Music, Motors and Hope for the Homeless FROM Page 1 “I will be performing my most popular songs but I would like to do something I don’t normally do and that’s sing some of my brother’s songs (Cold Chisel), like Working Class Man and When The War Is Over.

“I always get asked to sing these songs but I never do it, it doesn’t seem right, but this is different, this for Hope for the Homeless, this is an exception, I’m going to give it everything and I can’t wait to do my part,” said Swan.

In 2017, John Swan received the Medal of the Order of Australia for his services to the community and teaming up with Hope for the Homeless founder Dean Evers and operations manager Mark Tanner seems like a match made in heaven.

“I’ve been to the Hub (Harbourside Housing and Homeless Hub) with Dean (Evers), every person who walks through that door, he treats with dignity and respect, he just helps people, he’s a wonderful human being, such an amazing cause for people who need help, he has literally helped thousands of people and I’m honoured to be part of it,” said Swan who releases a new album next week.

“I love making music and I’ve just released a new album which is available at www. melodicrockrecord.com, and I will be playing some of the songs at the gig,” said Swan.

Operations manager for Hope for the Homeless, Mark Tanner, is looking forward to hosting the organisation’s third motor show in three years.

“There will be over a hundred cars on show, it’s a great way to meet new people who are passionate about cars.

“There will be classic cars, hot rods, expensive cars worth over two hundred thousand dollars, everything you can think of, it’s something for all ages to enjoy and it’s for a great cause,” said Mark, who gave some

“Dean (Evers) started Hope for the Homeless from his garage five years ago and now there are five shops, one in Nambucca, one in Bellingen, one in Grafton and two in Coffs Harbour.

“There are around seven hundred homeless people in the Coffs Harbour region who sleep in tents, sleep rough in the cold,

“We are all volunteers and love doing what we do, the organisation has helped thousands of people and we want to help more, it’s what we love doing,” concluded Mark.

Housing Crisis FROM Page 1 how it can help address the issue.

Cr Sally Townley has called on Council to ‘“play a role” in fixing an issue which is traditionally the responsibility of the Federal and State Governments.

“We’re hearing a lot about this issue all the time, we are hearing about rent stress and rent security and rising prices and housing shortage and homelessness and lack of social housing and lack of affordable housing, and these are all problems which are widely acknowledged throughout

our community,” Cr Townley said at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 13 May. “For us in regional local government there has traditionally been a view that it’s not our domain.

“The majority of the ability to exert a positive influence on the housing situation does lie with the Federal Government and the State Government, but that’s not to say that we can't play a role.”

Cr Townley said Australia’s current housing crisis was shaped by complex factors including, “taxation structures, investment patterns, supply and demand, wage growth

rates and more”.

“Opportunities (for Council) include identifying land appropriate for affordable housing, entering partnerships with housing providers, accessing funding,” Cr Townley offered.

“I think everyone who can do something about this issue should be doing something.

“Let’s step into this space, let’s try to do what we can.”

Cr Townley also called on Council to allocate some money out of its latest Budget to address this “extremely important issue”.

Cr Paul Amos argued that the lack of housing available on the Coffs Coast was due to

a “supply problem”.

“The State Government have come to us and they

launch of Australia’s Biggest Blood Pressure Check, in which local residents are encouraged to roll up their sleeves throughout May and have a blood pressure check to curb their stroke risk.

Stroke Foundation New South Wales State Manager Rhian Paton-Kelly said blood pressure checks can save lives. “It's estimated more than 37,000 people in the Cowper electorate are living with high blood pressure, many unknowingly, putting themselves at serious risk of a potentially devastating stroke,” Ms Paton-Kelly said.

“You may think your health is fine but high blood pressure often has no immediate symptoms.

“Over time it puts extra stress on blood vessel walls.

“This can cause them to narrow or break down, increasing the risk of stroke and heart disease.

“The higher your blood pressure, the greater your risk of stroke.”

Stroke can change lives in an instant. It strikes the brain, which controls everything we do, including our thoughts and movements.

Stroke is one of Australia’s

biggest killers and a leading cause of disability.

However, research shows 48 percent of strokes could be prevented if high blood pressure alone was eliminated. Head of Pharmacy at Blooms The Chemist, Eric Chan, encouraged Cowper residents to prioritise their health and reduce their risk of stroke by taking part in Australia’s Biggest Blood Pressure Check this month.

“All you need to do is get your blood pressure checked at Blooms Grafton, Toormina, Sawtell, South West Rocks or with a GP (General

Cowper electorate under pressure THE New South Wales region of Cowper is number nine in Australia’s top ten hot spots for high blood pressure, the single largest risk factor for stroke.

255 people in the Cowper region had a stroke for the first time in their lives in 2020.

4,430 people are living with the impact of stroke in the community, while 37,067 people in the Cowper region are living with high blood pressure.

Practitioner) and continue to measure it regularly,” Mr Chan said.

“Even younger people in their 20s can be impacted by the adverse effects of having high blood pressure.”

Major contributors to high blood pressure include poor diet (especially high salt intake), being overweight, excessive alcohol consumption and insufficient physical activity.

It can be managed with medication and by living a healthy, active lifestyle.

The theme of World Hypertension Day is measure your blood pressure accurately, control it, live longer.

“We are the only major centre on the north coast; that’s not good enough for our community.”

Councillors unanimously voted for Council to recognise that local government can play a role in the provision of affordable housing and/or social housing, and for Council to review case studies of other Local Government Areas who have made effective advancements in social and/ or affordable housing.

Council will also commence an investigation of the opportunities and constraints which shape Council’s ability to participate in the provision of affordable and/or social housing, and provide a report back to Council.

Almost 57K Vaccinated on North Coast than 5,300 Pfizer doses have been provided to older people living in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) and frontline health workers.”

From 17 May local vaccine supplies have increased as participating general practices receive more doses to offer patients.

Local Health Districts are also increasing vaccination clinics across the region.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Julie Sturgess said, “It’s terrific to see vaccination numbers going up in our region and excellent we have passed the 50,000 milestone.

“We are a long way off the majority of North Coast residents being vaccinated though,” she cautioned.

“The threat of a COVID-19 outbreak remains a real possibility.

By Sandra MOON HEALTHY North Coast, the delivery arm of the Primary Health Care Network on the North Coast reports that almost fifty seven thousand COVID-19 vaccinations have been administered on the North Coast.

The strong support for the vaccination program across the region has been a mix of the AstraZeneca vaccination and the Pfizer vaccination.

A Healthy North Coast spokesperson said, “So far, 51,663 doses of the COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine have been administered, predominantly through primary care, and more

q Having a vaccine is voluntary and there is no cost.

“Expanding the dose availability in the coming weeks will give more and more residents the opportunity to get protected, which is great,” she said.

In the Australian Government’s staged rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination program, the most vulnerable people in the community are targeted to receive their vaccination first.

There are two different COVID-19 vaccines currently available in Australia – AstraZeneca and Pfizer.

In general, the AstraZeneca vaccine is recommended for people aged 50 and over and the Pfizer vaccine is recommended for people under 50.

Anyone aged fifty and over can now make an appointment to get a COVID-19 vaccination.

Rodger Pryce running for Mayor RODGER Pryce is standing for Mayor with a campaign that he says focuses on solutions.

“Together we’ll fix it,” is what Mr Pryce is promising the Coffs Harbour community.

A life-long businessman in Coffs, today as principal of Brooklana Angus Stud Farm, and as a grandfather with generations growing up in Coffs, Mr Pryce’s motivation for the self-funded campaign is to share his experience and deliver solutions to what he calls, the “mess we’re in.”

The campaign commits to inclusivity, transparency and above all, solutions to the frustration he says the community feels with the current Coffs Council incumbents.

Mr Pryce is increasingly concerned that Coffs Harbour residents pay the third highest amount of council rates per capita in the state.

“As ratepayers we are stakeholders

bright-minded, the young and the life-time generations who’ve continued to invest and enjoy this beautiful region.

“With inclusivity we have power – and I am looking forward to having productive relationships with our politicians.

“At my age, I am looking at solutions that affect our future, to deliver outcomes that make a worthwhile difference and give Coffs Coast the leadership it deserves.”

Mr Pryce has gathered a high profile team of running mates to run on his ticket: Tegan Swan, Nikki Williams, John Lardner and Tammy Mills-Thom.

Climate Strike ON Friday, May 21, school students in Coffs Harbour and surrounding areas will rally as part of the first national school strike since Covid-19, demanding that the Morrison Government says no to funding dangerous gas and coal projects, and instead invests in clean renewable energy, secure jobs and First Nations solutions to protect Country.

The May 21 Strike will be the biggest climate protest since Covid-19, with actions planned in capital cities, regional centres and country towns across the continent. The day is being organised by the School Strike 4 Climate network, with support from First Nations communities, unions, parents, and everyday Australians.

Ellena Cheers-Flavell, Year 12, Toormina High School, said, “The Morrison Government could be protecting our climate, land and water, and creating

thousands of new jobs by growing Australia’s renewable energy sector and backing First Nations solutions to protect Country.

“Instead, they are lining the pockets of multinational gas companies, which are fuelling the climate crisis, devastating our land and water, wrecking our health and creating very few jobs.

“On May 21, we’re striking to tell the Morrison Government that if they care about our future, they must stop throwing money at gas.”

Mimi Arraiza, a Year 10 student from Woolgoolga High School said, “I’m joining thousands of Australian students on May 21 to add my voice to the fight against the Australian Government’s gas-led recovery.

“Promoting and funding the fossil fuel gas industry will not help my future nor my generation.

“Australia must take bold and decisive action on

– there needs to be accountability and transparency on what our rates are being used for.

“Currently what goes in doesn’t equate to what’s coming out – where’s the money going?

“We need to appoint third party forensic accountants to find the answers, and fix it.”

Another issue close to the campaign’s core is housing availability.

“Our world changed forever during COVID - people found they could work from home but are finding there’s far more people looking for homes than there are properties available, said Mr Pryce.

“The solution to the housing crisis is to get more availability.”

Mr Pryce said his vision is that in 50 years, our children’s children will be able to stay living in the beautiful Coffs region, not being forced to move far and wide from their families to find affordable accommodation.

Mr Pryce said he believes people in Coffs are disenchanted with “the rubbish that’s been going on”.

Now, Mr Pryce is putting his hand up to fix it.

Council take action on tip stench

By Emma DARBIN

THE current Coffs Harbour Waste Management Facility debacle and the stench surrounding the facility in recent weeks caused much debate at Coffs Harbour City Council’s recent ordinary meeting.

Long-time neighbour of the Englands Road Waste Management Facility Zeno Baston had some councillors in tears after speaking at the Council meeting on Thursday 13 May about his ongoing arguments with Council about the tip and his wife’s current health concerns.

“It has been a long and protracted and sometimes bitter and very disappointing situation of where we are situated at the present time,” Mr Baston told councillors.

“Isn’t the job of Council to be proactive on essential services like waste management, one of it’s core services?

“Time has run out for more meetings and reports.”

Mr Baston blamed contractor Biomass for the current problems at the Waste Management Facility, and also the actions of past Council staff.

“Biomass have been the major problem in regards to odour; the neighbour from hell,” Mr Baston stated.

“It is not so much the performance of the present staff but the actions and performances of ex waste services staff and general managers with the decisions that have put the present staff in the situation of dealing with the past poor decisions that have become a contractual nightmare.

“But in saying that, management need to step up and resolve the problems of landfill and its contractor.”

Mr Baston called on Council to undertake a total audit of the Waste Management Facility and commission a health study on all the possible health effects on nearby residents of

the site, and for this information to be made publicly available.

He also called on Council to “bite the bullet” and close the landfill immediately, close Biomass, and for Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath to take ownership of the issue and resolve it.

“It’s in your court, you need to solve it,” Mr Baston said.

“The buck stops at the top.”

Cr Keith Rhoades sympathised with Mr Baston and his neighbours and the conditions that they have to live with.

“No Council should make you subjected to that odour coming from there,” Cr Rhoades stated.

“I know people who come from the south into smelly Coffs Harbour via the Pacific Highway that now go by Sawtell Road and Hogbin Drive just to avoid that morning stench that gets into one’s car as they drive through.

“I feel for you and your neighbours, I just don’t know how you can put up with it.”

Cr Sally Townley stressed the urgency of the situation and the need for Council to resolve it.

“I think it's clear to everyone in this room and probably most people in the community that the urgency of what we are going to do with waste management into the future is critical, we need to be resolving this issue,” Cr Townley said.

Cr Townley called on Council to reactivate the Regional Waste Strategy Reference Group to discuss regional solutions to future waste processing in the area.

The group, which includes Nambucca Shire Council and Bellingen Shire Council, was originally established to oversee the implementation of the Regional Waste Strategy, and has not met for five years.

“The issues were there then, they’re there now,” Cr Townley stated.

“We all need to sit in a room together, look each other in the eye and try to figure out what is going to be some appropriate solutions.

“Waste is perhaps one of the most critical

issues facing CHCC and other councils and an urgent regional meeting is overdue to discuss waste-related issues.”

Following half an hour of discussion, councillors unanimously agreed to invite Nambucca Shire Council and Bellingen Shire Council to reactivate the Regional Waste Strategy Reference Group, and seek an urgent meeting of the Reference Group to discuss collective and individual options for future waste strategies including improved organic waste diversion, current landfill capacity, future landfill options, and diversion options for bulky good, construction and industrial streams and commercial streams.

Council also resolved to provide the Reference Group with a comprehensive update on Council’s activities regarding future waste strategies, write to contractors Handybin and Biomass to seek their position regarding the confidentiality of awards, and invite the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to attend the Reference Group Meeting.

Cr Paul Amos also called on Council to seek State Government support to find a more suitable site to establish a new short term tip.

“The current Coffs Harbour tip is at the end of its lifetime,” Cr Amos stated.

“A waste disposal solution is imperative for Coffs Harbour and decisive action is needed now.

“It is socially and environmentally irresponsible to shift our waste problems to other local government areas.”

Councillors unanimously resolved for Council to make immediate representation to the NSW State Government 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 new, short term tip site.

This site will aspire to serve Coffs Harbour from 2027-2040 with viable new approved waste technology anticipated to be applied and the State Forest site retired at this time.

Council calls for community to watch meetings

By Emma DARBIN

“We’ve got the traditional media out there wanting to report on Council meetings and I’m finding it hard to navigate through to listen.

“I’m thinking if we have on our home page a button that can be pushed and it would make it so easier and our communications with our public will be so much more accurate if people know they can easily go back, listen to what was said, before they take a position on a topic.”

Currently online recordings of Council meetings are found under the ‘Minutes and Agendas’ section of the Council website and are available on a Friday, the day after the Council meeting.

TO increase community viewing of Coffs Harbour City Council meetings, live streams of recent meetings will be made available the day after a meeting via a direct link on Council’s website homepage.

Cr Paul Amos called on Council to initiate this action at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 13 May to ensure community members are able to listen to Council debate before commenting on an issue over social media.

“The participation rate with the general public is very, very low in listening to what happens in Council meetings, and even checking information before they jump on to social media,” Cr Amos said.

Ms Faehrmann said, “The Coffs Greens have an ambitious goal to create greater levels of economic stimulus across the electorate and it's truly refreshing to see a jobs plan that should benefit the entire community.

“The Greens believe they have a chance to be part of a fresh new collection of councillors who are committed to getting the best out of our council”, she said.

the Conservation and Land Management sector, creating new jobs, particularly for unemployed youth.

“This investment can be funded from any number of grants and it is expected would see over 55 new jobs created, bringing widespread benefits to farmers, tourism and the natural environment,” Mr Cassell

said.

“As part of this strategy, I am also announcing that a new economic income stream could be returned to Council and private landholders when the strategy is fully implemented,” he said.

Mr Cassell said due to the scale of the plan he would release further detail in the coming weeks but went on to highlight other issues important to his campaign.

“As a team, we are very concerned about the current housing crisis facing our electorate and what Council can do to help,” he said.

The Greens are concerned that currently the different departments in Council don’t have an overarching document to guide approaches to homelessness.

Mr Cassell said, “The very first item I will push for as a councillor is for Council to initiate a homelessness strategy.

“The other issues that are important to our

group is water quality and as a fisherman I am very concerned about the health of our estuaries from development pressures.

“Through this campaign, I (also) will endorse a program that supports small scale primary producers called Grow the Grower,” said Mr Cassell.

“We live in one of the best climates in Australia for food production and its clear council can play a greater role in assisting our local food producers.”

He said his team is also committed to the diverse community arts sector and will work closely with them to establish better outcomes that increase participation with a particular focus on Coffs Harbour young people.

The Coffs Harbour Greens also announced that, as part of their efforts to engage with the Coffs Harbour community, people can go to their brand new website at www.coffsgreens. org for more information.

$350,000 Boarding House refused for BDC

By Emma DARBIN

BISHOP Druitt College has been refused an application to establish a Boarding House at the College by Coffs Harbour City Council due to bushfire concerns.

The development application for a Boarding House (change of use and alterations) to allow for international student accommodation at the College was estimated to cost $350,000 and be located next to the College at 83 North Boambee Road, Boambee Valley.

The development was to alter an existing two-storey dwelling into a boarding

house which would contain a Common Room, Carers Room and five Student Rooms on the upper floor and a Common Room, Carers Room and another five Student Rooms on the lower floor.

The development application was placed on public exhibition for public comment from 7 August to 21 August last year.

Council documents stated that the development was not considered suitable for approval because “the development cannot afford buildings and their occupants protection from exposure to a bush fire”.

“The existing construction of the building

is considered deficient in its ability to withstand either; large radiant heat fluxes or actual flame immersion that may be likely in a bushfire event,” Council determination documents stated.

“The development cannot provide appropriate separation between a hazard and buildings which, in combination with other measures, prevent the likely fire spread to buildings.

“The development that is at risk of bushfire is not in the public interest.”

The specific bushfire hazard is considered to be ‘forest’ located to the east of the proposed development.

Batty in Bellingen it’s a WIRES thing

By Andrea FERRARI

BELLINGEN Market on Saturday May 15 was going batty.

With education at the centre of the ‘batty-ness’, the appearance of live Grey-headed flying-foxes was part of a two-week program visiting schools and meeting the public in the Coffs region.

The event was part of a collaboration between Walkabout Wildlife Park,

Sydney Bats, WIRES, Coffs Harbour City Council, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and the NSW Government's Saving Our Species program.

“The live bat display is a public education activity, part of a Saving Our Species grant obtained by Coffs City Council,” Jenny Beatson, Assistant Flying Fox Coordinator, WIRES Mid North Coast Branch, told News Of The Area.

On hand and chatting

q WIRES Volunteers Sean Espinola, Tina Birtels and Maggie Knewstub.

with locals was Consultant Wildlife Ecologist, Tim Pearson.

Tim is licenced to use live, trained education animals from Australian Walkabout Wildlife Park in public education activities where he talks to students about the valuable role the flying-fox plays in preserving and creating our native forests.

A key message from Tim and the WIRES volunteers was what people should do

if they find a bat that needs rescuing.

“Don’t handle it,” said Tim. “We tell people ‘no touch, no risk’ and to call WIRES. “Like any wild animal, if it’s sick it’s going to be scared and try to defend itself.”

Coreen Robinson, a local from Dorrigo visited the stand at Bellingen to give a donation as thanks for help she’d received recently.

“I didn’t know what it was that came in the house, whether it was a bird or what, so I rang WIRES – thank goodness we’ve got places like this,” said Coreen.

Maggie Knewstub, the WIRES volunteer who rescued the microbat at Coreen’s home said, “When I found the microbat it was OK so I popped it in the pouch, tucked it down my jumper and took it to Denise Allison, Bat Carer at WIRES Mid North Coast.

“We freed the bat later, I stood for about ten minutes and it flew off and I haven’t heard back,” smiled Maggie.

Bellingen Mayor Unhappy With Forestry Corporation

By Andrew VIVIAN

AFTER a May 7 meeting with Forestry Corporation of NSW officials, Bellingen Shire Mayor Cr Dominic King, has written to convey his unhappiness with Forestry Corporation’s attitude to the Bellingen Shire Council’s concerns over ongoing commercial logging operations.

Cr King shared his letter

with News Of The Area.

He said the purpose of the meeting was to find out how Shire councillors and staff could access up to date, accurate and easily accessible information on what is the degree of past, current and future logging plans for the Bellingen Shire.

It was also seen as an opportunity to improve communication with Forestry Corporation about

the effects of its operations on the Shire.

His letter expressed his extreme disappointment that Forestry Corporation continues to claim that koalas and other endangered species are “doing well” in logged forests, despite the findings of a recent Legislative Council Committee inquiry that found koalas to be in danger of becoming extinct.

Cr King pointed out that it is estimated that 71% of the State’s koalas have disappeared as a result of last year’s bushfires.

Within his correspondence, Cr King queried why Forestry Corporation appear to be ignoring climate change and disregarding the side effects of logging such as erosion, soil degradation and water pollution.

He accepted that Forestry Corporation was only carrying out the wishes of the State Government, but wondered why the damage to roads and bridges in the Shire by logging trucks was not factored into the costs of industrial logging.

Cr King finished his letter by claiming it is a waste of time communicating with Forestry Corporation about achieving the outcomes

Council adopts first Crown reserve Plan of Management

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City Council has adopted the Plan of Management for the Coffs Harbour Community Village and Cavanbah Centre, the first of many Crown reserve plans of management to be established.

Council has a statutory obligation under the Crown Lands Management Act and Local Government Act to adopt plans of management for all Crown reserves that are classified as ‘community’ land for which Council has been appointed land manager by 30 June.

Council has been appointed land manager for more than 50 such reserves.

Five draft Plans of Management encompassing 30 Crown reserves have been prepared by Council for assessment, and another two draft Plans of Management are in the early stages of preparation.

The Plan of Management for the Community Village

and Cavanbah Centre was publicly exhibited from February to April 2021, and no public submissions were received by Council.

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

Cr Sally Townley was pleased this initial plan of management was now available, but felt Council had a “missed opportunity” in not undertaking other plans of management on the Jetty Foreshores and Botanic Gardens first.

“It’s a bit disappointing to me that some of the required plans of management for the really important community reserves such as the Jetty Foreshore and the Botanic Garden have yet to get out of the starting gates, and the initial three years that we were given to do this work will be up in a couple of months,” Cr Townley stated at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 13 May.

“I hope we really put some resources into getting some of those key reserves and plans of management.

“I think it was probably a missed opportunity with Council, especially the Jetty Foreshores.”

Cr Tegan Swan asked Council how it was addressing getting the other plans of management completed.

Council’s Director of Business Services Andrew Beswick said Council had advised Crown Lands that it wished to extend the June 30 deadline for the other plans of management.

“Council officers have written to Crown Lands seeking an extension to the timeline, as have other Councils,” Mr Beswick stated.

“We aren’t going to meet that deadline, Crown Lands is aware of that, but they are also aware that other councils aren’t going to meet that deadline either.”

Councillors unanimously resolved for Council to adopt the Plan of Management for

q The Plan of Management for Coffs Harbour’s Community Village and Cavanbah Centre Crown reserves has been adopted by Council. Photo: Emma Darbin. the Community Village and Cavanbah Centre as the Plan of Management applying to Crown reserves known as the ‘Community Village’ reserve and ‘Cavanbah Centre’ reserve.

Both reserves have been and are currently used to provide affordable properties for the provision of health and community services, and it is intended that the reserves will continue to be used for these

purposes.

These services include social assistance services, respite and social support groups, a drop-in centre for homeless people, providing essential personal services such as bathrooms, laundry facilities and food, Meals On Wheels, and meeting rooms and venues for hire for events, functions and conferences.

The Cavanbah Centre and Community Village are

used daily by members of the community for indoor leisure activities, dance/yoga classes, meetings, functions, conferences, workshops, education courses, and community care services for the aged and disabled.

Council’s adoption of the Draft Plan of Management makes it the first Plan of Management to be adopted

by Council under the new Crown Lands Management Act.

$6.3m DA lodged for Big Banana Fun Park

By Emma DARBIN

THE Big Banana Fun Park has lodged a second development application with

Coffs Harbour City Council, this time around for the construction of tourist cabins to accommodate visitors to the popular attraction.

q Big Banana Fun Park plans to establish a $6.3m Tourist Accommodation development on the hillside behind the Big Banana Waterpark and The Racer giant slide. Photo: Emma Darbin.

The development application for a Staged Development (2 Stages) for construction of Tourist and Visitor Accommodation comprising 40 Tourist Cabins, and including earthworks, demolition of the park’s disused monorail, 40 car parking spaces, construction of a private access road and associated infrastructure services was submitted earlier this month and is estimated to cost $6.3 million.

The development is proposed to be a staged development, with Stage One comprising the construction of 25 Tourist Cabins and associated infrastructure, and Stage Two comprising the construction of fifteen Tourist Cabins and associated infrastructure.

The subject site for the proposed new development was previously a banana plantation until the late 2000s when the banana trees were removed.

The proposed site is located

on vacant land on the hill directly behind The Racer giant indoor slide, and the cabins will be positioned and orientated to take advantage of the distant coastal views of Coffs Harbour’s coastline.

The cabins will be supported on stilts and will include two bedroom cabins, one bedroom cabins and studio cabins.

Each cabin will include the necessary amenities for a shortterm stay including cooking, laundry, bathing, sleeping and storage areas.

The principal function of the proposed development is to provide short-term holiday accommodation for tourists to the Big Banana Fun Park.

According to development application documents, the proposed development will “provide new and sustained employment for members of the local community and encourage

increased expenditure by tourists and visitors bothing within the park and the beyond during their extended stay”.

“It will provide additional employment opportunities during the construction and operational phases.

“It will provide alternate and additional accommodation for tourists and visitors alike.”

The remains of the abandoned concrete monorail track at the Park are proposed to be removed during the initial stages of construction.

This second development application follows the Big Banana Fun Park’s lodgement last month of a $2 million development application to establish a Duelling Raft Slide and a new children’s Wet Play Area within the Big Banana Waterpark.

The Big Banana Fun Park has been operating as a Coffs Harbour tourist attraction for 56 years.

Upper Orara’s star - Local horseman lands role in Walkinshaw VW Amarok Ad

By Andrea FERRARI

WHEN Upper Orara stables owner, Chris Fenech owner of HWH Stables, got a random email from Toni Higginbotham Casting agency asking if he was interested in being in a TV commercial, he nearly clicked ‘delete’ thinking it was spam.

But he didn’t.

He replied, asking for more info.

He learned that the casting agency was building a team for an advert that was horse-ranch related, so Chris naturally thought they were looking for horse riders.

He was asked to supply a short video of himself.

They liked it and booked

Chris in for wardrobe in Sydney.

It was here he heard there were no horses involved, instead he would be breaking in…the new VW Amarok Walkinshaw.

What’s a Walkinshaw you might ask?

Walkinshaw Performance is a global leader in the design, engineering and development of high-performance cars working with established vehicle brands, in this case VW. The idea, simply put, is to ‘bring to life’ an established hero car with supreme performance and style.

“The storyline – Walkinshaw Station ‘built for the road’ - sees horsemen

rounding up the wild ‘brumbies’, seen in the ad as the Amarok Ute, being broken in and then exuberantly released as the thoroughbred GT-spec Amarok W580,” Chris told News Of The Area.

“It was fun, I was amongst six actors who were amused I got the job through an email,” said Chris.

“Maybe they wanted credibility from the industry, and I guess there were snippets of advice I could give; otherwise they were pretty true to their storyboard.

“I honestly thought I was going to be an extra riding a horse in the background, not this experience.

“I didn’t get to drive the vehicle but from the passenger seat I fell in love with it.

“Walkinshaw has smashed the Amarok out of the park – all the specs make it a leader in its class,” said Chris.

SOME of the Bellingen Shire’s $16 million of Fixing Country Bridges Funds are being put to work this month as geotechnical investigations commence to replace five key bridges within our Shire to ensure essential access for our community and the local agricultural, service and industrial sectors.

Bellingen Shire Council Mayor, Cr Dominic King, said last week that works would commence on Tuesday 18 May, to conduct investigations to remove the load limit of Darkwood’s Justins Bridge by replacing it with a reinforced concrete bridge.

Cr King said Kalang Road

residents beyond Knights Bridge would also need to take note of local onsite variable message signs between Tuesday 25 and Friday 28 May regarding the temporary closure hours of 4 bridges to allow for geotechnical investigation to be conducted.

“At this stage, our work

crews are aiming to test borehole drill Knights Bridge on Tuesday 25 May, Tysons Bridge on Wednesday 26 May, Hopsons Bridge (Tysons 2) on Thursday 27 May and Youngs Bridge (Tysons 3) on Friday 28 May 2021.

“Given that these works are subject to weather conditions and the

onsite ground conditions encountered by the drilling team, I encourage road users to regularly check Council’s website and onsite variable message signs for updates regarding temporary bridge closure hours.”

Cr King said additional geotechnical investigations were also scheduled for a further eight bridges across the Shire, however that it was expected that these

works would not require the temporary closure of these bridges to all vehicular traffic.

“Every effort is being made to keep these bridges open to two-way traffic to minimise impacts on commuters so as you drive around our Shire, please observe worksite signage and traffic control directions to help us complete these works as soon as possible and keep our crews safe.”

BUDGET 2021 OUR PLAN TO SECURE THE FUTURE OF REGIONAL COMMUNITIES Our plan will help boost our economic recovery, create local jobs and keep our local communities safe.

We’ve fought hard to secure extra support for regional Australians in this Budget because we know that now is the time to create jobs and stimulate growth and provide a better quality of life for people in the regions.

We know that more and more Australians are moving to regional Australia and that is why we are investing a record amount in local infrastructure.

DELIVERING LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE The Liberal and Nationals Government is delivering a further round of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program, with an additional $1 billion to fund further priority projects throughout Australia and delivering an additional 9,000 jobs in regional communities across Australia.

And we’re delivering round 6 of the Building Better Regions Fund, supporting regional and remote communities by funding shovel-ready infrastructure projects up to the value of $10 million.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY

INVESTMENT FOR JOBS

In March 2020, there were 13 million Australians employed. Over the next two months, around 900,000 Australians lost their job.

Around 19,200 businesses in Cowper are able to write off the full value of eligible assets purchased.

By March 2021, there were 13.1 million Australians employed – 74,000 more than pre-COVID. Australia was the first advanced economy to have more people employed than pre-COVID. Last year, Australia’s economy contracted by 2.5% – compared to 5% for Canada and Japan and over 8% for the UK, France and Italy.

Housing starts are at the highest level in 20 years and consumer sentiment at its highest in 11 years.

There’s more to be done, but our plan is working.

TAX RELIEF Around 56,600 taxpayers in Cowper will benefit from additional tax relief this year – up to $1,080 for individuals or $2,160 for couples.

This rewards hard work and generates activity, which in turn helps local businesses and creates jobs.

REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS Digital connectivity in the bush drives economic growth for the nation, which is why we’re delivering a further $105.8 million for Round 2 of the Regional Connectivity Program - $45.6 million for northern Australia.

For example, this encourages a tradie or farmer to buy a vehicle or harvester or helping a manufacturer expand their production line.

These incentives will further fill our nation’s order books and generate opportunities for small businesses, to buy, sell, deliver, install and maintain these assets.

HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH The Liberal and Nationals Government has committed $1.9 billion to expand the vaccine rollout, including prioritising remote communities of less than 5,000 people The Budget includes record funding for hospitals, Medicare, mental health, aged care and the NDIS and $65.8 million to increase the Rural Bulk Billing Incentive. It includes new medicines listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme to treat breast cancer, lung cancer, severe osteoporosis, severe asthma and chronic migraines.

Further mental health funding will provide more headspace centres, a new network of 40 Head to Health centres and more services through Medicare.

BUILDING THE ROADS OF AUSTRALIA The Liberal and Nationals Government is continuing its record investment in infrastructure, especially in regional Australia. Our 10-year, $110 billion infrastructure pipeline will see a boom in regional construction – sealing roads and improving safety for freight and families with $1 billion for the Road Safety Program.

The Budget includes substantial measures to encourage more R&D and onshore manufacturing

SUPPORTING CHILDCARE The Government will increase the Childcare Subsidy for families with more than one child up to five in childcare.

This will benefit over 1,370 families living in Cowper seeing them better off by an average of $2,200 each year, and we’re also removing the $10,560 cap on the Childcare Subsidy We are increasing funding for preschools in Cowper and making childcare more affordable and accessible.

SECURING AGRICULTURE There’s a better deal for farmers and our regions by delivering $96.9 million to protect our agriculture industry from pests that can devastate our local producers.

And we’re continuing to protect and improve our regional environment with a National Soil Strategy and Action Plan which will assess the impact of land management on soil conditions, and boosting on-farm biodiversity with $32.1 million to support growers and producers.

IMPROVED AGED CARE A further $17.7 billion is being committed to significantly improve the aged care system.

This includes another 80,000 new home care packages (bringing the total to 275,000).

This will help the 39,482 senior Australians living in Cowper and deliver more home care places, more funding for residential aged care and increase the amount of time resident are cared for while strengthening and enforcing standards of care.

Out and about with Bush 'n' Beach Orienteering

By Andrea FERRARI BUSH 'n' Beach Orienteering Club started their winter season with a successful event at Bom Bom State Forest earlier in May. Event organiser Bruce Meder said, "It was great to be back orienteering in the bush.

“The forest was trickier to navigate than usual after being mostly closed and unused for over a year due to the fire, COVID and the floods."

Around 30 orienteers enjoyed the challenging mix of courses, exploring the trails and forest using a map and compass.

On the long hard course, Coffs Harbour's Sam Woolford came home

with the win over his brother Oscar (2nd), while Keelan Birch (3rd) from Woolgoolga performed well too.

The short hard course was won by Jamie Woolford ahead of Bob and Jenny Hawkins from Dorrigo.

The moderate course was won by Julie Irvine from Grafton, while Ian Warlters from Yamba managed to out-navigate Rhys Irvine for 2nd place.

Fiona Lane from Sawtell made short work of the easy course, which was also enjoyed by families new to orienteering.

Helen O'Callaghan told News Of The Area, “Orienteering is such a great sport because your mind is being kept busy and challenged at the same time

as your body.

“It's fantastic for our family because all six of us can compete at the same time and place as each other, but still do a course that is suitable for our experience or age group.

Councillors vote for 2% pay rise

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City councillors have voted to increase their annual wages by two percent for the 2021/22 financial year.

The Local Government Remuneration Tribunal recently made its annual determination of categories of councils and the maximum and minimum fees to be paid to Mayors and Councillors for the 2021/22 financial year, with the Tribunal increasing the minimum and maximum fees for 2021/22 by 2 percent.

The increase for 2020-21 is the same as that awarded to council employees under the Local Government (State) Award 2020.

Councillors will also be able to receive superannuation payments from July 2022 under the new remuneration changes approved under the Local Government Amendment Act 2021.

Councillors unanimously resolved at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 13 May for Council, in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, to fix the annual fee for Councillors at the maximum fee of $24,810 for the 2021/22 financial year, and an additional annual fee for the position of Mayor at the maximum fee of

“Another thing I love is that we are out in nature, learning and practising real-world skills.

“All events have courses suitable for newcomers.”

$61,280 for the 2021/22 financial year.

The new fees are payable from 1 July 2021.

Cr Keith Rhoades said the annual fees paid to councillors did not match councillor workloads.

“What you do is appreciated by your community, and the remuneration that you get doesn’t match what your workload is that goes into it,” Cr Rhoades stated.

Cr Tegan Swan issued a rhetorical question to the community regarding councillor payments.

“Would you do what we do for the money that we get, would you face the criticism that we face, would you put on your shoulders the responsibilities that we do for the money that we are paid?” Cr Swan asked.

“This is the reality that we face.

“There’s not many people that would do what we do.”

Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock said the decision to provide superannuation

payments to councillors addressed a long standing issue of inequity.

“The legislation addresses a longstanding inequity in local government by providing councils with the option to make superannuation payments to mayors and councillors on top of their annual fees from July next year,” Minister Hancock said.

“This is in recognition of the high workload and responsibilities of councillors, as well as enhancing remuneration to attract more people, particularly women and youth, to stand for their community.

“The NSW Government is delighted to address this long-standing inequity in local government, and recognise the dedication and commitment of councillors across the state by introducing superannuation payments.”

Coffs Harbour City Council is categorised by the Local Government Remuneration Tribunal as a General Purpose Council Non-Metropolitan Regional Centre.

Coffs’ Mindat Chin Families Suffer

By Sandra MOON

COFFS Harbour relatives of Mindat residents in Chin State, Myanmar, were distressed to learn the Burmese Military had taken over the township state this week.

Like residents in some other towns, Mindat locals had risen up against the military junta who had arrested peaceful protestors and denied them release.

A local man, formerly from Mindat, who has been in Coffs Harbour for nearly eight and half years, spoke with News of The Area.

The man who wishes to

remain anonymous for the safety of his family in Myanmar said he and his family have been crying since he learnt that his parents and family have had to flee their home in Mindat this week, through a jungle, to a safer place where they can only wait in hope.

“My parents are in their seventies and have fled the township of Mindat.

“I spoke to them and they had to flee on their feet and my mum told me she nearly passed out when she was fleeing by foot.”

The man’s two brothers and two sisters have also fled with the two sisters carrying

their small children on their back.

Other family members are scattered as they lived in different areas of the town.

He explained that as the military have blocked the roads and bridges the family members were not able to physically meet and flee together.

The story is similar to his own when he ran with his family on foot from the military and some days survived on only a handful of rice for the whole day.

According to the man, in Coffs Harbour there are twelve families consisting of about

Corindi River Cleaned Up

By Sandra MOON

THE NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has reported that the Corindi River has been cleared of flood debris by an EPA contractor.

The clean up of the storm and flood debris occurred as a part of the state’s biggest ever clean up of waterways including shorelines, waterways and beaches.

The clean up follows the severe rain and floods in March.

Approximately 65 cubic

metres of waste has been removed from the river since clean-up works commenced in early April by the EPA contractor Avcon Projects Australasia.

“The cleanup involved a significant amount of planning and combined

innovative technology and aerial surveillance with on the ground intelligence from the public, community groups, council and other agencies to locate debris and waste,” Ms Ryan said.

End of an era for Olde Memories and Treasures at the jetty precinct

By David TUNE

DAVID Mann, the urbane and ever affable proprietor of the Olde Memories and Treasures antique store on the corner of Orlando and Collingwood streets has announced that the shop will be closing and that he will be moving on to other projects in the future.

The family business grew from David’s passion for collecting things.

His first major collection as a child was of 5000 bottles, which he then sold and began collecting pianos, which had to stop when he had seven stored in the family home.

At age 12 he had a market stall at the jetty selling bits

and pieces, and the family decided to open an antiques shop in the old ply mill on Orlando Street.

David then studied and worked for Hardy Brothers jewellers, managing a number of a-list accounts.

At one point, he even handled the crown jewels of Romania.

Eventually, David returned home to Coffs Harbour and took up the reins of the family business, building a strong connection to the local community.

Staff member and expert in restoration of antiques Anne Kennett said of her boss, “David is a natural buyer and seller of all things old and

gorgeous.”

Among the many varied and interesting items that have passed through the shop since opening in 1994 was a Sweeney Todd style barbers chair that had been used in World War One by travelling army dentists for treating soldiers in the war zone, and a Morticians day bed that was used around the end of the 19th century for taking photos of the deceased dressed to the nines and in repose.

David said, “I will very much miss our community connection and the family feeling we have with staff and customers, but the change in the dynamic of Coffs Harbour and in particular the Jetty

area has mandated that we either move or close, and we have decided to close this chapter and start an exciting

new one.”

The shop will continue to trade with a clearance sale up until September.

Penel Gamble has worked in illustration for children's books.

Storytelling and a sense of playfulness shine through her exquisite watercolor or acrylic paintings and drawings, in which nature’s creatures often make an

Through painting, Chetan Bloemhard works without a fixed idea, to explore the seen and unseen in the natural world, allowing the unknown to come to the fore in unexpected colours and forms.

Touches of gold are a

common thread through her work, “to remind us that all of nature came from stardust”, she said.

A lifetime of living, studying and working in the bush tuned Carole Helman into the exquisiteness of patterns in nature and ecological interconnection.

Her painting, drawing, printmaking and unenhanced nature photography focus on nature’s patterns and celebrate the importance of biodiversity.

Scottish Highlands the setting for local author Karly Lane’s new book

By Sandra MOON LOCAL author Karly Lane has released her seventeenth novel, moving from rural Australian stories to the Scottish Highlands.

A spokesperson for Allen and Unwin said, “Karly Lane has been an author with Allen and Unwin for 11 years, selling almost five hundred thousand copies and we are now pleased to release her seventeenth novel, Take Me Home.

“This is Karly’s first book into the commercial fiction realm and also a subject dear to Karly’s heart.

“The Scottish Highlands was the location for a recent

Ms Lane told News of The Area, “We went on a holiday to see things and I wanted to research on the trip about the family side of things.

“I knew then that I wanted to write a book set in Scotland,” she said.

“I have Scottish heritage on both of my parents’ sides and was brought up on stories of clans and castles and everything in between.

“I wanted to show people there’s more to Scotland than just the tourist spots.”

Ms Lane was thrilled to be able to include so many of the places she visited during

her trip, local places in the north-east, which made it all the more special to write.

Karly’s deep love for the highlands enriches the depth of scenery and characterisation.

This is a story of learning about your past in order to create a more fruitful future – filled with curiosity, adventure, romance and deep family connection.

Ms Lane’s usual genre is rural fiction and when she discussed her idea for the novel the publisher thought it would be good for Karly to enter the more broader genre of commercial women’s fiction with its focus on family dynamics,

IN RECOGNITION of National Road Safety Week, which runs from May 1623, the Coffs Harbour Road Safety organisation hosted a morning tea in the Regional Botanic Garden with Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight.

Together with the Men’s Shed and Botanic Garden

It’s not easy to qualify, as any keen cyclist would know, since DUBBUG is renowned for long, often fast cycle rides and there are plenty of hills on the regular rides.

“One thing though, it’s very sociable and there is always the mandatory stop for coffee and chats,” said David.

DUBBUG is quite a small, dedicated cycling club and, “for the more senior members, it’s an institution of immense pride,” said David.

Woolgoolga SLSC seeks change of conditions

By Emma DARBIN

WOOLGOOLGA Surf Life Saving Club has applied for a modification of the club’s approval conditions to allow the club to hold 40 night functions a year and permit live and amplified music at these functions.

The club is currently permitted by Coffs Harbour City Council to hold only ten evening functions per year and must follow a Council imposed condition that ‘no amplified or live music is to occur during evening functions’.

Woolgoolga’s new Surf Life Saving Club opened on

26 September 2020 and provides storage for senior and junior surf lifesaving craft, a patrol room, first aid room, training room, gymnasium, function area, radio and surveillance room, a cafe and amenities.

Emergency Concerns at Bellingen

By Sandra MOON

CONCERNS that the Bellinger River Hospital is closing or downgrading havebeen denied by the Mid North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD) but one Bellingen GP is not convinced.

Dr Andrew Heslop is a General Practitioner in Bellingen and also a Visiting Medical Officer and current chair of the Medical Staff Council at Bellingen Hospital.

He spoke with News Of The Area in his capacity as a General Practitioner with concerns for the Bellingen community.

“The MNCLHD CEO Chief Executive Stewart Dowrick has said that any claims the

By Andrew VIVIAN

MORE than 60 people attended the first of two meetings to fight plans to log State Forest compartments on Glennifer Rd. Local environmentalists noticed recently that the Forestry Corporation planning portal indicated that logging would commence in the compartments.

This resulted in a group calling itself ‘Friends of Pine Creek’ to reconvene after several years hiatus to discuss q

MNCLHD wish to close or downgrade are false.

“But the fact is the MNCLHD has been in discussion for the last five months and central to the discussion is closure of the Emergency Department,” said Mr Heslop.

MNCLHD Chief Executive Stewart Dowrick told News Of The Area the MNCLHD is committed to maintaining and improving services at Bellinger River District Hospital and said any claims it intends to close or downgrade the hospital are completely false.

Both Dr Heslop and Mr Dowrick agree that the MNCLHD have been meeting a group of doctors fortnightly for the past six months and

strategies to save an area that they say has high conservation value.

The ‘Friends’ say that the 500ha proposed for logging is a corridor for koalas between the Bongil Bongil National Park and the Pine Creek State Forest.

Koalas and endangered gliders have both been recorded there.

Caroline Joseph, from the Bellingen Environment Centre, said, “We have been communicating over the years with Forestry Corporation and

working to find a sustainable solution.

According to Mr Dowrick this includes looking at ways to provide flexibility of contract to encourage more local doctors to work in the hospital, supported by ED staff.

Dr Heslop wants changes to the model put forward by the MNCLHD and suggests a model of care that has more flexibility in the contracts for Visiting Medical Officers (VMOs).

“The contract mandated at the moment means the doctors have to work at the whole hospital and be on call three or four nights.”

“It is outdated and no longer fit-for-purpose,” Dr Heslop said.

“We have put forward that a doctor could just work in the

“We have had a video discussion with the Department of Health and they are amenable to any contract arrangement which is presented to them,” Dr Heslop said.

Mr Dowrick has also reached out to NSW Health.

“We have also sought advice from NSW Health, the Rural Doctors’ Association and reached out to other local health districts to look at ways to attract more medical staff,” he said.

native animals and forests.”

She said that a study from the University of Newcastle about the effects of creating a Great Koala Park (instead of logging it) found that approximately 9000 jobs and $531 million would be added to the community over the next 15 years, compared to 5000 people employed in logging and related jobs on the entire North Coast and $30 million revenue.

She said an easy solution would be for the government to buy back timber contracts.

The Mayor of Bellingen Shire, Cr Dominic King told the group that he won’t be having any more meetings with Forestry Corporation.

Cr King said that Forestry Corporation claims it does minimal damage when logging but this is not what happens in

practice.

He also said he was frustrated that there was no mention of droughts, fires, floods or climate change in meetings.

Cr King said arguments for preserving logging operations were similar to the arguments for coal, often citing potential job losses.

However, he said, Bellingen IGA employs more people than logging operations do in Bellingen Shire.

Kevin Evans, Chairperson of the National Parks Association, followed up by asking, “How do we talk to people who might be affected by phasing out logging?”

He said it has been done before, with state forests being designated as National Parks and the Government funding jobs transition.

He stressed that local efforts to defend forests had to go hand in hand with attempts to change policy.

He urged people to support Cate Faehrmann’s bill to establish a Great Koala Park by contacting ministers and crossbenchers.

Mr Evans said tourists come to see nature, not denuded forests and that the community creates national parks.

Dave Wood, from local group ‘Save Lot 2 Sawtell Road’, spoke about the fight to preserve Lot 2 Sawtell Rd, which he said contains three endangered plant species.

He said that Marion Grove residents signed the group’s petitions and reports that one even said, “We’ll lie down in front of bulldozers because we have nothing to lose!”

Dr Tim Cadman, who chaired the meeting, has been active in saving forests for forty years, told the group that deforestation in NSW is worse than in the Amazon.

Sawtell Historical Society unveils historic map to celebrate new premises

By David TUNE

ON Wednesday May 12, the Sawtell Historical Society celebrated their new home at the Sawtell Caravan Park with an unveiling of a restored and mounted map of the first subdivision of the area by Osmund (Osie) Sawtell from 1925.

Mayor Denise Knight was very proud to unveil the map saying, “Sawtell makes a big mark on the Local Government Area, and it is the village community that makes it a home for all who live here.”

The Historical Society has set up displays in the new premises next to the

caravan park reception building showing the growth and development of the area since its beginning.

Society President Pam Worland said, “The group was started in 1986, and has finally found a home thanks to the support and help from Mayor Denise and others, and we particularly want to acknowledge Shaun from the park, and the support from the Coffs Harbour Museum who organised the restoration of the map plaque.”

Pam also provided some insights into the history of those early days of the settlement.

Gallery Doors to Reopen

By Sandra MOON

ART lovers can soon return again to the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery with the announcement this week that the doors will reopen from 12 June in the gallery’s twentieth anniversary year.

The temporary closure was not due to flood water but due to flooding from a burst pipe.

The recent works were to assess and repair the damage caused by the burst water pipe and began in the Rigby House building in March.

This meant the closure of the gallery for exhibitions and viewers for a period of time.

The subsequent delay in shows included the much anticipated exhibition The White Bluff Project, a collaborative exhibition of artists, scientists, writers and musicians working on pieces inspired by the Sapphire Headland.

The White Bluff Project

is now rescheduled to be a home-grown summer blockbuster exhibition, from 30 October 21 to January 15 2022.

Gallery Curator, Chloe Waters said the highly anticipated project has been years in the making and is not to be missed.

“What an absolutely fitting close for our anniversary year: showcasing a unique, artist led project, born right here in Coffs Harbour that resonates far further abroad.

“We look forward to bringing the culmination of this project alive in the Gallery for the community and collaborators to experience and celebrate together.”

Ms Waters told News of The Area preparations have continued behind the scenes to reschedule and ensure an enticing program of exhibitions in the Regional Gallery’s twentieth anniversary year.

“It has certainly been an eventful twenty years, and we’re so appreciative of our community and exhibiting artists for their ongoing support, particularly during the last couple of months as we work to relaunch our 2021 program,” said Ms Waters.

“We are thrilled to be able to welcome visitors back to the Gallery from June 12 as we officially relaunch our 20th Anniversary Program with the opening of the 2021 Saltwater Freshwater Aboriginal Art Award and Contemporary Cultural Objects Exhibition.”

It is the third time Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery have partnered with Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance to present the biennial exhibition, celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts and culture from the Mid North Coast region, spanning the Worimi, Biripi, Dunghutti and

Gumbaynggirr nations.

The Gallery’s signature art prize, ‘STILL: National Still Life Award 2021’ will follow and open in August.

The $30,000 major prize will be announced on August 14 by guest judge, Elizabeth Ann Macgregor

remain named as they are but the GKNP would become an umbrella name over all the included reserves.

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

“We call on all MPs to vote

for the Great Koala Protected Area 2021 Bill,” Mr Evans said.

According to Mr Evans, the NSW State Government’s own assessment of where the highest priority for habitat protection for koalas should be, correlates with the proposed GKNP boundaries, but since 2015 more than 3000 hectares of this vitally important koala habitat in the mid to north coast has been logged,

placing further pressure on increasingly fragmented koala populations.”

He said that in 2015, the then Labor Leader Opposition Leader, Luke Foley MP committed an elected Labor Government to creating the GKNP as a priority policy.

However, the current Opposition Leader, Jodi McKay, has not made the same commitment to the GKNP.

“This is our third STILL and it’s our biggest and best yet!” says Ms Waters.

“We’ve had a record number of entries from around the country and we can’t wait to announce our finalists soon and showcase the diversity of still life come August.”

Great Koala Park Bill Presented To Parliament

By Andrew VIVIAN

GREENS MP, Cate Faehrmann, has presented the Great Koala Protected Area Bill (2021) to the Legislative Council.

Ms Faehrmann and environmental groups across the Mid North Coast are calling for bipartisan support for the Bill which will provide habitat protection to help save NSW koalas from extinction.

Spokesperson for the Great Koala National Park (GKNP) Steering Committee, Kevin Evans, said, “Time is fast running out for koalas in NSW. “Without habitat protection koalas will struggle to exist in the wild beyond 2050.”

The proposed GKNP would include the transfer of 175,000 hectares of state forest in the Mid North Coast of NSW into national park to create a 315,000-hectare Koala protected area.

Existing reserves would

q Cate Faehrmann, MLC and Kevin Evans at the Great Koala National Park Information and Visitor Centre at Urunga.

Mr Evans said, “We are now calling on Jodi McKay and her MPs, to support the Great Koala Protected Area, 2021 Bill.”

He said that loss of habitat is the primary reason why koala numbers have declined for decades, so supporting the GKPA Bill would go a long way towards saving koalas from extinction.

Despite widespread community support for greater protection for koalas, the NSW Government has not yet moved to protect core koala habitat on public land on the scale needed to address their dramatic decline across the state.

Mr Evans said, “Currently logging is either planned or underway in several mid north coast state forests identified by the government as important for koalas and which are within the boundaries of the proposed GKNP. “Our unique native forests continue to be destroyed for the princely sum of $28 a hectare or 20c a tree.

“Sadly, this is the reality of the NSW forestry sector,

operating with state and federal support but without a social license or even a profitable business model,” he continued.

According to an analysis of the proposal by the University of Newcastle, the GKNP proposal would deliver 9,000+ jobs for the Coffs Coast, and generate $2.8 billion in value for the nation.

“There is a smarter way to manage our publicly owned state forests, one that would support koala conservation and grow the economies of rural communities,” said Mr Evans.

“The Coffs Coast tourism economy would benefit significantly with the study estimating that the Great Koala National Park would increase visitors to the region by an additional 1 million per annum who will spend $412 million,” he said.

“All we need now is for the NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, to intervene and live up to her promise that she will be the Premier that saves our koala for future generations by supporting the GKPA Bill, 2021.”

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area

Celebrating 21 Successful Years at Park Beach HomeBase LOCATED on the site that used to be a sawmill, the then Deputy Prime Minister, John Anderson MP, officially opened Park Beach HomeBase in May 2000 and now, twentyone very successful years on, Park Beach HomeBase is home to a very strong retail mix of national brands and locally owned businesses.

Situated directly opposite Park Beach Plaza, the centre has attracted some of Australia’s largest names in retail, including Harvey Norman, Fantastic Furniture and Officeworks.

The opening of HomeBase in 2000 was the culmination of over five years of detailed planning and negotiations as the upgrade of the Pacific Highway overpass of Arthur Street was also in the planning phase.

“We were always certain that Park Beach HomeBase would be a major addition to the retail offering on the Coffs Coast but the centre’s astronomical success over the last twenty-one years has exceeded all our expectations,” said Steve Gooley, General

Manager of the Bachrach Naumburger Group, owners of Park Beach HomeBase and Park Beach Plaza Shopping Centres.

The Park Beach HomeBase success story also reflects what a major regional centre the Coffs Coast has become over these twenty-one years.

“To ensure that there is a wide and diverse offer at Park Beach HomeBase we have always been and continue to be mindful of what retailers we bring into the centre,” continued Mr Gooley.

“We are delighted with the more recent additions of Baby Bunting, Oz Design Furniture and Jaycar which sees Park Beach HomeBase with the strongest tenancy mix in its twenty-one-year history.”

With its comprehensive range of furniture, homewares, electrical, motor accessories, fitness, and services it is easy to see why Park Beach HomeBase has become the success story it has.

Open seven days a week and with plenty of free convenient parking Park Beach HomeBase is truly the

centre ‘Where Life Meets Style’.

To celebrate Park Beach HomeBase’s 21st Birthday, shoppers have the chance to enter a ‘21st Birthday Giveaway’ for their chance to win a share in over $21,000 worth of prizes including hundreds of instant prizes, plus go in the draw to win

SCHOOLoftheWEEK

Toormina High School

Public Speaking at THS THIS year, student interest and participation in extracurricular public speaking and debating opportunities has been exceptional. In addition to The Plain English Public Speaking Award; Legacy Junior Public Speaking Competition; and Premier’s Debating Challenge, Toormina High students have this year taken on Mock Trial. Mock Trial allows students to develop their skills in assessing evidence and formulating an argument, as well as learning how to think on their feet. It is a wonderful opportunity for students interested in pursuing a legal profession or wanting to challenge themselves.

Toormina High has a strong debating record. This year the school has five teams across Years 7-12 participating in the Premier’s Debating Challenge. Already the senior team has won their first two rounds and their chances of progressing to the next stage of the competition look promising. Throughout Term 2 and 3 our junior and senior teams will take on other schools from across the North Coast region.

Neurobionic Hand

YEAR 10 Science students at Toormina High School have just completed a depth study developing one or more concepts found within or inspired by the syllabus. Each student had

autonomy in choosing their own topic, their process of research, study or investigation and the final product.

Jade Blair produced a neurobionic hand. The hand was created on a 3D printer and uses a circuit board and a small sensor to pick up the electrical signals in your muscles. The circuit board uses this information to control a small servo motor that pulls the strings, making the hand move, as the electrical impulses that the sensor picks up are sent by the brain, this effectively makes the bionic hand mind controlled! Congratulations Jade!

Karaoke Friday

TOORMINA High School Library is not a ‘shhh’ library. During lunch on Fridays it is transformed into a space full of singing, dancing, cheering and laughter.

Every Friday students flock to the library to participate in Karaoke and Dance Friday, and the best thing is you don’t need to be able to hold a tune and even if you have two left feet you can still enjoy dancing!

Adrienne Gillingham, Teacher Librarian, refers to the library as a Wellbeing Library. “It is a space where all students enjoy being, especially on Friday lunchtimes. It caters to the needs of the whole school community and embraces an inclusive environment.”

Widower makes massive claim

AFTER a messy divorce, Tina enters into a relationship with Harry.

Tina already has two children, namely Elizabeth and Emma.

Tina and Harry get married and 10 years pass.

Unfortunately, Tina is diagnosed with cancer.

She makes a will leaving her estate to her two children equally and makes arrangements for her superannuation to be paid to Harry.

Tina also grants Harry the right to reside in the matrimonial home, registered in her sole name, for six months after her death.

Harry makes a will leaving his estate to his children.

When Tina passes away, Harry is unhappy about the terms of her will and after six months, refuses to leave the house.

Elizabeth and Emma commence proceedings to have Harry removed and in response, he challenges Tina’s will, claiming that he has not been properly provided for.

The parties are unable to resolve the matter at a mediation and a Supreme Court hearing is conducted.

The Court states that generally, a surviving spouse should be left with sufficient assets to secure accommodation and to have an income sufficient to live in the style in which they are accustomed, together with a fund to meet unforeseen expenses.

However, the Court hears that during their marriage, Tina and Harry maintained separate finances and each strictly paid half of the household’s expenses.

The Court also hears that during Tina’s battle with cancer, her relationship with Harry deteriorated and that Elizabeth and Emma took on the role of caring for Tina.

The Court found it to be relevant that by the time the hearing was conducted, Harry had entered into another relationship and had moved out of the house.

Harry’s $1.5 million claim is ultimately dismissed and he is ordered to pay $300,000 in legal costs.

DEAR Jasminda,

Is it okay to work from home in your pyjamas on cold days?

Since the pandemic, our workplace has continued to work from home, and I just feel more comfortable.

Mrs Tina F.

The fate of the Shearwaters of Muttonbird Island THE recent Prime News report entitled ‘Shearwater Breeding Crisis’ on May 14 is no surprise.

The devastating lack of chicks was caused mainly by rats and not by recent rain, people or the lights of Coffs Harbour, or a global food shortage.

These birds have survived for centuries through good and bad seasons.

The start of a Shearwater population decline was 25 years ago with the introduction of native swamp rats in the 1995-6 season.

Based on burrow counts the decline has been 80%.

I have been documenting the changes in shearwater numbers and the vegetation since I saw the first distinctive rat grazing pattern on 12 April 1996.

The rats depend for food and water almost exclusively on the succulent plant Commelina where the best shearwater burrows are found.

Rats use shearwaters burrows and make extra holes in the burrows making them unsuitable for raising healthy chicks.

They eat eggs from under the sitting birds.

Around 2000 bluetongue lizards were found on the island; they also eat eggs.

This last season in October 2020 we saw the rat numbers increasing and starting to use and damage

of the building and secretly rushed it through to the DA approval and tendering stage.

Now the first sod has been turned without any fanfare for such an historical event.

My questions to Council are . Who decided on the final design? . Why weren't a number of designs put forward for public scrutiny, input and approval? . What part does Council play in Culture? . Why isn't Council on the ground floor, giving street level access to the public, as at present? . Is Council building new premises for themselves at ratepayers' expense? . Will Council now be opening all of it's offices to the general public or will a third of the building be inaccessible to the public? . What provision has

Council made for extra public parking anywhere in Coffs to comply with all new build DA's? . Why does the Art Gallery and Museum still have to store valuable artefacts off-site in rented premises (ongoing costs)? .

What consultation was made with 18-30 year olds to ascertain their needs for evening/ weekend entertainment other than football and alcohol, e.g. weekly held dancing/concerts.? Young people are the ones who will inherit the debt.

Yes, we do need a Cultural Centre - one that creates its own income and is fully accessible to the public.

One that is adequate (1000 seats), undercover, with the right acoustics for Opera, local/overseas artists, eisteddfods, theatre performance, etc.

the shearwater burrows.

In late November when the birds came to lay (they can only lay one egg a year) most of the burrows in the areas where there was Commelina had been damaged.

We found bite marks on eaten eggs indicating some were rats, some lizards.

I estimated only 10% of burrows were left with eggs in January.

The rain probably contributed to further breakdown of burrows.

It was not surprising that there were only 20 stranded birds rescued in April.

Without drastic remedial action now, when the current adult birds die, there are no young birds to replace them.

This will mean that this island, once the most densely populated in NSW, will have no shearwaters.

Having healthy shearwaters chicks raised on this island in the future requires removing all rats and lizards now.

Regards, Narelle SWANSON, Bird Bander and Shearwater Researcher.

Regardless of what the Mayor says the rates are guaranteed to rise dramatically, but what do I know?

Dear Tina, I CAN totally understand the temptation to work in your pyjamas.

In 10-degree weather, who wouldn't want to be rugged up in their Oodie, bunny slippers and beanie.

Now many of us are still working from home, we are also paying for it with our power bills, so swanning around in something cosy makes sense.

The only problem I can see is that we should dress for the job we aspire to, not the job we are in. If you wear your pyjamas when working from home, you could subconsciously be paving the way for a slack attitude to your workday.

This week it may just be pyjamas, but by next week you will probably have moved from your desk to the lounge and put on the midday movie.

In a month's time you could potentially have given up on work altogether, instead eating ice cream and fudge sauce straight from the tub, wearing a mud mask and making nostalgic Spotify playlists instead of fulfilling your role as a procurement officer.

It may go unnoticed for a while, but how will you explain it away at your next performance review?

"Yes, John, I can see that we have run out of essential medical supplies, but on the upside, my job satisfaction is at an all-time high."

Perhaps you could just look professional from the waist up?

This will be particularly useful for any impromptu video conferencing calls.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Let Me Entertain You - Our Council's Dilemma Sorry We Can’t All Be Together DEAR News Of The Area,

DEAR News Of The Area, COFFS Harbour and District’s 49th Eisteddfod is commencing on 28 May. Because we haven't got a suitable venue to hold it all under one roof, the youth have to go to four different places.

Too bad if Mary is

performing at one place and her sister at another.

Where do Mum and Dad go?

It is the same with ballet and dancing classes, as students have to go out of town for competitions.

Tamworth has a population of 66,000 and their venue holds 4,800

people.

Coffs has a population of 78, 000 and we are lucky to house 350 people.

There was not a work man to be seen in the vicinity anywhere.

So many frustrated patrons as I was driving around to try and find a space.

This only goes to demonstrate the importance of available parking spaces for this facility which could never be the case in Gordon Street.

The patch up jobs on our streets are appalling while a little asphalt has been added to many cavities on our streets. The problem remains and some roads are no better than farm tracks.

Serious work is required on our streets it would seem it is not a priority.

Regards, Ann DEANS, North Boambee Valley.

Spend our rates wisely DEAR News Of The Area,

IT’S a shame Council couldn't have been doing something better with all those millions being spent on the Civic Centre, like reintroducing Kerbside Pickup which would mean only half of that waste

needing to go to the tip, as people love sorting through other people's rubbish - thus halving the amount going to the landfill.

More importantly, when that service was removed there was no reduction in rates was there?

No!

Now we have run out of room to dump rubbish and why is that!

Well, it's pretty easy to conclude that as the rubbish was piling higher and higher Council just swept it all under the rug and went on ahead, instead spending many millions on this ridiculous

OUR majority green leaning Bellingen Shire Council, via their relentless pursuit for the campaign to ban all native forest logging, face a huge dilemma.

There are three wooden bridges supposedly listed for replacement on Darkwood Road, supposedly with concrete.

We wait with bated breath, two have recently partially collapsed in recent months and remain in a sad state of repair.

I move now to a fourth, Hobarts bridge, wooden but still structurally sound, apart from all the cross decking, which is in serious need of replacing.

Two schools, a preschool of about 300 kids, plus many residents are upstream.

The dilemma for Council is that this decking can only be milled from mature hardwood native forests, and even then is hard to procure with no old growth now cut.

So therefore wouldn't it be total hypocrisy to allow this decking to be replaced from trees that they are totally adamant must not be cut.

So therefore, without a total backflip and loss of all credibility they will have to capitulate and surrender to reality or let this bridge collapse into the river.

This bridge also provides access for koalas north to

south.

There is no harm in having to eat a bit of humble pie, I know for a fact it doesn't taste too bad.

Finally that recent claim published in the media that Newry State Forest, a small forest south of Urunga was the only unburnt forest on the east coast, and also on average 140 mature trees are harvested per hectare, (maybe regrowth but not mature) at an average return of 20 cents per tree.

Why this sort of false propaganda in a so called free society remains unchallenged beggars belief.

Regards, Darcey BROWNING.

Pedestrians beware DEAR News Of The Area,

FURTHER to my letter recently (‘Get off the footpath’, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, May 7 Edition, p30) referring to those cyclists who illegally ride on the footpath in Ocean Parade, I’ve just been advised of a man who recently fell and fractured

five ribs after a bike whizzed past just after the Bowls Club and he jumped to the side of the path trying to get out of the way.

There are many people on walkers and walking sticks but use this path for their daily exercise. On any given day there will be numerous bikes riding on the pedestrian only section

of the path. It would be great to see large painted signs on the footpath of a cyclist with a line through it and maybe they’ll get the message.

If the police wanted to, you could probably book 20 cyclists an hour on some days.

Regards, Trish WELSH, Coffs Harbour.

Civic Centre which is, as we all voted against, totally unnecessary.

Meanwhile, as a new dumping ground wasn't sourced, all our rubbish has to be carted out of the area at huge expense - inevitably to us, the ratepayers.

And it won't be just a few dollars either.

Wait and see!

So, we are ALL looking forward to September and Council Elections, so we can have some fresh, community minded people looking after Coffs Harbour, doing

everything in the interests of town and people.

Now wouldn't that be something good to look forward to.

Regards, D. WILSON, Coffs Harbour.

Council News Column - Council’s Delivery Program Covers All Bases RATEPAYERS and residents are being asked to provide feedback on Coffs Harbour City Council’s Draft 20172022 Delivery Program.

The document, which includes the Draft 2021/22 Operational Plan, Draft 2021/22 Fees and Charges, and Draft Delivery Program Budgets 2021/22, is on public exhibition from 14 May to 11 June 2021.

The 2017-2022 Delivery Program which was adopted in June 2017 has now been extended to a five-year program through to 2022 due to the impact of COVID-19 and the decision by the NSW Government to defer the local government elections to September 2021.

In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coffs Harbour local government area also faced bushfires, drought and floods during the 2020/21 financial year.

Friday, 21 May, 2021

“The Delivery Program demonstrates that Council continues to deliver an enormous range of day-today services and facilities to meet the community’s expectations and ensure we maintain our excellent quality of life,” said Steve McGrath, Council’s General Manager.

“These include the provision of water and sewer services, waste management, development assessment services, public health and environment protection programs, tourism and economic development services, the library network, lifeguard services, community programs and sports, arts, cultural and community facilities – the list is long.

“In addition, the Delivery Program oversees the rollout of important projects which benefit our community.

“So far, we have seen the completion of Stages 2-4 of

the Jetty4Shores Project, the completion of a new $1.4m multi-purpose amenity building at Fitzroy Oval - the Old Camp Yaam Nguura Jalumgal in Coffs Harbour’s CBD, the completion of $6.5m upgrade works at Coffs Harbour Regional Airport, the opening of the West Coffs Park, the city centre revitalisation works under the City Centre Masterplan, the upgrade of the C.ex Coffs International Stadium, hosting major events such as the Elton John concerts and Sydney Sixers and significant progress on the design of the Cultural and Civic Space.”

Some of these projects will continue in the fifth year of the Delivery Program and some new items have been added into the program.

These priorities include the Airport Enterprise Park, the Sandy Beach Youth Space, the construction

of the Wiigulga Sports Complex, the construction of the Cultural and Civic Space, continuation of the ‘Whale Trail’, a road upgrade at Hulberts Road in Sawtell, the

addition of a light-controlled pedestrian crossing on Harbour Drive, the design of the Hogbin Drive/Christmas Bells Road intersection in Coffs Harbour, 11 bridge renewals and relocations of existing services in preparation for the Coffs Harbour Bypass.

The draft documents – and details of how to make a submission – are available on Council’s Have Your Say website at https:// haveyoursay.coffsharbour. n s w. g o v. a u / 2 0 1 7 - 2 0 2 2 delivery-program.

Submissions close at 5pm on 11 June 2021.

ANH’S BRUSH WITH FAME

ABC, 8pm

Over six seasons, comedian, writer and painter Anh Do has interviewed and effortlessly painted a portrait for a who’s who of Australian celebrity and talent. From TV stars, to politicians, sports people, musicians, actors and fellow comedians, Do has been spoilt for choice.

Interestingly, tonight’s guest may be a name many have never heard of but it will be one they remember after hearing his compelling story. Tonight, ChineseAustralian ballet dancer Li Cunxin (above) sits down for an expansive chat about his extraordinary life. Better known as “Mao’s Last Dancer”, Cunxin overcame severe poverty in communist China to become a star on the world ballet stage.

Now more than halfway through season five (after tonight, there are only three episodes to gorge on), the shenanigans in small-town Whyhope are as fun and diverting as ever.

With just the right amount of romance, frivolousness, comedy and tension, it’s an Aussie drama which easily exports its good humour and heart (it airs in more than 10 countries). Tonight, Hugh (Rodger Corser, Glitch, right) is forced to choose sides when his mother Meryl (Tina Bursill) sets her sights on ruining new flame Sharna’s (Chantelle Jamieson) career. Ken (Charles Wu) reveals a shocking secret when his parents visit town and Hayley (Chloe Bayliss) has a crisis of faith after a very bad day.

AUSTRALIA’S FOOD BOWL

SBS FOOD, 7.30pm

SBS Food has its fingers firmly on the foodie pulse with its banquet of homegrown shows.

Premiering tonight, Australia’s Food Bowl, presented by renowned chef Stefano de Pieri, is another addition to the degustation of top-quality shows.

Filming in and around his hometown of Mildura, de Pieri not only reveals the abundance of glorious food, but its hardworking farmers and what it takes to get food onto your plate. With a focus on sustainability and farming challenges, it’s a timely love letter to the bountiful region he has called home for more than 30 years, as well as simple, delicious food.

Programs Manager John Reid said this is the first time the Bus Stop is visiting Nana Glen and Ulong but has a long partnership history with the Local Health District, delivering in many other locations.

“The Bus Stops are a great initiative, offering free health checks in local towns in a friendly, inclusive program.

“Each health station assesses an important area of

a child’s current health and wellbeing, and gives parents the opportunity to address any issues.

“There have been many instances where issues have been picked up that parents had not identified – most of us are not experts in these areas and it is a great opportunity to have these checks done in the one location on the same day,” he said.

Children must be registered to attend the Bus Stop, and must be accompanied by an adult.

Registrations can be done at http://www.royalfarwest.org. au/programs/healthy-kidsbus-stop/, or by calling Royal Far West’s Outreach Team on 02 8966 8557 for more information. q

BONVILLE headland is a place which draws people in to start their day breathing in fresh air, marvelling at the awakening sky and spotting the dolphins, whales and surfers.

Dawn to dusk it’s a hub for locals socialising as well as solitary reflection.

The pink shirt of Father Michael, the tall figure of John, a variety of dogs and friends is a daily scene at 6am.

For John, the morning trip to the headland began as a daily practice after his wife Sandra passed.

“I’d sit on the end of the headland and Father Michael would join me and chat.

“It’s been such a help – everyone here has helped – and Ella (John’s dog) loves it.”

Father and daughter pair Anthony and Felicity are regular ‘headlanders’.

“Ah to breathe in the sea air – I’m Cancerian and always drawn to the water,” said Anthony.

Felicity says it clears her head before school, “I feel fresher for the day – it’s such a nice walk and we might see the dolphins,” she said.

For Amanda, “It reminds

me of how lucky we are, and my dog (Buddy) would kill me if I didn’t come.”

Trish, who comes up with her Mum, Noreen, said, “I love the colours of the sky

and nature – it’s so pretty up here.”

Noreen feasts her eyes on the sunrise, a sight she’s been soaking up here for almost 30 years.

Sawtell Ambulance station formally opened

By David TUNE

THE new purpose-built Sawtell Ambulance station on Sawtell road next to the Fire and Rescue station has been officially opened on Friday May 14.

NSW Ambulance Assistant Commissioner Clare Lorenzen joined with Coffs Harbour local member Gurmesh Singh and Deputy Mayor George Cecato to formally declare the facility open.

NSW Ambulance Assistant Commissioner Clare Lorenzen said local paramedics were involved in the design of the new station.

“These state-of-theart facilities will allow our

paramedics to continue providing top quality emergency medical care to patients when they need it most,” Ms Lorenzen said.

The new station has come about as part of the NSW Government’s $232 million Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration (RAIR) program.

The new purpose-built Sawtell Ambulance Station includes: • internal parking for up to six emergency ambulance vehicles • administration and office areas • staff amenities • multipurpose meeting/ training room

• logistics and storage areas • relief accommodation • internal wash bay • staff parking • sector office – locating local management under one roof.

Acting Zone Manager for the Ambulance Service on the Mid North Coast Tania Somani said that often Ambulance facilities are not entirely suitable, or have become cramped due to expansion, but that this new station has, “Finally given us a station with the footprint to manage local services extremely well.”

The station has been operational for two weeks prior to the formal opening and is proving to be beneficial for both paramedics and Coffs Coast residents.

WRITING a New Zealand medical drama, Shortland Street, is a long way from writing the speculative fiction The Last Circus.

Mr Marshall will be appearing in three events over the weekend including Shortcuts where he will read the first chapter of the book.

The popularity of speculative fiction has been rising recently and Mr Marshall believes it is because people are essentially wanting to find hope.

“We are reaching points of crisis globally and we all want to find hope about what's going to happen in the near future,” he said.

Young Biz group to reignite Coffs CBD THERE’S a group of visionary movers and shakers setting their sights on reigniting Coffs Harbour CBD to a thriving town centre that locals want to work and socialise in, as well as attracting interesting, diverse and go-ahead entrepreneurs, businesses and entertainers to revitalise the region.

Why not be inspired by Melbourne or Brisbane’s CBD's?

This is the question being asked by the spokesperson for the “Young Biz” group, beauty business owner, Nikki Williams who was born, bred and still lives in Coffs.

“We want to start planning now for life after

the highway,” Nikki told News Of The Area, speaking on behalf of the newlyformed group.

Fed up with whinging, this group is focussing on actioning a CBD plan, working collaboratively with Council, to create a place that the locals can enjoy and businesses want to invest in.

“We want to give accommodation businesses reason to invest or get ready to sell to investors to upgrade,” she said.

Many small business owners are also raising their families here.

“We want our kids to be able to stay in Coffs, so we’re asking ‘what things do the next gen require?’ and coming up with ideas on affordable housing options, including Uni campus

The group wants the next elect of councillors to have transparency and accountability.

“We want ground level consultations not outsiders telling us what they think is best and being paid to do so.

“Ask your people,” she urged.

Another key issue is planning how to build a nighttime economy; encouraging businesses to open later.

They call for more small-business support and consultation, such as during events they could band together and make the most

“We are looking for hope in those aspects of ourselves that might contribute to a sustainable future.”

Like many speculative fiction writers Mr Marshall comes from a historical writing background.

He believes being a research junkie of the past, as he describes it, helps the authors to then step a foot forward into the future.

Last Circus on Earth is set in 2070 and, “It looks like a circus from the surface but is more like a travelling militia and hides something deeper underneath the surface.”

The book currently has a Goodreads rating of 4.7, and an Amazon rating of 5.

Considering the protagonist is a murderer, and the plot drags the reader all the way across Europe and Russia to Central Asia, it is wonderful to learn that BP Marshall loves a happy ending.

TWENTY three players from Coffs Harbour and Sawtell flocked to Port Macquarie to play in the Junior UTR Series (JUS) tennis tournament, making up over a third of total entries.

Ethan Jeffrey from Englands Park Tennis Club Coffs Harbour won the boys under ten event as coach Tony Polack explained how these events are suited to players seeking to take their game to the next level.

“These days are great for children to treat as a practice day trying to implement whatever their respective coaches have them working on in an

effort to develop their games to the next level.

“JUS fixtures provide very low pressure, entry level competition that children would progress to after having played in the local Saturday morning junior competition,” said Tony.

Tennis coach and venue host, Greg Alchin, said, “About 60 children participated, with under 8s and under 10s combined, under 10 boys and divisions one through five.

North Coast Force set for representative season

By Aiden BURGESS

THE North Coast’s best junior Aussie Rules talent are preparing for another season of representative footy.

Excitement is at fever pitch as representative AFL returns to the region with the announcement of the North Coast Force youth teams for 2021.

98 players from Lismore in the North to Taree in the South have been selected across the four age group teams and will take part in an expanded program that will include carnivals in both the Hunter in June and Coffs Harbour in July.

AFL North Coast’s Community Football Manager, Paul Taylor, said that the return of representative footy has generated plenty of excitement.

“Players are always passionate about putting on the North Coast Force rep jumper and testing

themselves against the best players from other regions,” he said.

“Unfortunately, this couldn’t happen last year due to the COVID restrictions on travel, so we’re really excited to have rep footy back in 2021.

“Not only is the Force back, we’ve got a second carnival to compete in which means that we’ll be able to take away learnings from playing in the Hunter and use these to perform even better at the carnival in Coffs Harbour, “Our focus is very much on helping the players develop to be the best footballer they can be, so the chance to test ourselves, apply learnings, and compete again is invaluable.”

The North Coast Force program is being delivered in partnership with the local Sydney Swans Academy, which may lead to more players being offered the chance to join the Academy program.

Following the Force program further opportunities will be available to girls via the North Coast Academy of Sport AFLW program, whilst boys will be considered for the Northern Heat program.

Taylor said the Force program offered young players a pathway to progress to elite level football.

“Our representative program has come ahead in leaps and bounds in recent years, as has the

standard of play in our local competitions, so it’s great that the Force program can offer players the chance to not just further develop their skills and game sense, but also to continue to progress through the pathway, “We’ve had local male and female players make their way onto the lists of AFL and AFLW teams and we’re looking to help the next generation continue towards that goal.”

AFL North Coast runs the representative program

for both male and female athletes, offering North Coast Force teams at Under 13, Under 15, Under 17, and Youth Girls levels.

The North Coast Force teams have previously played against AFL North West in Tamworth on the June long weekend and in the Northern NSW Challenge in the July school holidays each year.

At this carnival the North Coast Force teams come up against players and teams from the Central Coast,

Hunter Coast, North West, and South Coast.

The Force’s first training session was held on Wednesday,12 May at Fitzroy Oval.

The Hunter Carnival will be held on Saturday, 12 June and Sunday, June 13 at Teralba and Warners Bay. The Coffs Harbour Carnival will be held on Tuesday, 6 July and Wednesday, 7 July at the Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park.

it to practice for the Over 40’s event on the June Long Weekend,” he said.

“I had my first drive since the Over 40’s in November, and that was the idea of the 40’s event is that it’s for dad’s to have a drive as well, like their sons.”

Morrison said it was good to see the future of the club on display at the Club Championships.

“Young Zoe Peckett, she’s 8 years old and it was her first race meeting and it’s amazing to see how much faster they go when they see others go fast,” he said.

“Her mother told me that she beat her time by 5 seconds from the start of the day’s

racing to the end.”

The Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club’s next major event will be the Geoff King Motors Over 40’s Russell Grimson Memorial on 11-13 June.

The club’s biggest annual event will see drivers compete for the Russell Grimson Perpetual Trophy.

“We had a field today of 150 starters and this year’s event was a stableford where the three best scores count.

“It’s just a good day and it honours a great former member of the club.”

“Bob was a character, a great mate and fun to be with who enjoyed life,” he said.

“He loved his golf, his family, and his beloved

Wests Tigers.

“And he played golf here for many years, over 30 plus years I believe.”

Bob Gately was a life member of Sawtell Golf Club as well as being the Sawtell RSL Club director for 12 years.

He also owned Bob Gately Mechanical Repairs for a number of years in Coffs Harbour.

Bob Gately passed away in 2008.

Eagles and Wildcats entertain in a nine goal thriller

By David WIGLEY

BOAMBEE Eagles overcame the Woolgoolga Wildcats in a nine goal thriller at Ayrshire Park last Saturday to win 6-3.

Prolific striker Kylie McDonald netted four times to keep the Eagles flying high at the top of the women’s first division alongside the Urunga Raiders.

Chloe Wighton bagged a brace and Lily Wilson completed the scoring for the Wildcats in an entertaining game of attacking football.

Eagles coach Neil Witherdin praised both teams.

“After a very good game the previous week with Urunga which saw the Eagles get their first win against Urunga for some time, the Eagles were expecting to carry on where they left off,” he said.

“What they forgot to consider was the tremendous determination and spirit of the Wildcats all over the park, what we ended up with was a free flowing game with a lot of emphasis on attack resulting in the scoreboard attendant being one of the busiest people there.

“For the Eagles four goals to Kylie McDonald, one to Krista Paunovic, and an own goal by Woopi was

enough for the Eagles to secure the win,” said Neil.

Woolgoolga coach and president Peter Knott summed up the contest.

“The game is always a good contest between us and Boambee, unfortunately sometimes the scoreboard doesn’t reflect how close our games are and yesterday we had two lapses in concentration which cost us two goals and that’s the way football is and you can’t afford that against a side like Boambee.

“Going forward we now know what we need to work on more at training,” said Peter.

“I think you would say the game was played with great sportsmanship, Eagles played the ball

The Eagles host the

record by also recording a win over the Swans.

Port Macquarie’s women earned their first win of the season with a strong display against Grafton.

The Magpies men couldn’t replicate the result in their first home match of the season, finding reigning premier Grafton too strong in the 89-50 result.

Northern Beaches recorded its first victory of the year in the senior competition by overcoming Nambucca Valley in wet conditions. The win keeps

the Blues in touch with the top four.

This Saturday Coffs Breakers travel to Grafton to play in the match of the day.

Northern Beaches will be at home against the Lismore Swans while Port Macquarie hosts Sawtell/ Toormina.

as people recognise that Coffs Harbour is a fantastic location for trail running and exploring," Keelan said.

"Other regional centres such as Armidale, Tamworth, Port Macquarie and west of Grafton have popular trail running events that people travel far and wide for and we felt that it is time to bring a dedicated trail and mountain running event to our region and put Coffs Harbour on the trail running map."

The End Peak entry is free and offers a scenic kids race, 5km, 10km, 25km and 50km all starting from Sealy - an iconic high point overlooking Coffs Harbour, Solitary Islands, surrounding mountain ranges and along the coastline into the distance.

This volunteer-run event is designed to showcase some of the best trails on the Coffs Coast.

To get involved in the

group and/or the event see their Facebook and Instagram pages, called 'Coffs Trail Runners'.

Coffs Trail Runners is a free social running group whose members love to explore the Coffs Coast’s beach, rainforest and mountain terrain that we are so fortunate to have in our area.

The group spirit is founded on exploring and sharing the best trails on the Coffs Coast for free and seeking fun adventures in the bush and along the beach.

Runs, and sometimes hikes, range anywhere from 5km to 20km but there is always a short or long and slow or fast group option.

Members usually meet once a month for a social run up and down the Coffs Coast, although lately they have been meeting more regularly in preparation to make a great show for The End Peak.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

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

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