Red Rock Reserve Walkway receives major upgrade

By David TUNE

RED Rock is a sometimes overlooked or unknown part of the paradise that is the Coffs Coast.

Located at the northern end of the region, the locality has recently benefited from the revamping of the Red Rock Reserve Walkway, delivered in partnership by the State Government, Reflections Holiday Parks, Red Rock Landcare Group and the Red Rock Preservation Association.

A contribution of $32,000 from the NSW Government’s Crown Reserves Improvement

member of the school community had tested positive for COVID-19.

Orara High School followed shortly after, announcing its closure over Facebook early on Tuesday morning.

The news followed an announcement by the Mid North Coast Local Health District of seven new Covid-19 cases in the Coffs Harbour local government area on Monday and another ten new cases on Tuesday.

Some of these cases are believed to be in the Woolgoolga and Corindi Beach areas.

Woolgoolga Public School Principal Paul Clark stated on the school’s Facebook page on Monday evening that the school would be non-operational effective immediately for the on-site attendance of staff and students to allow time for contact tracing and cleaning.

“All staff and students are asked to selfisolate until you receive further advice,” Mr Clark stated.

“The NSW Department of Education will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure the health and safety of all students

and staff is maintained.

“The safety and wellbeing of our staff and students is of paramount importance to us at all times.”

The school stated that it will continue to work closely with NSW Health to ensure that all necessary health advice is adhered to.

“While we recognise this will be disruptive and inconvenient for families, it is important that we follow NSW Health advice and take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of further transmission to support our community,” the school said.

Orara High School called on its school community to be patient as the school awaited further official information and advice on the situation.

Orara High School reopened to staff and students on Wednesday after being advised

by NSW Health that the infected member of its school community was not infectious while on school grounds, and therefore no staff or students were identified as contacts of the confirmed case.

Woolgoolga Public School reopened on Thursday to students and staff who were not close contacts of the positive Covid-19 school community member, and close contacts of

the case have been asked to refrain from returning to school and isolate for fourteen days.

NSW Health has requested anyone who has been unwell or if you develop any symptoms such as a fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell/taste, muscle/joint pains, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting or extreme tiredness to be tested at one of the local COVID-19 testing clinics.

The Woolgoolga Covid-19 Testing Clinic is open from Tuesday to Friday from 9.30am to 1.30pm at the CWA Rooms at 21 Beach Street, Woolgoolga.

For children under 6 years, visit the Coffs Harbour Base Hospital Emergency Department for testing.

The Coffs Harbour Drive-through Covid-19 Testing Clinic is located at Stadium Drive, C.ex Coffs International Stadium and is open from 8am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday and from 8am to 2pm on the weekend.

Children under the age of five years will not be tested at this clinic and should attend their nearest ED or local GP so a full medical assessment can be undertaken.

Red Rock Reserve Walkway receives major upgrade Fund and a further contribution of $9,039 from Reflections has allowed the deteriorating hardwood walkaway to be replaced with safer and longer lasting Enviromesh, which is made in NSW. Other improvements included clearing vegetation and adding safety features to the steps on the walkway.

Reflections Mid North

Coast Operations Manager Allan Thomas said, “The previous hardwood track was at its end of life and the government funding we received has allowed this popular walkway to be restored and used again by the local community and visitors to the park.”

News Of The Area spoke to Reflections Public Relations Manager Kimberly Rigby, who said, “The walkway is very popular

with both locals and visitors, and many hundreds of people have enjoyed it since the revamp took place.

“We worked to minimise disruption and get the job done quickly because the walkway is so popular.”

The path is approximately 90 metres long and provides a leisurely 10 to 15 minute uphill walk to the Red Rock headland with spectacular views along the coastline.

COFFS Harbour man Phil Tripp has been sentenced after pleading guilty to drowning a cat in a garbage bin.

Mr Tripp was charged in July after Police were notified about a social media post relating to the incident.

Mr Tripp has been sentenced to a nine month intensive corrections order and 100 hours community service.

Animal Justice Party MP Emma Hurst has described the sentence as “pathetic”,

and says it is a “wake up call” to review the criminal justice system.

“This man is a danger to the community.

“This shocking ruling fails to recognise the seriousness of his crime.

“Drowning an animal to death is cruel and unforgivable, and it deserves more than a slap on the wrist.

“Mr Tripp caused extreme stress, pain, suffering and anxiety to an animal in what can only be described as a horrific act of violence,” said Emma Hurst.

“The justice system needs an urgent overhaul on how

it deals with cases of animal cruelty.

“Despite a large increase in penalties introduced in NSW this year, the courts are still failing to recognize animal cruelty as the serious crime it is.”

Earlier this year, the Animal Justice Party passed amendments to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979 that impose automatic lifetime animal bans for anyone charged for serious animal cruelty offences.

A disqualification order was placed on Tripp that prevents him from purchasing, caring for or owning a

Mr Tripp’s lawyers have indicated he intends to appeal the sentence.

In a statement issued to News Of The Area in July, Mr Tripp said, “It is with great contrition, shame and guilt that I share this incident with you.

“It revolves around an allegation that I did in fact

“It is alleged that I quickly and humanely euthanized it by a ten second drowning.

“For the past 20 years living here, I have created a refuge of sorts on my two hectares with extensive native plants for the families of animals that inhabit it.

“And each year, more and more cats invade here and it’s heartbreaking to find nests of dead babies and their shredded parents from a previous night’s carnage.”

Final works on Airport Enterprise Park to get underway

By Emma DARBIN

THE tender for the final stage of the Coffs Harbour Airport Enterprise Park subdivision development has been awarded to Mid North Coast Contractors for $8.4m by Coffs Harbour City Council.

At the completion of this stage, Work Portion C, 70 additional lots will have been created in the airport precinct, bringing the total number of fully serviced lots to 90 in the entire development.

Work Portion C consists of 34 lots and associated infrastructure, including earthworks, roads, drainage, water, sewer, power, telecommunications and landscaping.

An open tender was called via Tenderlink for the project on 6 August

2021, with a closing date of 9 September 2021, with tenders received from five contractors including Mid North Coast Contractors Pty Ltd, Burnett Civil Pty Ltd, Bob Chambers Pty Ltd, JNC Group Australia Pty Ltd, and

See Civil Pty Ltd. Council has received grant funding for the project from both the Federal and State Governments, with the requirement that the entire project is to be completed by the end of April 2022.

Commitments regarding the completion of the project have also been made to the new airport lessee.

The aim of the project is to provide much needed commercial and industrial zoned land to attract business to the area and provide local employment.

“The further

development of the Airport Enterprise Park provides local business participation, resulting in permanent and casual employment for Coffs Harbour residents,” Council documents stated.

Being Council owned, the Airport Enterprise Park will become a community asset, delivering funds back into

the region.

The new contractor is to be appointed and works to commence as soon as possible due to the tight delivery program for the project.

Council resolved to accept the tender at a Council meeting on 14 October for the construction of Airport Enterprise Park – Work Portion C by Mid North Coast Contractors Pty Ltd for the price of $8,466,559.67.

Demonstrators blockade Bellingen to protest native forest logging CONCERNED locals, koalas and the ‘Red Rebels’ blocked the main street of Bellingen on the morning of Monday 25 October.

The demonstrators said they wanted to bring attention to the issue of logging in public native forests in the lead up to the COP26 Climate Summit in Glasgow.

John Merkel, spokesperson for the group said, “Thousands of hectares of our nearby public native forests are due to be logged in the next year and we think it’s criminal that forests are being decimated in a climate emergency when we need to be increasing forest cover to draw down carbon.

“Native forests remove carbon dioxide from the air

more effectively than anything else on land; they moderate temperature and keep Bellingen’s drinking water clean and they do this best when they're left alone.”

Mr Merkel said, “I grew up in the area, trained locally and worked in the building industry.

“Back when I started, forest harvesting was about selective logging of quality timber - now it’s about selling large logs cheaply, so I would question the economics of current practices, before we even consider the environmental issues.”

Mr Merkel said that local timber workers are being let down by governments because there is no transition plan for them and their communities.

“Governments like to

pit timber workers against conservationists, but jobs are lost in what could be a sustainable timber industry every time a truck leaves the area with wood that is turned into cardboard boxes or ‘biofuel’.

“People are being sold the idea that biofuel is some sort of green fuel from scraps, but you would need a five-year plantation cycle to feed it, and the reality is that plantations are on a 30-year cycle,” he said.

“Biofuel companies will inevitably need other sources, which means native forests.”

Mr Merkel said community opposition to public native forest logging in the Bellingen shire has grown significantly in recent years, as tensions between government and citizens concerned about

deforestation and climate change have intensified.

He said that Bellingen township was only just spared from the Black Summer bushfires and this brought the reality of climate change into the heart of the community.

Mr Merkel said, “The proven answers are already here for new energy sources, and biofuel isn’t one of them.

“Forest blockades like the ones in Kalang and Newry State Forest have been established to stave off further

Coffs COVID Cases Growing

By Sandra MOON

OUR run of luck is over as COVID-19 has reached the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area with ten local cases recorded at time of publication.

The Mid North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD) continues to urge the community to get vaccinated against COVID-19, with 33 cases reported on the Mid North Coast to 8pm on October 25.

22 are from the Kempsey Local Government Area (LGA), ten are from the Coffs Harbour LGA and one is from Port Macquarie-Hastings LGA. Nineteen of the cases are linked to a known case or cluster and the source of the infection of fourteen cases is under investigation.

As we have been in a COVID safe bubble until this point, it is safe to say some of our COVID safe behaviours have relaxed.

But now is more important than ever to remain vigilant and to up the ante in the face of COVID fatigue.

Continue to ensure you wear a mask, wash hands, use antibacterial hand sanitiser and social distance.

The North Coast Public Health Unit is currently investigating the latest cases and contact tracing is underway, including any potential exposure venues of public concern.

Mayoral candidate refutes social media allegation

By Emma DARBIN

incorrectly informed.

"Social media is a powerful tool and we sometimes forget that it can be easy to inadvertently hurt someone,” Cr Townley said.

“I had heard from a couple of people that Rob Trezise (moderator of the Coffs Harbour City Council Elections 2021 Forum Facebook page) was being paid by Mr Pryce for his work as a moderator of a page, which would not be unusual in a campaign.

“When I expressed this, both Mr Trezise and Mr Pryce let me know that this was not the case, Mr Trezise is acting freely as a moderator of a facebook page and is not on Mr Pryce's payroll.”

Cr Townley said as soon as she was informed of this she removed the comment and apologised to Mr Pryce.

“I guess the lesson here is to always seek clarification from the person involved first and not believe everything we hear,” Cr Townley stated.

“It's best to simply express our own opinions and not conjecture publicly about other people.

“It was not necessary for me to make any comment about Mr Pryce or any other candidate and I am sure I won't in future.”

In regards to his proliferation on the Coffs Harbour City Council Elections 2021 Forum Facebook page, Roger stated that “any candidate that stands (for Council) is automatically authorised to make posts on that page”.

COFFS Harbour Mayoral candidate Roger Pryce has strongly refuted an allegation made against him by Cr Sally Townley that he pays the Coffs Harbour City Council Elections 2021 Forum Facebook page to publish his social media comments.

Cr Townley stated “it’s Rodger’s paid advertising channel not mine” in a social media comment on the Facebook page last week, in response to a post on the page about Cr Townley not disclosing her ownership of a small parcel of land in the Coffs Harbour local government area.

Mr Pryce contacted News Of The Area following Cr Townley’s public allegation to state that the accusation was false and that he believed the comment had been made deliberately by Cr Townley.

“She knew what it was that she was doing and I think that’s poor, I really do,” Mr Pryce stated.

“It’s designed to actually cast aspersions against my reputation, and it’s probably been successful in doing that.

“She’s been a councillor for nine years or something, she is aware of the Code of Conduct of Council, so I cannot actually accept that she didn’t know what she was doing.”

Mr Pryce said Cr Townley was very quick to apologise for the social media comment, once contacted about it.

“My response to that was ‘unfortunately Sally no matter what you do to redress the comments you made, you throw enough mud, some will stick’,” Mr Pryce said.

“I've only been involved in this for a matter of months, but there’s a constant flow of people making accusations and stating events that they believe happened and I think we’re duty bound to make sure you do your research first before you come out and say anything.”

When contacted by News Of The Area about the comment, q Coffs Harbour Mayoral candidate Roger Pryce Cr Townley is angered by a false allegation made against him stated that

“I’ve been very active for the past four or five months because I am passionate about what I see that I can contribute to assert change, so I’ve been out there a lot,” Mr Pryce said.

“Everybody has the equal opportunity that I have had to put their policies, put their stance out there, tell people, I’ve been doing it for months.”

‘Moose for Mayor’ team announced for election

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour Deputy Mayor Cr Paul Amos has announced he will be running for Mayor at the upcoming Local Government Election and has recently revealed who will be running with him on his ticket.

Cr Amos has announced that Number 2 on his group ticket to join Council for the upcoming 3-year term will be passionate Coffs Harbour resident Scott Wolgamot, Number 3 on his ticket is long-term Coffs Harbour local Julie Sechi, and Number 4 on his ticket is local community stalwart Helen Oliver.

Paul will continue his stance as an independent candidate in the six weeks left leading up to the election and he firmly believes that there remains no place for party politics in the local regional government election.

“It is important people know who and what they are voting for,” Cr Amos stated.

“I don’t think people like political parties in local

politics.

“They are voting for people they trust to represent their views on local issues rather than looking to get into State or Federal politics.”

Cr Amos said his team come from different backgrounds, but possess common goals including seeking transparency in Council meetings, integrity in how the community is engaged and energy in preserving and promoting the parts of our Coffs area that make it special.

“Our job in the coming three years will be to build trust and confidence in the local government,” Cr Amos said.

He was one of only two Councillors in NSW voted in ‘below the line’ on his own independent ticket in the last elections and will this time give voters an ‘above the line’ option with Julie, Scott and Helen involved.

Paul has sought to include team members with a known track record of community involvement and volunteering.

When asked why Scott would be joining

q Joining Cr Paul Amos’ group ticket at the upcoming Local Government Election is Coffs local Julie Sechi.

the Mayoral ticket, Paul highlighted some of Scott’s previous roles.

“Coffs Harbour deserves a Councillor of Scott’s calibre,” Cr Amos said.

“He has been a community member of Council’s Agriculture Advisory Committee and either President or Treasurer of soccer, volleyball and swimming clubs and P & C’s, while also working locally in engineering and agriculture.”

Cr Amos said Scott has had international stints working in the USA, New Zealand and China but ultimately chose to raise his family in the Coffs Harbour region.

“He will bring to the table a strong knowledge of agriculture and the ‘bigger picture’ of how Coffs can protect its unique natural assets while continued economic and job opportunities emerge here,” Cr Amos said.

Julie Sechi is a long-term local who has lived and worked in Coffs Harbour for over 30 years.

“Julie is exactly what the

Coffs Council needs in terms of community engagement and representation,” Cr Amos said.

“Her background has been so diverse through her experience in teaching, hairdressing, real estate, business advertising and ownership.”

Cr Amos said the next Council needs to put time and energy into listening and involving the community.

“Those who have met Julie know how strong she is on these aspects,” he said.

“She is extremely connected to the challenges that families and businesses face, which will be important for our area surviving and thriving through the Covid-19 downturn and the bypass in the years to come.”

Rounding out the independent team ticket is Helen Oliver, who many people would know from her work with Coffs Harbour TAFE and her community involvement with the Coffs Harbour Primary School P and C Committee, Girl Guides, the Life Education Triathlon, Coffs Harbour

Running Festival, cricket and soccer clubs.

Helen’s most recent work has been with Community Transport and the Soup Kitchen.

Paul points to the ‘runs on the board’ when highlighting the value of a vote for ‘Team Moose' this year.

“These are people who are absolutely driven to give back to the community and to do what they can to build a positive future for Coffs Harbour,” he said.

“The proof is in their experience and how they are already contributing.

“I think choosing people like this who already generously volunteer their time for good causes gives people confidence that we’re asking them to vote for us for the right reasons.”

Paul is valuing the chance to have some team members on the ‘Moose caboose’ ballot this time around.

“I would never run for Mayor without doing my time as a Councillor first and making sure I can do my best in this role, but to run for Mayor, you also need support on the ballot ticket,” he said.

“Those who have listened to meetings these last 5 years will know how committed and passionate I am, and I’ve found three people who have that exact

same fire in their belly.

“I’ve already been so encouraged by the energy of not only Julie, Scott and Helen, but also other people coming up (and even yelling out the window) in support of the ‘Moose for Mayor’ team.”

Cr Amos highlighted his track history as a councillor at Council, achieving substantial wins in getting Jetty Foreshores land back from the State Government for the Coffs Harbour community and getting tunnels instead of cuttings for the Coffs Harbour Bypass to reduce the impact on residents and the environment.

He sees some key challenges ahead for the incoming Council, including the urgent issues of a tip and waste solution to remove the smell from the entrance to the town, and land availability for families to be able to live a healthy life here.

“I’ve put forward three people who I know will make sure people of Coffs have some trust and confidence in how the local Council meets the challenges arising in the next 3 years,” he said.

The Coffs Harbour Local Government Election will be held on Saturday December 4 and pre-polling will commence on 22 November 2021.

TOORMINA, Sawtell, Boambee East and parts of Coffs Harbour were hammered by intense hail, wind and rain last Wednesday, 20 October.

The Bureau of Meteorology had issued a severe storm warning, but no-one expected the ferocity of the storm that damaged buildings, vehicles and gardens.

Toormina Gardens shopping centre was evacuated because of a roof collapse and most of it remains closed.

Hailstones as big as golf balls extensively damaged buildings of all kinds, including schools, nursing homes and numerous private homes.

A Toormina resident, Maegen Jenkins, told News Of The Area that local young people were shovelling ice off the street until well into the night so that residents could drive home and that some plumbers stopped to pull out cars that were bogged in ice in Graff Ave. Ms Jenkins said, “Two neighbours have their roofs caved in, others have water coming in, I’ve got smashed windows and water leaking in several rooms and a friend had her car written off.

“A 75-year-old neighbour has slipped over three times in water in her house and isn’t good,” she continued.

“We’re all in social housing and the necessary ongoing maintenance hasn’t been done.”

Ms Jenkins said that she was lucky to live in a great neighbourhood where everyone helps out.

People across the affected areas rallied to check on neighbours and shovel ice from roads.

The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) set up a Mobile Command Centre at Toormina Sports Fields and have received more than 1000 requests for assistance to date, the great

majority because of roof and window damage, leading to flooding in houses.

By Thursday afternoon, there was still ice on the ground in many places and streets throughout the area were covered in what was basically storm-shredded leaf mulch.

Then on Saturday, October 23, large hail struck parts of Coffs Harbour, including Korora, causing more devastation.

Unfortunate residents in all affected areas placed ruined furniture and other damaged items on their nature strips and roads were strewn with shredded plant matter.

The Coffs Harbour City Council offered a free pickup for storm damaged household items (carpet, furniture etc) and green waste that would not go in green bins, as well as waiving fees for drop off at the England’s Road facility.

In Federal Parliament, the Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan said that the SES had dispatched 23 units from around the state to assist with the clean-up.

He said he had spoken with Federal and State colleagues about offering Federal assistance if required and that his office could be contacted if necessary.

Mr Conaghan later released details of assistance available through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

While the SES and local tradespeople have been amazing at providing emergency assistance, recovery, long term, might not be easy.

Although many people have been able to organise emergency repairs, most building companies and tradespeople in the area have been already fully booked with work into the New Year, making major storm repairs difficult and setting back timelines for other work.

Pat Conaghan Clarifies Climate Stance

By Andrew VIVIAN

SOME sections of the Coffs Coast community have been critical of the response to climate change by Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan.

In a previous article in News Of The Area, the convenor for Voices4Cowper, Gillian Anderson, suggested that Cowper voters wanted a stronger response, to which Mr Conaghan replied that he is concerned about effects of climate change action on Cowper residents.

The Coffs Coast Climate Action Group was happy to receive a reply from Mr Conaghan to a letter they had previously sent him, but also felt that his reply was not strong enough.

Spokesperson for the group, Liisa Rusanen, said, "Cowper deserves a representative with the vision and courage to speak up clearly for action on the climate crisis, for a modern, zero emissions economy, based on clean, sustainable jobs because that’s where the rest of the world is heading.

"But, Pat Conaghan has voted with the dinosaurs in

the National Party every time.

“He’s voted against a fast and fair transition to renewable energy, backing more coal and gas.

“With our region already facing devastating climate impacts – like more intense fires, floods and supercell storms – we can’t keep adding fuel to the fire for another three decades.

“Other countries are focused now on emissions cuts by 2030, but the National Party are holding us back they won’t even reveal the details of their secret deal.”

In light of negotiations between the Prime Minister Scott Morrison, and the Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce about Australia’s climate change targets, Mr Conaghan has reiterated his position.

He said that whether the public should be told of the exact agreement that was formed within the National Party Room is a decision for Barnaby Joyce.

Mr Conaghan said, “On that topic, I should note that, when you are in the process of protracted negotiations, as the National Party have

been in the past couple of weeks and will continue to be, you don’t generally want to show your hand, especially any agreement that hasn’t yet been carved in stone.

“I believe the Deputy Prime Minister’s interests are aligned entirely with the regions’ and in specifically making sure that we secure appropriate concessions for stronger safeguards for regional communities and regional jobs.

“That is also my number one priority, always has been, to ensure that we protect regional and rural Australian jobs and I’ve made no secret of this,” he said.

Mr Conaghan said he felt that this priority has been deliberately misconstrued by certain groups, based on the fact that he hasn’t emphatically come out in support of the current Net Zero proposition.

He said that wanting more detail on the exact plan to get to Net Zero does not mean that he doesn’t support the need to address the issue, that he doesn’t believe in climate change or that he is a dinosaur now sticking his

“You can sing, dance, hug your mates, and because the event is outdoors you don't have to wear a mask!

“River Sounds will be a massive celebration of getting back to some kind of normality after two years of shite (sic) times for all,” he said.

To celebrate the festival there is a cracker of a competition on.

The Ultimate Festival Giveaway is not only for the winner but for three friends as well.

The prize includes four weekend passes to River Sounds, accommodation at

First Lap swim program extended to kindy kids

q First Lap swim program includes kindy kids from December 2021.

KINDERGARTEN kids are now included in the NSW Government’s new learn to swim voucher program as it expands from preschoolaged children to include kindergarten kids who missed out on lessons due to COVID restrictions.

Under the First Lap program, eligible children can access a $100 voucher for swimming lessons with an approved provider, with businesses able to register for it from next month (November).

Coffs Harbour Council’s Team Leader for Pools, Richard Leslie, said the pools team welcome the extension of the First Lap program to those older children at kindy age who may have missed lessons with Covid restrictions.

“Any incentive to get more young children in the water learning the important life skill of swimming is great news!

“This program will really help overcome

any unaffordability issues around enrolment and compliment the school aged active kids vouchers already on offer.”

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said the program, which starts on December 1, would be extended to cover children in kindergarten this year, or who are starting kindergarten in 2022.

“Because of COVID restrictions, our kindy kids have missed a crucial window of being able to develop the skills they need to stay safe in the water,” Mr Perrottet said.

“It’s really important they don’t miss out, so we’re making sure they can also access the First Lap voucher program now that our pools are back open for lessons.”

Minister for Sport Natalie Ward said, “Summer in Australia is all about swimming, at your local pool, beach or river.”

"The $100 will help towards giving our kids these crucial skills," she said.

Minister for Digital and Customer Service Victor Dominello said the program was one of more than 70 NSW Government savings helping to ease cost-of-living pressures for households, including the Active Kids and Creative Kids programs.

Active Kids vouchers can be used by school-enrolled children, including those in kindergarten, for sport and recreation activities such as swimming lessons.

Families can apply for the First Lap vouchers from 1 December, through Service NSW.

Blue Knot works to build TraumaInformed Community

By Andrea FERRARI

VOICEUP Australia, the Coffs Harbour founded volunteer group based on support between adult survivors of child abuse and their support people, has been sharing the work of Blue Knot Foundation in this week of Blue Knot Day (28 Oct).

The Blue Knot Foundation is a specialist service that focuses on Complex Child Trauma (CCT).

The theme of the day is Build a Trauma-Informed

Community, which speaks to a key value of VoiceUp – to speak up and out and educate the community on what CCT is and where to get help.

Chris Marks, VoiceUp founder, social worker and Coffs Harbour resident, told News Of The Area, “In the early years of VoiceUp Cathy Kezelman, the founder of Blue Knot Foundation supported us in a panel presenting at ANZ Mental Health Forum in Victoria about breaking the silence

around child sexual abuse and the trauma created through silence and shame on survivors throughout their lives.

“The ongoing lifetime impact of child sexual abuse creates fragmentation in the self of survivors and silence in the community, government and legal system.

“There is ongoing injustice as survivors voice up, but alleged offenders are protected by the legal system to stay silent when

accused, and in court do not have to be cross examined while the victim is ruthlessly challenged in the system.

“Children who disclose to police are asked 'do you know what a lie is?' yet an alleged offender can stay silent.

“Blue Knot Day validates a trauma-informed response by community and all of government to address the silence and shame.

“No more secrets, no more remaining silent - let’s call out child sexual abuse and demand that alleged offenders are made to answer the accusations.”

Survivor Day Workshops have been organised by VoiceUp based on the Blue

Knot model.

Blue Knot’s Festival of Healing shared webinars reflecting the work the foundation does every day in creating community and disseminating traumainformed understanding.

The online events saw a number of people, including practitioners, speaking personally about their own healing journey, sharing what has helped them, as well as some of the barriers they faced when services were not as traumainformed as they could be.

The Blue Knot website provides numerous resources on Understanding Trauma and Abuse, Coping Strategies, Healing, Facts

NSW, Paul Toole, said, “As a former teacher, I recognise the importance of great mentors to help set up our aspiring school leaders for the future.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for highperforming early career and graduate teachers to fast track their careers, while experiencing the joys of living in the bush.”

The teachers will also receive support from a

school-based mentor in each placement providing them with advice and feedback, as well as a program mentor who will guide them through every step of the ten-year FASTstream journey.

This includes providing advice on professional development programs and opportunities, leadership coaching and tailored support.

Commonwealth Banks drops Dollarmite schools program

q Commonwealth Bank announced on its website that its school banking program was not returning in 2022.

By Andrea FERRARI

CONSUMER group CHOICE welcomes the announcement by the Commonwealth Bank that it will no longer run the Dollarmites program in schools.

The Commonwealth Bank announcement occurred after the New South Wales Government banned bank-run marketing schemes in classrooms, joining Queensland, Victoria and the ACT in introducing rules to require financial literacy programs to be independent and effective.

“The reality is that Dollarmites was a very effective marketing program, signing up primary school aged-children to a life-long relationship with the Commonwealth Bank.

“When the corporate regulator, ASIC, reviewed programs like Dollarmites in 2020, it found no evidence of any positive impact on financial literacy.

“Instead, it found they used sophisticated marketing techniques to target vulnerable consumers,” says CHOICE CEO Alan Kirkland.

“CHOICE research found that the Dollarmites program was sticky.

“In 2017 we uncovered that 46% of people got their first account with Commonwealth Bank and a third of people still had this account as an adult.

“One of the most important lessons that children need to learn about banking is to shop around for the best deal. “Letting the Commonwealth Bank sign up children as customers at a very young age is the very q Recipient of a CHOICE Shonky Award 2018, CommBank’s Dollarmite scheme comes to a close.

opposite of that.

“We’re glad to see the NSW Government join other states and territories in banning Dollarmites and replacing it with a governmentrun financial literacy program focused on real world budgeting examples.

“With the end of Dollarmites, we can feel confident that students will get lessons in financial literacy instead of bank loyalty.”

CHOICE awarded the Commonwealth Bank’s Dollarmites a Shonky award in 2018 and a damning 2020 ASIC review of school banking programs found no evidence that bank run programs do anything to help savings behaviour in kids.

NSW Harmony Nominations

By Sandra MOON DO you know someone incredible who could be the next NSW Multicultural Harmony champion?

Nominate them today.

The recognition rewards outstanding work promoting social cohesion and unity during challenging times.

The winner will be announced during this year’s peak multicultural awards program for NSW, the 2022 Premier’s Multicultural Community Medals and the Multicultural Honour Roll.

This year’s awards program pays special tribute to Italian-born Australian fashion designer Carla Zampatti through the Carla Zampatti Arts and Culture Medal.

Minister for Multiculturalism Natalie Ward said, “This terrific awards program is our chance to acknowledge the everyday multicultural heroes in NSW who we rely on day in, day out, to support our communities.

“2021 has been another incredibly challenging year and our community and religious leaders have played a crucial role in delivering vital health information to help keep us safe.

“Countless individuals and organisations have stepped up across all backgrounds to help vulnerable people experiencing extreme hardship and to keep us connected.”

The Premier’s Multicultural Community Medal winners and Premier’s Multicultural Honour Roll inductees will be announced and presented in March 2022 at the

Premier’s Harmony Dinner.

Mrs Ward said medal categories honour the achievements of community members working in diverse fields including youth, business, arts and culture as well as regional communities.

Past winners have included a Muslim community leader who dedicated her life to supporting Muslim women and a Syrian Australian priest who leads programs and activities supporting the vulnerable and recently-arrived refugees.

“I urge everyone in our community to nominate their unsung heroes today,” Mrs Ward said.

New Reports Repeat Climate Warnings

CLIMATE and weather have been in the forefront of the minds of Coffs Coast residents after the recent storms.

It is of concern to many that reports keep being released warning of the effects of climate change and global warming.

The key report findings are that there remains a major shortfall between what’s being promised and the pace of action required and that emissions in the sectors that matter most, such as electricity and transport, have increased in Australia.

The report says that climate change is now a strategic priority for the world’s major powers including the UK, EU and China, as they race to gain advantage in the global energy transition and that a commitment and plan for rapidly cutting Australia’s emissions this decade will unlock investment and create new jobs in renewable energy and clean industries,

The Program also seeks to improve community amenity and facilities, preserve and protect the natural environment and cultural heritage and support the ongoing use of the estuary as an educational resource and for research.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh welcomed the program he said would benefit the community for years to come.

He said, “We’re delighted the council has developed this program, with NSW Government support, to provide coordinated management of the Bonville and Pine Creeks estuaries for ecosystem health and the sustainable use of the natural environment by the community.”

THE Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock has congratulated Coffs Harbour City Council for achieving certification of its Coastal Management Program (CMP) for estuaries on the southern side of Sawtell.

The certification enables the Council to apply for further implementation funding from the NSW Government’s Coastal and Estuary Grants Program to address some of the issues identified by the plan.

The Bonville and Pine Creek CMP was prepared by Coffs Harbour City Council with cofunding of $37,782 from the NSW Government.

The estuary drains a catchment area of 115 km2 and discharges into the ocean south of Sawtell Headland.

Fifty percent of the catchment is developed, and most of the lower reaches of the catchment are in Bongil Bongil National Park.

The plan identifies threats and risks to the estuary and management objectives to deal with them.

A major factor identified over the next 30 years is sea level rise, which will cause inundation of coastal wetlands, rainforests and vegetation, leading to decline of biodiversity.

Other ‘high risk’ factors include damage to foreshore land, public infrastructure and recreational facilities, resulting in damage to or loss of facilities and degradation or loss of heritage sites and potential decline of fish population, possibly from overfishing.

Vegetation clearing for agricultural land use and because of unrestricted cattle access that cause bank erosion, loss of vegetation, sedimentation of creeks and decline of water quality is also of major concern, as well as increases in stormwater run-off and decline of stormwater quality because of more frequent and intense rainfall and land use intensification, causing erosion and sedimentation and decline in water quality.

Consequently, the CMP is focussing on several objectives for the Bonville and Pine Creek Estuary for the next ten years.

These include improving and maintaining

particularly in regional areas.

The authors write that Australia has the potential to grow new export industries that far exceed the value of our current fossil fuel exports because it has the renewable energy resources and mineral reserves needed to drive the global energy transition.

As well, data from an independent research and reporting organisation, Climate Central, show that Coffs Harbour Airport and Raleigh and Mylestom, amongst other areas, will be inundated by rising sea levels when temperatures rise by the minimum predicted 1.5°C and much larger areas of the Coffs Coast will be underwater if a 3°C rise occurs.

Another organisation, the Climate Accountability Institute, in its ‘Carbon Majors Report’, found that 71% of human carbon dioxide emissions came from just 100 global companies, mainly fossil fuel producers.

These reports, along with many others have implications in the foreseeable future for Coffs Coast residents.

Council and Service NSW renew partnership COFFS Harbour City councillors have unanimously agreed to renew Council’s partnership with Service NSW to deliver a business support program within the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area (LGA).

The business support program (previously known as the Easy to Do Business Program) commenced in 2018 by the Department of Premier and Cabinet, Service NSW and the Office of the NSW Small Business Commissioner to encourage investment in small business.

The program aims to streamline the processes of opening and running a business.

The initiative focuses on coordinating and navigating through the various government approvals required by new business owners.

Service NSW provides a digital platform and upfront information regarding what is required by a potential new business owner from all of the approval authorities, including Coffs Council.

A business concierge service, via a single phone number, is also provided to support

‘Mamma Mia’ the musical comes to town

By David TUNE

COFFS Harbour Musical Comedy Company (CHMCC) is about to bring its longawaited production of ‘Mamma Mia’ to the stage at the Jetty Memorial Theatre from Friday November 5 to Sunday 28.

Originally planned for the end of 2020, pandemic restrictions forced the company to postpone the show, and like many other groups has had to work around lockdowns and other restrictions over the last six months of rehearsals.

News Of The Area (NOTA) was given exclusive access to a recent rehearsal, which was the first run-through of the show with the five piece band and can report that this is a high energy, engaging, humorous and fun production.

The show is based on the movie of the same name and follows young bride-to-be Sophie’s quest to discover the identity of her father, one of three men from her mother’s past whom she invites to her wedding on the Greek island paradise where she and her mother call home.

The magical songs of ABBA weave through

the story and the Musical Director, local musician Troy Cheers, has brought the extra multipart harmonies that the large ensemble provide to the fore.

Songs include Voulez Vous, S.O.S, Take a Chance on Me, Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia and many more.

President of CHMCC, Peter Hodges, told News Of The Area, “We are so pleased to be able to present this show, it has been extremely challenging to put it all together in the uncertain times in which we live, but we are delighted to have the opportunity to bring such a great community theatre production to Coffs Coast audiences.”

Peter also advised NOTA that tickets are selling fast, with five shows sold out as of Monday October 25, leaving fifteen performances with seats left for booking.

For more information and ticket sales go to https:// w w w. j e t t y t h e a t r e . c o m / mamma-mia/ or call the Jetty Memorial Theatre on 02 6648 4930 Tuesday through to Friday 12 noon to 4pm.

Current State health orders require all patrons to show proof of double vaccination at the theatre door prior to entry.

Connect and Create, arty fun in Coffs Harbour

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour Neighbourhood Centre is running a series of fun, online art and craft workshops for anyone and

LOCAL COUNCIL

everyone.

Called Connect and Create, the workshops were inspired by the understanding of how art and craft can bring joy to the creator as well as those who the creator shares their efforts with.

“It can be more about the fun of trying something different and sometimes expressing ourselves with all of our quirks and celebrating our differences - those things that make us who we are,” Di Woods, Manager, Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre told News Of The Area.

“The project is based on the values of our neighbourhood centre - building on local strengths with local people sharing their skills with others to simply connect and have fun.”

COVID has presented challenges and for many has impacted mental health - the short and easy art project aims to help rebuild resilience and community connections.

“We hope people might discover a skill or passion that may have been hidden.

Dan Mitsuharu, who will be facilitating the workshop making origami cranes said, “In Japan, origami is traditional - it is something I have just always done to bring a smile to other people.

“If I’m waiting at the bus stop or restaurant and there’s a newspaper or napkin there, I just fold origami and give it or leave it for someone.”

“All of the mini-art projects have been designed so people can do them from home, but

all have a collaborative element,” said Di. When mini-projects are completed, they can be dropped off or sent to the Neighbourhood Centre, where the team will combine them into displays or murals to spread and share the joy with the community.

Workshops have a different theme each week and will be held afternoons 3:30-5:00pm, for four weeks commencing Tuesday 2 November.

The workshops are free to join and everyone who registers will be sent a Connect and Create Art Pack free-of-charge with all the supplies and everything needed for the activities.

To register book online at https://www. trybooking.com/BUVBY, places may be limited.

For further information, call Di on 0408 555157.

This project has been supported by the NSW Government.

North Coast on the vaccination home stretch

By Sandra MOON NORTH Coast COVID-19 vaccination figures indicate more than 90% of people aged 15 years and over in our region will be fully vaccinated by midNovember.

As travel restrictions ease across NSW from 1 November the region is now better prepared and protected to deal with the expected influx of visitors.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Officer Julie Sturgess said the region had made great progress in recent weeks.

“Our first dose coverage is tracking above the national average and is on par with the NSW rate,” Ms Sturgess said.

“There is every reason to believe that those who have had their first jab will also have their second.

“This is a remarkable achievement, but we can’t afford to be complacent.

“There is still more work to be done.

“To truly become a community with immunity we need to ensure that as

Friday, 29 October 2021

many people as possible get vaccinated and I would urge anyone still unvaccinated to come forward and book an appointment through the Vaccine Clinic Finder.”

Healthy North Coast’s latest figures show that first doses across the region are currently at 92% and second doses – meaning fully vaccinated – are at 74%.

“Second dose coverage is still a bit behind the NSW rate, however this is to be expected as the North Coast is playing catch up due to earlier supply constraints,” Ms Sturgess said.

“The good news is that second dose coverage in the LGAs of Byron, Lismore, Clarence Valley, Coffs Harbour and Nambucca has increased by 8% since last week.

Bellingen, Ballina, Kempsey and Richmond Valley increased by 7%.

Tweed, Kyogle and Port Macquarie-Hastings rose by 6%.

“I am pleased to say our communities continue to show strong support for vaccination and are following through with their

q second dose appointments.”

Ms Sturgess said she wanted to remind parents that COVID vaccines are available for children aged 12-14 years.

National data shows 69% of children in this age group are vaccinated with their first dose and 34% are vaccinated with two doses.

Regional data is currently not available for this age group.

“With the imminent return of tourism to our

region, it is more important than ever for all members of our community to have the opportunity to be vaccinated, as we know the virus will continue to circulate,” Ms Sturgess said.

“Ahead of this influx of visitors, we are also working with GPs and clinics to help them boost their operational planning and manage the risks.

“I would also urge people to remain vigilant about their personal hygiene

and to follow standard safe practices to protect themselves and others as our borders open to interstate and international travellers.”

How to protect yourself and others • Get a COVID-19 vaccination.

• Always check in and out, wherever you can.

• Wear a face mask when required.

• Get tested if you have the mildest of symptoms –

even if you have been double vaccinated.

• Self-isolate until you get a negative test result.

• Practise good hygiene. Wash your hands often and well.

• Gather outdoors or in large well-ventilated indoor spaces.

• Physically distance where you can.

It’s duckling time - watch out on the roads

By Andrea FERRARI

DUCKLING season is in full swing, bringing with it the need for drivers to watch out for waddling families.

The Coffs LGA is speckled with lines of ducklings, bookended by mum and dad, walking along main roads and more alarmingly, across roads where drivers are either keeping their own course and running over them, swerving or, the best option, driving with awareness for the circumstances and slowing down safely.

WIRES Bird Coordinator for the area, volunteer Alice

Baker told News Of The Area, “As humans we imagine because the parents are with the ducklings that they know the dangers of the road, but they don’t.

“The parents nest near watered areas and then travel between creeks and ponds nearby, but this could mean they choose a route that takes them across a main road like Hogbin Drive.

“They are looking for nice soft grass to feed their young which is why we’re seeing so many duck families around Coffs Creek, near the Uni and opposite Park Beach Plaza… there’s water along the sides

of the roads and soft food.

“Watch out for them on the Highway near the Clog Barn area, and on Harbour Drive they come over from the golf course heading to the Botanic Gardens.

“Ducklings cannot fly until they’re about two months old, so they have to walk everywhere.”

If you see ducklings alone, Alice said, “Look around for the parents.

“You can pick up the duckling and take it to the parent, but if no parents can be found or it’s badly injured wrap it up warm and phone WIRES.

“Keeping the duckling warm is the biggest help you can give the ducklings, otherwise they will die.

“Put them in a box with a warm, not boiling, hot water bottle and pop a towel over the top of the hot water bottle and box and keep the ducklings quiet and in the dark until you can get to WIRES or take it to the local vet.”

Ducklings are vulnerable, with no road sense, and need to be protected from our own domestic animals.

Better to keep the cats inside, if possible.

“We are not interested in just hearing about the issue, we are calling for solutions to the problem and as such are working closely with State and Federal Members for Cowper, housing NFP providers and Coffs Harbour City Council,” said Lorraine.

The group will be celebrating its first year of operation with two events, one during the day at 9.30am on Wednesday 10 November, where members and guests can read out their short

story, up to 300 words, on what CH OWN has meant to them, or choose another topic to read out.

New Dairy Industry Action Plan

By Marian SAMPSON THE Coffs Coast and its surrounding regions are home to a range of agriculture, including dairy farms.

For farmers, being involved in the dairy business means that the farm works every day of the year and it is important that farmers and the industry take advantage of growth opportunities.

The NSW Government has released the NSW Dairy Industry Action Plan, which sets the foundations for the future growth of the industry.

While many of us think of dairy as fresh milk for a Milo or a Latte there is also a burgeoning industry in supplying powdered milk for formula across the globe.

The Action Plan has been developed by the NSW Fresh Milk and Dairy Advocate Ian Zandstra, who was appointed in September 2019 and has been supported by industry representatives.

Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall said the plan would now be handed to industry to lead the implementation with the support of NSW

Department of Primary Industries (DPI).

“Ian has done an outstanding job as the Fresh Milk & Dairy Advocate, delivering a clear path forward that has received broad industry support.

“This plan will ensure the state’s dairy industry remains resilient and profitable for many years to come,” Mr Marshall said.

“The plan makes 28 recommendations, including the need to establish a Dairy Industry Action Plan Implementation Panel, to execute the Action Plan and report on its progress.”

Mr Zandstra said he was pleased to see the final report released after extensive consultation with industry and government.

“The NSW dairy industry is naturally innovative and resilient, so it was encouraging to deliver a report that has a clear, practical way forward that will support the growth of the sector,” Mr Zandstra said.

“There is strong consensus within industry on what changes are needed to ensure we remain competitive so I am excited we are now transitioning to the implementation stage.”

Mr Marshall said the implementation panel would be made up of industry representatives tasked with ensuring all 28

recommendations of the action plan are enacted.

“Today marks an important milestone as we move from planning to implementation.”

Five-year plan for Jetty Memorial Theatre adopted

By Emma DARBIN

A FIVE-year strategic plan for the Jetty Memorial Theatre (JMT) has been adopted by Coffs Harbour City Council, following public consultation.

The updated Jetty Memorial Theatre Strategic Plan 2022-2026 has been developed to outline the strategic direction and guide ongoing operations for the theatre over the next five years.

It is aimed to meet community and audience expectations, guide the theatre’s business plan and provide a blueprint for continued sustainability.

The Draft Jetty Memorial

Theatre Strategic Plan 20222026 was placed on public exhibition in June, with four submissions received by Council.

Council documents state that the Jetty Memorial Theatre Strategic Plan 2022-2026 recognises the significant social and cultural value the theatre holds for the local community and provides clear direction on management and development priorities over the next five years aimed at maximising community and the performing arts industry outcomes.

“The Jetty Memorial Theatre is a key cultural facility of Coffs Harbour City

Council, delivering three core services; a central venue for the delivery of performing arts in the region, delivery of local community and commercial touring performances, and provision of an annual season program,” the report stated.

The development of the plan included consultation undertaken with staff, volunteers, Jetty Memorial Theatre Management Committee representatives, key stakeholders and the wider community via online surveys.

Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight stated at a Council meeting on 14 October that the theatre

Volunteering helps in more ways than one

By Andrea FERRARI

KEEN community supporter Darrell Groth, who lives in the Masonic Village retirement accommodation near Baringa Private Hospital in Coffs Harbour, was out rustling up bacon and eggs rolls with a team of fellow volunteers in a fundraising effort by the Coffs Harbour Lions Club, Coffs RSL Sub-branch and Legacy.

“Our Saturday morning (October 23) fund-raising breakfast on the Marina’s boardwalk was a great success,” Darrell told News Of The Area.

Monies raised go towards SV Mystic Sailing for Veterans, a charitable program headed up by former sub mariner in the Australian Navy, Tex O’Grady, and supported by Coffs Harbour Lions Club, Coffs RSL Sub-branch and Legacy.

“It’s the brainchild of Tex O'Grady who captains the 50foot SV Mystic for the Sailing Therapy program launched in Coffs Harbour in June (2021).

would need up to $4.2m spent on it to “get the theatre up to speed”.

“It is an amazing theatre and I have watched JMT move down the list further and further and further,” Cr Knight stated at the meeting.

Darrell’s reason for volunteering is to keep depression from sneaking in; and because it makes him feel “so happy”.

Having played a role in the community for many years, it was when his relationship broke down almost two years ago that he began to get dark thoughts and was hospitalised for a while.

“I told myself I had to get busy and that was when I

“I’ve been named their first Auxiliary Member.

“I know that I get depressed if I’m not active, so I do something every day.

“Both my parents have passed, but I still want them to be proud of what I do.

“I keep a photo of my dad by the side of my bed, and mum loved lavender, so I keep some little bags of lavender under my pillow and when I

smell that I feel mum is still with me.”

Keeping busy for Darrell might mean doing small, odd jobs for fellow residents at his retirement village or exercising his robot dog, Windy, as NOTA has written about before…entertaining people, making people smile.

“If I can make one person happy in a day, that makes me happy and keeps me away from feelings of depression.”

Planning your Retirement

Why community living could make you happier and healthier AS a society, we prioritise accumulating wealth during our working lives – so it’s natural to assume having more money is the key to a healthier retirement. But research shows that the type of community in which we live can make a big difference.

Recently, ProMatura conducted a survey of UK retirement community residents and prospective residents and found two-thirds of retirement community residents said their health had either improved or remained about the same since they moved in. And residents were two to five times more likely than nonresidents to take part in fitness and social activities.

During that same period, Ingenia Gardens conducted a resident survey and found that

82% of residents had a positive outlook on life and 90% were moderately to extremely satisfied with the sense of community they felt.

Both surveys suggest that many retirement community residents experience a sense of peace of mind and in times such as these, community connection has never been more valuable.

Maintain your independence and wellbeing in a safe, secure rental community for seniors. Call Sandra, Community Manager at Ingenia Gardens Coffs Harbour on 02 6650 0982 to arrange a free community tour or go to ingeniagardens.com.au/ coffs-harbour for more information.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

D

By Manny WOOD

Vulnerable persons allege unconscionable conduct ROBERT and Helen decide to move closer to their daughter, Diane.

They had a falling out with their other daughter, Mary, several years ago.

Robert and Helen wish to disinherit Mary and Diane tells them that if they purchase their new property in Diane’s name, it will be protected against a possible claim by Mary.

She also says that it will make things easier in terms of the administration of their estates.

Robert and Helen sell their home and purchase their new property in Diane’s name.

Robert is diagnosed with dementia prior to settlement.

Shortly after Robert and Helen move into their new home, they realize that the property is not suitable due to issues with access and the internal stairs.

They talk to Diane about selling the property and relocating.

An argument ensues and Diane says, “I’m not selling. The house is mine.

You gave it to me.”

After obtaining legal advice, Robert and Helen commence action in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, seeking orders that the property be transferred into their names for the purposes of sale.

They allege that Diane engaged in unconscionable conduct and plead a “resulting trust” on the basis that they paid the whole of the purchase price.

Diane defends the claim, asserting that the house was gifted to her.

The Court places little weight in Robert’s evidence, due to his mental capacity and notes that there is a “presumption of advancement” to the effect that transactions such as these are deemed to be gifts if there is insufficient evidence to the contrary.

Ultimately, the Court finds that there is insufficient evidence to establish a contrary intention.

However, the Court finds that the gift was to only take effect after Robert and Helen’s death and that they retain a life interest in the property, entitling them to rent-out the property and relocate.

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

DEAR Jasminda,

My wife has started a plant-based diet to reverse the effects of our overeating during lockdown. Though I find this admirable, I'm starving after each meal, so I've taken to making up an excuse to go for a drive, and then heading to the

That Sinking Feeling DEAR News Of The Area

WARREN Tindall (‘Conaghan’s contrary opinions on climate change’, p28, NOTA 22 October Edition) suggests flooding in Coffs Harbour is the result of climate change and sea level rise will see the town under water within decades.

The more plausible reason for flooding in Coffs Harbour is that the town lies on low land in a basin surrounded by very steep hills.

Consequently runoff is quick to develop in heavy rain.

Over the years with more

development occurring in the catchment the amount of runoff is increased.

The only drainage system for the area is Coffs Creek.

Sometime in the past the natural estuary of the creek was reduced from hundreds of metres wide to approximately twenty metres wide.

Thus restricting the rate of outflow that the creek naturally required. If the tide is high the problem is compounded.

Humans have contributed to the problem but not through climate change.

As for the sea level, it has been rising for the past twenty thousand years.

It is difficult to tell what is natural and what is human caused.

It was rising at the rate of 120 mm per decade until 7,000 years ago when it slowed dramatically. For the past three decades the rate has been 3mm per year.

At that rate it will take 100 years to rise 30cm.

A problem it may be but no need for alarmism.

Regards, W DUESBURY, Boambee.

Poor state of the Coffs Harbour Jetty Recreational Area DEAR News Of The Area, I WOULD like to comment on the poor state of the cleanliness of the fixed seating area within the Jetty Recreational Area.

Each Sunday, many locals congregate at the Jetty to catch up and share their week's activities. We now find that to access any of the fixed seating areas, we must first clean and remove

the rubbish left behind by persons unknown during the previous evening.

Rubbish will consist of half eaten pizza, remains of ice creams, soft drinks and any fast food purchased from local venders.

In addition the seating as well as the table tops must be washed down to remove the debris.

We believe that the cleaning of this area should be undertaken by Coffs Harbour City Council (CHCC) employees, just

like the daily cleaning of the public toilets in the Jetty vicinity.

Being ratepayers, we would like the CHCC to take action to ensure that locals and tourists can enjoy their Sunday markets and gatherings to be enjoyed by all without having to take cleaning material to wash down prior to taking occupancy of the fixed seating areas.

Regards, Lyndall WEATHERBY, Coffs Harbour.

Advantages of nuclear submarines DEAR News Of The Area,

AS an ex-Royal Navy nuclear submariner I would like to comment on Mr Newcombe's letter ('Submarines unnecessary for Australia', p29, NOTA 22 October Edition).

Yes, there is a radiation hazard.

OPINION & LETTERS

Daring newspaper heist captured on CCTV AS News Of The Area (NOTA) readers across the Coffs Coast prepared for their weekly dose of local news last Friday morning, one enthusiastic local was preparing for a daring heist.

As the workday began on Friday morning, NOTA was contacted by Julie from the Book Warehouse on Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour with the news that the shop’s weekly delivery of News Of The Area papers had been stolen!

After a short investigation, CCTV footage was obtained which captured the audacious crime in action.

The enthusiastic local news lover is pictured approaching the store on a motorised scooter, before stopping the vehicle and making a dash for the bundle of 50 papers.

Quick as a flash, the papers were tucked safely under the arm of the paperthief, and the getaway vehicle (motorised scooter) escaped quickly down Harbour Drive.

The crime, reminiscent of classic heist film Ocean’s Eleven (as well as Twelve, Thirteen and Eight) has sent shockwaves through the News Of The Area

Council elections DEAR News Of The Area,

IT seems that we have to be doubly cautious when considering our vote for local government.

It is common in higher levels of government to use misinformation as well as denigration of other candidates in order to win support but in local government this takes on

a far more personal aspect and can be permanently damaging for people living in the community.

Just as the progress of the CCS (now named Yarrila Place) was fraught with half truth and downright untruth causing mistrust to grow in the community I can already see that the trend is beginning to ramp up as

the election gets closer, and it is dispiriting to note that it is a new thing in Coffs harbour elections.

This has the potential to discourage otherwise excellent candidates from putting themselves forward, especially women.

What have the Nationals been doing on climate change?

DEAR News Of The Area,

THE Climate Questions article (p1, News Of The Area, Friday 15 October Edition) included a response to NOTA from our local federal MP Mr Pat Conaghan which highlighted the need for a transition away from fossil fuels and reducing emissions which indicates that there is a belief in climate change, although that is my interpretation.

However, if you are to have a transition then you need a starting point, but any suggestion when such a transition should take place, or how it should be implemented, and what it should include, appears to be elusive and a step too

far to contemplate for the National Party.

Mr Conaghan was also quoted as saying, “I am all for leading the way to net zero but not to the detriment of regional and rural people. This is why we need to see a clear, determined path of action with proper protections for Australia before we commit to the rest of the world.”

In my humble opinion Mr Conaghan’s response indicates that his expectation is that someone other than himself or the National Party should be doing the work to put forward a policy for the regional and rural areas of Australia.

This leads me to question where have they

been and what have they been doing for the last three parliamentary terms, two of which were before Mr Conaghan was elected but the incumbent was still from the National Party?

Why haven’t the Nationals developed a policy for the regional and rural areas of Australia rather than denying and delaying until the country’s government is now in crisis trying to scramble together something at the last minute to offer to the rest of the world and prevent tariffs being implemented by other countries that will be a disaster for regional and rural Australia, the very constituents the Nationals claim to want to protect from the effects of

climate change?

Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce says his party won't be "forced into a corner" but this issue has been in the centre of the room for a decade, it would appear the Nationals are forcing themselves into a corner because of their own inaction.

Deputy Nationals leader Mr D Littleproud said recently that more ambitious federal targets were off the table, with the plan presented to the party room containing no reference to a higher 2030 target and that the only details that have been presented to the National Party is for net zero by 2050.

He also indicated that

q With face covered by mask and glasses, the papers are taken in broad daylight!

“I guess that means people are enjoying the paper,” Gaye said.

“However, we would hope

that in future people only take one paper so as many people can enjoy the paper each week as possible.”

Net Zero target misses the point THE issue of a Net Zero target misses the point of what it's all about.

The international climate scientists have issued a code red warning that "Climate change is widespread, rapid, and intensifying, and some trends are now irreversible".

But while the Liberals and Nationals argue about

what to do about it and how much it will cost them, the cost of inaction is intensifying.

A 2030 target is desperately needed to stem the tide of what is happening now and to try to reduce the dreadful consequences for our children of global warming in the future.

Regards.

Brian MAHONY, Coffs Harbour.

he thought they would need the time, air and space to be able to do that in a constructive manner, to get a result on that.

As well, he indicated that any other proposals would have to be very clearly defined before they were given any consideration.

Mr Littleproud’s statements appear to reinforce the perception that the Nationals have done no work on developing a plan or policy for the effects that climate change will have on the regional and rural areas of Australia during the last three terms of government.

The current fiasco resulting from the federal LNP government needing to come up with a position on climate change to

present to the world and COP26 in Glasgow does little to provide any level of confidence that any agreement that is reached within the federal LNP coalition will be a durable plan to provide the overarching policy position desperately needed by other levels of government and the private sector in order to drive the transition that is so long overdue.

It appears the state governments will be continuing with plans they have already announced meaning Australia will once again have a disjointed approach to something that is a global problem and should be dealt with under a national plan.

Regards, Trevor HARRAGON, Boambee East.

DEAR News Of The Area,

Cost blowout on Airport Enterprise Park DEAR News Of The Area,

I FIND the relatively tame reaction of Council, to what can only be described as a poorly managed project known as the Airport Enterprise Park, to be incredible.

Given that the concept for this project began well over 30 years ago, albeit not in its current form, there

Friday, 29 October 2021

is absolutely no excuse for what has obviously been an incredibly inept design in respect of lack of site investigation (a large part of this area was and is tea tree swamp) and even a simple design estimation of required fill and drainage.

Council back in the 70's built the Cook Drive Industrial area in worse ground conditions and on

budget - I should know, I designed and supervised it.

To have a situation where the original estimate for earthworks at $1.5 million becomes $9 million is scandalous - at the very least the project team should have been severely reprimanded, and whoever was responsible for the design should be removed from any further project,

or, if a consultant, never employed again.

The pathetic reasons for the blowout are laughable, and certainly not in any way an engineering analysis of the mess.

Purely as a matter of interest, with a proper design and normal site investigations etc, a project of this nature is normally estimated at expected

www.newsofthearea.com.au

actual cost plus 10% for contingencies.

No project, however well managed, does not come across unexpected problems.

However in this case, the usual procedures were not followed.

The "cost blowout" should, being extremely generous, have been no more than $700,000 to $1

million.

In a closing comment, if this is how Council handles a relatively straightforward road and earthworks project, we are in immense trouble with something as abstract as the ‘whatever its being called this week’ project.

SCU podcast features Coffs lecturer

COFFS COASTNews Of The Area

Pleasure Audit at the end of the year to find out what gives Australians the most pleasure.

She encourages those participating to look beyond pleasures that are front of mind such as chocolate to pleasures such as a warm shower.

“That's just so impossibly beautiful and luxurious,” she said.

“I think we often take things for granted that are actually wonderful.”

Dr Kozlowski completed her undergraduate Psychology degree, Honours, and PhD at Southern Cross University.

In 2009, she commenced work at Southern Cross and has a true passion for democratising tertiary education.

“I am here for students who don't know anyone who's been to university before, or Indigenous students, there are so few Indigenous psychologists in Australia.

“If I can facilitate the education for Indigenous students to come along and go out there and work with their own cultural understanding, that just means so much,” she said.

By Sandra MOON

COFFS Harbour Psychology Lecturer Dr Desirée Kozlowski is the latest talent to be featured on the Southern Cross University (SCU) Buzz Podcast.

She discusses everything from pleasure and gender harmony, why change scares people so much, mental health during COVID, and the surprising outcomes of research into the psychology of swearing.

In our current climate, Dr Kozlowski sees the number of people using mental health services since the pandemic started, and as the nation becomes divided on issues such as vaccines and lockdowns, Desirée shares how the human desire to want the absolute truth plays a part.

“I think what would be ideal is if we can all just understand that everybody's afraid.

“Everybody's suffering and there is no one true position. While we’re polarised, it’s just eating away at us even more,” said Desirée.

“Having a go at people in the other camp and digging in even more firmly, it's almost like we're clinging to the belief that our opinion is absolute truth and anybody else's opinion can be discounted.

“I think we have to accommodate a bit more nuance than that,” she said. q Dr Desiree Kozlowski yarns it up on SCU As a researcher she podcast. Photo: Southern Cross University. will conduct a National

White Bluff Open For Summer

By Sandra MOON

ARTISTS and art lovers alike will be wrapped to know that the long-awaited White Bluff Project exhibition will open October 30.

And in a twist the exhibition will remain open all summer.

The much anticipated project is a collaboration of over thirty creatives and focuses on White Bluff at Sapphire Beach and forms part of the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery’s twentieth anniversary exhibition.

Featured artists, scientists and participants include Ray Rixon, Sarah Mufford, Mark George, Megan George, Terri Butterworth, Tori Donnelly, Joanne Elliott, John Van Der Kolk, Martin Van Veluwen, Jeremy

Core and Cluster women’s refuge housing

By Andrea FERRARI

EARLY in the COVID-19 pandemic, Australian healthcare and women’s safety professionals predicted an “impending increase” in domestic violence.

A research team from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Centre for Justice conducted a nationwide survey on the impact of COVID-19 on the Domestic and Family Violence workforce and those seeking/ needing shelter.

One of the outcomes of the report was a call for increased funding for social and affordable housing.

Just announced, the NSW Government will invest $426.6 million to deliver and operate 75 extra women’s refuges using the Core and Cluster model, a much more realistic and workable design than everyone living in a onebuilding home with shared facilities.

These complexes provide a cluster of housing units built around a core where residents

can access supports such as counselling and legal support, with amenities like communal kitchens and playgrounds. $52.5 million will fund an additional 200 sustainable and affordable housing units under the Community Housing Innovation Fund, a partnership between the NSW Government and the community housing sector.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the $484.3 million funding boost over four years is the single biggest investment in tackling

q Domestic and family violence professionals welcome the funding to build purpose built Core and Cluster refuges.

Sheehan, Julie Nash, Ashleigh Frost, Chris Armstrong, Phil Greed, J P Willis, Greg Elks, Mark Graham, Dr Karina Hall and Dr Lisa Milner.

The gallery has planned a range of accompanying events including a free Panel Talk facilitated by Megan George. This will be an intimate (COVID-safe) face-to-face event held in the Gallery on Saturday 6 November at 5 - 6.30pm. The artists and scientists will have an in-depth discussion about the project and their Art/Science practice.

Registrations are very limited, so book your ticket today.

White Bluff Night will see the gallery filled with sound and stories related to the White Bluff headland only experienced at this

event.

There will be more than one session available for the general public so keep an eye on the gallery’s social media pages to register.

Lastly over the school holiday season there will be children’s interactive activities in the gallery space and an Artist Interviews Series released on our social media platforms.

So many different ways for you all to interact with this collaborative Art and Science project.

Stay tuned to the gallery website and social media for access to The White Bluff Project 3D Virtual Tour, which will go live in early November.

The exhibition runs till January 15, 2022.

COVID vaccination or medical exemption is now required to enter the Gallery.

domestic and family violence in NSW history.

“Secure and stable accommodation is one of the biggest challenges a woman and her children can face when trying to safely leave a violent relationship,” said Mr Singh.

“In fact, domestic and family violence is the leading cause of homelessness among women and children, with almost 40 percent of the people who accessed specialist homelessness services in NSW in 2019-20 having experienced domestic abuse.”

Charlotte Young, CEO of Warrina Domestic & Family

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Violence Specialist Services, told News Of The Area, “While Warrina women and children's refuge is excited to hear about the funding to build purpose built Core and Cluster refuges, we know we will not be considered.

“This funding is for new sites.

“A purpose-built refuge is what we need in Coffs Harbour; ours is one of the few refuges that are actually homes that have been modified.

“As a result, residents share the kitchen and bathrooms.

“What we have learned from the pandemic is that this

is not manageable in terms of ensuring everyone’s health and wellbeing.

“We have reduced numbers into the refuge to ensure social distancing of residents and to mitigate risk of infection.

“The government proposal is to build independent units which in my experience is the way forward in terms of supporting women and children living with domestic and family violence.”

FRIDAY

THE BIG SICK

NBN, 10.50pm

Real-life couple Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon turned their unconventional love story into this heartfelt romantic comedy, earning an Academy Award nomination in the process. Pakistan-born comedian and actor Nanjiani plays a version of himself who is working as an Uber driver to support his fledgling stand-up career and dodging his parents’ arranged marriage prospects when he meets student Emily (Zoe Kazan, pictured with Nanjiani). A sudden and serious lung infection puts her into a coma.

Based on the bestselling British crime novels by Peter James and written and adapted for the small screen

by Endeavour’s Russell Lewis, Grace is a character and twisty plot-driven whodunnit wrapped in a satisfying featurelength package. Tonight, the second book following Brighton detective Roy Grace (John Simm, pictured) comes into focus, titled Looking Good Dead. Grace and Branson (Richie Campbell) grapple with two unconnected murders: a drug overdose and human remains found in a field.

It’s a taut and satisfying case.

With 18 novels and counting in James’ Roy Grace series, we could be in for the long haul.

GOING COUNTRY

ABC, 8.30pm

Premiering tonight, this warm two-part travelogue, with Justine Clarke (pictured) in the driving seat, hits all the right notes.

Clarke, who is as much at home entertaining children in The Justine Clarke Show! as she is acting in an indie drama such as Tangle, showcases her charm again in a road trip to explore Australia’s country music traditions and history. Meeting some of the country’s most beloved musicians, she also discovers how country music was the wild child of its time. Tonight, Kasey Chambers performs the country ballad Wild Colonial Boy with her dad Bill, and Paul Kelly pays homage to Slim Dusty.

All hands on deck to help hail-affected birds

By Andrea FERRARI

HAIL-affected wildlife, especially birds, need our help after the catastrophic storm last week, but we must do it in the right way to help not hinder their survival.

Mid North Coast WIRES’ Bird Coordinator for South Coffs, Patricia Russell, told News Of The Area, it's complicated, with various scenarios.

“The storm couldn’t have come at a worse time; right in the midst of breeding season,” said Patricia.

“There are so many complications and scenarios and it can be very frustrating to help these vulnerable creatures.

“In the worst of the hail-affected area, Sawtell, Toormina and Boambee, the trees have been stripped of fruit, flowers (nectar) and foliage.

“Nests have been decimated and birds have been literally knocked out by the huge hail stones; we’re seeing birds with broken legs and wings and with eye injuries.

“WIRES has attended to many calls and vets have helped generously with assessing victims.

“As a rule, feeding native birds is not advised – (such official advice, for this hailstorm related event, is being sought and will be included in an update to inform the

public what can be done to assist the struggling birdlife).

“Meat eaters should never be fed (except when advised

by NPWS).

“Kookaburra, magpies, ravens, currawongs are the predatory birds – they eat nest-eggs, nestlings and fledgling chicks.

“These bigger, confident, ‘friendly’ or ‘tame’ birds are over-breeding, out of proportion to natural food sources, and also in relation to the smaller species, thus putting tiny and small birds under threat to breed and survive successfully.

“This is the reason many (like finches, wrens, small honeyeaters etc) often are no longer seen in residential

they have lost their food source while they are still being predated upon by the large, meat-eating birds.

“Seabirds – the Shearwaters and Gulls – which live in the open spaces have been knocked around, too and have been found exhausted on the beach.

“The timing, with eggs and chicks still in the nests, means we’re losing a whole generation of birds whose young were lost in the storm.

“If you see a bird that is clearly struggling and presenting unusual behaviour you can protect it with a covering, then call

WIRES. “Throw a towel over it so it’s quiet, dark and nothing can predate upon it; call WIRES and leave it until we can get to it, or take it to your local vets.”

As you clean up, be aware of what may be still alive under mulch or amongst debris.

“Thank you to a caring community,” said Patricia.

Special thanks from WIRES go to Toormina Road Vet Clinic and Pacific Vetcare Sawtell.

been prepared for the establishment of a 293-lot residential development on Bark Hut Road, Woolgoolga.

The location has been investigated for residential development since the mid1990’s.

Lots are estimated to be on average 600m2, and to potentially include a range of lot sizes accommodating choice in dwelling types and promoting affordability.

At a Council meeting on 14 October, Cr Sally Townley questioned whether new developments in the area would be built alongside intensive planned agriculture sites existing in the area.

“We’re going to be having residential land opening up in there which is great and it's long been selected for that and it’s in a great location,” Cr Townley stated.

“Immediately to the north there is intensive planned agriculture.”

A Council director stated at the meeting that this will be an issue that will have to be addressed at some point.

Council will now initiate and forward a planning proposal to the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment seeking gateway determination to rezone part Lot 202 DP 874273, Bark Hut Road, Woolgoolga and amend Clause 7.19 of Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan

2013 (and the Key Sites Map) to include part of Lot 202 DP 874273 as a ‘key site’.

Council will also publicly exhibit the planning proposal and undertake government agency consultation based on the gateway determination issued by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, and publicly exhibit the draft Coffs Harbour Development Control Plan 2015 - Amendment No. 20 (Bark Hut Road Woolgoolga) concurrently with the associated planning proposal.

A further report will be brought back to Council for consideration following public exhibition of the planning proposal and draft Coffs Harbour Development Control Plan 2015 Amendment No. 20 (Bark Hut Road Woolgoolga).

Council will also note that future planning controls (including a Contributions Plan) will be put in place for this ‘key site’ release area and other land release sites in the wider West Woolgoolga area, to ensure that the overall area is developed with a strong sense of place and neighbourhood amenity for future residents.

Council is currently preparing local planning controls for the Woolgoolga North West Urban Release Area, which will be reported to Council separately.

Key West Woolgoolga site closer to development

By Emma DARBIN A KEY ‘greenfield’ development site at West Woolgoolga is moving a step closer to becoming developed with Coffs Harbour City Council seeking State Government approval to rezone the area.

The subject land has an area of 16.4 hectares and is located on the northern border of the Wiigulga Sports

Complex on Solitary Islands Way, which is currently undergoing construction.

A proponent-initiated application was received

by Council to amend Coffs Harbour LEP 2013, to enable low density residential development on part Lot 202 DP 874273, Bark Hut Road, Woolgoolga.

The allotment is made up of two part lots (a northern portion and a southern

portion), separated by the Wiigulga Sports Complex site.

The southern portion of the lot, accessed from Newmans Road, Woolgoolga was rezoned in December 2020 to facilitate residential development on the land.

“Eventual housing resulting from the rezoning is likely to have a positive impact on the Woolgoolga community in terms of

the provision of affordable housing, strengthening of existing community, commercial and retail services,” a Council report stated.

“Similarly, the development of the Northern Beaches Multi-Purpose Centre and West Woolgoolga Sports Complex that are located in between the two planning proposal areas will complement the growth of the Woolgoolga North West urban investigation area and provide important community facilities.”

“It’s been a real big hit with our patrons especially on Sunday afternoons where our

social issues as abuse and equality?

“I feel like they need to stop,” Annabelle said.

Annabelle’s speech discussed her vision for Australia in 20 years, when she will be aged 30, for the country to contain no abuse or violence and much more equality.

To change these problematic social issues in the future, Annabelle called on Australians to accept LGBTQ+ people in the community and to treat women and men the same.

“This would include giving women the same payment as men and for LGBTQ+ people to be accepted for who they are and who they want to be,” Annabelle wrote in her speech.

“Having more equality would

mean when I grow up and my friends grow up, we can get paid well and can be who we want to be without worrying.”

Annabelle’s speech described different forms of abuse including animal abuse, domestic violence and cyberbullying.

“In 2020, 1 in 5 kids have been cyberbullied, 1 in 4 women experienced domestic violence and up to 60,000 cases of animal abuse have been reported,” her speech detailed.

“Having no abuse when I am older would be great because I will be safe, my children will be safe and so will my pets.

“This is my vision for Australia in 20 years and hopefully most of it comes true.”

Annabelle said she felt “special” watching her speech being read out in Parliament while surrounded by her family members and their friends.

Her proud Year 4 teacher at Woolgoolga Public School, Mrs Townsend, also replayed a video recording of her speech being read out in Parliament to show the rest of the students in her year at school last week.

Woolgoolga girl’s voice heard in Parliament

By Emma DARBIN

A YOUNG Woolgoolga girl’s vision for a future full of equality and free from abuse has made history with a speech written by her read out in Federal Parliament by NSW Senator Jenny McAllister on Wednesday 20 October.

Year 4 Woolgoolga Public School student Annabelle Thompson's speech was read out in Parliament last week as part of Youth Voice In Parliament week, which was run by Raise Our Voice Australia and aimed at increasing youth voices in Parliament and teaching youths how the Parliamentary system works.

During the week, more than 40 Australian Members of Parliament and Senators read out speeches in Federal Parliament which were written by youths located in different electorates around the country.

The topic for the speech was ‘What do you want Australia to look like in 20 years?’

Annabelle’s speech about equality and abuse was handpicked by NSW Senator Jenny McAllister to be read out in Federal Parliament in front of her constituents and

publicly broadcast.

Annabelle said her mother, Emma Broomfield, found out about the Youth Voice In Parliament speech on Instagram around a month ago and informed Annabelle about the speech, which she was eager to participate in.

Successful applicants, like Annabelle, not only had their speech delivered in Parliament House (and therefore written into the Hansard record forever), but will also be invited to participate in a workshop on the Australian political system, run by Raise Our Voice Australia.

So why focus her speech on such important

Sydney to Coffs will initially launch with three daily return flights at $99.

“Rex’s decision not to blackout school holidays across our network is unprecedented and I would urge travellers to book without delay as these sale fares will undoubtedly sell out quickly,” Rex Deputy Chairman, the Hon John Sharp AM, said.

“The resumption of our flights will provide a much needed boost to capital city and regional economies alike, help reconnect friends and families and allow Christmas holidays to be booked with confidence.”

Mr Sharp expects Rex’s competitors to follow suit.

Friendship Afternoon Tea Postponement

By Andrea FERRARI

A HEAVY heart was felt by the Woolgoolga community when the COVID-related decision was made by Woolgoolga Red Cross Branch to postpone its jolly Friendship Afternoon Tea events, running since 1991.

For three decades Woolgoolga Red Cross has been conducting monthly Friendship Afternoon Teas.

Originally designed to provide an outing for local seniors it has grown to incorporate a variety of activities and has attracted countless locals and visitors alike.

Retiring, and reminiscing, NSW Red Cross Board Member and Branch Patron Robyn Rooth would like to thank everyone for their continued support and, along

with President Carol and the Executive, looks forward to meeting up again in February 2022.

Robyn told News Of The Area, “Whilst the format of our Friendship Afternoon Teas varies, one constant is great home cooked food and visitors can be assured of fun and diverse entertainment.

“Generations of local children have danced and sung, there have been bagpipe players, guest speakers on a variety of topics, music of all types, jokes and sing-a-longs.

“There has been pancake making – and eating, Christmas carol singing from the local school, op shop fashion parades and much

more.”

For many years the Branch was using the Community Village Hall (the mudbrick building) and more recently moved to the comfort of the Seniors Centre.

Visitors are asked to donate $2 towards the cost of hiring the hall and to make a small contribution to the humanitarian work of the organisation.

Senior Pets Say Thanks

By Sandra MOON

MISTER PO, an eleven year old moggy at Coffs Harbour’s RSPCA shelter, is one of the RSPCA’s senior pets that will benefit from a recent donation from the Petbarn Foundation.

The $100,000 donation was specifically given to assist senior pets and the RSPCA which offers subsidised adoptions for senior pets who often wait longer to be adopted and may require more veterinary care due to their age.

An RSPCA spokesperson said the money will make a huge difference to the lives of senior animals, like Mr Po, by helping to cover those costs at RSPCA shelters.

Manager of the Petbarn Foundation Janelle Bloxsom

said, “We believe all animals deserve a loving home, no matter how old they are.

“In 2012 Petbarn removed the sale of all puppies, dogs, kittens and cats from our stores and instead established a partnership with the RSPCA and other animal rescues to support adoptions.

“Since then we have proudly rehomed 58,000 pets through our 153 Petbarn in-store adoption centres.”

This includes the Coffs Harbour Petbarn store which features in-store adoption.

“Our rescue partners report that one of the main reasons senior pets are surrendered is because their elderly owners have either passed or have moved to a nursing home where they can no longer be together.

“We know how deep the bond can be between pets and their parents,so to think about an older animal being moved from a loving home at this late stage in life is incredibly sad,” said Ms Bloxsom.

“We hope the $100,000 donation from the Petbarn Foundation will support the RSPCA in the wonderful work they do caring for senior pets during this transition.”

RSPCA Australia CEO Richard Mussell said across the country, the RSPCA cares for nearly two thousand senior animals every year, so Petbarn’s donation will touch the lives of literally thousands of animals.

“It’s generally easier to find a new family for a puppy or kitten,” said Mr Mussell.

“But our shelters often

have plenty of sweetly tempered, beautifully behaved, healthy and active adult and older animals, there through no fault of their own.

“That’s why this donation will help us continue to subsidise adoption costs for these senior pets, who are often passed over for younger animals.”

Mr Mussell said older pets offer their own benefits and shouldn’t be overlooked.

“Older pets are usually calmer and already welladjusted to family life.

“And while adult and older pets still love to play and need plenty of exercise, they often take life at a slower pace than puppies and kittens — which might be a better fit for you and your family!”

“Over the years those donations have helped with the establishment of the Refugee Homework Group and the Hands On program which our volunteers conduct at the Woolgoolga Retirement Village.

“The success of the Friendship Afternoon Tea events has also resulted in increased membership of the Branch.

“Unfortunately, the decision was taken to put our Friendship Afternoon Teas on hold until next year in order to guarantee the safety and confidence of our friends and visitors, and to meet COVID regulations.

“We are looking forward to getting together again with our loyal members and friends,” said Robyn in signing off.

Scholarships for our vulnerable youth

By Andrea FERRARI

TAFE NSW students completing alternative pathways to complete year ten or twelve is a great outcome.

"At TAFE NSW Coffs Harbour, we provide students with alternative access to courses to complete their secondary schooling and successfully transition to further study and employment," she said.

"The scholarships provide critical support to assist students in overcoming financial barriers that prevent engagement in their learning, including accessing basic technology they need at home, as well as assistance with transport costs to attend classes.”

Commenting on

APPLICATIONS are open for the NSW Government’s Youth Development Scholarship program for young people living in social housing or on the housing register, students receiving private rental assistance, or those living in supported accommodation or out-of-home care.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said young people across NSW have had to endure the effects of the pandemic and adapt to new learning environments.

“The Youth Development Scholarship will help eliminate some of the barriers to higher education encountered by many individuals in our community,” he said.

The $1,000 scholarships for Years 10,11 and 12 or TAFE equivalent, can be used to help pay for education-related expenses such as textbooks, IT equipment and internet access.

The 18-year-old was put through his paces with skills tests during the recent AFL Draft Combine, as he tries to earn a spot on an AFL team through this year's AFL Draft.

Anderson completed his skills tests in Coffs Harbour rather than in Sydney due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The website ‘Aussie

Group 2 Rugby League adopt new points system to attract former NRL players

By Aiden BURGESS

GROUP 2 Rugby League will adopt a new player points system in 2022, in the hope of attracting former NRL players to play in the competition.

The New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) will introduce a state-wide Player Points Index System

Friday, 29 October 2021

(PPIS) for the first time next season across regional and metropolitan open age competitions which will encourage former NRL stars to give back to the communities that kickstarted their careers.

The new system includes a Notional Principal Contracts Allowance for former NRL

stars to have their points recalculated to a notional value as their return has a positive impact on the club, competition and community.

NSWRL Head of Football Robert Lowrie highlighted an example of a former NRL player returning to his home club under a reduced player points system.

“A prominent example of a local junior incentive would be former Parramatta Eels five-eight Daniel Mortimer, who played almost 150 NRL games including the 2009 Grand Final and is now captain-coach of Orange CYMS,” he said.

“As Daniel came through the junior ranks

www.newsofthearea.com.au

at CYMS club, he would be considered a zero-point player in recognition of his development.”

Group 2 Rugby League has recently featured former NRL players Clint Greenshields and Danny Wicks who both played in Grafton Ghosts premiership sides.

Group 2 Rugby League

has also featured former NRL players throughout the years including Troy Robinson, Mark Carroll, and Brandon Costin.

In addition to the new points system, the fact former NRL players Sam Burgess and Clint Greenshields are coaching the Orara Valley Axemen and Sawtell Panthers respectively next season will no doubt help in potentially attracting former NRL players to play in the competition.

Matt Parsons: Men of League Guest Speaker

By David WIGLEY

NRL Premiership winner Matt Parsons is this year’s guest speaker at the North Coast Men of League annual fundraising luncheon on Saturday 30 October.

Matt Parsons grew up in the country town of Werris Creek near Tamworth before embarking on an NRL career which started with the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 1997 and then the Newcastle Knights in 2000.

In his first year at the Knights they lost in the preliminary final to the Sydney Roosters.

The following year the prop forward reached a career high, winning the 2001 Premiership with the Newcastle Knights.

Parsons shared some of the highlights of his career with News Of The Area and the country values which helped him reach the top.

“Winning the premiership was the highlight of my career, to get the opportunity to play in a grand final is amazing but to win the competition is something else.

“I grew up playing country footy in Tamworth, which is similar to the Coffs Coast just without the water, strong family values and a hard work ethic were a haulmark of growing up in the country.

“I came from a hardworking, salt-of-the-earth background where my dad was a shearer and my mum worked for Telstra so I just had that bred into me.

“I never dreamed of

playing in the NRL, I couldn’t even get into any of the rep teams, I just loved playing the game with my mates and throwing the footy.

“Then at the age of 17 and 18 I started to grow and suddenly I could compete against the bigger guys and I just got stronger and better, then I played some matches in Sydney and got spotted and it went from there,” he said.

After finishing his NRL career on a high, Parsons immediately returned to his home town of Werris Creek where it all began.

Parsons alluded to some of the challenges facing traditional sports and encouraged juniors to keep it simple and just get out and play.

2021 was one of the biggest seasons seen in the history of North Coast Football.

2021 saw 5,200 players in over 450 teams from 25 clubs compete in 28 divisions.

North Coast Football General Manager Andrew Woodward reflected on a big year of football.

“It’s been the biggest year ever for football on the North Coast,” he said.

“We had a record number of players and teams, with one new club joining the local football family, we bounced back nicely from 2020.

“Anywhere between 10,000 and 20,000 people are out and about every weekend watching football on the North Coast.”

Here are the standout clubs of the 2021 season.

Coffs City United: The Lions were the undefeated minor premiers in the Coastal Premier League and did the double by finishing minor premiers in reserve grade.

The club also excelled in women’s competitions with the Lionesses finishing on top of the ladder in the second division South and over 30s

“Back in my day you played footy all year and cricket in the summer, now youngsters have so many options of what sports to play or even to stay at home and play computer games.

“I encourage anyone to get out there and have a game with your mates, it doesn’t matter what sport, just get out there and play, there’s so many benefits,” said Parsons.

The Men of League Foundation 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, which Parsons is delighted to be part of.

“I’m delighted to be part of this organisation, a lot of people are doing it tough at the moment and it’s incredible how they are able to help the community and make a big difference,” said Parsons.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

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.

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.
