fundraiser and provided the CCFWF Team with house-made grass-fed beef sausages.

The Mermaid Beach House baked fresh focaccia and filled it with a butter poached sausage and six-hour slow cooked onions.

Bar Que Sera’s Summer Iced Tea proved a refreshing welcome on the humid day.

Yarrawarra Cultural Centre took over the Sizzle with Kangaroo sausages and, using freshly foraged Warrigal Greens, created a Warrigal Green Chimichurri.

They displayed some fresh greens on the table to showcase the native ingredients and educate people on what it looks like when freshly picked.

Next up, The Palmetto Food Caravan took over.

Lindsay Russell, one of the festival coordinators, co-owns this food truck with her partner Ed Martin - who was also taking photos for the day through his business, Broken Open Productions, when he wasn’t manning the grill.

Their menu consisted of homemade Palmetto BBQ Sauce, classic white bread, West High Street Butchery sausages, onions cooked with local Gallows Brewing Co beer, and roasted green chillies from New Life Farm.

Lindsay told News Of The Area, “Most importantly, on top of all of the delicious, crowd pleasing food, was the great cause that this event raised money for - OzHarvest.

“Julie Ferguson (founder Coffs OzHarvest) and volunteer Tracey Dick-Smith pulled up in the bright yellow OzHarvest van to chat to people about their efforts rescuing food and helping put food on plates for those in need.”

This event served as a tiny taste of the

people can experience at The Coffs Coast Food & Wine Festival from March 4-13, 2022.

The team comprises local foodie fans Dave Mansfield from Amplify Events & The Jetty Beach House, Heidi Figenschau and Lindsay Russell from Fluke & Fern Marketing Agency.

“Our goal is to showcase local chefs,

businesses and ingredients from all over the region from Bellingen up to Woolgoolga.”

A donation of $1 from every CCFWF ticket will go to OzHarvest Coffs Harbour.

The Provedores sponsored the event with eco-friendly napkins and Masterfoods provided classic sauces.

Mayoral Candidates Support Climate Change Declaration The Coffs Coast Climate Action Group held a mayoral forum last Tuesday night at C.ex Coffs Harbour.

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Coffs Coast Climate Action Group held a mayoral forum last Tuesday night at C.ex Coffs Harbour.

Sally Townley, Tegan Swan, Jonathan Cassell, Tony Judge and Donna Pike (all mayoral candidates) plus Htun Htun Oo, who represented John Arkan's ticket, addressed questions from the audience.

The six attending candidates on the panel spoke to a full house.

The event was also live streamed for those who could not attend.

Paul Amos and George Cecato sent apologies but Rodger Pryce and Michael Adendorff did not.

Liisa Rusanen, one of the organisers, said, “This certainly reflects on Mr Pryce’s and Mr Adendorff’s lack of interest in climate action.”

Friday, 3 December 2021

Erika Van Schellebeck, a former council employee and mother from Sawtell, brought in her daughter's bicycle helmet which was

smashed by the recent supercell hailstorm.

She asked candidates to support a motion to declare a Climate Emergency, noting

that the Coffs Harbour City Council (CHCC) is one of only three coastal and hinterland councils between Sydney and Queensland who have not yet declared one.

Declaring a Climate Emergency requires a council to take actions to mitigate climate change.

All six candidates present expressed support

for a climate emergency declaration by Council and Sally Townley highlighted that a petition for Council to declare a climate emergency had been initiated two years ago by high school student, Ellena Cheers-Flavell.

Ms Cheers-Flavell was very disappointed that the motion was not passed at the time, and is now running for Council herself, as the youngest person to nominate for CHCC. There was further

discussion about the challenges of responding to climate impacts and building resilience, as well as improving transport options, including cycleways.

There was strong support for more localproduced renewable energy and sustainable, affordable housing solutions.

Ms Rusanen said that it was an overwhelmingly positive evening, with innovative ideas for climate solutions for our community and genuine, respectful discussion of the challenges ahead.

“While climate action has been blocked at the Federal level, this forum shows that local leadership on climate is possible,” she said.

Ms Rusanen added, “We need people on Council who understand the need to prepare for the climate crisis, which is already having impacting our community with more extreme weather, and we need councillors who can also see the opportunities in climate solutions, in supporting the local economy and making our region a cleaner, nicer place to live."

FROM Page 1 to this week’s Saturday 4 December date.

The postponements angered many members of the community at the time who were eager to see new councillors sitting on Council, particularly following repeated split councillor votes at Council meetings over the controversial Cultural and Civic Space project, and the Mayor being forced to use her casting vote on many occasions due to the Council having an even number of councillors.

The postponements have seen the current Council team serve in office for an additional year, serving a five-year Council term instead of the usual four-year period.

This year’s incoming Council members will serve a three-year term, due to the local government election being postponed one year.

Cases Down, Vaccines Up The latest data shows the local COVID-19 vaccination rates are above a whopping 95 percent.

q Anyone yet to be vaccinated can find a clinic or book through the Vaccine Clinic Finder.

By Sandra MOON

THE latest data shows the local COVID-19 vaccination rates are above a whopping 95 percent.

Our Local Government Area active case numbers have dropped to five with four of those in Coffs Harbour.

The total number of cases in the LGA since the pandemic started is 73.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Julie Sturgess said North Coast residents have pulled together in an exceptional show of community spirit to ensure more than 90% of adults and older teens are protected against the worst of COVID. “North Coast residents understand that living in one of the most visited regions in NSW means they will be living with COVID in the future and they have chosen the best defence possible,” said Ms Sturgess.

“We are known for our resilience up here and we’ve had some tough times over the past few years.

“There's no question that our community has rallied around again in a solid stand against this virus.

“As we have seen recently, the risk of outbreaks is still very real and I urge anyone who has yet to be vaccinated to take that

step, particularly for our younger residents aged twelve to fifteen years.

“We don’t have regional figures for this age group, but national data shows 74 percent of people aged twelve to fifteen years-old are vaccinated with their first dose and 62 percent are vaccinated with two doses.”

Ms Sturgess hopes those numbers accelerate over the next week or two.

“We also have to remember that there are some people in our community who want to be vaccinated, but cannot due to medical reasons.

“If the rest of us who are eligible follow

through, this keeps our more vulnerable residents safer too,” Ms Sturgess said.

The Coffs Harbour LGA has a population of 76,648.

The total number of COVID tests since the pandemic began is 71,288.

Currently there is a daily test rate of 89 tests across the testing sites in the LGA. The data on the recent number of tests totalled 2363.

The latest NSW Government data shows the highest case numbers in zero to nine year olds but the highest deaths in eighty to 89 year olds.

Council candidates speak at Farmers' Forum in Nana Glen

By Andrea FERRARI

NSW FARMERS’ Coffs Harbour Branch held a community forum to meet the mayoral and councillor candidates on Wednesday 24 November at the Nana Glen Hall.

Paul Shoker, NSW Framers’ Coffs Harbour Branch Chair, officiated over the meeting.

Long-time local farmer Garry Dew, a Nana Glen Hall committee member affectionately known locally as Mr Nana Glen, introduced the candidates and was the timekeeper for the meeting.

With the focus on farming and rural life, candidates shared their policies in agriculture, land division, housing shortages and solutions, bridge building and

repairs and environmental issues.

Candidates for Mayor and/or Councillors spoke in ‘lucky draw’ order.

Jonathan Cassell promised a strategy of regional employment and investment, coming from a personal place of passion about protecting the biodiversity of ‘this area’ – rural Coffs Harbour.

He advocates creating a less divided community through putting money across the community in fair distribution.

He cited the Grow the Grower opportunity for young farmers on small blocks using new technologies to create local healthy food produce, exemplified by New Life Farm at Sapphire Beach.

Tegan Swan said her team was modelled on the diversity

of the LGA, introducing Troy Robinson.

Cr Swan said, “If and when Troy gets elected he will be the first Gumbaynggirr Councillor in Coffs Harbour.

“The team’s focus is education and industry and getting the little things right so you can trust us on the big things, and re-establishing trust.”

Tony Judge stated, “Coffs is growing, and we cannot stop people wanting to live here but the community should have a say in its growth.

“Council should be brave enough to come forward, be transparent about how and where they are spending the money.”

George Cecato said his team is supporting businesses and farming industries and

always telling the truth.

“We need to work closely with the community to support local development.”

John Arkan promised to listen to the needs of people and deliver on that.

“There has been a division on Coffs Harbour City Council’s spending spree and division in the farming community.”

He referred to the community as the stakeholders and promised to ensure people get heard.

Michael Adendorff said farmers are the biggest innovators.

He invited everyone to read his policies on his website and promised to bring these visions to the people.

He has advocated council not to have to approve

everything but to give the decisions back to the people.

Liberal Democratic candidate Greg Renet said there needs to be better communications with ‘you guys’ (the community) and promised to listen to what people want.

He said council seems to have a closed-door system and he advocates for transparency, especially noting the tendering process.

Rodger Pryce, local farmer, commented that a vast majority of the LGA is producing agricultural products, “And yet Coffs Harbour Local Growth Management Strategy 2030 has one-and-a-half paragraphs in an 80-page document on agriculture.

“Any other city in the world promotes what it produces …it’s known for it…

Coffs needs that.”

Donna Pike said farmers have been left out of the picture and her agenda is to have a voice in the arena “because the current council

q Troy Robinson with his team’s Mayoral candidate Tegan Swan.

wouldn’t listen...I am about transparency and disclosure”.

“I want to get farmers together and talk; not just to say but actually do.”

Pioneering the Council’s recycling wheelie bin system in 1989, Donna said she stands to “preserve and improve everyone’s lifestyle within this beautiful region”.

Sally Townley said her team’s focus on rural issues covered roadside mowing, bridge maintenance and farm workers’ accommodation.

Her vision is to create a thriving, diverse and expanding community of food producers who can sell excellent products locally, without compromising water and soil health.

She advocates for town planning changes such as building a second property on rural land, thus offering greater accommodation flexibility.

A Q&A session with the community followed.

Final sitting of current Coffs Harbour councillors

By Emma DARBIN

THE final meeting of the current Coffs Harbour City councillor team has been held, with outgoing councillors not contesting again at the local government election on Saturday 4 December farewelled and acknowledged for their community efforts.

Long standing councillors Mayor Cr Denise Knight and Cr Keith Rhoades sat their final Council meeting, with their partners in attendance, on Thursday 25 November and their contribution to the Coffs Harbour region during their time on Council was acknowledged by their fellow councillors.

All other six councillors, including Deputy Mayor Cr Paul Amos, Cr Michael Adendorff, Cr Tegan Swan, Cr John Arkan, Cr Sally Townley and Cr George Cecato are running for Mayor and Councillor at the local government election.

Mayor Knight wished all the current councillors running in the election the “best of luck”.

“Keep it clean, keep it tidy; I wish you all the very best,” Cr Knight said as the Council

meeting came to a close.

Mayor Knight thanked Cr Keith Rhoades for his 30 years of dedication on Council.

“I’d also like to acknowledge the General Manager Steve McGrath, the Directors, Group Leaders, Team Leaders and all the staff that are of Coffs Harbour City Council and thank everybody for their help and support.

“Also, my present Deputy Mayor and my previous Deputy Mayors that have served in the position admirably and have really given the Deputy Mayor role something that I hope the next Deputy Mayor can aspire to.”

Mayor Knight also thanked the community and all the volunteers that “work tirelessly in the community, for electing all of us”.

“We are an amazing team, also, we don’t always agree but that makes a good Council,” Cr Knight said.

“A good government is only as good as it’s opposition, and it makes us all work harder.”

Mayor Knight also thanked her husband Chris and her family and announced that she will remain Coffs

Coffs Harbour Deputy Mayor Cr Paul Amos acknowledged Cr Knight’s contribution to the Coffs Harbour community at the final meeting.

“It has been huge, 13 years of dedication, that’s a long, long time of your life, and the bulk of that as a Mayor,” Cr Amos said.

“In my five years I’ve met a woman who’s strong, dedicated and generous.

“It’s a great pleasure to have such a people-person around us.”

Cr Amos said Cr Knight has been an inspiration to many young women.

“I think that’s probably one of the reasons you came into this job,” he said.

q The outgoing Council has sat for the final time at their last Council meeting together.

“Your compassion and your passion are unstoppable, they’re unquestionable.

your retirement.”

Cr Rhoades thanked all of the councillors he has worked with during his 30 years on Council, since 1991, including the more “colourful characters” on Council.

“Yes you do have your differences, but those differences are what you feel is right for your community, and you feel that you are acting on behalf of your community when you make those decisions,” Cr Rhoades said.

“I wouldn’t be here, none of us would be here without the support of our community members that vote for us, and I thank all of those over that period of time on seven

elections.

“I had the opportunity in life to grow with a town that became a city, that became a regional place, a regional destination; we have grown to be now the leading regional city within NSW.” Cr Rhoades also thanked his wife, Trish, and his family.

“I can’t thank them enough for allowing me to do what I have done for that period of time, thankyou,” he said.

Mayor Knight called the final meeting of the current Council team to a close and marked the end of her final Council meeting as Coffs Harbour Mayor with her gavel for one final time.

McDonald’s takes legal action against Toormina franchise rejection

By Emma DARBIN

McDONALD’S Australia has taken court action against Coffs Harbour City Council over its rejection of a McDonald’s franchise at Toormina in April this year.

A development application by McDonald’s to establish the new fast food restaurant in Toormina’s central shopping precinct in the car park area of Toormina Gardens Shopping Centre, on the right of the car park entry, was rejected by Council in April.

The new McDonald’s was proposed to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and contain a dual drive through and 29 car parking spaces, and access to the McDonald’s was to be through the shopping centre car park.

A community campaign by Toormina locals was instigated following the development application and a petition titled ‘No 24 HR McDonalds on Toormina Rd’ and a Facebook page titled ‘No 24/7 McDonalds in 2452’ established against the proposed McDonald’s, with local residents concerned about the location of the McDonald’s, traffic congestion issues, resulting anti-social behaviour, health concerns from having a major fast food outlet in the area, and the fact that another McDonald’s restaurant is located only 5.8 kms away.

McDonald’s Australia has now taken action against the refusal of the development application by lodging an appeal with the Land and Environment Court.

TicliBlaxlandLawyers

A hearing date has been set for 28 February 2022 for a Conciliation Conference between McDonald's Australia and Coffs Harbour City Council before a Commissioner of the Land and Environment Court.

A Council spokesperson confirmed the hearing date, but stated that “Council does not comment on matters that are before the Court”.

Those who made public submissions to Council about the proposed development application early this year have been recently contacted by Council’s lawyers to ascertain if they wish to provide evidence to the Conciliation Conference by making either an oral submission (via telephone or conferencing) on the morning of the conference or by making a written

q A Conciliation Conference will be held between McDonald’s Australia and Coffs Harbour City Council in February over Council’s rejection of a franchise at Toormina in April. submission which will be tendered to the Commissioner at the conference.

A total of 81 submissions were originally received by Council regarding the Toormina McDonald’s development.

Toormina resident Marion Beer was one of the people who made a public submission to Council against the proposed McDonald’s and has resubmitted her written submission for the Conciliation Conference, and she is urging others who have been contacted by Council’s lawyers to do the same. ”We do not need another one in Toormina,” Marion stated to News Of The Area.

“We don’t want it full stop.”

Man charged following June crash in Toormina A MAN has been charged following an investigation into a serious motor vehicle collision earlier this year.

About 1:10pm on Thursday 3 June 2021, emergency services were called to Sawtell Road, Toormina, following reports a Holden Captiva SUV, travelling west bound, collided head-on with a Honda CRV travelling in the

opposite direction.

Officers attached to the Coffs-Clarence Police District, with assistance from specialist officers attached to the Crash Investigation Unit, attended and commenced an investigation into the crash.

The driver of the Holden – a 44-year-old-man – and his two passengers – a 38-year-old-man and

38-year-old woman – were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Coffs Harbour Health Campus with multiple, serious injuries.

The driver of the Honda ­– a 64-year-old man – was trapped for some time before being freed by Fire and Rescue NSW. He was also treated

The bike lane’s permanence in the town will be decided by the community, following the completion of the trial.

“Installation of the bike lane has been re-scheduled to begin in February 2022 and the grant is being extended to take the new start date into account,” a Council spokesperson stated.

Council was allocated a State Government grant of $550,000 for the new Woolgoolga bike lane, and the original grant approval deadline for construction of the on-road bike lane was December 2021.

Funding for the bike lane has been allocated from the NSW Government’s ‘Streets as Shared Spaces Program’, which is specifically aimed at delivering trial projects that test ideas for more

Woolgoolga on-road bike lane delay THE region’s first on-road bike lane, which was to be constructed and trialed in the Woolgoolga CBD from July to December 2021, has not eventuated with Coffs Harbour City Council now announcing that work on the unique project will commence in February 2022.

The three-metre wide dedicated on-road bike lane will be built along

by NSW Ambulance paramedics at the scene before being taken to the same hospital in a serious condition.

Both drivers underwent mandatory testing.

Following inquiries, detectives arrested the 44-year-old man in Coffs Harbour on Thursday 25 November 2021.

He was taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station and charged with: ● aggravated

permanent improvements to local streets, paths and public spaces.

Coffs Harbour City Council’s Director of Sustainable Infrastructure Mick Raby said the project was a Government response to last year’s COVID-19 lockdown.

“It came out of the first COVID lockdown,” Mr Raby explained.

“We all discovered walking and bike riding and it became apparent very quickly there wasn’t enough places to do that.

“The majority of shared space is actually roads and carparks in most towns and cities; this is about stealing a bit of that back.”

q Work on the region’s first on-road bike lane at Woolgoolga will commence in February.

Fatal crash at Urunga A MAN has died following a crash at Urunga.

At about 2.10pm on Monday 29 November 2021, emergency services were called to the Pacific Highway at Urunga, following reports a man had been hit by a truck.

The man – believed to be aged in his 30’s – died at the scene.

Upskill as an Accidental Counsellor

By Andrea FERRARI

FROM burned-out to lonely, fearful to jobless, across the generations people are finding life tough today.

In everyday conversations friends, family and colleagues are turning to each other sharing their daily-life experiences and any one of us can find ourselves stepping into a supportive role with a listening ear.

With the best of intentions to help, many of us find we’re feeling inept at doing anything more than giving them a hug and some well-meant words.

However, support may be on its way.

Introducing the Accidental Counsellor Foundations workshop

brought to the area through Healthy Bellingen group in conjunction with Neighbourhood Centres of Bellingen Valley and funding from Bellingen's Bushfire Recovery and Resilience grant.

This one-day workshop aims to empower people who may find themselves momentarily stepping into the shoes of the accidental counsellor to provide support to anyone in a situation of distress or crisis.

The training will be delivered by Lifeline North Coast at three venues across the shire: Urunga C.Ex, the Never Never Mind café in Dorrigo and Bellingen’s Cedar Bar & Kitchen.

Facilitator Liz Yazbek, Trainer at Lifeline North Coast told News Of The

Area, “Accidental Counsellor Foundations is an emotional crisis awareness training program designed to provide participants with some knowledge and skills to recognise, respond and refer when supporting someone who is experiencing an emotional crisis.

“There is also a module on self-care to ensure that participants take responsibility for their own wellbeing.

“The pressures created

by COVID and local disasters such as flood, storms and bushfire can take their toll in many ways.

“This training will empower you to help others - be it our neighbours, colleagues or clients - in ways that can really make a difference.”

Lifeline says this training is ideal for those working and volunteering in community services, as well

as other professions such as education, hospitality and the service industry, and indeed anyone who would like to learn skills to communicate effectively and reach out when needed.

Participants will meet

up with other locals in a relaxed learning atmosphere in one of the three beautiful local venues: Urunga C.Ex in Urunga 8 December, the Never Never Mind café in Dorrigo 9 December and Cedar Bar & Kitchen in

“In these difficult times the C.ex Group has been

enormously supportive and this will be another example of that support.”

The cars will be on display in the rear car park from about 9.45 a.m.

Local manufacturer improves production thanks to State Government grant Advanced Metal Industries is a family-owned local business that creates products that are used both nationally and internationally.

By David TUNE

ADVANCED Metal Industries is a familyowned local business that creates products that are used both nationally and internationally.

Working with a wide range of metals as well as aluminium, the company produces high quality balustrades, awnings, doors and windows and powder coated products at their Orlando Street operation.

After a short drop in demand due to the pandemic, the company is back up to full operation, but have found that the demand has led to delays in servicing some orders, often as a result of supply chain issues.

Managing Director Rick Hall told News Of The Area,

“The grant funding will allow us to improve our warehousing capacity and efficiency, and we will be changing the way our work flows through the plant.

“We anticipate that we can increase our productivity from around 100 items per shift to 160 or 170, allowing us to be more responsive to our customers’ orders.”

The $260,000 grant will also go towards new fabrication machinery to expand the range of products on offer.

Currently employing 40 full time and up to 30 casual staff, the grant will help the company to expand its workforce by up to thirteen new jobs.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said, “This grant will help

the company to upgrade its warehouse storage space to stockpile popular products and invest time and money to upskill staff, who will be crucial for the future success of the company.”

The money has come from the Regional Job Creation Fund which supports eligible businesses with grants to purchase new equipment, expand facilities, acquire technology, create new production lines or establish businesses in regional NSW. Round one of the Regional Job Creation Fund has now closed, with a second round opening in early 2022.

Gurmesh Singh addresses Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill

By Andrea FERRARI

ON the last parliamentary sitting day of 2021, the lower house of the NSW Parliament passed the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021.

Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour, told News Of The Area the Coffs Harbour electorate was in favour of the bill.

“The Coffs Harbour electorate was polled on the issue of Voluntary Assisted Dying with the question asked: ‘Should terminally ill patients be able to end their own life with medical assistance?’”

82 percent of people polled in the Coffs Harbour electorate were in favour, with ten percent being neutral and only eight percent being against.

“That survey, along with the hundreds of pieces of correspondence to my office indicated strong support for the bill in the Coffs Harbour electorate,” Mr Singh said.

To apply for voluntary assisted dying under the bill, a person must meet certain eligibility criteria.

“To be eligible for

voluntary assisted dying under the bill, a person must be over the age of 18; be assessed as having decisionmaking capabilities, and have made the decision without duress; be terminally ill with death expected within six months, or within 12 months for neurodegenerative diseases; the condition must cause intolerable suffering; and if the doctor assesses the person as having met the criteria, they must refer them to other specialists like oncologists or psychologists.

“If they are eligible, they must sign a declaration in front of two witnesses.

“Then, a voluntary assisted dying board will consider the application and

can refuse the application if it does not believe all the criteria is met.

“An independent witness must be present when the health practitioner administers the drugs

and must certify that it is voluntary.

“The patient can withdraw from the process at any time.”

Mr Singh said the bill did not reduce the importance of palliative care, as the vast majority of people would be ineligible to apply for

voluntary assisted dying.

“Of course, palliative care is and should be a key component of end-of-life care.

“The vast majority of people will not be eligible for voluntary assisted dying under the bill, and therefore may rely on palliative care

for their end-of-life care.

“I welcome any changes to palliative care that will improve end-of-life care, and we should make those improvements independent of the passage of the bill.”

Experience matters says Bellingen Mayor

By Andrew VIVIAN

“WE need experienced councillors to guide Bellingen Shire through post-COVID-19 and dealing with the impacts of climate change,” said Bellingen Shire Mayor Dominic King.

Cr King told News Of The Area, “If you haven’t been on Council before, the short term for the next Council makes it very difficult to understand the processes and constraints of local government.”

He said that as well as the basic business of local government, advocacy beyond the Council is important.

For example, Cr King

said that being on the Board of Local Government NSW helped the Council with funding applications.

He discussed how the challenges of natural disasters and COVID-19 involved the Council dealing with things that previously were not Council’s responsibility.

For example, during the bushfires, it was found that information about what to do and where to go was sporadic.

Cr King said, “We set up the Neighbourhood Care Network to ensure that everyone is connected and safe throughout the Shire.”

He said that the Council won the AJ Blewitt Award for the most progressive

council in 2020 because of its proactive approach to issues.

Cr King said the Council has a strategic plan to address the infrastructure backlog which, along with social housing and the impacts of climate change is one of the Shire’s pressing issues.

He said that everyone associated with the Council is working hard for the community.

“I absolutely take my hat off to Council staff who continue to deliver the services and do the work that the community expects through tough times,” he said.

Cr King is standing for reelection with fellow Greens Cr Jennie Fenton (Deputy

Mayor) and Cr Toni WrightTurner, along with a new candidate, Gary Fry. They point to their record

of achievement in not only maintaining roads, bridges and essential infrastructure, but also in environmental

contact with dead animals or suspected baits.

It is illegal to possess for home use.

The EPA commenced investigations after it received reports from concerned local residents that sixteen birds, including White Ibis, Brush Turkey and Wonga Pigeon had been poisoned at the Moonee

Beach Reserve, which is adjacent to Ironbark Avenue, Sandy Beach.

EPA Director Regulatory Operations Steve Orr said it was a serious offence to use pesticides that kill or harm animals such as native birds.

Mr Orr said, “We’ve tested the dead birds and the results were positive for pesticide poisoning.

“It is concerning native species have been killed in what appears to have been a deliberate and illegal act,” he said.

“A person convicted of using a pesticide that results in the death of animals such as native birds can be fined up to $120,000.

“Residents are urged to avoid suspected baits or

dead birds in the area and immediately report sightings to the EPA and any other relevant information.”

Relevant information should be reported to the EPA’s Environment Line on 131 555.

This includes witnessing suspicious activity, finding evidence of baiting and providing information to

Bellingen Protesters Support Jailed Activist

q Bellingen locals support Sergio.

Almost fifty Bellingen locals gathered at Maam Gaduying Meeting Place Park in Bellingen last week to protest the jailing of a protester in Newcastle.

By Andrew VIVIAN

ALMOST fifty Bellingen locals gathered at Maam Gaduying Meeting Place Park in Bellingen last week to protest the jailing of a protester in Newcastle.

On Tuesday 23 November 2021, 22-yearold climate activist Eric Serge Herbert (Sergio) was sentenced to twelve month’s imprisonment, six months no parole, for disrupting coal trains entering the port of Newcastle.

Sergio was granted bail on 25 November and is pending appeal of his twelve month sentence.

Mr Herbert had been

charged with obstruction to a railway locomotive or rolling stock, attempted hinder working of mining equipment and attempted assist in obstruction of rail locomotive or rolling stock.

He was also fined $200 for remaining on enclosed land without a lawful excuse.

Mr Herbert has previous convictions for similar offences.

The protesters gathered at short notice to support Mr Herbert and to express their deep concerns for the future of climate activism during a climate emergency.

They heard from a number of local elected ADVERTISEMENT

representatives and climate activists.

All expressed concerns about Mr Herbert’s imprisonment and what that could now mean for all climate activists, including many local protesters.

Tom Howell, who spoke at the event, said, "The government of Australia would rather see young people in jail than allow a small loss to major fossil fuel industry.

“It's blatantly obvious who they actually serve."

Mr Howell said peaceful climate activists should be celebrated as heroes, not criminalised by corrupt governments and that key decision makers in state and federal government who continue to allow the extraction of coal are the real criminals.

He said that front line direct action was the last resort in a climate emergency where elected governments continue to support and subsidise fossil fuel industries with

taxpayers dollars.

Over ten days of protesting at the Newcastle coal port, over 28 people have been arrested with more than 65 hours of sustained blocking of coal operations.

Northern Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Peter McKenna, said police will continue to target, identify and charge protestors as a priority.

“The actions of this group and individuals

involved are placing lives at risk.

“Illegally entering rail corridors and expecting trains that are over 1.5km in length to stop for people placing themselves in front of them is outrageous and incredibly dangerous behaviour.

“We will continue to use the full force of the law to locate and arrest any persons involved in this criminal activity,” Assistant Commissioner McKenna said.

Berries Australia welcomes PALM reforms BERRIES Australia welcomed the Australian government announcement of reforms to the current Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) to create a single streamlined program.

The two existing PALM initiatives - the Seasonal Worker Programme (SWP) and the Pacific Labour Scheme (PLS) - will be consolidated and operated under a single, improved PALM scheme.

It will commence in April 2022 and be managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

The scheme allows eligible Australian businesses to hire workers from nine Pacific islands and

Timor-Leste when there are not enough local workers available.

Through the PALM scheme, eligible businesses can recruit workers for seasonal jobs for up to nine months or for longer-term roles for between one and three years in unskilled, low-skilled and semi-skilled positions.

Berries Australia Executive Director Rachel Mackenzie said the industry particularly welcomes the streamlining of processes and improved capacity for workers to move more easily between farms to enable an efficient and effective workforce for the sector and maximise worker earnings.

“The industry continues to support strong worker

protections underpinned by an active compliance and assurance program,” she said.

“The Pacific Worker scheme has really shown its value to the sector during the pandemic and the funds workers have been able to send home have supported Pacific Nations devastated by a lack of tourists.

“The berry industry has relied heavily on these workers during the Pandemic and those growers who had already set themselves up to participate in the scheme were at a definite advantage,” Ms Mackenzie said.

Berries Australia commended the government for listening to industry and worker representatives to

implement reforms that benefit both parties.

Berries Australia is a joint venture between the Australian Blueberry

Dylan and Jaida Wigley, just 11 and 10 years of age respectively, have been performing at Kailey’s open mic nights for a couple of months and will be performing at Coffs Coast Carols this year.

Kailey’s ability to mentor them has brought them from the garage to the small stage.

Now they will take to the big stage for the first time ever.

“It’s been a tough couple of years for everyone so this is going to be special, we are looking forward to everyone of all ages ending the year on a high note.

“Musicians have really done it tough for nearly two years now with hundreds of cancelled shows, musicians love to perform so you’ll see a lot of energy on 11 December, that’s for sure,” added Kailey.

John Logan Entertainment, the talent agent for the event has paid tribute to this year’s band The Drive Ins who will be providing the backing for most performers.

Freedom of expression at Art Group’s double exhibition

q Sergio’s photo - Red Rock Scene for fellow artists to paint.

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Harbour Creative Arts Group (CHCAG) will have their last exhibition for 2021 at the Coffs Harbour Showground Gallery with two themes: Friday Social Painters and Sergio’s Challenge.

The exhibition officially opens on Sunday 5 December at 2pm, in conjunction with the CHCAG Christmas Party.

Throughout the year members are welcome to attend the Friday Social Painters sessions, to work in

whatever media they wish.

There is no tutor or formality – the Gallery is open from 9.30am to 3pm on the day, attendance at members’ discretion – although there is always someone there willing to help if there’s a case of ‘artist’s block’.

This freedom of expression has produced a diverse exhibition, without a particular theme, so expect acrylics, watercolours, pastels, and drawings, ranging from pets to portraits, landscapes, seascapes, and still life.

q Urunga Boardwalk photographed

by Sergio, to inspire the artists.

Sergio’s Challenge was initiated by group member and professional photographer, Sergio Spagnolo, when CHCAG was in its first lockdown to keep members involved in their craft.

One of Sergio’s photos was circulated to all members, to render in their medium of choice.

It was initially held as an online and Facebook exhibition and proved so popular it has not only continued for a 2021/2022

exhibition but there are now two photos: members can do one or both.

CHCAG President Sue Roberts told News Of The Area, “I am delighted with the membership, and the committee, for all their efforts throughout the past year in striving to make the gallery and studios a clean and cheery place, not only to create art but a welcoming place for our visitors.

“It hasn’t been an easy year for any of us and it’s great that we have found a way to continue with our art, alongside supporting each other and remaining in contact.

“I am looking forward to all the exhibitions coming up and admiring our members’ contributions.

“2022 will hopefully see a return to ‘normal’.

Term 1 classes will start

on 7 February.

The Friday Social Painters and Sergio’s Challenge exhibition runs until 2 February, followed by a Landscapes and Seascapes exhibition from 4 February to 23 March.

The Gallery is open Monday to Saturday 10 am to 2 pm, with free entry.

For more details, check the CHCAG website or Facebook page.

Alone on Christmas Day? Come to the Community Lunch

q Join others at this year’s Coffs Community Lunch on Christmas Day.

If you are at a loose end on Christmas Day, for whatever reason, head along to the Community Lunch in central Coffs and enjoy the company and chat over a meal.

By Andrea FERRARI

IF you are at a loose end on Christmas Day, for whatever reason, head along to the Community Lunch in central Coffs and enjoy the company and chat over a meal.

“If you’re lonely or maybe you have no friends locally, elderly, homeless or feeling like you need company on Christmas Day, come on down to the Coffs Harbour Community Christmas luncheon,” invites Doris Cowan, this year’s organiser of the previously-named Orphans Lunch.

The venue is Cavanbah Hall, 191 Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour, starting at 11.30am until 2.30pm, on Christmas Day, 25 December.

With local sponsors providing food, drinks and entertainment, the event relies on volunteers to set up, serve, tidy up afterwards and deliver leftover food to non-

profit facilities.

Co-founder with Robyn Milne back in 2007, Julie Ferguson, who also founded the Coffs Harbour chapter of OzHarvest, told News Of The Area, “I was very sad to hear that nobody was organizing the Orphan’s Christmas this year and then Doris said she would take it on.

“This makes me very happy, as it is an event that is in the hearts of the Coffs Harbour Community.

“Robyn Milne and I both came up with the idea at the same time and joined forces to start the Orphan’s Christmas all those years ago.”

In the past the Orphan’s/ Community Lunch has been described as “a wonderful kaleidoscope of people” which appeals to people aged naught to 100.

“We get people from right across the board, backpackers, new-to-towners, the frail and

aged, the homeless, disabled people - people can be alone at Christmas through all sorts of circumstances."

Businesses and community members have continued to show their support for this community event through donations and sponsorship.

Orphans Christmas is now under the banner of the newly formed not-forprofit association, Coffs Harbour Community Support Low Income Homeless and Recycling Project Inc. Bookings for the lunch are essential through Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre 02 6648 3694, email coordinator@chcc.com.au.

If you can volunteer your time setting up, serving and/or clearing away and distributing leftovers to various local service, please contact Doris Cowan on 0411428761 or via email at dmcowan01@gmail.com.

Gallery Turns Twenty

By Sandra MOON

COFFS Harbour Regional Gallery supporters came out in force to celebrate the start of the gallery twenty years ago in a tiny office space.

Programs Facilitator Toni Southwell was there when it started in 2001 having just returned from Sydney with an arts degree and became youth representative for the gallery.

“I was a youth representative on the working party when the council sought input from artists, art groups,

consultants and people across the community,” Toni says.

As the Gallery opened with one paid position only for a Gallery Director, Toni eventually moved away to secure work but is delighted now to have come full circle back to the gallery as Programs Facilitator.

She said, “A regional gallery bridges the gap for local artists who often struggle to find somewhere to exhibit.

“Over the years many local artists have had their work shown here and shared their stories or creative practice,” added Ms Southwell.

Friday, 3 December 2021

Acting Gallery Coordinator Lisa Knowlson reflected on the Gallery’s beginnings.

“Twenty years ago a group of passionate people working with the support of the council helped establish the regional gallery, and since the beginning it’s staged exciting exhibitions and creative events that bring our community together.”

There to support the gallery over the years with events and fundraising, has been volunteer group the Friends of Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery.

q Acting Gallery Coordinator Lisa Knowlson joins in the 20th birthday celebrations. Photo: Fire & Fly Media.

“It has become a special place for us all to connect with culture,” said Friends’ President Heather McKinnon.

“One of the most important achievements of the gallery over the years has been building the relationship with our Gumbaynggirr community.

“We’re proud to have played a part in the gallery’s progression, including sponsoring STILL and expanding the collection of still life art.”

The Friends have contributed works ranging from Archibald-winner Ben Quilty to convict artist William Beulow Gould c.1840,

www.newsofthearea.com.au

and this year will fund seven acquisitions from STILL including a work by Bidjara artist Michael Cook.

The gallery’s signature art prize since 2017, STILL: National Still Life Award has built on the previous success of EMSLA, first established in 2007.

The Gallery will next year end up in its new home the Yarrila Arts & Museum (YAM), opening late 2022.

Yarrila is the local Gumbaynggirr word for illuminate, brighten or illustrate.

Ms Southwell said she is looking forward to the larger, purpose-built gallery at YAM.

One of the first exhibitions in 2001 was Our Place: Images of Coffs Harbour & Regions, which brought together works depicting the region by local artists and well-known names like Dunghutti artist, Robert Campbell Jnr. Two decades later, works

by Gumbaynggirr artists will open YAM in a potential reinterpretation of this concept titled, Yaam Gumbaynggirr Jagun, here is Gumbaynggirr country.

operational Bathurst United church which has run this project over the winter months 2018 and 2019 but was closed by the pandemic.

With support services rallying to the pair’s requests for professional volunteers and supplies, the key requirement is premises.

“I have applied to CHCC for a night-time lease,” said Doris.

“All participants will be screened for drugs and alcohol on arrival as zero tolerance is a requirement of check in.”

The shelter will operate with the homeless checking into the shelter between 5pm and 8pm nightly where they are greeted by a supervisor for the night.

Salvos call for Christmas gift donations

By Andrea FERRARI

Newcastle Permanent’s Coffs Harbour Branch Manager Erica Farag has been involved in every Coffs toy drive since the branch opened 15 years ago and says the local community is always very generous with their donations.

“We have people who donate every year, even people who do not bank with the Newcastle Permanent,” Erica said.

She is encouraging people to also think of gifts for teenagers, especially boys, who can miss out on suitable gifts.

“We get lots of lovely gifts for little children, but gift cards or vouchers can be useful for older children,” she said.

Gifts should be new and unwrapped.

DONATIONS are urgently requested for Salvos annual Christmas Toy Drive Appeal run by The Salvation Army and Newcastle Permanent.

Coffs Harbour’s local Salvation Army pastor, Andrew van Gaalen, said with job and income losses due to COVID-19 he expects there will be more children who, without the help of the Salvos, won’t have a present

to open this year.

Andrew has been involved for three years and says he loves those moments when a parent gets to select a present, often crying with joy and relief.

“A surprise gift under the Christmas tree will bring a smile to a young person as well as to a parent or carer who is unable to afford gifts this year,” Major van Gaalen told News Of The Area.

“If you can, please

come and put a gift under the tree at the Newcastle Permanent’s Coffs Harbour branch.

“We’re very grateful for the support of Newcastle Permanent staff in collecting the gifts, and to those who volunteer to help us sort and distribute them too.”

He said, this year, there may be people who have not reached out to the Salvos or other support agencies for help before.

“It is the people who don’t come to see us for help that we worry about, so please get in touch.”

House of Blues Rocks for Eight Hours

By David WIGLEY EIGHT bands rocked for eight hours at the House of Blues festival of music last Saturday at the Hoey Moey.

After several postponements due to the pandemic, the event kicked off with Pam Hata who told News Of The Area it was good to be back after a hiatus.

“You can’t keep a good gig down, today the Hoey was a buzz with people, blues

enthusiasts and the smell of slow cooked barbie, with patrons making the trip from Port Macquarie to Yamba to sample the music and the vibe.

“Featuring artists like Kailey Pallas, Pam Hata, Dan Hopkins, Frank Sultana, The Propellers, The Burgers Bro’s, Cold Caller and Slim Pickens, the blues scene was represented by the coast over.

“It was so good to be back amongst friends in our craft

at the Hoey Moey for a long time and finally got to do it.

“It's a great venue, and it was a great event with lots of talented musos.

Sawtell RSL Christmas Food Drive

By Andrea FERRARI

SUPPORTING the ‘Soupy’ - Coffs Harbour Uniting Church’s Soup Place – is especially close to the hearts of Sawtell RSL’s charitable team this year with the region’s rise in homelessness.

Homelessness has a new face, and it’s not what you would think, according to Kate Drum, Marketing Manager of Sawtell RSL.

“With the growing housing crisis, we are seeing working homeless, whole families without homes, young homeless, more and more people doing it tough and reaching out for help from services such as the Uniting Church Soup Kitchen,” Kate told News Of The Area.

“For the last five years, Sawtell RSL Club has asked our community to contribute to the Christmas

Food Drive supporting the ‘Soupy’, and this year, they are needing our help more than ever.

“We are asking everyone in the community; when you are out buying your groceries in the lead up to Christmas, please put a few extra items in the trolley that we can add to the soup kitchen’s pantry so that they can continue to provide this valued community service,” said Kate.

q All aboard for the ‘Soupy’ run - Kate Drum, Marketing Manager of Sawtell RSL.

q Donated food ready to go – Sawtell RSL Christmas Food Drive.

The items will be used for not only preparing the daily meal service but also for the crisis packs the soup kitchen prepares for individuals or families who need something extra to take with them.

The Soup Kitchen is run entirely on donations and the blood sweat and tears of over 50 volunteers who design the menu, cook, serve, and clean up daily.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

“The annual food drive provides the soup kitchen with the ingredients they require to create nutritious, tasty meals for the local homeless who use the service, but they can always do with some extra support.”

It is hoped that the food donations received will relieve some pressure on the soup kitchen and assist them in being able to provide even more meals

and crisis packs to those who need this valuable service.

Sawtell RSL Club will be collecting donations on behalf of the Soup Kitchen until December 19.

All goods can be dropped at reception, inside the main door which backs onto the car park.

Bush Connect Boosts Biodiversity

By Andrea FERRARI

JALIIGIRR Biodiversity Alliance is celebrating six years of the NSW Environmental Trust funded Bush Connect program.

The ‘Jaliigirr Landscape Connections in the Great Eastern Ranges’ project has restored and protected twelve biodiversity conservation sites within identified priority areas of the Coffs-Bellinger-Dorrigo region.

The project has extended and improved the connectivity of our natural landscapes and added to the achievements of the Great Eastern Ranges program.

Justin Couper, Jaliigirr Project Manager, told News Of The Area, “The focus of on-ground works has been on ecological restoration with some areas of revegetation.

“Over six years 72 ha of bush regeneration has occurred in a 160 ha project area and 5,300 trees/

shrubs have been planted across 5.3 ha.

“Additionally, 15+ bush regenerators were employed each year of the project.

“These activities have been complemented with capacity building activities - to restore essential and viable habitats for forestdependent fauna.”

Works locations included Coffs Harbour and Districts’ Local Aboriginal Land Council repair to country priority sites and the Dorodong Corporation Indigenous Protected Area.

All projects sites are

connected to the World Heritage Area of the region through a mosaic of land tenures including private landholder communities, Junuy Juluum, Bindarri, Dorrigo National Parks, Tuckers Knob, Pine Creek and Orara East State Forests.

Jaliigirr Bush Connect project delivery partner Jason Page, a coordinator at Envite Environment said, “This program has given Envite Environment the opportunity to collaborate with Jaliigirr project partners, together with land managers, on improving

landscape connections in our region.

“By targeting key threatening processes such as weed invasions, biodiversity conservation work is all about protecting all organisms and species within their natural habitats with the aim of ensuring intragenerational and intergenerational equity.”

This project was funded for six years by the NSW Environmental Trust with further monitoring and maintenance by land managers and landholders over the next four years.

Mix-Tub Christmas show

By Andrea FERRARI

A COLLECTION of performances by Mix-Tub drama group is the Christmas showcase for friends, family and the community.

Mix-Tub is a group of young adults with disabilities proudly showcasing their performing talents.

Alan Green, President of Mix-Tub tells News Of The Area, “The concert is the culmination of a challenging year for these theatre enthusiasts who make up the Mix-Tub Theatre Inc. “They have attended classes on site and by Zoom, sung and performed with masks and without, adapted to many changes, and handled all this with unwavering commitment and joy.

“Mix-Tub Theatre was

born of a desire to encourage young people living with a disability to engage in community theatre.

“Each Tuesday they meet at the Wesleyan Methodist Church Hall in Bray Street from 2pm-4pm to participate in dancing, singing and drama.”

Mix-Tub Theatre aims to provide training and performance opportunities that are accessible, affordable and achievable in a safe and supportive environment where students are encouraged to develop their creative and expressive skills.

“The classes also provide a wonderful social activity for the participants and the benefits of their interrelationship with other students, support workers and volunteers, clearly shown

by the joy they express in their performance.”

The show will go on at 11.30am on Saturday 11 December at Wesleyan Methodist Church Hall.

“Families and friends will be treated to a magnificent Christmas showcase displaying all the skills these young adults have developed during the year.

“A special thank you goes to all the volunteers who have contributed to the advancement of the students during the year, and a big shout out to Trudy Jeffery of BLiTZ Drama for providing the final polish to the show.”

BELLINGEN Shire Council recently received grant funding from the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund for a project that takes a three-pronged approach to community recovery and resilience to create a ‘Ring of Resilience” around the Shire.

In the year following the 2019/2020 bushfires, community consultation through Shire-wide focus groups and a Community Resilience Deliberative Panel provided valuable information on what was missing and what is

needed to ensure effective preparation for future disasters.

Priorities for action were identified for Bellingen Shire’s resilience: place and preparedness, connection through communication and by supporting at risk community members and coordination for shared agendas, activities and outcomes.

“The work of the ‘Ring of Resilience: Place, Connection, Coordination’ project is to strengthen essential systems and

connections so that the Bellingen Shire is prepared, across our community, to withstand and to respond during and after disasters,” said Liz Jeremy, Bellingen Shire Council General Manager.

Funding is allocated across the three pillars of place, connection and coordination.

Place – includes the preparation of recovery centres in Dorrigo (Community Hall refurbishment), Bellingen (adaptation of Memorial

Hall project) and Urunga (ex RFS/Forestry building on the corner of Orara Street and Bowra Street refurbishment completion).

Secondly, it focuses on upgrading emergency operation centre facilities at Raleigh Depot.

Connection – work to ensure that connections between people, groups and access to information is prepared to serve well in times of disaster and in recovery.

This includes projects for Indigenous engagement, work with community places and spaces, the Neighbourhood Care Network, 2BBB community radio, Community Housing and towards Council communications systems.

Mr Clerici started studying the cello at the age of five.

He received several international prizes at a young age and made his debut

as a soloist at the age of 17 in Japan.

Mr Clerici has since played with an array of renowned orchestras internationally and has performed as soloist at the Carnegie Hall in New York, in Vienna, in St

His festival appearances have included the Musica Viva Festival, Adelaide Festival, Huntington Estate Music Festival and the Australian Festival of Chamber Music.

Mr de Borah lives in Brisbane where he serves on the faculty of the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University.

Mr Clerici and Mr de Borah will play works by Frédéric Chopin and Felix Mendelssohn, who were born and died within two years of each other.

According to Liz Jamison, the President of the Music Society, this is only the second concert this year because of COVID-19.

She said, “It has been very difficult for professional musicians because they work across a number of states so border closures have had an enormous impact.

“We are very excited to host two such famous musicians who engage their audiences,” she said.

Conveyancing dispute and claim for default interest

ROBERT’S mother passes away and he is appointed as the executor.

Robert asks a conveyancer to drawup a contract for the sale of his late mother’s home.

The contract includes a clause to the effect that settlement is to occur either 30 days after the exchange of contracts or 14 days after Robert obtains a grant of probate and becomes the registered proprietor for the purposes of the sale, whichever occurs later.

Michael wishes to purchase the property and after obtaining pest and building reports, pays a 10% deposit of $80,000 and contracts are exchanged.

Robert obtains a grant of probate and he is registered on title.

Michael is advised accordingly and Robert’s conveyancer nominates a date for settlement, being 30 days after the date of exchange.

An error is made in the calculation of the settlement date because the 30 day period was before the 14 day period expired.

Due to problems with his finance, Michael is not ready to settle the matter on the nominated date.

Robert serves a Notice to Complete on Michael, nominating a further date for settlement and claiming default interest in accordance with the contract.

Michael disputes the payment of interest and again refuses to complete the sale.

Robert terminates the contract and seeks to retain Michael’s deposit.

Michael argues that Robert was not willing to complete the matter, due to an incorrect assumption regarding the payment of default interest and on the basis of Robert’s “repudiation”, Michael is entitled to terminate the contract, have his deposit refunded and sue for any damages he had suffered.

The matter proceeds to a hearing and the Court concludes that despite the miscalculation of default interest, Robert was “ready and willing” to complete the sale and rules in his favour allowing him to keep the deposit and obtain additional damages for a reduction of the price of the property on resale.

DEAR News Of The Area, A STORY on page 5 of last weeks NOTA asked candidates to answer three questions from the Coffs Coast Housing Partnership Group.

As a Mayoral candidate, I am happy to make comment.

The questions were: 1. What do you think are the main drivers for homelessness in the area and how should Council and local Government address these?

2. What actions would you take to improve housing accessibility and

Petrol Price Rip-Off DEAR News Of The Area,

ANYONE who has observed fuel prices in the Coffs Harbour region over the past ten or more years will not be surprised there is very little competition amongst the thirteen petrol stations.

Prices rise almost immediately when oil prices rise but most are very reluctant to drop them when they fall. Independent

retailers are always the lowest and the stark difference can currently be observed where the Liberty service station at Bonville is offering unleaded 91 fuel at 161.9 cents per litre some 8 to 10 cents lower that all the major players like BP and Caltex in town, and unleaded 95 fuel is 11 to 12 cents cheaper.

Amazingly the two other Liberty stations in town that

Dear Laurie,

obviously get the same fuel as Bonville are also 8 cents per litre more expensive.

Local motorists are constantly being ripped off by these fuel retailers and while the word ‘cartel’ might be a little harsh there is obviously no appetite by these retailers for any form of competition.

Regards, Trevor QUICK, Bonville.

Make the vaccine compulsory DEAR News Of The Area,

IT is fairly well accepted that the number one way to prevent Covid-19 spread is for everyone to be sufficiently vaccinated against the virus.

At present this means double vaccination.

The problem is getting complete vaccination closer

to 100% of the population.

The answer of course is to make vaccination compulsory by law.

This proposed legislation (national not state by state) should apply to everyone except for medical reasons.

I.e you must have written proof from your GP or other medical source that you are

Housing crisis questions affordability in the region?

3. Other Councils facing similar housing crises have successfully implemented a dedicated position to support people who are sleeping rough (a Public Space Liaison Officer). If elected, would you commit to funding and implementing this in Coffs Harbour?

Question 1: The main drivers for homelessness on the Coffs Coast seems to be long term disadvantage.

A 2014 NSW parliamentary inquiry into child disadvantage found then that nearly 22% of children on the Mid North Coast faced living in poverty.

We could also say that 22% of families live on or

below the breadline.

Since the Covid pandemic began, this number, along with other economic drivers, are faring worse for families according to NSW Council of Social Service.

Question 2: If elected to council, I would as soon as possible call for a homelessness plan to be implemented.

This plan would aim to strategically guide council decisions on supporting people facing homelessness, implement emergency shelter and safe house provisions and reduce stigma affecting people facing homelessness.

The Greens believe housing should be for all yet

This new law of course means that nobody is exempt from vaccinations for any other reason such as political or religious.

Okay Federal Government - pass this new law ASAP so that we can get back to a normal life.

Regards, Lindsay MOULDEN, Coffs Harbour. today people face decadelong waits for access to affordable housing.

It’s time to think differently.

Question 3: I'm happy to support the call for a Public Space Liaison Officer.

It would fit with the goals of the homelessness plan by making all decisions regarding homelessness and public space central to business operations.

This will help create accountability within Council including relevant stakeholders on organisational decisions.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

IT seems that people fall broadly into two camps at Christmas time.

There are the Christmas zealots who post daily updates of their Elf on a Shelf, have all presents wrapped and under the tree by mid-November, annoy their neighbours with their glowing reindeers and epilepsy-inducing lights, and spend hours decorating their festive faux-snow tree covered with enough plastic to choke a bale of turtles (if nothing else, I have now discovered the collective noun for turtles, so this query has been worthwhile).

Then there are those who cut a branch from the most Christmasylooking tree in their yard and plonk it in a bucket of water, make a batch of rumballs, do a last-minute shop that they abandon due to whinging kids, and watch Love Actually so they can cry over the blatant sexism and misogyny, yet still enjoy Hugh Grant's goofy dance moves.

I possibly don't need to clarify which of the two groups I fall into, Laurie.

And I think you do too.

Perhaps this year you could consider a themed Christmas to get you in the mood.

You could, for example, go for a plastic-free Christmas and adorn your tree with dried orange segments, cinnamon sticks and pinecones.

Or maybe a pandemic-themed Christmas with a tree decorated with hand-made coronavirus balls, Deltablue tinsel, and a tinfoil hat instead of a star.

I really think, whatever you do, make it a special day for you, Laurie, and try not to be weighed down by expectation.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Regards, Jonathan CASSELL, Coffs Harbour Greens Convener.

OPINION & LETTERS

Election Day a ray of hope WITH Covid, spiralling debt, climate change, and the China issue; interesting times is an understatement.

But locally D Day is 4 December, when the residents of this shire will vote to elect a new council.

Hopefully we elect a group representing a cross section of the community.

A group who are nonpolitical, possess some real life experience, local knowledge, practicality, and will listen to and pursue the interests of all sectors.

The lopsided bureaucratic rot engulfing

our beautiful shire must be addressed.

They must be strong and not become mere rubber stamps for their administrative employees, yes their employees, who are there to advise and administrate, but not dictate policy.

Our elected reps have the final say on all matters.

Once an open shop, it is now closed with employees forbidden to discuss any council matters out of school.

My memory is slipping but I can still recall a

Council which achieved so much with so little, with just a handful in admin, and a proud and skilled outdoor staff.

Even Waterfall Way was maintained and serviced by Council.

No contractors, everything was done from within.

There is no better example than the Valley Rose Estate.

Council purchased the farm and did the whole development, even batching their own concrete.

It is inconceivable today to imagine Council performing such a task.

With a 20% recent rate hike for sealing rural roads, and millions in grants for bridges, both are worse than ever.

We received those huge grants for the bushfires and recent disastrous floods, when apart from the Upper Kalang, which in March was impacted by a deluge, we missed the fires and haven't had a major flood for years.

Yet how distressing it was to read in Council

news the announcement of a grant for $350,000 just to assess the flood damage for last March. It's not my money so who cares.

Local Governments' role has always been and should be to provide essential services, roads, bridges and public facilities etc.

It is not to be the nappy changer for that vocal minority screaming “help me, help me”.

Officers for wellbeing and resilience are just some of a growing list of officers and supervisors.

There is little regard for local jobs with so much work contracted out to nonlocal residents.

Apart from the Greens and Labor there appears to be three non-political independent groups formed from Dorrigo, Bellingen and Urunga, each supporting the same person for Mayor.

There are some very highly regarded long term residents with their hands up, and if enough of us put self interest and politics aside and vote for the whole Shire there could be a change for the better.

Always the optimist.

Regards, Darcey BROWNING, Bellingen Shire.

Ice cream and elections Thank you for returning my wallet!

DEAR News Of The Area,

I TEACH my grandkids about preferential voting by telling them about a family of ten who can only buy one tub of flavoured ice cream.

Three in the family want liquorice ice cream, one likes strawberry, two like vanilla, two like chocolate and two

like caramel.

Seven in the family hate liquorice ice cream but if you only put a ‘1’ beside your favourite you’ll end up having to eat it cause that got the most votes.

If you put your second, third and fourth preference down, a compromise is reached that everyone can

live with.

If, in the Council election, voters just put a ‘1’ beside their choice, we’ll end up eating liquorice ice cream for the next four years.

Regards, Peter LEWIS, Coffs Harbour.

DEAR News Of The Area, I LOST my wallet recently.

THE Shirazi family held a charity fun run to celebrate their children's birthdays where guests were invited to make a donation instead of buying presents.

Over 100 people attended Mona’s seventh and Alex’s fourth birthday party raising over $800 for a ‘Back to School’ project for children in need.

It means some less fortunate children will be starting the 2022 school year with new equipment such as backpacks, pens, pencils, calculators and so on.

Mona and Alex’s father Shahab Shirazi explained more about the birthday fundraisers.

“We have been doing fundraisers for the last few

might start a new school year with.

“We’ve had great support from the parents and the kids

younger generation to get involved at all levels,” Mrs Ward said.

“I encourage NSW sporting organisations and individuals to nominate an outstanding coach, official, administrator or leader who has made a significant contribution to sport becoming more inclusive and appealing for women and girls.”

Many individuals, clubs and organisations are striving to give women and girls more opportunities and

equal access to participate in their sport.

The NSW Government wants to recognise those people and highlight the important work they are doing.

The Her Sport Her Way Year Three Action Plan covers fifteen key areas, including removing barriers and advancing women leaders through strategic partnerships.

Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said it is important for young girls to

see female representation in sport across the board.

“Whether it’s on the field or in the boardroom, having female role models in sport empowers young girls to see themselves in those same roles,” Mrs Taylor said.

In recognising the amazing women participating in sports other girls and women can see it and be it and say ‘I can do that too’.

Other key actions in the Year Three Action Plan include funding to address

“We first had the idea in 2018 and raised over $400 for a women's refuge, everyone enjoyed it and the proceeds went to a great cause so we did it again the following year.

Disney’s Moana Junior To Hit the Stage in January 2022

By David WIGLEY

SIXTEEN theatrical productions of Disney’s Moana Junior will hit the stage from 13 to 23 January 2022 at the Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium.

The Naidu Theatre Co. invited local singers, dancers, musicians and actors to audition for roles based on the iconic movie and were overwhelmed with the response after receiving several hundred audition applications.

The casting panel were left with the daunting task of selecting a shortlist for second auditions which were held over a two hour period at the Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium.

Once the final cast

was set, intense practice started immediately at the Woolgoolga Performing Arts Studio to prepare for the sixteen show extravaganza.

Director at the Naidu Theatre Co., Jade Naidu, said the casting crew were blown away with the quality of local talent.

“The response was overwhelming, we received several hundred auditions which we worked through meticulously. ”There is so much talent on the Coffs Coast, we were blown away by the quality of the local performers and it took a long time to decide who to invite for a second audition.

“We held the second auditions at the Coffs

Woolgoolga Red Cross farewells Trauma Teddy maker Jane

MORE than 2500 Red Cross Trauma Teddies have been filled and sewn together by Jane Skinner over a 40-year contribution of stuffing and stitching the little comforters.

Jane, described by her friends at Woolgoolga Red Cross as “a wonderful Red Cross supporter” is moving back to her homeland of Scotland.

Members and friends of Jane bade her farewell as she headed home after living in Australia for four decades.

Calling Woolgoolga her home for much of that time, she has made a huge contribution locally, supporting distressed young children – and often their parents - by joining the production line of volunteers who knit the Trauma Teddy ‘skins’.

Unanimously and good-

heartedly declared the most tedious part of the process, Jane has had the role of finalising the process and completing the gorgeous, colourful and comforting

teddies.

The Trauma Teddies are delivered to places and organisations such as Ambulance Stations, Police Stations, Hospitals, Doctors’

on keeping residents safe from COVID-19, water pollution, fires and road blackspots; turning the Shire’s economic fortunes around by focussing on job creation, helping small businesses and farmers and restoring visitation; preparing for the future in critical issues like housing, climate change, fire prevention and clean energy; protecting the Shire’s lifestyle, nature, culture, arts and Indigenous heritage; and reconnecting council with the community and making it responsive and people-friendly.

The Labor Team has issued a 12-point plan to deliver on its commitments, and says all but one of it’s election commitments requires funding assistance from the State or Federal Government.

Branch Patron, Robyn Rooth told News Of The Area, “Jane’s talents and commitment will be missed.

“Dear Jane, thank you from the Australian Red Cross.”

“With a majority, we will take the shackles off the council staff to deliver for our community.

“Consultation, communication, transparency and action will be the hallmarks of a council with a Labor majority; with a Labor majority on the council, you, your business and your community will be better off.”

Councillor Andrew Woodward said.

“It is not the place it was five years ago when the Independents and Greens took over the council.

“We’ve gone backwards in jobs, economic performance, revenue from visitors and opportunities for our youth; we can’t risk another term of Independents and Greens.”

Mr Woodward said the Labor team is experienced, qualified, prepared and ready to implement a positive plan of change and progress, should it achieve a majority.

TAFE NSW Mandates Employee Vaccines

By Sandra MOON WHEN TAFE NSW staff return from summer holidays next year they are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

TAFE NSW Managing Director Steffen Faurby emailed staff last week advising that by 31 January 2022, they needed to be double vaccinated against COVID-19 or have a medical exemption.

The COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for Workers Policy is a mandatory policy.

Double vaccinations will be required not only for all teaching employees but for non-teaching employees, workers and contractors.

A TAFE NSW spokeswoman said, “COVID-19 vaccination, or a valid medical

exemption, will become a condition of employment to work for TAFE NSW from 31 January 2022.”

The spokeswoman told News Of The Area the move comes after a consultation process with employees, unions, health and safety experts, government agencies and legal practitioners and is in line with other Government agencies.

“TAFE NSW’s Work Health and Safety consultation found that the overwhelming majority of employees favoured implementing a policy requiring all employees to be vaccinated for COVID-19.

“TAFE NSW has a duty to provide a safe workplace for its employees as far as reasonably practicable, and requiring employees to be vaccinated is one way to protect employees from the risk of

consideration of the feedback you provided as part of the WHS consultation with employees and unions.”

The communication explained that the policy did not extend to students however TAFE NSW are confident that the majority of their students will be vaccinated based on data that suggest more than 90 percent people sixteen years of age and over have been fully vaccinated.

transmission and severity of the COVID-19 disease,” the spokeswoman said.

In the communication to staff, Mr Furby explained the reason for implementing a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination.

“The decision to implement the policy is based on the advice of Health and Safety experts, legal practitioners, government agencies, as well as

Local eco builder wins Affordable Housing award q Eco Dynamic Building in Coffs Harbour: Luke McKay (centre) with Darren Page (left) and Joshua Vincent.

By Andrea FERRARI ECO Dynamic Building in Coffs Harbour has won the Housing Industry Association’s Northern NSW Affordable Housing Award.

“This is a category that is very close to our values,” said Luke McKay, founder/ proprietor of Eco Dynamic Building.

“We strongly believe that a house doesn’t need to be huge to make a comfortable family home.

“We live in a society where we have been trained to buy as big and as much as we can afford, but the bigger the home, the more effort, cost and time it takes

to maintain it.”

The architect on the Affordable Housing win project was Coffs Harbour based Frank Scahill.

The award recognises excellence in the construction and design of a single home or a housing development incorporating cost effective design features to deliver a highquality housing product at an affordable market price including for social or affordable rental housing.

“From the very beginning of our jobs, we try to steer our clients in the direction of more efficient designs that can drastically reduce the home’s impact

and make use of its available surroundings – the sun and wind patterns, available natural shade, slopes, nearby ridges and mountains and anything else unique about the surrounds that could positively contribute to the home’s performance,” Luke told News Of The Area.

“In conjunction with this, on all our projects, big or small, we pay special attention to what materials we are using in the hopes of reducing our impact on the environment and making our homes more efficient to run.

“The goal for us is houses that use less energy, take less to heat, less to cool and

won’t need parts replaced or fixed as much over time.”

Re-using materials, precisely measuring and cutting to avoid waste and a strict waste disposal policy are the foundations of the business’ ethics, saving what they can and

properly recycling all building materials that can be repurposed.

The HIA Award looks for balancing costs and the environmental impact.

Luke said, “A paper cup is a lot cheaper than a ceramic one - our homes

or indirect experience with mental health and how it linked to this year’s theme of 'Tuning In'.

‘Tuning In’ means being present and aware: of yourself, of others, of your

community and of stigma around mental illness.

There were three categories of entries with one winner in each category (Adult 18+, Primary: 5-12yrs and Secondary:1318yrs).

Entries were judged on originality and creativity

in the interpretation of the theme ‘Tuning In’, the link between picture and words and the clarity of the message.

There were many wonderful and varied entries which all shed a light on mental health from different perspectives.

Congratulations to Ruby Dowling (Primary) who won a $50 Shop Local gift card, Tara Reed (Secondary) who won a $100 Shop Local Gift card and Catherine (Adult) who won a $200 Shop Local Gift card to spend in Bellingen Shire.

are the ceramic cups – they cost a little more to create, but the long-term benefits to the environment, the climate and the client’s maintenance makes the initial outlay worth it.

“Overall, we feel that people are often building too big.

“If the minimalist movement of recent years has taught us anything it is that there is an incredible lightness to be achieved by shedding our worldly possessions and living with what we need, not what we are made to believe we need.

“It can lead to so much clarity around what we enjoy, what makes us happy, what we need and what we can do without,” he said.

at all Bellingen Shire Library branches (Bellingen, Urunga and Dorrigo) throughout the month of December.

Members of the community will be able to vote for the People’s Choice Award until close of business on 24 December 2021 using a ballot system.

The People’s Choice winner will be notified in January and will receive a $50 Shop Local Gift card.

The penultimate episode of season two of this piercing political drama unfurls tonight, bolstered by excellent performances from its stars Deborah Mailman, Rachel Griffiths and William McInnes. At a short and sharp six episodes long, its perhaps enough time for viewers to marinate in the absurdity and selfishness of politics; one can easily imagine certain scenes playing out across the country as political leaders hustle to keep their jobs.

This week, the identity of Alex’s (Mailman, right) troll is finally uncovered, and he’s someone she knows.

Meanwhile, Alex and Rachel (Griffiths) band together to ultimately decide who will be the next PM.

Can a longrunning series be the same when an integral character takes a backseat? This is what fans are wondering as season 19 of the police procedural premieres tonight.

In perhaps a merciful move, the show’s writers appeared to kill off Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon, above) via a massive boat explosion in last season’s finale, planting the seed that the central protagonist’s days were numbered after 18 years. Tonight, in “Blood in the Water”, the team searches for Gibbs after discovering the wreckage of his boat, and find out he was tracking a killer.

THE WORLD’S GREATEST HOTELS

When it comes to expensive hotels that slap you in the face with that wow factor, Las Vegas has it covered. Of all the travel destinations in the world, the high-roller gambling mecca has the razzle dazzle and high-end hotel design to attract all sorts of travellers.

In this aspirational series, which has so far explored Paris’ beautiful George V and the swanky Claridge’s in London, money is almost no object – unless you are counting. Tonight, lucky presenters Simon Calder and Caroline Frost explore Las Vegas’ Bellagio, an opulent hotel inspired by the villages of Europe.

“The judges had a difficult time finding the overall grand champion of the Woolgoolga Art prize, but decided on the portrait of a woman looking out a window by Merryl Neylon,” said Sherilyn.

“Judges commented that the painting was reminiscent of how many people are longing to get back to a normal life after COVID. “The painting is thoughtful and powerful.

“It was thrilling to see the reaction of the winners showing their emotion and

Carolyn thanked the volunteers for their hard work for making the exhibition a success.

Northern Districts Rebels finish with a draw

By Aiden BURGESS

THE Northern Districts Rebels have finished with a draw after the second day off their match against Harwood, during the second round of the latest North Coast Cricket Council’s Premier League season.

Chasing 298 for outright

points, the Rebels resumed on Day 2 at 0/15 and finished the day's play at Harwood Oval on 8/184 from 73 overs, earning them a draw.

Rebels captain Taj Dosanjh produced a solid knock top scoring for his side with 41, while Simon Donald was next best with

31 and Lachlan Carlyle finished on 29 not out.

Matthew Young took 2/28 from his 13 overs for Harwood, while Matthew Farrell backed up his top knock of 82 with the bat to take 2/11 from his 6 overs.

The third round of the Premier League season is scheduled to be played next

weekend with the opening day of two day matches in Sawtell and Woolgoolga.

Sawtell play host to Harwood at Richardson Park in a replay of the 2019 grand final, while the Northern Districts Rebels host Valleys Cricket in Woolgoolga in a rematch of last season’s preliminary

final.

Sawtell are yet to play a two-day match this season having had the opening round bye then a washout, while Harwood are still to open their winning account this season after an opening round loss to Valleys Cricket and a draw with Rebels.

The Rebels are the

early ladder ladders with a win and a draw, and play the second placed Valleys Cricket who won their only game.

Last round's scheduled match between Sawtell and Coffs Colts at Richardson Park was washed out, and the Colts have the bye in Round 3.

with those who fall outside the ages of the Youth Girls Under 14 competition to be directed to alternatives.

Sessions will be held for the Sawtell/Toormina Saints on Tuesday, 7 December at 4.45pm at Richardson Park, and for the Coffs Harbour Breakers on Wednesday, 8 December at 4.30pm at Jetty Oval.

The addition of the Youth Girls Under 14 competition comes after the success of the AFL North Coast’s initial Youth Girls competition which was introduced in

2017, and the women’s competition which was started in 2018.

Northern NSW Development Lead, Matt Crawley, said the response to female footy in the region had been overwhelming.

"Girls are flocking to footy across the region, many want to play in girls only competitions, which is completely understandable, so we know that starting this Under 14 age group will see the next wave of new participants into the sport,” he said.

"At the elite level, the AFLW competition will get underway in January and, with a significant proportion

of matches being broadcast on free to air TV, we know that this will help generate more interest.

“Local girls will see the athleticism of the elite players and will realise that their existing skill set from other sports will be readily transferable to footy.

"Add to that the chance to be involved in a sport that requires more physical contact and the girls will be hooked.”

AFL North Coast to introduce Youth Girls Under 14s

By Aiden BURGESS WITH female football going from strength to strength in 2021, AFL North Coast is introducing a Youth Girls Under 14 age group in 2022 to accommodate growing demand for this second age group.

The Youth Girls under 14 age group will be added to the existing Youth Girls Under 17 competition, which will help strengthen the pathway for female players from Auskick to Under 17s through to the women’s

competition.

To help clubs recruit additional players for this second age group, the AFL Game Development team will be running a series of female only Come & Try sessions in conjunction with the clubs.

The sessions will be run by female AFL NSW/ ACT Development Officers together with female club representatives and will include skill development as well as game play.

These sessions are open to all girls aged 16 and under,

LAST weekend’s long-awaited return of Sprintcars to Hessions Auto Parts Grafton Speedway has had to wait two weeks, postponed due to the recent wet weather.

The second event of the 2021/22 racing season will now be held on Saturday, 11 December, with the 410 Sprintcars set to be the feature event of the night's racing.

For the first time in over a decade the 900 horsepower Sprintcars are set to return to Grafton Speedway as drivers from across NSW put pedal to the medal in pursuit of the chequered flag.

A dozen drivers from across NSW are set to compete in the feature event, with the Sprintcars format to feature qualifying time trials, two

rounds of 10-lap heat races and a 30-lap feature race.

Unfortunately, due to illness, local Sprintcar racer Jai Stephenson who last season had a few practice runs around Grafton Speedway that was very well received by the crowd, is unable to take part in the return of Sprintcars to Grafton Speedway.

In addition to the return of the 900 horsepower Sprint Cars to Grafton Speedway, the night’s racing will also include the support classes including RSA Street Stockers, Production Sedans, AMCA Nationals, and RSA Junior Sedans.

The Modified Sedans State Title which was meant to be up for grabs on 11 December will now be held on a later date.

Grafton Speedway will also be holding its Christmas Cup event on Tuesday, 28 December.

Tyler Calder raced well over the weekend and was unlucky not to make the semi finals in both his Cruiser and 20 inch and came home with a 4th place plate for the State Series in the 13–14-year boys cruiser division.

These five riders are a credit to their club and the future of the Club looks bright with them leading the way.

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.

By David WIGLEY

With the match all square at two games all, Birch won the fifth 11-9 in a thrilling five setter as coach Peter Saxby explained.
