket in a one-day match.

Sawtell won its opening three T20 matches of the season and both it’s two-day matches against Harwood and

Valleys.

Valleys Cricket: (3 wins. 3 losses.) After finishing their debut Premier League season at the bottom of the ladder, Valleys have been the big improvers this season and are the only team to beat the ladder leading Sawtell so far.

Northern Districts Rebels: (3 wins. 4 losses.) The Rebels have struggled for consistency this season encapsulated by runs of both consecutive wins and losses.

Harwood: (2 wins. 5 losses.) The inaugural Premier League champions in 2019, the

team from the Clarence River have struggled to recapture that form this season and need a big turnaround to claim another Premier League title.

Clarence River Cricket Association: (1 win. 1 loss.): The representative side has played two games this season splitting the ledger including a win against Harwood.

North Coast Cricket Council’s Development squad: The squad played its first game recently against Sawtell and are set to play a number of matches in January.

Coffs Basketball champions crowned

By Aiden BURGESS COFFS Harbour’s basketball champions have been crowned during a huge grand final day at Sportz Central.

The Coffs Harbour Basketball Association held the grand finals of its primary, high school, and seniors’ competitions all on one big day of championship basketball.

Paradise Island capped off a dominant season in which they lost only once with an 89-82 win in the men’s A-grade grand final against Hot Wings.

Ash Schellenberger was named most valuable player (MVP) of the grand final.

After setting the benchmark throughout the B-grade season, Braves took out the title with a 4328 victory against White Chocolate.

Casey Alexander was named MVP of the season

decider.

The C-grade grand final saw Bots win the title with a 54-39 win against Sweaty Shower Time, as Timothy McGinniskin earnt the MVP. And Artisti won the A-grade reserve grand final with a 58-24 victory against Run It Back, with Matthew France earning MVP honours.

Let It Rain capped off a stellar season as minor premiers with a 61-48 victory against PINK in the A-grade women’s finale.

Brooke Seccombe was named MVP of the season decider.

Cooee beat The Misfits 32-20 to win the B-grade women’s title, with Kristy Goodman taking out the MVP. Coffs Harbour Basketball Association’s Administration Officer Lisa Fahey said hosting all of the grand finals on the same day had brought

back a previous tradition.

WITH the local rugby scene expected to revert back to its normal Mid North Coast existence in 2021, the Coffs Snappers have reverted to who was supposed to coach them if the pandemic hadn’t hit.

Brendan Hoy will lead the first grade team with Greg Wilson standing right next to him on the sidelines.

The two Robs, Waddy and Denne will be in charge of the reserve grade side while Chris Martin and Brett Chapman will be passing on their knowledge to the under-18s.

The club is saddened though as the women’s coach for 2020, Rick Murray,

recently passed away.

Brendan Hoy said the Snappers can look forward to familiarity next season.

“It’s the same set-up as last season before COVID hit,” Hoy said.

“All the senior coaches are back on board except for the women's team which is really sad for everyone.

We’ve got a few feelers out at this stage to see who will be coaching the women next year.”

Hoy said early indications suggest the Snappers will again be a strong club next year.

“Numbers wise we’re looking good but I suppose that doesn’t mean a thing until the first official training session on 19

January,” he said.

“We’ll be hoping we can add a few backs to the list.

Our forwards look really solid but our backs, we need to add to our depth there.

“We’ve also got some good juniors coming through. There are about four or five from the under-18s that are quality footballers.”

Plans are also afoot at the Snappers to make a big splash after the 2021 season.

The club aims to host a Sevens tournament in October and Hoy said the club has big plans for it.

“We’re hoping for that to be one of the biggest in Australia,” he said.

after their finals as games built up to the A-grade men’s final and the place would be packed,” she said.

“Obviously we couldn’t do that with COVID this time round but I think we will try again next year.

“There was a great atmosphere and a good vibe, it’s just a pity we couldn’t fill all the seats.”

Roar draw with Jets in wet

By Brad GREENSHIELDS FOR a so-called friendly, the pre-season match between the Newcastle Jets and the Brisbane Roar played at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium had a bit of feeling in it.

On a few occasions the referee was forced to blow his whistle or issue a yellow card to settle the players down.

Jets CEO Lawrie McKinna said the niggle showed both sides took the match seriously as the A-League season rapidly approaches.

“There were handbags at ten paces a couple of times out there.

“There were a couple of swinging hands and a bit of fight out there which was good and some big tackles,” McKinna said.

"So I think overall both coaches would be very, very happy with the hitout."

Played in wet conditions after Coffs Harbour received more than 155mm of rain in the 24 hours prior to kickoff, the fact the match went ahead at all was a credit to the ground staff at Coffs Harbour’s

premier sporting facility.

When the action did get underway in front of 1,478 spectators, both sides provided some entertaining football on a good pitch.

In the 15th minute Brisbane opened the scoring when lax marking saw Alex Parsons allowed to take a short pass in space before turning on his left foot and shooting from outside the 18yard box and hitting the top left corner.

Seven minutes later Newcastle equalised when Nikolai Topor-Stanley headed into the bottom left corner after being left unmarked at the back of the group of players when Jason Hoffman

hooked in a free kick from outside the penalty area.

There were several opportunities for both sides to take the lead but the Roar and Jets were forced to settle for a 1-all draw.

Considering Newcastle had the better of the play in the first half and Brisbane looked more likely to score in the second, the draw was probably a fitting result.

Roar captain and goalkeeper Jamie Young said the contest was just what both teams would’ve been looking for.

"It was a good hitout from both teams, very competitive,” he said.

“I think there were a lot of challenges thrown in there, both teams gave a good account of themselves and we'll both take positives from it."

The Bellingen Eel Fishing Championships has been part of the valley for two generations with kids of the original kids trying to out-fish their parents.

This catch and release competition was a real hit, with 8 year old Joe Moore of Urunga snagging the winning Eel and the very first Australian Record at 7.6kg.

He was the first recipient of the Waterhole Wal Perpetual Trophy as Eel Fishing Champion.

Over the years many local kids have fished their hearts out to try and get their hands on the prestigious Waterhole Wal Trophy.

There was plenty of encouragement along the way with plenty more “eel shaped” trophies on offer for the Biggest Eel each day of the week-long competition.

The Australian Record was beaten a few more times over the years, however it was blown out of the water

by Jai Tennant in 2009, with a monster Eel weighing 11.65kg.

That record still stands today.

All good things must come to an end and it’s with much sadness that Waterhole Wal says ‘adios’ to his young fishing mates and puts the competition to rest.
