CITY of Coffs Harbour Council has endorsed the Coffs Coast Tourism Strategy 2023, which provides a blueprint for continuing to shape the region’s unique visitor economy.

Incorporating feedback from tourism operators and the community, the strategy is aimed at supporting the City’s $285 million-per-annum tourism industry, which also accounts for nine percent of all jobs in the Coffs region.

“Tourism is vital for the region - a total of 1.3 million people visited the Coffs Coast in 2022 and 270,000 people visit the Coffs Coast destination website on average each

year,” said Mayor Paul Amos.

“Last year, visitors to the region spent $747 million in the Coffs Coast region - that is more than $2 million per day.

"The City is committed to supporting and working with Coffs Coast businesses and communities to foster sustainable tourism in our region.”

The Coffs Coast Tourism Strategy recognises the region’s ‘diverse and extraordinary natural environment’ as a major asset.

“Our Tourism Strategy is targeted towards attracting high-yield domestic and international visitors who value our

natural environment,” said the City’s General Manager, Natalia Cowley.

Another element of the strategy is to “supercharge” destination awareness, which is vital to attracting more investment, which leads to manageable regional growth and expanded local employment opportunities.

“We’re working hard to be the state’s premier regional city in which to live, work, visit and do business.

“This strategy is an important part of our roadmap to achieving this,” Cr Amos said.

Most actions in the strategy will be delivered business-as-usual through the City’s Delivery Program, while funds will be sourced for some new proposals or infrastructure projects from budgets or grants.

since he took office in 2019.

Three roundtable forums were held in Port Macquarie, Kempsey and Coffs Harbour.

“It was beneficial to have Anne here with us in the electorate to hear feedback firsthand from our passionate local professionals, and for her to be able to discuss the steps that she and the wider National Party team are already taking in the background to help address some of the more common pressure points across regional and rural Australia,” Mr Conaghan said.

While Mr Congahan admitted that the issues being discussed existed while the Coalition were in Government, he claimed the problems had been exacerbated by Federal Labor making policy changes with “metropolitan areas in mind”.

“The impacts, no matter how unintentional, are being felt hard in regions like ours,” Mr Congahan said.

“Changes like the recent Distribution Priority Area (DPA) updates that have opened the door for international medical graduate doctors to leave the regions for peri-urban settings.

“This has been a major factor in a reduction in GP

clinics right across regional Australia, including our electorate,” Mr Conaghan said.

A common theme throughout the forums was worsening workforce shortages, with impacts felt by patients as well as local health and aged care providers and their staff.

Staff burnout and an inability to open facilities at capacity were common discussion points.

The need for employers to be able to source affordable housing and adequate childcare placements in order to attract staff was also tabled at each forum and site visit.

Additionally, unregistered NDIS providers were listed as a major contributing factor to the available workforce problem.

The lack of regulation around licensing criteria, as well as exorbitant hourly rates on offer when compared to the health care sector were of particular concern.

“We heard from every provider that they had lost staff to NDIS as they couldn’t compete with the hourly rate that some are able to charge without needing additional certification,” Mr Conaghan said.

On November 21, the Albanese Government announced a wide-ranging review to urgently investigate

how to more equitably distribute doctors and other health workers around the country.

The Working Better for Medicare Review will look at how current policies and programs can be strengthened to make it easier to see a doctor, nurse or other health worker in the outer suburbs of our major cities and in regional, rural and remote Australia.

The Review will look at Medicare’s role in locating the workforce, as well as the three main policy levers used to distribute the workforce - the Modified Monash Model, District of Workforce Shortage, and Distribution Priority Area.

The Working Better for Medicare Review will be led by nurse, advocate and remote health expert Professor Sabina Knight, and former senior health bureaucrat and academic Mick Reid.

The Review will be underpinned by extensive stakeholder engagement, with findings expected to be provided to government in mid-2024.

“The levers we have to spread doctors and health workers around the country are from a very different time, before the COVID pandemic and the global health workforce crunch,” Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler said.

need them to be – outside of cities and in areas of need.”

“I am delighted that Mick and Sabina, two expert, independent reviewers, have

accepted my invitation to guide the review and look forward to the outcomes of this important work.”

“More than 330 local business owners and their teams came together to celebrate their successes.

“The winners were from across nineteen categories and were chosen by nine independent judges.

“We were excited this year to see many new businesses enter who had not previously.

“We always have an exceptionally strong standard of entry across the field and it was a great opportunity for businesses to be recognised for excellence.”

Two hard-working Chamber stalwarts were also recognised for their contributions to the Coffs Coast business community long term Treasurer Richard Hennessy and Vice-President Cath Fowler.

“I would like to thank Richard for his tireless work and effort in keeping the Chamber’s books in ship shape condition,” President Ray Smith said.

“It is often a thankless job as many in volunteer organisations know already.”

During the presentation, Ms Fowler was described as

someone who “loves this place we call home with a passion” and “who wants their children to grow up in a better place”.

Following addresses from a number of dignitaries, the winners of the hotly contested

award categories began to be announced, with Mr Smith reminding all in the room that “just being named a finalist is an achievement”.

of the Year, was Welcome Dental.

The Urunga-based dental clinic also won the Excellence in Business award, while Business Manager Kirsty Christensen was named Outstanding Business Leader.

A full list of winners has been printed within the wrap-around feature of this newspaper.

Too close to separate, Lifeline North Coast and Key Community Group were named the joint winners of Outstanding Community Organisation.

Lifeline North Coast General Manager Angela Martin said it was a thrill for the organisation and its volunteers to be recognised for their work.

“This will also help raise awareness of our services and hopefully attract more volunteers.

The crisis training we provide can also translate well for people in their everyday

lives at home and in business.

“The cost-of-living crisis is making our services more critical and awards and recognition like this helps to spread the word about what is available.

“I also want to thank Regional Australia Bank and the Coffs Harbour Chamber of Commerce for making this all possible.”

While not winning a traditional award category on the night, three businesses were awarded a special Judges Acknowledgement Award - Allegra School, Opal Cove Resort and The Birth Sling.

Judges recognised the “strong objectives and socio-economic purpose” behind Allegra School, Opal Cove’s “holistic approach” to sustainability and the global success of The Birth Sling, described as a “true start up business and great local success”.

90 years old, 90 days notice

By Andrea FERRARI

A NINETY-YEAR-OLD Coffs Coast resident has been given a 90-days ‘no grounds’ notice to vacate his rental, prompting calls for senior renters to be given greater protections.

Mr X (name changed for privacy reasons) is now moving from a studio unit with beach-glimpses in Sapphire Beach to the waiting list at a local retirement village.

He lives independently, and is an active, communityminded resident who volunteers his time with Mentors for Men and the Justice Advocacy Service (JAS).

He didn’t have moving home on his agenda until he received a 90-days no grounds notice to vacate from his landlord.

Bonville’s David Hargreaves, a fellow Mentors for Men volunteer, believes senior tenants should be given greater protections in their later years.

Under current laws in NSW, a landlord can evict a tenant without grounds with just 30 days notice at the end of their fixed-term lease, or, in the case of Mr X, with just 90 days notice during an ongoing lease.

No grounds evictions allow landlords to evict a tenant at the end of a fixed-term lease, or during an ongoing lease, without providing any reason, even when the tenant has paid their rent on time, looked after their rental home and the landlord wants to keep renting it out.

David is advocating for some humanity to be brought to the table.

“I’d like to see eviction notices have a scale of vulnerability attached to them,” David told News Of The Area.

“For example, at age 70plus an eviction notice carries a minimum three-month notice period, at age 80-plus a minimum six-month notice period, and at age 90-plus a year’s notice be required by law to apply the ‘no grounds’ eviction,” suggested David.

“A year would give them good time to help them to transition into their next home.”

Mr X is described by his volunteer friends as “emotionally robust” and has managed to secure himself a place, at least on a waiting list, for a room in a local aged persons residential village.

“What about those who are less able to manage this disruption at 90-plus years of

q Mr X, about to become an evictee of a 90 days notice at age 90. age?” posed David.

The Mid Coast Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service (MCTAAS) does not support the use of no grounds notices, believing that if a tenant is required to leave their tenancy, they should be provided with a valid reason.

“It is certainly our experience, and the experience of the renters we assist, that 90 days is often not sufficient time for people to secure

appropriate, alternative accommodation,” MCTAAS Team Leader Emma McGuire told News Of The Area.

“This is especially the case while vacancy rates remain low and affordability continues to be a significant barrier to housing.”

According to MCTAAS, if the termination notice is one issued under section 85 of the residential tenancies Act - meaning it is a 90 day no grounds notice issued

to a tenant in a periodic agreement - then the tenant is entitled, if he or she wishes, to leave at any time after that notice is issued and prior to the vacate date in the notice without penalty.

“He will only be liable for rent up until the day he vacates and returns the keys,” said Emma.

MCTAAS can be contacted on 026583966 or by email at enquiries@ midcoast.tenants.org.au.

Appeal to locate teenage girl missing from Bellingen POLICE are appealing for public assistance to locate a teenager missing from the Bellingen area.

Adeline Cooper-Williams, aged 14, was last seen at a bus stop on Church Street, Bellingen, due to head west on Waterfall Way, about 5.30pm on Tuesday 28 November 2023.

When she was unable to be located or contacted, she was reported missing to officers attached to the Coffs/Clarence Police District, who commenced inquiries into her whereabouts.

Police and family hold concerns for her welfare due to her age.

Adeline is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 150cm tall, with long blonde hair, brown eyes, and a slim build.

She was last seen wearing a black singlet, black track pants, black sneakers and carrying a backpack.

It’s understood she may be in the Coffs Harbour region.

Team Coffs Harbour takes off to boost tourism and connectivity

By Andrea FERRARI

IN a bid to boost tourism and promote connectivity for the region, Coffs Harbour Airport management met with City of Coffs Harbour representatives, tourism operators and local businesses on Monday 27 November.

The Airport team, headed up by Coffs Harbour Airport General Manager Frank Mondello, hosted the aviation forum to help inform future conversations with airlines to generate new business and aviation opportunities for the region.

Dubbed ‘Team Coffs Harbour’, the initiative encourages all stakeholders to work together for synergistic outcomes.

“It was a fantastic day,”

Mr Mondello told News Of The Area.

“We had a really good turnout which goes to show you just how important the issue of regional connectivity is to all the businesses around Coffs Harbour.

“It was a productive day and certainly more to come.

“All stakeholders were keen to work together to investigate new opportunities to boost aviation connectivity, the local economy and business.

"This Team Coffs Harbour approach will be key to the success of the initiative.

“We need to showcase what we've got here to the airlines and make sure that they are aware of the opportunities that exist here in Coffs Harbour.

“Coffs Harbour is an

amazing destination and there is no shortage of people from across Australia who want to come and experience everything our region has to offer,” said Mr Mondello.

“We have incredible beaches, experiences, accommodation, cafés and restaurants, and it’s important we come together to help promote our region to the world.”

Moving forwards Team Coffs Harbour will work with airlines, local businesses and tourism partners to provide more choice and flexibility.

Mr Mondello said Coffs Harbour Airport was investigating new opportunities as part of on-going discussions with airline partners.

“There are fewer and fewer opportunities for paid work for cartoonists,” Ms Wilcox said, encouraging opportunities for government funding.

“Cartooning is such a good way to get ideas out of your head and onto paper,” she said.

An award winning cartoonist of over four decades, Lindsay Foyle was also in attendance at the presentation.

“The National Cartoon Gallery in Coffs Harbour is fantastic.

“It’s the best in the world, running on volunteers and hard work.”

Councillor George Cecato spoke on behalf of the City of Coffs Harbour, highlighting the importance of the cartooning art form.

Having been introduced to cartooning through Rotary 26 years ago, Mr Cecato, a former judge of the award, spoke of how one particular cartoon changed his life forever.

Inaugurated in 1989, the original aims of the awards remain, to promote cartooning and honour the cartoonists of Australia.

The awards allow the Gallery to build a cartoon collection of national significance and promote Coffs Harbour as the cartoon capital of Australia.

“Cartooning is a part of a world without political correctness, where you

don’t have to be diplomatic, respectful or even kind,” National Cartoon Gallery Coordinator Carolyn Roelofs quoted.

“It’s a world where you can tell politicians to get it right; religious leaders a few home truths and you can attack the egos of pumped-up sports stars or simply remind ordinary Aussies to take a good look at themselves.

“A privileged world where the pen is still mightier than the sword, anything goes and no one is spared.

“A world where you can say or draw, well almost anything, and get away with it and, even get paid – if you’re lucky.

“Cartooning is the most democratic of art forms and a powerful tool in the armoury of political and social analysis.

“It’s part of our history.”

The 2023 judging panel consisted of Unrealestate Coffs Coast founder and Managing Director Chris Hines; award winning illustrator, animator and

digital design whizz Dahna Knight, creator of The Cartoon Chef; and lifetime journalist and current News Of The Area reporter Andrea Ferrari.

The trio spent Wednesday morning, 22 November, at the Gallery individually making their judgements across the six sections, their scores determining the Winners, the Merits as well as the Cartoon of the Year.

The Political category was taken out by Ian Jones, while the Sport category was won by Peter Player, who also took out Cartoon of the Year.

The Caricature section winner was Simon Lee Schneider, with the top Comic Strip gong going to Mark Lynch.

In the Open category, Peter Sully and Phil Day were joint winners.

Terry McGuire from Coffs City Rotary closed the event, issuing a call-out to anyone interested in joining the board of the National Cartoon Gallery.

Cartoon Awards winners announced THE 35th year of the Rotary Cartoon Awards were celebrated on Thursday 24 November at the National Cartoon Gallery, with cartoonist Peter Player taking out the Cartoon of the Year award from 201 entries.

Mr Player’s winning entry, ‘Warm-Up’, features a streaker at a cricket match bending over touching his toes in a warm-up exercise before his de-clothed dash.

Welcome Experience supports area’s new workers

By Andrea FERRARI SOCIAL connection is the most valued service provided to workers by The Welcome Experience, a pilot program designed for essential workers in education, health and emergency services to ease the challenges of moving to a new region for their job.

In Coffs Harbour, one of eight regions to be trialling The Welcome Experience, the service currently provides a helping hand to public sector workers including nurses, teachers, police, fire fighters, paramedics and social workers.

Just recently it has expanded to include nongovernment health and education employees including GPs, aged care staff, childcare workers and Aboriginal Medical Services staff.

Operated by Service NSW in Coffs Harbour it

provides the newly arrived workers with assistance such as enrolling their kids in local schools, identifying jobs for family members and even identifying a removalist as part of the expanded NSW Government program.

“For the Coffs new arrivals, they are requesting help with getting linked up to sporting clubs and interest groups to establish social connections,” said Josie Howard, Director, Essential Worker Attraction Program, Department of Regional NSW. “Which is good for the program since research shows that while people will move regions for the incentives, if they are not well connected with their new community within one to two years, they will leave.”

The Welcome Experience is all about meeting new workers where they need support in their relocation and initial settling in period,

City of Coffs Harbour News Spotlight

for up to twelve months.

Some 78 people have applied to work in Coffs Harbour.

So far nineteen have made the move and are currently finding their feet within the community.

“For people who have moved to Coffs Harbour for their work, from a different region, and didn’t know about the service, as long as they have lived here for less than twelve months they can reach out to the Welcome Experience,” said Josie.

Anyone considering a move to regional NSW is encouraged to reach out to The Welcome Experience program and discuss what support is on offer.

To find out more about The Welcome Experience, visit www.nsw.gov.au/ re g i o n a l - n s w / w e l c o m e experience.

City releases 2022/23 Annual Report The City of Coffs Harbour has endorsed its 2022/23 Annual Report, which provides an update to the community on the City’s finances and projects last financial year.

City Mayor Cr Paul Amos said the report shows the City doubled down on providing stability and balance in the services it offered, and he expects to see even more positive outcomes in the 2023/24 year.

“We have some significant achievements to celebrate from 2022/23,” Cr Amos said.

“Some highlights were the building and opening in December of the Wiigulga Sports Complex, the opening of the Sandy Beach Youth Space and Community Hub, celebrating our first birthday as the first ECO certified destination in NSW, and being named in the Green Destinations Top 100 list,” Cr Amos said.

“But of course, the quality of our day-to-day services is what matters most, and City staff delivered on expectations, whether it was by maintaining roads, processing waste or responding to customer queries,” he said.

City of Coffs Harbour General Manager, Natalia Cowley, said tough but necessary decisions were made in 2022/23 to put the City in a strong position for the future.

“The Annual Report is an opportunity to take stock of what we’ve achieved, but our focus is now firmly set on continued delivery against the 2023-24 Operational Plan, which is our commitment to the community for what we’ll achieve in the financial year.”

In the 2022-23 financial year, the City of Coffs Harbour: • delivered 5,797 mega litres of high-quality water to homes

q Essential workers from the Department of Education, NSW Police, Department of Communities and Justice, NSW Health and Fire and Rescue NSW.

Learn to help koala 2024 Youth Parliament NSW populations applications now open

q Participants learned how to use the iNaturalist app at the recent workshop. Photo: City of Coffs Harbour.

THE Coffs Coast’s youth leaders are invited to apply to participate in the Y NSW’s Youth Parliament program in 2024, with submissions now open.

Young people in Years 10, 11 and 12 (or equivalent age) in all 93 NSW state electorates are invited to express interest.

The Y (formerly YMCA) Youth Parliament provides a unique platform for individuals to actively participate in the democratic process and advocate for issues that they are passionate about.

The Y NSW is calling on young people from across the state to get involved.

No experience is required, and people from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply, with financial sponsorships open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people living with a disability, individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, those experiencing financial hardship, living in out-ofhome care or rural areas, and refugee and asylum-seekers.

“At the Y, we believe in the power of inspired young people and Youth Parliament offers the opportunity for our youth to learn about the parliamentary system, develop critical thinking and public speaking skills, and

engage in constructive debates about issues that matter to them and their communities,” explained Executive Director/ Interim CEO of the Y NSW, Prue Warrilow.

“Participants will have the chance to draft, debate, and advocate for mock youthfocused legislation, gaining invaluable insights into the workings of government and policy development.

“Young parliamentarians also participate in a training camp in April and a sitting held in July in NSW Parliament next year.

“The Y then works actively to coordinate opportunities for the participants to present their Youth Bills to Ministers and other community leaders for consideration,” continued Ms Warrilow.

Youth Parliament has supported more than 1,000 participants over the last decade with 97 percent of participants surveyed saying they felt more empowered to advocate for issues in their local communities.

Testament to the value of the program, former Youth Parliamentarians have gone on to become Members of Parliament and community leaders of influence and return to the Youth Parliament program as guests and mentors.

“We are particularly excited to welcome and encourage participation from young leaders of diverse backgrounds and those living in rural and remote communities, whose unique perspectives and experiences play a crucial role in shaping the discussions and policies at the Youth Parliament," added Ms Warrilow.

"Their active engagement

and representation are vital in ensuring that the voices of all youth, regardless of location, are heard and considered in the decisionmaking processes that will affect our collective future," she continued.

Seventeen-year-old Rachel Lao was a 2023 Youth Parliament participant and is passionate about gender quality.

Rachel was part of the NSW 2023 Women’s Committee who put forward a bill to support mothers’ reintegration into the workforce after maternity leave.

“The Youth Parliament program provides the unique opportunity to not only connect with people who have various perspectives, but who are willing to debate diplomatically about social issues,” explained Ms Lao. “I think that it’s really encouraging to see the activism of our generation.

Youth Parliament teaches participants how to lead and engage in debate that is productive and has the potential to make change.

“The connections and friendships I have made through Youth Parliament this year are invaluable and I know that my peers will be using their voices and actions to make change beyond their involvement in this program,” she continued.

To apply to take part in the 2024 Youth Parliament, young people should visit ymcansw. org.au/community-services/ youth/youth-parliament/ and submit their application before 9 February 2024.

School teachers and Members of Parliament can also nominate a young person.

q Young people in Years 10, 11 and 12 across the state are invited to express interest.

By Andrew VIVIAN THE City of Coffs Harbour is calling on science enthusiasts and animal lovers to help the Coffs Coast’s koala population.

40 community members recently attended a workshop with seven guides to learn how to use the iNaturalist app and register koala sightings at the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden. iNaturalist is a social network for naturalists who want to record, share, and learn about their observations of plants and animals.

That event was part of a series of koala workshops being run by the City over the next eight months aimed at boosting local knowledge of the important animal species.

The City has partnered with the Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance to run the educational program as part of ‘Cores, Corridors and Koalas’, a partnership between Great Eastern Ranges and WWF-Australia to restore and connect critical habitat for forestdependent wildlife.

Ian Fitzgibbon, the City’s acting Director of City Planning and Communities, said although the local koala population is currently doing well, it is still at risk from ongoing pressures and threats, and that schools and the broader community can get involved to give the population a helping hand.

“The Koala Education Program is part of the City’s Sustainable Living Program,” Mr Fitzgibbon said.

“It’s a unique program connecting the City with schools in a hands-on way and growing awareness of this important initiative.

“We found that there is a lot of interest and need

media@newsofthearea.com.au

q Citizen scientists can learn how to identify koala scat. Photo: Friends of Pine Creek. in the broader community for education on koalas if we are to ensure that the species continues to thrive here.

“This program will help to fill that gap as well as provide community groups with a chance to help care for and support our resident koalas.”

Koala numbers in Australia have halved in the last 20 years due to habitat loss and fragmentation, disease, vehicle strikes, catastrophic bushfires and other ongoing threats.

Coffs Harbour is one of the few regions that still hosts a healthy population of the endangered species.

Other workshops include koala scat identification at the Coffs Harbour Regional Botanic

Gardens on February 24 from 9:30am until 11:30am, when participants will learn how to identify and collect koala scat for DNA sampling.

Although this workshop is more suited to adults, children seven years and above are welcome.

Koala Feed Tree planting will be held on April 20 from 10:00 am until 1:00pm at a location to be confirmed.

Again, children above seven years old are welcome.

Interested people can register for events at www.ourlivingcoast.com. au/Get-involved/Events or by contacting Ashley Stephenson on 0411 708 267.

Family First leader speaks in Coffs Harbour

By Ned COWIE

LYLE Shelton, the National Director of the Family First political party, gave a talk to around 40 people at an event in Boambee East last Saturday evening.

Mr Shelton spent several days in the Coffs Harbour region to garner support for his fledgling political party, Family First.

Supporters came from as far away as the Nambucca Valley and Grafton to hear his message.

“I am deeply concerned about the state of the nation,” said Mr Shelton.

“Our economic and social decline is extremely serious and it’s easy to feel hopeless and depressed facing down the wokeness and cultural Marxism of our society when we are led by politicians who

can’t even define a ‘woman’ let alone a ‘family’,” he said.

Family First captured 3.1 percent of the vote at the most recent Mulgrave by-election in Melbourne which Mr Sheldon says is “very credible for a minor party” and keeps him hopeful of scoring senate seats in future elections.

The party was recently registered in Victoria and is in the process of registering in Queensland and NSW, Mr Shelton told NOTA. Mr Shelton is well known to Christian audiences having spent five years as the boss of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) before resigning to take up a position with the now-defunct Christian Democratic Party in 2021.

Family First represents a new and independent venture into the political landscape for Mr Shelton.

The party hopes to attract not only Christians but people of all faiths who support Judeo-Christian principles.

According to its website, Family First exists to “restore Australia by restoring the primacy of the family in public policy”.

“Marriage and family should be the basis for civil society,” Mr Shelton told his audience.

“Citizens should be free to discuss the ideal model of family and advocate for it without fear.”

Mr Shelton credited the success and longevity of the western world to the JudeoChristian ethic.

“These values have been the basis of our legal and political systems, not to mention their influence on architecture, art and music.

“The west is currently

at a position where it could decline or it can renew.”

Mr Shelton is also opposed to ‘Net Zero’ policies which he says unfairly deny

STILL People’s Choice winner announced

By Andrea FERRARI

THE People’s Choice winner of the STILL: National Still Life Award 2023 is Adelaidebased artist Clare Belfrage, receiving a $3,000 prize for her piece, ‘Soaking Warmth’.

With Clare’s win announced by the City of Coffs Harbour on Tuesday 28 November, the artist told News Of The Area, “There’s something pretty special about winning the People’s Choice award.

“It’s amazing.”

Soaking Warmth (2023) is blown glass with cane drawing, sandblasted, acid etched and pumice polished.

Inspired by nature and its various rhythms and energies, Clare’s unique sculptural objects express her fine attention to detail and a deep interest in the minutiae

of the natural world.

“All my work for many years has been looking at the natural world, particularly paying attention to life and what it tells us about the living world,” Clare said.

“As an artist, my point of view is often looking from close up.

“The big feeling that ‘small’ gives me is intimate and powerful.

“The industry in nature, its rhythm and energy, dramatic and delicate still holds my fascination as does the language and processes of glass.”

Soaking Warmth is a collation of pieces but is referred to as a single artwork.

“That’s the nature of still life, it’s usually made up of a group of objects.”

Speaking about the delicate hues and patterns

He advocated for a “peaceful revolution” to put Australia back on a more truthful path.

within the work, Clare said, “The tones are warm tanninbased, beautiful warm tones giving a sense of summer… it’s very dry country here in Adelaide.”

While Clare has not visited Coffs Harbour for many years, in the last five years she has placed a personal importance on getting out to regional areas with her art.

“In my experience when I’m touring regional places, I have found an incredibly appreciate audience.

“I’ve been excited to hear about the opening and launch of Yarrila Arts and Museum in Coffs Harbour; it’s looking like a very vibrant hub and cultural place.”

STILL opened on Saturday 7 October at Yarrila Arts and Museum in Coffs Harbour, closing on Sunday 3 December.

Gumnbaynggirr artwork features at Service NSW

By Andrea FERRARI

SERVICE NSW’s Aboriginal Artwork Initiative has launched at the Coffs Harbour branch, the fourth out of ten Service Centres to participate.

Established following staff and customer feedback, the initiative aims to strengthen engagement with and acknowledgement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as well as make local service centres more welcoming for all people.

A dotted painting by Gumbaynggirr artist Ruben Browne, titled ‘Gumbaynggirr Country Reflection’, is now on display at the Coffs Harbour Service NSW Centre.

Ruben’s painting tells a story of the connection from the Gaagal (ocean/sea) winding along the Coffs Creek estuary waterway connecting the bush walking tracks to and from an old Aboriginal campsite.

“The inspiration for this painting was to highlight past local Aboriginal Gumbaynggirr people who lived at the old Aboriginal campsite at Fitzroy oval – a

meeting place or a yarning circle in our culture,” said Ruben.

The artwork was selected

by Aboriginal Elders from the Coffs Harbour and District Local Aboriginal Land Council and Garlambirla Elders Group.

Service NSW Regional Manager Jeremy Conlon, who

“Team members have found the colours of Ruben’s

artwork really soothing and participating in the Aboriginal Artwork Initiative has been a good way for them to connect with local Aboriginal Elders.

"Coffs Harbour Service NSW Centre looks forward to continuing to build our relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.”

Jeremy thanked Ruben for sharing his artwork and helping “educate us about the Gumbaynggirr people – their rich history, culture and their stories”.

“I hope local customers will stop to view, enjoy and reflect on Ruben’s artwork when they visit the Service Centre, ensuring we continue to strengthen our bonds with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.”

Ruben hopes that sharing his artwork with Coffs Harbour Service Centre begins to embed workplace and community inclusiveness.

“I feel it is not only important for this art initiative but all government and non-

government services to aim to recognise and consult with local Aboriginal community members to further develop cultural acknowledgement and programs within the area," Ruben said.

“My father taught me art from an early age and influenced my artistic development with his inherent cultural knowledge and artwork which has continued to keep me connected to my culture and heritage.”

Coffs Christmas Lunch 4 U welcoming registrations

By Andrea FERRARI IT’S ON. The Coffs Christmas Lunch 4 U has received enough donations and promises of support to proceed.

With a new organising committee, planning for the free Christmas lunch event began with a call-out to the community for financial contributions.

“The generosity of Coffs region's amazing businesses and individuals means we can confirm the lunch will be on,” organising committee spokesperson Ange Anderson told News Of The Area.

“We have been

overwhelmed by the response, particularly by individuals, after a massive campaign of door knocking, social media posts, cold calls and emails seeking financial sponsorship.”

Originally known as the Orphans Christmas lunch, the purpose of the event remains to give everyone a sense of community spirit and try to ensure no one is alone at this special, but potentially difficult, time of year.

“This past year has been one of the toughest, and we hope this event will give people the sense that someone cares about them.”

The free community lunch will be held on Christmas

q Last year’s Community Christmas Luncheon was a huge success, attracting a capacity attendance.

q The evolved Orphans Christmas lunch remains committed to giving people a place to go and have a social meal on Christmas Day. Day, 25 December 2023 at Cavanbah Hall, 191 Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour CBD, with doors open at 10:30am and closing at 2:00pm.

There is no alcohol permitted.

Registrations are being taken at the Neighbourhood Centre, Pete’s Place, BlueSky, Soup Kitchen, Lifehouse, Community Care Options, Coffs Support Services, Salvation Army or by contacting Ange Anderson on 0434 080 174.

“We have a maximum capacity of 170 people, so we encourage all to register as soon as possible.

“It is intended to try to support businesses by reciprocating the donation with a purchase, as we acknowledge businesses have also had a tough year with rising costs,” said Ange.

Volunteers are now required to put their hands up for either Christmas Eve afternoon to set up or for

Christmas Day, from 9am to 4pm.

Please email volunteercclfu@gmail.com or contact Mary O’Callaghan on 0432 130 457.

A roster will be established, to cover all periods of need, which includes set up and pack down post-event.

Food handling, security and hospitality skills would be helpful, but are by no means necessary.

Nick Newling and Lindsay Hansen have the most important task at the helm of the kitchen, coordinating the menu and preparing the hearty lunch for all those attending.

“Acknowledgement goes to Community Care Options who came on board to auspice the event and provide generous support, which has been awesome for us,” said Ange.

“We would also like to acknowledge Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos and City of Coffs Harbour for providing Cavanbah Hall for this important community initiative.”

The organisers encourage the Coffs community to continue to get behind this event.

“It may be the biggest, or sadly the most needed, event held over the years.

“The committee is grateful for all the generosity thus far, and it’s good to know that there are a lot of people out there that may be doing it tough themselves, but are willing to help others.”

If any business would like to donate goods or services, please email coffschristmaslunchforu@ gmail.com or contact Ange Anderson on 0434 080 174.

Boost plants and beat pests

By Andrea FERRARI

AS discernment for the quality of the food we feed ourselves increases, home gardeners are getting picky about their soil too.

Pests come into the picture when food gardeners seek to tackle them without toxic products.

There are endless lists of quirky home remedies that may or may not work, making tackling pests all the more difficult.

In a one-off, by-donation workshop, Ian Epic Earth, founder of the Gourmet Garden School in Raleigh, will share ways to help plants develop natural pest resistance.

On Sunday 10 December

from 9am-12-noon at the Coffs Regional Community Gardens in Combine Street, Mr Earth will be guiding participants through the process of assessing plant health and learning to distinguish between symptoms of deficiency and symptoms of disease.

Participants will learn to identify specific pest damage symptoms and coordinate an effective ecological response.

Starting at the root cause with plant health, participants will learn two homemade concentrated liquid tonics that powerfully boost plant health, aimed at helping the plants develop natural resistance to pests.

“It’s got to be seen to be believed,” Ian told News Of

The Area.

“Plants have their own complex phytochemical immune systems and if supplied with the minerals and microbes they need, plants can ‘grow out’ of being affected by pests.

“This is an exciting and simple, no-tox way of growing organic food, and these recipes cost almost nothing to make.”

This is the first time Ian will share this premium material in a by-donation workshop.

“I’m wanting to help equip more people with the awareness that this is even possible and how to easily do it.

“Prevention is by far my favourite form of pest management, and it’s by

reading the plants that we’re shown where to pick up our game.

“Healthier plants have more minerals and taste better too so it’s an obvious and alluring win-win.”

Participants will be welcome to ask questions about their specific pest problems and bring samples from home for group inspection.

A wood-fired pizza lunch is included.

Spaces are limited, meaning registration is essential.

Harley Owners Group rides out for Salvos Toy Run

q The Mid North Coast Harley Owners Group are celebrating 30 years of the annual Salvos Toy Run this year.

By Andrea FERRARI AHEAD of the 30th annual Salvation Army Toy Run on Sunday, 10 December, the Mid North Coast Harley Owners Group (MNC HOG) are seeking donations of presents and riders to join the journey.

The Toy Run brings gifts to those in the community who may not otherwise have a present to open on Christmas Day. Standing by inclusivity, the event is open to all varieties of motorcycles, riders and pillions, with the Salvos accepting any donations of toys, gift cards, food and cash on the day.

The motorcycle convoy will leave the North Beach Recreation and Bowling Club at Mylestom at 11:30am and follow Pine Creek Way through Bonville, Lyons Road, through First Avenue in Sawtell then along Hogbin Drive and Harbour Drive to the Jetty Foreshore.

The Salvation Army will

q

have a BBQ and drinks on hand for the cost of a gold coin donation for all attendees on arrival at the foreshores park at lunch time.

Around 200 or so bikes usually take part each year, with riders encouraged to dress in a Christmas theme.

Bikes are also decked out in the spirit of Christmas.

Debbie Hull-Moody, Treasurer/Editor of the Mid North Coast HOG Club, told News Of The Area, “Families who don’t own a motorcycle are more than welcome to turn up at the park with donations and join in the BBQ and admire the effort people put into helping out the Salvation Army and the underprivileged kids and families around the Coffs Coast.”

Toy Run patches are for sale during the day from the Harley Owners Group treasurer and secretary with all donations provided to the Salvos at the conclusion of the BBQ.

Salvation Army Coffs Harbour Corps Officer Major Andrew van Gaalen will be getting stuck into the activities on the day, while personally accepting the generous donations from all the bike riders and the general public who wish to contribute.

Commenting on his gratitude for what the Toy Run achieves, Pastor Andrew said, “It seems every year that goes by, more and more families in our community are finding it harder and harder to survive.

“We have met many (people), because of rent rises and increasing costs of living, finding themselves for the first time wondering not just how they are going to get through Christmas, but life.

“We try our best over this Christmas period to bring a bit of joy back into their lives by striving to make toys available for the children as well as supporting the families with food provisions.

“This is made possible by the outstanding support of our amazing community of which the Mid North Coast Harley Owners Group rallies together every year.

“For 30 years, this fantastic group of people has partnered with us in meeting

this need, bringing joy to many children along the way.

“So very grateful for their support,” he said.

Andrew van Gaalen can be contacted on 02 6652 8777 or email andrew.vangaalen@ salvationarmy.org.au for donations prior or after the

event.

MNC HOG Club members thank the C.ex Group for its support of this event.

Neighborhood Centre offering festive season support

By Andrea FERRARI

FOR those needing somewhere to go when seeking support and connection this festive season, the Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre’s (CHNC) doors are open.

“The Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre is the place to go when you don’t know where to go in the lead-up to Christmas,” CHNC Coordinator Anna Joy told News Of The Area.

“As Christmas gets closer the centre is getting busier and we’re seeing increasing numbers of people reaching out for help.”

Located in the Community Village, off Harbour Drive, the Centre’s doors are open to everyone and anyone from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday.

“One of our friendly team members will greet you with the customary ‘How can we help?’ welcome,” Anna said.

In addition to programs and activities, the

Neighbourhood Centre also offers essential food support.

“In a time of increasing costs, sometimes there isn’t quite enough to go around.

“This is where working with OzHarvest to distribute fruit, vegetables, bread and meat daily can help.”

The centre also receives donations of pantry items, toiletries, pet food and baby supplies to be provided to anyone that needs them.

For some people, it’s just popping in for a chat that helps.

“Sometimes easing the social isolation people can feel, especially at this time of the year, can be all a person needs to leave feeling better than when they came in,” said Anna.

The Neighbourhood Centre services can support people directly while also being very well connected with a range of Coffs Harbour essential support providers, including Pete’s Place, Lifehouse Care and The Salvation Army.

“That means if we can’t help, we will know someone who can.”

Anna said CHNC’s Breaking Bread Essential Support Directory is their most popular brochure and includes many places people can go for food and voucher support.

“It really is amazing how generous the community of Coffs Harbour is.

“Both the many support organisations in Coffs Harbour and also all the individuals who make contact with us to donate.

“We only need to let people know we need donations and people turn up.

“We are doing what we can to ensure that we can provide some extra support at Christmas.

THE Saraton Theatre in Grafton will proudly bear a Blue Plaque recognising the achievement of the founders of the theatre, Ioannis (Jack) and Antonios (Tony) Notaras.

One of fourteen new Blue Plaque recipients across NSW, the program highlights significant people and events which have contributed to the rich history of the state.

Greek immigrant businessmen, Jack (18921962) and Tony (1895-1991) are well known locally for establishing what today is an historic and still-thriving local theatre, one of only thirteen original condition ‘picture theatres’ in NSW country towns that is still running.

The new plaques have been chosen from 117 nominations made by the public and assessed by independent historians.

They join more than 30 plaques already in place across NSW. Anthea Toda from the Saraton Theatre, granddaughter of Tony, shared some of the history of Jack and Tony with News Of The Area.

At the Saraton opening in 1926, the Mayor of Grafton, WT Robinson, praised the brothers for showing that they “appreciated the district’s value and were prepared to put in all they could to make Grafton a better place to live”. Their children remember the brothers as hard-working and fair businessmen.

They were civic minded and involved with the community, and well known for their fishing prowess.

In 1940, during the dark times of World War II, a major renovation was completed by the Notaras family.

Speaking at the reopening, Prime Minister Sir Earle Page commented: “I am sure that in these times we will think more clearly, work better, plan straighter if we mix work with amusement”.

In 2008, Angelo Notaras OAM (son of Tony) and his brothers, the late Mitchell and John, and his late cousin Spiro (son of Jack), purchased the theatre from the extended family and began work on its complete and extensive restoration.

The final cost exceeded $4 million.

In 2011, the Notaras family was awarded the National Trust Heritage Award in the Corporate/ Government category for the renovation of the Saraton Theatre.

Their work was described as reflecting their commitment to the town where they grew up - its history, heritage, and future.

The Notaras family continues to play a big part in entertainment for residents of Grafton and the Northern Rivers region, not only for the latest movie releases, but for world-class live shows, local events, and concerts.

Youngster.co awarded Snow Entrepreneur fellowship

By Andrea FERRARI

YOUNGSTER.CO, a project which connects young people with tech skills and older people challenged by tech, has been awarded a Snow Entrepreneurs fellowship through the Snow Foundation.

Snow Entrepreneurs fellowships provide funding between $100,000 and $200,000 in the first year, along with wrap-around support services.

These include mentorship, connections

and a masterclass for entrepreneurs in their earlystage initiatives tackling disadvantages in new ways.

Founded and operated

by Emerald Beach’s Tony Rothacker, Youngster. co is now on a trajectory to become a nationally recognised tech education and intergenerational brand.

“It could eventually be rolled out internationally,” Tony told News Of The Area.

Being a Snow Entrepreneur is a huge step in growing the Youngster.co offering.

q Youngster.co’s goal is to become a nationally recognised brand for tech education and intergenerational collaboration.

ANYTHING but a ‘silent night’, the Community Christmas Carols By The Sea in Woolgoolga promises to be more of a ‘joy to the world’, with a program filled with heartwarming entertainment and seasonal delights.

The Woolgoolga and Northern Beaches Chamber of Commerce is once again hosting the Christmas Carols celebration taking place from 6pm on Friday 15 December at Woolgoolga Reserve on

Beach Street.

"It's that time of year again that fosters a lovely sense of community - our Community Christmas Carols on the reserve overlooking the beach," Woolgoolga and Northern Beaches Chamber of Commerce President Sam Hill told News Of The Area.

"Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the Woopi carols event for our community.

“It's our local tradition for all ages and truly brings everyone into the festive

age workforce in using tech, whether it's mastering Google Sheets, Excel, or navigating new software they are implementing.

“Our goal is to become a nationally recognised brand for tech education and intergenerational collaboration.”

And there’s the win-win that warms the heart: the value of intergenerational exchange.

“It's a reminder that learning is a two-way street, and sometimes, we just need to remind our youngsters to pace it for everyone to keep up,” said Tony.

“The younger generation

season."

Everyone is encouraged to join in the merriment as local choirs and performers fill the air with traditional and contemporary Christmas melodies.

There are food stalls including festive fayre and an array of entertainment, including live performances and activities for all ages.

When the sun goes down the night sky will be lit up with a laser show.

And of course, Santa will pay a visit.

“Many seniors find themselves struggling to keep up, which can lead to feelings of isolation.

“Conversely, young people, often engrossed in their digital worlds, can become disconnected from the broader community."

Youngster.co’s approach is to turn this challenge into an opportunity for connection and mutual learning.

“By engaging techsavvy youngsters to assist seniors with technology, we're fostering a community

where knowledge and stories are shared, bridging the generational divide and tackling loneliness head-on.”

The impact has been profound.

“One touching moment was witnessing the pride and emotion in parents' eyes as they watched their teenagers patiently guide seniors through new technologies.

“It's these intergenerational connections that truly highlight the essence of our mission,” he said.

By Andrew VIVIAN

YOUNG Coffs Coast residents can register for free acting and theatre making workshops for youth at the Jetty Theatre in December.

Full-On Theatre, based in the Northern Rivers near Mullumbimby, is back in Coffs Harbour with a cutting-edge new program for young people aspiring to the stage.

The company has show credits at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival and is returning to Coffs Harbour after its success with ‘Stand Up Stand By’.

Stand Up Stand By was an anti-racism show developed with Orara High School students and performed by Orara High School and All One Under The Sun at the Jetty Theatre.

The show then went to Sydney and was performed at the Riverside Theatre in Parramatta.

‘RISING’ will bring the moving stories of climate-affected communities to the stage, with a show that’s written, developed and performed in collaboration with local youth.

Young people on the Coffs Coast are invited to immerse themselves in the creative process for the first event on Saturday, December 16, to tell stories of bushfires, floods and the climate emergency from those affected by them.

Exploring writing, creating and physical

comedy, the workshops will be a great taster of what’s to come in 2024 with the RISING Coffs program taking up residence for four weeks to work with ten lucky young people.

Director Dave Houston from FullOn Theatre will be conducting the free workshops for youth aged thirteen to sixteen from 9:30 am to 12:30pm and for those aged seventeen to 25 from 1:30pm to 4:30pm at the Jetty Memorial Theatre Mr Houston will also conduct workshops at local high schools before the schools finish this year.

Producer Joel Grimson said the program’s intention is to provide a space and a platform for local youth to “voice their concerns about climate change and associated disasters”.

“It provides them with opportunities to explore writing, creating and physical comedy and to work with professional actors and perform on the big stage at the Jetty Theatre,” Mr Grimson said.

More information and the link to sign up can be found on the Full On Theatre Facebook page.

Christmas concert at Sawtell Surf Club

q The Coffs Harbour City Orchestra will be performing Christmas carols on the grass outside Sawtell Surf Club.

By Andrea FERRARI

SINGING Christmas carols by the sea accompanied by accomplished vocalists and a full-blown orchestra - what could be more appealing than this to get you in a festive mood?

This concert-cum-singalong comes to fruition as the final performance for the year for the Coffs Harbour City Orchestra.

The free community event will be held on the grass outside Sawtell Surf Club on Sunday 10 December at 6pm.

“People can enjoy a full symphony orchestra, professional singers and a visit from Santa,” Cathy McIntyre, speaking on behalf of the Coffs Harbour City Orchestra, told News Of The Area.

“The orchestra will be playing traditional carols that people can sing along to as well as contemporary Christmas musical pieces,” she said.

Those attending are encouraged to bring a picnic rug, chair and basket meal and “enjoy an evening in this beautiful setting in the lead up to Christmas”.

The guest vocalists are John Greene and Ursula Kay. John and Ursula have been regular performers on the Coffs Harbour musical theatre scene for many years.

“Both of them have had lead roles in a number of local productions, culminating in a stellar performance playing opposite each other in South Pacific.

“They are very excited to bring their vocal talents to life with a full orchestra backing them for some Christmas cheer,” said Cathie.

“Both sing beautifully, and our carols event will be very relaxing and inspiring, especially if the weather is favourable.”

John has continued his love of singing and performance in recent years, enjoying “fun and camaraderie” with the Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company.

“I’m currently a worship leader at Faith Family Studio church here in Coffs,” John said.

“I enjoy sharing my God given talents for these celebrations.

“This will be my fourth carol concert with Coffs City Orchestra,” he said.

In addition to this event, Coffs Harbour City Orchestra will also be providing the residents of Marian Grove and their friends a free concert of the same nature on Saturday 9 December at 2pm.

Gary’s Supreme Court gamble SUSAN’S husband passed-away many years ago.

She has three children and six grandchildren.

When Susan passes-away at the age of 85, her will leaves the whole of her estate to her three children equally.

All three children are appointed as executors and obtain a grant of probate. Susan’s estate is valued at $1.5 million.

Gary, one of the grandchildren, makes a “family provision” claim against the estate.

Gary claims that he is eligible to make a claim because he could establish that he was a grandchild who was partly dependent upon Susan and further, in the circumstances of their relationship, he was a “natural object of recognition”.

Gary asks the Court to award him $250,000 on the basis that at the age of 45, he had accumulated no substantial assets.

Gary says that he has immediate needs, that he requires a fund to pay for his accommodation and medical costs together with a general contingency fund to meet his unforeseen future expenses.

In assessing the evidence adduced during the course of a twoday hearing, the Court finds that Gary was partly dependent upon Susan because he lived with her rent-free, including the five years before Susan’s death.

The Court accepts that Susan did the cooking and attended to the domestic chores during these times.

However, the Court found that Gary’s assistance to his grandmother was “fairly minimal” and that in an exercise of the Court’s discretion, in light of community expectations, found that Susan’s obligations to Gary did not extend beyond providing him with the total sum of $70,000.

Finally, the Court noted that during the course of the hearing, Gary admitted to suffering from an “addiction to gambling” and on that basis, ordered that Gary’s award is to be held on protective trust whereby Gary can only access income and capital of the fund by making “reasonable” requests to the trustee.

DEAR Jasminda,

My new flatmate has an aversion to creepy crawlies whereas I'm a live and let live sort of person.

How can I convince her that bugs and insects have a right to survive too?

Adele B.

Water issues too important to be politicised DEAR News Of The Area,

IN response to Adam Fuller’s letter in NOTA on 24 November and his personal accusations I offer the following.

Irony is largely a perception Adam and politicians are often blind to it.

I stick by my claim that water issues are too important to be politicised and yet you sadly persist in acting as the ‘attack dog’ for your National party mates who made the initial ‘song and dance’ around the water harvest rule revisions.

I referenced the DPIE website so that readers might access it to find out the issues for themselves.

I attended the April 20, 2021 DPIE Conference on the Draft Water Strategy held in Coffs with a personal interest in environmental impacts.

My inclusion of the fact that there were only three attendees I think is relevant as I believe it was a missed opportunity.

Other venues in other towns were obviously better attended.

I take your point that many with an interest were comfortable using the online

Dear Adele,

submission avenue, as was I, but it was an opportunity to listen, learn and express local concerns.

You would have noticed that the final report identified a lack of metering and metering data, a misunderstanding of regulations around water rights by landholders, Aboriginal rights and access, the vulnerability of an ambitious intensive horticulture industry, inappropriate dam design, and compliance, as significant local issues.

The critical dependence of our coastal marine environment on adequate fresh water flows was also clearly identified. It likewise made it clear that rules would be subject to review and change if thought necessary.

You can make wild personal accusations Adam and dismiss other’s views as ‘guff’, but at the end of the day I’m sure you would agree, while we all have ‘water rights’, getting the balance right is critical, and a healthy environment is crucial to long term sustainability and human survival.

Regards, Dave WOOD, Boambee East.

WE need insects. There's no doubt about it.

They play a huge role, not least as pollinators and decomposers.

I've always found it amusing that people are petrified of bugs but not petrified of the health risks when spraying enough contaminants to rival Fukushima.

There are some natural alternatives to fly/mosquito spray - citronella is a popular choice.

If it's a spider that's causing the issue, you can simply get it to crawl onto a piece of paper or enclose it in a jar and then take it outside where it will do a great job of keeping other bugs at bay.

Cockroaches are natural composters, but I'll admit I don't like seeing them scuttling across the floorboards.

Check for any places they might be sneaking in (in our house that would be the front door, since apparently our children were born in a tent), keep your kitchen clean and free of food scraps, and don't have composting systems too close to your house otherwise you'll make them think they are welcome guests.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

I support the native forest timber industry DEAR News Of The Area,

I WOULD like to thank Warren Tindall (‘Forest extinctions’, NOTA 24/11/2023) for his critique of my letter (‘In support of multiple-use forests’, NOTA 17/11/2023).

I firmly stand by my sentiments and remarks.

I didn’t realise that apparent credentials such as ‘skin in the timber game’ or scientific evidence, were pre-requisites for expressing support of native forests and the timber industry.

Some of my knowledge of forests has come from numerous field trips, conferences and journals, but my main source of firsthand information is my husband, a third-

22 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

generation native forest timber worker.

For over 40 years he worked in all native forest timber types across NSW. Does that qualify for ‘skin in the timber game’?

I’ll leave the presentation of scientific evidence about our ecologically sustainable native forests to experts like DPI principal Research Scientist Dr Brad Law and of course, the NSW Forestry Corporation (Dr Law’s research findings are on the DPI and NRC websites).

My primary motivation in writing the letter was to point out the many benefits that multiple-use native forests provide; and the jobs and skills along the timber industry supply chain that would be tragically lost if native forest logging is phased out or banned in NSW, as it is in Western Australia and Victoria.

An article in last week’s NOTA 24/11/2023,

media@newsofthearea.com.au

‘Veteran sawmill owner makes impassioned plea to Nambucca Valley Council’, highlights the reality of this dire situation.

A recent independent, publicly available, report by Ernst and Young into the economic significance of the NSW hardwood timber industry to the State’s economy, reveals that the North East region of NSW supplies almost two thirds of the State’s hardwood timber and employs 5,700 people.

So, the economic and social impact of ceasing native forest logging is abundantly clear.

The native forest timber industry has served Australia and, particularly, the North East region of NSW, well.

It deserves and needs our support at this time, more than ever.

Kind regards, Ann THOMPSON, Coffs Harbour

From the Mayor’s desk

By PAUL AMOS (Mayor) City of Coffs Harbour EARLIER in this term of Council I wrote to schools and early childhood education centres to gauge the pressing issues for them with respect to providing quality education for our youth.

The response was in the main somewhat expected, but several significant underlying issues surfaced.

The major issue was capacity - the schools are full.

OPINION & LETTERS Those that are full are experiencing delays in expanding, even if the funding to do so is available.

One of the major issues is that the planning of new infrastructure facilities in many regional areas has been based on outdated growth figures.

The mass move to regional areas, as influenced by Covid has made many regional population growth estimates redundant.

The private school system also wants to expand but has trouble finding affordable land.

Long waiting lists exist in the schools and an issue exists in finding rental properties in the north of our local government area (LGA).

There has been commentary around needing a new public school and perhaps a new trade training college.

There is a new school site identified at Moonee Beach, and the City of Coffs Harbour will advocate fast-tracking this development soon.

Early childhood education also has its

COFFS COAST News Of The Area

challenges.

Attracting staff and long waiting lists also seem to be a feature here.

These facilities are not overcrowded because of pupil to staff ratios, but waitlists are long.

One early childhood facility is adding to the waitlist at the rate of five children per week.

Distressed parents are having to stay out of the workforce due to the lack of childcare facilities. The most critical age group would seem to be in the zero to three years of age range.

We will be seeing where the City might be able to play a role in facilitating expansion in this area as well as senior schooling.

A big thank you to the schools and early childhood learning centres that provided this very valuable feedback.

Waste update The lack of our own tip site remains unresolved.

We have a resolved position of seeking to identify suitable sites for a new

tip, but the consultants engaged by the City could not identify any suitable site.

For now, we continue to take our waste out of LGA but are still working towards the most responsible environmental and financial outcomes.

On 28 May 2021, Council wrote to the NSW Department of Planning, copied to the local State Member, Mr Gurmesh Singh, seeking support to identify a suitable site and apply for the relevant approvals in State forest land to the west of Coffs Harbour to establish a short-term tip site.

The department advised the City to approach the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Forestry.

On 14 October 2022, Council wrote to DPI Forestry, seeking support to identify a suitable site and apply for the relevant approvals in State forest land to the west of Coffs Harbour to establish a short-term tip site.

To date, the department has not responded.

Time to acknowledge the old way is broken DEAR News Of The Area,

BOWRAVILLE sawmill owner Matt Dyer’s recent reported comments (NOTA 24/11/23), as written by your correspondent Ned Cowie, regarding National Parks, fires and the Black Summer holocaust, demand a response.

Mr. Dyer is quoted as recommending that “National Parks change their policy” about hazard reduction burning and that the fires began on “the national parks territory” and implied that nothing was done to combat them for three weeks.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service annually undertakes more than

70 percent of the total acreage of hazard reduction burning in NSW. The contribution of the forestry industry is somewhat smaller.

National Parks and Wildlife Service staff work closely with local Rural Fire Service brigades and Forestry Corporation crews to attack, suppress and extinguish forest wildfires throughout the local area.

After studying the fire footprint of the Black Summer fires, acclaimed Australian Ecologist, Professor David Lindenmayer, found that logging elevated the risk of these high-severity fires.

According to Professor Lindenmayer, logged forests always burn at greater

severity than intact forests.

While Forest Corp does burn some forest slash after clear fall operations, the private native forestry jobs on private land holdings, favoured by some local sawmillers, rarely are burnt after the loggers move through and go.

Almost all Australians would strongly support the growth and development of a sustainable plantation-based hardwood timber industry.

It is time to acknowledge that the old way is broken.

Our public native forests are almost exhausted of large sawlogs because of over exploitation.

Two questions for our local Member DEAR News Of The Area,

WHILST happy (as a left of centre voter) with Gurmesh's performance as our local Member, I would like to ask two questions.

His 'overwhelming majority' who support development at the Jetty is representative of what percentage of the

local population?

Why is it that I have not encountered one person who is in favour of his position?

Though, I must admit that I haven't spoken to any of my acquaintances who are members of the Chamber of Commerce recently.

There should be no owner occupied

residency east of the railway line, however what about accommodation and services for tourism that will not obscure the view from the foreshores of properties to the south of Nile St. These should be self funded on 25 year leases to the Coffs Harbour City Council thus saving the rate payers the

It is time for the timber industry to become farmers of wood.

We can, and should, grow our magnificent native timbers, not just pine trees, as a crop, and no longer take it from our native forests at the expense of our unique and precious wildlife.

We have the land, the climate, the tree species, the knowledge, and the skilled workforce to undertake this initiative on a grand, sustainable, and commercially rewarding scale.

Regards, A FIZELLE, Bonville.

cost of development other than supply of services.

My second question: Whose interests are being catered for by the support of residential development?

Regards, Peter FARQUHAR, Coffs Harbour.

The middle ground for logging is in sight DEAR News Of The Area,

WHEN I wrote about finding the middle ground to logging issues in April the cracks were showing.

Now there are full blown holes gaping in our community.

I don't want to lose our forests in the state they are, but I also don't want one timber or forest worker to lose their job.

In fact, I believe we need more people managing our forest, not less.

The people who work timber know the roads, the trees, the equipment and machinery, and are an undisputable asset.

The fact is the forests need so much management due to most previous funding being around extraction.

That isn't anyone's fault but policies which none of us here created.

The thing is we are all (I believe) arguing the same point, no matter which side of the fence you choose to sit.

As professor David Bowman, Professor of Pyrogeography and Fire Science from the University of Tasmania stated, regrowth is more likely to burn, so it goes without saying that logging established

Friday, 1 December 2023

trees of any quality and replanting them with new ones is increasing fire risk.

This may work when done at a small scale or spread over multiple properties.

However current plantation clearfell management is intensifying fire risk by providing thousands of hectares of regrowth all at once (such as in Newry SF between Valla and Urunga).

Native forest has similar regrowth issues as now harvestable areas are allowed to be all-but clear felled.

For example Conglomerate SF 'selective logging' retained 10m² per 10,000m² of trees (yes that's one percent left).

Regulations changed which meant what once had the potential to become a sustainable industry again is quite literally being incinerated.

Over half of what is being taken from the current logging sites, both native forest and plantation, is wastage or low quality.

Not left to mature or as habitat, but burnt on site or taken to be chipped, pulped, or made into disposable pallets.

However, it would be beyond the pail of stupidity to lose our timber workers.

Removing these people will directly increase fire risk by taking away our communities ability to manage the forests.

I worry that industrialisation from both timber and tourism giants threatens the functionality of this place and the forests which divide and unite our townships.

But there are definitely solutions.

Actually, I believe we're strategically placed as a community to excel in private forest management, on private land.

This place knows timber.

In the meantime we need our workers to keep working if they want to.

In order to do that our public forests must be funded differently, shifting focus from extraction to management.

Where logging does take place it's got to be back to real selective logging right now, even in plantations.

This will ensure the canopy is maintained which will keep the temperature down.

All public areas which contain highly valuable habitat for multiple threatened species should be avoided until we understand their role.

For example, possums are the best

www.newsofthearea.com.au

pollinators as their hair catches pollen better than birds and bees do.

We don't know what happens if we take them out of the forests.

For those who argue we need more timber now, we also need more timber in the future. Wasting half of mixed-hardwood seeded forests which are already nearly 60 years old, and replacing the wasted immature trees with brand new saplings, certainly doesn't get us there. Stopping this wastage being allowed and removing low quality yield in general (unless truly leftover from a high quality saw log) we have a big step towards a consensus from everyone.

Our locals desperately need to be valued in the bush they know best and that counts for everyone.

We all want the same thing - forests which work.

So the solution isn't one or the other, it's all together now.

Regards, Jodie ARMYTAGE, Valla.

Rural acreage near Coffs Harbour - Unique land use opportunity Price: $870,000.00

ON the market is 41 acres just ten to fifteen minutes south from Coffs Harbour city and airport.

With easy access, the property features a combination of cattle pasture, fish farm development opportunity and natural bush with a salt water creek as the rear boundary.

The acreage is home to the only saltwater, approved and licenced aquaculture facility in the three LGAs of Bellingen, Coffs and Nambucca.

The property boasts six established dams plus a long tailings dam, each dam with connected three phase power and piping from the tidal river.

The dams formally produce tiger prawns but are licenced for a variety of salt water fish and have the potential for seaweed production.

Current operational licences are in place with the Department of Primary Industries Fisheries, the EPA

and the Lands Department.

The aquaculture facility requires knowledge in fisheries or marine science, and this expertise is available locally.

Currently carrying over 30 head of cattle, deep alluvial soils support pastures that hold up well in dry times with reticulated town water connected to two cattle troughs on property.

Internal fencing.

Development under agritourism in association with aquaculture may be permitted subject to consent along with tourism potential.

The owners have held discussions regarding saltwater fish research using the dams on the property.

The owners are retiring and price calculation is based on Valuer General’s UCV ($720,000) - unimproved land value plus 30 percent of the replacement cost of the infrastructure and approvals.

By Aiden BURGESS

THE Nana Glen Lizards have had a big win during the latest round of Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s T20 Cup. Nana Glen had a nine-

wicket win against the Northern Districts Rebels in their T20 Cup match at Woolgoolga.

The Lizards won the toss and chose to bowl, getting the Rebels all out for 94 in the 18th over at the Wiigulga

Sports Complex.

Campbell Forster, Lachlan Foster, and Brock Munro all took 2-14, with Manat Singh taking 2-24.

Prabraj Sidhu top scored for the Rebels with 44.

Nana Glen cruised to

victory finishing at 1/95 in the 14th over.

The Lizards were led home by Kyle Wood and Daniel Craig, who both finished not out on 39 and 32 respectively.

The win was the Lizards

second in three T20 Cup matches, and saw them move to third spot on the ladder.

The scheduled matches between Coffs Colts and Diggers Cricket Club, and Adams Family and Valleys Cricket Club at the Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park were washed out.

The T20 Cup is a seventeam competition played over 10 rounds each Thursday night, with the grand final to be decided on Thursday,

hands of the Byron Bay Beez in Byron Bay. Jake McMillan top scored for the Suns with 34 points.

A Coffs Harbour Basketball Association representative gave a recap of the weekend’s games.

“On Saturday our Senior Suns travelled to Byron Bay to take on the Beez.

“Both with undermanned squads, the women pulled away in the second half to

record the win, while the men went down to a dominant Beez side.

“With the loss, the men finished their 2023 Sunshine Conference season in 5th position, missing finals next weekend. “The women finished the season in first place on the ladder going 6-0 and will now play their semifinal match in Lismore at 10.30am this weekend.”

The swimmers attended the annual Patron’s Gala for Australia’s Swimmers to receive their awards on Saturday 18 November.

Swimmers Patron and billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart hosted the celebrations at her home.

Accepting her award, Maddie spoke directly to Mrs Rinehart, thanking her for her personal support of para

swimming.

Maddie won gold and silver medals at the 2023 World Para Swimming Championships held in Manchester, UK from 31 July to 6 August.

She also won three gold medals and a silver medal at the 2023 Australian Short Course Swimming Championships held at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre in September.

Patron’s awards were awarded to the Olympic World Championships Men’s 4x100m freestyle relay team, the Women’s 4x100m freestyle world record relay team, and to Brisbane swimmer Rowan Crothers and Sunshine Coast swimmer Alexa Leary, who took out the trophies for best male and female swimmers in

“Surrounded by so many distinguished guests, swimmers, families, coaches, and friends all dressed to the nines it was a stunning evening with a French touch, looking forward to the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympic Games,” said Paul McTernan, Maddie’s father.

“The highlights for me were Maddie and her 4x100m medley world record relay teammates Ben Hance, Jake Michel, Paige Leonhardt each receiving a Patron’s award from Gina Rinehart followed by me speaking with Gina Rinehart and the final song of the night when Guy Sebastian sang his rendition of ‘We Are the Champions’ which filled my heart and soul with proud Australian patriotism.”

Former Snappers player makes Australian debut

By Aiden BURGESS

BRIANNA Hoy has proudly worn the green and gold jersey for the first time.

The former Coffs Harbour Snappers player made her Australian debut playing for the Wallaroos against England in New Zealand.

The match was the Wallaroos first in the inaugural WXV 1 Tournament in New Zealand, with Hoy also playing her second and third caps for Australia in victories against France and Wales respectively.

The 23-year-old lined up at loosehead prop for the Wallaroos in her first match in the green and gold.

Her Australian debut was made all the more special in that she lined up

Friday, 1 December 2023

alongside best friend and former Snappers teammate Kaitlan Leaney, who made her Australian debut against Fiji last year.

Hoy described what it meant to represent her country for the first time.

“Running out in the green and gold representing my country was an absolute honour and not something I take lightly,” she said.

“I was so incredibly proud to represent my country, the girls running out beside me as well as all my family and friends that helped me reach this childhood goal of mine.

“It’s an incredible honour and I am proud to represent my country as well as all the ladies who have put the jersey on before me and who will put it on after me.

“As cliché as it sounds, I’m also proud to be able to show young boys and girls who may not grow up in the big metropolitan areas that if you’ve got a dream or goal there’s nothing stopping you from achieving that.

“You can dream big.”

The new Australian representative said it was even more special to make her national debut alongside her best friend.

“To represent your country is one thing, but to play alongside my best mate is something I am so proud of,” she said.

“Starting in Coffs playing our first games of rugby together, we were dreaming of the idea we could play for our country together.

“So, I’m proud and I hope we get more opportunities

to take the field together in the future.”

Hoy explained the high standard of international women’s rugby.

“It’s the pinnacle of women’s rugby,” she said.

at an average of 33.45.

Having grown up in Corindi Beach, Learoyd returned to the region last year to help run a junior super clinic, which brought back fond memories of her junior playing days on the Coffs Coast.

“Just looking back at the old grounds, it brings back good memories,” she said.

“I played for Diggers as a junior, and one of my best memories at the time was seeing the Coffs Colts have an all-girls team.”

Brianna Hoy in action for Australia.

“You're coming up against the very best in the world, you are also playing alongside the best in the world.

“High standards are expected from our remote

training session all the way through to test matches, because we know the competition is so high.”

Hoy is currently playing professionally with the Mie Pearls in Japan.

Surf sports celebrate 50th anniversary on Park Beach

By David WIGLEY THE 50th anniversary of surf sports took centre stage at Park Beach last weekend, drawing in 400 competitive surf boat rowers, 100 surf sports paddlers, and 50 coastal rowers.

Competitors battled it out for top honours in their respective events during a thrilling weekend of surf competitions.

A collaborative effort between the Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club, Australian Surf Boat Rowers League (ASRL), NSW Rowing, the North Coast Branch of Surf Life Saving Australia, and a dedicated team of volunteers made this two-day event possible.

Cudgen Headland dominated the surf sports arena with an impressive 121 points, clinching the top spot in the point-score.

The host club, Coffs Harbour, secured second place, while Woolgoolga, another North Coast club, finished in a commendable third position.

The action kicked off on Saturday morning with double ski races, where Coffs Harbour's dynamic duo, Aaron Beavis and Abbey Lawler, secured a solid second place.

Every race was fiercely contested, and some of the nation's premier athletes claimed victory in their respective events.

Coffs Harbour's youth team consistently excelled, with some age group wins and commendable placings.

Payton Lawler and Lucy Wilde made a mark by finishing first and third in the U19 Female ski event.

BEST ON THE BOX SATURDAY

MONDAY

TEN, 6.30pm

SBS, 7.35pm

The main ingredient in this no-fuss cooking series is, of course, chef Jamie Oliver and his exuberant style. Peppered with endless enthusiasm and a generous sprinkling of zealous commentary– “Come on!” he quips, Lleyton Hewitt style, and his “Look at that!” is perhaps slightly superfluous – it’s nonetheless a winning recipe.

It’s easy to fall under Oliver’s engaging spell, especially when he’s so keen to do us all a favour and “keep the flavour up, and the cost down”. In tonight’s budget specialities, there’s a meal that makes use of pantry staples and a frozen-berry crumble, as well as takeaway-style homemade crispy pork noodles.

Mercifully, there’s no canned baked beans in sight.

Rugged British adventurer Levison Wood is a pro at putting himself in perilous, breathtaking situations in the wild, but he’s also a skilled photographer by trade. In this intimate, threepart series exploring endangered species, there’s an emphasis on stunning scenery. Last week’s premiere saw him in Borneo with orangutans. Tonight, in part two of three, Levison is off the beaten track in Namibia on the lookout for the rare desert lion, of which only around 100 are left in the wild. With a focus on the effects of climate change and habitat destruction, it’s a poignant and hopeful expedition. Next week, Greenland’s polar bears are in Levison’s sights.

JAMIE OLIVER: COOKING FOR LESS

FRIDAY

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC, 7.30pm

Since its premiere in 1990, this beloved gardening series has steadfastly dug its toes into Australian soil – until tonight. After more than 30 years, it’s time to explore the wonders of a different country: our beautiful, biodiverse neighbour Indonesia. In this hour-long special, Costa Georgiadis embarks on an adventure in Sumatra and Jakarta, bringing along cohost Tammy Huynh. We also meet a new face in local guest presenter Sean Salim as they explore the exotic destination. Featuring tropical fruits, an urban park, the world’s biggest flower and a rainforest conservationist, tonight’s unexpected furlough is a breath of fresh air.

ATHLETES from the Coffs Harbour Triathlon Club recently hit the road to compete in a range of events including the North Coast Triathlon Series races at Yamba and Kingscliff.

The Club was a close runner up last year in the North Coast Triathlon Series and is aiming to go one better in 2023-24.

At the Yamba Sprint many made the podium with stand out performances from Alira Bayndrian in the 35-39 age
