$2 Million Floodplain Grants for Council North Boambee Valley Detention Basin ($1,802,668) plus significantly smaller grants for a Moonee Creek Flood Study Review ($60,000) and a planned upgrade to the Coffs Harbour City Council Flash Flood Warning System ($50,000).

The Boambee plan, which will not completely alleviate flood risk, will reduce flood damages in the future and improve accessibility during flood events to and from the hospital while the Moonee Creek study review aims to “better understand flood behaviour in the catchment” through detailed flood modelling and mapping.

Coffs Harbour Mayor Paul Amos said, “Reducing the flood risk to homes,

businesses and key facilities like the hospital has been a long-term focus for Coffs Harbour City Council and this latest round of grants will help us continue that work in south Coffs and at Moonee.

“The detention basins that serve Coffs Creek have been shown to reduce flooding by 200mm-400mm around the city centre and the modelling done for the North Boambee Valley Detention Basin reveals similarly positive results for the North Isles Drive, Hospital and Cook Drive industrial areas,” Mr Amos said.

“The Flood Warning system has also proved to be extremely valuable to the SES and Council during storms and this upgrade – which includes an opt-in service for residents – will make it even more effective.”

First Nations curators with connections to Gumbaynggirr country or currently living on Gumbaynggirr country are strongly encouraged to apply, a council spokesperson said.

The current working title ‘Yaam Gumbaynggirr Jagun: Here is Gumbaynggirr Country’ was conceived as a re-interpretation of ‘Our Place: Images of Coffs Harbour & Regions’ - one of the first exhibitions to open the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery in 2001.

Following consultation with the Gumbaynggirr community over the last few years this exhibition and other yetto-be-announced foundation elements will ensure Gumbaynggirr cultural representation is woven into the fabric of the new Yarrila Place community building.

“This will be a landmark exhibition, one of two major opening art exhibitions in Yarrila Arts and Museum,” said Acting Service Leader, Museum and Gallery, Jane Kreis.

“The resulting commissioned artworks will be acquired and become an important part of the permanent collection,” she said.

The successful candidate will be supported through an engagement framework, with the direct support of Indigenous and non-Indigenous members consisting of a Coffs Harbour City Council Aboriginal Community Planner, who will connect the First Nations Curator to the Yandaarra Aboriginal Advisory Committee and enable ongoing consultation and oversight; the Museum and Gallery Curator, who will be a key project collaborator; and External First Nations cultural sector professionals for additional cultural and creative feedback.

The closing date for submitting expressions of interest is Wednesday 13 April 2022.

Council Rejects “Creative” Use Of Sporting Facility Upgrade Millions

By Paul FOGARTY

COFFS Harbour Council last week voted to proceed with the proposed upgrade of Sportz Central facility based on a $7.4 million design, cost estimate and proposed additional works.

However, calls to expand the facility’s use to help the community’s most vulnerable fell on deaf ears.

The Council will seek an additional $1.1 million in funding from the MultiSport Community Facility Fund to deliver the project but rejected an amendment forwarded by Councillor Jonathan Cassell, seconded by Councillor Tony Judge, to use the upgraded facility “to benefit the entire community” not just as a sporting complex but as providing a “real social benefit” to vulnerable members of the Coffs community.

Councillor Cassell asked Council “to investigate the option that we expand on the facility’s use and that we see Sports central to become... a shelter for people in our community experiencing homelessness and also

in times of crisis through crisis accommodation.

“It’s important that as councillors we are facing up to the issues in our community and we know that affordable housing and homelessness is a massive issue.

“It’s one of the defining issues of our time and it’s really important that we as councillors are seen to be doing everything we can to make sure that we are not turning away the community unnecessarily,” Mr Cassell said.

“We’ve got a large public facility here that could potentially house people, if you are a female and you would like to have secure shelter, anytime that you can roll out your mat and know that you have secure shelter would be a good time.

“I can’t imagine that people in the community in all honesty would reject or turn away women and children who may need safe housing or at least safe shelter,” Councillor Cassell told the Chamber.

“This isn’t about putting people up and allowing

them to stay for days, this is about allowing people an overnight rest and then they move on the next day.

“Our facilities in our community are only being used by one user group or sector of the community.”

Councillor Cassell implored the Council to think “creatively about ways to use these multi-million dollar facilities that have toilets, that have showers, that already have the preexisting (facilities) to help people feel they can escape extreme weather events”.

Councillor Judge seconded the amendment motion telling the Chamber that the number of homeless people in Coffs Harbour had grown by 160 in the past year.

“The scale is bad enough but the human aspect is just terrible,” Mr Judge said.

He then referred to a news story in the Daily Telegraph about a local woman who was homeless and “lived in constant fear”, sheltering on the verandah at Pete’s Place community centre in downtown Coffs Harbour.

“If we have the

Increased Funding Plea For Sexual Violence Helpline

By Paul FOGARTY

FULL Stop Australia - formerly Rape and Domestic Violence Services Australia last week launched a campaign calling for “adequate and ongoing funding” to support NSW sexual violence survivors in NSW. The organisation claims two-thirds of callers to the NSW Sexual Violence Helpline are unanswered due to staff and resource shortages.

“Currently one in three people who call the NSW Sexual Violence Helpline can’t get through because of lack of funding,” said a spokesperson for Full Stop Australia.

While reporting of sexual violence in NSW has increased by more than 80 percent over the past decade funding for the NSW Sexual Violence Helpline has remained static, according to Full Stop Australia.

According to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research reports of sexual

violence in the Coffs Harbour-Grafton region increased by 65 percent in the year up to March 2021.

Full Stop Australia has called on the NSW Government to invest an additional $1.4 million in the 2022/2023 budget to ensure the Helpline can answer every call.

Chief Executive of Full Stop Australia Hayley Foster said if the campaign’s goals are met “everyone affected by sexual violence (could) receive the support they need when they need it”.

“It is not OK that when someone affected by sexual violence calls the NSW Sexual Violence Helpline in a time of need they get a voicemail,” she said.

“This is devastating for a victim-survivor of sexual violence.”

The Helpline “is not a luxury”, she said.

“It is an essential service. We are calling on the NSW Government to adequately fund the NSW Sexual Violence Helpline in the 2022

Budget.”

Full Stop Australia says $923,701 in additional core annual funding is needed to cover operational costs of the Helpline on top of an additional $469,679 as a one-off funding allocation to improve access to sexual violence services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, culturally and linguistically diverse people, LGPTIQA+ communities, people with disabilities and children and young people.

Full Stop Australia has established an online campaign allowing supp-

policy on homelessness.

But, he said, “We’re starting to formulate a policy position on homelessness.

“We’ve got a briefing targeted with the elected council coming up next month around not only homelessness but also affordable housing and social housing and

what Council’s role may or may not be in that space,” said Mr Chapman.

“So obviously as everyone’s acutely aware it’s a significant issue in the community,” he said.

“Council has no policy at the moment on homelessness so obviously we’re starting to formulate a policy position which council can consider, this is obviously getting a bit further down the stream, obviously we’ve

Council To Formulate Policy On Homelessness

AT last week’s Coffs Harbour City Council meeting Council’s Acting General Manager Chris Chapman told the new Council that while homelessness was a significant issue in the community, Coffs Council itself had no

got no expertise in providing homelessness services in a formal sense but certainly the policy framework is being prepared and Council will have a discussion about that in the coming weeks,” Mr Chapman said.

The issue was raised in conjunction with an amendment to a motion to proceed with the upgrade of Sportz Central in which Councillors debated whether the facility could be dual-purposed to help address the worsening homelessness and emergency accommodation situation for vulnerable members of the local community.

Located in the City Centre, Park Avenue and Moonee Street are currently not functioning for the people.

With a dominance of cars and lack of space and poor design for people, this is causing an effect on how the street functions which can been seen by the absence of kerb side activity, and an overall lack of visual appeal.

This project presents a unique opportunity to re-imagine the streetscapes in a holistic and coordinated manner. It explores the inclusion of attractive new community spaces and integrates cycling and pedestrian as safe and convenient and recognises these actions as essential components of a functioning streetscape.

These key changes will provide a catalyst for much-needed urban renewal of the Coffs Harbour City Centre and align with the future Coffs Harbour Place and Movement Strategy (estimated to be open for public consultation end of April 2022) that encapsulates the NSW Movement and Place Framework and how it will apply and work within our region.

and Fire Practitioners urge local private landholders to get involved in our Gumbaynggirr-led planning and implementation of cultural fire methods.

“For this CHDLALC welcomes the opportunity to work with local landowners to assess their properties and implement cultural burning in the Coffs Harbour LGA and the Lower Bellinger catchments.”

Land stakeholders, NPWS, Forestry NSW, LLS, CHCC and RFS, have all expressed their support in the project, seeing it as an initiative to enhance resources and capacities of emergency fire management response led by Indigenous Ranger Teams in the Bellingen and Coffs Coast regions.

“Most cultural burn projects and other burn projects require an authorised Hazard Burn Certificate

Aboriginal Land Council can purchase fire management assets for our new Fire Depot at Raleigh to maintain fire trails and respond to fires and increase our cultural burning capacity,” Matthew Smith, Programs Coordinator, CHDLALC, told News Of The Area.

CHDLALC will perform on-ground fire management activities such as Fire Trail Maintenance and Mitigation work using traditional Aboriginal fire methods to protect the built environment and run an emergency fire response training series out of the Raleigh Fire Depot to help reduce the severity of fire disasters for the region.

For that they need access to privately owned land as well as public land.

“CHDLALC Ranger Teams

issued by a fire authority such as RFS; this can take time during assessment and approval stage.

“If you have a burn project in mind, I advise you to contact CHDLALC Aboriginal Ranger Teams at least five months prior, in order for projects to be planned out, lodged with fire authority and approved in time for the burn.

“CHDLALC Cultural Fire Practitioners plan to commence cultural burning projects as soon as mid-April this year,” said Matthew.

There are three key fire management assets being purchased.

The Bulk Water Storage Tanker is a multi-purpose, off-road capable tanker that can carry more water than urban fire engines.

“This will provide us with pump-and-roll firefighting capabilities, allowing us to deliver water while moving,

which is effective in fighting bushfires and fast-moving grass fires,” said Matthew.

A Skid Steer Loader with multiple bucket/fork attachments, provides the capacity to dig, collect, lift, and move material, and is particularly suitable for containment line establishment and fire trail roading works.

A 4WD Light Vehicle will come equipped with a Quick Corp 2000 Fire Unit installed on its tray.

“By housing fire equipment that is easy to access at the Raleigh Depot, we can support local RFS and emergency services during peak fire season,” said Matthew.

Across Gumbaynggirr Country, CHDLALC will work with training providers to deliver a series of training programs to internal staff and broader Aboriginal community members

on Front-End Loader Operations, Heavy Rigid Vehicle Licensing, Emergency Fire Response Training, Fire Trail Construction and Maintenance.

This will upskill the CHDLALC team to perform on-ground fire management activities including cultural fire, bushfire mitigation activities, and emergency response operations.

“This project provides the best resources to all Indigenous and nonIndigenous partners for planned fire regimes (Bushfire Hazard Reduction Burns, Cultural Burns) as well as providing bushfire prevention works and help with incidents requiring emergency bushfire response.

Both Rangers and other local Aboriginal people will perform fire management and mitigation works including conducting cultural burns to manage the region's

Increasing the resources and capability of Gumbaynggirr people to actively protect and defend their Country and care for their people will also enhance community health, social and cultural recovery, and resilience.

This project would enable Gumbaynggirr Communities to safely apply traditional cultural land management practices and develop a deeper connection to culture.

“This project will significantly increase CHDLALC firefighting and mitigation resources and our ability to share cultural knowledge and skills,” said Matthew.

Plantation Grants

q Grants are available for the establishment of timber plantations

By Andrew VIVIAN

FEDERAL Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan has announced Cowper can benefit from grants of more than $86 million over five years to support the establishment of new plantations to lock-in future wood supply.

He said the Federal Government will look to partner with the NSW Government to deliver grants, in line with the National Forest Industries Plan.

Mr Conaghan said the forestry sector was a huge employer in the region and growing the plantation estate would ensure that continues into the future.

“This program is about getting more trees in the ground and ensuring forest industries in Cowper have a long-term future,” he said.

He predicted that the grants would lead to jobs in the planting phase and in 25 or 30 years’ time when the wood is harvested and processed for building products.

Mr Conaghan said, “We have worked hand-in-hand with industry to address the immediate and long-term challenges facing this sector, and will continue to back them in every step of the way.”

The program will offer matched grants (50/50) to foresters to fund the establishment costs of new plantations, in participating states and territories.

The Australian Government will fund 40 percent of the government contribution to the grants program in each state or territory, and the participating state or territory will be expected to fund 60 percent of the government contribution.

Dr Tim Cadman, an environmentalist from Griffith University, is not as enthusiastic about the grants.

“Currently, NSW forestry is already clearing significant areas of native forest for

plantation establishment, including koala habitat, old growth, and rainforest.

“Based on the forest industry’s track record, this funding will be a driver for deforestation.”

Dr Cadman said, “Unless both governments include provisions in the funding package to prevent this happening, the public can expect another round of land-clearing and habitat destruction.”

The Coffs Harbour Greens agree with Dr Cadman.

They do not reject the proposal but are skeptical.

According to their Secretary, Timothy Nott, there is concern this plan will not be a good use of public money and will fail to generate secure jobs as promised by the Nationals because money will be divided up across Australia, possibly leaving Cowper with a fraction of the $86m.

Mr Nott cites calculations by NSW MLC David Shoebridge, which claim that logging native forests in Cowper received a return

of $28 per hectare, down from $225 in the 2016/17 financial year and that the number of jobs in forestry is in decline due to cost cutting and mechanisation.

He said, “We could maximise demand for staff by investing in growth industries such as ecotourism, regenerative farming, coastal restoration, manufacturing and the electric revolution.

“We need to promote the natural competitive advantage of Cowper and create viable, secure, long term jobs that also have a social licence.

“The Greens welcome the idea of planting native trees, protecting biodiversity and the creation of jobs on the Northern NSW coastline.

“We strongly support regeneration and repair of waterways and forests creating widespread employment such as the Great Koala National Park.”

Renewable Energy Grants Support Local Clubs

By Andrew VIVIAN

EIGHT organisations in Cowper will share $66,663 to help them increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions.

Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan announced the grants with the Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction, Angus Taylor.

Mr Taylor said lowering the energy costs of community groups would have positive effects both locally and nationally.

“At the same time as these groups are providing increased assistance to their local communities, they will be playing a part in our national efforts to reduce emissions.”

Mr Taylor said local jobs could be created through the energy-efficiency measures

undertaken by the successful funding applicants under the program, including installing solar panels or a battery, replacing lighting with LEDs, conducting an energy audit and upgrading air conditioners, hot water systems or a refrigerator with more efficient models.

Mr Conaghan agreed, saying this would help local community groups reduce their power bills and emissions while also supporting local jobs.

The successful Coffs Coast grant

recipients are the Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group ($5,390), the National Cartoon Gallery ($9,400) and the Westside Tennis Club ($7,667).

Alan Pade Facility Manager/coach at the Westside Tennis Club said that their grant would be used to replace older lights with new LED lights over one of the Club’s courts.

“These new lights are brighter and whiter and much cheaper to run.”

Mr Conaghan said, “We know that travel expenses and energy bills are often one of the biggest overheads for volunteer organisations, so I’m certain that these grants will be a welcome boost.”

Governor General Opens Mission Australia Centre

q His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley open the Mission Australia Centre. Photo: supplied.

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE Governor-General of Australia, His Excellency General David Hurley, Mission Australia’s CEO James Toomey and Chair Ken Dean, Mission Australia staff and community members attended the official opening of the newly completed Mission Australia Centre and adjacent social and affordable housing units in Coffs Harbour on Sunday, 27 February.

General Hurley is the patron of Mission Australia.

The project aims to address local needs and was developed in partnership with local stakeholders including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, clients and local organisations.

q

It was funded entirely by donations, with supporters contributing more than $2.4 million alongside a NSW Government infrastructure grant towards the community area interior fit-out, and is a community hub that provides local people and families with access to a variety of support services under one roof.

The residential complex is designed to be a welcoming, positive environment with maximum fresh air and sunlight for all units.

Each self-contained unit includes the latest passive energy designs with controllable solar access and natural ventilation for low energy usage and includes communal rooms and community gardens to foster well being and connection between residents.

Ten of the studio residential units are exclusively for young people aged 18-24 years who need a safe, secure place to call home and the remaining 30 studio units are for adults who are eligible for social and affordable housing.

In opening the Centre, General Hurley praised Mission Australia and said, “This design, the quality of the finish, the welcome in, all speaks respect, talks about dignity, says ‘We care for you, you are important to us’.”

He went on to talk about the “richness in the Australian community” and how people helped each other in times of need and that it is clearly demonstrated on the Coffs Coast.

General Hurley also said that lack of social housing and affordable rental housing is in

Mission Australia cites 2016 Census data that showed a fifteen percent increase in the number of people who experienced homeless in Coffs Harbour since 2011 – a rate higher than the national average – which is anticipated to increase with 2021 Census figures.

Cowper, which takes in Coffs Harbour, is the tenth top federal electorate in Australia for rental stress with 7,698 households experiencing rental stress.

On the Mid North Coast there are 2,912 households on the social housing waitlist and there has been a 73 percent drop in private rental vacancies (according to CHIA NSW’s analysis of the NSW Department of Communities and Justice’s social housing waitlist and private rental vacancies between 2019 and 2020).

Mission Australia CEO James Toomey said, "We are thrilled to open the doors of our new Mission Australia Centre and social and affordable homes in Coffs Harbour.

“Both buildings are part of Mission Australia’s enduring commitment on the Mid North Coast to ensure that people have access to the services and safe and secure homes they need to thrive, and is part of our goal to end homelessness on the Mid North Coast.

“We are proud to be boosting the supply of homes here on the Mid North Coast where we know there remains a shortage of affordable homes, and to be working with the community to ensure vulnerable people can thrive.”

Tensions Over Jetty Foreshore

By Andrew VIVIAN

BRUCE and Helen Weir have been sceptical of the State Government’s intentions for the development of the Jetty Foreshore since before the announcement of the current process almost eighteen months ago.

They pointed out that the initial draft plan indicated a retirement home in the south, at the site currently occupied by the Jetty Beach House, which had never been proposed in any survey of

Coffs Harbour residents.

Fast forwarding to the most recent meeting of the Jetty Foreshores Planning Advisory Committee, the Weirs have pointed out, in a letter to the Editor (‘Abject Betrayal of the Coffs Harbour Community, p24, Coffs Coast News of The Area, 18 February 2022), that current draft plans include residential accommodation along the railway line which, they say, has also never been asked for by locals.

Also in a letter to the

Editor, in this edition, Ann Leonard, a member of the Jetty Foreshores Planning Advisory Committee, agrees that the public has not asked for residential accommodation, but points out that, as its name states, the Committee is advisory only.

Ms Leonard points out that there will be further consultation and urges residents to have their say.

When News Of The Area spoke with the Weirs, Helen said that the ideal usage for

q Bruce and Helen Weir are concerned that the wishes of Coffs Harbour residents are being ignored.

q A current proposal for the railway line land shows substantial “mixed use” buildings along the railway line.

Mr Weir said, “We understand there needs to be some sort of commercial activity but there are already sites such as the old Fishing Club (subject to the wishes of the Indigenous community), the Yacht Club and the Vendetta that can be redeveloped.”

Mrs Weir added that there are also other buildings at the marina that can be used or replaced.

The Weirs are very concerned about a comment in the minutes of a meeting of the Advisory Committee, from 14 December that stated ‘… the uses were subject to

future refinement and would ultimately be determined by market demand …’

Mr Weir said, “As the city grows, where are people going to get their recreation?

“Where are the new public amenities?,” he asked He cites the reconfiguration of Moore Park in Sydney as an example of how previous planning has not accounted for the growing demand for recreation facilities.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh told News Of The Area, “The project has been driven by extensive community consultation.

“The Council has made improvements to the Foreshore over the years and

it has been heavily utilised by the public.

“However, the southern end of the Foreshore has not been utilised as much because there hasn’t been an investment in that area, resulting in the northern end often being overcrowded.

“The Coffs Harbour community has a once in a generation opportunity to create a wonderful precinct at the Jetty foreshore and most people agree with 95 percent of what is being proposed.

“The NSW State Government along with the Department of Planning and the Council are committed to ensuring that we can seek agreement on the other five percent,” said Mr Singh.

Big Season For Little Terns

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE endangered Little Tern breeding colony at Sawtell has enjoyed a bumper season this summer with an estimated 50 or more chicks successfully fledging at the site.

The birds are now headed on their annual 6,000 kilometre migration to the northern hemisphere and National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Area Manager Glenn Storrie has praised the Sawtell community for the successful season.

He said, “Migratory Little Terns returned to the regionally significant shorebird breeding site on the sand spit within Bongil Bongil National Park, south of Sawtell Headland, in December last year and slowly began to build in numbers.

“They were joined this

year by three breeding pairs of endangered Pied Oystercatchers and a rare event of a pair of endangered Sooty Oystercatchers setting up a nest on the sandy beach.”

Two Pied Oystercatcher chicks and two Sooty Oystercatcher chicks fledged as a result.

Mr Storrie said, “Sooty Oystercatchers are known to favour rocky foreshores for nest sites, especially on offshore islands, so it was a rare and special event this summer to not only host a Sooty nest on the Bongil Spit, but to see both eggs hatch and lead to two healthy offspring.”

According to Mr Storrie, occasional pairs of endangered Beach Stone Curlews were also seen on the Spit but no breeding activity occurred.

NPWS staff fenced off the breeding site and erected signs requesting

park visitors keep clear of the area when the number of nests approached 40 in midDecember.

This was because nests were widely spread and over 700 metres of temporary fencing was required to mark out and fence the vulnerable area.

Mr Storrie said, “We were expecting a very busy summer with visitors to the national park due to COVID impacts restricting wider travel, but the big wet over the Christmas/New Year kept some people at home, and this consequently benefited the nesting birds by limiting human disturbances.”

The east coast low and accompanying heavy rain and high Christmas tides that hit the Coffs Coast late in the year thankfully did not inundate the Bongil Spit Little Tern Nesting colony, but unfortunately the nearby

Nambucca River mouth Little Tern breeding colony was completely washed out.

“The birds clearly benefited from the four months of feral animal control work targeting foxes that was implemented in the

national park prior to the bird’s arrival,” Mr Storrie said.

“Coffs Coast Area NPWS staff are grateful for the continued and strong support of our local Sawtell community for our shorebird

recovery program.

“This great result is in no small part due to the conservation support provided by our park neighbours and visitors,” he said.

suicide prevention services.

Lifeline exists so that no person must face their darkest moments alone.

“But right now, we need our community’s support to continue the work we do, on a local scale at Lifeline North Coast - every dollar donated, and every volunteer helps save a life, by contributing locally you are making a difference in our community,” said Angela.

“One way you can do this is by signing up to become a volunteer or enrol into our skill based eWorkshops.

“Our dedicated training programs are facilitated by accredited trainers who work with participants to promote an inclusive culture or workplace that destigmatises mental health issues and encourages help-seeking.”

View Lifeline’s upcoming workshops on their new website lifelinenorthcoast.org.au/ training.

Building on the broader local strategy, Lifeline North Coast recently held a collaborative meeting with CEO Michael ‘Miko’ Smith and Lifeline North Coast Ambassadors.

“Watch this space as a collective team of management and volunteers roll out a strategy of events, services, training, and support that will help prevent suicides and those suffering emotional distress,” said Angela.

Lifeline doubling down for locals

By Andrea FERRARI FLOODING on the Mid North Coast is just the latest disaster to hit the region, leading to an increase in desperate calls to Lifeline North Coast’s helpline.

This powerful natural disaster, added to the stresses of two years of Covid-related ‘un-normal’ life is pushing people to their limits of coping.

“On a local level Lifeline North Coast is answering nearly double the calls as our volunteer Crisis supporters are responding to those who are experiencing emotional distress due to the floods, isolation and being separated from loved ones,” Angela Martin, Communications and Community Engagement Manager Lifeline North Coast (NSW) told News Of The Area.

“Every call is a call for

help.

“We have never been so stretched.

“But as calls increase, we have reduced capacity to respond.”

Lifeline North Coast is urging those who can, to sign up for training and learn the skills to help your family, friends, the community and your work colleagues.

“Lifeline North Coast needs to rapidly respond at scale to be able to answer every call, to be the voice of reassurance, hope, and practical help.”

Every 30 seconds, a person in Australia reaches out to Lifeline for help, by calling the Lifeline Crisis phone line 13 11 14 pronounced thirteen eleven fourteen.

Coffs Harbour Garden sale - planting ideas

By Andrea FERRARI

FEELING green fingered?

Fancy growing some veggies from seed?

Coffs Harbour Garden is having its famous Garden Sale on Saturday 5 March, from 10.00am to 1pm.

It’s held at Coffs Harbour Garden, just inside the entry gate, behind 51 Combine Street in Coffs Harbour.

“Volunteers at the community gardens have been gathering/potting different cuttings over the last few years and there’s lots of variety to choose from,” Lara Reading, Coffs Harbour Garden Secretary, told News Of The Area.

“One lady has managed to start roses from cuttings.

“There’s also seeds saved from many veggies grown in our local gardens.”

Garden Coordinator Susan Kiriazis told News Of The Area, “On the day people can ask questions about gardening and how to care for the plants they buy.

“Garden members will be present to talk about how to get the best out of your plants.

“When members and plot holders get together there’s always discussion on different growing techniques, especially for veggies.

“We started plant sales about eighteen months ago with the aim of getting more community involvement in the gardens.

Dragon Boat Xilong christened

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS Coast Dragon Boat Club members were in high spirits for the ceremony that saw the christening of their new boat, ‘Xilong’, on Saturday 19 February, despite inclement weather.

The auspicious occasion took place on the banks of the Bellinger River at Mylestom.

Club members and a small crowd of onlookers willing to brave the spasmodic downpours

gathered on the riverside to partake in this timehonoured ceremony which is an important part of the dragon boating tradition.

The ceremony was carried out by Buddhist monk Kavissara from the Dhammaduta Meditation Centre at Upper Orara.

The formalities traditionally involve painting a red line down the centre of the dragon’s forehead to open the third eye which is called the ‘dotting the eye’ ceremony.

The new dragon boat was officially and spiritually awakened and christened Xilong or ‘wind dragon’ which was the popular naming choice voted upon by the Club members.

“Like many sporting activities we have had almost two years of cancelled events,” said Club President Sue Hughes.

Healthy meal prep with Chef Barrie Jones

By Andrea FERRARI

CHEF Barrie Jones is running four free workshops providing inspiring ideas, tips and tricks to helping locals make meals easy.

Held at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre (CHNC), Barrie will take you through a program that aims to build food preparation skills, show you how to create simple dishes and will provide ideas on food presentation.

“Finding the motivation, time and sometimes the energy to cook meals for ourselves or our family can seem overwhelming, especially if we are on a budget,” Di Wood, Manager at CHNC, told News Of The Area.

“Looking at staples and trying to be creative doesn’t always come easy.

“However, preparing meals that can be tasty, with ingredients we usually already have in our kitchen and that are affordable, doesn’t need to be difficult.

“Sometimes just knowing a few new ideas or skills can make all the difference.

“There are a lot of benefits in choosing to cook meals at home.

“Home cooked meals give you more control over the ingredients.

“Including a variety of fruit and vegetables adds colour, texture and interest to more nutrient-rich meals.

“Simple meal ideas, combined with a little knowledge about how to substitute ingredients to what is available, cheap or in our pantry also helps expand the types of meals we can prepare.

q Di Woods, Manager at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, will welcome Chef Barrie to the centre.

Be a Billion Bees keeper

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Billion Bees Foundation has been awarded a Black Summer Connecting Communities federal government grant and is now calling upon Coffs LGA organisations to join their project.

Founded by Saverino Russo in 2020, the Billion Bees project draws together local community groups to work on an environmental project that brings Australian native stingless bees and beehives into their community.

“Our project is about giving nature the upper hand; by setting up Australian native beehives, the bees naturally want to propagate and bring the bushfire affected areas back to life,” Saverino told News Of The Area.

Fulfilling the criteria of the grant, Billion Bees focuses on Black Summer Bushfire affected communities, helping to build community resilience by developing and sharing trade and project

management skills to create employment opportunities within these communities.

“Across the country Billion Bees is inviting local Aboriginal Land Councils, Men’s Sheds, Local Government, TAFE, Landcare and Schools to work with

“Cooking and eating with friends or family is a wonderful way to connect and ensure we make time for quality conversation.

“Children who have fun and involvement in preparing meals are more likely to eat what they have helped prepare and ensures their consumption of a variety of healthy foods.”

The four-session course will be held at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre, March 22,23,29 and 30 from 10am until 12-noon.

It is free, and all ingredients are supplied.

“This workshop is hands-on and you will prepare meals along-side Chef Barrie and enjoy eating what we have cooked at the end of each session.”

The workshops are in partnership with TAFENSW and support accredited

TAFE units, so you can have fun, learn skills and have the opportunity to build work skills at the same time.

Whatever your abilities or experience as a cook, you can learn to prepare simple meals on a budget.

Booking are required.

Register online at www. trybooking.com/BXQHZ or contact Di on 66483663 or volunteeringcoffs@chnc. com.au.

Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre also partners with OzHarvest, ensuring surplus food is redirected to help feed people in need, and doesn’t end up in landfill.

find out more about these important projects and sign up as a Men’s Shed, School or Community Group to let us know that you would like to participate in the program to bring native bees back into our bushfire affected communities.”

Their current focus is working with Black Summer Bushfire affected communities in New South Wales and Queensland, to restock their lands with

Australian native stingless bees.

This is for natural bushland restoration, pollination and to help biodiversity in these devastated places.

New hotline to fast-track power reconnection for northern NSW flood victims MASTER Electricians Australia (MEA) has launched a free hotline to connect home owners affected by flooding with local electricians, in order to get the power turned back on as soon as possible.

MEA CEO Malcolm Richards said the service would help flooded residents find electricians faster so they could get their power

checked and turned back on as soon as possible.

“If the power to the home has been cut off due to inundation, home owners will need to have the electrical fittings checked and declared safe before the home can be reconnected,” Mr Richards said.

“If the power to your street has been restored you should call the Master

Electricians Australia hotline - 1300 889 198 – and we will help you find a contractor to get you back on the grid.

“In many cases it will be a simple matter of testing that everything is safe. In some cases, work will be required to replace damaged fittings or disconnect them.

“Either way, it will require a licensed electrician and the fastest way to get one

will be to call the hotline.”

Mr Richards also invited electrical contractors in flood-affected areas to register with the Master Electricians Australia hotline, so they could be connected to homeowners in need.

“You don’t need to be a Master Electricians Australia member – this is a service we are providing for free to the community in order to get

MINISTER for Transport and Veterans David Elliott is urging boaters on the North Coast to stay off waterways until dangerous conditions and extreme weather subside.

“As the severe weather moves into northern NSW, we implore boaters on the Mid and Far North Coast to stay off waterways with moderate to major flooding impacting the region,” Mr Elliott said.

“Submerged debris, strong currents, wild weather, strong winds

and big seas are causing treacherous conditions along the coast, while the extreme weather is expected to travel further south to the Mid North Coast.

“Heavy rain is expected to continue and waterways are saturated, with the risk of life-threatening flooding and hazardous submerged debris making boating unsafe.

“We urge boaters to stay off waterways in hazardous conditions because doing so places yourself, your passengers and anyone who

attempts to rescue you in the event of misadventure, in danger.

“The significant amount of debris floating downstream is a major threat, as is the likelihood the extreme conditions could have obscured or moved navigation markers to guide skippers around hazards.”

Mark Hutchings, Executive Director NSW Maritime, encouraged boaters to monitor weather conditions, look out for each other, wear a lifejacket at all times and only take to the

water when it was safe to do so.

“Skippers must check weather forecasts and only head out on the waterways when the dangerous conditions subside,” Mr Hutchings said.

“In particular, crossing a coastal bar, heading offshore and rock fishing should be avoided.”

Sawtellian of the Year – at last

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Sawtellian of the Year presentation will take place on Saturday 5 March at noon.

“After the COVID scare forced the cancellation of New Year’s Day’s 2022 Sawtell Super Fun Day and the awarding of Sawtellian and Young Sawtellian’s of the Year, the hunt has been on for new date to present the awards,” Fun Day Committee Chairperson Keith Bensley told NOTA. “Ideally we were looking for a date where both awards could be made, but getting everyone involved, including the nominees on one date now we are out of

the holiday season, proved difficult.”

Taking it step by step, the new date of Saturday 5 March at 12 midday at the Sawtell Surf Club will see the Sawtellian of the Year announced by Coffs Harbour MP Gurmesh Singh who will present the award to a well-deserving community member.

“Everyone in the Sawtell community is welcome to come along to see who wins the award for making an outstanding contribution to the Sawtell community in 2021,” said Keith.

The Young Sawtellian of the Year will be presented at a later date which will be announced in a future

edition of NOTA. The Sawtell Fun Day Committee has also been looking at all options to reschedule the 2022 Fun Day. “Finding a day when all the participants and providers are available and we can close the street for the Fun Run and Street Parade, proved impossible,” said Keith.

“The complete Fun Day program has been put on ice until 1 January 2023 when we hope to have fine weather and a COVID free day of fun, entertainment and the announcement of the Sawtellian and Young Sawtellian’s for 2022.”

Celebration of life for Miriam Rullis “Laughter was mum’s best medicine, especially during her treatment.

“The celebration of mum’s life will have a traditional Mauri element, including a Haka to reflect mum’s Mauri heritage.

“We will also play bingo… mum loved to play bingo.”

Miriam and her husband Victor were perhaps the best-known funeral directors in Coffs Harbour, having set up the business in the mid1990s.

Victor said, “She was the driving force - it was my name, but she was the cog the visionary.

“I called her ‘the boss’.

“She was in the background, but she told me where to go and what to do.”

From her creativity to her generous nature, Victor recalls the many ways she

touched the community.

“You know she fostered over 50 kids.

“She was a foster kid herself.”

As Victor recalled, everything seemed to come in fours.

“She was born on the 4th, diagnosed on October 4, 2020, with a grade 4 tumour.

“She passed away at 4am, February 11 at the age of 54.”

She never once complained from her diagnosis, through treatment to her death, said Victor.

“She was very private about it.

“She didn’t want people to feel sorry for her because her Christian faith was her strength and truth.”

Her determination allowed her to hide it for some time with family members covering for her - finishing off

Miriam underwent chemotherapy, radiation and an operation to remove sections of the tumour, but as Victor explained these kinds of tumours are like a spider web.

Navigating the health system was an eye opener for the family and they decided the only option was to care for Miriam at home.

The necessary equipment was purchased - which will be donated to other families with similar circumstances.

On February 11, Victor took a shovel and broke the ground on the first plot on their recently approved private cemetery at their property ‘Miriamvale’ in Lowanna.

“Throughout all of it I never once saw her cry.

“Until the night before she passed her family surrounded her and sang ‘You are my sunshine’, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

“She always said to keep talking to her till the end as hearing is the last sense to go.”

Miriam loved to celebrate - she even had a chemo party before her first round of treatment with family dressed in matching pyjamas.

Celebrating their love was also a high priority with Victor and Miriam getting married three times: prechildren, as a family with their church community and a recommitment ceremony after her diagnosis.

“She designed the coffin herself,” Victor said.

“She was the most incredibly creative person; she could turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse.

“She would stay up until all hours to make things for people and give them away.”

Her last outing was to the Ulong RSL to celebrate her 54th birthday and enjoy one last glass of red wine.

SWIFF22 To Open With ‘The Northman’

By Andrew VIVIAN

SCREENWAVE International Film Festival 2022 (SWIFF’22) has announced ‘The Northman’, directed by acclaimed director Rogert Eggers (‘The Witch’, ‘The Lighthouse’) as the feature for the Opening Night Gala, marking the start of the Festival on Thursday, 21 April.

SWIFF audiences will be among the first in the country to witness the latest cinematic

masterpiece from the visionary director and one of the most highly anticipated films of 2022.

A revenge thriller, labelled as a ‘Viking Hamlet’, the film tells the tale of Amleth, played by Alexander Skarsgård (‘True Blood’), a young prince on a quest to avenge his father’s murder and save his mother from his traitorous uncle.

The film features a formidable cast,

q Omnitae nonetur? Nonectae vita conet latur, cum adipidi sitaquas

q Alexander Skarsgård rages as a Viking in ‘The Northman’. Photo: SWIFF.

including Nicole Kidman (‘Killing of a Sacred Deer’ – SWIFF’18), Ethan Hawke (‘The Truth’ – SWIFF ‘20), Claus Bang (‘The Square’ – SWIFF’18), as well as frequent collaborators, Anya Taylor-Joy (‘The Witch’, Netflix’s ‘The Queen’s Gambit’) and Willem Dafoe (‘The Lighthouse’), and, in an exciting return to the big screen after a 20-year absence, Björk (‘Dancer in the Dark’, Best Actress Cannes 2002).

Written by Eggers, in collaboration with poet and novelist, Sjón (long-time collaborator with Björk), ‘The Northman’ fuses the epic majesty of Viking folklore with the vivid world building Eggers is best known for, creating an art-house blockbuster.

Kate Howat, SWIFF Artistic Director, said, “As a festival made for movie fans by movie fans, SWIFF is thrilled to have an exciting creative voice like Robert Eggers lead off this year’s 40-country tour of world cinema.”

With over 11,000 people attending SWIFF events last year, SWIFF’22 will include filmmaker and industry Q&A’s, Autumn Feast wine dinners, live soundtrack screenings, and the new Storyland music festival.

The Opening Night Gala will lead off a 16-day, 130-session strong music and film line-up.

Tickets are now on sale.

The full SWIFF’22 program is to be announced March 18.

Flickerfest carnival of short films

By Susan KONTIC

FLICKERFEST, Australia’s largest Short Film Festival, returns to the Majestic Cinema in Sawtell at 7pm on Saturday 12 March as part of its national tour.

Now in its 31st year, Flickerfest remains Australia’s leading Academy® Qualifying and BAFTA Recognised short film festival.

It continues to present A-list short-film programs such as this year’s Short Laughs Comedy program that features highlights from recent Bondi festival competitions, which are all entertaining, inspiring and award-winning.

The program features clever comedies from Australia and across the globe, including the delightful UK short ‘Don Vs Lightning’, starring the legendary Peter Mullan as Don, a man who just wants a

quiet life in the Scottish Highlands – alas the Universe has other plans.

Then there’s acclaimed Australian actor/director Nash Edgerton’s hilarious black comedy ‘Shark’ starring Nash and Rose Byrne, and the laugh-out-loud UK/ French animation ‘Affairs Of The Art’ recently nominated for an Oscar for Best Short Animated Film.

From New Zealand comes the charming winner of the SAE Creative Media Institute Award for Best Use of Digital Technology in ‘Space Invader’, the story of young Max, who loves three things: hanging out with his dad (who's his best mate), baked beans and Star Wars, all of which are under threat when dad's new girlfriend comes on the scene.

It’s a night of fun that will have you laughing for weeks to come.

q ‘Don vs Lightning’ is the story of a man who just wants a quiet life, but it always evades him.

Burial at sea: The legalities

BARRY, a retired professional fisherman, makes a will which includes a provision to the effect that upon his death, he wishes for his remains to be the subject of a burial at sea.

Barry appoints his son, William as his executor.

Many years later, Barry passes-away and William makes enquiries regarding Barry’s burial wishes.

William discovers that he must submit a Burial at Sea Permit Application Form to the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment with an application fee of $1675.

The application form must include the reasons for applying for a burial at sea.

The fact that Barry could demonstrate that he had a ‘connection to the sea’ by virtue of his occupation assisted William’s application.

The fact that his wishes were clearly noted in Barry’s will, also assisted William’s application.

William contacts a local charter operator who provides him with the vessel type and registration number for inclusion in the application.

The application is granted four days after the application is lodged.

William discovers that the sea burial can only occur in waters of a depth greater than 3000m and that his father’s body must be sewn into a shroud made of heavy canvas, containing sufficient weight to ensure it sinks rapidly.

A local funeral director prepares the body in accordance with the Ship Captain’s Medical Guide.

A small group of Barry’s closest friends and family depart the shore and upon reaching a suitable site, a ceremony is conducted, before Barry’s body slides into the sea.

The funeral director completes the process by submitting a full report to the Department, outlining the details, which includes the latitude and longitude of the burial site, the depth of the water and the distance from the nearest land and closest city.

If you are considering a burial at sea, it is important to record your wishes in your will.

The cost of a burial at sea may be prohibitive and if so, consider a cremation and the scattering of your ashes at sea.

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 friends gave me a group birthday present for a hot air balloon experience.

Given my hatred for heights and confined spaces, I’m wondering if I need new friends.

Mary H. Dear Mary,

For a community voice DEAR News Of The Area,

LEARNT a lesson from last election, one that’s gunna last, This poor country of ours is rooted in the past.

We had a chance to take a plan and move right on ahead, But again the voters chose to go nowhere fast instead.

No matter how our country grows the mindset still takes hold, Do nothing for fear of change, do nothing that is bold.

We’re into Rip van Winkle era number three, Thanks to Menzies, Howard and the current LNP It’s the third stage now, where nothing’s getting done, Don’t do any of those bold things, just sit there on your bum.

We’re drifting policy free and running in a vacuum, We’ve seen no solutions for the elephants in the back room.

Don’t talk to me about a fair go, that notion’s truly dead, A helping hand and generous Aussies, has been turned on its head.

Greed has taken over, and for my country I despair, For it’s become so selfish with a general lack of care.

Just like the national scene the policies came to naught, As fear and innuendo and the dollar ruled their thought.

How can we close our eyes and simply let things go by?

Does it no longer matter if things we’re told are just a lie?

But good things come to those who wait, it’s said.

And electing an independent in Cowper is far from dead, We’re readying to go again with hope and new zeal, The swarms will be round about and they’ll be dressed in teal.

Honesty and integrity are the basis of how we live, And we need ‘community’ back in politics to allow us all to give.

Our spirit is irresistible and we’ll work towards a win, And that means having an independent member voted in!

Regards, Trevor HARRAGON, Boambee East.

Detention Basins DEAR News Of The Area,

Congratulations to the council of the time, headed by then Mayor, Keith Rhodes, who confronted our flooding disasters of the time and went into action.

The detention basins they forged ahead with, have made such a huge difference to our ability to withstand the type of weather event we have just experienced.

Certainly we did not have the unbelievable rainfall totals that other less fortunate cities experienced, but we had enough to test out our system of basins.

The council of the time had the foresight

I’m not one of those people, instead picturing a random bird colliding with the balloon and puncturing it, leading to a rather inconvenient plummet back to earth as you leap out and hope the parachute works (do these hot air balloons come equipped with parachutes? - worth checking).

I’d be returning the favour by offering your friends presents based on their phobias.

Your friends may then get the message, and perhaps take the opportunity to get to know you a bit better.

However, I continue to be puzzled by the question: "Why don't the Insurance companies and the State and Federal Governments pool together and address one city's problem at a time, and design better mitigation plans?"

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD REMITTANCE men, paid a lump sum by their family, then leaving, never to return, rarely have their situation discovered.

Yet, one such man came to this area and had a creek named after him.

Frederick Fiddaman was born c1830

Fickle Fortune in Fakenham, Norfolk, England.

It is unknown if he was exiled in shame by his family or he received his inheritance early and came to Australia. Regardless, he arrived in Melbourne in the early 1860s then travelled to Grafton via Sydney.

He married Elizabeth Kealy there in 1867 and had five children between 1868 and 1879.

In October 1870 his daughter, then aged nearly two years, was lost in the bush for two days.

After an extensive hunt, she was found hungry but unhurt and when handed to him, he fainted from relief.

Emailing the Council DEAR News Of The Area,

JUDY Quickenden’s letter (‘Council relies on our feedback for change’, Coffs Coast NOTA, p 28, 11 February Edition) raised worthy comments.

Well done.

Unfortunately this new Council, as the previous one, is not listening.

The $81,000.000 is only the tip

of an iceberg and surely the needs of our citizens requiring affordable accomodation in our fair city was worthy of more worthwhile consideration.

Despite huge opposition to this project the wishes of a large number of ratepayers has been ignored and continues to do so.

Christine Lubans’ comments were also really well done (‘What is the true

The total lack of comments regarding the Council Chambers is a huge disappointment not only in the burden on the ratepayers and the total congestion and lack of parking in the CBD. The departure of the GM is nothing short of a miracle.

This is the man who advocated the Council accept a huge loan without total regard to inevitable rate rises adding another burden on the ratepayers for

Jetty Foreshore Project Steering Advisory Committee DEAR News Of The Area, IN response to Bruce Weirs letter (‘Abject Betrayal of the Coffs Harbour Community’, p24, Coffs Coast News of The Area, 18 February 2022), as a member of the Project Steering Advisory Committee I can affirm the proposal for construction of 240 residential units and 60 tourist accommodation units along the railway land west of Jordan esplanade does not conform with my understanding of the desired outcome of the community as revealed in the 2018 consultation process by GHD. Nor does it conform with the outcome of the consultation process undertaken in March/April 2021.

I would like to assure Mr Weir there are people on the committee who are doing their utmost to ensure the wishes of the community are upheld and the minutes of the meeting do not reflect the robust discussion that sometimes occurs during

the meetings.

It is critical the Coffs Harbour community comes out in force for the next round of consultation to ensure the widest cross section of views and opinions are put forward if there is to be an outcome that meets the aspirations of the broad community.

We are advised there will be a wider net cast to gauge the public sentiment in the next round including a reach out to the younger generation.

We are also advised this consultation process will be well advertised.

No doubt these processes can be overwhelming for some but it is important that people speak up for themselves and from the heart.

If the community does not take advantage of the process they could very quickly find themselves in a similar debacle to that over the Cultural and Civic Space.

It is important to seek out the information and stay informed regarding all proposals

The Daily Brew - Tea

By Fiona MORGAN

ON the theme of food resilience for our area, for many regions they would simply have to give up their caffeinated habits once supplies were gone, but we would not.

Tea, coffee, sugarcane and other sweeteners all grow very well here.

And we have cows and goats for milk, and macadamias for a non-dairy alternative.

The effort goes into processing with a lot of these, not the growing.

Tea Camellia sinensis Did you know it's a camellia?

Our often acidic soils around here suit camellia, and indeed tea bushes grow really well all by themselves.

As one grower remarked, it's “tough as nails”.

That's what we want!

And the plant can last for up to 30 years!

Buy a seedling or two, that will be enough for home use, or find someone who already

has a tea plant.

Tea bushes are carpeted underneath with seedlings.

It also strikes easily from cuttings.

You can plant seedlings out any time, though autumn and spring will be the best seasons to get them going.

Tea can survive frost once it is established but it will need protection while still a young soft plant.

Tea likes full sun, a well drained position with decent moisture available.

No fussing or care required.

It takes around three years to grow to full size, 1-2m in height and width, though you can begin making tea as soon as the plant is large enough to cope with losing a few leaves here and there.

Tea leaf growth here involves a spring and an autumn flush.

You will need to prune to encourage leaf growth so you have plenty of the young leaves to pick and drink.

and outcomes and to respond through participation and submissions.

The Jetty Foreshore Project Steering Advisory Committee (PSAC) is just that.

An advisory committee.

Over and above the eleven individuals who are on the committee there is a background of urban designers and Indigenous consultants along with marketing and research personnel from the NSW Department of Planning and Environment and of course staff members from Coffs Harbour City Council.

The eleven individuals from the PSAC very quickly become a meeting of 25 or more attendees with some attending remotely.

One matter of importance which was not mentioned in Mr Weirs letter is the proposal for signature buildings either side of Marine Pde just east of the rail crossing.

One to the north and one to the south.

No detail has been given as to just what these buildings might comprise.

However regardless of the use and as a “gateway” to the foreshore they

older boys spent fourteen days in Grafton gaol.

Around this time, Frederick tried his luck at gold mining near Emerald Beach and leaving his family in Grafton, he travelled to the area.

Setting up camp beside a creek near a farm owned by the Skinner family, he built a mine on Look-At-Me-Now Headland.

Whilst working he injured his hand, so walked to the farm for treatment.

On returning to his campsite it was assumed he fainted, causing him to fall into the creek and drown.

His body was found near the creek crossing on 6 June 1882 and buried nearby at Emerald Beach Caravan Park. many years to come.

As a regular Library user I have never found the area to be congested and as for the gallery most times I am the only person in attendance.

Surely we deserve better than this from the newly elected Council or as before we continue to be of no consequence.

Kindest regards, Ann DEANS, North Boambee Valley. would contribute significantly to altering the amenity of the space and to activity immediately adjacent to the rail crossing.

This wold place further pressure on parking and traffic flows which would need to be addressed To offset the anticipated increase in activity in the precinct there is a proposal for multi-level parking along the rail line between the station and the Jetty strip.

With so many concerns in the community regarding traffic congestion and parking issues it is important people fully understand the plans as a whole.

How these plans would mesh with the revitalisation of the Jetty strip which will include commercial retail and accommodation offerings at the old forestry site and also at the Jetty Village in time needs to be considered.

None of this will happen overnight but taken as a whole it gives a clear picture of where the government at all levels may be looking for the Jetty area into the future.

Any questions regarding these matters can be addressed to members of the PSAC or directly to the NSWDPIE. Regards, Ann LEONARD.

It responds well to pruning which is code for it's difficult to mess this up for this plant.

It's recommended to prune after flowering and to give some balanced fertiliser at this time too to support the next flush of growth.

Videos Bring Community Together

A MUSIC video, ‘Through the Smoke’, by the Gumbaynggirr Collective, and short films ‘The Split’, with Uncle Tony Perkins and Troy Robinson, and ‘Coby’s Yarn’, with young Indigenous filmmaker Coby Cochrane, were premiered at the Jetty Beach House on 24 February, along with guest speakers, live music, food and community discussions.

The video and films were written, scripted and produced by charity organisation Desert Pea Media (DPM) and Enterprise and Training Company Limited (ETC) who worked with

Gumbaynggirr and the local Indigenous communities from Coffs Harbour and Nambucca Heads to facilitate important conversations about identity, well-being and culture.

The project was funded and supported by ETC, which is a community orientated, not-for-profit provider of employment, and training services.

ETC Board Chair Rod McKelvey said, “We are committed to reinvesting our profits back into the business and into the communities where we operate – it’s our way of giving back and thanking those communities which continue to support us.

“We’re proud to support Desert Pea Media with $100,000 to bring this unique opportunity to Coffs Harbour and local Gumbaynggirr people,” he said.

DPM has long been amplifying the voices of Original Nations young people, Elders and communities across regional and remote Australia for more than two decades.

Toby Finlayson, Creative Director, DPM, said, “This project represents a very important milestone for DPM – connecting with the Coffs Harbour community and ETC for the first time has been an incredible experience.

“The development of trust and relationships with the community has been seamless, and we’re looking forward to the potential for long-term future programming and genuine social impact for community members in Coffs Harbour and surrounds.”

ETC Marketing Manager Natasha Kirkham said the ETC board looks for projects to fund each year through its Regional Community Support Fund.

She said that DPM wanted to connect Gumbaynggirr elders and young people

and spent two weeks at the Botanical Gardens and visited important local sites during the production.

Ms Kirkham said the process has brought the community together and helped local Aboriginal youth be proud of their culture.

Ceharnie Martin, Indigenous Services Manager, ETC, agreed that the productions had been very positive for everyone involved.

“If you plant a seed at the right time then you can empower someone when they

share their stories.”

Mr Finlayson said, “The process has resulted in creating a culturally safe space for the community to share and create an intergenerational conversation about social change.

“It’s been an honour to work on Gumbaynggirr country and we hope to continue a sustainable relationship with the community.”

VAN DER VALK

ABC, 8.30pm

Based on the much-loved series that ran from 19721992, this re-imagining doesn’t try to rewrite the original. In fact, much to many fans’ chagrin, it doesn’t even feature the original theme song, which was so popular that it arrived at #1 on the UK music charts in 1973. Starring Marc Warren (State of Play) as the titular detective, he’s the typically cynical law enforcement worker that we’ve all come to expect from traditional British crime dramas. In “Payback in Amsterdam”, Van Der Valk must dive into Amsterdam’s classical music scene in the search for a killer.

There’s no denying the dynamic formula of having former dancers as the judges and one of the hosts of this series, as well as a legend in entertainment TV: Daryl Somers. As the host of Hey Hey It’s Saturday for almost 30 years, he’s an old hand at making the audience feel at home. Along with co-host Sonia Kruger (Strictly Ballroom, right), they are a formidable team. Tonight, group one, including Grant Denyer, Bridie Carter and Kylie Gillies, returns to the floor to impress judges Todd McKenney, Paul Mercurio, Helen Richey and Mark Wilson, with one celebrity dedicating their Viennese waltz to his family, while another’s performance in is honour of their dad.

A spin-off of the cult hit series based on Kerry Greenwood’s novels and starring Essie Davis, this 1960s-set reincarnation packs its own punch. Starring Geraldine Hakewill (Wanted, Wakefield) as Miss Fisher’s go-getting niece, the show’s first season proved that when there’s an engaging premise – a sassy and smart woman solving crimes in a charismatic fashion – there’s always room for more. Season two kicks off tonight, with “Death by Design”. Peregrine (Hakewill) and Detective James Steed (Joel Jackson) investigate a mystifying case after an architect and his lover are found dead.

support women’s education, employment and wellbeing.

Held from Monday 7

Red Cross Calling

By Andrea FERRARI

WOOLGOOLGA Red Cross is getting creative with its participation in March’s Red Cross Calling month.

The campaign runs throughout Australia and is now in its 74th year.

For around half that time Woolgoolga Red Cross members and volunteers have participated in the wave of action to support the important everyday work that Red Cross does throughout the year.

This year volunteers will again be unable to actually doorknock due to Covid restrictions, but the Woolgoolga Branch will continue to be active in seeking support from the local community which has shown such generosity over many years.

www.newsofthearea.com.au March to Sunday 13 March, NSW Women’s Week will celebrate the achievements of the State’s women and highlight ways to build a more equitable future for girls and young women.

It will coincide with International Women’s Day on 8 March, and the NSW Women of the Year Awards on 9 March.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said, “The 2022 NSW Women’s Week is set to be the biggest ever with the schedule of events across NSW reflecting both the creativity and diversity of NSW women.”

Mr Singh said he was delighted the NSW Government is providing $3300 to Coffs Harbour Older Women’s Network in support of their forum, Focus on the Future Through Mentoring,

to be held on Monday 7 March from 10am to 2.30pm at the Coffs Harbour Surf Club.

The forum is free to all participants and a light lunch is included, but participants need to register for the event – see link below.

“Coffs Harbour Older Women’s Network is doing important work in our community,” said Mr Singh.

The theme of the forum centres on confidence building across educational and workplace environments, commencing with a panel of young women and older women in the workplace and participants will be encouraged to discuss and develop strategies that address confidence building, empowerment, safety in the community, and the workplace.

Minister for Women

Bronnie Taylor described NSW Women’s Week as “bringing women together to celebrate and inspire one another”.

Mrs Taylor added, “This week will deliver a wide range of practical supports that will benefit women right across our fabulous state.”

Coffs Harbour Older Women's Network provides meaningful and engaging events for women over 45 from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, enabling them to make social connections, build selfconfidence and resilience and learn new skills.

Robyn Rooth, NSW Red Cross Board Member and Branch Patron told News Of The Area, “Fundraising will take place in several ways.

“There will be a luxe raffle with great prizes.

“We will be collecting donations at street stalls during March.

“There will be a special coffee day on 18 March when Mikayla at Beachhouse Café will very generously donate $1 for every cup of coffee that is purchased on the day.

“Red Cross members will be present at Beachhouse Café on the day to answer any questions and thank you for your support.”

Robyn shares where the funds are spent across the Woolgoolga community.

“Your support can help

to ensure people who are older and isolated have someone to check on them regularly.

“You will be helping newly arrived refugees to settle in their new home, and you will be helping young people in the justice system, and in many other ways.”

In conjunction with Red Cross Calling, the campaign ‘Act for Humanity’ encourages everyone to take a humanitarian step, no matter how small.

“This could be by taking a cake to an elderly neighbour, doing something you are good at - maybe using your knitting skills to join the Trauma Teddy team, teach someone to cook, sell baked goods, set up a friendly football match for local young people.

“Riptide was one of my favourite songs growing up.

“I used to sit at the back of the school bus from Nana Glen to Coffs Harbour High School and practice the song every

day.

“I think the other students got fed up with me because I only knew Riptide and played it all of the time.

“I’ve been singing since I was three years old and played instruments since I was about twelve.

“I’ve been playing very easy listening covers of folky/

pop songs but recently I’ve started a new project called ESIUM which will be more focused on the combination of everything that I’ve learnt over the years of playing with my love for electronic music and joining them together,” said Sam. Sam helped younger musicians Dylan and Jaida on

The Waterbug Count is on THE Big Waterbug Count is fast approaching, with Bellingen Riverwatch (BR) taking registrations now.

On Friday 27 May, as a citizen scientist you can join Bellingen Riverwatch volunteers and organisation partners who will gather to study and identify the tiny creatures that live in our waterways.

“This year, we will be sending out learning materials and quizzes in the lead up to the event, and scientists from The Department of Planning and Environment Science Division will be hosting lead-up training sessions in the week prior to The Count,” Program Manager at OzGREEN, Amy Denshire, told News Of The Area.

“The waterbugs found in our rivers are a direct indicator of environmental impact - if they change over time, then some difference in the environment has caused that change.”

This event is part of BR’s Macroinvertebrate Monitoring program - one of the largest of its kind in the country.

The data is hoped to be

collected twice a year and extend well into the future, to build a clear picture of how our waterways are changing over time.

“We are looking longterm with this program and are seeking community members with an interest in science or river health to join us, try it out for this round, and perhaps become a part of the program year-on-year,” said Amy. “Yes, it's complex work and requires lots of concentration, but it’s super fun and we’re all learning together and building our skills over time,” Amy said.

“It is seriously fascinating stuff,” said Robert Gale, volunteer.

“It’s mind blowing the first time you see the amount of life in one bucket of water from these incredible rivers.”

The unique river systems of the Bellinger and Kalang catchments (some of the most studied rivers in NSW) are home to many diverse species, including the critically endangered Bellingen River Snapping Turtle (BRST).

The macro program began because BRST scientists wanted to keep an eye on the abundance of waterbugs that form the diet of the turtle.

“The ongoing recovery of the Bellinger River Snapping Turtle in the Bellinger Catchment is

linked directly to the aquatic macroinvertebrate communities of the catchment’s rivers,” said Shane Ruming, Scientist, Department of Planning and Environment, Saving our Species.

“Not only are aquatic macroinvertebrates an important component of the Bellinger River Snapping Turtle diet, the macroinvertebrate communities are sensitive to changes in water quality and will, therefore, be an important indicator of river health into the future.”

community halls.

Community Relations Manager North Coast, Raelene Myers, said, “From Monday 28 February, eligible groups such as charities, not-for-profit and community groups like CWAs, community halls, community centres, school P&Cs and sporting clubs can nominate to take part in the community-led voting for a share of the $245,000.

“Once verified, they can rally their supporters to take part in the public voting online for ten days from 8 April.

“The entire process can be completed online – from community groups and charities nominating to the community voting.

“It’s a great and COVIDsafe way to raise funds,”

Raelene said.

“There are many groups across our footprint that are really in need of this funding – which is why Essential Energy is asking the community to choose a cause that counts and nominate them,” Raelene said.

The Community Choices program includes $245,000 in funding across 20 zones in the network area, with funding packages ranging from $300 to $2,500 available depending on votes.

There are separate funding streams available for community halls and for groups located within small communities with populations of less than 10,000.

Nominees must be able to receive payments by

electronic funds transfer (EFT) and provide photos and stories about their organisations and the work they do.

“It offers a tangible way for people to give back to nature, in a fun and accessible

way.”

The Bellingen Riverwatch Macroinvertebrate Monitoring Program is supported by the Australian Government’s Bushfire Recovery Program for Wildlife and their Habitat, NSW Department of Planning and Environment and its Saving our Species program, Bellingen Shire Council, North Coast Local Land Services, EnviroComm Connections and National Waterbug Blitz and OzGREEN.

Coffs Harbour Surf Club Purchase Much Needed Life Saving Equipment

q Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club with Club President Terry Maher.

By David WIGLEY

COFFS Harbour Surf Life Saving Club (CHSLSC), a community organisation run by volunteers, purchased new life saving equipment to protect members of the public who surf and swim at the beach.

A new sponsorship from the C.ex Group through their ClubGRANTS Program means the club has been able to purchase and maintain much needed lifesaving equipment and provide up-to-date training for all volunteer members.

Coffs Harbour Surf Life Saving Club President Terry Maher explained the importance of the new equipment.

“Patrons at Park Beach are blessed to be able to enjoy the water while being watched over by our exceptional, volunteer patrol members.

“A part of our puzzle is that we need to have lifesaving equipment like allterrain vehicles, inflatable rescue boats, patrol shelter and oxygen equipment.

“These things aren’t cheap, and they also need to be maintained.

“Not only that, we invest a lot into our volunteer education and training to upskill our members to ensure our beaches are as safe as they can be.

“So, we are extremely grateful for our new Platinum sponsor, the C.ex Group who have contributed $20,000 in much needed and very much appreciated funding to the Club.”

CHSLSC identified five roles for volunteer surf lifesavers this summer.

“Identify the safest part of the beach to position the red and yellow flags, patrol the flagged area and monitor the beach

conditions, conduct preventative actions and rescue people in distress,

provide modified first aid and assistance to people in trouble on the beach and in

the water, work with other emergency services to assist with incident response away

from patrolled locations or outside patrol hours.”

North Coast Force set to launch into representative season

By Aiden BURGESS

AFL North Coast’s top junior representative program is preparing to launch into 2022, as the North Coast

Force head into the new rep season with the support of the QBE Sydney Swans Academy.

Nominations are now open for all players wanting

to be involved in the North Coast Force representative program which also doubles as the first step in the Sydney Swans Academy talent pathway.

q Oscar McKenzie takes a mark for the North Coast Force.

Trials for this year's North Coast Force teams will be held on Sunday, 6 March, and Sunday, 27 March at Richardson Park in Sawtell.

Players will be selected for the Force’s under 13s, 15s, and 17s teams, as well as the Youth Girls (under 17s) squad.

The Force will also look to add a Youth Girls under 13s representative team for the first time once the season gets underway.

The North Coast Force teams will represent their region at both the Hunter carnival in June and the Coffs Harbour carnival in July.

Players need only attend one trial session, but those that choose to attend both will have double the opportunity to impress selectors.

The trials are open to

any player within the age groups that will play with an AFL North Coast club in 2022.

The North Coast Force recently partnered with the Sydney Swans Academy, a link which Community Football Manager Paul Taylor said was an exciting incentive for players to be involved.

“For the first time this year, players in the North Coast Force rep program will have the chance to impress the coaches and be invited to Swans Academy sessions in Sydney,” he said.

“The Force can now set players on the path to National Championships, NAB League, and the National Draft.

Coffs Harbour to host Australian Sikh Games

By Aiden BURGESS

COFFS Harbour is set to host the biggest annual sporting event on the Australian Sikh community calendar.

The 34th Australian Sikh Games are scheduled to be held over the Easter long weekend on 15-17 April in various venues across Coffs Harbour.

The Australian Sikh Games are the premier sporting and cultural event for the Australian Sikh community.

The annual event attracts up to 100,000 people over the three days of sporting competition, with 3,500 athletes competing in fourteen different sports.

The Australian Sikh Games are held each year in a different capital city or major regional area, with the event attracting people from across Australia and overseas, including athletes and spectators from Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the U.K. The Sikh Games feature a variety of traditional Indian and Australian sports, with members of 80 Australian

and eleven international clubs taking part.

Coffs Harbour will play host to a number of different sports over the Easter long weekend.

The opening and closing ceremonies of the Sikh Games, as well as the cricket, kabaddi, and soccer events will be held at the Ce.x Coffs International Stadium.

Badminton, basketball, netball and volleyball competitions will be held at Sportz Central, while hockey will be held at the Coffs Coast Sport & Leisure Park.

The venue for the golf competition is yet to be determined.

Other sports to be played at the Sikh Games include athletics, Australian Rules football, tennis, touch football, and tug of war.

Woolgoolga Coffs Harbour Sikh Sports Club committee member Gurinder Bhangal explained to News Of The Area the importance of hosting the Sikh Games.

“The Punjab region of India is renowned for its sporting history and has a reputation for producing

world class athletes,” he said.

“It is no surprise therefore to see that Sikhs have taken their enthusiasm for sport with them across the world.

“The Sikh Games not

only bring together people with a passion for their sport but also represent

an occasion for the wider community to celebrate their cultural identity, as Sikhs and as Australians.

New women’s premier football competition to launch

By Aiden BURGESS

THE region’s best female footballers will now have the chance to play in their own new inter-regional competition.

The Coastal League One Women is set to launch in 2022, and will see

North Coast Football’s top women’s clubs and those from Football Mid North Coast competing against each other on a weekly basis.

North Coast Football clubs who have confirmed their entry include Boambee, Coffs City United,

Urunga, and Sawtell, while Football Mid North Coast is in discussion with potential clubs from Kempsey and Port Macquarie.

The new competition is expected to have six to eight clubs and play 20 or more rounds before finals take place in September, with the

season kicking off in early April.

The new Coastal League One Women competition comes on the back of the introduction of the men's Coastal Premier League in 2020, with the new women's competition seen as a natural progression towards a Coastal Premier League Women league.

North Coast Football

General Manager Andrew Woodward said the new league would be able to offer a higher-level competition for the female footballers of the region.

“There’s a strong desire for higher-level competition for females in the area, and players tell us they want more variety and better competition,” he said.

“The cancellation has made this year's event mean a lot more not only to the local community, but to all those across Australia due to the long wait.

“We are praying for some dry weather over the Easter period to ensure the event is successful.”

By Aiden BURGESS

SAWTELL rising star Angus Anderson has had his first taste of footy on the biggest stage.

The 18-year-old stepped up to the bright lights and big stage of the AFL, taking the field for the Sydney Swans in their practice match against the GWS Giants in Albury last Friday night.

The former Sawtell/ Toormina Saints star played in two of the last six quarters of the pre-season hit out with the Giants, playing alongside the likes of Swans superstars Lance Franklin and Luke Parker.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Community Football and Competition Manager for Northern NSW Paul Taylor has seen the rise of Anderson first hand, as both a member of the Sawtell/Toormina Saints and the Northern Heat representative program.

He highlighted that Anderson had made an impact in the limited minutes on offer in Albury.

“It was a great opportunity for Angus, he didn’t get a lot of game time but what he did he did really well,” he said.

“He ran hard, he contested well, and he certainly didn’t make any errors, which in a team that got fairly soundly beaten was a little bit of a rarity.”

“We expect the new competition will increase public, media and sponsor interest in the women’s game.”

culmination of a year spent in the club’s feeder system.

Anderson has been a part of the Sydney Swans Academy since last year, which has seen him regularly travel to train in Sydney.

The young midfielder has also played for the Swans in the VFL, which is regarded as the second-best Aussie Rules competition in Australia.

The chance to impress the Swans in the recent practice match could be a lifeline for Anderson’s AFL dreams, after he failed to be picked up in last year’s AFL Draft.

The AFL prospect was the only uncontracted player of the Swans team to feature in the practice match.

Anderson could still make an AFL roster in 2022, through either this month's Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period or the MidSeason Draft in June.

Coffs swimmers have fantastic meet at NSW Country Championships

COFFS Harbour swimmers have had a fantastic meet against the best regional swimmers in the state, bringing home a number of medals and top placings after blitzing times in the pool at the recent NSW Country Championships in Sydney.

Bella Teale swam an absolutely amazing 100m backstroke, winning her first Country Championship gold in the 14 years event.

She narrowly missed a medal in her 100m breaststroke placing fourth and improved her ranking in her 50m freestyle to earn her second top 10 finalist placing.

Her younger sister Layci Teale swam exceptionally well earning her first ever Country Medal, a silver in the 12 years 100m backstroke.

himself a silver medal in the 13 years 100m backstroke, narrowly missing his first National Age Qualifying time.

Sylas Phillips was the fastest 15-year-old in the boys combined 15-16 years 100m backstroke, and earned fourth in the event overall.

His younger sister Piper Phillips also placed top ten in a gutsy 400m freestyle, placing fifth in the 12 years event.

Lilly Geddes, Andrea Thomson, and Mitchell Hickey also earned finalist placings.

Harley Teale, Remi Ogilvy, and Cale Ogilvy all competed at the event, which was their first NSW Country Championships.

Between them they swam some incredible personal bests, with Harley earning a top ten finalist ribbon placing fifth in the 10 years 50m freestyle.

The star swimming squad’s coach Sarah-Jane Weir shared with News Of The Area the immense pride she felt in their achievements over the 18 months she had guided them, with the Country Championships being the last meet she would coach them.

“I am exceptionally proud of this amazing group of young people and all they have achieved not just at this championship but over the last 18 months I have been their coach,” she said.

“It has been my absolute pleasure and privilege to be a part of their swimming story, from new qualifying times for Country, State and Nationals, NSW Championship medals and finalist placings, national finalists, these achievements are phenomenal for regional athletes and a credit to each athlete’s hard work and dedication.

“It was really sad to see the meet cut short, especially given this was my last meet with our team, as I have been offered a position by Swimming NSW, as National Age Coach in Western Sydney and I took up my new position last week.

Swimming has been a passion of mine for most of my life so to be able to share that with these athletes has been a dream come true.

Wet weather impacts Coffs Harbour sport

By Aiden BURGESS

THE region’s recent downpour has had an impact on Coffs Harbour sport, affecting both the indoor and outdoor alike.

Last weekend’s final round of the Coffs Harbour District Association’s season before the finals was washed out due to the recent deluge, the latest in the majority of rounds this season which had to be cancelled due to the wet summer.

This weekend’s semi-finals also look set to be washed out if the heavy rain persists.

Local football matches were also affected last weekend, with the three Australia Cup matches scheduled for Sunday at the Coffs

Coast Sport & Leisure Park synthetic fields having to be postponed.

Indoor sports were also not immune to the recent downpour.

The latest round of the Coffs Harbour Basketball Association’s high school and primary competitions had to be cancelled due to the buildup of moisture on the playing surface.

A number of other Coffs Harbour sports had to be cancelled or postponed due to the wet weather, including the Coffs Harbour Motorcycle Club’s first dirt track event of the year last weekend.

In addition to the cancellation of a number of matches, the wet weather has meant those training for the upcoming winter sport seasons have been unable to train at various sporting grounds due to their closure.
