Project Manager for builders Lipman Pty Ltd Mr Mike Zucker advised News Of The Area that, “The accommodation building is designed specifically to cater to both young and older people in the same facility but still allowing them separation and catering to their differing needs.

“Our work is progressing well despite constraints and pandemic restrictions, and we are moving on to roofing and cladding, and then the fit-out, and we are pushing to be completed by the end of the year.”

Mission Australia Regional Manager for Housing Charoah Evans said, “This Centre is part of our continued commitment to help

end homelessness and ensure people and communities across the Mid North Coast can thrive. The Mission Australia Centre is a purpose-built community hub.

“It will be an inclusive, vibrant centre offering a range of tailored community services designed to address the needs of the local community.”

The centre fit-out will include workshop areas, consultation rooms, culturally

sensitive spaces and artefacts, and space for community activities, and has been informed by community feedback regarding what is required.

Mr Singh stated that Mission Australia’s commitment and ongoing work was more important than ever in the current housing situation, and that he was pleased that the funds from the State Governments Infrastructure Grants Program would go to assisting in the provision of essential local community infrastructure and services.

Waste Debate FROM Page 1 Harbour City Council’s meeting on Thursday 22 July.

In January 2021, Council took sole control of the mixed waste organic output (MWOO) transport and disposal process for the first time from the Biomass Solutions Facility at Englands Road, and Council worked with local transport firms and Tamworth Council to dump the waste in landfill there.

Council has now voted to reduce its transport and disposal costs of MWOO by 49%, resulting in an annual saving of $1.2 million to an expected annual cost of $1.3 million, by transporting its MWOO to South East Queensland for disposal for a period of one year.

Mixed Waste Organic Output is matter from residents' red rubbish bins collected fortnightly

by Council.

The current Red Bin system produces approximately 11,000 tonnes of MWOO annually.

Cr Sally Townley spoke passionately against the transport of Council’s organic mixed waste to Queensland at the Council meeting.

“When I read this item in the agenda I was actually quite shocked and even horrified that this was even on the table, that we were proposing to enter into a contract to transport our MWOO to Queensland,” Cr Townley expressed.

“There’s so much wrong with this idea that I hardly even know where to begin.

“I don’t know why we would be committing to something like this when we’ve got another option on the table where we’re going into partnership with another public authority (Tamworth Council), we’re actually being a little bit serious about resource recovery, not just driving giant trucks up to Queensland,

Friday, 6 August 2021

arrangement until we’ve got something way better.”

Mayor Denise Knight questioned whether the waste trucks would be classed as an ‘essential service' in the case of border closures between Queensland and NSW. However, Council staff confirmed that waste transport would be considered an essential service.

“If there was a restriction on freight movements, waste would be one of the last affected,” Council staff stated.

Cr Townley also said Nambucca and Bellingen Councils should be a part of the Council decision on the issue because “it’s their rubbish too”.

“I also believe that since the cost is going to be passed on directly to Nambucca and Bellingen Councils that they should have a seat at the table; it doesn’t seem fair for us to make these decisions,” she stated.

“We don’t have all the information, we don’t have all the players.

“It’s only based on one thing, and that’s money.”

Cr George Cecato said in both situations Council was putting its waste in holes “just in different locations”.

“I would like to see more recycling myself, but I look at this purely from a business sense, we look at putting it in that hole or we look at q Despite Cr Sally Townley’s passionate pleas putting it in this hole,” for Council to continue trucking its waste to Cr Cecato said.

Tamworth, councillors have voted to transport it Cr Cecato liked further to South East Queensland for disposal for that the contract was the next year. Photo: Coffs Harbour City Council. only for one year.

“This gives us

backing them up to a giant hole in the ground and tipping out this stupid product that we shouldn’t even be making.”

Cr Townley even questioned the legitimacy of Council transporting its waste to Queensland and dumping it there.

“I’ve got real questions about whether we’re proposing something that’s actually contrary to law,” Cr Townley stated.

“There could be COVID, border restrictions, all kinds of things, this is a terrible idea and we should defer and just continue our

www.newsofthearea.com.au

a definite saving of $1.2 million dollars,” Cr Cecato said of the South East Queensland option.

“This will not only save us money, it’s only one year, it will give us plenty of time to get together with our colleagues and come up with a solution.

“I’ll take the saving, thankyou.”

Cr Michael Adendorff called on councillors to “focus on the immediate saving” and save the complicated arguments for later.

“It is not the most effective way to go about it, there’s no doubt about it, I don’t think it’s a good long term solution but in the interim I’m spending ratepayers money on a question of morals,” Cr Adendorff said.

“The waste has to be dumped somewhere whether it’s here, whether it’s in Queensland, whether it’s in Tamworth, it has to be dumped somewhere.

“When it comes to a call on whether something is right or wrong, I will make the call on the basis of money.”

Cr Paul Amos said the councillors needed more information on the issue, and questioned whether there was a better option.

“Yes, we might be able to take our rubbish to Queensland now, it might be a $1.2 million dollar saving on a predicament we are in, but maybe there’s a $2 million dollar saving out there to be had,” Cr Amos said.

“I can’t say if there is or not because I’ve been shielded by the information to make a call on this.”

Council resolved five votes to three to accept a tender from Crampo’s Tippers Pty Ltd for waste transport for $55 per tonne, and accept a tender from Veolia Pty Ltd for waste disposal for $58.80 per tonne to South East Queensland for a period of one year from 30 August 2021.

Crs Denise Knight, Michael Adendorff, John Arkan, George Cecato and Keith Rhoades voted for accepting the tenders and Crs Paul Amos, Tegan Swan and Sally Townley voted against.

Another Sawtell Stalwart Passes

By Andrew VIVIAN

A POWERHOUSE of the Sawtell community passed away earlier this month, at the age of 94.

Betty Hobbs grew up in Earlwood in Sydney, and moved to Sawtell in 1950.

Ms George, as she was then, trained the Sawtell Surf Life Saving Club march past group, which brought her together with Allen (Nugget) Hobbs, one of the founding members of the Club.

Mr Hobbs sold his sawmill on the beach side of Eighteenth Avenue St., and they moved to First Avenue to run a gift shop.

Later, the family moved to Circular Avenue, where Mrs Hobbs lived for the rest of her life.

She had three sons; John, Bill and Allen, who lived for only one day.

There is hardly an organisation in Sawtell that has not benefited from Mrs Hobbs’ energy.

She was a Life Member of the Sawtell RSL Sub Branch Women’s Auxiliary and was given an appreciation award for 50 years then, this year, another for 65 years, having been a foundation member, Secretary, Treasurer and Publicity Officer.

She also was an office bearer in other RSL sub committees.

Mrs Hobbs helped organise fundraisers for

the RSL Sub Branch, Surf Life Saving Club and Meals on Wheels such as raffles, street stalls, car boot sales, mannequin parades, serving Anzac Day lunches in the RSL and holding Anzac and Poppy Day Sales.

When Torchbearers for Legacy was formed in 1967, she was the first President and continued in office for six years.

She instigated the very successful ‘Back to Sawtell Week’ held in September 1981.

At the Surf Club, as well as training the march past, Mrs Hobbs was involved with nippers every Sunday and was President of the Ladies’ Auxiliary.

The male and female Club Member of

q Betty Hobbs moved to Sawtell in 1950. the Year awards are named after Mr and Mrs Hobbs.

Mrs Hobbs also served as Secretary to the Sawtell Women’s Bowls Club and Secretary of the Reserve Management Committee.

She was an obvious choice for the third Sawtellian of the Year in 1989.

As well as her extensive community work, she somehow found time to work for sixteen and a half years at Woolworths in Coffs Harbour as Service Manager and Section Manager until she retired in 1977.

When Mr Hobbs moved into a nursing home in 2000, she visited him every day, except Sunday, until he passed away in 2003.

Ms Hobbs is remembered with love and affection by all those who knew her.

One of her RSL colleagues said, “We are indeed honoured to have had Betty as a member and a friend.”

THIS week, NSW Health's ongoing sewage surveillance program has detected fragments of the virus that causes COVID-19 in sewage systems in the Newcastle area and on the central coast, mid north coast and central west.

None of these have known cases of COVID-19 living in any of the areas they serve.

The Burwood Beach sewage treatment plant serves about 225,800 people from Newcastle City area and surrounding suburbs of Dudley, Charlestown, Jesmond, Lambton, New Lambton, Mayfield, Elermore Vale, Wallsend, Kotara, Garden Suburb, Adamstown Heights, Kahibah, Highfields, Merewether, Waratah West, Georgetown and Carrington. This is the first detection since April 2021.

The Belmont sewage treatment plant serves about 115,000 people from suburbs including Belmont, Warners Bay, Gateshead, Tingira Heights, Bennetts Green, Jewells, Redhead, Eleebana, Croudace Bay, Valentine, Marks Point, Blacksmiths, Pelican, Swansea, Swansea Heads, and Caves Beach.

The Shortland sewage treatment plant near Lake Macquarie serves about 60,000 people from Cameron Park, Fletcher, Maryland, Shortland, Mayfield West, Stockton, Sandgate, Callaghan, Kooragang, Fern Bay, Minmi, Birmingham Gardens and Fullerton Cove.

The Coffs Harbour sewage treatment plant serves about 57,400 people from the urban areas of Coffs Harbour, while Bonny Hills serves around 7,010 residents of Lake Cathie and Bonny Hills in the Port MacquarieHastings Local Government Area.

NSW Health urges everyone in all of these areas to be particularly vigilant for the onset of symptoms that could signal COVID-19, and if they appear, to immediately be tested and isolate until a negative result is received.

IN June, 30 Bellingen Riverwatch (BR) volunteers and partners gathered to examine and identify the tiny creatures that live in our waterways.

Why? Because 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 was part of a new Macroinvertebrate Monitoring program launched in June - 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 long-term with this program and are seeking funding partners to support this to happen,” said Program Manager, Amy Denshire.

“We’re hoping to build the skills and knowledge in community members, and for these citizen scientists to form the pillars of the program.”

The data from the sites tested last month is now being collated by the team at the National Waterbug Blitz and is planned to form part of a presentation called ‘Can citizen science inform science? - Evaluating results of the Bellingen Riverwatch citizen science program and a parallel government monitoring program’, by BR partners at the International River Symposium on September 28.

“This conference presents a great opportunity to share the successes of the Bellingen Riverwatch citizen science program with the rest of the world,” said Amy. “There is a unique and exciting aspect of Bellingen Riverwatch, where we have four years of scientist and citizen scientist water quality monitoring data collected alongside each other.

“This allows for validation of the data and helps us form recommendations for program refinements.”

The BR macroinvertebrate testing program is planned to take place in May and September of each year with the next round on the 15 and 16 September.

“The testing is very complex and involved and requires a lot of concentration,” said Amy. “But despite this intensity, it is very fun!”

First Nations weaving workshop

By Andrea FERRARI

FIRST nations craftswoman Bindimu is sharing her weaving heritage in a hands-on, instructive workshop on Sunday 8 August.

“This workshop will be held on beautiful Gumbaynggirr country, and we will be weaving with raffia, yucca and native lomandra,” Bindimu told News Of The Area.

“In this workshop you will learn the meditative coil weave as First Nations people have done for many generations.”

The workshop is open to

all, whether experienced or an interested beginner.

“As it’s more of a freestyle workshop, participants will be learning to weave while also choosing whether they want to create a woven bowl, a pair of earrings or whatever their heart desires.

“I’ve actually had someone at my workshops who wove a pair of slip-on shoes,” said Bindimu.

“I’m excited to be here in Garlambirla (Coffs Harbour) and to get more involved in the arts scene here as well.”

Working as a co-producer

of a multidisciplinary arts event in Meanjin (Brisbane) called “CTRL+ALT+DEL” she is intentionally widening the audience outside of the Brisbane/Gold Coast communities.

“I have an online shop where people anywhere can buy my art, handmade jewellery and homewares.

“I also DJ as well, so I’m going to eventually start hosting some small shows.”

For now, it’s weaving that has reconnected Bindimu with her culture.

“Being one of the oldest

crafts on the planet, the importance of weaving, to me, isn’t just to create beautiful things, it’s purpose is also to be functional and sustainable.

“I’m honoured to carry on the fibre work and traditional weaving from my foremothers, and I aim to use my workshops to reconnect the new generation of First Nations people to the practice and give the non-Indigenous communities an appreciation for country and culture through weaving.”

Update on Landfill Gas Emissions at the Englands Road Waste Management Facility The landfill gas detected at the Englands Road Waste Management Facility has fallen significantly after Council put in place several actions. The increase in gas was originally caused by damage to the landfill capping as a result of heavy rainfall events that occurred between February and April this year. The rainfall received was double the average for this time of year, with the elevated landfill gas an unprecedented situation that has not happened previously in the landfill’s operational history.

Corindi flood Brumbies rehomed by local sanctuary BRUMBY horses, rescued from the Corindi floods in March, have all been found new homes by Bellingenbased Save The Brumbies (STB) charity.

“The horses were causing havoc on domestic farms due to fencing being destroyed,” Jan Carter, founder of STB, told News Of The Area.

“They had strayed from the adjoining State Forests.

“Grafton NPWS and Local Land Services didn’t want to euthanise the horses, so they put out a call and we stepped up and took eleven horses,” said Jan. “Quite a few were stallions needing to be gelded, which is quite an expensive job, but

Land Serves paid for gelding all the colts - the first time ever that National Parks and LLS have assisted with the relocation of horses in twenty years of STB’s work; a great help which we are very appreciate of.”

The Corindi horses were transported to the main sanctuary at Armidale where they were “sorted, handled, vaccinated, gelded, vetchecked, then offered readyfor-saddle to the public”, said Jan. The adoption process is designed to match horses with homes and only where there is already another horse, or herd.

“Daily, family contact is essential.

“Adoption is not for the

person who agists and only rides a couple of times a week.”

Prospective owners spend a day or two, at no charge, at the sanctuary cottage, familiarising themselves with the horses.

“That way they make the right choice, and we make the right choice.

“As an animal welfare charity, we look after all horses, therefore we receive rescue horses which will never be suitable for riding and so we set up Save The Brumbies Sponsored Horses program, and it’s a small herd of these horses which live on our Bellingen sanctuary.”

Sponsorship gives visiting rights, including staying at the sanctuary for the weekend where Jan talks with the children (often it’s youngsters sponsoring through their family) about

HEALTHY North Coast say the NSW Government’s redirection of State supplies of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines from rural and regional areas to Year 12 students in Sydney will not affect local GP and Commonwealth Vaccination Clinic allocations, but does reduce the overall supplies currently available to our region Healthy North Coast is helping to deliver the national COVID-19 vaccination rollout on the North Coast.

This includes working closely with the State-run local health districts (LHDs) and frontline health services to ensure the most up-to-date information is shared.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Julie Sturgess said Australia’s vaccine rollout had gone through several changes since its launch in February this year.

“This isn’t surprising given the enormity of the program,” Ms Sturgess said.

“The program has had to adapt to new information about the vaccines from authorities like the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), and support our most vulnerable populations, which has included prioritising vaccine supply to outbreak areas.

“It’s also not surprising that there is some confusion and frustration in our community because of these changes.

“Our frontline health services and staff are working around the clock to adjust to the changing nature of the rollout, supporting increased testing and vaccinations, as well as continuing to provide non-COVID services.

“Given the current outbreak in Sydney, it’s

appropriate that the program is reviewed and changes made to help protect those most at risk.

“Despite the temporary reduction in doses this will mean for the North Coast, we, too, continue to prioritise our most vulnerable populations.

“We’re now working with residential aged care facilities and supporting local initiatives through GPs and the two LHDs in our region to vaccinate aged care staff.

“We’re also working with our local health district partners to support people who are experiencing homelessness in our region to get their COVID jabs.”

Ms Sturgess said a mobile service commenced in mid-July and this would improve access to COVID-19 vaccinations for hundreds of people sleeping rough.

News Of The Area, “The main aim of the celebrity degustation dinner is to raise vital funds for patients attending the North Coast Cancer Institute.

more than $25,000 for the patients attending the North Coast Cancer Institute.

“A key part of the event’s success was the opportunity to see a celebrity chef and the chance for the TAFE students to showcase their abilities and work with a renowned chef and for local producers to showcase their produce.”

Cornerstone Conveyancing has attended a number of Can Do events in previous years and have

really stepped up their support; coming on board as the naming-right sponsor for this year’s event.

“Both of our organisations have very similar values in that we support the local community, so it is a great partnership that we look forward to building into the future.

“The Degustation Dinner will be a night not to be missed, featuring delicious local produce, while giving

the local community an opportunity to dress up in their finest and celebrate the fantastic work of the TAFE NSW students.”

Over the last few months, local TAFE NSW hospitality students have created amazing dishes to celebrate Coffs Coast’s local food producers, farmers and fishers.

Manu will select his favourite dishes to create the degustation menu.

The hospitality students receive a fantastic experience as they assist with preparing, cooking and serving the menu – event management students have been hands-on in planning the event.

Date: Thursday 9 September at Osprey restaurant, Coffs Harbour Education Campus on Hogbin Drive.

How To Talk About Climate Change And Not Lose Friends

By Andrea FERRARI

UPSKILLING ourselves to manage climate change conversations with friends, family and colleagues was the focus of Coffs Coast Climate Action Group’s (CCCAG) recent workshop on 29 July.

The ‘How To Talk Climate Change And Not Lose Friends’ workshop sought to equip people so they felt more comfortable having

these conversations.

“We know that most Australians are worried about climate change and want more action to be taken - evidence shows that about eight out of ten of us are concerned,” CCCAG’s Luiisa Rusanen told News Of The Area.

“With extreme weather events like floods and fires becoming more intense here, and around the world, the climate crisis is clearly

becoming more urgent.

“But a lot of people don't understand what needs to be done and not many of us feel comfortable talking about it.

“It can feel socially awkward or inappropriate.

“Some people feel like they need to be 'experts' or they worry that their strong emotions about this big issue will put people off.

“But there are approaches to open up the

conversation in ways that strengthen connections and help build momentum for effective and meaningful action.”

The event included a presentation and discussion of recent social research from Climate Compass, a couple of humorous videos and role play exercises to practice conversations.

Luiisa said that at the conclusion of the workshop, most people said they felt more confident and better prepared to talk to their friends and family about climate change.

“They were excited to feel they could do something about climate change.

“We need more people talking about the climate crisis in order to build support for the solutions.

“Although the climate crisis can feel overwhelming, it gives me hope to see people getting together to take positive, meaningful action in our communities.

“By connecting and inspiring each other, working together, there is so much we can achieve.”

Coffs Coast Climate Change Action Group hopes to offer the workshop again in a few months.

Census To Shine A Light On Homelessness

By Marian SAMPSON

DESPITE lockdowns and all that has been happening in the world it is time to stand and be counted.

The Census in Australia, officially the Census of Population and Housing, is the national census in Australia that occurs every five years.

The Census will be conducted on 10 August.

Five years ago, the 2016 Census showed 116,427 people across the country were without a safe, secure place to sleep at night.

Mission Australia CEO, James Toomey said, “Contrary to common belief, homelessness goes beyond those who we see sleeping on the streets or in their cars – in fact these people who were rough sleeping only made up seven per cent of the 116,000 people who were homeless on Census night five years ago.

“The bigger picture is that most people and families experiencing homelessness are hidden from plain sight.

“We know from the most recent Census data that the majority are living in severely crowded dwellings, couch surfing temporarily with friends or family, or living in crisis accommodation, a shelter, refuge or boarding house.

“To gauge the severity of the problem in 2021 and better understand how COVID-19 and the housing crisis has affected homelessness numbers in Australia, we call on everyone who is living in insecure, unsafe and temporary places to participate in the Census and have their voices counted.

“For the Census data to truly reflect the extent of homelessness, it is important that everyone who is homeless – including those

who may not previously have realised they’re homeless – report their living situation accurately.”

Mr Toomey says people should follow the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ advice to accurately report on their living situation on Census night.

They can do this by reporting their suburb as NONE and if they have no accommodation NONE CRISIS. “This applies to people who are sleeping rough, as well as people who are couch surfing or if they are away from home due to eviction or a family dispute.

Sadly there are people living in our region who will identify this way in the Census.

“By accurately reporting the scale of the homelessness problem in Australia, we can gain a greater understanding

of what actions are sorely needed to end homelessness in our nation altogether.

“There are many reasons why people face homelessness – for some it’s

family breakdown, domestic and family violence, job loss or financial or psychological distress, while for others it’s simply the sheer lack of affordable housing.

“Right now we know that there is a severe lack of available affordable rentals in regional, rural and remote areas."

Racecourse to stay green with recycled water

By David TUNE

COFFS Harbour Racing Club are the beneficiaries of a State Government grant of $500,000 announced by Member for Coffs Harbour Mr Gurmesh Singh on Friday last week.

The funds will allow the Racing Club to install a trackside irrigation system that will use recycled water from the nearby sewage treatment plant.

Racing and Club Manager Mr Tim Saladine told News Of The Area, “This will save us a lot of work, currently setting up and shifting the irrigation to water the track can take up to four days, and this new system will do the same job overnight and help us enhance safety of the track for the 16 racing events that we hold each year.”

The announcement came just a week before the 56th annual Coffs Harbour Gold Cup, held on Thursday August 5, which had sold out the two and a half thousand seats allowed under pandemic restrictions over a

week prior to the event.

Mr Saladine also mentioned that as far as he was aware racing was the only sport in the area that did not stop at all since pandemic restrictions were introduced.

Mr Singh said, “Coffs Harbour Racing Club has a rich and illustrious history, stemming back to 1885, and as the local MP I’m proud to have been able to play a role in making the facility even better.

“This investment from the NSW Government will allow the upgrade to the track’s irrigation system, meaning the club can prepare pristine surfaces for the horses and jockeys.

“This is fantastic news for the people of Coffs Harbour as the flowon effects of these upgrades will reach every corner of our community, as racegoers stay in local hotels, eat at local cafes and shop in local stores.”

The Racing Club expects to call tenders for the project by the end of August with a view to having the work completed before summer.

Affordable/Social Housing Policy a step closer

By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City Council has endorsed a project scope for a future Affordable/Social Housing Policy and will consider allocating $110,000 to progress the policy.

Issues around affordable and social housing in the Coffs Harbour local government area will be addressed during the development of the policy.

Opportunities and constraints to providing affordable and/or social housing will be investigated and a review of case studies undertaken by local governments elsewhere will be carried out.

Due to the current critical lack of affordable housing within the region, an interim policy is proposed to be developed for adoption by Council within four weeks.

Cr Sally Townley spoke in support of the new policy at Council’s meeting on Thursday 22 July.

“Thank you to fellow councillors for supporting this new direction and thanks for the staff for scoping up the project,” Cr Townley said.

q A project scope for a future Affordable/ Social Housing Policy has been unanimously endorsed by Coffs Harbour City councillors.

“I think we all agree it's a huge area and that we do want to try and do what we can towards it.

“I look forward to seeing what comes of it.”

A Council report on the policy noted that homelessness is not included within the scope of the project.

“It is recognised that homelessness in the community is an outcome of issues in housing affordability, housing supply and adequacy of social housing in the region,” the report stated.

“In recognition of this increasingly emerging issue, Council is examining options with regard to homelessness and beginning to work closer with the homelessness service sector to advocate for improving outcomes for the community with regard to homelessness and people at risk of homelessness.”

Councillors unanimously voted to endorse the project scope for the development of an Affordable/Social Housing Policy, and consider the allocation of $110,000 at Council’s next quarterly budget review to progress the development of an Affordable/ Social Housing Policy.

COMPENSATION from the NSW Government to Coffs Harbour City Council for Council’s failed mixed organic waste scheme is being sought by Coffs Harbour councillors.

Cr Paul Amos moved a motion at Council’s meeting on Thursday 22 July that Council enter into negotiations for compensation from the State Government for assurances it provided to Council that encouraged Council to participate in its failed organic waste scheme.

Cr Amos said the scheme had failed at substantial cost to Council and its failure had not been the fault of Council.

“All other participating councils in NSW have received ongoing support to mitigate the financial impact of the failed mixed organic waste scheme,” Cr Amos stated.

“Coffs Harbour Council are unable to influence this outcome and are at a disadvantage until 2027.” q Cr Paul Amos has gained the At Council’s recent meeting, Cr Amos unanimous support of fellow councillors suggested a possible compensation to seek compensation from the State package for a new athletics track.

Councillors call for waste management information

By Emma DARBIN

FRUSTRATION from Coffs Harbour City councillors over a lack of information about Council’s waste management actions has led to councillors unanimously calling for Council to provide a summary of its waste management actions since 2018.

Cr Tegan Swan and Cr Sally Townley moved at Council’s meeting on Thursday 22 July for Council to provide a chronological list of discussions, negotiations, offers, tenders and current contracts between Council and Biomass, Handybin, the EPA, Bellingen Shire and Nambucca Valley Councils and any other relevant stakeholders.

They also called on Council to provide details of its total legal costs, present future waste options currently being investigated, provide a report on the performance of the current bulky goods collection process, and prepare a list of council resolutions relating to waste and a status on their implementation.

Cr Tegan Swan understood that obtaining this information was asking a lot of Council, but stressed that waste management was one of Council’s “core responsibilities”.

“This is really, really important, our future waste, how we’re going to date, where we’re going in the future, the situation we find ourselves in and really

understanding that and what it looks like moving forward is incredibly important,” Cr Swan stated.

“We know there have been some difficulties, we know we are gonna face some challenges in the future, we know that we have a big responsibility to be as sustainable and as innovative with our waste solutions as we possibly can be.

“This is a way that we can know exactly where we’re at and be able to move forward in a positive and constructive way.”

Cr Paul Amos said the call for waste management information by councillors was “born out of frustration”.

“It’s really about councillors not getting any information with regards to the EPA involvement,

www.newsofthearea.com.au the contractor involvement, Bellingen and Nambucca Councils, we have just been blocked continually for I don’t know how long,” Cr Amos stressed.

“All I want to do is get in a room, look people in the eye and actually get all sides of the story so I can make decisions as a councillor, like big ones like transporting our waste to another State.

“I haven’t got the information.”

Cr Sally Townley agreed that councillors hadn’t received enough information and stated she would be writing to the NSW Ombudsman to

q Coffs Harbour City councillors have voted unanimously for Council to provide them with waste management information and actions over the past three years. Photo: Emma Darbin.

investigate this issue if the information wasn’t provided to councillors.

“I agree that there hasn’t been information forthcoming as much as what I would have liked,” Cr Townley stated.

“If a lot of this information isn’t forthcoming I will also be writing to the NSW Ombudsman asking for an investigation from them, but I’m hoping that all of this information will be presented in a reasonably short space of time.

“I would hope that all councillors see the urgency of having all of this information at hand as soon as possible.”

Councillors unanimously voted that Council, from 2018 to present, provide a chronological list of discussions, negotiations, offers, tenders and current contracts between Coffs Harbour City Council and Biomass, Handybin, EPA, Bellingen and Nambucca Councils and other relevant stakeholders.

Council will also provide details of total legal costs, present future waste management options currently being investigated, provide a report on the performance of the current bulky goods collection process, and prepare a list of council resolutions relating to waste and the status of their implementation.

Korora Basin Landcare’s Tree Day Planting

By Andrea FERRARI

KORORA Basin Landcare focused on National Tree Day, this weekend, for their monthly working bee along the Finlays Road bush.

Their tree planting saw 35 trees going in, all gums; Forest Red gum, Grey gum, Bloodwood, Sydney Blue gum and Tallowwoods.

“We’re planting all eucalypts because they are koala friendly,” said Simon Proust, Korora Basin Landcare, known unofficially as the group’s President, because he organises well and knows his stuff.

“This job we’re on here is koala friendly because we have a corridor that’s perfect for attracting them,” he told News Of The Area.

Landcare is a social movement to get people into groups to make an environmental improvement; more than tree planting there’s a range of tasks across weed control, bush regeneration and environmental restoration in our case on crown road reserves and Korora Nature Reserve.

The group meets monthly totalling up over 160 volunteer hours per annum.

Chris Bullen told News Of The Area, “I do

“We’ve been preparing the site over the past few weeks, prepping for the planting today.

“We’ve especially selected this area to plant, as part of our project to link the corridor, filling in the gaps, to attract koalas.

“The corridor goes right up to Bruxtor Park bush, and all the way down to Korora Basin.”

The group of twelve local members of Korora Basin Landcare, have mostly been working in this area since 2006.

Over the years they’ve sighted koalas.

“You see the scratching and scats and then look up,” said Josh Keating q Carol Harris, “Planting trees is giving back to the environment.”

q Simon Proust, Korora Basin Landcare Coordinator has a background in soil conservation and sustainability and Tom Fish is an organic gardener.

q Jeff Tomkinson, Korora resident in the Landcare Group.

this job to reinstate habitat for wildlife; in Cairns where I was before we did it for the cassowaries, and were successful – here it’s for the koalas.”

“These people”, Simon said, sweeping his hand out across the group of doubled-over volunteers, “have a common ethos, they are all sympathetic to climate change”.

“Every tree we plant sucks up CO2

emissions.”

Carol Harris said, “I love being out in the fresh air with other like-minded people; planting trees gives back to the environment – it’s so good to come back and see them growing.”

“For me, it’s care and repair for the environment,” said Jeff Tomkinson.

ETC supports refugee with language barrier to gain employment took over in February 2021.

John was keen and motivated to work, so after completing some English classes, Kylie felt he was ready to start going forward for jobs.

Kylie introduced John to ETC Business Account Manager Kelly Patterson - whose role is to match ETC customers seeking work with local employers looking for workers.

“John had the motivation to work.

“So, I knew I had to pair him up with an employer who supported someone who spoke English as a second language,” said Kelly.

She spoke with Bianca and Ric from Bar Que Sera in Sawtell, who immediately wanted to arrange an interview for John.

“Initially I explained the extent of John’s English levels, because it’s important to always be open and honest with our employers,” said Kelly.

When living in the city, Ric had worked with other non-English speaking employees – so he was open to working with someone who had a language barrier.

John at work.

q John with Bianca and Ric from Bar Que Sera.

ETC organised a phone interpreter to help John complete his interview – Kylie and Kelly also attended for support.

After learning a bit more about him, Bianca and Ric were keen to give John a go and organised a trial as a Kitchen Hand.

After completing the trial, John was offered employment!

Again, an interpreter was organised by ETC to help him with his

onboarding and all the necessary paperwork to officially start work.

“A lot of our migrant customers have strong work ethic – and that’s what employers want!

“They want someone who will turn up and do the job,” said Kelly.

Working through his language barrier, John learnt how to complete his tasks from watching demonstrations – and his employers are also looking

at getting a book of tasks written up for John in his own language to help him progress.

Originally starting off in a casual position, John is now preparing to move into full time employment with Bar Que Sera.

“We absolutely love having John on board, he is such a good worker and a total sweetheart,” said Bianca and Ric. ETC are very proud of John and all that he has

achieved since arriving in Australia.

“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that ETC and my employer have given me,” said John.

Are you an employer looking for staff?

If you would like to speak to someone further about hiring an employee, contact ETC’s Business Relationship Team on 1800 007 400 or drop in to the local office at 80 Grafton Street, Coffs Harbour.

IMAGINE living through decades of civil war and sectarian violence and having to flee your home country to find a safe place to live.

Unfortunately, this is the case for many Burmese refugees including 46-yearold John Thang.

John was resettled with his wife, son, and daughter in Coffs Harbour, and after signing up with Centrelink he was linked with Employment Services Provider ETC for support.

Initially John did not speak any English, so there was a massive language barrier for him to overcome.

His ETC Jobs Advisor Kylie Hampshire organised a phone translator for their appointments, which helped her to understand John’s skills, work experience, and employment goals.

“John worked on his family’s farm from a young age, which is quite common in Burma - they harvested rice, corn and beans,” said Kylie.

Sadly, John’s mother and siblings are still in Burma, and he has not had contact with them since the military

Fire Recovery Walk shows beautiful transformation

By Andrea FERRARI

COFFS BY Nature, Coffs Harbour City Council’s Sustainable Living Program, held a Fire Recovery walk with Nana Glen Landcare at the Coldwater Creek Travelling Stock Reserve (TSR) on 31 July.

The dedicated and passionate volunteers of Nana Glen Landcare have been rehabilitating this unique piece of bush land since 2018, along with caring for the reserve after

the devastating Liberation Trail bushfire that hit the Orara Valley in 2019.

With help from an Environmental Levy grant from Coffs Harbour City Council, the reserve has been transformed into an oasis of native flora and fauna.

The walk included an informative presentation delivered by Landcare volunteer Adam Rees starting with the initial assessment of the weed infested travelling stock reserve, to the rehabilitated

wildlife haven it is today.

The group ventured into the reserve to appreciate the resilience of the bush, observe the revegetation progress, along with a spot of bird watching.

Adam Rees told News Of The Area, “We found some significant old growth habitat trees, including Lowland Swamp Box, Ironbark, Blue Gums and Tallowwood.

“We later learnt that there are over 40 different species of tree, bush and

grasses on this block.

“The site has records of a number of endangered fauna.

“There are recent sightings of the following species within 50 metres of the TSR: Giant barred frog (Mixophyes iteratus), Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus), Glossy black cockatoo, as well as many other vulnerable species.

“The rehabilitation of this reserve, which also serves as a corridor from the Orara River to the Bagawa State Forest to the west, will enhance and connect available habitat for these

species.”

Attendees were also treated to a first look at interpretive signage that will be placed in the reserve to educate visitors on local fauna species including the powerful owl, land mullets, wallabies and rosellas.

“There are no Koalas on this site, but we’re reestablishing their ideal environment for when they do return to our valley.

“We are grateful to Council for their ongoing partnership for this project site, and for helping us with buying equipment, such as a trailer with a water tank and pump,” said Adam.

Coffs Regional Gallery calls for local artist applications

By Andrea FERRARI

LOCAL artists listen up, the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery is calling for expressions of interest from Coffs Coast artists to take part in the opening year of exhibitions at the new Cultural and Civic Space.

“It’s really important that the new Gallery program has good representation of local artists,” Cath Fogarty, Gallery & Museum Coordinator, told News Of The Area.

“We don’t have any set parameters of what an exhibition will look like; we want people to think outside the box, not just paintings on walls but sculptures, ceramics, arts, craft and design,” Cath enthused.

“We want all kinds of local creatives to be part of this new era for the Gallery and the City, showcasing the strong and vibrant creative community that exists here.

“We want the gallery to be an inclusive space with a holistic program of artists of all ages, experience and ability including children, with a diversity of mediums and

creative approaches.”

Cath and her team are keen to see what’s out there locally, being created in groups or by solo artists and to develop a program with a distinctly local flavour alongside touring and other curated exhibitions.

“There might be an artist working in the community that we don’t know about; they could be an emerging or long-standing artist.

“We also really value creativity in kids; they’re our next generation of art makers and art appreciators, we want to provide them with every opportunity to share and value their innate creativity.”

This is a very exciting year of planning and prepping, said Cath.

Artists are invited to submit their expressions of interest through an online process at www.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/ gallery.

Expressions of interest are sought from both individual artists and groups of artists living and working in the Coffs Harbour, Bellingen, and Nambucca LGAs.

Jetty Foreshores works a step closer

By Emma DARBIN

PUBLIC domain works at the Jetty Foreshores and the redevelopment of the TS Vendetta building are one step closer, with Coffs Harbour City Council executing a Development Agreement with Property NSW. In September 2020, the State Government announced $20 million in economic stimulus funding to fast-track essential civil, maintenance and public domain works required for the future of the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshores Precinct.

A total of $5 million is earmarked for the design and implementation of public domain works across the precinct and $15 million has been committed for the design and implementation of essential services.

The scope of the public domain works was announced by the State Government on 7 April 2021 to include the redevelopment of the TS Vendetta building.

The new building will include a cafe, watercraft storage facility and public amenities, as well as accommodation for the TS Vendetta naval cadets.

Construction of the new building is anticipated to begin mid-year and the project is required to be completed by 30 June 2022.

Delivery of this project is being led by the State Government, which prepared a Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshores Community Building Development Agreement to formalise arrangements between Property NSW and Council to deliver the project.

At Council’s meeting on Thursday 22 July, Council agreed to authorise the execution of the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshores Community Building Development Agreement with Property NSW. Council also agreed to write to Property NSW requesting the incorporation of the South Solitary Island Lighthouse optic into the building in a manner that protects and preserves the heritage significance of the optic.

Cr Sally Townley stated at the meeting that the optic “deserves protection and deserves to be seen''.

“The Solitary Islands Lighthouse lens is a key piece of local maritime history,” Cr Townley stated.

Cr Townley said there was a fair bit more work to be done on the project and that it will need to go through the development application process.

“It looks like a redevelopment and a

significant upscale of the existing building,” Cr Townley said.

A Council report on the Jetty Foreshores public domain works stated that the State Government is fast-tracking the works to unlock employment opportunities and economic stimulus for Coffs Harbour in the short-term, while planning continues for the long-term vision of the project.

Chair of the Committee Professor Peter Shergold said students could still receive their results, ATAR

and university offers this year despite written exams being delayed by a week.

“We know students want certainty about their exams, our priority is to limit disruption to HSC students,” Professor Shergold said.

“Our aim is to give students as much clarity as possible so they can focus on their studies, their goals and their personal well being.

“We recognise that students and schools across the state are operating under a variety of different circumstances.”

Professor Shergold said NESA will outline a special

Pandemic restrictions impact on local community theatre productions

By David TUNE PANDEMIC restrictions currently in place that impact on numbers permitted in the audience and on stage have forced two community theatre productions to postpone their performances until next year.

HIT Media Productions ‘Twisted’ show has now been postponed from September (as reported in NOTA 30/7 Edition) to January, running from Thursday 27 to Sunday 30, as a result of audience numbers being restricted at the Conservatorium venue due to the four square metre rule.

Producer and Director Lewis Hackfath has advised NOTA that ticket holders seeking a refund can contact him via email at admin@ hitmedia.com.au.

Lewis said, “I am glad that myself and the team were able to forge ahead and organise alternative dates for the show, the cast have worked incredibly hard to put this together and it would be crushing not to get to see them all perform.”

Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company’s (CHMCC) production of ‘The Wizard of Oz, Young Performers Edition’ has also been postponed from September due to restrictions preventing the entire cast being on stage at the same time to comply with the same rule.

CHMCC President Peter Hodges told News Of The Area, “The company and committee are heartbroken and incredibly disappointed to have to make this decision.

“We looked at a number

20 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

of work-around possibilities, and in the end couldn’t find a workable solution.

“These 38 kids have been working their backsides off for months, not to mention all the time and effort that the director Billie-Jo Dukes and her production team have put in.

“At this stage we are optimistic about bringing this show to the Jetty Memorial Theatre (JMT) stage in May next year.”

Ticket holders will be contacted by the JMT in the short term.

Other local community theatre productions including CHMCC’s ‘Mamma Mia’ in November and CHATS Productions ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ in October are still scheduled to go ahead, and more information and ticket bookings can be found at https://www. jettytheatre.com/buytickets/all-shows/.

illness and misadventure process and any other contingency arrangements needed to ensure equity and fairness for all students.

NESA CEO Paul Martin said the priority for NESA and the school sectors is providing considered advice to students that aligns with the health advice and is fair to the whole cohort.

“The changes to the exam timetables mean all students have some additional time to prepare for exams or complete their project,” Mr Martin said.

“We learnt a lot about our processes in the HSC last

year and I am confident that we can apply those lessons this year.”

Oral language exams have also been rescheduled to start on 14 August.

COVID safe exam practices, including minimising school groups mixing, mandatory masks for everyone except the student during the exam, and Perspex screens will be in place at the oral language exams.

“Markers, many of whom are teachers, have an enormous undertaking ahead of them,” Mr Martin said.

“I want to thank the

teaching profession for all that they have done this year to support students.

“I can assure markers and exam supervisors that their safety, as well as the students, is our priority.”

Fish heart mangroves, mangroves heart fish

By Marian SAMPSON LAST week we celebrated the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, a day set by UNESCO. Mangroves are a valuable asset for the atmospheric carbon they sequester, the protection they provide from tidal surges and for the habitat they offer to a multitude of other organisms, many of which are food for humans.

Unfortunately in some areas where foreshore land has been developed mangrove habitat has been cleared in Port Stephens.

The relationship between fish and mangroves is being uncovered by a range of research projects funded by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC).

Friday, 6 August 2021

Understanding the role mangroves play as habitat for fisheries, can provide greater rationale for their protection.

Commercial species such as Mangrove Jack, Barramundi, Mud Crabs and Banana Prawns, rely on Mangroves as their nursery habitat.

Locally Bream, Flathead, Blue Swimmer Crabs and Mud Crabs use the mangroves as nursery habitats.

A 2020 FRDC-funded study highlighted the role of mangroves as they support the productivity of prawn fisheries around NSW’s Wallis Lake.

The study used a methodology known as natural capital accounting which can be used to value the contribution of natural assets such as mangroves.

q Mangroves provide an excellent barrier to foreshore erosion as well as creating the perfect environment for fish nurseries. Photo: Marian Sampson.

Environmental scientists Dr Becky Schmidt from CSIRO and Dr Ian Cresswell from the University of Newcastle developed this methodology from the business-focused Natural Capital Protocol and the UN’s System of Environmental Economic Accounting, to determine the connections

between ecosystem assets, society and the economy.

The research shows effective management of the whole system requires catchment and water management alongside fisheries management, so the direct impacts of both terrestrial and water-based users on the shared natural

capital in the estuary can be considered.

Earlier projects, also funded by the FRDC, unravelled the complicated relationships between fishery productivity and estuarine habitats in three NSW estuaries and developed tools to understand the mosaic of

habitat types, including mangroves, utilised by different species.

Australia is home to seven per cent of the world's mangroves covering about 11,500 km2.

If we understand it better then we have a greater chance of protecting it and the life it supports.

Orara River Rehabilitation Project facts

By Andrea FERRARI

CONFLICTING messages on social media, about the care of the Orara River, is causing division amongst locals.

The Orara River Rehabilitation Project, started in 1997 as a result of community concern at the rapid decline in the health of the river, has been very successful in greatly improving the health of the river system.

“Large numbers of clumps of camphor laurel trees were falling into the river and it

had become impossible to paddle a canoe along the river,” said Ron Smith, a longtime volunteer with the Orara River Rehabilitation Project.

“There were many extensive bank erosion sites, and a large, tree-strangling, vine weed species called cats claw creeper had invaded large sections of the river.

“Large scale gravel extraction to feed the rapid development of Coffs Harbour added to stream bank erosion.”

The camphor laurel was introduced into the valley

in 1901 when eight local primary schools were each gifted six camphor laurel trees by the Government, to plant as shade trees.

These trees thrived and by the end of the 20th century, they had grown big and bushy, leaning out over the water to get more light.

“As they are shallowrooted, growing in soft soil, the wind’s force blowing on their large head topples them into the river, where they remain for years, causing log jams and collecting on bridges as consecutive floods move them downstream.

“Between 1997 and 2010 a large number of camphor

laurel trees were poisoned using Roundup and trunk frill method.”

Over the last 25 years tens of thousands of local rainforest species have been planted along the river and creek banks and are now well

established in many areas.

Just under fifty percent of the stream bank within the Coffs Harbour LGA has had some degree of restoration work carried out and just over half still requires rehabilitation, which

is only carried out where landholders are willing to be part of the project.

Lloyd Foster from Coffs Harbour Bushland Regeneration Group who has been working the Orara River Committee since 1996 said, “Research since 2000 by Judy Davies on macroinvertebrates (waterbugs) showed that camphor laurel leaf litter is very poor habitat for waterbugs with camphor oil being slightly toxic to them, with only the most pollutiontolerant bugs inhabiting camphor-dominated areas.

“This then impacts the food chain, including platypus and Australian bass, which rely on waterbugs for food.”

Nature Photography Competition calls for entries

By Andrea FERRARI

CALLING all local amateur photographers who enjoy taking images of nature such as landscapes, seascapes, animals, insects and flora, as entries open for the 17th Annual C.ex Coffs Camera Club Nature Photography Competition.

Michael Woltschenko, club member co-ordinating the competition, told News Of The Area, “This is not only an opportunity for local amateur photographers to gain experience in entering a photography competition but also the opportunity to have their image put on display in a National Gallery.

“The National Cartoon Gallery will provide frames q

and lighting and the images will be on display in the Gallery from October 8th31st - how great is that.

“I enjoy taking photos of nature and find that there is always an interesting subject to be found when walking outside with a camera.

“Sometimes a landscape may catch my eye, other times it could be a bird flying past, an interesting insect or a tiny, beautiful fungi which can be made more visible using a macro lens.

“All entries in our competition are judged independently by three photography judges.

“As well as technical aspects such as correct exposure and clarity, judges also look for the important

story-telling element in an image depicting nature.

“Examples of story-telling would be an animal feeding, a wave crashing on a shoreline or a dramatic sunset over a landscape.”

Michael says you do not have to own a specialised expensive camera to take a great image of nature.

“In previous years, we have had some excellent images entered which were taken on entry level, pointand-shoot cameras as well as mobile phone cameras.

“Our camera club is hoping to once again, receive a large number of entries to showcase the fascinating world of nature as viewed through the lens of a camera.”

Neighbours At Odds Over Ridge

By Andrew VIVIAN

RESIDENTS of the Summit Estate, up behind the Big Banana, are in dispute over a 10m stretch of land along Pinnacle Way. Advertisements for the original sale of land refer to “no neighbour along your rear boundary” in Pinnacle Way, and one resident has documents that indicate that the ridge along the street has been covered by a covenant to protect it since 1945.

However, a disagreement has arisen because two property owners in the neighbouring Aspect Way have constructed driveways across the land which, according to disaffected residents, is communal land.

Friday, 6 August 2021

News Of The Area has been informed that the Aspect Way owners lost a motion to access Pinnacle Way at a residents’ meeting One of the owners then sought and received permission from the estate managers for a temporary driveway to investigate construction feasibility.

An excavator was brought in and two driveways were constructed.

In doing so, trees that according to residents are protected, have been destroyed.

According to unhappy residents, the estate residents have been offered $50,000 for lighting repairs and landscaping in the estate in exchange for the free use of land worth hundreds of

thousands of dollars.

The ridgeline can be seen from many places in Coffs Harbour and is a local

landmark.

Rob Gam joins Together We’ll Fix It Council Election Team

By Andrea FERRARI

ROB Gam, of the long-standing Coffs business Gam family, is the latest candidate to join Rodger Pryce’s ‘Together We'll Fix It’ team for the upcoming Coffs Harbour City Council election.

“Since having my international wings ‘clipped’ by COVID, and being grounded back home in Coffs constantly for the last 18 months, I have had the chance to spend quality time with family and friends, and to a greater extent the wider community through recent work in hospitality,” Rob told News Of The Area.

“Coffs is on the brink of booming again, as it did in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and needs positive direction, and appreciation of its history to expand effectively, fairly and

honestly.

“In a major airline, we learn from the accidents of the past and success stories, to enhance our own experience so that we are able to deal with any threats that may arise, and safely navigate to destination.”

“In conversations with my father (retailer to commercial and residential developer in Coffs - Doug Gam) I became very aware of the difficulties, and, at times, unnecessary hurdles faced in developing and creating projects that were good for the town and community.

“A council should ‘represent’ the people of the LGA, with a fairer distribution of ratepayers funds.”

Rob says he advocates for transparency when it comes to financial management decisions and future planning, especially

“Our future is potentially incredibly bright, but needs a better direction than the lagging behind of recent times; to propel the potential of our geographical position and stunningly unique terrain, where mountains meet the beaches.

“I believe that if we want our town to be the best, we need to tap into the best, which is the wealth of experience within our community,” Rob urged.

Resident concern over Council’s Emerald Beach Concept Plan

By Emma DARBIN

LONGTIME Emerald Beach residents Steve Walsh and Steve Tucker are calling out Coffs Harbour City Council on its ‘poorly designed’ concept plan for the town's sole National Parks reserve, which they say is misrepresentative to the community.

The reserve is part of the Coffs Coast Regional Park and forms a gateway to the Solitary Islands Marine Park, and is jointly managed

by Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Locals have been calling on Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service to help protect the grassed area of the reserve over many years after it became used as an unofficial community car park, overnight camping spot and even a place where locals would undertake repairs on their cars, causing

extensive damage to the area.

In the last month, the reserve has been bordered off by temporary rock barriers placed there by the National Parks and Wildlife Service to keep cars and caravans off the reserve to prevent it from further damage.

After four years of planning, Council has recently released its Draft Concept Plan for Emerald Beach Reserve which includes designated parking bays, seating space, a floating boardwalk, a beach shower, tables and seats, a new playground, a bbq, a new toilet block and an open lawn area.

However, Emerald Beach residents Steve Walsh and Steve Tucker say Council’s concept plan effectively cuts the existing grassed reserve area in half.

As part of the plan, the

main road into Emerald Beach, Fiddaman Road, will be relocated west into the grassed area of the reserve, splitting the reserve in two.

Mr Walsh said local children play soccer and football on the reserve and that it’s also used annually for the town’s Emerald Beach Fair.

“There’s no other grassed areas within 10 to 15kms of here for the kids to hit a cricket ball or play football,” Mr Walsh stressed.

“It was an area where the community could gather.”

Mr Walsh is calling on Council to show local residents properly designed

concept plans for the reserve, which he says he was able to get professionally drawn up in just one day.

“It was something that a 2 year old would have done a better job of,” Mr Walsh said of Council’s concept plan.

“And you’re expected to make a decision based on that.”

Both men fear that after four years of community campaigning to get the community reserve area upgraded, locals will just accept Council’s plans for the reserve area.

“What you see is not what you’re getting, it doesn’t represent what they are doing,” the men stated.

“You get four weeks after four years to comment on this plan; you can’t expect people to make proper decisions.

“They’re trying to rush this plan through.”

Mr Walsh is urging the

dvertising been this AFFORDABLE for you!

local community to look at his professionally designed concept plan of what Council has planned for the reserve area.

“It needs to be presented to the people properly, I just want to tell the people what’s going on,” Mr Walsh said.

“The big question is do you want a reserve that is totally unusable.”

A Council spokesperson said Council had sent out three updates to local residents during the public exhibition of the Emerald Beach Draft Concept Plan and that Council had responded to any queries about the plan to provide residents with further clarity on it.

Mr Walsh and Mr Tucker said they were under the impression that Council was going to present more than one plan for the community to decide on, and they said Council never offered an

option of leaving the reserve “as is”.

“There has never been an option of leaving it as is and doing it up,” Mr Walsh said.

“I'm 100% in favour of doing what the residents want and leaving it.”

“There’s nothing wrong with leaving it as it is; now they're cutting it in half.”

A Council spokesperson said the decision to produce one concept plan was endorsed at a community meeting on 22 October 2019 and that this had been communicated to the broader community via progress updates on the project.

Public submissions on the Emerald Beach Reserve Draft Concept Plan close at 5pm today (Friday 6 August) and can be made on Council’s Have Your Say page on its website at https:// haveyoursay.coffsharbour. nsw.gov.au/emerald-beach.

Bishop Druitt College opens the Garra-Garraji Dance Studio

AFTER more than two years in the making, Bishop Druitt College is pleased to open the doors to the Garra Garraji Dance Studio to all students, whether they’re first time dancers or striving to become professional dancers.

Named for the Gumbaynggirr word for ‘movement and dance’, this purpose-built facility has been developed with the most advanced technology in flooring, light and sound, and is a first for the Coffs Coast region.

We’re very proud of our newest resource, the Garra-Garraji Dance Studio,” said Nick Johnstone, Principal of Bishop Druitt College.” Whether it’s movement in PE or dance class, or through the high performance Dance Academy, this exciting resource, combined with our teaching and learning philosophies, will help our students to be the best that they can be.

BDC dance teacher, Hannah Johnstone said: “Already with the new space we’ve seen such an improvement in culture

towards dance at the school. Having a specific space to run the dance courses allows us to reach new limits with dance.”

Year 11 student, Teo Ross: “It’s a safe space. The acoustics are amazing, and compared to other studios that I’ve been to, this amazing Tarkett (flooring) with the spring boards helps with jumping, turning and rolling. I’m used to dancing on wooden floors or a regular stage, but this floor moves with you, and supports you - it lifts you up and makes you jump higher and the rolls more comfortable.”

Year 5 student, Adelaide Robinson: “The dance studio is amazing, I love how when I go to do a roll I don’t smack my knees on it.

Year 8 student, Jaela Hibbard: “The studio is amazing, with natural light and the floor is probably the best floor I’ve ever danced on…. Little kids in primary school will get to use this, and they’re very lucky!”

We look forward to welcoming BDC families to the campus in the future to be able to view this wonderful facility first-hand.

Cattle producers set for bumper spring CATTLE producers are expected to experience the best spring in recent memory, according to Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) latest Australian Cattle Industry Projections.

MLA’s Market Information Manager, Stephen Bignell, said the outlook was encouraging with a positive spring expected for many eastern states’ producers.

“With a favourable

three-month weather outlook signalling a strong spring, average adult carcase weights are set to rise significantly leading to higher weight gain,” Mr Bignell said.

“Carcase weights have been revised 11kg higher to average 311.7kg and slaughter will remain depressed, with the 2021 volume expected to hit 6.3 million head.

“On the back of

improved carcase weights, production has been revised higher despite slaughter declining.

“Total production is being forecast to 1.96 million tonnes cwt, highlighting Australia’s ability to maximise beef output despite low supply.”

Mr Bignell said the national herd is estimated to reach 26 million head this year, 5% above 2020 levels.

“Currently there is an abundance of feed which is encouraging stock retention.

“This tight supply is being reflected in lower saleyard throughput, reinforcing that the national herd rebuild is well underway,” Mr Bignell said.

“Slaughter is forecast to drop this year on the back of the national herd rebuild as producers retain more stock however it is expected to pick up slightly toward the end of the year as more cattle come off

THE public submission period for the review of the Dairy Industry Code has been extended until 29 August 2021.

Minister for Agriculture and Northern Australia David Littleproud said the two-week extension would

allow more input from dairy farmers, processors, and industry groups.

“Based on feedback, we’ve extended the public submission period to allow more people to have their say on the Dairy Industry Code,” Minister

Littleproud said.

“Extending the submission period will allow greater opportunity for everyone to have their say despite impacts of COVID shutdowns.

“This is part of the first formal review process for

the Dairy Industry Code.

“The review will play a critical role in assessing whether the code is operating as intended and delivering the outcomes the dairy industry needs.

“The mandatory Dairy Industry Code was

feed.”

In relation to prices, rain events remain the key indicator of market performance.

“The industry EYCI price predictor has the EYCI sitting at 874c/kg at the end of 2021,” Mr Bignell said.

“In line with the astronomical lift in young cattle prices seen last week, the National Medium Cow Indicator has risen 40c year-on-year, or 13%, to sit at 308c, with the National Heavy Steer Indicator up 100c, or 16%, to sit at 412c/kg lwt.”

Mr Bignell said globally, as economies continue to

recover from COVID-19, demand for Australian beef should also improve.

“COVID-19 continues to disrupt beef trade and sales in many Asia-Pacific nations, however economic growth rates are forecast to gradually lift, maintained by improved vaccination rates in developed markets and improved consumer sentiment supporting beef consumption and import demand,” Mr Bignell said.

By Manny WOOD

Superfund exercises discretion against member’s wishes

DAVID has been living with his de facto wife for 10 years.

He has two daughters to a previous relationship and his partner has three daughters of her own.

As part of his estate planning, David executes a non-binding death benefit nomination, leaving the whole of his superannuation to his two daughters equally.

When David unexpectedly passes away, the superfund writes to all of the parties, informing them that because the nomination was “nonbinding”, the fund will decide on how the superannuation is to be divided and asks them to provide information and identification in support of their position.

The superfund identifies David’s partner, his youngest daughter and the youngest stepdaughter as being financially dependent upon him at the date of his death and although the fund acknowledges that the eldest daughter and the other stepdaughters have standing to make a claim, decides that because they were not financially dependent on David at the date of his death, they had no expectation to receive any provision from his superannuation.

Despite the fact that David recorded his wishes to the effect that his two children were to receive his super, the fund decides to pay 65% of the superannuation to the de facto spouse, 25% to the youngest daughter and only 10% to the eldest daughter.

David’s eldest daughter refers the superfund’s decision to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) and statements and submissions are filed by all concerned.

A year after David’s death, AFCA affirms the superfund’s decision, accepting that the 10% “token” payment was fair and reasonable in the circumstances.

It is important to record your wishes in a “binding” nomination and that you review your nomination regularly.

If YOU would like a particular issue addressed, please email Manny at manny.wood@ticliblaxland.com.au or call him on (02) 6648 7487.

DEAR Jasminda,

I AM so sick of hearing about Coronavirus every day.

It is like a never-ending disaster movie.

How do we cope?

Mrs Helen P Dear Helen,

Homelessness Week

DEAR News Of The Area,

WHETHER you see them or not, they are there.

As we enter Homelessness Week (1-7 August), every night there are more than 116,000 people who are homeless and don’t have somewhere safe or secure to sleep – including 37,715 in NSW. There are many reasons why people face homelessness – for some it’s family breakdown, domestic and family violence, job loss or financial pressures, while others have fallen through the cracks of our mental health system.

At Mission Australia, we hear the cries for help on the frontline. Many of our services are at capacity, with social housing waitlists ballooning.

There simply aren’t enough safe, secure homes to house people.

That shouldn’t be the case in a nation like ours.

We anticipate August’s 2021 Census will show an increase in homelessness, yet our Federal Government still has no national plan to end homelessness in Australia.

I encourage everyone to join me and the thousands of others who are calling on

political leaders near and far to make the changes needed to end homelessness.

Please also consider signing up to the Everybody’s Home campaign to call for solutions to end homelessness at everybodyshome.com.au.

There was a distinct lack of leadership in the Federal Budget – we need to do better.

Regards, Jesse TAYLOR, Community Development Officer, Mid North Coast NSW, Mission Australia Housing.

Council Catch-Up

By Bellingen Shire Council DESPITE the challenges we face in our Shire from the new ‘normal’ way of living with COVID-19, we’re all focused on working together towards a better and brighter future, and that’s why a variety of exciting projects and initiatives were endorsed at this week’s Council Meeting.

For example, Council has invested more than $1,694,000 of Fixing Country Roads and Bridge Renewal Program funds to replace the old single lane timber bridge at the start of Coramba Road with a new two-lane concrete bridge and pedestrian pathway.

The old timber bridge was nearing the end of its design life, so replacing it means we’ll avoid having to place load limits on the bridge and expensive ongoing

maintenance costs.

That way, the 500 plus vehicles that use the bridge daily can continue to travel safely well into the future.

At Dangar Falls, works on the new viewing platforms and car park were recently completed and over the coming weeks you’ll also see works finish up on the lower walking track and the installation of new interpretive signage throughout the area as well.

Council has also secured more funding to upgrade the children’s playground area and the footpaths that connect the playground to the viewing platforms, toilet block and picnic areas so it’ll be easier for the disabled, elderly, families and children to enjoy their visit to the falls. $39,000 of Council’s Community Support, Event and Creative Placemaking

funds were also awarded to be spent locally to support events, activities and our creative community in a variety of ways, so our Shire’s villages are bright and attractive places to call home and visit.

Some of the fantastic projects that received funding include an upgrade for the canteen at the Urunga Surf Lifesaving Club, supporting the ever-popular Dorrigo Folk & Bluegrass Festival and setting up an exciting Pop-Up Art Gallery Studio to bring art back to our Shire’s streets.

To find out more about what happened at last week’s Council meeting and to stay up to date with what’s coming up at the next meeting, simply click here to go to Council’s new website at https://beta. bellingen.nsw.gov.au/YourCouncil/Council-Meetings/ Minutes-and-agenda.

IT is overwhelming, isn't it.

Day in, day out.

Waiting for 11am, which used to be reserved for morning tea and perhaps a piece of cake but is now the hour when we wait for the pressers and the politicians to announce the latest set of figures.

It can feel quite relentless, so instead of my usual cynicism and devil-may-care attitude, I've decided to offer the advice I'm trying to stick to, which has been gleaned from a range of different sources.

1. Limit the amount of time you listen to the news.

This may seem a weird thing to recommend from a column in a newspaper, but really, you can absorb all the Coronavirus news you require in a very short time span.

Just allocate 10-15 minutes a day instead of dipping into news feeds every waking moment.

There's very little good news around in the headlines and it can become quite depressing.

2. Try to find one thing you enjoy and devote an hour a day to it.

It may be playing a board game with your kids (if anyone finds that enjoyable) or gardening or going for a walk along the beach or drawing or listening to your favourite music.

It's important to have something to look forward to.

3. There are a lot of polarising views at the moment on social media, so I'd suggest removing yourself from conversations or threads that are just going to upset you.

There will be countless perspectives and ideologies floating around and if someone has a very firm view, there's not a whole lot of point trying to change it.

It is better to perhaps unfollow anyone who is making you clench your teeth so tightly that you are discovering your jawline again.

4. Try a book. Books don't argue back.

Books don't have a comments section.

Books can take you into an alternate world and give you a chance to inhabit a different experience.

If reading isn't your thing, maybe try a podcast.

There are some incredibly inspiring people around and listening to them can help your own frame of mind.

I hope this helps a bit, Helen.

Thanks for your question.

Carpe diem, Jasminda

Times gone by go

By Karen FILEWOOD LITTLE is known about Peter Moller’s early life, other than he was born in Denmark around 1831 and after arriving and remaining in Melbourne for a year, he made his way to NSW and never married.

He was already established on lots two

The Line-up for Land (Part 5) and three in Coffs Harbour when land began to be formally selected.

The northern border of lot two was on the southern side of Coffs Creek and ran south along the current Moonee Street to its southern border of Maclean Street.

Lot three was nestled between the border of lot two and James Marles’ selection of lot four to the west.

Moller had erred in describing his land’s location, hence his selection was officially recognised as ninth in line.

Generally, the settlers cooperated and supported each other, however tensions did occur.

Described as having ‘an unassuming character, a kindly disposition, and all-round integrity’, Moller regularly went to court.

In June 1882 two selectors were charged with ‘maliciously’ killing his horse and in January 1902 an inquiry found that on 8 December 1901 an unknown person set his (uninsured) premises on fire, the damage estimated to be £80.

In 1896 he took Thomas Foley to court to claim £10, then sued Frank Wingfield in 1899 for £7 12s for the use of horse, sulky, plough, etc.

In May 1902 he sued A Kenny for ‘detention of tools, clothes, and other charges’

Grocery pick-up service approved for Woolgoolga NEWS

By Emma DARBIN

A CONTACTLESS customer grocery pick-up facility has been approved for Woolgoolga Woolworths to enable the contact free pick up of groceries for residents of the area.

“This reduces the number of customers in the supermarket given the Covid-19 pandemic that the wider community is currently facing,” development application documents stated.

“The facility will benefit families, disabled and the community as a whole by providing a service that no longer requires customers to physically enter the supermarket and allows

for contact free pick-up of groceries for numerous customers per hour.”

The recently approved development application will see the removal of the store’s existing cafe and part of the existing indoor trolley bay area, which will be transformed into a dedicated customer grocery pick-up servicing area and a coolroom.

Eight existing car parking spaces on the Solitary Islands Way side of the supermarket will be reduced to five car spaces and designated as dedicated customer pickup car parks which will be covered by a metal awning to provide covered weather protection to customers and staff.

This reduction of car parks is required to widen the proposed pick-up spaces and to create designated pedestrian access paths adjacent to the spaces for customers and staff to access cars with groceries safely.

The five dedicated car parking spaces will be painted green and marked specifically for the pick-up facility.

The works also involve the installation of an external side door to the new designated customer pick up area to enable side entry to the customer pick-up car spaces so staff don’t have to use the store’s existing main entrance.

Associated business identification ‘Direct to boot’ signage will be positioned

In 1904 he summoned James Gentle for assault while Gentle counter-charged him for assault.

Toward the end of January 1906, Moller tripped and fell, breaking his thigh. He was sent to Bellingen hospital where he gave instructions for all his land to be sold.

He died shortly after, never to realise his earnings of £750 which was left to his executors, P Macnamara and J Moorehead.

Through her art, Margaret has been an active benefactor of many charities including Coffs Legacy, Woolgoolga Retirement Village, Link Housing and now Beyond Blue.

“It is now my turn to show support, on behalf of them, to Beyond Blue through this exhibition to which I will donate 25% of

“If you cannot attend the gallery or have no desire to purchase a piece of art you can still donate to Beyond Blue through this link: https:// fundraise.beyondblue.org.au /4psexhibitionartistmargare tdrever.

MIDSOMER MURDERS

ABC, 8.30pm

FRIDAY

ISLE OF DOGS

7FLIX, 6.15pm

Say this stop-motion sci-fi comedy’s title quickly enough and you’ll hear the adorable hidden meaning behind Wes Anderson’s canine caper, “I love dogs”. The stylish and surprisingly political affair follows 12-yearold Atari (voice of Koyu Rankin) and his dog Spots (Liev Schreiber), who have been separated after a public health order in the fictional city of Megasaki amid an outbreak of dog flu saw the mayor deport all dogs to an island of landfill. The bizarre setting quickly gives way to a heartfelt tale as Atari teams up with five exiled pups (Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Bob Balaban and Bill Murray) to scour the island for his best friend.

Twenty-two seasons in and the Midsomer Murders team still have no shortage of creative ways to off the residents of Causton and its surrounds.

The series’ sinister slayings have taken a turn for the bizarre since leaving Caroline Graham’s series of books behind, with weapons including a massive wheel of cheese, flying wine bottles, a tumble dryer and even porridge.

Tonight’s offering includes a grisly discovery at the Midsomer Scarecrow Festival in the village of Little Upton, when bodies begin appearing on poles alongside locals’ straw creations. Unperturbed, DCI John (Neil Dudgeon, right) Barnaby and DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix) are on the case.

FARMER WANTS A WIFE

PRIME7, 7.30pm

Just like the old high-school reunion is a hotbed of gossip and I-didn’t-seethat-coming moments, you can guarantee that any reality TV get-together isn’t just for a friendly, “Hello, how have you been?”. Tonight’s lively reunion for the formerly lonely farmers and the lasses searching for “the one” promises to be a roller-coaster of emotions, with tears sure to be a feature, along with a parade of surprised faces. Host Natalie Gruzlewski returns to corral the lovedup and broken-hearted as they reveal what has transpired since the show wrapped up months ago. Eagle-eyed fans have already spotted that Matt has had his teeth done, but will anything else important have changed?

Mountain Preschool Lowanna Tree Day

By Andrea FERRARI

NATIONAL Tree Day was celebrated on Friday 30 July at Mountain Preschool Lowanna, where the children tilled the garden’s soil and added compost from their own compost bin.

“We then observed some coriander and carrot seeds, noticing their similarities and differences and wondered where they came from,” Donna Shrimpton, Director, Mountain Preschool told News Of The Area.

“After planting the seeds, the children verbalised their knowledge of the water element required for plant growth and they watered the seeds.

“We also had a lavender plant donated by a family member and planted it at our sensory area.

“We talked about trees and their similarities and differences to people (including how trees talk

to each other through their root systems).

“After feeling the bark of our trees, we then did bark etchings and we also traced around a peer.”

The children shared their knowledge about the parts of the tree, and they drew them onto the body outline, transforming it into a tree.

www.newsofthearea.com.au q

“Our children were very prepared for engagement in this activity as composting, gardening, growing and harvesting produce are everyday practices for our little eco warriors.

practices.

“The main message we aim to embed in children is the importance of trees to the cycle of life, sustainable living practices and caring for the land as our First Nations Peoples have for thousands of years.”

“It was a fantastic experience in which the children displayed joy and happiness

while connecting to their land.

“They become socially responsible and show respect, knowledge and care for natural environments.”

The recent assessment saw the school awarded a rating of Exceeding the National Quality Standards.

“Our belief in teaching children about the importance of environmental concepts contributed to this success.”

Urunga Surf Life Saving Awards celebrating 75 years

By Andrea FERRARI

URUNGA Surf Life Saving Club celebrated its breakout season with an evening of awards in recognition of individuals’ excellent results in competitions and patrol efficiency.

Club President Michael Dougherty told News Of The Area, “This year our club will have accomplished 75 consecutive years of volunteer community service which is an enormous

achievement.”

Michael congratulated all members on another incident free season.

Three long standing club members, Garry Howe, Mark Sutton and Tim Rodgers received Life Membership after a combined 70-plus years of service for Urunga and the surf life saving movement.

“All three are still active members and continue to contribute to training junior and senior members

The Club competed at State Titles at Swansea Belmont in March, winning Silver and Bronze medals in Ski, Beach Flags, Surf Swim and Ironman events.

“At the Australian Titles held on the Sunshine Coast, Club Captain Jim McCullagh won gold in the 65 years plus Beach Flags, and Tyrone Cook collected a bronze medal in the ultra-competitive 45-49 years surf ski race, placing just behind Olympic kayaker Jim Walker,” said Michael.

Jim McCullagh said, “Congratulations to our Award winners, all well-deserved, and a big shoutout and thanks to all members (patrolling and nonpatrolling) for their contributions during the last season.

“Thank you to our outgoing President Mick Dougherty, for his five years of hard work in turning our club around, most of this work goes unseen, and making it the envy within our branch.

“And welcome to our new President and new Life Member, Tim Rodgers.”

Michael concluded, “Our season was, however, marred again by issues surrounding beach erosion issues.

“Access for our juniors, patrolling members, lifesaving equipment and the public is, at times, dangerous and virtually non-existent.

“We are heavily relying on a build-up of sand over the cooler months that will allow Bellingen Council to commence the long-awaited Management Plan for Dalhousie Creek.”

Yazidi community in Coffs remembers Black Day

By Andrea FERRARI

THE Yazidi community of Coffs commemorated Roja Resh (Black Day) on 3 August with a gathering at C3 Church in Coffs Harbour.

The commemoration marked the day when the Yazidi genocide happened, at the hands of Islamic States in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), on this date seven years ago, in the Sinjar Valley in Iraq.

Local Yazidi people came to the stage to talk about their direct experiences of

that atrocious day.

Some of those stepping forward to read poems and share memories were aged nine and ten at the time, telling personal accounts of witnessing the slaughter of their immediate family and their escape from ISIS through the mountains.

Many of the Yazidis living in Coffs Harbour were directly affected by that event and it was an important impetus for them being granted refugee status.

Farhan Hamo, a Yazidi

living in Coffs, told News Of The Area, “The seventh commemoration of the Yazidi genocide was held to honor the victims of Yazidi genocide and to remind the world that the genocide is still ongoing against Yazidis.

“The primary motivation for this day is to bring awareness to Australian people and government about the atrocities that occurred at that time.

“The secondary motivation is to come together to remember those

“More than 360,000 people fled, and thousands of Yazidi men, women and children were executed and abducted.

“The ISIS invasion caused about 1,293 martyrs, and more than 2,745 orphans.

Yt Dingo new single and Coffs Coast shows

By Andrea FERRARI

PINK roller skates on, and it’s down to the Jetty for an early morning spin, then back home, in Coffs, to his old teenage room to write songs and reconnect with what really matters to him.

That’s life for Travers Ross, known professionally around the world as music artist and choreographer, Yt Dingo.

“Covid’s got me living back at home, so while here I have written a song and

it’s become my new single, coming out on 22 August, and I’m doing a bunch of shows in September in Coffs, Bello, Woopi and Grafton,” Travers told News Of The Area.

“The show is going to be a combination of old stuff and new, sharing stories, honesty and elevating everyone, to feel into their bodies, their eyes, their ears, their pores,” “Rather than reinventing yourself through tech, you have the best tech here with your own bodies.”

Dance has always flowed

through Travers’ work since studying at Newtown Performing Arts School in Sydney, and his work overseas on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, ‘Swoop Academy’, The Aria Awards and Stalker theatre, and with artists Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams along with many Australian and international music makers, film makers, festivals, tours, recordings, events, TV stations, dance companies, circus and theatre companies, brands and bands.

“More than 80 mass graves for Yazidi people that were killed by ISIS have been discovered so far, in addition to tens of other individual gravesites.

“Due to ISIS’ invasion of Sinjar, more than 100,000 Yazidis emigrated outside the country.

“We urge the UN, EU, and International Community to recognise what happened to Yazidis on 3 August 2014 as a genocide and to be more supportive regarding the abductees, survivors, displaced people, Sinjar situation, and asylum applications of Yazidis,” said Farhan.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

q Coffs’ Yt Dingo comes home to play.

“Australia needs me to dance and take the fear of dance away from Australian men.

“I was always dancing with First Nations men – it’s so powerful dancing with 50 other men – these were the ones I could see eye-to-eye with.

“Their spirituality aligned with nature is common sense to me.

“And through this I discovered a deep love for myself.

“Being focused on your tech through screens doesn’t allow this connection, whereas being in nature and without walls, does.”

Travers will be doing a bunch of workshops leading up to the performances, to teach and give opportunities to the local community to be a part of the shows.

Beginners who just want to dance can learn basic flash mob dances to the original music of Yt Dingo are welcome; there’s intermediate and professional workshops, too.

Shows are planned for outdoors …without walls. http://www.ytdingo.com/offtheleash.

Tornado Brewing in the Under 15s

By David WIGLEY

THE Northern Storm Tornadoes defeated the Coffs United Pride 4-1 in the under 15s North Coast Football competition as the teams battled it out for second place in the competition.

Two goals from Jonty Kadwell and goals from Matt Newberry and Finn Helliwell sealed the three points for the Tornadoes as coach Rob Newberry steered his team back to winning ways.

“We started the season

really well winning the first five games, then have had a couple of tough games where we lost a couple.

“We are currently sitting in third place and this weekend's game saw us build some much needed intensity and play some decent football,” said Rob. Despite the loss, the Lions hold onto their position in second place by a slender one point margin as the intensity for semi-finals heats up in the under 15s division.

Tiger Strike

By David WIGLEY THE Coffs Coast Tigers struck the net five times to overpower Sawtell 5-1 in the Coastal Premier League last Saturday at Polwarth Drive.

Taj Buck struck twice for the Tigers with Samson Mite, Innocent David and Tom Mitchell notching one goal apiece.

From the opening whistle the Tigers implemented their brand of possession football playing the ball out from the back and attacking with flair in the final third of the pitch.

Midfield playmaker Marcus Field wreaked havoc

with the Sawtell defence, dribbling at pace and creating opportunities for his team mates to strike.

The precious three points maintain the Tigers’ position in second place with two matches remaining in a clustered CPL ladder with several teams in contention for the semi-finals.

Two victories from their last two fixtures will secure a place in the semi-finals for the Tigers but Boambee, Port United, Kempsey Saints, Northern Storm and Port Saints all have aspirations for a semi-final berth.

Tigers coach Luke Stow

said what happens at the training ground determines what happens on a Saturday afternoon.

“The result is great but I’m more happy that the things we worked on at training this week were executed well and even more so some of the

training moves we practiced were put in place to create three of the goals and more opportunities that could have led to more goals.

“Which tells me that the boys are starting to believe in the football we are trying

to play and the effort and intensity required to compete at the top level.

“As always we look to learn and improve on certain areas of the game every week to challenge ourselves to be better players individually

and as a team,” said Luke.

The Tigers travel to Kempsey on Saturday 7 August to play the Saints with a 3pm kick off.

The Saints are in fifth position and seeking to break into the top four.

Coffs swimmers excel at Lismore meet

By Aiden BURGESS

A TALENTED team of Coffs Harbour swimmers have excelled at a recent meet in Lismore after their Country Championships in Sydney were postponed due to the COVID-19 situation in Sydney.

In just one day of racing the team achieved a remarkable 50 personal bests between them in Lismore.

Bella Teale (14 years) qualified and added a further three swims to her state program, proving over the weekend she is more than just a breaststroker.

Her sister Layci Teale (12) and team mate Remi Ogilvy (11) both achieved their first state qualification times with some exceptional and skilful racing.

These swimmers weren’t the only ones to achieve

State qualification with Finn Pengelly (13) and Lilly Geddes (15) also adding swims to their program.

National swimmer Sylas Phillips (15) showed his dominance in the 200m backstroke, winning the event by over 15m, in an incredibly fast swim.

His improvement in backstroke continues to amaze as he again improved his ranking into the Championship meets in both the 100m and 200m backstroke events with new personal best times.

While the meet was not a Championship meet, it was an opportunity for swimmers to compete in new events, and Piper Phillips (12) didn’t disappoint with an exceptional swim in her first ever 800m freestyle.

Phillips loves swimming distance, with her goal to

qualify and compete in the 5KM National Open Water Championships when she is old enough.

The whole team swam incredibly well, and were all out of our seats when Cale Ogilvy broke the elusive 30 second barrier in his 50m freestyle.

With the Country Championships rescheduled for the end of August, and State Championships for September, the young swimmers’ season is hanging by a thread as they nervously await the verdict on each of the Championships.

The talented team is coached by Sarah-Jane Weir, who praised their performances in the pool at Lismore.

“To see the squad able to be together, competing and supporting each other was just amazing,” she said.

q Coffs Harbour area swimmers take part in last weekend’s meet in Lismore. Back row (l to r): Finn Pengelly, Isaiha Phillips, Mitchell Hickey, Sylas Phillips, Piper Phillips. Front row (l to r): Bella Teale, Layci Teale, Cale Ogilvy, Remi Ogilvy, Andrea Thompson, Lilly Geddes.

“Over the short course season there are already limited opportunities to compete in our region (before you add in COVID restrictions) so to have this opportunity was one the swimmers didn’t want to let

slip and that showed in the incredible results.

“I admire each and every one of my athletes, that despite our season hanging by a thread, they continue to commit in the training pool.

“They’re all grateful

they are still able to train as many of their competitors and friends face lockdown restrictions that mean they can’t.

“To see their hard work continue to pay off as a coach is just an amazing feeling.”

Local athletes do their country proud in Tokyo

By Aiden BURGESS TWO awesome athletes from the Coffs Harbour region have done their country proud while representing Australia at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Swimmer Maddy Gough and Rugby Sevens player Locky Miller competed in their respective events during the first week of competition at Tokyo.

A former Sawtell Swimming Club member, Gough competed in the first women’s 1500m freestyle event to be held at an Olympic Games.

The national champion

qualified for the final and finished 8th in a time of 16:05.81.

Gough recorded the sixth fastest time in the heats heading into the final which was won by American legend Katie Ledecky.

Gough qualified for the Olympics after setting the Australian record at the 2021 Australian Swimming Trials.

Locky Miller was part of the Australian Rugby Sevens team which made the quarter finals.

The Australians were knocked out of the tournament by eventual gold medallists Fiji.

“It is easy to do and a really important part of the process.

“We can’t wait to see how many clubs and players take part in Summer Football this year, and it promises to be the biggest Summer Football season yet.”

Expressions of interest for Summer Football close on 9 September and can be made through the North Coast Football website.

Saints win finals-like clash with Swans

By Aiden BURGESS

FINALS level footy came early for the Sawtell/ Toormina Saints and Lismore Swans in an intense encounter during the penultimate round of the AFL North Coast season.

On the eve of this year's finals series, the match had a finals-like intensity as the third placed Saints and second placed Swans faced off in more ways than one in a potential semi-final preview.

Tensions boiled over between the two premiership contenders as a third quarter melee saw a Swans player sent off, as the game descended into a defensive struggle.

The Saints started strongly at home jumping out to a 41-8 lead, before the Swans cut the lead to 22 points at half-time.

The spirited Swans continued their fight back with much needed intensity and defensive pressure, cutting the margin to 8 at three quarter time setting up what shaped to be a good old fashioned grandstand finish.

But a dominant 28-2 final quarter saw the Saints win 11.12 (78) to 6.8 (44), as they seemed to go to another level ramping up their own intensity when it mattered most.

The vital win was the Saints sixth in a row which sees them move into second

spot on the ladder with one round remaining before this year's finals series.

The final round of the AFL North Coast is set to be decided tomorrow afternoon.

The Northern Beaches Blues play off against the Port Macquarie Magpies in a virtual elimination final at Port Macquarie.

The Blues sit in third spot with 8 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses, while the Magpies sit in fifth place with 8 wins and 5 losses.

Young Lionesses on the rise

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs United Lionesses powered to a 5-0 win over Woolgoolga on Saturday with two goals from Rylee Wilson and one goal apiece for Sophie, Charlize and Keeley.

Following three minor premierships in the 12s and 14s divisions, the young Lionesses made the decision to move up to the under 16s and have been tested every week chalking up five wins and seven losses as they hope for a strong finish in the finals.

Although most of the team are eligible to play in the under 14s, coach Brett Hodgekiss has prioritised his players development.

“This season our focus has been development and

as the season progressed the girls have grown so much and it’s pathed the way for some exciting years ahead at Coffs City United.

“As a coach I couldn’t be more proud of my squad and really look forward to continuing developing the girls in senior football over the next few seasons,” said Brett.

Team captain Rylee Wilson from Coffs Harbour High School has bought into the philosophy.

“It’s been a great year testing ourselves in this higher grade and we’ve done a lot to get where we are, especially seeing that our team is a lot younger than the rest in the comp.

“We have grown as a team and become closer as a whole and are looking forward to next season where we hope to dominate,” said Rylee.

THE Sawtell Panthers under 13’s have continued to show why they are one of the best teams in Group 2 Junior Rugby League this season.

The Panthers continued their unbeaten season with a 52-12 win against the Nambucca Valley Tigers, as the Panthers hosted Round 11 games at Rex Hardaker Oval.

The win was the Panthers ninth from nine games played this season which sees them sit at the top of the table with an amazing points differential of 387, made up of 431 points for and just 44 against.

The Panthers under 13s produced another dominant display carving up the Tigers defence with brilliant line breaks and long-range runs, making it seem like they

It was a great day overall for the Panthers juniors as six of their seven sides won in front of their home fans.

Sawtell Junior Rugby League Club President Bec House praised the performances of all the Panthers juniors.

“It was a fantastic day at Rex Hardaker and the under 13s was my favourite game,” she said.

“The sportsmanship that came out of it was incredible, “They play hard and they play fair, they are a great bunch of kids, so do all the teams at Sawty, “I love watching them all play.”

House explained to News Of The Area why the Panthers juniors are so strong.

“Sawtell provides a strong nursery, everyone from parents, coaches, committee members, sponsors, and most importantly the kids put in the time and effort to set goals and achieve them.”

Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club host latest round of club championships

By Aiden BURGESS COFFS Harbour’s best drivers faced off on the racing track during the latest round of the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club’s Club Championship.

Joel Lammers was one of the Coffs clubs’ members to take part in Round 4 of the six-round Club Championship held throughout this year.

The 11-year-old travels from Evans Head to compete at race meets in Coffs Harbour, and won his Rotax Mini Max category in Round 4.

Lammers won last year's overall Mini Max Club Championship, and said he just loved to compete on the track.

“I love racing and the adrenaline and competitiveness, everything about it really.”

The young driver touched on the challenges faced by drivers.

“It's tough both mentally and physically as some people say it’s mentally tough

because you can win every heat and then lose the final,” he said.

“Physically it's tough on the body and I got a fractured rib a couple of years ago.

“It takes a toll on the body as it's a lot of g-force on a couple of corners.

Lammers counts a current F1 world championship contender as his favourite driver.

“Max Verstappen just because of his determination and will to win,” he said.

“I try to be like him, and try to have the same determination when I drive.”

The talented young driver said his best moment on the track came just a week before the latest round of club championships.

“I’ve had a lot of moments, but last week at the Young Guns event in Lismore which is my age up to 16 years, I won all the heats and won all my races at the event,” he said.

The next round of the

Club Championship will be held on 5 September.

Jetty Jets dominant at home

By Aiden BURGESS

THE Jetty Jets have made a rare appearance at home as they take part in this year’s Grafton Hockey Association men’s season.

The Jetty Jets played just their third match at home this season at the Coffs Harbour Hockey Complex, with their home fans cheering them on to

at home after playing the majority of games this season in Grafton.

“It was certainly good to have a game at home in Coffs, and we generally get three home games against each of the teams from Grafton,” he said.

“We had another good turnout and spectators were keen to watch some

top-level hockey for the area.

“We are playing another catch-up game against the Barbarians Hockey Club and they have chosen to come down and play us on our home soil.”

The Jets coach said his side made the most of a rare opportunity to play at home.

“Our Jets team really made the most of this opportunity by playing a very stand out structured game and dominated in every aspect of the game,” he said.

“Standout players for Jets were Adam Ellison scoring two goals and also celebrating his birthday, Sean Lovering, Phoenix Smith, Josh Perry and 13-year-old Levi Fischer Getting a taste of first grade men’s hockey and scoring his first ever goal at this level.”

“The Jets were clinical and their decision making which is why their performance was reflected on the scoreboard.”

Fischer explained to News Of The Area his side had a point to prove this season.

“The performance of both teams was very good on Sunday, there are always changes you want to make

Eagles soar to the top

By David WIGLEY THE Boambee Eagles soared to the top of the women’s first division with a 7-0 victory over the Maclean Bobcats last Saturday at Ayrshire Park.

Eagles striker Kylie McDonald was on top form, scoring a hat-trick.

It was a trademark performance from the prolific striker who has been a key ingredient to the Eagles’ success this season.

McDonald terrorised the Maclean defence

throughout with her immaculate first touch, delivering a special moment when she cut inside and rifled a thunderbolt strike into the back of the net.

Jasmine Norberry counter-attacked strongly from midfield in transition play and was rewarded with two goals while Nikoka Morris and Hannah Clift Wilson scored one goal each.

The game was evenly contested in the middle of the park but it was the clinical finishing that

www.newsofthearea.com.au

proved the difference between the two teams.

Boambee coach Neil Witherdin wants to keep up the momentum into the finals.

“Saturday's game against Maclean ended 7-0 to the Eagles, we had four different scorers and kept them scoreless which was very pleasing for us.

“On paper it would seem a comfortable win but Maclean made the Eagles earn every goal and the score didn't reflect the effort that the Maclean

Comets on Fire in Ladies Tag

By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Harbour Comets fired to their fourteenth consecutive victory of the season with a 12-0 win over Bellingen last Saturday at Geoff King Motors Oval.

Tries from Jess Moore, Hannah White and Eden Bennett continued their stellar season where they have scored an impressive 398 points and conceded only 42.

Jess Moore led by example with a determined run in the middle of the park to score

the first try.

The co-captain attributed the results to the team spirit in the camp.

“The game was tough and Bello came out fighting hard, they’re a very good side so we knew we had to be strong in defence which our girls did.

“The team spirit is very good at the moment, we have a diverse group of girls from 16 to 30 and we are working really well as a team and the younger girls are always making us laugh.

“The next game we have Woopi who are coming off

The Eagles are three points clear of last year’s champions the Urunga Raiders who they play next in a clash of the titans which could determine the minor premiership.

Bombers come back to beat Storm in 9 goal thriller

By Aiden BURGESS

THE Boambee Bombers have shown a never say die attitude coming back from a two goal deficit for a memorable 5-4 win against the Northern Storm in their Coastal Premier League match at Ayrshire Park.

A last-minute goal to Brady Parker saw the Bombers clinch the vital three points to keep their hopes of a top-two finish well and truly alive.

Down 3-1 at half-time, the Bombers came out firing to start the second half with a beautiful strike from Luke France in the 58th minute breathing life and belief into the Bombers.

The Storm had won the

aerial contest at that point with all three of their first half goals emanating from crosses.

Both sides created numerous chances throughout the 9-goal thriller in a good old fashioned end to end shootout.

Four goals from both sides in the last half an hour set up a frantic finish with the scores locked at 4-4 and the win there for the taking.

And it would be club legend Brady Parker who would be the hero of the day for the Bombers, with his match winner in the dying stages sending the Bombers faithful into raptures.

Bombers keeper Kyle Wood was given the honours of captaining his side during

their come-from-behind win.

The young keeper provided a constant vocal presence of encouragement for his teammates, a directive he was given before the game.

“I got told by the senior boys to dig deep and to be vocal,” he said.

“We dropped our heads a bit when we went down 3-1, but we settled down and I kept telling the boys we were still in it and let’s win it.”

The Bombers captain described to News Of The Area the excitement he felt when his side scored the late match winner.

“It was phenomenal mate, you could feel it being here and I was super excited when Brady scored, everyone

With finals just around the corner, Wood could feel the intensity lift.

“I was pretty nervous when we were down as it's

getting to the tight end of the season,” he said.

“Our season is coming into finals and we needed to win to take some momentum into it.

Bellingen blitz the Comets

By David WIGLEY

THE Bellingen Magpies blitzed league leaders the Coffs Harbour Comets 3012 in the penultimate round of the Tooheys New Group 2 Rugby League competition last Saturday at Geoff King Oval.

The contest started evenly with the teams trading blows from the opening whistle as Billy Griffiths opened the scoring for the Comets before Bellingen scored two tries for a 12-6 scoreline at half time.

The Comets came out firing in the second half with

wave after wave of attacks from their powerful forwards.

Cameroon Woo ran the ball over the try line for the Comets but it was held up by the resolute Bellingen defence who refused to buckle under the sustained pressure.

The regimented Bellingen defence held their line and when the opportunities arose the Comets had no answer for a second half Bellingen blitz.

Bellingen’s polished passing game and devastating speed on the counter-attack were too hot to handle as they ran in several second half tries

to the delight of their vocal travelling supporters.

The win elevated Magpies into fourth place on the ladder ahead of the South Grafton Rebels on goal difference.

A win for Bellingen in their final game should ensure a semi-finals berth as they have a 39-point superior goal difference over the Rebels.

The Comets dropped back into second place behind the Grafton Ghosts and level on points with the Macksville Sea Eagles with a superior goal difference.

Bellingen’s reserve grade

side also defeated the Comets reserve grade by 30-12 as both team's chased semi-final places in a congested reserve grade table.

South Grafton are leading the competition with 20 points, Woolgoolga are in second place on 17 points, ahead of Macksville on 16 points, the Comets on 15 points and Bellingen on 14 points going into the last round.

Comets reserve grade coach Miles Fairbank summed up the match.

“In the last few weeks we have started slow and leaked a few points in the first half, so we have been training all week to start strongly which we did,

we scored two early tries and were on the front foot for most of the half.

“I thought we gifted them a couple tries and getting a man sent off didn’t help our cause, in the end Bellingen were the better side and deserved the win,” said Miles.

Comets President Steve Gooley explained the significance of the weekend.

“Last Saturday was a massive day for the Coffs Comets, a full day of juniors commenced at 9am then followed by the Comets seniors.

“To make the day even bigger it was also the annual Old Boys Day, it was great to see a lot of old boys back for

the day.”

The Comets also paid respect to life member and club legend David Crilley who passed away during the week.

“The results were mixed for the Comets on the day, very pleased to see the under 18 side have a win against South Grafton, also very happy to see the league tag side remain undefeated with a hard fought win over Bellingen.

“The results in reserve grade and first grade were not what we were after, the competition is very close in both grades and we will need to be playing much better if we are going to be in with a chance in the semi-finals,” said Steve.

Bellingen defended resolutely.

q Lions celebrate an emphatic 10-0 victory and the Minor Premiership.

Lions playmaker Chris Dooley scored a brace.

“I will say that Taree put up a valiant fight with limited numbers,” said Williams.

The three points means the Lions have an unassailable twelve point lead over the second placed Tigers and a thirteen point lead over Boambee in third place with three matches to play.

Coach Williams shared what winning the minor premiership meant and attributed the title to the squad of over thirty players.

“I cherish the Minor Premiership as you have to be the most consistent week in week out.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

“I believe that the whole squad of 30 plus players has earned this title, everyone puts in at training which makes it easier for the coaches.

“Our strength has come from teamwork and obviously gifted players.

“Thank you to the coaching staff, Luca, Steve Douglass and Brett Adams and thank you to all of our supporters,” said Williams.

The Lions travel to Port Macquarie United on Saturday 7 August with a 3pm kick off and will be presented with the minor premiership after their next home match on Saturday 14 August.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

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

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

Premiership

By David WIGLEY THE Coffs United Lions roared to the Coastal Premier League Minor Premiership in emphatic style with a 10-0 victory over the Taree Wildcats on Saturday.

A hat-trick from Martin Kelleher, braces for Chris Dooley and Jemilla Oko and goals from Joel Hampson, Lorenzo Rigoni and Azad Qasin capped off a stellar season for the Lions.

The Lions have amassed an impressive 41 points from 15 matches and have gone

unbeaten this season, only dropping points in draws with the Northern Storm and Sawtell FC earlier in the season.

Lions coach Glen Williams stuck to his game plan and resisted tinkering to suit the situation.

“It’s always tough playing a team struggling for numbers through suspension and injuries, when they sit back and invite you to play it can play tricks on the formation and plan.

Lions skilful winger Jemilla Oko scored a brace.
