AFFORDABLE housing, clean waterways and catchment areas, waste management and controlled growth of the metro area are just some of the issues high on the agenda of the new Coffs Harbour City Council sworn in at a ceremony at the Botanic Gardens on Thursday, 10 February.

Also on the councillors’ bucket lists were the need for a regional Athletic Centre, dealing with the impending highway bypass, streamlined

Lofty Ambitions As New Council Sworn In

q New Mayor Paul Amos tries on the official robe at the Botanic Gardens swearing in ceremony.

FROM Page 1 development applications processes, the completion of the Coffs Jetty upgrades and a more open, effective and transparent Council.

“We need to ensure that we work together effectively as a new Council,” said Cr Tony Judge, to present a “united front to other levels of government”.

The new Council headed by brand new Mayor Paul Amos comprises Jonathan Cassell, Rodger Pryce, Tegan Swan, Julie Sechi, George Cecato, Scott Wolgamot, Tony Judge and Sally Townley.

Cr Townley was elected Deputy Mayor at Council’s first sitting of 2022 shortly after the swearing-in ceremony in a secret ballot at Council Chambers.

With decades of cumulative experience across industry, government, education, real estate and not-for-profits the new council faces the new year confronted by a unique set of challenges as the community steadies itself for recovery post-COVID. Cr Sechi said two key areas of focus for the new team are “continuing the transformation of the Foreshores” and resolving the region’s waste issues.

“The export of our waste to QLD (is) not a sustainable solution,” Cr Sechi said.

“2022 will be a year of (Councillors) learning from each other and understanding each other’s views and aspirations for the Local Government Area,” said Cr George Cecato.

Meanwhile Cr Cassell said progress on housing affordability was among the priorities Council faces.

“I'd also like to see us take active steps in Council to publicly declare we are facing a climate emergency,” he said.

Council GM exits after eleven years

By Paul FOGARTY

AT their first meeting of 2022 Coffs Harbour’s freshly sworn-in nine member Council voted to conclude the employment of eleven-year General Manager Stephen McGrath, effective immediately.

A statement released by Council said the cessation of Mr McGrath’s employment was by “mutual agreement” with Mr McGrath.

The Council statement quoted Mayor Paul Amos saying, “We sincerely thank Mr McGrath for his dedicated service over the past eleven years.

“The achievements under his leadership are considerable; however we feel that a different style of leadership will be more suited at this time.”

According to Council, Mr McGrath had “led the implementation and delivery of a number of significant programs and projects over his time as General Manager”, including structural reform delivering Council financial sustainability, stages one through five of the Jetty Foreshores revitalisation and redevelopment program and significant C.ex International Stadium redevelopments.

Mr McGrath was also recognised for his involvement in major community events, profitable commercial activities of Council, Wilgulga Sports Complex, Yarrila Place and the Coffs Harbour Airport Enterprise Park development.

The statement from Council said Mr McGrath had “indicated he was extremely proud of Council’s community response through the bushfires, floods and COVID-19” and wished the new Mayor and Councillors “all the best in managing a sustainable future for the Coffs Harbour community”.

The General Manager position will be filled temporarily by Chris Chapman with recruitment for a new General Manager to commence immediately.

“In addition, Bonza’s route map will connect the Coffs Coast to a number of destinations in North Queensland through the Sunshine Coast Airport.

In October last year, Bonza announced it was taking to Australian skies and promised not to fly the golden triangle between Australia’s three largest cities.

“As someone who calls Coffs home, I know first-hand how important it is for people in our regions to have more choice when it comes to their next holiday.

COUNCILLOR Sally Townley has been elected Deputy Mayor of Coffs Harbour City Council by her fellow Councillors at the first meeting of the new Council.

“I’m thrilled and honoured to be selected to be Deputy Mayor of this incoming Council,” Sally told News Of The Area.

won't always agree on things, but I really strive for consensus decision-making, and I think that has been one of my strengths on Council over the past ten years.”

Having come from a background in environmental science, Sally says is passionate about seeing Coffs retaining its amazing biodiversity.

“Some aspects of the environment are under threat, especially our creeks and waterways.

“We are seeing consistently high levels of pollution, much of which has come from rapidly-expanding horticultural industries.

“I think Council has a clear role to play in helping balance farming with environmental protections and I would like to see Council work with other agencies to get this right.

“The role of Council has changed a lot in recent years, and I would like to see Coffs break new ground by tackling the issue of affordable housing.

“We have a lot of tools at our disposal, and I will be pushing for investment in this area.

“One of the other major focus areas is waste.

YOUR AWARD WINNING BUTCHER...

“As a Council we have taken our eyes off the ball and urgently need to develop new strategies and approaches. “Waste is everyone’s problem, but we need to start thinking of it as a resource.

“We need to work with neighbouring Councils, waste service providers, innovators, social enterprises and visionaries to maximise recovery of resources from our waste stream.

“This is possibly the biggest challenge of all facing us, but I really think this new team will give it our all.”

Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos said, “I’m delighted that Cr Townley has become the first Deputy Mayor of our new Council.

“We have a team that combines experience and fresh ideas and I’m very optimistic that we will be making some significant progress for our community.

“I’m looking forward to working closely with Cr Townley in her new role.”

Sally Townley will serve a seven-month term as Deputy Mayor until September 2022.

The usual length of time served by a Deputy Mayor is 12 months beginning every September, but this was disrupted in 2021 by the postponement of the Local Government Elections until December.

Social housing needed to end NSW mid north coast affordability crisis ACCORDING to Everybody’s Home, the national campaign to end homelessness, Australia’s underinvestment in social and affordable housing is worsening the housing affordability crisis on the NSW Mid North Coast and aggravating the cost to other areas of the Federal Budget.

SQM Research data shows rents for all houses and property prices have surged across the region over the past twelve months.

• In Port Macquarie, rents have increased by 18.6 percent and property prices have climbed by 39.8 percent • In Coffs Harbour, rents have increased by 25.1 percent and property prices have climbed by 16.3 percent • In Kempsey and Crescent Head, property prices have skyrocketed by 53.2 percent • In Bellingen, property prices have increased by 31.8 percent; and • In Nambucca Heads, property prices have increased by 10.3 percent.

An Everybody’s Home Budget position paper, released last Friday, says at least 25,000 new social housing dwellings are needed across Australia to help end the crisis.

The Budget Position Paper includes previously unreleased modeling which shows underinvestment in social housing is causing foregone public sector cost offsets and private sector benefits of

Coffs Harbour City Council’s Event Funding is now accepting applications for events planned to run between July 2022 - June 2023.

$676.5 million per annum currently, rising to $1.286 billion per annum in 2036.

These take the form of added costs addressing homelessness, mental health, domestic violence, alcohol/substance abuse, but also reduced household spending and lower community wellbeing.

The submission also notes that constructing 25,000 social homes per year would generate an annual economic output of $12.9 billion, and create 15,700 jobs.

The paper makes the case for expanded social and affordable housing, to give people on low and modest incomes greater housing choice.

It also notes the steep decline in federal funding for social and Indigenous housing which in 2013-14 was over $2 billion, but is only budgeted at $1.6 billion in 202324. Indexed for inflation it should be $2.7 billion.

In 1994, social housing made up six percent of all housing.

Today it is just four percent.

Kate Colvin, national spokesperson for Everybody’s Home, said an investment in social housing was urgent and worthwhile.

“A secure home is the foundation for

stability and security.

“It means you can look after your health, tend to your family, join the workforce and contribute to society.

“Without a home, none of these things are possible.

“As our leaders put the final touches on the Budget, they need to be aware of the full benefit of social housing as well as the deep human cost of not providing people with a home.

“The surging rental and property markets are swallowing up ever larger chunks of household budgets.

“Some regions of Australia, such as Tasmania, or the NSW and Queensland coasts have seen rents surge more than 20 percent.

“This is not just breaking family budgets, it’s pushing families into homelessness.

“Australia’s common prosperity is best served by a housing system that gives people on low and modest incomes genuine choice and provides them with security and stability. The increasingly brutal financial contest for housing is simply indecent.

“We can do better.”

teachers and community members to get along and take a look at this year’s showcases and to celebrate their incredible work,” Ms Mitchell said.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said it was a great opportunity for local young people to have their achievements, creativity and innovation shared with the local and broader community.

“Our young people should be extremely proud of what they have achieved – not only completing the HSC in a year like no other, but producing work of such high quality,” Mr Singh said.

“To see their work up on display should fill them with pride and confidence – it is no small feat to be included in an HSC Showcase.”

Further information on the showcases is available at https://educationstandards. nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/about/ events/hsc-showcases-and-events.

Coffs Coast HSC Showcases Make The Grade SIX Coffs Coast high school age creators and innovators from three different local schools figure among the top students state-wide in the 2022 HSC graduate showcases in visual arts, performing arts and technologies.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the Coffs Coast students were part of only 260 HSC graduates to have been selected from across the state to be featured in the HSC showcases.

The six Coffs region HSC ambassadors are Liana Marie Cook (Coffs Harbour Christian Community School), William Mackie (Bishop Druitt College), James Thompson (Coffs Harbour Senior College), Connor Duncan McMillan (Bishop Druitt College), Francoise Dik (Coffs Harbour Senior College) and Amy Leigh Knott (Coffs Harbour Senior College).

Book in for Bellingen’s bookie festival

By Andrea FERRARI

IT’S that time again – Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival (BRWF) has confirmed its 2022 dates and planning begins.

Adam Norris, Head of Festival Programming told News Of The Area, “Last year the Bellingen, Nambucca and Coffs Harbour LGAs were awash with some of the best literary talent the country has to offer.

“The BRWF Schools Program reached more schools and students than ever before, while the festival itself enjoyed record crowds and sold-out sessions.

“Now, in 2022, the June 10 – 12 Queen’s Birthday long weekend will see an even greater cavalcade of authors and special guests arrive in Bellingen, for the Bellingen Showground event.

q Barrie Cassidy chats with Jess Hill. Photo: Jay Black.

“Expectations have been high given the wild calibre of past talent, including the Good News Week team, Bob Brown, Rhoda Roberts, Craig Silvey, Julian Burnside and many more.

“The 2022 line-up has yet to be revealed – curse those crafty festival folk, building up the anticipation - but already there is a variety of ways to be involved.

“Volunteer applications have opened, so if rubbing shoulders with your favourite author sounds like a fine way to spend a weekend, head on over to the BRWF website for more information.

“The best way to get to know one of our guests, however, is to throw open your doors and welcome them with open arms (and a fluffy pillow).

“Billet applications are open, so if you are the proud owner of a self-contained flat/ studio/hilltop castle/rustic cabin that is located within Bellingen, we would love to

“The Poetry Slam returns, our good friends at Sanctus Brewery are back with a fancy upgraded bar area, while the best food and coffee in the land will be available right in the heart of the festival.

“We’re also upping the ante by introducing our expanded Local Author Marquee.

“We’re even upgrading our live music stage for a free showcase of our region’s outstanding performers across the whole weekend.”

Coffs Book Warehouse continues its relationship with the event as BRWF’s Official Bookseller.

Excellence in Aboriginal Tourism that’s BMNAC q Excellence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tourism saw Coffs win Gold for its Giingan Experience.

By Andrea FERRARI

“STOKED” is how the team at Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation (BMNAC) in Coffs Harbour feel about winning Gold for their Giingan Experience in the Excellence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Tourism category in the recent NSW Tourism Awards.

The category also saw Bronze being taken out by local Wajaana Yaam Gumbaynggirr Adventure Tours, Coffs Harbour.

Proud Gumbaynggirr man Clark Webb, who set up BMNAC in 2010, is the corporation’s CEO and is founder of the Wajaana Yaam Gumbaynggirr Adventure Tours business.

Clark’s founding mission was to build awareness and appreciation of the Gumbaynggirr traditions and provide employment,

education and pathways for the young Aboriginal community living on Gumbaynggirr Country.

“On these tours we reiterate the importance of our culture and the importance of revitalising the language and knowledge of our old people.”

A BMNAC spokesperson shares more on the awards and what they mean to the two businesses.

“Both tour experiences are 100 percent Aboriginal run, we use only Aboriginal guides on our tours which means we are an important employer in Coffs Harbour for Aboriginal people.”

“BMNAC does a lot of training with young people in Coffs Harbour, the kids come through our training programs and gain employment with us in the café and tours.”

While entering awards is a lot of admin and time-

consuming paperwork, there’s a silver lining, management states.

“Entering the awards gives us the opportunity to go through all our business processes, reflecting back on our business and products.

“At the end of it, I had a list of what we currently do, how we do it, what we need to improve on and other things we can do.

“Our experiences are products – going through the awards application process shows us where we can build on these offerings.”

For example, becoming Eco Tourism certified many years ago.

“With our mission, Caring for Country, it was a no-brainer to have Eco certification.”

The awards also bring recognition to the rich Aboriginal history and culture that is strong in

this area, and around NSW, which goes understated.

“A lot of people across international and domestic Australian travellers think there is not a lot here, so when they come on tour, we can show them how much is here and how much people are still practising and telling old stories and using language. q Gold awardwinner Giingan Experience by Bularri Muurlay Nyanggan Aboriginal Corporation, Coffs Harbour.

q Bronze winner was Wajaana Yaam Gumbaynggirr Adventure Tours, Coffs Harbour.

“I think it’s a really good education for the wider community.”

Looking ahead for the Giingan Experience and for Wajaana Yaam Gumbaynggirr Adventure Tours, operators say they “will be continuing on the journey of refining our offerings, adding more value to our products, getting more Gumbaynggirr language speakers in Coffs Harbour, and continuing what we are doing”.

BMNAC’s planned Eco Resort, currently in early stages, is the organisation’s biggest project in its tourism division.

“We are planning to have, hopefully this time next year, the first Aboriginal owned Eco Resort in NSW. “The Eco Resort will

complement our tours and will be the hub that our tours will come out of.

“For Wajaana Yaam Adventure Tours it will be more of the same, adding value to our products.

“We really want to do some night tours, we’re using a lighting system to facilitate that, and we’re linking up with some other local Aboriginal businesses to create new tours.

“We are continuing to train up more young Aboriginal guides.”

AN article in News Of The Area about a development application in Crossmaglen Road, Bonville, prompted Robyn Thomson to write to the editor to alert readers that the development application involved Crown Land.

According to Ms Thomson, approximately two hectares of the land proposed in the subdivision is a kilometre long, 20m wide public Crown Land Road that links Bakker Drive Reserve to Crossmaglen Road.

She wrote that the Coffs Harbour City Council approved an 8-lot development for the site in three stages on 11 April 2019, negotiating with the developer for a six metre fire trail along the existing Crown Land which incorporated a cycle/bridle trail maintaining an existing link from Bakker Drive Reserve to Crossmaglen Road.

Ms Thomson wrote that local residents supported this but the new subdivision proposal proposes lots, roads and fire trails, which appears to make public access impossible.

She wrote that it seems that the public land will be incorporated into the development’s lots, resulting

CHH

in a loss of a valuable asset to the community.

Ms Thomson said, “This property links the Crossmaglen and Bonville valleys, and has been used by local residents for years, and we need the link preserved for people to continue to connect with nature, community and schools.”

35 objections to the development application have been registered on the Planning Alerts website and are virtually all about the land’s value as a wildlife corridor, and the impact of land clearing and domestic cats and dogs on native animals.

Neighbours have written that they are devastated that clearing has already begun.

Newly-elected Coffs Harbour City Councillor Jonathan Cassell has visited the site and is concerned about both the issue of the land being a koala corridor helping to connect Bongil Bongil National Park to the escarpment and the loss of community amenity.

He said that, if new land is to be released for development, protecting the migration routes for koalas should be a priority.

Cr Cassell said. “As a Council, we need to be clear about how Crown Land is

managed in the broader community interest.”

The applicant contacted News Of The Area with a detailed response to the issues raised.

He said he has addressed relevant planning issues in the development application, particularly with respect to environmental concerns.

The applicant also outlined his negotiations concerning the Crown Land with relevant authorities and the neighbouring community over a number of years and disputes the claims of neighbours about usage.

The development application is still in progress.

q Locals are objecting to loss of wildlife and public access.

Lovebirds win $76,000 FORGET flowers and chocolates, a Coffs Harbour couple celebrated their Valentine’s Day like no other – winning more than $76,000 in Keno.

The local players held a Keno Classic 8 Spot winning entry in draw 333, drawn Sunday 13 February 2022.

Their total prize was $76,367.50.

The winning pair admitted their heart skipped a beat when they scored the

prize.

“We decided to go out for dinner last night (Sunday) for an early Valentine’s Day treat,” the winning woman explained.

“We went and ordered some dinner and played some Keno while we were waiting.

“I was watching the draw, but at first, I thought I’d only matched seven numbers which I was stoked about.

“But then it flashed up

on the screen that someone had won $76,000, so I checked the numbers again and sure enough, they all matched.

“These numbers are very special to me, so I instantly knew I’d won when I checked them again.”

The winning couple plans to use the prize money to buy a caravan to travel the country together, and to spoil their children and grandchildren.

Their winning entry was purchased at Park Beach Bowling Club.

Park Beach Bowling Club CEO Thane Duncan said the entire team was delighted for the winning lovebirds.

“It was so exciting when the win went off.

“To hear that the couple won while celebrating their Valentine’s Day is just so lovely as well. We’re stoked for them!”

Wayne receives Police Bravery Award

By Andrea FERRARI

KORORA local Wayne Brown is being honoured with a District Commander’s Certificate of Appreciation following an incident where he entered a burning home.

Wayne was nominated for the award by the Coffs/Clarence Police District Awards Committee.

Sharing his story, Wayne told News Of The Area, “It was a Sunday afternoon and we were making our way to the C.ex Club in Coffs to play the Sunday raffles and had been picked up by the C.ex hospitality bus.

“Heading down the back of West Coffs the driver picked up a passenger and when heading up the hill, we saw straight ahead at the intersection a house was on fire - at this stage just

q Wayne Brown acted on his instinct to help, and ran into a burning house.

billowing black smoke out of the bedrooms.

“I asked the driver to stop as it seemed odd that a bystander was just standing there not doing anything at all which seemed strange.

“I asked the driver to ring 000 then opened up the passenger door, jumped out and ran to the front door yelling out to see if anyone was inside.

“I noticed a wall had just been kicked in which seemed odd again.

“I went inside to the lounge, no one answered me, so I walked out and within a couple of metres of leaving the house, the fire exploded, windows blew out and the house was totally engulfed.

“The bystander was still standing there and as I approached, he started walking away.

“When firefighters arrived, they happened to find several kittens who had survived in the laundry.

“I had a good description of the bystander which I gave to the police a couple of days later and as a result they found him, and he was arrested for arson.”

Once Wayne had returned to the bus, everyone carried on to the club not really thinking anything of it as no one was hurt.

“In hindsight it was just the natural thing to do - I didn’t think twice about entering the house - it's just what you do,” said Wayne.

Superintendent Steve Clarke will be presenting Wayne with his award from Coffs/Clarence Police District at the presentation ceremony on Wednesday 23 March 2022 at Coffs Harbour C.ex.

‘Help the Helper’ Grants Announced

By Paul FOGARTY

ROUND two of the State Government’s Empowering and Supporting Local Communities program have been announced with more than $80,000 in assistance awarded to three Coffs Coast organisations.

Member for Coffs Harbour

Gurmesh Singh has welcomed the funding to support vulnerable people and multicultural communities on the Coffs Coast.

Mr Singh said the grants are awarded for grassroots community projects helping those in need.

Anglicare North Coast, for their Coffs Multicultural

Hub COVID Support, was awarded $30,000 as was the Community Transport Company for accessible transport for COVID vaccination and resilience services.

Mission Australia Housing’s Coffs Coast COVID-19 Response Action Coalition was awarded

$22,700.

“Our local community is all the richer for the work of these local organisations,” Mr Singh said.

“These grants will help the helpers.

“The funds will support many volunteers in our community who are making a difference in these difficult

staff.

Mary, a Community Visitor, has been visiting Fred at his nursing home for almost two years.

“I really look forward to seeing Fred each week, we get on so well.

“Fred lost his wife just before I met him and was very down.

“Gradually he has been able to find things he enjoys.

“He loves to chat about life on the farm he and his wife ran, and the funny things that happened.

“I get a big smile from him when I walk through the door.

“Each time I visit he greets me with ‘Well, Mary

love, what’s on the agenda today?’”

The Community Visitors Scheme is supported by the Australian Government.

Community Visitors are matched with their own special resident.

They generally spend a couple of hours each week doing any activity they both enjoy, from having a chat, a walk in the gardens, or going out for a cuppa.

“It will be wonderful to have caring community members ready to link with people who have been isolated, once many of the centres begin to open up,” said Jan. If you are interested in offering friendship to a resident in one of our local Aged Care facilities,

times.

“I commend these community groups for their incredible work supporting vulnerable people who have faced unprecedented hardship during the pandemic.”

More than 80 grassroots community projects worth more than $1.8 million have been funded under the latest

round of the Multicultural NSW Empowering and Supporting Local Communities Grants Program.

“These grassroots projects will support our communities as we continue to reopen and re-energise our State,” Mr Singh said.

“We are providing funding to the organisations who know their communities best and are best placed to address their needs on the ground,” Mr Singh said.

Community Visitors - a positive link for seniors

By Andrea FERRARI

COMMUNITY Visitors, for many isolated seniors in aged care settings, are a very welcome positive connection and a bright moment in an otherwise lonesome day.

Jan Gaunt from Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, who coordinates Community Visitor volunteers in Coffs Harbour, is calling for new volunteer applications for Community Visitor partnerships.

“There are a number of older people in Aged Care facilities who are socially quite isolated, many without immediate family or friends

in the area,” Jan told News Of The Area.

“Our local community members, who volunteer as Community Visitors have been amazing throughout Covid.

“When they were unable to visit in person, many found innovative ways to keep in contact with their elderly friend.

“Phone calls, letters, cards, flowers each reminded our senior Australians that someone cared, they weren’t isolated and forgotten.”

One visit a week is a lifeline for some elderly folk who may not see anyone else outside of their nursing home

and interest.

Please contact Jan on 02 6648 3662 on

there are a number of senior Tuesdays, Wednesdays or community members who Thursdays or email cvscoffs@ would appreciate your time chnc.com.au.

Dorrigo brings back Hoof and Hook

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Hoof and Hook competition, a traditional Agricultural Show staple, is back at Dorrigo in the spirit of continuing age-old rural show contests through the year, as Covid disrupts the official Dorrigo Show dates.

The main Show is planned for November 2022, but in the meantime there’s q

plenty of “shows with no show”, as the Dorrigo committee is nicknaming the calendar of events.

“The decision to reintroduce the Hoof and Hook competition to the Dorrigo Plateau after a 30-year hiatus has sparked interest among beef producers and the chance of financial rewards,” Sally Duckett, Dorrigo Show President told

Beef steers in the ring at Dorrigo.

News Of The Area.

Dorrigo’s competition has six classes with entries closing on February 25 via dorrigoshowentries@gmail. com.

The physical ‘on the hoof’ judging takes place on Tuesday 8 March at Dorrigo Saleyards and will be conducted by wellknown Armidale buyer, Tony Menkins.

Judging will commence at 12-noon with winners announced at approximately 1pm.

After the ‘hoof’ competition, steers are sent to be processed and judged ‘on the hook’ based on carcass attributes.

Carcass classes will be judged by special MSA (Meat Standards Australia) graders at Wingham.

Sally says the Show Society has re-introduced the Hoof and Hook as it is an agricultural event that can be run in its own right, when it’s difficult to run a full show.

New Name Avoids Confusion COFFS Harbour City Council has announced it will apply to the NSW Geographical Names Board to have the Woolgoolga Sports Ground officially renamed Solitary Islands Sportsground.

The decision, supported unanimously by the new Coffs Council, was taken “in order to avoid any possible confusion with the nearby Wiigulga Sports Complex”.

“When we applied to the Geographical Names Board

of New South Wales for recognition of the Wiigulga Sports Complex name, they pointed out that the nearby Woolgoolga Sports Ground had never been formally named,” said Dan Heather, Council’s Group Leader City Prosperity.

“The Board also highlighted a possible issue over identifying the correct location in an emergency because of the similarities between the two names and their proximity on Solitary Islands Way,” Mr Heather said.

“In response, we consulted the Woolgoolga Sports Council and agreed the most appropriate naming for the Woolgoolga Sports Ground should be based on an obvious geographical reference and be renamed Solitary Islands Sportsground,” Mr Heather said.

Councilors endorsed the move and an application to the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales for official recognition of the Solitary Islands Sportsground is to be made.

“It is also a good learning tool for producers, especially younger ones, to better their product.

“Hoof and Hook competitions are still very popular and many major industry activities, such as Beef Week celebrations, have them.

“I wish to thank sponsors who have been very generous and encourage producers to enter the competition.

“There will be first, second and third prizes for each pen of three on the Hoof and also Hook in each weight division.

“Steers and heifers will be judged separately,” she said.

“A lot of producers have commented that Hoof and Hook competitions are good learning tools for them as it lets producers know fat coverage and distribution of fat on the animals that they breed.

“Producers are encouraged to pick out their best calves and keep them on good pastures in readiness for the competition.”

Local Environmentalists Hope For Koala Action

By Andrew VIVIAN

MANY people have welcomed the news that Federal Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley has designated koalas as an endangered species in NSW, Victoria and Queensland.

Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said the Mid North Coast proudly boasts one of the largest koala populations of any electorate in the country but to see them now officially registered as endangered is concerning.

Mr Conaghan said there have been multiple rounds of government funding at both a state and federal level dedicated specifically to the Cowper koala population as well as generous contributions to their conservation from non-government sources made to the koala hospital, and he is confident that this will continue.

Mr Conaghan said the $50 million of federal funding announced at the end of January will go towards restoring koala habitat, improving

understanding of koala populations, supporting training in koala treatment and care, and strengthening research into koala health outcomes.

“I look forward to seeing the direct benefit to Cowper given our koala credentials and the importance our region plays in their overall population numbers,” he said.

Spokesperson for the Great Koala National Park (GKNP) Committee, Kevin Evans, said that evidence has been mounting for years to support the conservation status change.

He said the reasons for the dramatic decline of koalas are complex, but major factors are the significant weakening of land clearing laws in NSW in favour of development and big agriculture, unsustainable native forest logging, devastating bushfires and an absence of a national approach to koala conservation management.

Mr Evans points out that koalas were listed as vulnerable in NSW and Queensland in 2012 and in

those 10 years, the Federal Government has done little to halt the decline in koala numbers.

He said that the $50 million and the endangered listing need to go beyond announcements.

Mr Evans said that the Federal Government must work with State Governments to implement a national Koala Conservation Strategy that strengthens legal protections for koalas and their habitat, including ending native forest logging and establishing a network of protected areas identified as important for koala conservation.

Actions to support this include the declaration of an intention to create the Great Koala National Park to protect the largest population of koalas in NSW, investing in post logging management of the forest to rebuild conservation values funding conservation connectivity efforts to connect forest habitat between protected areas and private lands, funding land owners to manage

q Local environmentalists say that the Great Koala National Park will greatly facilitate koala conservation.

Mr Evans said, “Time is fast running out for koalas in NSW and without stronger legal protection of their habitat, koalas will struggle to exist in the wild

beyond 2050.

He said that, fortunately, there is an opportunity to test the resolve of State and Federal Governments to save our koalas.

Environmentalists across the Mid North Coast are asking for bipartisan support for the Great Koala Protected Area Bill (2021), when it comes before the NSW Parliament, to provide habitat protection to help

save NSW koalas from extinction.

The Commonwealth could provide policy and funding support to the NSW Government to make this happen as a national priority.

Mr Evans said, “It’s time to put aside entrenched political opposition to koala habitat protection on public lands to save our national icon.”

Junior Life Savers of the Year named

By Andrea FERRARI

TWO of the region’s most promising young Surf Life Saving volunteers were named the female and male Newcastle Permanent Junior Surf Lifesaver of the Year on Sunday 13 February during the North Coast Branch Championships at Sawtell Beach.

Larnie Mordue and Jack Barry, both from Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club, took out the honours.

North Coast Surf Life Saving President Les Pepper

said Surf Life Saving Clubs keep people safe at the beach, but they also help develop future community leaders.

Les said the award process requires entrants to submit a written application and do an interview.

They will now compete for the NSW Junior Life Saver of the Year Award and participate in Surf Life Saving NSW’s three-day leadership development program in Sydney.

“Larnie and Jack are assets to the local Surf Life Saving community,” Les

Pepper said.

“Thanks to Newcastle Permanent’s support, we can recognise and encourage Larnie, Jack and other young people to be future leaders of Surf Life Saving and in the broader community,” he said.

Larnie has introduced friends to life saving and loves helping younger kids at Nippers.

The thirteen-year-old Coffs Harbour Christian Community College student has been a Nipper since the under 7s.

She has already

q Jack Barry and Larnie Mordue named the male and female Newcastle Permanent Junior Surf Lifesaver of the Year.

q Jack Barry and Larnie Mordue with North Coast Surf Life Saving branch President Les Pepper. won gold at the Country Championships.

One of her inspirations is the winner of last year’s Coolangatta Gold, Lana Rogers.

She has volunteered to help kids with autism experience Surf Life Saving and would like to help set up targeted programs for newly arrived refugee kids to gain water safety skills.

“I love inspiring younger kids; this makes me proud because I love to see their smiles at the end of training,” Larnie said.

Jack started Nippers in the Under 6s.

His mum, dad and older

sisters were involved in Nippers so he was keen to get involved too.

The fourteen-year-old St John Paul College student said the board paddling, body surfing and resuscitation skills were fun but important because they could help him to save a life one day.

In his first Country Championships, he won a gold (Buchanan Relay) and a bronze (Wade Relay).

The winner of the 2021 Iron Man Series, including the Coolangatta Gold, Ali Day, is his inspiration.

“The most important activity in Surf Life Saving is patrol, to keep people safe

and make sure they don’t drown,” Jack said.

Newcastle Permanent’s Coffs Harbour lending manager Anita Kleyn presented the awards and said all the finalists were very impressive.

“Newcastle Permanent and North Coast Surf Life Saving have a great partnership because we are both committed to supporting our community,” Anita said.

“With young people such as Larnie, Jack and the other finalists, our Surf Life Saving Clubs and beach patrols are in good hands,” she said.

“Eating by the rainbow, using different coloured

Di Woods, Manager at CHNC told News Of The Area, “Children learn their best when they eat healthy food.

“Children eat around 30 percent of their food at school.

“What is in their lunchbox significantly contributes to their learning both in the classroom and learning healthy eating habits for life.”

Data suggests that with better nutrition students are better able to learn, students have fewer absences, and students’ behaviour improves, causing fewer disruptions in the classroom.

“It is important to introduce children to a variety of food early.

“Introducing a small amount of a new food with food they already like encourages children to try new foods.

Train fire at Nana Glen

By Andrea FERRARI

A GOODS train on fire in Nana Glen at 2am on Monday 7 February saw the local Rural Fire Brigade in action responding to the emergency.

“The train on fire had been brought in to loop Morrows Road; I live nearby so as I drove out to the station I passed it and could formulate a bit of a plan,” Glenn Locke, Acting Captain, Nana Glen RFS told News Of The Area.

“We were also able to get a bit of info from an app that we use.

“The quick-thinking drivers had done a great job isolating the middle locomotive which was on fire, separating off the front and back locos.

“It was pretty obvious to us that it was an electric fire,

q

the battery was on fire.”

There was a lot of smoke and a significant amount of heat.

“It could have gone up, but we got straight into cooling it down fast.

“Fire and Rescue/ HAZMAT crews from Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga arrived on the scene and Coramba RFS did a fantastic job of running things from the roadside, relaying water from town and refilling Nana Glen 1 truck.”

“We worked really well with each other and what was a complex incident ran really well.

“As a crew leader, I follow a standard procedure for incidents that can scale up or down depending on what it is.

“It's just a matter of going through the incident in front of you step by step.

“As long as I keep a cool head the assistance that I need will arrive.”

Another strength the RFS has is the life experience of its volunteers.

Motorcycle Restorers’ Club cheques out

By Andrea FERRARI

THE COFFS Harbour and District Motorcycle Restorers’ Club has donated $500 to the Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed to use as they wish.

With a membership of 230 and growing, The Motorcycle Restorers’ Club had “swelled funds” and the members decided they wanted to give the Men’s Shed a helping hand.

Rob Popplewell, President of The Motorcycle Restorers’ Club, said there’s a synergy between the two clubs.

“Some of our members call our club a Men’s Shed on wheels,” Rob told News Of

The Area.

The surplus funds have come about through increased club membership thanks to a change in vehicle registration.

Rob explained, “With the introduction of the Log book system to the Conditional Registration Scheme for historic vehicles (aged 30 years or older), offering a reduced rate from the normal rego, made the use of conditionally registered bikes more flexible.

“This came in about five years ago and is the reason more people are riding older motorcycles.

“To qualify for the rego,

you have to belong to an accredited club which means our club’s membership has been increasing for a few years.”

The club started in 1982 with nine members, now there’s over 230 members.

“It’s social and keeps old motorcycles on the road and being used and maintained. “‘Restore and ride’ is our motto.

“Most of the members do their own restoration, they share skills and call out if they need parts, that kind of thing.”

They have a club meeting once a month, and ride out three times a week.

There’s the Morning Tea

q Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed members Peter 'Jacko’ Jackson, Secretary Tony Winter and President Chris Hansen with John Farrugia (Motorcycle Restorers’ Club and Coffs Men’s Shed) and Mick Carpenter, Motorcycle Restorers’ Club.

q Omnitae nonetur? Nonectae vita conet latur, cum adipidi sitaquas ride on a Tuesday - a short ride to a local café around Coffs Harbour.

q Motorcycle Restorers gather at Coffs Men’s Shed for the presentation.

“The idea of that was for those with very old bikes who don’t want to take them on very long rides.

“The Wednesday ride is somewhere 30kms, 40kms or 50km out of Coffs Harbour to a cafe, hotel or have a barbeque.

“Sundays is the main ride for those with what you’d call modern old bikes, and we cover a couple of hundred kilometres over the day.”

The club covers the Coffs Coast – with members coming from as far north as Maclean, south to Macksville and west to Dorrigo.

Chris Hansen, President

of Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed accepted the cheque on behalf of his group.

“It’s fantastic,” he said.

“We will use it to further men’s health and wellbeing in Coffs Harbour.

“We will provide whatever they need.

“That’s the basis of the Men’s Shed – all this construction is a sideline, it’s a catalyst to get the conversations going.”

The Motorcycle Restorers’ Club has its rally coming up on May 27 – 29, but that’s another story, another day… watch this space.

Feeling the love on Valentine’s Day FEELING the love on Valentine’s Day, the lady residents at Woolgoolga and District Retirement Village each received a handmade card, created especially for them by children from St Francis Xavier Primary

School.

Sasha Andrews, CEO at Woolgoolga and District Retirement Village told News Of The Area, “The residents certainly felt the love on Valentine’s Day thanks to the amazing school

children in Kindy and year one and two at St Francis Xavier Primary who made handmade cards of love to each and every resident, under the watchful eye and guidance of their teacher Colette.

“And thanks to the wonderful souls from 3 Toes Creations, who run an amazing local coffee cart, and who provided beautiful long stemmed red roses which kindled old romances.

“We at the Village know

“We are all certainly very lucky to live in this beautiful place and be surrounded by such love.

“Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Valentine’s Day and helped ensure that the residents and staff of Woolgoolga Aged Care Centre really felt the love.”

Colette Harris, a teacher at St Francis Xavier Primary, Woolgoolga told News Of The Area, “During a Religion lesson, we talked about how we can share love to others on Valentine's Day. “I asked the beautiful children in Kindy and years one and two to make handmade cards of love for the residents of the Woolgoolga Aged Care Centre.

“There is something so special about the joy a little child can give an elderly person with a surprise drawing,” Colette said.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

By Manny WOOD

No stick for Slick

PAUL and Amy purchased a vacant block of land and are ready to build their new home.

They settle on Slick Homes as their builder.

During the negotiations with Slick Homes, Amy was adamant that the house had to be ready for Christmas the following year.

This timeframe gave Slick Homes fifteen months to build the house.

The parties agreed to and signed a standard building contract.

The terms of the contract included a 200-day handover date, however additional time was allowed for a three week break over New Year, and other time extensions for ‘reasonable’ delays.

Three months prior to the move-in date, the building works stalled.

To get the project up and going, Slick Homes requested Paul and Amy make an advanced payment outside the scope of the contract, to cover its cash flow problems.

It became clear their home would not be ready for Christmas as planned.

Paul and Amy had now spent an additional six months on rent and were incurring storage expenses.

They sought legal advice.

Their solicitor advised them that the standard contract included terms addressing building delays, however the delays were now beyond the contract exceptions, giving rise to compensation payable under the contract by Slick Homes to Paul and Amy. However, the contract schedule that sets out the weekly amount for compensation payments was left blank, and under the terms of the contract if this amount is not specified then the compensation payable by the builder is nil.

Paul and Amy now wish they had instructed their solicitor to review the contract before it was signed, as they have spent over $50,000 in expenses associated with the delay, which could have been the subject of specified compensation and the contract could have given them a ‘stick’ to encourage a timely completion of the build.

Thank you to Anthony Fogarty for his assistance with this column.

If YOU would like a particular issue addressed, please email me at manny@tblaw.net.au or call me on (02) 66 487 487.

DEAR News Of The Area, THE minutes of the December 2021 meeting of the Jetty Foreshores Planning Advisory Committee are now available online and make severely depressing reading for those who see this as a public space.

The Masterplan contained within the minutes proposes an initial 240 residential units and 60 tourist accommodation units, with potentially more to come.

I note the following comments from local

Jasminda

o you have a pressing problem, annoying anxiety or community conundrum? Jasminda Featherlight, our resident roving Agony Aunt, is here to help. Jasminda will be responding to questions from readers. SEND your concerns to Jasminda care of media@newsofthearea.com.au and include your name and suburb.

DEAR Jasminda,

FOR several years now, my husband's nanna Olga has called me Diane, when I've made it clear that my name is Diana.

My husband Dave feels it is too late to correct the problem and now he calls me Diane in his nanna's company, so things aren't awkward.

I feel this is ridiculous.

Why can't he stick up for me and correct her?

Diana M.

Dear Diane,

Respect is earned, not commanded DEAR News Of The Area, I NEED to comment on a couple of points made in the recently published letter from my good friend Darcey Browning (‘Warming Up’, p29, NOTA, Friday 11 February Edition).

Darcey’s respect in the community is large and derives from a lifetime of work and service.

While many people will disagree with his ideas, thinking people know that he articulates these ideas intelligently and honestly, and shows respect to opposing points of view.

He even accepted my gift of The Saturday Paper once!

However, I disagree with his statement that “... our elected leader should command respect”.

I believe respect is earned – not commanded.

Our present PM has presided over a government exhibiting a level of dishonesty never before seen in Australia.

Think…a short list.

Sports rorts, carparks rorts, Airport land

sale rort, Robodebt, nobbling of the ABC… Think…serial rogue MP’s that the PM refuses to sack: George Christensen, Barnaby Joyce, Andrew Laming, Craig Kelly, Christian Porter.

The persistent avoidance by both parties of a Federal version of ICAC is entirely understandable.

You go on to worry about government control of the balance of power?

This is precisely what we need – except I’d call it the balance of reason.

We can never have honesty in a party system where elected members are beholden to the ‘party line’ and the party line is dictated by big business.

Nationally, we have a field of strong independents in the next election and the best thing that could happen is for a strong crossbench to hold each of the main parties to account.

Respect for all politicians may then start to recover ?

Over to you Darcey!

Regards, Roger BURKE, Bellingen.

JUST kidding. Dear Diana.

Names are very important and the least that people can do is to get our names right.

A name is a significant part of our identity and many of us have been named after well-known personalities or relatives.

A name, unless it is one of those newfangled ones where the parents are just asking for trouble -- Alchemy, Stardrop and Anomaly spring to mind -- is as much a part of us as our hair colour or our accent.

Admittedly there are people who change their names, but you seem quite happy with yours, so of course you want others to get it right, even if they are a forgetful (or maybe sly) granny.

What do you call this woman?

If you call her nanna, maybe you could start calling her naan (like the bread) and see if it bothers her.

This would be a good way to lead into the conversation.

If you call her Olga, perhaps you could change it to Ogle and then wink at your husband in a 'you started this, but I'm going to finish it' way.

Then call him Dove, just to bring the point home.

I think the issue will be cleared up very quickly.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Abject Betrayal of the Coffs Harbour Community politicians throughout the planning process Andrew Fraser - “It is critical we ensure the community’s views are at the heart of any future development plans for Coffs Harbour.

Melinda Pavey - “I am committed to keeping the community at the centre of this project through broad, inclusive consultation and the formation of this committee is another example of our resolve to empower the local community to help shape the future of the foreshore.”

Melinda Pavey and Gurmesh Singh joint press release - “It is important to iterate there is nothing set in stone. The Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore Draft Concept Plan will be determined by and for the community.”

In 2018 GHD undertook community consultation in relation to what people

24 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

wanted at the Foreshores.

In a ranking of desired outcomes, hotels and tourist accommodation ranked 26th out of 33.

Residential buildings did not even make the list.

On that basis how have we possibly arrived at the depressingly bleak plan we have been presented with for what is regularly described as the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the local area?

With regards to the current Masterplan shown in the December minutes, Gurmesh Singh commented saying, “It appears the draft Masterplan is striking the right balance of development and may provide for complimentary public domain improvements spread across the whole foreshores.”

media@newsofthearea.com.au

So Mr Singh thinks that it is OK for the wealthy to come down and establish an exclusive enclave and then the Government will build a few walks and swings etc for the rest of the community.

Well done Gurmesh!

This community has been betrayed first of all by the three politicians I have quoted above and quite possibly by the hand-picked members of the project steering advisory committee.

I would now ask those on the committee, do you believe the recently released plan conforms with your understanding of what the local community has indicated is its desired outcome and how did you arrive at this conclusion?

Regards, Bruce WEIR, Coffs Harbour.

Although the resolution at the Grafton public meeting calling for a petition to commute Friske’s sentence was lost, one was created anyway, ‘extensively’ signed and forwarded to the Governor by steamer on Sunday 6 December.

In the meantime, Friske was visited by the captain and lieutenant of the Salvation Army, however he was not interested in talking to them.

One newspaper article reported the condemned man Friske “still seems quite

unconcerned as to his fate”.

On receipt of the petition, a special meeting of the Executive Council was held at the Colonial Secretary’s Office on Wednesday, 9 December to consider it and after some deliberation, the Executive decided there was no reason to alter Friske’s death sentence and his hanging would take place in two days’ time.

When Friske was informed of their decision that same day, his ‘stolid indifference’ gave way to refusing any food, aside from a cup of tea on the morning of his execution.

One of the gaol’s chaplains attempted to

give him care and attention, although there was doubt this was beneficial due Friske’s ‘imperfect English’.

He did not make any statements and appeared fearless as he was led out to the scaffold and executed at 9:11 am, his death instantaneous.

One month after Friske’s execution, his selection on portion 28, consisting of 60 acres, was sold and was later purchased

by Alex McKay. The property was bounded in the north by the railway line and in the south by Bray Street.

Its eastern boundary aligned with Namoi Place (off Taloumbi Rd), while its western boundary aligned with Diane Close (off Bray St).

Planting trees for an extinct species DEAR News Of The Area,

IN response to the recent letter ‘Simplistic Thinking on Koala Protection’ (p29, NOTA, 11 February Edition), this is absolutely right.

Planting koala trees expecting koalas to come is not the answer.

It is complex but cutting out the koala trees where koalas still cling on, is certain extinction.

We must recognise logging causes both loss or modification of koala habitat where they still are. This habitat must be protected now.

Koala Protection DEAR News Of The Area,

IN reply to the comments made by W Duesdbury (‘Simplistic Thinking on Koala Protection’, p29, NOTA, 11 February Edition), the koala has been just listed as Endangered.

Two steps away from extinction.

Fact.

Conservation groups locally are asking for the cessation of native forest logging in state forests. I have been in these forests post logging and seen the aftermath.

The enormous bulldozers are indiscriminate and wipe out everything, leaving a ‘moonscape’ with piles of skins and logs.

Selective logging does not happen anymore.

Swathes of forests are flattened along with regenerating rainforest and native forest.

Your thinking of what Kevin Evans and

Tim Cadman do is simplistic.

Their work entails a whole lot more than advocating to plant a tree, which in itself is not a bad thing, first and foremost they advocate to SAVE a TREE. In this case, particularly a koala feed, habitat, rainforest or rare species tree.

I find it rather ignorant to discuss someone's work publicly without knowing what it entails.

Yes you have not seen a koala for four years.

Me neither in doing the annual koala spotting with National Parks in Bongil Bongil.

Until this year.

In that time there were floods and droughts.

Yes there are 52 percent less koalas than in 2002.

Did you know they sleep up to 20 hours a day?

They are hard to see but heard more so.

A Better Future DEAR News Of The Area,

I BECAME worried and frustrated when I read Darcey Browning’s letter (‘Warming Up’, Coffs Coast NOTA page 29, 11 February Edition) extolling the performance of the existing PM and his government and denigrating the Labor party.

Mr Browning is correct in stating that the “bar has been lowered“, not by the Labor party, but by the incompetence and failures of this LNP Government.

Mr Howard Dengate (‘39 reminders of how our Federal Government behave’, p29, NOTA, Friday 11 February Edition) in his letter on the same page has only addressed the tip of the iceberg, when he lists some 39 failures in the misuse of taxpayer money.

The list of failures could extend to the: ● PM’s mismanagement of the bushfire crisis (“PM in Hawaii while the country is burning”, “I don’t hold a hose, mate”). ● The COVID crisis (no initiative or direction on quarantining for which the federal government is responsible; delays, procrastination and mismanagement

Friday, 18 February 2022

of the vaccine rollout; the delays and frustrations in the adoption and rollout of RATS, the Aged Care fiasco). ● No energy policy. ● Embarrassing our reputation and credibility on the world stage (China, France/Europe, Serbia, climate change). ● Mismanaging (by the long held LNP benchmark of Debt and Deficit) the economy. ● The about turn on Electric Vehicles. ● Inability to deliver election promises on the Religious Discrimination Bill, National Anti-Corruption Commission and treatment of women in Parliament, including the recommendations made in the Jenkins Report. ● Managing the disunity within Liberal ranks and the byelection conflicts within his party.

Worst of all is the lack of almost total recognition and commitment to the catastrophic impact of climate change by the PM and the LNP. The unmanaged and uncontrolled onset of global warming will make the COVID pandemic look like a stroll in the park.

Scientific research is necessarily slow but is already showing tree species diversity is a key, that koalas use their forests in a complex way not yet understood and that pushing blackbutt as the dominant species could be bad for koalas (it has a low nutrition and high toxicity for koalas).

We must call a halt to the destruction of our forest and do the science.

If we wait for the science, we will be planting trees for an extinct species.

Regards, Ann COYLE, Written by Susan Harwood.

Yes it is endangered and it has to deal with domestic dogs, feral animals, land clearing, housing developments and road construction.

Nearly 20 percent of NSW koala habitat is in state forest ready to be logged.

It is happening now with huge areas from north and south of Coffs earmarked.

Two weeks ago when I was travelling on the Highway, there were five loaded logging trucks in 30 minutes.

Native forest logging, which includes Koala food trees, needs to STOP. Western Australia is managing to do so.

The Great Koala National Park and Friends of Pine Creek's Forest Bridge Proposal are asking for this as well as converting State Forest to link up corridors so the koala and other animals can travel unhindered to the New England plateau.

Of added interest Bongil Bongil National Park which abuts Pine Creek was listed as an area of Intergenerational National Significance, noted for its healthy koala population.

Back on the topic of ignorance, this

tired health worker was spending a day off holding up a sign to end native forest logging with other FEA members at a ‘Friday for Forests’ event in Nambucca when a red faced redneck goes by yelling out 'get a job!’

Apparently he is a serial heckler but along with Mr Duesdbury’s letter, the lesson of never assume and don’t generalise pops up.

My fellow Fridays for Forests members are either also working or retired.

On a positive note we did a survey to gauge support last November and found that 337 people in one hour indicated, by tooting/waving or thumbs upping, they were with us.

There is community support!

Thanks Nambucca.

With the koala endangered we need to act now and not wait years for a scientific research study while the koalas and the native forests disappear forever.

Regards, A WALLACE, Bonville.

The Government believes that the cost (perceived) of taking effective action is unacceptable. However, it is prepared to spend at least $100 billion buying submarines to combat a less likely threat than climate change.

To save our nation is worth any cost.

Mr Morrison as the PM has found to be lacking as a national leader.

He has no vision, no big picture concept of where this country should be heading, his only focus is on the next election and his own personal popularity (baseball caps, Hi-Vis vests, TV promos and a very visible religious presence while displaying few Christian values).

The PM is acknowledged by his own party of being a compulsive liar, who is ruthless and not to be trusted.

He has demonstrated that he possesses no empathy and poor judgement.

He is an unreliable leader.

I can understand Mr Browning’s frustration and anger at temporarily losing his livelihood by the Whitlam Government’s policy on school milk.

But many of us have also suffered due to implementation of various Government policy.

I lost my career in my 50s and had to go back to Tech College for two years to

retrain and reskill for a new career.

This was due to a Liberal Government initiative.

These career changes are inevitable as we have changing technologies, government business privatisations, government and business restructures, business mergers, overseas sell offs, etc.

Look at our car industry and the job loss there.

The mining industry has no doubt recognised and accepted this and are planning accordingly, as they should, but they are unfortunately being used by the LNP as a political pawn.

If Mr Browning is concerned by our “work ethic now dead in the water” he must recognise that this is not due to a Labor Government, as the LNP has been in power for 20 of the last 26 years.

We all remember the Howard Government middle class welfare.

The current Morrison Government does not need or deserve another chance.

We can measure and judge its performance and we have seen enough.

We need an immediate change of government.

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC, 7.30pm

More than just about gardening and plants, this beloved Aussie stalwart is blooming with a cast of knowledgeable and passionate presenters who obviously live and breathe flora and fauna. After a summer break, Gardening Australia returns with its 33rd season, and it’s a celebration of the New Year.

Lovable host Costa Georgiadis discovers a plantswapping scheme and Jerry Coleby-Williams shows how to grow, harvest and roast your own coffee.

Sophie Thomson (above) walks through a garden that demonstrates how a small-city home can be bursting with life.

Many believe no one can top Grand Designs’ Kevin McCloud. The host and writer of the incredibly longrunning British series, following people building their version of the dream home, has just clocked up 22 seasons. McCloud lives and breathes design, and has a charmingly arrogant persona to boot. It’s the sixth season of this NZ offshoot premiering tonight, and host Chris Moller (right) embodies a laidback, inquisitive attitude, with his series boasting some of the most amazing designs; just quietly, he gives McCloud a run for his money. In this episode, an ambitious couple knock down their Piha beach hut to build something grand, but you can bet it won’t be easy.

This week, the fourth season premieres, and host Marc Fennell promises the questions he flings onto the contestants will be harder and more head-scratching than ever. “This year, the contenders are sharper, the topics are wilder, and the questions are harder,” warns Fennell.

A TROMPE l'oeil mural that brings the ‘old’ town of Urunga back to life has been named as one of the best public art experiences in the nation, as voted by the Australian Street Art Awards judges.

The enchanting Urunga mural by artist, illustrator and printmaker David Bromley has been shortlisted for the 2021 Australian Street Art Awards’ Best External Mural gong.

The essence of the awards is that the artists are using public art to enhance visitor appeal and bolster community pride.

The Australian Street Art Awards are designed to educate travellers about the magnificent array of outdoor art that can be found in every corner of Australia and encourage them to see Australia first.

David told News Of The Area, “When Urunga was

bypassed by the new highway the Department of Trade and Industry made some funds available through Bellingen Council for public art.”

In August 2017, Bellingen Shire Council published an invitation to local artists to participate in two public art projects, and David applied and was commissioned.

Local history and indigenous history were included in the proposal.

This is David’s first mural.

“Most of what you see is made up.

“I have a background in architecture, and I’m told I have a good visual memory and these were assets for this project.

“I researched old photos of Urunga but the buildings as depicted relate to these photos but are not copies of them.

“The Urunga Dispensary is a complete fabrication.

“The Arnold and Co shop uses the same typeface as the original, but my typeface

is set up in Photoshop and is therefore more balanced and elegant than the hand painted shopfront as shown in old photos.

“The typeface on the Post Office is close to the original and the weatherboards were measured from those on the Urunga Museum.

“I researched all the items in the shop windows.

“People recognise the antique kerosene heater hanging from the ceiling, for

example.

“The first person I painted from life was Steve Allan.”

Steve is now the Mayor of Bellingen Shire.

“He was the proprietor of the Urunga Pharmacy at the time so I thought it was fitting that he held a dignified, proprietary pose.

“I hadn’t initially thought of putting locals in the image.”

Including local character Herbie as the centrepiece was a very popular gesture.

q The process of creating the mural intrigues passersby.

www.newsofthearea.com.au And he didn’t mind being made a villain in a ‘Wanted’ poster featured in the mural.

“I warned him that he would hear the same joke about the 500 pound reward every day.

“The faces in the post office are people who I got to know quite well.

“The young Vietnamese girl struck me as very bright, and her grandfather is on the phone behind her.

“Three generations of the Kelly family, the custodians and traditional owners of the land here, are represented in one doorway.”

The painting took far longer than David guessed.

Days could be spent on research or days spent on top of a ladder, wrestling with large sheets of paper which he used to get the lettering right.

“There were some days spent lying down painting somebody’s shoes or the detail at the bottom of the shop fronts.

“I told the onlookers that it was an effective way to reflect on one’s career path.

“Every item in the shop

windows was carefully considered.

“I was having trouble fitting in an image of an antique gramophone, complete with horn, into the shop window.

“A voice over my shoulder said, ‘I’ve got one of those at home’.

“He let me photograph it and told me it was a rare Berliner, which had a horn made of wood.

“There were a lot of Michelangelo jokes.

“Everyone was enjoying what they were seeing and everyone made kind comments to me.

“One amazing encounter was with a white-haired elderly man.

“He read my biography and noticed the London suburb, Hanwell, mentioned.

“During a chat it emerged that he was my old Form Master and history teacher from Drayton Manor Grammar School, Hanwell, London.”

The finals are to be announced in an online ceremony on 4 March.

Sprucing-up history at Bellingen Museum

By Susan KONTIC

BELLINGEN Museum is all spruced-up after a recent refurbishment, with displays that are fresh, bright and easy to access, and with new lighting made possible by a grant.

The spruce-up was undertaken by the museum’s Administrator Mary Humphris and her assistant Anny.

Visitors, teachers and students have all reacted very positively, with many remarking on the enjoyable experience, described by one local as “like a chat with ancestors”.

Bellingen Museum holds a fascinating collection of documents and relics that offer an insight into the

history of the Bellinger Valley from its earliest days.

The area’s first Museum was a display set up in 1963 in a Bellingen shopfront, following the formation of the Bellinger Valley Historical Society in 1962 to research,

collect, preserve, display and to record the history and relics of the Valley and its people.

The current Museum was built in 1983 in the precinct that is also home to the Council Chambers, library

and tourism office, and it houses most of the Historical Society’s vast collection.

Ongoing projects include recording and documenting the histories of the Gumbaynggirr people and the alternative lifestyle

community from the 1970s and 1980s.

Last summer, Mary organised a series of history walks through town in the cool of the late afternoon.

information with extensive local knowledge, but even so she says, “I was surprised at how much I remembered about some of the shops and houses from my childhood.

“I’d be happy to repeat the walks this year if enough people are interested – just pop in and let me know.”

The Museum has no outside funding and is a community-based nonprofit organisation run by volunteers.

Due to a shortage of volunteers, the Museum is open only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am to 2pm; however, new volunteers are warmly welcome and Mary would love to hear from you if you’d like to play a part in local history.

COVID-Impacted School Camps, Music Providers To Get Help

By Paul FOGARTY COFFS Coast businesses adversely affected by school COVID safety measures in late 2021 will soon have access to a new $14 million grant program to help ease some of the impacts.

The grant program, kicking off in late February,

will be available to businesses whose services were badly hit by COVID restrictions in schools during Term 4 of 2021.

The COVID-restrictions’ impacts covered by the grants are aimed primarily at overnight camp providers and music education instructors and services.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the grants are available to local businesses which rely on schools for income and provide educational experiences for students.

Mr Singh said he was “pleased to see the NSW Government step in and support the businesses hit

female president in the organisation’s 40-year history, said their goal was to double the number of women in agriculture’s leadership ranks by 2030.

“We want to see more meaningful change toward gender diversity in the agricultural sector and we know that TAFE NSW is playing an integral role in helping to attract female students and train the next generation of women in the industry.”

TAFE NSW provides women with pathways into a range of agribusiness

careers, reporting 47 percent female enrolments in agribusiness courses.

Bonville local Debbie Perrott completed a Certificate III in Performance Horse at TAFE NSW Taree and is working towards a career as a farrier.

Debbie is passionate about horse rehabilitation and has rehabilitated her own retired racehorse.

“I have always had a passion for horses, and I didn’t realise how much there was to learn about agriculture until I started studying at TAFE NSW. “The course was hugely valuable, the TAFE NSW teachers had real industry experience to pass on as they had all worked in the agricultural sector themselves.”

TAFE NSW Agribusiness Head Teacher Geoff Turner said as NSW’s leading provider of vocational education and training, TAFE NSW was uniquely positioned to arm women with the hands-on, practical skills they need to develop successful careers.

“There are so many opportunities to make a difference in a rewarding agricultural career, and our skills-based courses allow women to hit the ground running in local industries and stay living and working in regional areas,” Geoff said.

“Many of our agricultural sectors across NSW are experiencing major skills

hard by COVID-19 over the past two years – especially ones that provide crucial educational experiences to our students”.

Eligible businesses and not-for-profit organisations can apply for one-off payments equal to 40 percent of their Term 4 decline in turnover compared to previous years.

Grants of up to $15,000 are up for grabs.

Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell said the grants would offer a lifeline for those businesses to refocus on delivering quality programs for NSW school students.

“Camps and music programs give students incredible experiences that create lasting memories and can have a profound impact on their development. We need these businesses to continue to provide this to local students,” Ms Mitchell

said.

“The grants will be available through the Service NSW app and will be easy for the businesses to jump in and apply quickly.

“We want businesses to receive support and be able to get back on their feet as soon as possible.”

Guidelines for the grants will be available in February, with businesses expected to apply for grants in April through their Service NSW for Business profile.

shortages, so there is currently an opportunity to choose from a diverse range of careers.”

TAFE NSW offers basic skill sets in practical skills including shearing and tractor operations

through to advanced farm management qualifications such as the Diploma of Agriculture.

Vet nursing and animal care, wool classing, winemaking, horticulture and landscaping, livestock

farming, food production, and cropping are just some of the other careers women can choose.

Good Sports To Boost Mental Health

By Paul FOGARTY

ALL local sporting organisations can now apply for grants of up to $150,000 to fund activities that provide mental health, resilience and wellbeing benefits to individuals and groups in the region.

The offer is part of a $2.8 million Mental Health Sports program being pushed by NSW Health.

Local sporting bodies can apply for one of two types of grants through the program: the Fast Track scheme for up to $30,000 in funding or the Standard grant for funding from $30,000 to $150,000.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh hopes local sporting organisations will serve up some great ideas for delivering mental health and wellbeing activities through

the program.

“Sporting clubs are the heart and soul of the Coffs Coast, helping to forge strong community ties and a strong sense of place,” Mr Singh said.

According to NSW Health sporting bodies can deliver projects that support the general population or specific priority population groups including Aboriginal people, LGBTQI+ people,

Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) people and individuals with coexisting alcohol and other drugrelated and mental health issues.

Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor said the Government is looking to sporting clubs to inspire people to make their mental health and wellbeing a top priority in 2022.

“These grants

media@newsofthearea.com.au

are intended to take conversations about mental health out of the clinic and into the clubhouse,” Mrs Taylor said.

“We want people talking about how they’re going emotionally and mentally in a setting they are comfortable with.

“Being active can boost your feel-good endorphins, distract from daily worries and is a great way to meet

new friends or catch up with old ones, making it a fantastic remedy for maintaining a healthy mind and lifestyle,” Mrs Taylor said.

Mr Singh said clubs have until March 6 to apply for the grants.

“I strongly encourage local sporting groups to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity, so our region can kick goals both on and off the field,” Mr Singh said.

Coffs Harbour driver wins feature race at Grafton Speedway

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour driver Chris Corbett has won the feature race in his Late Model debut during the latest race night at Hessions Auto Parts Grafton Speedway.

Normally seen behind the wheel of his V8 Dirt Modified, Corbett made his Late Model debut and it was a memorable occasion for him scoring the feature-race win.

Driving in the Tullboro Race Store team car, Corbett took over the lead in the middle stages and from there he was never headed.

At the fall of the chequered flag, Corbett defeated Steve Van Zeeland in second and

Chris Carlish in third.

The latest race night at Grafton Speedway also saw a national champion crowned, with Sydney driver Mitch Isaacs winning the Australian Microsprints title.

It was Isaacs’ record seventh Australian title victory in a memorable race night at Grafton.

Isaacs fought hard throughout the 25-lap Australian title decider with youngster Cody Geddes, where Isaacs, who had started from pole position, set the pace up until he lost the lead to fellow front row starter Geddes on lap 17.

As the laps wore down, Isaacs attempted to wrestle

the lead back from Geddes, which ended in disaster on lap 23, when the pair collided, and Geddes consequently crashed heavily into the wall.

A dejected Geddes emerged from the crash uninjured but the same couldn’t be said about his NSW #76 car.

For the restart, Isaacs restarted back at the front of the field and went on to control the pace in the remaining laps and managed to defeat Andrew Baker and Brendan Hogan in second and third place respectively.

In addition to Coffs Harbour driver Chris Corbett’s win in the feature race, local drivers Andrew

Coffs Harbour Junior Oztag teams take on Australia’s best juniors

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour’s top junior Oztag teams have taken on Australia’s finest during the Australian Junior Championships in Coffs Harbour.

The annual three-day event saw Coffs Harbour Thunder representative sides take on regional rep teams from across Australia.

Casey Cowgill was part of the Coffs Harbour Thunder Girls 16s team who won two of their opening three games.

Last weekend was her fifth national junior championship, having played in two representing her native Sydney and three representing Coffs Harbour after her family moved to the region.

The Thunder player picked out the best moment of her sides’ seven games at the national championships.

“Our first game against

the Sydney Warriors we beat them 4-0 and kept them scoreless,” she said.

“We passed the ball around well, and it was the first time we’d all played together.”

In addition to the Girls 16s, the Coffs Harbour Thunder also entered teams in the Girls 12s, 13s, and Boys 16s competitions.

Coffs Harbour Thunder team manager Mel Cowgill shared with News Of The Area the satisfaction she felt in seeing the Thunder teams represent their region at the national championships.

“Seeing the game grow here has been very satisfying, as when we first came up here from Sydney there were no Coffs Harbour rep teams,” she said.

“Training conditioning doesn't even come close to the fitness needed in a game, and was evident and once again appreciated by all.

“We are getting up to 32 players at training, which means competition for those eleven spots is running hot.

“The lads are really getting behind the idea that we are in this region's premier competition, and can't wait to show the coastal league what our home town has to bring to the league,” said Henry.

“But now our highest has been ten rep teams, so that’s been great.”

Cowgill expressed her pride in how the Coffs Harbour teams had played against the best juniors in Australia.

“To see so many girls come together that haven't played let alone trained together, I can’t ask for any more,” she said.

“We’re going against sides that are well-oiled machines that are picking from four different regions, so there is a bit of an underdog mentality.

“They definitely held their own, so hopefully we can build up for the State Championships here in June and with the girls training more together we will see what we can do.”

Former Coffs Harbour Suns junior part of Australian Opals team

By Aiden BURGESS

FORMER Coffs Harbour Suns junior Kristy Wallace has represented her country in a major international tournament in Europe.

The 26-year-old was part of the Australian Opals team who took part in a recent FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022 Qualifying Tournament in Serbia.

Wallace was part of an Opals team who took on the likes of Brazil, Korea, and host nation Serbia as they prepared for the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022 to be held in Sydney later this year.

As the host nation,

Australia has already qualified automatically for the World Cup but still took part in the recent qualifying tournament in Belgrade.

Wallace played in two of the Opals three games in Belgrade, with her best game coming against Korea where she registered five assists and four rebounds in twelve minutes during the Opals 7961 win.

Wallace made her Opals debut last year as part of Australia’s bronze medal winning team at the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup in Jordan.

The point guard has been playing for the Melbournebased Southside Flyers in the current WNBL season,

where she has been a spark off the bench for the Flyers averaging 9.4 points at an efficient 50 percent from the field and 46.7 percent from three-point range.

It’s been a comeback for the ages for the former Coffs Harbour Suns junior, who suffered her first ACL injury in the final year of a stellar college career at Baylor University, which saw her drafted by the Atlanta Dream in the 2018 WNBA draft.

A lengthy rehabilitation process saw her return to the court for the 2018/19 WNBL season, but as fate would have it, she suffered another injury in just her second game back after her knee reconstruction.

New focus for Kalang River Dragon Boat Club

By Susan KONTIC

DRAGON Boat racing is rich in ancient ceremonial, ritualistic and religious traditions thought to have originated more than 2500 years ago in China.

These days, Dragon Boating is a fast-growing sport in more than 60 countries.

Here on local waterways it’s open to everybody over twelve-years-old, of all abilities and with no previous experience necessary.

In Urunga, Dragon Boating has been based at Atherton Drive for more than fifteen years, starting as a breast cancer survivor group known as the Titivators Dragon Boat Club.

This year the Club formally changed its name to the Kalang River Dragon Boat Club, reflecting a more community-inclusive aspect of its current membership.

Friday, 18 February 2022

The Club has grown into a family-friendly community sporting team, with more than 50 members aged from their thirties to their eighties enjoying an outdoor healthy activity all year round.

In 2021 the Kalang River Dragon Boat Club joined the ‘Good Sports’ Club program, which was created by the Australian Alcohol and Drug Foundation and is Australia’s largest community health sports program.

It is committed to building stronger, safer communities by aiding development of policies and strategies limiting the harm caused by alcohol and drugs in sport.

It also promotes diversity and inclusion, welcoming people from all backgrounds, ages and abilities and making them feel respected.

The Club’s Annual Regatta, held on the first weekend in May, attracts more than 500 competitors

from towns between Gosford and Ballina for a variety of racing events.

The Club has attended events nationally and

Alex Nolan will miss Miller’s presence on the pitch but is delighted regional players are making an impact at the elite level.

“Miller was our NPL player of the year for 2021 for his commitment and dedication to improve both on and off the field.

“He is a very technical player and a natural leader on the field, his voice will be missed in our squads but we wish him all the best for future success.

“At North Coast Football

our goal is to develop players who can go on and play at the highest level so for Miller to take an opportunity to play at Brisbane Strikers is music to our ears.

“With three players leaving us in the off-season to the Newcastle Jets and NPL teams in both Sydney and Brisbane we hope this is just the start for more regional players to have an opportunity to hopefully one day play professional football,” said Nolan.

Sawtell Cricket Club continue unbeaten start to Premier League season

By Aiden BURGESS

SAWTELL Cricket Club has continued its unbeaten start to the North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League season with a five wicket win against Valleys Cricket in their one-day match at Richardson Park.

The win was their third in a row to start the season, with the wins coming in between a number of

washouts.

Valleys Cricket opened the batting against Sawtell and set a competitive total of 4/172 from 40 overs.

Brodie Bartlett produced arguably the finest knock of the season finishing on 111 not out.

Needing 173 for victory, Sawtell reached the winning total with 9 balls to spare and 5 wickets down, with Trent Dierick top scoring on

47.

Sawtell captain Richie Gallichan shared with News Of The Area the importance he placed on each game after his side's rain affected season.

“I’ve been saying to our boys since prior to Christmas that every game is a grand final for us because of what happened at the start of the season with the rain,” he said.

“That was a good run

chase and a big win for us.”

Round 9 of the Premier League also saw Harwood record a dominant sevenwicket win against the Coffs Colts at Harwood Oval.

Sawtell and the Lower Clarence Cricket Association are set to play off for limited overs glory this weekend.

The two clubs meet in the grand final of the North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League’s T20 competition,

scheduled to be held on Sunday at the Coffs Coast Sport & Leisure Park.

The North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League season also continues this weekend with the opening day of two- day matches in Round 10, with Day 2 to be played the following weekend.

Community Football Manager Paul Taylor said that the series represents an outstanding chance for the local girls to show their wares to recruiters.

"This is an unbelievable chance for players with elite ambition to take the next step towards their dream of an AFLW berth – this is their chance to prove themselves against the best.

"Our Northern NSW region has already had three AFLW listed players and we hope that the six players involved in the Summer Series can provide the next wave of local talent to make it to the elite level."

Executive General Manager - AFLW for the Swans, Kate Mahony, acknowledged the critical role the Summer Series will play in unearthing talent.

“It takes a tremendous amount of effort to build a quality list from scratch, and the Women’s Summer Series is bringing NSW and ACT footballers together to compete to be the best,” she said.

By Christine IRVINE THE weekend of 6 February saw our District winning Grade 1 Pennant team, travelled to Cabarita to compete in the Regional Championships.

Travelling with them was a large group of supporters, as well as best wishes from the Park Beach Club.

Monday morning dawned overcast, with the chance of rain.

Gudgen was the team they were to play for the final.

Both teams got off to a good start, and then ends changed many times throughout the game, on the 18th end the score was 28 all, with 3 ends for both sides to finish.

Gudgen dug deep to pull off some amazing shots to win 28-36,whilst the result did not go the way we were hoping, the ladies bowled well and were gallant in defeat.

Great sportsmanship and made our great club proud.

Final of the Championship Fours was held on Tuesday 8.2.2022.

The two teams consisted of two evenly matched bowlers so it was easy to understand how they made it to the finals, as we could not pick a winner from the start.

q Jan Slater, Chris Sheridan (Sub for R. De Meio), Denise Hargreaves and Betty Bodel.

Some beautiful draw bowls, and ever changing ends, as the jack was moved multiple times throughout the game, but alas there can only be one winner with it going to the team of Betty Bodel, Denise Hargreaves, Chrissie Sheridan ( who subbed for Robyn De Meio) and skipped by Jan Slater who defeated Debbie Doyle, Lynne Clancy, Carol Dodds and skip Sandra Stirling.

Our congratulations goes out to all the players, and especially Betty Bodel in the winning team for becoming a Major.

Friday, 18 February 2022 WHEN the Geoff King Motors North Coast Open tees off on Tuesday morning, there will be no shortage of gun professionals for the galleries to follow.

After finishing runner-up in the last North Coast Open in 2020, Deyen Lawson is in the type of form that will make him hard to beat in the 36-hole event at Coffs Harbour Golf Club.

Just days ago Lawson finished tied-15th in the Vic Open.

He was in the money in his two events prior to that as well getting a tied-21st in TPS Victoria and tied-16th in the Queensland PGA. Another piece of experience Lawson can call on when the whips are cracking during the back-nine on Wednesday is having made his debut in a major last year when he qualified to play in the Open Championship.

The highest ranked player at Coffs Harbour will be Daniel Gale.

The Sydneysider has already recorded a victory during this summer’s NSW Regional Open

Series.

Gale won the Western Open at Dubbo and since that win has finished runner-up in the Queensland PGA and TPS Victoria.

Another of Australia’s leading professionals in Brett Rankin will also be playing on Coffs Harbour’s East Lakes layout.

This summer Rankin has produced a pair of top-10 finishes in the Australian PGA and Gippsland Super 6.

Coffs Harbour Golf Club general manager Paul McAra said spectators who take advantage of the free entry will be sure to watch great golf.

“There’s $50,000 in prize money on offer as well as three berths in the NSW Open,“ McAra said.

“The mix of top professional golfers plus a strong number of locals playing will no doubt make next week an event to remember.”
