By David TUNE MID North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD) began providing COVID-19 vaccinations to its staff at the Coffs Harbour Health Campus on Wednesday, 17 March 2021, and was the first NSW regional site to begin the program.

The first person to receive the jab was Nurse Unit Manager (NUM) of the COVID-19 Vaccination Hub, Clare Scullion, who was previously the NUM of the COVID-19 testing clinic.

She said it was important for everyone able to be vaccinated to do so, in order to protect each other from COVID-19, and is looking forward to giving others the jab.

Melinda Pavey MP and Deputy Premier John Barilaro hit the road this week to survey the disaster areas.

Ms Pavey was among a number of officials sharing information on the government’s disaster recovery assistance program.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh welcomed vital assistance provided through the jointly funded CommonwealthState Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

“We know our community is resilient to disaster, but when the worst occurs it is a relief to know there is help available,” Mr Singh said.

“I join with my colleagues in the NSW and Australian Governments in supporting local residents during these extremely difficult circumstances.”

Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott said communities are experiencing significant disruption due to heavy rainfall and flooding.

Local frontline healthcare workers roll up to be vaccinated FROM Page 1 my part in helping to protect our community, and I would encourage everyone to do the same,” she said.

“My brother and cousins in Ireland have had COVID-19

so I know firsthand how it can impact families and local communities.

“Mum and Dad back home have already had their first dose of the vaccine so it’s wonderful that we now have the opportunity to do the

same.”

The rollout is for phase 1a which covers healthcare workers who work in areas such as emergency departments, intensive care units and our COVID-19 testing clinics, and the

selected staff at the hospital are able to book a specific time to receive the shot.

Mid North Coast Local Health District Chief Executive Stewart Dowrick said opening the vaccination hub was an exciting time

for staff and the broader community.

“The Coffs Harbour Vaccination Hub is an important milestone for our district and NSW as we continue to rally against COVID-19,” he said.

“Our staff across the district are being encouraged to get vaccinated as an additional measure for keeping themselves and our local communities safe from COVID-19.”

The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine will be given in two doses.

Call for Anzac Day to be marked at local cenotaphs

By Emma DARBIN CONCERN over the holding of this year’s Anzac Day Commemorative Service at Coffs Harbour C.ex International Stadium has been raised within Coffs Harbour City Council.

Cr Keith Rhoades raised a Matter of an Urgent Nature at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 March to express his concern over the holding of this year’s Anzac Day ceremony at C.ex International Stadium instead of at local town cenotaphs.

Local RSL Sub-branches at Urunga, Woolgoolga, Sawtell and Coffs Harbour recently approved the holding of a joint Coffs Coast Community Anzac Day Commemorative Service at the stadium at 9am on Sunday 25 April, due to COVID-19 health restrictions.

The COVID compliant Remembrance Service will be a seated event restricted to an approved number, which is 3,000 at this stage.

“I was concerned to hear

that there is a proposal to conduct this year’s Anzac Day ceremonies at the C.ex International Stadium,” Cr Rhoades stated at the Council meeting.

The State Government has capped the number of people able to attend the Sydney Anzac Day march at 5,000, and attendance at Anzac Day ceremonies in regional areas at 3,000, with attendees having to register their attendance.

Cr Rhoades said after speaking with local RSL subbranch members concern was raised that the regular attendance at local Anzac Day ceremonies, in particular at Sawtell and Woolgoolga, didn’t exceed that capped level of 3,000 people.

“This is the most solemn day of the year for returned servicemen, and also for the families of ex-defence personnel who fought for this country in various conflicts around the world, and didn’t survive and paid that ultimate sacrifice,” Cr Rhoades said.

“And they have always had tradition that these events are celebrated at the town’s

cenotaph, where irrespective of where you are, that is the symbol of remembrance to this.

“I do understand that the decision to be made is entirely up to the sub-branches themselves as to how they do it and where they do it.”

Cr Rhoades called on the State Government to allow regional towns to conduct their Anzac Day ceremonies at their local cenotaphs, and asked for Council to request

the State Government to be more flexible in this situation in terms of the COVID-19 restrictions being placed on these events.

“I hope that there is some light at the end of the tunnel that the tradition can be maintained, and that the event of this very special day to so many people can be celebrated where it should be, and that is at their local cenotaphs involving the traditional dawn services and

the marches,” Cr Rhoades said.

Coffs Harbour Mayor Cr Denise Knight said she

was “sure we (Council) can reach out to our local (State) member with an enquiry.”

Active Australia Innovation Challenge

THE Heart Foundation is calling for entries in the 2021 Active Australia Innovation Challenge, which will award grants valued at $10,000 each for innovative communitybased projects designed to get Aussies moving.

Up to 20 grants are on offer this year, which is twice as many as in previous challenges.

Heart Foundation NSW & ACT Heart Health Manager, Anna Flynn, said physical inactivity is a key risk factor for heart disease, which continues

to be the single leading cause of death in Australia.

In 2019, 18,244 Australians died from coronary heart disease, or about one every 29 minutes.

The condition accounted for more than 10 percent of all deaths that year.

“Yet here in NSW, only around one-third of adults are active enough for good heart health,” Ms Flynn said.

“Statistics like these make it more important than ever for Australians to find ways to get involved in a more active

lifestyle.

“For a lot of Aussies, there’s a perception that physical activity means joining a gym, jogging around their neighbourhood or playing organised sport.

“These are all legitimate forms of physical activity, but there are so many other fun and innovative ways for people of all fitness levels to be active in their communities.

“That’s why we run the Active Australia Innovation Challenge.

“It provides an

opportunity for tertiary institutions, schools, councils, community groups and other organisations to tell us their great ideas for encouraging communities to get more active and live a healthier lifestyle.”

Past winners have included surf lessons for children with autism; a “silent disco” for aged-care residents; and cultural dance classes for people with impaired vision.

This is the fourth annual Active Australia Innovation Challenge.

AROUND 1,000 support personnel arrived in flood impacted areas this week to assist in the regional NSW clean up effort, including on the Mid-North Coast.

250 Australian Defence

Force personnel, 500 Rural Fire Service volunteers and 250 Firefighters will hit the ground to be deployed in areas where the floods have had a significant impact.

Federal Member for

Cowper, Pat Conaghan said that while the clean up has already started, we would not be able to undertake the massive job ahead without this support and expertise.

“I continue to be amazed

at the community spirit and unselfish way we’ve pitched in to help out those in need right across our region,” said Mr Conaghan.

“In addition to the wonderful job being done by

“We want to build on the success of the first three challenges and look forward to hearing all the bright ideas from communities for new and interesting ways to boost physical activity in their local areas,” Ms Flynn said.

“We are thrilled to be able to have a higher number of grants available this year, so we encourage eligible organisations to start workshopping their ideas and preparing an entry. We can’t wait to see what they come up with!”

Flood clean up support arrives the SES, having additional boots and machinery on the ground is much appreciated as we work together to rebuild our communities, and get our lives back together.”

The 1,000 support

Entries will be open for six weeks from 15 March 2021.

Shortlisted applicants will have the chance to refine and pitch their projects before a panel of experts decides on up to 20 winners.

They will each receive a grant of $10,000 to turn their project idea into a reality.

The Active Australia Innovation Challenge is part of the Healthy Heart Initiative, which is funded by the Australian Government.

Vaccine ADVICE

By Sandra MOON

MORE than 900 residents in Mid North Coast and Northern NSW aged care facilities have already received their first vaccination.

However North Coast residents are being urged to be patient as the COVID-19 vaccination rollout continues, as health care workers are urged to consider the extreme weather conditions.

As the staged rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine continues, Phase 1b vaccinations supplies are due to start over the coming weeks.

Participating general practices and Aboriginal medical services will start offering vaccination appointments to their existing eligible patients.

Phase 1b is for the over 70s, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people over 55, adults with a specified medical condition, health care workers and critical high-risk workers.

There are more than 100 practices participating in this phase and many people will be able to get vaccinated by their own GP. If you are eligible under Phase 1b but your general practice isn’t offering the program make an appointment with your nearest participating General Practice Respiratory Clinic.

Healthy North Coast CEO

Julie Sturgess said there’s strong interest from the community in the COVID-19 vaccine.

“We’ve been pleased that so many residents are keen to get vaccinated in this next phase, however, it’s important to take the time to check your eligibility before making an appointment or calling your GP,” Ms Sturgess said.

“If your GP is taking part in the vaccination program rollout, you may be contacted directly by the practice, when it is timely, about receiving your vaccination,” Mr Sturgess said.

“All eligible Australians will have the opportunity to have this vaccination in the coming months.

“While there is low risk of contracting COVID-19 in our region at this current time, we need to stay COVID safe."

Ms Sturgess said to use this opportunity while waiting to do some practical and helpful things.

“Take this time to ensure your Medicare details are correct, continue to practice good hygiene, keep on top of local restrictions and understand how to isolate if you need to. If you’re feeling unwell, get tested.”

And despite the extreme weather on Wednesday this week vaccinations by our NSW Health Local Health Districts began for health care workers.

Caution is being urged however for those workers scheduled to get their vaccination that may be

Mid North Coast Local Health District Chief Executive Stewart Dowrick said, “Our staff who are scheduled to attend a vaccination appointment at the Coffs Harbour hub in the coming days are being advised to exercise caution and only travel to receive their vaccination if it is safe to do so.

“Anyone who isn’t able to attend their appointment due to the current extreme weather situation will be rescheduled.

“We are closely monitoring the current weather situation and any potential impact on our health facilities throughout the

district, including Coffs Harbour Health Campus COVID-19 vaccination hub.

As record rainfall and strong winds continue across the region, Mr Dowrick thanked staff at local hospitals and community health centres for their tireless efforts to keep the community safe.

“I also want to thank the great many of our team who volunteer with local emergency organisations such as the State Emergency Service and Rural Fire Service,” said Mr Dowrick.

“They’re out there right now transporting medication to those cut off by floodwaters.”

The Lions Club are very proud that they have still been able to donate money to help the Service save lives on the Coff Coast and beyond.

Last week, Luke proudly presented a cheque for $6,000 to Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service Community Liaison Officer, Jennifer Dowd in support of the Service’s activities.

The Club are hopeful the fundraising board may be

able to start up again soon to see their support continue.

A spokesperson for the Club said, "We hope our club’s contribution can help keep this wonderful Service operating in our skies for the benefit of our community.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service extended their congratulations for Lions Club President, Jean Vickery, who was recently awarded the NSW Community Hero award.

This hugely generous offer is to support the humanitarian work of the organisation in our local communities.

Trained volunteers from this area are currently doing outreach work in Corindi following the recent flooding and other volunteers are

continuing with knitting and distributing the lovable Trauma Teddies and providing Hands On services at the Woolgoolga Retirement Village.

Your support is invaluable - please visit the Beachouse Cafe on Friday 26 March and purchase a coffee - or two.

Bushfire Recovery Grants – Round 2 Now Open APPLICATIONS are now open for round two of the Commonwealth Government’s ‘Supporting Communities in Bushfire Recovery’ scheme.

Grants of up to $10,000 are available to support local communities in funding grassroots, communityfocused health and wellbeing initiatives.

The grants are provided through Healthy North Coast’s PHN program, an Australian Government initiative.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Julie Sturgess said round one of the bushfire recovery program was proving a great success.

A number of events funded under round one have either already been held, are underway, or are scheduled to take place later this year.

“The aim is to help build social connection, mental wellbeing and resilience in our communities,” Ms Sturgess said.

“This supports healing and recovery from the impact of the 2019-20 bushfires.

“We have been inspired by the diverse range of initiatives creating local solutions for local needs.”

Successful applicants for round one funding included OzGreen, an independent not-for-profit organisation that operates in Australia and globally and works in partnership with local organisations and communities.

They have been funded under their headline initiative, Youth Leading the World (YLTW), to help young people living in the

Bellingen Shire and on the Dorrigo Plateau to recover from the effects of the bushfires.

YLTW equips young people with solution-focused tools to tackle sustainability challenges, generate a vision and innovate action plans.

Not-for-profit organisations, associations and community groups in bushfireimpacted locations in Northern NSW and the Mid North Coast are invited to apply for round two funding.

Funding is available for: ● Social connection activities to strengthen individual and community connections and build supportive relationships. ● Mental wellbeing activities to promote mental wellbeing, healing and recovery after trauma. ● Resilience activities to help the community build its ability to recover from and prepare for future natural disasters.

Fair falls victim to COVID

By Andrew VIVIAN THE Orara Valley Fair is organised and run entirely by volunteers and the uncertainties of managing an event that attracts

around 3000 people have proven to be extremely complex.

The organisers of the family friendly and popular fair have concluded that because of constraints and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, it is not practical to stage the Fair this year.

The compliance of social distancing requirements and COVID-Safe plans for each of the fair sections and events is too difficult to manage, particularly given the complexity of managing the onsite numbers and the car parking on neighbouring farms.

The fair has been running since 1976 and was established in order to support the ongoing maintenance and insurance costs of the community owned Upper Orara Hall.

The hall has been a focus of the community since 1908 and is used

by organisations such as local schools, tennis and cricket clubs, the CWA, local churches and Rural Fire Service.

In addition to supporting the hall, the fair has also supported a number of local organisations and charities over the years, including the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, the Pink Ladies, the Wesley Mission, Vintage Machinery and the Rural Fire Service.

In 2019 the fair donated $10,050 to local organisations, including the Upper Orara Hall.

The organisers are aiming to be back in 2022 with a very exciting fair and to help make this possible, they are asking for potential volunteers to contact them at admin@ oraravalleyfair.com.au.

The group will meet monthly to ensure they are all up to date with any of the changes and advice that come from the JP Association on a regular basis.

Every member of the group are current members of the JP Association.

Mr Tweedie said that the first task was to compile and print a roster of the JP desks in Coffs Harbour region including location and operating times.

The roster will then be available from those desks and other places where clients may be looking for a JP, for example, at the Courthouse.

JP’s are unpaid

volunteers and offer their services free of charge for anyone who needs them.

Currently JP desks are available at Park Beach Plaza Shopping Centre, outside Big-W on Monday and Thursday from 10.00am to 2.00pm; at Coffs Central Shopping Centre, outside K-Mart on the second and fourth Saturday of the month from 9.00am to 12.00 noon; Toormina Gardens Shopping Centre, outside Coles on the first and third Saturday of the month from 9.00am to 12.00 noon; and Moonee Market Shopping Centre, outside Coles on Fridays from 10.00am to 12.00 noon.

Global Sisters Want To Empower Local Women

By Andrew VIVIAN

WOMEN’s issues have been highlighted in recent times so it was fortuitous that Global Sisters introduced themselves to the Coffs Harbour community at the Success Hub in Sawtell last week.

Global Sisters aims to make business possible for women, enabling them to be financially resilient and ‘stand tall’.

The organisation began in 2016 and launched nationally in 2019.

It seeks to remove the structural and systemic barriers women commonly face to make self-employment a viable option for women.

This occurs through Regional Hubs and a digital, remote access program for “Air Sisters” to tap into a national collective.

Dying With Dignity Promotes Petition

By Andrew VIVIAN COFFS Harbour supporters of Dying with Dignity NSW want to collect petition signatures at community stalls at shopping centres, markets and street stalls across the region.

Dying with Dignity is an advocacy organisation seeking a change in the law for voluntary assisted dying in NSW. The organisation claims to have more than 700 supporters in Coffs Harbour.

They encourage local

residents who would like to support their campaign to come along to any of their stalls to sign their petitions.

One stall will be at the Harbourside Markets at Coffs Harbour Jetty from 8am until 3pm on Saturday 28 March.

The organisation will

facilitated an information session with founders Mandy Richards and Heather Thomson for local women who represent groups that work with women in the Coffs Harbour community.

Ms Richards and Ms Thomson talked about Global Sisters’ innovative approach to supporting women from the earliest stage of business ideation, providing longterm, end-to-end support and assisting with the launching and growing of their businesses.

They told the audience there is not a level playing field, and spoke about addressing the multiple systemic and personal barriers women face to successfully establish and grow a business.

Global sisters has three stages of support over a 3+ year roadmap.

Initially, they provide education about generating business ideas and how to

Last year, Alex Greenwich MP announced that he will begin the process of drafting a Bill for voluntary assisted dying and Dying with Dignity NSW is asking all MPs in NSW Parliament to work collaboratively on it.

Penny Hacket, the president of Dying with Dignity NSW said, "Laws are in place in Victoria, about to

launch a business.

There is a second stage of education about the tools, networks, coaching and microfinance to help women gain momentum in their business The final stage is to support women through education about business growth.

Ms Richards said, “Global sisters is a ‘one stop shop’ for business support for women.”

She told the audience that Global Sisters aims to provide alternatives for women to generate their own income.

They are hoping to establish a hub in Coffs Harbour that starts from the ground up.

The presenters want advocates for women’s business empowerment in the local community to tap into the Global Sisters network and use their tools to help women grow sustainable businesses from their ideas.

Ms Thomson said, “Community is the glue to hold it all together.”

Coffs Harbour Regional City Action Plan released

By Emma DARBIN THE Coffs Harbour Regional City Action Plan 2036 has been released by the State Government to inform the future growth and direction of the region over the next 20 years.

The Draft Coffs Harbour Regional City Action Plan 2036 was publicly exhibited on the NSW Planning Portal in June and July 2020 for comment.

The Plan sets a 20-year vision for Coffs Harbour, which includes key actions such as bringing laneways to life, transforming the former

Pacific Highway corridor, and supporting the growth of Coffs Harbour Airport with additional employment lands.

The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment released the final Coffs Harbour Regional City Action Plan on Tuesday 16 March.

The department’s Executive Director for Local and Regional Planning Monica Gibson said Coffs Harbour has and will continue to see growth driven by migration to the regions in response to the pandemic, and that the plan recognises that.

“Coffs will become an even

more attractive place for tree changers and city dwellers wanting a lifestyle change while retaining the best of city living,” Ms Gibson said.

“There are many benefits the plan will help us realise - the future Pacific Highway bypass, the city centre having an active night-time economy with more al fresco dining and a thriving arts and cultural scene, and an expanded airport that will confirm Coffs Harbour’s role as the tourism and economic gateway to the region.”

The plan includes seven collaboration opportunities and twenty objectives for government agencies and Coffs Harbour City Council to deliver together.

“All agencies and levels of government working together is the best way we can ensure planning for Coffs Harbour’s growth is measured and sustainable,” Ms Gibson said.

“This plan responds to expected population growth by aligning infrastructure delivery with sustainable housing - which makes best use of available land and access to services.

“We want to help Coffs Harbour fulfil its potential as a thriving regional centre for business, culture and government services.”

at the Coffs Harbour TAFE campus results in there being no TAFE course covering the trade between Newcastle and the Queensland border.

Adam Curlis, TAFE Teachers Secretary, said that the cuts come on top of the earlier closure of courses at Kingscliff and Wollongbar TAFEs. Tony Judge, Labor spokesperson for Coffs Harbour, is alarmed at the loss of opportunities for young people in an area that

is already suffering high youth unemployment.

“Where are the employment opportunities going to come from for our young people?”

Mr Judge said if young people wanted to work in a trade for which they cannot get training in Coffs Harbour, they would have to reolcate to the city.

He said this puts incredible strain on their families, both through their absence and the need to financially

support them away from home, resulting in many young people just giving up and missing out entirely on the opportunity of a trade career.

Member for Coffs Harbour, Gurmesh Singh, said the courses were cut because there were less than ten young people enrolled in the course at Coffs Harbour TAFE. “If interest increases in those courses they will be offered again,” he said.

The NSW government says that “in-demand”

Pollies Battle Over TAFE Cuts

By Andrew VIVIAN

A WAR of words has broken out over the loss of the bricklaying and floor tiling course at Coffs Harbour TAFE. NSW Labor is demanding the Government explain why there are cuts to TAFE jobs across the state and removal of courses like bricklaying and tiling locally, in the middle of a skills shortage and housing boom.

The termination of the bricklaying and tiling course

qualifications in areas such as carpentry, construction, plumbing, and water operations can be expanded, and a brand-new Multi Trades Hub at Coffs Harbour will enable TAFE NSW to train an additional 700 apprentices each year.

Mr Judge and Mr Curlis claim that employers have also voiced their concerns over the cutting of the course, and cited

an apprentice in Coffs Harbour who is forced to leave home at 3am to travel to Newcastle to attend a bricklaying course.

They said there are currently 27 apprentices in bricklaying courses on the mid-North and Far North coast and, with no TAFE courses north of Newcastle, employers are concerned that they will be forced to stop hiring apprentices.

Council adopts Community and Cultural Facilities Plan

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City councillors debated Council’s Community and Cultural Facilities Plan 2021-2031 recently, with Cr Tegan Swan calling on Council to introduce a new Developer Contributions Plan to fund the region’s cultural and community facilities.

The plan provides a strategic framework to guide decision-making about Council’s community and cultural facilities, their use and identifies future priority projects across the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area over the next ten years.

The Coffs Harbour LGA has a diverse range of community and cultural facilities across 78 venues, from libraries, art galleries and community centres, to rural halls, small museums and an indoor theatre venue.

The priority projects over the next ten years include the Jetty Memorial Theatre expansion (multipurpose and rehearsal space), Cultural Collections Facility (to support the regional library, museum and gallery expansion), Moonee Community Hub, Coffs Harbour Entertainment Venue, Ayrshire Park community meeting space, and Branch Library network expansion.

The anticipated timing of these projects over the next ten years includes Jetty Memorial Theatre expansion, Cultural Collections Facility, and Moonee Community Hub

(2021-2023), Youth Services and Recreation Hub, Ayrshire Park small community meeting space (20242026), and Coffs Harbour Entertainment Venue, and Branch Library network expansion (2026+).

Funding for the proposed facilities will be sought from Federal and State Government grants, as well as opportunities in future Council budgets.

Key project opportunities identified in the Plan to address significant regional cultural and community facility provision needs include the Cultural and Civic Space, Regional Performing Arts Centre, Jetty Memorial Theatre, and the creation of creative spaces.

The Draft Community and Cultural Facilities Plan 2021-2031 was publicly exhibited on Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ engagement page on its website in November and December 2020, with 28 public submissions received

by Council on the draft plan.

Submissions generally supported the Draft Plan, particularly actions to increase the utilisation of existing facilities, such as those within more remote areas of the LGA. The key issues raised in public submissions included addressing facility gaps, the development of spaces for young people, facilitating creative spaces, and alignment with public spaces principles.

Submissions raised specific sites, such as the

North Coast Regional Botanic Garden, or privately run facilities to be included within the overall facilities network.

The Draft Plan was amended by Council in response to the feedback received.

At Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 March, Cr Swan called on Council to produce a report detailing the process and costs to initiate a Community Facilities Developer Contribution Plan across the LGA to fund cultural and community facilities in the region.

“It’s identified (in a Council report) that it is a way to provide more of these facilities to the community,” Cr Swan stated.

Cr Swan called on Council to impose a blanket cost across the LGA, in addition to Council’s existing LGA wide Developer Contributions.

“Outside of our LGA wide Developer Contributions Plan there are currently 21 existing specific Developer Contributions Plans to assess specific needs,” Cr Swan stated.

“This would just form part of the overarching collective.”

Cr Michael Adendorff argued against a possible new Developer Contributions fee.

“If you have a Developer Contribution applied to a very worthy cause such as this, then why don't you have a developer contribution applied to many other worthy causes?” Cr Adendorff asked.

“I can’t understand why this one deserves consideration of a Developer Contribution Plan when there’s so many other things

that are waiting to be funded, and that could be supported with developer contributions as well.”

Cr George Cecato didn't believe Council should send signals to potential developers that it’s “hiding around the corner and possibly introducing extra charges”.

Cr Keith Rhoades said Coffs Harbour City Council was already “known as one of

the dearest for contributions to development of residential land”.

“It’s probably sending the wrong signal, we do have a Contributions Plan in place,” Cr Rhoades said.

Cr Paul Amos said in his mind Council’s Contributions Plans were already addressing cultural and community facilities.

Cr Swan’s motion for Council to provide a report

“IT’S ON AGAIN IN 2021”

on the process and costs to initiate a Community Facilities Developer Contribution Plan across the LGA was narrowly defeated four votes to three, with councillors eventually moving to adopt the Community and Cultural Facilities Plan 2021-2031.

Over the next ten years, the Coffs Harbour region is projected to grow by around 11,000 residents.

Council benchmarking report reveals gender inequity women.

There are no female Council CEOs, no female Council Directors, 27% of women are employed at Manager level, 38% are employed at Team Leader level, 45% are employed at Supervisor level, and females make up 33% of other staff roles.

The gender split by service area saw 3% of women employed in Coffs Harbour City Council’s Roads & Bridges service area, 13% of females employed in Parks and

By Emma DARBIN

IN light of International Women's Day and protests around the world against inequality and injustice against women, Coffs Harbour City councillor Sally Townley has criticised the lack of gender equity within Coffs Harbour City Council.

Cr Townley raised the issue while councillors were debating Council’s performance when benchmarked against 87 other councils in Australia and New Zealand in the Australasian Local Government Performance Excellence Program Report for the 2019-2020 financial year.

The participating councils included 50 from NSW, six from New Zealand, ten from South Australia and 21 from Western Australia.

The program measures and provides Council's strategic and operational insights into workforce, finance, operations, service delivery, corporate leadership and asset management.

The results of the annual Performance Excellence Report inform areas of focus for improvement initiatives for Council in the future.

The report detailed that only 34% of Coffs q Coffs Harbour City councillor Sally Townley has Harbour City Council’s called out Coffs Harbour City Council on its inability employees were women, to improve gender inequity within Council, with males and only 20% of Council’s still dominating the Council workforce. Photo: Coffs employees at Manager Harbour City Council. level and above are

gardens, 5% employed in Sewerage Services, 6% employed in Water supplies, 38% employed in Town Planning, and 63% employed in Governance and Administration.

The proportion of women employed across all the councils surveyed came in at 44%, compared to Coffs Harbour City Council’s 34% of female employees.

A Council report on the Australasian Local Government Performance Excellence Program Report justified the gender imbalance by stating “this result (and the overall workforce gender balance) is significantly influenced by the proportion of services/functions delivered by CHCC that tend to attract male candidates”.

“Specifically, this includes including civil construction and water/sewer activities which represent around 40% of the CHCC workforce,” the Council report stated.

Cr Sally Townley said at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 March that the report results felt a bit like “groundhog day”.

“It kind of feels a little bit like groundhog day in some ways because there’s really important areas where we just seem to really be failing to make any headway, and one of those is in gender equity,” Cr Townley stated.

“We’re not only not seeing an increase in female staff at upper levels, but even closing the gap towards gender equity towards parity at all levels of staff we just don't seem to be shifting those figures after five years.

“In other jurisdictions, for example New Zealand, they’re much much closer in

all levels of local government staffing to attaining something close to gender equity.”

The Council report on the Australasian Local Government Performance Excellence Program Report stated, “CHCC’s commitment to gender equity and diversity is ongoing and in seeking to improve our results even further, a revised Diversity and Inclusion Management Plan, incorporating the Equal Employment Opportunity Management Plan, will be prepared as part of an updated Workforce Management Plan for the 2021/22 Integrated Planning and Reporting cycle”.

Brooke Hanson joins Coffs “Jetty” Swim

OLYMPIC swimmer Brooke Hanson, whose family hails from Coffs Harbour, is making an appearance at the Beachside Radiology Coffs Ocean Swim, both in the ocean and on the microphone.

“In waiving the waste levy, the NSW Government is easing some of that burden by making it easier to dispose of flood and storm

“This will apply to all flood-generated waste such as water damaged building waste, furniture and carpet.

“We hope that this assistance helps communities to expedite their clean-up operations to help them get back on their feet as soon as possible.”

The exemption applies until 31 May 2021 on debris and waste created by local

Waste facilities will need to ensure the waste is flood generated before they can waive the Government’s waste levy.

In review: ‘Steel Magnolias’

By David TUNE

CHATS Productions returned to the Jetty Memorial Theatre stage for the first time since the pandemic restrictions were applied last year with their production of Robert Harling’s ‘Steel Magnolias’.

This play is something of a slow burn, with lovely moments of light and shade during most of the story, and then going through

an intense and climactic emotional evolution in the final scene.

With only six actors on stage, the workload for each person is demanding, and these ladies handled it with aplomb.

The early tension and banter between Shelby and M'Lynn is carried off beautifully in the context of Truvy's gossipy lightheartedness, Annelle's anxious uncertainty, Clairee's

reassuringly sensible outlook, and Ouiser's aggressive assertiveness, all clearly defined by the actors in the first act.

As the play progressed the individual portrayals and development of the characters was impressive.

The two younger actors, Emily Branster as Shelby and Emily Cooper as Annelle impressed with their wellcrafted personas, never seeming false and always

delivering just the right level of pathos and total engagement.

The two almost larger than life characters of Truvy, played by Jenny Garratt, and Ouiser, played by Mel Winkler, metaphorically jumped off the stage with crackling energy and practiced timing, bringing us squarely into small town USA. Virginia Craze as Clairee maintained a dignity of

www.newsofthearea.com.au character that helped to anchor the emotional ups and downs and brought her own touch to the final very intense scene.

And Laura Smith delivered the perfect mother’s role as M'Lynn, playing the strong, quiet and thoughtful foil to Shelby's determined optimism, and then presenting the most mesmerising and deeply moving scene in the denouement.

The phrase 'you will laugh, and you will cry' is often used in relation to

this story, and was certainly true of this production, with both reactions coming so close together that they were magnified by that juxtaposition.

Director Donna Fairall and her team have put together a lovely return to the theatre for CHATS, with audiences thoroughly enjoying the performances.

The show finishes on Sunday 28 March, tickets are available at the theatre or from https://www. j e t t y t h e a t re . c o m / s t e e l magnolias/

Farmers may be hit with Recycled Water fees

By Emma DARBIN

RECYCLED water fees may be charged to local farmers from 1 July 2021, following a recent resolution by Coffs Harbour City Council to consider introducing the new fees at the next Council budget.

Council placed on public exhibition a proposal to introduce the Fees and Charges for Recycled Water in October 2020, and Council received 38 public submissions on the new fees.

After considering the submissions, further changes to the Recycled Water Fees and Charges were proposed which included delaying the introduction of the fees to 1 July 2021, providing clearer definition of commercial, non-commercial and sporting bodies for the purpose of exempting non-commercial users and sporting bodies from Recycled Water Consumption Charges up to their allocated supply volume, and implementing a financial rebate program to incentivise and reward commercial users who are able to demonstrate a high degree of water efficiency in their use of recycled water.

Recycled water is created from a waste stream (domestic sewage).

Demand for recycled water has steadily increased since Council began the supply in the late 1990s, and now totals 59 customers including 34 agricultural, fifteen non-agricultural and ten Council facilities.

A Council report on the proposed fee stated that “audits and inspections undertaken by Council staff have identified occurrences where Recycled Water customers have allowed large

uncontrolled discharges of Recycled Water to enter downstream water courses”.

Recent studies by Southern Cross University found that nitrate levels in the waterways downstream of Council’s Recycled Water exceeded environmental guidelines.

“Isotropic analysis of these nitrates infers that recycled water discharge may be a contributor to this environmental pollution,” the Council report stated.

“The introduction of a user pays model is expected to be (an) effective behavioural change mechanism to disincentive misuses and/or neglect of Council supplied Recycled Water.

“Coupled with an increased audit and compliance program which is funded via the future charge, it is anticipated that a net reduction of Recycled Water entering the environment will result.”

Coffs Harbour City councillors were split on the proposed introduction of the new fee, when discussing the matter at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 11 March.

Cr Tegan Swan said it was good to see the funds raised from the new fee go towards supporting industry education as well as compliance matters.

Cr Sally Townley said the new fee would allow growers to rethink how they use Council’s recycled water.

“If we introduce a fee for this resource, I think that growers will be a little bit more careful in how they use it, but I think importantly it places a value on it and it allows Council to have a bit of an income stream if we’re

q Coffs Coast farmers may be hit with Recycled Water fees from 1 July to help address environmental pollution in the region’s existing waterways. Photo: Emma Darbin.

going to address the issue,” Cr Townley stated.

“By placing a value on it we’re starting to get a bit of a handle on the cost, on the usage.

“At the end of the day it is a valuable resource; I think it’s an important step in the right direction.”

However, Cr Paul Amos said the new charges were “not fair” for local farmers.

“At the end of the day, what we're doing is targeting 34 growers in the Hearnes Lake area,” Cr Amos said.

“I just don’t think that that is the way we should be heading.

“This is to stop the pollution in Hearnes Lake, but it won’t stop the pollution in Hearnes Lake.”

Cr Amos said Council was contributing to the problem by supplying local growers with polluted water.

“It’s not making any sense

that we should be levying 34 odd growers, and we’re supplying them some of the water that is doing the damage,” Cr Amos said.

“We cannot lower our standard here, and actually knowingly give them the water to use that is polluted.

“The Council in my eyes only has three ways to solve this, they either ask the farmers to treat the water once they get the water onto their property, they don’t supply the farmers at all because the water is not up to standard, or we treat the water again.”

Cr Michael Adendorff said Council was “on a very slippery slope” by introducing the new fees.

“This is the introduction of a fee or charge, today it’s this, in five years who knows what it is,” Cr Adendorff said.

“I’m concerned because farming is at the core of any

society, and by regulating farming we are treading water that higher levels of government will not tread.

“Intensive plant agriculture is largely unregulated as a result of Federal and State legislation specifically allowing that, and this is because farming is at the heart of what every society is.”

A Council vote on the matter was tied 3-3, with Mayor Denise Knight using her casting vote to approve the Council resolution.

Cr John Arkan was absent from the meeting, and Cr Keith Rhoades declared a pecuniary interest in the matter as he is an executive member of an organisation that uses recycled water, and he vacated the Council Chambers and took no part in discussion or voting on the issue.

Crs Tegan Swan, Denise Knight and Sally Townley

voted for Council to consider the new fees, and Crs Micheal Adendorff, Paul Amos and George Cecato voted against.

Council resolved to consider during the upcoming 2021/22 budget setting processes, the introduction from 1 July 2021 of the Recycled Water Consumption Charge of 20 cents per kilolitre of recycled water, a Recycled Water Access and Licensing Charge of $447 per year, and a Recycled Water Consumption Charge of $2 per kilolitre for excess use of one’s allocated supply volume.

If approved, Council intends to increase the Recycled Water Consumption Charge progressively over the next three years to 10% of the potable Residential Water Consumption Charge in the 2022/2023 financial year, 15% in the 2023/2024 financial year, and 20% in the 2024/2025 financial year.

backing themselves and their teammates.”

Tamlan McKay, CHWP President said, “The recent carnival was a great success bringing much needed interclub games to northern NSW. “Our junior teams eagerly awaited the opportunity to test their new skills against other clubs and showed a massive improvement across the board from previous encounters.

“Feedback from the visiting clubs has been fantastic and we have already locked in the date for next year."

Harriet Playle, Juniors Coach/Manager said, “I was so proud watching the juniors put into action their skills and experience that they have worked hard on all summer.

“Our experienced players who have been with CHWP club for up to five years know

each other well and have consequently created a more powerful and coordinated team play this season in both A and B grades.

“Some of these players are looking forward to playing at Homebush in April against juniors from across NSW. “It augurs well for the club that we have at least ten players with the ability now to play State level water polo - a huge achievement for the club.

“We are also grateful for our families who have brought along their water-loving friends and created a lovely friendly atmosphere within the club,” Ms Playle said.

A confident team will head off for an upcoming tournament on March 27 in Taree, another town with a local water polo team, the Mid North Coast Tritons.

Call to be cyber wise in 2021 Teens arrested AUSTRALIANS are being urged to cyber cull and pause before they post on social media to protect themselves from cyber criminals, fraudsters, organised crime gangs and sex offenders.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is warning that social media users are posting too much personal and professional information, and some have become easy

targets for criminals.

AFP Assistant Commissioner Justine Gough said the advice was not just for younger Australians, but for government employees, those who worked in sensitive areas, and single parents who revealed the ages of their children on dating websites.

"You wouldn't give a stranger your phone number, your date of birth or provide them with a photo album of your children.

"But too many Australians are essentially doing this by posting this information online and not turning on strict privacy controls.”

Assistant Commissioner Gough said some Australians could be targeted because of their position within a company, government agency or university.

People may pretend to be an employer or recruiter wanting to hire, and groom a victim to understand what access or knowledge they have within an organisation.

In other cases, people are putting their financial security at risk.

"Criminals are harvesting information, stealing identities and then stealing victims' money, or taking out credit cards in victims' names,” Assistant Commissioner Gough said.

“In some cases, criminals have been able to obtain personal information and access financial accounts.

"People who are selling second-hand goods on websites and provide their mobile phone number can leave themselves vulnerable to phishing attacks.”

Assistant Commissioner Gough said personal information is a valued commodity for criminals, who can sell this on to others in forums on the dark web.

"We also know child sex offenders have looked for victims by targeting single parents on dating websites,” Assistant Comissioner Gough

Coffs Hotel turns green for St Patrick's Day q Marty Phillips celebrating standing up, as COVID-19 restrictions were eased on St Patrick's Day.

By David WIGLEY THE Coffs Hotel turned green on St Patrick's Day as locals flocked to the Irish pub for pints of the black stuff and good ‘craic’ as local bands performed all day.

Celebrations ramped up when Coffs Coast Pipes and Drums paraded through the pub playing bagpipes and beating the drums as punters celebrated standing up in a pub for the first time in a year.

Maybe it was partly down to the luck of the Irish that the NSW Government chose St Patrick's Day to ease some of the longstanding COVID-19 restrictions for licensed venues.

All day entertainment included the dynamic duo Bad Sneakers who pumped out an eclectic mix of hits from the 1950’s to the present day whilst the charismatic Kailey Pallas headlined in the front bar, playing an array of blues, soul, jazz, pop and rock songs.

Popular publican Marty Phillips was delighted with the day after a torrid 2020.

“It was a proper celebration of Paddy’s Day and finally being able to have drinks standing up with your family or friends, even other Patrons was a blessing.

“Everything went so well without any hiccups, a true reflection of the quality crowd, well celebrated.

“Next year will be our 25th year of Paddy's Day, a big celebration, so mark that in the calendar, Thursday 17 March 2022,” said Phillips.

Guardianship goes unrewarded JOHN lives alone in rental accommodation.

He has a relatively small bank account and apart from his car and household effects, his only other significant asset is a substantial superannuation fund that he conscientiously contributed to during his working career.

Since his wife passed-away several years ago, he has not heard from his two children, despite John sending them Birthday and Christmas cards.

John is concerned that if he loses the mental capacity to make decisions about his welfare, such as where he lives and what medical treatment he should receive, that his children, as his “next of kin” could make decisions for him which may not be in his best interests.

To prevent this from occurring, John executes an Appointment of Enduring Guardian, appointing his life-long mate, Fred.

In recognition of Fred’s willingness to take on the role of Guardian, John contacts his super fund and nominates Fred as the recipient of his superannuation upon his death.

John also makes a will, leaving his car and his bank accounts to Fred and decides to leave the remainder of his small estate to charity.

He intentionally disinherits his children.

When John needs a higher level of care, Fred sources an appropriate nursing home and after his admission, visits him daily.

When John passes away, Fred contacts the super fund and seeks payment. Unfortunately, he is informed that because Fred was never a dependent of John’s, he cannot receive the funds.

Instead, the superannuation fund pays John’s super to his estate and given the wording of the will, it ends up going to the charity and Fred misses out.

Fred does not have standing to make a claim against John’s estate for further provision.

Proper estate planning could have given effect to John’s wishes.

DEAR Jasminda,

I RECENTLY made a negative comment about someone jet skiing in the duck pond during the floods and now I'm apparently a whinger.

I was concerned about the safety aspect and flood water whooshing into houses, but instead I am one of those people who can't have a bit of fun.

Care about Boambee Headland? Join Landcare DEAR News Of The Area, IN response to Jenni George, (NOTA 19 March Edition, ‘Sort Out Boambee Headland’).

It is pretty obvious that the Headland has a number of challenging and complex issues that need to be addressed.

With deeply entrenched invasive weed infestations, erosion on steep slopes, discarded rubbish, native species that are still coming

back from a period of drought (not to mention a harsh marine environment), evidence of die back in some species, and a history of haphazard human intervention, mowing is probably the least important.

Rather than criticize the Council contractors who have limited opportunities to make a difference in a particularly challenging mowing season, and are also probably unable to comment here; I would suggest Jenni and anyone else who would like to improve Boambee Headland, consider

FOR a long time there has been a groundswell of well meaning people who would like to see this country run on renewable electricity, mainly solar panels and wind turbines and in the process shut down coal fired power stations, which are currently used as backup in times of high demand and/or days when the sun does not shine and wind does not blow for the turbines.

Well the time has arrived, clearly

joining the small group of Landcare volunteers who are attempting to address some of these bigger issues.

The Headland is a local gem, has an amazing range of biodiversity, including several endangered and protected species (including Floyd’s Grass before you go getting out your own mower!), and is certainly worth protecting.

Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare have an office in Lawson Drive, contact by phone at 6651 1308.

Sincerely, Dave WOOD, Boambee East.

CHCC Equality of votes DEAR News Of The Area,

DR Jan Strom’s comments of 12 Mar 2021 NOTA re representative democracy as it relates to the casting vote of the Chair, is unarguably correct.

Nevertheless, there is an additional relevant fact not included: voters elected nine councillors, an uneven number, the purpose of which is to avoid an equality of votes with its resulting necessity for the use of the

Mayoral casting vote.

However Coffs Harbour City Council, for reasons best known to itself, seems to frequently be short of one councillor, leaving eight bodies instead of nine, resulting in an unfortunate repetition of ‘equality of votes’ situations.

Come September, with a reversion to the uneven number of nine councilors, the casting vote should become less frequently

The fact you are the latter doesn't make you a whinger, but someone with a bit of common sense.

There are clear directives for what to avoid during floods -- water over the road, non-essential travel and so on, and certain safety measures such as sandbagging or moving items to higher ground in the event of a flood.

For others, though, a flood somehow beckons them to dust off their kayaks, windsurfers, surfboards and (God-helpus) jet skis and use them as mobility devices on flooded roads and retention pits for water runoff.

There, floating along with sewerage from people's overflowing septics and dangerous tree limbs and mud, you will find Garry doing a bit of impromptu paddle boarding or Kim lolling around on a blowup flamingo without a care in the world.

Next to them voyeurs in cars ignore water across the road so they can create waves and make impromptu videos of people's homes going under.

What fun.

Then there's parents videoing their kids who are slowly sinking in what looks like quicksand in flooded beach car parks.

Boys will be boys, they laugh.

To have this desire for self-gratification over the health and safety of others, including rescue workers, is truly mind boggling.

If that makes you a whinger, Mary, then I think we should all take a leaf out of your book.

Carpe diem, Jasminda

OPINION & LETTERS

media@newsofthearea.com.au

From the Mayor’s desk

Our area appears to be holding up well so far despite the massive rainfall, but whatever happens I know our community will pull together and look after each other.

My thanks, once again, to all the amazing SES volunteers and emergency services personnel who do so much for us at times of need.

Coffs Flying High

By Mayor Denise KNIGHT Coffs Harbour City Council

SEVERE Weather As I write this we’re still in the midst of the severe weather that has pounded the entire Mid North Coast for days.

From next month Coffs Harbour Airport is going to be able to offer 210,000 extra seats a year on flights linking Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne with the city following the recentlyannounced new and increased services we have with Qantas and Rex Airlines.

The great news is that both airlines will start offering the new services just in time for the upcoming Easter holidays.

News Of The Area

Qantas will launch direct flights to Coffs Harbour from Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as increase the aircraft size on one of its daily Sydney services from 1 April, while Rex is offering 18 return services to Sydney every week.

Having regular flights to Melbourne restored and increased services on both the Sydney and Brisbane routes is going to provide a further boost for the local tourism industry and the broader Coffs Coast economy.

As we all know, international tourism and air travel has taken a massive hit as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and some destinations around Australia are having a very hard time at the moment as they have previously had a lot of overseas visitors.

Locally, we’ve always been very much a domestic holiday hotspot with a very small

percentage of international tourists and Coffs Coast tourism operators have been reporting huge numbers of visitors coming here as the message to visit regional Australia has seen even more people choosing to come here from other parts of NSW. Having direct services to Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as Sydney, also puts us in an incredibly favourable position as we move forward out of the pandemic.

Not only does it put us on a very sure tourism footing, but having direct access to three fantastic state capital cities means we have the potential to support a growing business travel market, as well as providing important links to family and friends.

I hope you get to make the most of those links this Easter.

Paying the price DEAR News Of The Area, WHO will pay for the massive and extensive flooding on our east coast over the past week?

And who is paying for the most extensive bushfire event in memory only a year earlier?

The economic burden to taxpayers is enormous and don't forget the heartache and trauma these events inflict on the victims.

There is a huge environmental cost too.

These extreme and more frequent weather events are a result of the compounding costs of climate inaction.

Science has told us this would happen.

The Australian Government has failed to substantially reduce emissions over the past decade.

It has continued to promote the burning of coal and gas that is a major cause of climate change. What we see from most of our leaders is a policy of delay.

We need bold, concerted action across all levels of government, business, industry and community to reduce Australia’s emissions to net zero as soon as possible, and prepare for worsening extreme weather events.

Regards, Russell CHIFFEY, Coffs Harbour.

The couples in this matrimonial time trial may be past the halfway point, but it’s certain that there’s still plenty of drama to be had. In tonight’s fourth commitment ceremony, the series’ resident hothead Bryce drops a bombshell that is sure cause trouble in his relationship with strong-and-silent Melissa, while rock star Booka and hubby Brett face a huge decision. As always, experts Mel Schilling, Alessandra Rampolla (above) and John Aiken are standing by to offer their thoughts on the couples’ progress.

Former model and Emmy Awardwinning host of Top Chef, Padma Lakshimi, takes viewers on an arresting pilgrimage in this attentive food series. The food looks delicious, and Lakshimi is effortlessly engaging, but it’s the fascinating story of how immigrants keep their culture after arriving in America that flavours this smart offering.

Sawtell Art Gallery Gets Social Dine and discover

q

By Andrea FERRARI

Sawtell Art Gallery Secretary Alison Bird and President Pene Charles.

SAWTELL Art Gallery is looking ahead to an exciting year of new creativity with the appointment of Jasmine Winter as head of Social Media.

Speaking after the gallery’s AGM on Monday night, March 15, re-elected President, Pene Charles commented, “Jasmine is full

of enthusiasm and zeal and is exactly the kind of person we need to build and promote the gallery’s profile.

“She’s young and has the digital skills to embrace the internet in ways that we haven’t so far.”

Working with Pene and reelected Secretary Alison Bird and the committee, Jasmine’s brief is to build sustainability into the gallery’s future.

“Jasmine is one of those people where nothing’s too much trouble.

She’s got the energy and verve to grow the whole offer of classes, workshops, exhibitions and how we can work more with the local community”, said Pene.

Jasmine has been working with the gallery as a tutor since early 2020 and has taken over the Kids Class.

“She’s done such a great job we now have the demand to start a new class for the kids,” said Pene.

Her first workshop was also a huge success.

Focussing on creating art from ‘found materials’ she guided the youngsters through the process of reworking recycled and rubbished items to create works of art.

THE 6th Clarence Valley Camp Oven Festival will run from 11 to 14 June at Nymboida Camping and Canoeing in Nymboida NSW. In a community still recovering from the devastating 2019 bushfires, in which 90 homes were lost, followed by the pandemicinduced cancellation of the 2020 festival, the management committee for Nymboida Camping & Canoeing are delighted to announce the return of this much-loved event.

Festival Creative Director Laena Stephenson said, “Moving to the June long weekend means we’ve added a whole extra days’ fun and entertainment.

“This year people can

look forward to a program that celebrates multicultural Australia and showcases the wonderful diversity of people living in our region.

“It really is a feast for the senses, with live music, the Poet’s Breakfast, a bush dance, the fiercely-contested Camp Oven Cooking and Billy Boiling competitions and family fun games such as Rubber Ducky Race and Cardboard Kayak Calamity.

“Our headline acts will be announced soon, so sign up for updates via our website or follow us on Facebook to be the first to hear.”

The event organisers have gone to lengths to ensure the festival can be run in a covidsafe manner.

Festival Manager Phil

Nicholas said, “It’s absolutely crucial that customers feel safe and protected at such events, which is why we’re implementing a comprehensive plan in response to current restrictions.

“In the large part, the restrictions don’t materially impact on the festival experience.

“For instance, there will be designated seating areas at each performance area.

“Those who camp overnight at the festival tend to bring their own chair anyway, so they will be directed to sit in specific spots with adequate distance separating family groups.

“As for the bush dance, it can take place in the open air,

with family groups staying within their marked area.

“Our bush band, the brilliant Sunburnt Celts, have managed dances in this way before and it’s loads of fun, just without the partnerswapping.”

The festival is calling for volunteers, who can receive a complementary festival pass and camping, to apply via the website.

Food vendors and market stallholders are also encouraged to apply online.

Weekend camping and festival passes are on sale now from the venue office, call 02 6640 4155 or head to www. clarencevalleycamp ovenfestival.com for further information.

Life as a muso

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Coast is blessed with high quality musicians who are looking to bounce back from the pandemic.

After headlining the St Patrick’s Day celebrations at the Coffs Hotel, local musician Kailey Pallas spoke to News Of The Area about her life as a musician on the Coffs Coast.

“I've been singing as long as I can remember as my dad is a pianist, I started playing guitar and performing when I

was six and used to go busking at the Newcastle farmers market.

“The biggest audience I’ve performed in front of so far is 10,000 at the Coffs carols in 2019,” said Kailey.

COFFS Coast residents can now take advantage of the State Government’s muchanticipated Dine & Discover NSW program, said Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh Dine & Discover NSW is being rolled out progressively across NSW, with the first two stages under way, including our electorate.

Mr Singh said the $500 million program will boost local businesses.

“These vouchers will breathe new life into the local economy and help ease the cost of living for families,” Mr Singh said.

“The busy summer period is well and truly over and now is an ideal time to support businesses and encourage customers to get out and about safely.

“This stimulus will bring much needed relief to some of our community’s hardesthit industries. We want businesses to grow and thrive and for workers to stay in jobs.

“Whether it’s a café, restaurant, cinema or gallery, these industries have been hit hard by the pandemic, but these vouchers will encourage more customers to come through the door and spend.

“The vouchers are simple and easy to use, with customers able to spend them via the Service NSW app.

“The app is seamless, contactless and safe.”

NSW residents can easily apply online to receive their vouchers through the latest version of the Service NSW app and website, and a nondigital solution will be made

available to customers who don’t have a smartphone or compatible device.

Every NSW resident aged 18 and over will be eligible for four $25 vouchers worth $100 in total, to spend in participating businesses.

Dine & Discover NSW vouchers will be divided into two categories: • Two $25 vouchers to be used for eating in at restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs and clubs 7 days a week, excluding public holidays.

• Two $25 vouchers to be used for entertainment and recreation, including cultural institutions, live music, and arts venues, available 7 days a week, excluding public holidays.

It’s not too late for businesses to register, and vouchers are valid until 30 June 2021.

The vouchers can only be used at eligible businesses that have implemented a COVID Safety Plan and are registered as COVID Safe.

Throughout each week, vouchers will become available in more Local Government Areas.

Jack Sheehan (U/18) earnt a silver medal in the 110m hurdles, while Amaia Wain (U/15) earnt a bronze medal in the high jump.

Daniel Williams also earned a silver medal in his 3000m event.

Coffs Harbour Track and Field coach Glenn Thacker was pleased with his team of athletes fared against the state’s best, especially in difficult conditions in Sydney.

“These results were achieved with lightning postponing the last of Fridays events, 33 plus temperatures on Saturday and wet and cold conditions on Sunday,” he said, “Overall, the athletes handle conditions well producing some solid performances.”

Although missing the weekend’s events Lulu McGrath (U/16 Triple Jump), Linc Henry (U/14 90m Hurdles) and Jade Kitching (U/16 800m) will join Alex Harrison (U/20 High Jump & Heptathlon), Jack Sheehan (U/18 110m & 400m Hurdles), Hayley Kitching (U/18 800m & 1500m), Olissa Onley (U/18 3000m), Amaia Wain (U/15 High Jump) and Danial Williams (U/15 1500m & 3000m), as they will all be off to the Australian Junior Championships in Sydney in April.

FFA Cup games postponed

By Aiden BURGESS NORTH Coast Football clubs have had to wait to join this year’s Football Federation Australia (FFA) Cup, after their opening matches were postponed for one week due to the recent wet weather.

The postponed matches are scheduled to be played this weekend, as local teams play their first matches of this year’s FFA Cup. The Sawtell Scorpions and Boambee Bombers are scheduled to meet at 3pm at Toormina Oval tomorrow afternoon, while the Coffs City United Lions host Byron Bay FC on Sunday from 2pm at Forsyth Park.

The Lions and Byron Bay meet in a clash of champions, with the Lions the defending Coastal Premier League champions, and Byron Bay last year’s Far North Coast Football premiers.

Not being a familiar opponent with a team like Byron Bay FC was what made the FFA Cup special, according to Lions coach Glenn Williams.

“That’s the beauty of the FFA Cup, you don’t know what you’ll get and it's unique because it's a knockout,” he said.

Friday, 26 March, 2021

“So we are looking forward to it and it will definitely be a tough game.”

The Boambee Bombers and Sawtell Scorpions meet in their local derby during Round 3.

The last two meetings have been close encounters, with the Bombers winning 2-1

By David WIGLEY JUNIOR tennis players from the Coffs Coast were the biggest hitters at last month’s Junior Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) tournament held at Sawtell where over 70 of the best junior tennis players from Forster to Woolgoolga competed for ranking points.

Tournament Director and founder of the Baylis Tennis Academy, Eli Baylis was delighted with the tournament and the performance of the local players.

“We had a very rare beautiful and sunny day for our Junior UTR event in Coffs Harbour and Sawtell where great tennis was played by the region’s best juniors.

Coffs cricket grand finals postponed

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour cricketers have had to wait an extra week to play off for the ultimate prize.

The grand finals of the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Associations’ 2020/21 were postponed to this weekend due to the

recent wet weather, after they were scheduled to be decided last weekend.

Weather permitting, the first-grade grand final is set to be an enthralling contest between this season’s minor premiers Diggers Cricket Club Inc. and defending premiers Sawtell at Fitzroy Oval.

The recent wet weather meant Diggers captain Jonathon Paff knew his side would play the grand final a week later, meaning they hadn’t played in nearly a month.

“We pretty much knew fairly early that we wouldn’t get on this weekend,” he said.

“We haven’t played any cricket for at least a month so it’s hard to know how we will do.”

Paff told News Of The Area his side wanted to win the premiership outright without the benefit of wet weather.

“We want to win it, not just get a wash out,” he said.

Barney Miller Charity Surf Classic turns 21

By Aiden BURGESS 21ST birthdays are normally celebrated with gusto.

And this will certainly be the case this weekend as the Barney Miller Charity Surf Classic turns 21.

The annual event will be held over three days starting Friday March 26, with the surfing getting underway from 7am at Sawtell Main Beach.

Sawtell Boardriders member and former World Surf League Junior Tour competitor Will Vignes will be one of many surfers hitting the waves for a cause this weekend.

The Sawtell local will be taking part in his fourth Charity Classic, a surfing event he said was like no other.

“Barney’s is a bit different as it has the

competitive nature but it also has a homely feel,” he said.

“Everyone has a good time around the BBQ and is really social.

“And Barney normally chooses someone who really deserves it.”

The 21-year-old competed in a number of World Surf League Junior Tour events throughout 2018, including Bells Beach, the Gold Coast, and Sydney.

Vignes has spent the past two years living in Indonesia catching what he describes as, “The best sets he’s ever surfed.”

The young surfer told News Of The Area his favourite part of riding the waves.

“It sounds corny, but just

going fast and gliding,” he said.

“And getting barrelled, every surfer would say that.”

Tomorrow sees the second day of surfing getting underway from 7am

still on the ground from this month’s rainfall, combined with last weekend’s expected rainfall which would have made the fields water logged and unplayable.

Harrigan took the considerations of those players travelling to Coffs Harbour into account when making the decision to postpone the State Championships.

“After considering the weather forecast and liaising with Councils Stadium Team and Greenkeepers, Australian Oztag believes the only decision in the best interest of all,

is to postpone the tournament now before anyone begins their travels,” he said.

“It would be reckless to roll the dice and travel to Coffs only to then call it off when the rain falls.

“By making this decision now we hope to minimize the impact and allow teams to make arrangements with accommodation & travel.”

Coffs Harbour City Council Mayor Denise Knight thanked Harrigan for the foresight of his decision.

“Coffs Harbour has been the home of Oztag for many years, and of course while it is disappointing to reschedule, we understand,” she said.

“Over the last year we have become much more adept to change, we are experiencing a huge amount rain of late and there are still flood warnings in place.

“We thank Bill and the Australian Oztag team for their foresight in making a decision to postpone to a more optimal time.

“Thanks also to all our tourism and accommodation providers for their flexibility in rescheduling bookings for the revised dates.

“We look forward to welcoming players officials and their guests again in May.” The 2021 NSW Oztag Senior State Championships will be held over three days on 14 May-16 May.

Oztag State Championships postponed

By Aiden BURGESS ONE of the biggest annual sporting events in Coffs Harbour has had to be postponed due to this month’s wet weather.

Originally scheduled to be played last weekend in Coffs Harbour, the 2021 NSW Oztag Senior State Championships have been postponed until 14 May. The decision was made by tournament director Bill Harrigan to postpone the State Championships due to the large amount of water

Men of League help Group 2 Junior Rugby League

By Aiden BURGESS WITH the latest NRL season kicking off recently, rugby league’s main charity continues to impact the lives of many across the region.

The Men of League Foundation plays a vital role in fundraising efforts across the North Coast.

North Coast Men of League provides assistance with everything from surgery,

rehabilitation, equipment and specialist care to wellbeing visits to homes and hospitals to address social isolation and promote mental health.

They also hold charity days at various local venues, including the Coffs Harbour Race Club, Coffs Harbour Yacht Club, Park Beach Bowling Club, and Sawtell Bowling Club.

Raffles are held each Friday

night with proceeds going towards Group 2 Junior Rugby League.

The North Coast Men of League’s first social day of the year will be held on Sunday, 28 March at Park Beach Bowls Club, which will double as a Remembrance Day for the passing of Joe Gauci; a former player, coach, keen bowler and supporter of the Coffs Harbour region.

North Coast Men of League president Peter Barrett said that the charity organisation played a vital role in helping to support the future of rugby league.

“Men of League need to get behind the juniors to help our game survive and get more boys and girls playing the game as it all starts with juniors,” he said.

“It just needs support as junior league is disappearing and they need any bit of help they can get.”

The Men of League Foundation has grown to be regarded as the charity of rugby league.

Its mission remains to provide a wide range of wellbeing support and referrals in a professional and timely manner to those within the rugby league community who are in genuine need and are unable to overcome that need within their own resources.

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.

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE – Solar, Electric, Gas or Heat Pumps.

FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in your area free of charge.

Tigers Pounce Friday, 26 March 2021
