procedures.

One new recruit, Gumbaynggirr man Nigel Craig, is the son of Aboriginal Liaison Worker Reg Craig, who has served at Coffs Harbour Health Campus for more than 25 years.

Nigel has come back home to work on Gumbaynggirr country after graduating from the University of Sydney.

“It was a fantastic opportunity to come back to Coffs Harbour, they have a really good JMO program, and I did my best to convince my friends to come back with me,” Nigel said.

“We all went through the hellfire of Sydney University together and so it was good to finish up our degree and set up in Coffs Harbour, and I have been showing off the local sites.

“It’s exciting and daunting at the same time to be able to come back and work on country.

“I feel very privileged to firstly have the education and then to be able to come back

and work within my own community.”

Another of the new JMO's, Ash Condon, was living in Lismore before attending the University of Sydney and coming to the Coffs region.

“Coffs Harbour is a beautiful area, I could never see myself going back to Sydney,” he told NOTA. “Everyone is friendly and supportive; it is good not to have been thrown in the deep end, and to be supported is a really great start.”

Matilde Tilly O’Dell, from Malaysia, also attended the University of Sydney.

“I grew up in a small town in Malaysia, and I really wanted to find that small town environment again and give back to the community,” she told NOTA. “I got a bit lost in the big city just in terms of the sheer number of people.”

A member of the Army, Nicholas Bunting was a civil engineer who wanted a change of career.

“Nothing was keeping me in Sydney, a rural

location was always on the cards and Coffs Harbour is where I wanted to explore and gain more experience,” Nicholas told NOTA. “The Army is a different experience for a medical officer, so it is good to get a saturated and diverse training experience before I return to the service.”

MNCLHD Chief Executive Stewart Dowrick extended a warm welcome to the new starters.

“It’s a pleasure to welcome the new junior doctors starting work across our region’s hospitals and thank them for the vital role they play in keeping our communities safe and healthy,” Stewart said.

Interns are medical graduates who have completed their medical degree and are required to complete a supervised year of practice in order to become independent practitioners.

The new doctors starting their internship will be entering a training program with networked hospitals throughout the state, providing formal and on-the-job training.

Their two-year contracts see them rotate between metropolitan, regional and rural hospitals to ensure the diversity of their experience.

Reservations over government review of Council funding model

By Andrea FERRARI

THE NSW Government will implement a review of the financial model for local government to address rising cost pressures facing councils across the state.

The Government has asked the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) to examine the financial model for councils and key factors impacting councils’ financial sustainability.

The review will assess the resources currently available to councils, their capacity to cover ongoing expenses and ability to fund core council services and infrastructure for their communities.

It will also identify ways to improve budgetary performance and accountability within the sector so democratically elected councillors are empowered to make decisions for the effective running of their councils.

“The financial sustainability of councils is one of the most significant issues facing local government in this state,” Minister for Local

Friday, 9 February 2024

Government Ron Hoenig said.

“With the cost of delivering core services to communities rising, it’s critically important councils are financially sustainable, but that needs to be balanced with the impact on tightening household budgets.

“That’s why we’ve asked IPART to make recommendations about whether the current financial model of councils enables long-term financial sustainability and whether councils have the financial capacity and mechanisms needed to deliver budget improvements.”

Minister Hoenig said there needs to be a closer examination so that the solution to financial challenges is not increasing revenue through raising council rates or seeking financial support from the State Government.

Natalia Cowley, General Manager of City of Coffs Harbour, expressed concerns over the review’s potential effectiveness.

“My view is that the current improvement areas, as identified by Minister Hoenig, based on the Terms

of Reference, will barely move the financial sustainability dial, as they are focused in the wrong direction.

“The reason for my view is that the improvement areas squarely focus on the ‘outputs’, i.e. visibility, processes, budgeting, capacity and systems.

“The actual problem is the ‘inputs’, i.e. getting oneoff capital grants from the Government - while we are grateful for them - without the ongoing respective operational grants to support the maintenance of those capital items, which are then burdened on the community to carry.

“Of course, cost shifting, emergency levies, red fleet and any other hiccups further suffocate the problem.

“Also, what’s the point of requiring councillors to have financial literacy requirements, when members of NSW Parliament don’t have the same requirements?

“That causes more damage to communities because financially illiterate comments can be made by those individuals, thus misinforming the community.

“So, if the Terms are not updated to equally focus on both sides of the equation, inputs and outputs, the outcome is going to be another well-intentioned book on a shelf.”

The Country Mayors Association of NSW (CMA) has welcomed the review announcement, albeit with some reservations.

“It’s brilliant that IPART has been mandated to conduct this review, we have been calling for this, but we are concerned with the draft recommendations handed down by the Government,” said CMA Chair Jamie Chaffey, who also serves as the Mayor of Gunnedah.

Mr Chaffey said the process will be too drawn out.

“Submissions close on 15 March, a report is then due to the Government twelve months after the Terms of Reference have been finalised, and then the work begins.

“It’s simply too long.

“We’d like to see them wholly focussed on the financial issues.”

All points are relevant, he said, but can be put on hold until after this initial review is complete.

His organisation’s member Mayors want to

q Natalia Cowley, General Manager of City of Coffs Harbour, has expressed concerns over the review’s potential effectiveness. see real action take place to fix problems with the local government financial model first.

“Because the financial model is not fit for purpose, councils are in the cycle of needing to go back to their ratepayers and residents in their communities every five to ten years to put up their rates.

“Communities cannot sustain that,” he said.

“Better and more consistent funding of rural and regional councils, particularly in relation to roads, is critical to financial sustainability.

“Simplistically

questioning and therefore tarnishing the professional capacities of elected members and staff is far from helpful and demonstrates the need for well-informed common-sense submissions to IPART regarding the draft Terms of Reference.”

The draft Terms of Reference are now open for feedback and can be viewed at www.ipart.nsw. gov.au/Home/Industries/ Local-Government/Reviewof-council-financial-modelin-NSW You can make submissions on the draft Terms of Reference until 15 March 2024.

Cattle prices on the increase as lot feeders stock up

By Ned COWIE

DESPITE fears of a dry summer, the growing season has been a productive one for cattle farmers and prices have continued to increase steadily since their October 2023 low.

589 head of cattle passed through the saleyards in Macksville last Thursday and prices were at their highest in nine months - since the end of autumn.

“The weather bureau was predicting a dry season and that reflected in early prices,” Auctioneer Jessie Stanton of G J Kennedy and Co. told News Of The Area, “but we’ve had good rain since then and everyone has a lot more confidence now.”

The only category not topping last fortnight’s price was ‘bulls’, but according to Jessie, this is because there were relatively few and only heavier bulls up for auction last week.

“Other than that, all sectors increased per kilogram with steers reaching the top price of $4.20 per kg and an average price of $3.49,” he said.

Heifers came in at between $2.91 and $3.40 per

kg liveweight.

Compared to last year when average prices had dropped to below $2 per kg, this can make a huge difference to the price of a 500+kg animal.

According to Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) the nationwide feeder steer indicator (prices over seven days across all sales) lifted by 98 cents per kilogram liveweight and although numbers of feeder steer for sale increased slightly, this price rise was attributed to strong competition from lot feeders looking to secure their stock.

q Charolais heifers for sale at the Macksville cattle sales last week.

Prices last week in Macksville were not quite as high as those seen in other areas of the country, with Queensland outperforming other states although Victoria did record the highest price rise.

Since prices are a result of supply and demand, some differences could be attributed to the large number of animals for sale (589) on Wednesday in Macksville.

“From now over the next few months we should see more weaners coming onto the market leading up to our main weaner sale in May.”

‘Forest friends’ declare Tuckers Nob closed

By Andrew VIVIAN

A GROUP of logging protesters have gathered to symbolically close Tuckers Nob State Forest to forestry operations.

Local residents along Roses Road, Gleniffer, with the support of the ‘Friends of Tuckers Nob’ group, have posted ‘notice of closure’

signs at the main entrances to compartments 26 and 27 of the state forest, which are proposed for logging operations this year.

Tuckers Nob State Forest sits within the proposed area for a Great Koala National Park.

Protesters say it is a known location for koalas,

Looking to

as well as a biodiversity hotspot for threatened species including the endangered Ringwood, or Aniseed myrtle, a rainforest tree which grows only in the Bellinger, Kalang and Nambucca River valleys.

Dr Tim Cadman told News Of The Area the Ringwood has been nominated for assessment as endangered to the NSW threatened species committee.

Mr Cadman said he has requested a permit to

undertake research of the koala population, but is not hopeful he will be given permission.

“If forestry can close the forest to us, the people, we can close it to them,” said Roses Road resident Brett Harrison.

“We don’t want this precious area logged.

“We want to save our beloved koalas.”

A spokesperson for Forestry Corporation NSW said, “Even though hardwood

timber plantations are not native forests, Forestry Corporation puts measures in place to protect wildlife that may traverse the plantations and operators are trained in koala search and identification and inspect every tree before felling.

“Plantations are managed in a broader forested landscape that also includes adjacent habitat that is permanently protected in native forests.”

CROSSING CHAOS: Call for action on dangerous railway crossings “The need for these improvements has become increasingly evident, given the growing volume of rail and road traffic and the critical role that railways play in the state's economy.”

Over the past thirteen years there have been more than 80 collisions involving trains and vehicles at level crossings in NSW alone.

The proprietors of Hilltop Farm Riding and Agistment Centre on Morrows Road in Nana Glen, Michelle Muller and her family have to drive over a railway line to access and exit their property, as do her equestrian clients.

“We’ve been trying for many, many years to get something done about our crossing,” Michelle told News Of The Area.

Due to visibility issues, drivers sometimes have seconds, not minutes, to safely cross the track.

Hilltop Farm is frequented by drivers with horse boxes, as well as produce trucks.

“One lady won’t come back because she had a near miss,” Michelle said.

After a train derailment accident in Nana Glen in 2021, the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) visited Michelle's property, agreeing that the crossing did not meet safety standards.

However, no warning signs were installed.

Part of the problem, said Michelle, is that the companies which provide the rail maintenance change.

“The different contactors all come out and agree it’s

and Federal Governments to provide major safety upgrades to railway crossings across NSW, with affected Coffs Coast locals echoing his concerns.

On Friday 2 February, the Federal Government released the National Level Crossing Safety Strategy 2023–2032.

The strategy has been developed by the National Level Crossing Safety Committee, comprising representatives from federal, state and local governments, rail industry associations and regulators.

The strategy sets out a plan of upgrades, committing to reducing fatalities and injuries at the more than 20,000 level crossings intersecting with roads and pathways across the nation.

Mr Toole, who serves as the Member for Bathurst, has called for these upgrades to specifically include installation of the latest technology and safety equipment such as retroreflective boom gates, audible warning devices, updated signage and LED flashing lights to increase the visibility of crossings on both sides of the roadway in response to approaching trains.

“Railway crossings are vital, however the current state of many crossings in New South Wales falls short of the safety standards required for a modern and rapidly evolving transportation landscape,” Mr Toole said.

unsafe, take photos, make notes and still nothing gets done,” she said.

Another resident of Nana Glen, Jodie Williams, President of the Coffs Harbour Branch of the Country Women's Association of NSW, told NOTA she contacted ARTC about the crossing on Morrows Road at Hilltop Farm for two reasons.

“My main concern being that the crossing needs to have boom gates and at the very least warning lights and bells.

“I also requested that the road going over the tracks be maintained. q Nana Glen resident Jodie Williams crossing the rail “I, as many do, regularly track into Hilltop Farm Riding and Agistment Centre. tow a horse float over the tracks to access Hilltop Riding overpass off Orlando Street is now have given us a major overpass which and Agistment Centre. highly improbable. linked through to Howard Street from “The gravel road was so poor and was “Long term planning could have the southern end of the Jetty Precinct. a good few inches below the tracks, so you alleviated the difficulties we now “I believe this option still has really had to get up speed to get the vehicle have.” potential. and float over; a bit counter intuitive when the “However, the option of an signage tells you to stop and look for trains,” she said.

“The second issue of safety is huge, especially as this crossing is right on a cutting, so you have no ability to either see or hear the train travelling north bound until it is less than 100 meters away.”

Jodie asked the ARTC to install warning bells and boom gates, as are installed at nearby Palomino Drive and East Bank Road.

“I asked at the very least that train drivers give a short toot, to warn us of an oncoming train.

“The road was maintained but I received no answer on the safety issue, which was very disappointing.

“It concerns me that safety in the regional area seems to be of no concern to the ARTC.” Nana Glen local businessman and volunteer Glenn Locke lives near three rail crossings, one with a boom gate and two without.

“It’s not the gated ones that worry me, it’s the ones without a boom gate; I’m terrified of them.

“You’ve just got to be distracted for a second or two and you could be hit by an XPT (express passenger train).”

The rail crossing at the Jetty Beach Park however, does have safety bells and whistles.

When the train comes through several times a day the gates come down and the pedestrian crossing is locked, but some residents still describe it as a potentially vulnerable spot.

Born and bred Coffs Harbour local Tammy Mills-Thom, a Director of Coffs Harbour Yacht Club and frequent user of the crossing, told News Of The Area, “Better planning could

custodians attempting to save Newry State Forest from planned logging operations.

The grassroots film was shot on broadcast quality cameras over five weeks and edited by Manic Seeds Media.

First-time director Sandy Greenwood conducted interviews with Elders and activists and narrates the film too.

A Gumbaynggirr, Dunghutti and Bundjalung custodian, Sandy works across stage, screen, publishing and the corporate sector as an actor, producer, writer and cultural consultant.

Ms Greenwood led two campaigns alongside Elders and allies to protect Nambucca and Newry State Forest from industrial logging between 2020-2024.

“I was inspired by how well local activists and Gumbaynggirr people worked together – it was reconciliation in action to protect country,” Ms Greenwood said of her inspiration to make the film.

“I wanted to capture that on film to inspire others.”

Ms Greenwood said filmmaking highlights included the opportunity to interview elders, learning about the cultural significance of the forests, and being able to capture the diversity of voice in the community.

Ms Greenwood founded production company Jinda Productions in 2018 with the aim of telling stories from a female Indigenous perspective.

Her first production, the critically acclaimed one-woman play ‘Matriarch’, has been previously profiled in News Of The Area.

She wrote, directed and performed the award-winning play and is now working on writing an intergenerational memoir based on it.

Ms Greenwood has worked in the US as a script consultant and as a First Nations cultural consultant in California.

Her numerous screenwriting credits include Indigenous storylines for independent feature films, short films, and corporate videos as well as extensive writing for print and digital media, including adapting classic Australian children's stories to include First Nations representation.

She is currently filming an exciting new First Nations travel series, 'Always Was', that will explore Australia's Indigenous ancestral homelands and highlight the powerful connection between creativity and country.

‘Nguura Muruy’ recently debuted at the Northbank Community Gardens in Bellingen.

“We had two very successful screening nights with more than 300 people attending,” Ms Greenwood said.

“It’s strong and polished and I think it's going to do really well on the international film festival circuit.

“This is my debut as a director and I want to continue to make films about country, culture and community.”

Burn-offs: Do they save lives and property? flammability.

“Scientific consensus amongst bushfire scientists confirms that

By Ned COWIE FORESTRY Australia has defended the use of hazard reduction or prescribed burning as an established and long-used method of preparing for and reducing the severity of bushfires.

A recently published report by the Australian National University and Curtin University found that while prescribed burning temporarily reduced fuel loads in forests, it could disrupt forest ecosystems and possibly create longer periods of additional

prescribed burning is a key tool in managing bushfires,” said Dr Tony Bartlett AFSM, Forestry Australia’s Science Policy Adviser.

Many local timber industry professionals agree.

According to Matthew Dyer of Bowraville, cool fires can help with seedling growth and reduce the fuel load of fires.

“There are three types of fire I would say,” he said.

“You’ve got the ones that just go through the leaf litter.

“Then there are ones that burn seedlings and go up to about five metres high.

Bring back Harmony Day

q The 28-member Coffs Coast Multicultural Society hopes City of Coffs Harbour will reinstate Harmony Day.

By Andrea FERRARI URGING City of Coffs Harbour (CoCH) to reinstate Harmony Day was the first initiative taken by members of the Coffs Coast Multicultural Society (CCMS) at their inaugural meeting on Wednesday 31 January 2024.

The newly formed group consists of 28 representatives, most of whom received their Australian citizenship in Coffs Harbour, with local businessman and Coffs Hospital Intensive Care Unit registered nurse Htun Htun Oo serving as Chair.

Involved since the idea of the CCMS was first mooted in mid-2023, City of Coffs Harbour councillor Tony Judge has committed to support the efforts of the group.

“The Coffs Coast Multicultural Society is excited to let our citizens know that we have urged councillor Tony Judge for a motion to go to Council on Thursday 8 February supporting Harmony Day,” Htun Htun said.

“We had the support of Sally Townley and Tony Judge at our first informal event, the International Food and Dance Festival in November.

“Now we have urged Councillor Tony Judge to take our voice regarding Harmony Day to our Coffs Harbour City Council (City of Coffs Harbour).”

Harmony Day, a celebration of cultural diversity, has been celebrated in Australia since 1999.

The last Harmony Day celebrated in Coffs Harbour was in 2019 “Harmony Day events are supported by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship,” Htun Htun said.

“Australian multicultural policy

acknowledges Harmony Day-associated celebrations.

“I quote, ‘It is the first multicultural policy statement from a federal government since 2003’.

“In line with this policy we are requesting Coffs Council to reinstate Harmony Day celebrations and further grow this special event,” he said.

“We want to celebrate our cultural diversity in Coffs and Harmony Day is a great way to do this.”

More to come following Thursday’s City of Coffs Harbour Council meeting.

q An out-of-control hazard reduction burn in a forested area behind a property in the Clarence Valley.

“Finally, there are crown fires like the ones we saw in 2019, which go through the top of the forests,” Matthew told News Of The Area.

“It has become very hard for State Forests to get a burning permit,” he said.

“In the past, more people in control of these things were oriented to and had experience with the country they applied to.

“It’s a one-size-fits-all rule but everywhere is a bit different and what works down south might not apply to us in the Nambucca Valley,” he complained.

The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) also supports prescribed burning as part of bush fire plans, although weather conditions tend to make a very small window of opportunity for carrying them out.

The RFS website stresses that hazard reduction is “just one way of preparing for bushfires”, a point that Dr Bartlett is also keen to emphasise.

“While there is no panacea for reducing the impacts of catastrophic bushfires, prescribed burning is a scientifically proven part of the solution.

“Simply, reduced fuel levels in forests will reduce the severity of bushfires on all bar the most catastrophic fire weather conditions,” he added.

“Forestry Australia’s view is that using cool burning to reduce fuel hazards is critical to good forest fire management and very consistent with the way Aboriginal people managed these forests for thousands of years,” according to Dr Bartlett.

Fed up Red Rock residents call for action on decaying reserves

By Andrea FERRARI

FRUSTRATED by failed promises, Red Rock residents are voicing their displeasure regarding a lack of timely action by Reflections Holiday Parks to repair and maintain the Crown Land Reserve infrastructure and facilities of the idyllic beachside hamlet.

According to the Red Rock Preservation Association (RRPA), despite over two years of communication with Reflections Holiday Parks, including CEO Nick Baker, and Minister of Lands and Property Mr Stephen Kamper, there has been no substantial improvement.

The RRPA, which aims to represent the community with one voice when dealing with Reflections Holiday Parks management, believes its concerns are being ignored and trivialised.

Reflections Holiday Park Red Rock is responsible for maintaining and repairing all infrastructure in the Crown Land Reserves, not just the caravan park.

Marilyn Allan, a resident of Red Rock since 1999, has had her frustrations fuelled after seeing Reflections Holiday Parks’ recent TV advertising campaign, ‘Life’s better outside’.

“That’s an expensive exercise, using dollars that could have been spent on and around their Red Rock holiday park,” Marilyn told NOTA. Residents report that there has been no usable access from the headland to Little Beach for over two years, leading visitors to access the beach via dunes.

“Now people are accessing via the dune, creating damage

to the fragile sand dunes, and making it dangerous,” RRPA secretary Jenny Freeman told NOTA. The problems don’t end there though, according to residents.

“It is the boardwalk falling into the river, the slippery boat ramp, holes in steps leading into the river, and inappropriate management of effluent from the caravan park and day visitors’ area.

“The list is long.

“Our members love Red Rock for its natural surroundings, the spectacular foredunes, the endangered birds and have for many years worked hard to keep it this way.

“Now that Reflections manages the reserves, it has deteriorated,” said Jenny.

Approximately eight years ago, North Coast Caravan Parks were appointed to take control of the park and surrounding reserve.

“In 2018 they rebranded themselves as Reflections Holiday Parks,” said local resident Marilyn Allan.

Reflections manage the land on behalf of the Lands Department as a profitfor-purpose enterprise, reinvesting profit into their suite of holiday parks.

When the initial takeover took place, a town meeting was held by the Red Rock Preservation Association with the management of Reflections (North Coast Caravan Parks) to discuss their intentions around maintaining the natural beauty of Red Rock and to maintain the infrastructure of walking paths, stairs, parks, toilets, water, septic sewerage, weeding and mowing.

Since then, there has been a gradual decline in any maintenance, said Marilyn.

“There’s no interest shown in fixing boardwalks, some of which have been lost in the dunes near the headland, and the walkways over the dunes to Back Beach.

“The boardwalk around the river was partly redone and is now dangerous and very close to falling into the river in some areas.

“All walkways are dangerous and a public liability issue if someone falls over and breaks bones.

“The stairs at Little Beach used to get to Back Beach have been closed for three years.

“The small fishing jetty is sinking into the river and

a couple of weeks ago was closed off to the public with bunting.

“The river waterfront is collapsing due to increased river traffic and tides.

“Filling up the holes with gravel has not fixed the erosion problems,” she said.

The Area that Crown Lands and Reflections are currently “working together to determine the best solutions to address general coastal erosion of the beach and reserve and the deterioration of the stairs and boardwalk”.

Reflections responded to NOTA’s questions on a number of residents’ key concerns.

On the topic of sewage issues, the spokesperson said Reflections engaged a consultant to help “reduce the volume of wastewater flow going into the system, as well as reduce the number of trucks on site where possible”.

“Since that time, we have been able to reduce the flow by more than 40 percent and implemented other initiatives, including upgrading amenities, park plumbing and guest communication to encourage a reduction in usage.

“A key next step is monitoring usage over the peak summer period, now coming to a close, to be able to assess the volume of waste going into the sewerage system, with the goal of being able to reestablish the original sewage treatment process and remove the need for trucks disposing of the waste,” the spokesperson said.

With regards to the Little

Beach stairs and bank erosion, the spokesperson said coastal erosion is “extremely common along the entire NSW coast”, suggesting that “Crown Lands assesses geographical locations on a case-by-case basis”.

“Considerations include public health and safety and access to funding.

“The condition of the stairs from the public access road to Little Beach has deteriorated due to erosion and storm activity and were closed for the community’s safety.

“Crown Lands and Reflections are currently discussing this issue with a focus on accessing government funding to find an appropriate solution.”

Reflections also stated that sand ladders used for access to Main Beach were assessed and refurbished as required in November 2023.

“Additional bush clearing was undertaken to allow pedestrians to access handrails at the main entrance.”

The spokesperson also indicated that Reflections was seeking quotes to “grade and resurface” the road to Little Beach, while an application for grant funding to upgrade the foreshore has been submitted with Crown Lands.

With a community boardwalk which runs along the river to Jewfish Point in disrepair, the spokesperson said advice was being sought on the cost of repairing the boardwalk.

Footpath funding not forthcoming

By Andrea FERRARI

“WHERE are our pathways?”

This is the question on the lips of residents who live in and around Beryl Street, Mackays Road and Frances Street in Coffs Harbour.

Over the years, long-time Beryl Street resident Anne has submitted requests to City of Coffs Harbour (CoCH) for the residential area near her home to receive footpaths “I've alerted Council to this issue twice over the years,” Anne told News Of

The Area.

“One response a few years ago said they received grants to do the path near the police station and that they allocate funding based on need.

“So, when they get more grant money they will build where there is priority.”

Anne, who now has a young child, claims the lack of footpaths along the area’s roads are creating dangerous conditions for walkers.

“Along the west end of Beryl Street, Mackays Road and the majority of Frances

Street, pedestrians face danger in the absence of footpaths,” she said.

These roads have significant traffic loads and also have kerbside parking.”

Anne said the absence of pathways leaves pedestrians with no option but to walk on the busy road, sometimes around parked cars, or along a rough, uneven verge which presents multiple trip hazards.

“I see families with young children in prams having to walk on the road near traffic because the verge presents so many trip hazards,” she said.

q Pedestrians have to walk along the grass verges or on the road along this part of Beryl Street, Coffs Harbour.

q There are no pathways on the west end stretch of Beryl Street.

q Along the majority of Frances Street, pedestrians face potential danger in the absence of footpaths.

“Elderly and disabled pedestrians, especially those in mobility scooters, also face the same danger.”

Anne is calling on Council to review priorities for grant funding and re-assess the

need of Beryl Street, Frances Street and Mackays Road.

“Residents of this area would like pathways so we can walk in our local area safely,” she said.

A City of Coffs Harbour

spokesperson told NOTA, “Footpaths along the western end of Beryl Street (Joyce Street to Mackays Road), Mackays Road (between Beryl Street and Bray Street) and Frances Street are not scheduled in the current delivery program.

“The City will continue to explore additional funding sources/grants to facilitate footpath works in the local government area (LGA) such as these locations.

“The City is also developing an active transport plan which will see a review of priorities across the LGA.”

By Andrea FERRARI OFFICIALLY opening next week, the completed and wellequipped treatment room at Ulong’s Health Hub is a major boon for the mountain community.

The dedicated treatment room complements the consultation room within the village’s expanding Health Hub, which opened on 14 April 2021.

The remoteness of the mountain village, accessed from Coffs Harbour by a single winding road, with no pharmacy or doctor’s surgery for miles around, means

the evolving Health Hub is a highly valued service and lifeline for local residents.

The treatment room, officially opening on Thursday 15 February, will provide dedicated space for visiting Allied Health professionals.

City of Coffs Harbour (CoCH) Mayor Cr Paul Amos will join the opening celebrations, as will councillor and Brooklana farmer Rodger Pryce, who will represent Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh.

Also in attendance will be various dignitaries, supporters and the village’s residents.

“This treatment room is the culmination of a sevenyear dream to bring health services to our rural mountain communities,” said Carol Cleary, Chair of the Ulong Hall Committee, a driving force behind the fundraising for the treatment room.

Carol and husband Steve Cleary own the General Store at Ulong.

Through the nature of their business - as a general grocery, Australia Post hub, rural Centrelink agent, B and B and gas distributor - they hear everyone’s health plight.

Carol said her dream for the community could not have come true without the support and generosity of locals.

“People such as our wonderful tradies who probably shudder when I call, but always step up to do their bit for our community – Rod Young our builder, Jason Carver from JAC plumbing, and Daryl Caesar for the electrical,” she said.

“With a project like

this there are always hidden problems, causing unexpected costs such as air conditioning problems, fixed

by MML Air conditioning, and vinyl flooring kindly donated by Dorothy and Alan Rutherford, a local resident.

“The fit out of the room to such a high standard is thanks to the kind and generous donations of Deidre from Your Family Practice

in Laurieton, who donated a wealth of equipment including a vaccine fridge, hydraulic beds, trollies, and treatment chairs to name but a few, and Jodi Crow from Medilogic, who generously stocked our room with a huge bundle of consumables.”

Carol said such generosity is extremely humbling and much appreciated.

Her hope is that with the new treatment room, Dr Ruthnam will be able to extend his service to assist patients on site, without the need to travel to Coffs Harbour.

“We are also looking at providing a pathology and immunisation service in conjunction with the monthly Health Hub,” said Carol, “as well as attracting other Allied Health professionals.

“A huge thank you needs to be extended to Gurmesh Singh MP and to Healthy North Coast, who without their continual funding support this would not have happened.”

Carol is now looking forward to trying to get a weekly nurse service in conjunction with telehealth to operate from the hub to complement the doctor visits.

“We are so lucky as a community to have this wonderful service,” she said.

Lions breathe life into Bello hospital

By Andrea FERRARI

BELLINGEN Lions Club have again stepped up to support their local Bellinger River District Hospital, making their second donation of vital equipment in just a couple of weeks.

After donating a $6,268 vaccine fridge to the hospital, the hard-working members of the local Lions Club have returned with a $13,161 donation of three oxygen concentrators.

The compact devices will bring independence, freedom and improved quality of life to patients experiencing breathing difficulties.

The hospital’s Executive Officer/Director of Nursing, Lisa Slater, said the Bellingen Lions Club was a long-time supporter of the hospital and its patients, and she thanked the group for their continued commitment.

“We are truly humbled by the support we receive from our community, and the Lions are a vital part of that support

network,” Lisa said.

“They work hard, lead by example and are magnificent at bringing others along with them in their charity work.”

The Lions Club was quick to thank the community for supporting its quest to donate the portable oxygen

concentrators, especially C.ex Coffs Harbour and the Australian Lions Foundation.

Spokesman Jim Forbes said C.ex Coffs had generously supported the Lions’ ambitious project of replacing the hospital’s vaccine fridge and providing the portable

oxygen concentrators through its ClubGRANTS program.

Pink Silks continue generous support

By Andrea FERRARI THE CanDo Cancer Trust has expressed heartfelt thanks to the Pink Silks Trust (PST) committee for a generous donation of $5,000, a significant contribution resulting from the 18th Pink Silks Ladies Charity Race Day held at Coffs Harbour Racing Club on Sunday 14 January.

A resoundingly successful annual event, the Pink Silks Race Day has proven to be more than just an exhilarating day out, becoming a beacon of support for local women affected by health challenges.

Having raised over

$1,350,000 in the past eighteen years, the Pink Silks Trust has provided valuable funding to many organisations, assisted in bringing new services and equipment to the local community, and contributed to national research foundations.

The Trust is motivated by bettering the health journey of local women challenged by cancer, illness, trauma and disability.

Local CanDo Cancer Trust Chair Julie Jardine told News Of The Area, "We are immensely thankful for Pink Silks' ongoing dedication to our cause.

“This generous

donation will empower the CanDo Cancer Trust to continue making a difference in the lives of those facing the hardships of cancer by providing financial assistance directly to patients.”

Artists inspired by Black White and Red

By Andrea FERRARI

‘BLACK White and Red’, the Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group’s (CHCAG) first exhibition for 2024, is now on display at the Coffs Harbour Showground Gallery.

A convivial gathering at the gallery on Sunday 4 February officially opened the exhibition.

“I’m thrilled at the number of entries and the sheer variety of works both on and off the walls.”

Sue said it was gratifying to have lots of members and guests attend the opening; enjoying a social occasion and the artworks.

“I also had the pleasure of awarding our long-term member, Treasurer and my ‘right-hand-man’, Maxine Kohlhagen, with Lifetime Membership.

“Maxine has been an integral part of the group for many, many years, and is an accomplished artist, calligrapher, and porcelain

painter, too.”

Leske family lights up for the ‘Soupie’

By Andrea FERRARI

PERHAPS the brightest star of the festive season in Coffs Harbour is the Leske family residence on Coriedale Drive.

Bedecked with Christmas lights and twinkling decorations, the annual festive spectacle is the Leske family's creative way of fundraising for the Uniting Church’s local soup kitchen.

Having welcomed thousands of visitors to the light show over the 2023 holidays, Bruce Leske recently presented Uniting Church Soup Place coordinator Phil Crofts with a cheque for $10,000.

“We started six years ago and raised $350 in the first year,” Bruce told News Of The Area.

“Each year we’ve thought we couldn’t beat the year before, but we do, every year.

“What started as a simple desire to spread holiday cheer six years ago turned into something much more meaningful.

"My wife, daughter and I purchase everything from our own pockets and spend many hours wrapping thousands

of lucky dips to sell at our stall with all proceeds being donated.”

From the first show, the family chose to donate all monies raised to the Uniting Church’s Soup Place, which has now received over $20,000 from the Leske family’s Christmas lights fundraiser in total.

“My oldest son, Joel, told me about the Soup Place,” Bruce said.

“Through conversations we found out that they receive no government funding; they rely on the Church, and it costs around $23,000 annually to run the Soup Place.”

Fuelled by the year-onyear growth in donations, Bruce is ever keen to start setting up the decorations, beginning as early as September; liaising closely with his daughter Joanne.

Working in the evenings and at weekends to set up, the official start of the light show is December 1 each year.

“We encourage people to park and walk around the garden and look at everything in detail,” said Bruce, “you really can’t see everything if

you just drive by.”

Every year the attention builds through word of mouth.

Families from all corners of Coffs Harbour gather to witness the spectacle and, in the spirit of giving, open their hearts and wallets to support those in need.

“They visit Coffs and family around Christmas time every second year.

“Kahala, Sam and I all went to Narranga Primary School, we’re all locals.”

As far as good genes are concerned, Rohan seemingly has a head start in life, with four great-greatgrandparents still alive, not to mention other senior family members.

“It can get a bit confusing sometimes,” Karen said.

“It’s fair to say he has lots

of family who love him.”

As to the reasons for family members’ long innings’, Karen’s not 100 percent sure what to put it down to.

“I’m not sure what the secret is to Mum’s longevity,” Karen said.

“She was born in England and always worked hard, never been a drinker or a smoker, always liked to cook and eat fresh fruit and veggies.

“She still lives in her own home, won’t take any Panadols and gets on with life.

“I think they’re just tougher that generation.”

Yarrawarra arts centre grant boosts growth

By Andrea FERRARI

THE YARRAWARRA Aboriginal Cultural Centre at Corindi Beach - home of the Wadjar Regional Indigenous Gallery - will benefit from $121,500 of ClubGrants funding, allowing them to make necessary improvements to key amenities.

The Gurehlgam Corporation, who own and manage the Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre, successfully applied to the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants Program.

CEO Julie Perkins told News Of The Area, “The toilet facilities at the gallery and café complex are quite aged, operating now for 37 years.

“They’ve outgrown their time and have become inadequate.

“We’re a small entity but we’re growing and have got a bigger plan for a whole new cultural experience.

“We want to provide events at our wonderful gallery and more.

“We are very grateful, especially being situated on the outskirts of the city.

“We are small but we are a draw into regional tourism,” she said.

Ms Perkins invited the community to visit the centre in person and support its important work.

“We invite all to visit our unique cultural and artistic centre at Corindi, supporting the work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

“The upgraded infrastructure will assist us greatly with the increasing tourist numbers visiting the centre.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh visited the Wadjar Regional Indigenous Gallery on Tuesday 30 January, meeting with the gallery’s Creative Director Alison Williams and Gurehlgam representative Andrew Hegedus.

“I’m extremely pleased Gurehlgam has been able to secure this funding for the installation of two septic stations and amenities at the cultural centre,” said Mr Singh.

“Yarrawarra is an important cultural and community hub where the hardworking team is

said.

“Greens representation is growing across all levels of government in Australia and the Mid North Coast is no different.”

Cr Cassell said the presence of State and Federal MPs at the regional forum will help build momentum for both this year’s local government election and a federal election sometime in the next fifteen months.

“The Greens are the only party that doesn't accept corporate donations, takes climate change seriously and has genuinely sustainable economic policies,” Cr Cassell said.

“We’ll be talking about these things and much more on Saturday.”

Greens MP and spokesperson for the Mid North Coast, Sue Higginson said, “The Greens are fearless and relentless advocates for

local communities and the environment.

“Greens members that are elected to Councils are accountable, diligent and independent from influence by developers and other vested interests.

“Local Councils and communities of the Mid North Coast are on the frontlines of climate change and need advocates that know and understand the challenges we face.

“Crucial issues like housing, infrastructure maintenance and preservation of community amenities are core issues for all Greens.

“Our Mid North Coast members are ready and willing to meet these issues head on and get Governments moving in the right direction.”

Senator Shoebridge said the Mid North Coast was on

the "frontlines of both the climate catastrophe and the cost of living crisis".

“Having Greens

representatives from all levels of government and the community together is an exciting opportunity to work

out how we push for the essential changes we need for people and the planet."

committed to providing the same great entertainment and service to as many of the towns and areas they currently operate in as possible.

Support from the government, banks and many of their landlords helped Majestic get through the initial Covid-19 period.

Although many industries bounced back from Covid-19 in 2022, cinema businesses have faced additional challenges caused by the pause in movie production on the back of Covid-19 restrictions, reducing major movie releases by about thirty percent, with revenue also being reduced by the same amount.

Pile onto that the impact of the writers and actors strike in Hollywood and recent costof-living pressures, affecting the discretionary spending of the public and the running cost of cinemas, and it is not difficult to see why this industry finds it challenging to stay viable.

“With so many of these factors outside Majestic Cinemas’ control, it is clear that a new operating model is required to align the business to the future sustainability of the movie industry and, whilst we continue to trade, we urge your patience as we restructure the business,” Mr Dell said.

The positive news is that Majestic is still trading and they urge people to go out and support their local cinemas at this time.

Miss Alyssa McKay of Valla Beach, a regular customer of Majestic's Nambucca Heads Cinemas, told News Of The Area, “It will be terrible if Majestic has to close its doors

as we, and so many people we know, really love coming here to the movies and traveling to Sawtell or Coffs Harbour to see a film would certainly be difficult.”

extremely proud of the Aboriginal-led art space and gallery and the opportunities to participate in cultural tours.

“This funding is terrific

news because it helps Gurehlgam to realise its vision for continual upgrades at Yarrawarra, including the provision of essential infrastructure.

“This is an important investment in the future of the Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre and the great work it undertakes in our community.”

Majestic Cinemas appoint administrators

By Mick BIRTLES

LAST week Majestic Cinemas made the shock announcement they had appointed administrators to continue to trade the business, in the hope that a restructure will allow them to remain operational.

The prominent regional cinema chain operates at sites in Nambucca Heads, Kempsey, Sawtell, Port Macquarie, Singleton, Inverell and Nelson Bay in NSW and at Wynnum and Nambour in Queensland.

“There have been a number of circumstances that have affected our ability to trade by reducing box office sales, including

Covid-19 and the resulting loss of movie production, the impact of natural disasters such as floods and fires, and the recent writer and actor strikes in Hollywood,” Majestic Cinemas CEO Kieren Dell told News Of The Area.

“As a result, the Board of Majestic Cinemas has decided to call in voluntary administrators who will deal with creditors and look at ways to restructure the business so that it can trade profitably into the future at as many of the current sites as possible.

In the announcement Majestic stressed that they understand how important these cinemas are to local communities, and remain

‘C-off Switch’ campaign to attract tourism

By Andrea FERRARI

NEW research commissioned locally about Aussie workers’ holiday and relaxation habits has led to the formation of a new campaign aimed at increasing visitation to the region.

The survey, commissioned by Coffs Harbour Airport in partnership with City of Coffs Harbour, explored how Aussies are spending their time off work and what their goals are for 2024.

Over 1,000 Australian workers were surveyed, with 83 percent admitting they sneak a peek at emails and messages when on holiday with loved ones, and 78 percent saying they find it hard to switch off from work on holiday.

The research is part of a broader plan to raise awareness of the region as a fly, stay and drive destination.

The results are being seen as an opportunity to coax visitors to the relaxing natural wonderland of the Coffs Coast, encouraging

holidaymakers to find their ‘C-off Switch’.

“We know Aussies are hard workers so we were curious to explore this further along with the role the Coffs Coast can play given nature is a proven antidote to a busy life,” Coffs Harbour Airport General Manager Frank Mondello said.

“Within minutes of landing, travellers to Coffs Harbour are immersing themselves in outdoor experiences right on the airport’s doorstep.”

The survey found six in ten working Aussies aimed to spend more time outdoors in nature this year.

The Coffs Coast, the first certified ECO Tourism Destination in New South Wales, offers travellers the opportunity to maximise a long weekend or annual leave by ditching the car to fly directly into a destination where they can connect with nature through experiences such as stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, hiking, surfing, bush biking and more.

“We are making it our mission, together with the local tourism industry, to help busy Aussie workers find their ‘C-off Switch',” added Frank.

“76 percent of survey respondents said they would consider flying to Coffs Harbour in the next twelve months for a holiday.

“We also know that car hire costs have reduced as supply chain pressures have eased - making a fly, drive holiday more accessible to many.

“We are confident that a combined industry effort will lead to increased aviation access to the region,” he said.

Lydia Crossingham, Manager at The Observatory Holiday Apartments in Coffs Harbour, told News Of The Area, “One of the top reasons our guests visit us is our proximity to so many unique natural experiences.

“With the airport so close to our city centre it is easy for our visitors to relax and unwind moments from stepping off the plane, ensuring they can make the

A SAWTELL resident’s plea for flood warning signs to be erected along a road her car got badly water damaged on, has led to a commitment

by the City of Coffs Harbour (CoCH) to do just that.

most of their time when visiting for a weekend or longer stay.

“We are excited by Coffs Harbour Airport's focus on encouraging Aussie travellers to find their C-off Switch in 2024 and look forward to welcoming these guests.”

City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Cr Paul Amos also welcomed the new tourism push.

COFFS COAST News Of The Area q A survey commissioned by Coffs Harbour Airport in partnership with the City of Coffs Harbour is providing information to help develop ways of increasing visitation to the region.

“We know that Coffs Harbour is the perfect place for Aussies to switch off, spend quality time in the great outdoors and whilst here enjoy our burgeoning food and drink scene.

“The region’s tourism industry is having something of a renaissance with new accommodation and experiences giving travellers fresh reasons to visit,” said Mayor Amos.

“Coffs Harbour Airport plays a critical role in our region by giving travellers the opportunity to get the most out of their visit with direct access to the heart of the destination - and less time in the car.

“The airport’s proactive approach to encouraging travellers to find their ‘C-off Switch’ is a win for the region and a win for busy Australians,” he said.

go shopping in Woolworths.

“At the time I didn’t realise the unfortunate position of my parking spot,” she said.

“It was a classic roadside parking spot on a residential road.

“It was just in front of a road drain,” she said.

While she was shopping, a storm with very heavy rain hit the area.

Along with many others, she waited for it to abate before heading to her car.

“Imagine my shock on exiting the doors to see not only the roadway (Wirrabilla Drive) submerged, but the water came up to my knees,” Kristine said.

“And then I saw my car, and at least two others, with rainwater almost to the top of the wheels.

“As a result, of course, the floor well was filled with water and my car had to be towed away and was later written off.”

Kristine has been a Sawtell

www.newsofthearea.com.au

local for around 30 years and was aware that in extreme conditions the road could flood.

“I was totally unaware though that a single oneafternoon-storm could result in such devastation,” she said.

Kristine then contacted the City of Coffs Harbour, hoping for improvements so that could avoid others experiencing a similar fate.

“My plea to the council was that if it is not possible to fix the problem through drainage etc, then for them to sign the street permanently to make people aware that parking there in heavy rain should be avoided, in order to prevent others from suffering the same ordeal as me.

“I submitted the request

iin the hope I can save others from dealing with the emotional and financial stress and inconvenience that I have endured as a result of flooding in Wirrabilla Drive,” she told News Of The Area.

And it looks like Kristine’s wish will be granted, with CoCH informing her that the installation of ‘Road Subject to Flooding’ signs and depth indicators has been added to the City’s works schedule.

Council indicated that a detailed hydraulic assessment of the draining system also needs to be undertaken.

A CoCH spokesperson confirmed with News Of The Area, “City of Coffs Harbour will install cautionary signage in the area that it may be subject to flooding.”

Fishers called on to keep Coffs Creek clean

By Andrea FERRARI

ANGLERS are encouraged to rally to a call from OzFish Unlimited for its Keep It Clean working bee at Coffs Creek on Saturday 17 February.

OzFish Unlimited, Australia’s fishing conservation charity, together with NSW Department of Primary Industries Fisheries, are calling on recreational anglers to help clean up Coffs Creek around the Edgar Street boat ramp.

“No one wants to catch a plastic bag when they’re out on the water and we know the impacts litter can have on local wildlife and marine life,” said Jonathon Bleakley, OzFish spokesperson.

“Clean-ups like this make for a better fishing experience for all involved.

“Recreational fishers see the impacts of litter.

“It’s not always recreational fishing litter that we’re cleaning up, but by getting involved fishos are inspiring others to think local and create change.

“We simply need Coffs Harbour anglers to come down and give a few hours to better the local environment,” he said.

Volunteers can meet the clean-up crew at Edgar Street boat ramp at 9am, encouraged to stay for two hours.

OzFish will supply all the necessary equipment for the clean-up to take place but are encouraging volunteers to bring water and wear sun-safe clothing.

This community event is also a Yabby Trap Drop Spot.

‘Forest Chaplaincy’ to be officially launched in Gleniffer q

By Mary KEILY

ON Sunday 18 February at 2pm at an outdoor service on the grounds of Gleniffer Church, the Uniting Church Mid North Coast Presbytery will induct Reverend Dr Jason John into the unique role of ‘Forest Chaplain’.

Although Jason has performed the role since November last year, next Sunday will provide an opportunity for the community to meet him and learn more about the role.

Funded by the Quakers and the Uniting Church, the role of the ‘Forest Chaplain’ is to provide pastoral care support to people engaged in ‘defending’ forests from potential harm, particularly within the proposed Great Koala National Park (GKNP) area.

“It can be despairing and intense work at times for them, so it’s important to give them a safe outlet for that,” Jason told NOTA. “As time goes on, there’s opportunities for people to gather together as a group and debrief that way too.

“A group of us started a forest advocacy which morphed into a chaplaincy role

Responsible Gambling Officers and other people with specified roles will also need to complete Advanced Responsible Conduct of Gambling (ARCG) training under the proposed changes.

The proposed new requirements would be implemented in stages to allow NSW venues, staff, management, and training providers time to adjust.

Minister for Gaming and Racing David

Harris said, “In NSW, gaming machines represent the highest risk of gambling harm.

“One in three people who gamble regularly are considered to be moderate or high-risk gamblers according to the Problem Gambling Severity Index.

“The introduction of Responsible Gambling Officers is the next important step in supporting people who may be experiencing gambling harm.”

Responsible Gambling Officers introduced

FROM 1 July 2024 venues with more than 20 gaming machine entitlements will be required to have a Responsible Gambling Officer on duty while poker machines are in operation.

Responsible Gambling Officers will help identify patrons at risk of harm or displaying concerning gambling behaviour, refer them to gambling support information and services and facilitate requests for self-exclusion.

All hotels and clubs with gaming machines will also be required to keep a Gambling

Incident Register and a Gaming Plan of Management.

The new requirements are being implemented through amendments to the Gaming Machines Regulation 2019.

Clubs with more than 100 gaming machine entitlements will be required to have additional Responsible Gambling Officers, to ensure enough sufficiently trained staff are available to support patrons and to ensure they have a reasonable workload across larger

Across the whole week, there’s an exchange of ideas and opinions between talented, energetic people in a supported atmosphere free from distraction.

“This is a program to provide young people with the skills to achieve better outcomes with their futures,” said Peter Farquhar, Vocational Service Director for the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour.

“It turns under achievers into achievers, achievers into super achievers,” he said.

“The true value of becoming an alumnus

of the Rotary Youth Leadership Award program is possessing an awareness and appreciation of your skills for planning and achieving success.

“Many RYLArians have gone on to be leaders in their chosen fields.”

Participants must be 19 - 27 years of age and will ideally be involved in some form of leadership within their communities or have shown leadership potential in the workplace.

RYLA is a powerful and valuable leadership program designed to encourage and develop skills that participants can positively contribute to their communities.

Many former RYLA Awardees have benefited in ways far beyond the course

A NEW campaign has been launched to target vaping rates, aimed at reminding young people that ‘every vape is a hit to your health’.

The campaign, launched by the NSW Government and developed by Cancer Institute NSW, features people aged fourteen to 24 who have experienced the harms of vaping.

The campaign also encourages young people to consider the proven health harms of vaping, such as nicotine addiction, lung damage, breathlessness, nicotine poisoning and burns from exploding vapes.

It comes as the latest NSW Population Health Survey shows current vaping among people aged sixteen to 24 has significantly increased to 16.5 percent in 2021-22, up from 4.5 percent two years prior.

Professor Tracey O’Brien, Chief Cancer Officer and CEO of Cancer Institute NSW expressed concern that a new generation of people will become addicted to smoking if vaping use continues to increase.

“Vapes can be highly addictive, with many vapes containing even higher levels of nicotine than cigarettes,” she said.

“Even vapes labelled as nicotinefree often contain this highly addictive substance.

“Not only are vapes full of harmful chemicals that have been known to cause cancer, there is also growing evidence that non-smokers who vape are more likely to take up smoking, which can significantly increase their cancer risk.”

Minister for Health Ryan Park spoke of the challenges in changing young people’s

smoking and vaping habits.

“It took us over three quarters of a century to reduce smoking among men from around 72 percent to fourteen percent,” he said.

“We have an opportunity to stem the tide of another emerging public health crisis that could have a lasting impact for generations of young people to come.

“This is very important because we know regular nicotine consumption can cause changes to a young person’s brain development, learning and memory, and may worsen stress, depression and anxiety.”

The new youth-targeted campaign comes after the NSW Government convened a roundtable last year to address the growing issue of vaping in schools.

Since then the NSW Department

of Education is continuing to update curriculum resources so they better address the dangers of vaping.

An online training module for school staff is also being created to have conversations with students, and webinar resources will soon be available for parents and carers.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said, “Vaping is a serious issue and it is having a significant impact on students and young people.

“It is important that as we work together to tackle the scourge of vaping, we lead with an evidenced-based approach, and bring the experiences of young people to the forefront.”

A PLAN to tackle the state’s housing crisis has been announced by the NSW Government, with a reform bringing key stakeholder groups and government departments together under one banner.

The new agency, Homes NSW, will bring together the housing and homelessness services of the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ), NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) and the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO).

Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson said the creation of a single

agency to manage social and affordable housing and homelessness services is a “common sense approach”.

Homes NSW will be tasked with turbocharging the construction, maintenance and repair of social and affordable homes across the state.

It is hoped the reform will simplify tenancy services, provide important homelessness services, and drive collaboration between State and Federal Governments, sector experts, peak bodies, local councils, and community housing

providers.

“We need safe, good quality, accessible homes for people who need them most,” Ms Jackson said.

“Homes NSW is a crucial part of this work.

“Adequate housing is a basic human right and Homes NSW will be the driver of much needed and long overdue reform to the social and affordable housing sector.

“For too long, social housing in this state has been neglected – simple issues such as a leaking tap or even the ability to register

on the waitlist have been unnecessarily complicated. ‘’That’s why this overhaul is needed.”

Homes NSW Chief Executive Rebecca Pinkstone said the aim is to create the “best social housing system in the country”.

"I look forward to the challenge of building a thriving social and affordable housing sector in NSW,” she said.

“We will work in partnership to maximise homes on the ground, reduce instances of homelessness and deliver a quality housing service for our residents.”

SAWTELL Chillifest and Curryfest are among some of the signature events previously boosted through a special City of Coffs Harbour funding support stream.

Now the door has opened for a fresh round of funding through the program.

“Headline events are an important part of a place where magic happens, and the City of Coffs Harbour is proud to support our local events industry through this funding,” City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Cr Paul Amos said.

“Organisers of new events and established ones are encouraged to put

their hand up in the latest round of support grants.”

Applications are now open in the second round of funding for the current financial year in two categories.

• Event Seed Funding – up to $5,000 - for new events (never run before), within their first three years or events which are new to Coffs Harbour or returning to the area for the first time in more than 10 years; and • Event Destination Marketing Funding – up to $10,000 – for events targeting overnight visitation from outside

the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area (LGA).

This funding is designed to assist in developing a marketing campaign to drive visitation to the Coffs Coast, and the event, from outside the LGA. This funding is available to established events within the Coffs Harbour LGA (run at least three times in the past five years).

“Curryfest, Screenwave International Film Festival, Sawtell Chillifest, Coffs Coast Festival of Motorsport and Coffs Coast Ocean Swims are some of the events to have benefitted from this program in the

past,” City of Coffs Harbour City Planning and Communities Director Chris Chapman said.

The current round is for events running before 30 June 2024.

Applications will close at 4pm on 15 February.

Court’s balancing act in disputed Will

HARRY passes-away leaving an estate worth $3 million.

Harry’s will, prepared 30 years ago, leaves his whole estate to his son, George.

He makes no provision for his three daughters.

The three daughters make “family provision” claims against Harry’s estate.

At the hearing, the daughters ask the Court to award each of them $600,000 and express the view that it is appropriate for them to be treated equally.

There is no evidence as to why Harry chose to disinherit his daughters.

George submits that the daughters should not be treated equally and suggests that given their respective financial needs, they should only be entitled to receive amounts ranging between $100,000 and $300,000.

During the course of the hearing, the Court hears that George worked on the family farm for many decades.

The Court also hears that the three daughters grew-up on the farm and after moving-out, there were periods of estrangement between them and their father.

George states that he wishes to continue to operate the family farm, although the Court notes that at the time of hearing, George is in his 60s and the farm is no longer profitable.

The Court hears that one of the daughters will soon require a placement in a nursing home and accordingly, the payment of a substantial bond.

Another daughter has substantial health problems and wishes to pay-off her mortgage with a view to retiring.

The other daughter is gainfully employed but her home, which needs substantial repairs, is subject to a mortgage and she has very little superannuation.

The Court states that it is a difficult task to properly balance the claims of all the parties and although it is not the Court’s role to re-write Harry’s will, on the basis of “community expectations” and Harry’s “moral duty” to each of his children, orders lump-sum payments of $600,000, $450,000 and $300,000 to each of the plaintiff daughters.

DEAR Jasminda,

HOW do I know if a social media friend request is legitimate?

I live alone with my two dogs having recently moved to the area.

Are renewables contributing to climate change?

DEAR News Of The Area,

CAN someone please explain how renewable energy systems do not contribute to climate change?

It is a fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted from one type to another, e.g. wind energy to electrical energy.

It is the energy in the atmosphere that powers the weather and climate.

This energy ultimately comes from the sun.

If we install millions of solar panels, which intercept this energy from the sun, preventing it from being naturally absorbed by the atmosphere, as it otherwise would, we are reducing the energy available to drive the weather and climate.

Then we install wind turbines which

Wendy K. Dear Wendy,

extract more energy from the atmosphere.

Again, reducing the energy available to drive the weather and climate.

Given the vast amounts of energy that will be required by a modern electronic society, particularly with the addition of electric vehicles and an ever increasing population, are we not running the risk of altering the weather and climate?

If the climate is so fragile that a miniscule amount of carbon dioxide can cause an "allencompassing climate change disaster", as claimed by climate change advocates, then surely the vast extraction of energy from this fragile climate system must have a similar effect of altering the climate.

Regards, Wayne DUESBURY, Boambee.

Has sea level rise been considered?

DEAR News Of The Area,

WE have followed the ‘fortunes’ of the Jetty Foreshores lands for many years, always wondering why nobody mentions the likely effects of sea level rise and increased cyclone activity in the not-toodistant future.

Now, we, and many others, are wondering why our State Government has refused a most reasonable offer that would see the land used in such a way that climatic events would not mean enormous infrastructure losses.

This beautiful, relatively natural area would remain open and accessible to the ordinary folk of our state.

We can plainly see that developers only have to win once; the rest is just nibbling negotiation to get exactly what they want.

The land that was the property of the people of the State becomes private property forever (and could even be sold to foreign investors).

Investigations are rarely pursued and

18 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

are easily quashed if they begin, but we do hope that questions are asked, and asked before Property and Development NSW lodge their formal rezoning proposal for the Jetty Foreshores land with the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.

Predictably, at this advanced stage, the public will once again be invited to ‘provide feedback’, without any consideration of their previous submissions.

No action should be taken until this matter has been made part of political platform policy and tested again in the electorate at a State Election.

If developer’s expectations have been raised, this is the time to deflate them.

The land is climatically unsuitable for development, as historic photographs of cyclonic storm waves breaking over the railway lines show, and it is vital as open recreational space in our increasingly populous community.

We need wild and partly wild places – public places without private precincts.

The first thing to check is their location.

While you may love to know someone from Florida or Wisconsin, you have to ask yourself why, if they are living so far away, do they want to strike up a friendship.

Other major 'alert and alarmed' signs include men or women dressed in military uniforms, men who look like Dr Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy (particularly if they have a stethoscope casually draped around their neck) and widowed men holding Maltese terriers with flexed biceps.

Sounds sustainable to me DEAR News Of The Area,

IN answer to Warren Tindall’s question in his letter titled ‘Why are today’s logs so small?’ in the Coffs Coast NOTA (2/2/24), part of the reason that “today’s logs are so small” is that timber harvesting only occurs in regrowth forests in NSW. Regrowth forests contain a mix of regenerating, young pole and early mature forest that has been harvested for timber many times over the last 150 years.

The average log size from regrowth forests is smaller than the logs being harvested prior to the introduction of the Regional Forest Agreement in March 2000.

Before the RFAs, sawmills sourced their timber from both existing regrowth forests along the coast and older, more mature

Regards, Judy QUICKENDEN, Coffs Coast.

forests further inland.

Many of these older forests were classified as “old growth”, as part of the Comprehensive Regional Assessment-RFA process and were protected in conservation reserves or by prescription through regulation.

Currently, over 90 percent of known oldgrowth forests on public lands are within formal or informal nature conservation reserves (http://www.oldforests.com.au/ pages/Presentations/Clancy.pdf).

The change in average log size is entirely because of these changes, not overcutting, as suggested by Mr Tindall.

As an incentive to invest in technology capable of handling a smaller average log size, sawmills were offered resource security in the form of Wood Supply Agreements,

which reflected both the terms of the RFA and the sustainable yield of timber from the forest.

On State forests, the sustainable yield is calculated over a rolling 100-year period, which were updated following the 2019-20 bushfires.

Simply put, the sustainable yield is ensuring the amount of timber harvested or allocated under contracts does not exceed the growth rate of the forest.

On the north coast, despite the widespread impacts of the fires, the longterm sustainable timber yield had only declined by four percent and “the models show that the total volume of timber produced today can be sustained over the long term” (Source: https://www.forestrycorporation. com.au/sustainability/the-story-of-forestry/

timber-volumes-and-modelling).

That sounds sustainable to me.

Mr Tindall’s reference to jinkers (log trucks) full of “diminishing matchsticks”, as evidence of the decline in log diameters, and claims that “poor quality timber comes from the skinny resource”, fails to acknowledge that plantations and regrowth forests require thinning of the slower growing and defective stems to promote the growth of the better quality, healthier retained stems.

As a forest scientist with more than 35 years’ experience on the NSW north coast in both public and private sector forestry and land management, I think I have a pretty good handle on “post-war logging history and the current resource’s maths”.

Regards, Steve DOBBYNS, Jamax Forest Solutions.

Does Council have a spare $6.7 million?

DEAR News Of The Area,

IT IS amazing how fast our current Mayor and Councillors have learnt the bad habits of the previous Council.

Most of us will remember how the previous Mayor and four Councillors totally disregarded a huge petition and widespread public opposition to building the Council’s new headquarters above a library and art gallery.

They listened only to the small group who agreed with their plan and put us in debt for $80,000,000.

Our current Council, led by a Mayor and Deputy Mayor who have the numbers and are strongly opposed to any significant development of the Jetty Foreshores, are repeating the previous Council’s mistakes.

Extensive research has shown that there is majority support for responsible, balanced development, which would inject some life into this area.

The majority of Councillors consistently ignore this fact and listen only to a vocal minority, which includes many of the residents fortunate enough to live near the harbour.

Council's recent offer to spend $6,700,000 of ratepayers’ money to buy a key parcel of foreshores land is a classic example of spending our money on their pet project.

Of course, there was no public consultation prior to this offer.

What the Mayor didn’t mention in last week’s NOTA article was that if Council could buy the land it wanted, it would be a major blow to the proposed harbour foreshores master plan and that’s really what this whole scheme was about.

This is the same Council which last

year cut $55,000,000 from the works budget, and also cancelled a number of popular community projects for which grants had been received.

Fortunately there’s an election this year.

So do we really want to put the Coucillors supporting this latest extravagance back in power?

Regards, Patrick WALTERS, Coffs Harbour.

“We added an extra team from Macksville, so we no longer have a bye which is great news,” he said.

The second season goes for six rounds, with the semi-finals to be played on Saturday, 16 March.

The top four teams on the ladder will play off for the A title, with teams finishing between 5th and 8th playing off for the B title.

The grand finals will be played on Saturday, 23 March.

Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s Under 10s, Under 14s, and Under 16s seasons resumed this week.

WELL, here we go again at Safety Beach golf course. Our very keen group of ladies haven’t been letting the grass grow under their feet and have been doing their due diligence and enjoying golfing in the new year, even though the heat has been pretty trying at times.

To bring you up to date, Pro Terry ran a Side Bet comp over January and the first week was won

by Lex Bailey and Deb Morrison on 37 pts and Marian Brading 32 pts.

Second week was won by Wendy Rogers 41pts, runnersup Lex Bailey 40 pts and Glenda Kennedy 39 pts.

Third week was a washout but Deb Morrison won week four with 43 pts, runner-up Marian Brading 36 pts and Karen Bellamy 35 pts.

Final week Julie Castle 38 pts with Michelle Merrikin, Linda MacDonald third with 36 pts. As is obvious, we have a lot of very proficient golfers.

The new program for 2024 competition is opening with a 2 Person Ambrose. Many invitations have already been received from other clubs and we are all planning our diaries. Happy golfing in 2024 everyone.

Coffs Harbour hosts Northern Eagles Junior Championships q Preston Burbidge goes on the attack for the Coffs Harbour Hurricanes.

By Aiden BURGESS THE Coffs Coast’s best junior touch players have excelled against Northern NSW’s finest during the Northern Eagles Junior Championships at Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park.

The Coffs Harbour Hurricanes hosted the event which attracted over 800 players.

Hurricanes vice-president Judith McNeill said Coffs Harbour teams exceeded expectations.

“It was awesome to see so many kids from all over Northern NSW compete for the title,” she said.

“With over 800 competitors from eleven clubs, it was a great opportunity for affiliates to showcase their Under 10s to Under 18s representative teams.

“The event also serves as a selection tournament for the Northern NSW teams that will compete at the Junior Regional Championships in April.

“We were able to send six Coffs teams to compete this year and they all surpassed our expectations.

“With all of our teams making the finals series, we’re hopeful that several of our players will be selected to represent the Northern Eagles.”

McNeill particularly praised the performance of the Coffs Under 10s team.

“The Coffs Under 10s team were dominant in their division,” she said.

“They finished Day 1 at the top of their pool with two wins and one draw.

“Day 2 brought scorching 33-degree heat, but this could not slow down the Coffs boys with them winning their four remaining games, taking out the Grand Final against the Port Macquarie Makos 13-10.”

Coffs Under 10s coach Jackie Galvin, who had twin boys, Rocco and Blake, in the team, said the players were already looking forward to their next games.

“I’m so proud of the boys and they are already talking about their next big game,” she said.

With some of the boys playing in different teams for social Touch, it was important for the team to gel as a whole group, something Jackie emphasised in her coaching sessions with the team.

“Going into Round 1, we were just hoping they would find their rhythm and be competitive,” she said.

“So, when they won their first game 11-2, we were completely blown away and we knew it was going to be a special weekend.”

Woolgoolga Touch also had great success at

the event with their Girls 12s team, coached by Tania White and Libby Mangion, also winning their division.

“We couldn’t be prouder of the girls.” Tania said.

“For many of them, it was their first go at representative touch.

“They started the comp off slow with a loss to Ballina, but they continued to improve upon each game throughout the weekend, and by the time finals began they were playing at their best.”

The Girls 12s eventually went on to win their division in an exciting upset which saw them turn the tables on division favourites, Ballina Bull Sharks, winning the game, 3-0.

Both Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga are relatively new affiliates to NRL Touch, and both clubs are buoyed by their recent success at the Northern Eagles Junior Championships.

“It’s just so encouraging to see so many kids from the Coffs Coast attending the tournament, improving their skills and having success,” Judith McNeill said.

“We can’t wait for next year, where we can continue to take on the more established clubs like Port Macquarie, who took out the honours of Affiliate of the Tournament.”

Dearly loved and missed.

With love from husband Peter, children Stephen and Sue, grandchildren and great grandchildren. e090224

Stephen John Timms Our dear dad passed away at home in Bellingen on 21st January 2024.

A wonderful and much cherished father, son, brother and loyal friend who's selfless and generous devotion of his time and energy to those he loved was always done with kindness and compassion. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts and minds and it is impossible to articulate how much we will love and miss you always.

We are beyond grateful to our loving mum, who selflessly sacrificed throughout the years to provide us with love, support and help wherever she could. We can never thank you enough.

Also thanks to the Bellingen Community Nurses that assisted us throughout the years and to Bronwyn from Urunga Medical Centre for going out of her way to help dad.

Farewell old friend. May you always experience supreme peace, comfort, happiness and great bliss.

MARY BERRY’S LOVE TO COOK

SBS FOOD, 7.30pm

MONDAY

THE IRRATIONAL

SEVEN, 9.15pm

Who needs a hardened cop with a drinking problem when you can be seduced by a smartly dressed behavioural scientist who has a twinkle in his eye and a knack for grasping human nature? Law & Order’s Jesse L. Martin shines bright in this witty American procedural that sticks to a pleasingly traditional formula. Martin’s dogged Alec Mercer is the consummate professional. In tonight’s movie-length premiere, a former marine confesses to murdering his influencer girlfriend, but it doesn’t add up for Mercer.

Most folks can’t wait to retire, with visions of eating and just generally relaxing in their twilight years. For The Great British Bake Off’s Mary Berry, all she wants to do is cook. Berry has published around 100 cookbooks throughout her still-evolving 60-year career, but the 88-year-old is also a charming host with a passion for sharing lipsmacking recipes through her many TV shows.

You could call her the David Attenborough of the cooking world.

In this new series she branches out, meeting other cooks, growers and foodies to share tales and dishes. In tonight’s premiere, fresh air beckons in Berry’s idyllic garden.

WEDNESDAY

MR BATES VS THE POST OFFICE SEVEN, 8.30pm

Every now and then, a TV show ascends to more than just an entertaining distraction. A hit in Britain, this superb four-part drama based on real events outraged viewers and has placed pressure on the British government to overturn wrongful convictions in with its uncovering of a miscarriage of justice that is hard to fathom. This four-part series covers a scandal that spanned 15 years involving a faulty IT system in the British Post Office, which led to financial ruin for hundreds.
