“It was really a once in a lifetime experience, to see so many not only friends and family but supporters of women's rugby out there was really amazing to see.

“And to be able to see the next generation of young boys and girls standing at the fence cheering, just as excited as I was at that age was very surreal.

“Kaitlan and Bri have such high energy levels, the girls are tough, it’s the area they come from, they are just tough and great to play with.

NAIDOC Week flag raising ceremony at Coffs Harbour City Council FROM Page 1 at the ceremony, which was shortened this year due to COVID-19 restrictions currently in place.

“Today’s flag raising once again gives honour to our own Aboriginal community who 17 years ago approached Council with the proposal to not only raise the flag at the Council Chambers, but to hold a week of celebration, and Council was most certainly open to that and welcomed it with open arms,” Mayor Knight said.

“COVID has slowed us down, but it certainly hasn’t stopped our enthusiasm and our passion for our local Aboriginal community and our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders throughout the whole of Australia.”

Mayor Denise Knight and Toni-Anne Hart and Aunty Narelle Wilson from the Yandaarra Aborignal Advisory Committee raised the Aboriginal flag, Australian flag and the Council flag at the ceremony.

Hatched - baby penguin pair TWIN penguin chicks have been born at Coffs Dolphin Marine Conservation Park (DMCP) joining their colony of Little Blue Penguins.

Born two days apart to first-time parents, Shona and Eric, the chicks are doing well.

Life Science Manager Tiga Cross said, "It's been an exciting and nerve-wracking time waiting for the eggs to hatch.

“Penguin eggs usually take around 40 days to incubate, and it's not uncommon for eggs not to hatch.

“But we're delighted to report that both of Shona's eggs have hatched into these cute fluff balls."

Breeding season can change from year to year, depending on climatic conditions, but generally, penguins nest from June to August.

“However, the good news is that this new pair are doing extremely well so far," said Tiga.

Visitors can't see the chicks yet as they are cared for in their burrows by Shona and Eric who protectively co-parent the twins and keep them nourished with a diet of regurgitated fish.

Dine and Discover extended

By Tara CAMPBELL

THE NSW Government’s Dine and Discover incentive is being extended and expanded to support businesses impacted by the recent COVID-19 restrictions.

The vouchers were originally intended to end in June, however were extended due to over half the vouchers still unused and were extended until the end of July.

Due to state-wide restrictions and Greater Sydney lockdown, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet announced plans to extend this scheme until August 31.

The Dine and Discover scheme now includes takeaway food orders on the condition that food is directly

delivered by the restaurant or café.

Food cannot be picked up or delivered by a third-party delivery platform (including Deliveroo, Menulog, UberEats etc).

Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said that the vouchers have been popular and have played a vital part in keeping businesses afloat in these hard times.

“People of all ages and walks of life are giving them a go and we don’t want anyone to miss out.

“This extension will ensure everyone has a chance to use all four of their vouchers,” Mr Perrottet said.

All NSW residents over the age of eighteen are eligible for the scheme and

will receive four vouchers: two $25 dining vouchers that are to be used at hospitality venues or takeaway, and two $25 discover vouchers for use on recreational activities such as zoos, cinemas, bowling, tours or concerts.

COVID safe businesses are encouraged to register as providers and customers are encouraged to sign up for their vouchers via the Service NSW app.

“We’re giving people more time to take full advantage of these vouchers, so make sure you sign up and use them before you lose them,” Mr Perrottet said.

Free registration for pound puppies THOSE who choose to adopt a rescue pet from a Council pound, animal shelter or rehoming organisation will now be rewarded with free lifetime pet registration.

From 1 July, the NSW Government introduced free lifetime registration for people who adopt a rescue pet from Council pounds, animal shelters and rehoming organisations.

New registration and permit fees have also been introduced for animals for 2021-22, effective from 1 July, with the baseline registration fee for a dog now $66 and the registration fee for a cat is $56.

Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock said she was delighted to announce the free pet registration to help ensure more dogs and cats find a forever home.

“I know only too well the challenges faced by pounds and animal shelters in finding forever homes for cats and dogs, especially with the increased demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Ms Hancock said.

“The initiative will encourage prospective pet owners to ‘adopt not shop’ for a dog or cat, ease the burden on council pounds and animal shelters, and reduce euthanasia rates in NSW.” In 2015, the NSW Government introduced a 50 per cent discount on lifetime pet registration fees for people who rescue dogs and cats from council pounds and animal shelters, which was extended to include rehoming organisations in

2018.

Figures collected from NSW councils for 2019-20 show that the number of animals entering pounds decreased by 15 percent for dogs and almost 12 percent for cats compared to the previous year.

They also show that 86 percent of dogs and 60 percent of cats were returned to their owners, rehomed or sold.

All cats and dogs must be registered by six months of age, and owners are encouraged to have their cat or dog desexed before registering it.

The registration fee is a onceonly payment, which covers the cat or dog for its lifetime in NSW, regardless of any changes in ownership.

Registration fees are used by councils for providing animal management related services to the community.

These may include ranger services, pound facilities, dog refuse bins, educational and other companion animal-related activities.

Those who fail to register their cat or dog when required to do so may be issued with a fixed penalty notice of $330, or a court may award a maximum penalty of up to $5,500 or up to $6,500 if the dog is a restricted dog or a declared dangerous or menacing dog.

The NSW Government is providing $5.8 million from the Companion Animals Fund to

q Pet owners who purchase a dog or cat from a pound, animal shelter or rehoming organisation will receive free pet registration.

128 local councils in the 202122 financial year for companion animal management including pounds and shelters, ranger services, dog recreation areas, and education and awareness programs.

The Government has also introduced $80 annual permits for owners of non-desexed cats to encourage desexing to prevent unwanted litters, and lessen the burden on pounds and shelters.

“We will continue to work

with councils and animal welfare and rehoming organisations to promote responsible pet ownership and strengthen companion animal management across NSW,” Ms Hancock said.

A list of registration categories and the new fees for 2021-22 is provided on the Office of Local Government website at www.olg. nsw.gov.au/public/dogs-cats/ nsw-pet-registry/microchippingand-registration.

Recycled water charge causes Council debate

By Emma DARBIN MUCH debate ensued over Coffs Harbour City Council’s rates and charges for the 2021/22 financial year, with councillors arguing over the inclusion of Recycled Water charges for agricultural users.

The annual rates and charges incorporate an increase in Council’s General Income of 2% for 2021/22, being the rate peg approved

by IPART. Council had recommended in a report that the Recycled Water Access and Licencing Charge be set at $447 per year, three times the Residential Water Access Charge.

Cr Tegan Swan questioned the rationale behind Council charging three times the access fee for recycled water, and Cr Paul Amos raised concern over local clubs being caught up in the Recycled Water Access charge.

Cr John Arkan called for Council to reduce the fee amounts Council had set for the use of recycled water.

“Up to three times

an amount seems rather excessive,” Cr Arkan stated.

Cr Arkan called for Council to change the annual Recycled Water Access and Licensing Charge from $447 per year to $152 per year.

“We don’t want to be penalising people that are using that water, we want to be encouraging the use of

that water,” Cr Arkan stated.

“We want to be encouraging people to take up the use of all things.

“There is already an enormous cost to users of that water in infrastructure and running costs.”

Council currently spends around $800,000 a year to supply recycled water to

users.

The original fees and charges recommended

by Council would recoup between $100,000 and $150,000 of that $800,000 that Council spends annually.

“It’s a minor recoupment,” Council’s Director of Sustainable Infrastructure Mick Raby said.

“At the moment without those fees and charges we recoup nothing.”

Cr Tegan Swan said Council shouldn’t be charging one user group for recycled water access when other user groups are able to access it for free.

“One user group is being charged for everyone else’s access; I just dont think that’s fair or equitable,” Cr Swan said.

“I think it’s important for us to tread softly and to be fair with this.

“To be encouraging people to access this water I think is

NSW Government calls for diverse Council candidates

By Emma DARBIN PEOPLE from all walks of life are being encouraged to stand for their community at the upcoming Local Government election.

The NSW Government has launched the ‘Stand for Your Community - Diversity Counts’ campaign to increase diversity within local government by increasing the number of candidates from under-represented groups at the September 4 council elections.

The social media campaign is targeting women, younger people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and members of multicultural communities.

Currently, only four per cent of councillors

are aged under 30, just 24 of the State’s 1,293 councillors identify as being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, linguistically diverse people make up only 8 percent of all councillors, and women represent less than a third of all councillors in NSW despite making up more than half of the State’s population.

The ‘Stand for Your Community – Diversity Counts’ social media campaign is running for four weeks on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram and includes inspiring videos of current councillors from under-represented groups sharing their positive experiences.

This new campaign follows the NSW Government’s ‘Women for Election to Local Government’ campaign last year to increase

very important.”

Cr Paul Amos said he had been “an advocate for not charging this very small group of growers”.

“But certainly I think they still should be penalised if they have an allocation and they go over it,” Cr Amos said.

Changes to the Recycled Water Access fees and charges were approved 5 votes to 1, with Crs John Arkan, Michael Adendorff, Paul Amos, Sally Townley and Tegan Swan voting for the changes and Cr Denise Knight voting against the changes.

Cr Keith Rhoades took no part in the vote due to a conflict of interest, and Cr George Cecato was absent from the meeting.

Council approved an annual Recycled Water Access and Licencing Charge for 2021/22 of $152 per year (equivalent to the Residential Water Access Charge) and a Recycled Water Usage Charge of $2 per kilolitre for excess usage of the allocated supply for all users including nonrateable, non-commercial and sporting bodies.

The base amount of Residential rates was also approved at $419, Business rates at $661, Business (City Centre Business) rates at $661 and Farmland rates at $419.

Council will apply an interest rate of 6% from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 on overdue rates and charges.

female representation in local councils across the State.

The Office of Local Government has launched a comprehensive online training tool and guides for council candidates at www. olg.nsw.gov.au/story.html to provide them with detailed information about running for election and the role and responsibilities of a councillor.

Nominations for candidates for the upcoming Council election open on Monday 26 July and close at 12pm on Wednesday 4 August.

Pre-poll voting opens on 23 August, followed by election day on Saturday 4 September from 8am to 6pm.

Results will be declared progressively as counts are finalised by the election manager from 7 September.

These actions were part of a national week of action by the #StopAdani movement targeting BlackRock, HSBC, State Bank of India, JP Morgan,

and MUFG, the biggest investors in the Adani Group.

“These investors are enabling Adani’s massive coal expansion plans,” said Liisa Rusanen, spokesperson for Coffs Coast Climate Action Group.

“We’ve visited the ‘big things’ to highlight just how big a problem coal is,” she said.

“It is the biggest driver of climate change, fueling the increase in extreme weather events and climate impacts like droughts, bushfires and floods and Adani’s dirty coal mine would destroy indigenous lands, risk precious water resources and be another nail in the coffin

for coral reefs.”

The national week of action included letter-delivery actions at investor offices around the country and online campaigns.

The Coffs Coast Climate Action Group hosted a ‘Digital Storms’ action, with the aim of flooding the executives of the investing companies with phone calls, emails, calendar reminders and social media messages.

Ms Rusanen said, “Adani knows their coal mine is risky and unpopular - that’s why they are quietly shuffling investor money through their corporate empire to fund it - but it’s time these big investors took

responsibility for their role in this destructive project.

“We’re calling on them to use their influence and demand Adani stop work on the Carmichael coal mine, or else pull their money out from Adani,” she explained.

“Our movement is made of ordinary people around the country, and internationally, who are determined to stand up to Adani’s destruction,” Ms Rusanen said.

“We’ve already won commitments from 100 major banks and contractors to rule out working with Adani and these investors must be next.”

Testing Times THE importance of undergoing Covid-19 tests is greater than ever.

Testing numbers have increased dramatically, after cases were identified in Sydney and the Central Coast.

If you have any of the following symptoms, you will need to have a test to rule out COVID-19: ● Blocked nose ● Sore throat

FREE

DELIVERY OR PICK UP

● Headache ● Coughing ● Fever ● Shortness of breath

The procedure is quick, and involves a swab of both nostrils and the back of the throat.

Once the test is complete, you must go home and isolate until you get a negative test result back.

Do not stop anywhere on the way home.

Results usually arrive via text message within 24-

48 hours, however with increased numbers of tests being conducted, results may take up to three days.

If you do test positive for COVID-19, you will receive a phone call from a NSW Health official.

Hopes and Treasures for the Homeless

By David WIGLEY

COFFS Harbour’s newest shop, Hopes and Treasures has made a remarkable transformation after one month of trading, with the help of Hope for the Homeless volunteers.

Mark Tanner, who previously managed the Nambucca Hope for the Homeless shop, joined forces with Fay Rollans from Trendy Treasures to create a new store called Hopes and Treasures.

The industrious

volunteers have turned the premises into a shop for all budgets and Mark believes the new location in the heart of town will be a game changer.

“Having a location in the heart of town will make a big difference, we are just south of Park Avenue on the Pacific Highway, so it’s easy to get to, we’re in the middle of town.

“The Hope for the Homeless volunteers have worked incredibly hard to make this happen, the shop has a broad appeal for any budget and it’s for a great

cause to help the homeless.

“There’s something for everyone, everyday items like DVDs and books are only one dollar, we have two dollar clothing, cricket bats, TV’s, new clothing, and a whole lot more, it changes every week.

“Joining forces with Fay from Trendy Treasures has been exciting, there’s beautiful evening wear, wedding dresses and vintage dresses, they are all individually priced and things you don’t see, they are unique.”

“Unfortunately numbers

have dropped off following the latest COVID-19 regulations but we are hoping customers pop in and check us out, we are open six days a week and have a fantastic shop of treasure that goes to a great cause,” said Mark.

Hope for the Homeless CEO Dean Evers believes keeping prices as low as possible will help families and individuals who are doing it tough.

“We are very conscious of the needs of the community and we do our very best to ensure those needs can be met where possible.

“Community focus has long been our driving force, we welcome all to drop into Hopes and Treasures and say hi,” said Dean.

Help for men at rock bottom

By Andrea FERRARI

‘DRINK ‘til you drop and that’s where you sleep’ is a philosophy John Edwards lived by for many years, struggling with alcoholism, drug addiction and homelessness.

Now sober, safe and sixty-plus, John, a resident of Coffs for the past ten years, told News Of The Area about what led to his time spent on the street and how he eventually found help.

It’s a story that follows the common connection that alcohol and drugs have with trauma in the home and domestic violence.

“I’d left home once by the

age of twelve but went back and by fourteen I was an alcohol and drug addict.”

When asked what it was like at home, John says “not good”.

“I was physically, mentally and sexually abused by people who came to our house, men and women.”

There was always alcohol involved, he said, “everywhere”.

As a fifteen-year-old, John got a job but continued abusing drugs and alcohol.

“I couldn’t keep jobs, I was too angry, and was heavy on the grog, but I got a job in Tasmania which is where I met my first wife.”

At this time he was on doctor-prescribed antidepressants, but his anger continued to ruin his relationships, and three wives later he got in trouble with the law.

“I got told I had to sort out my anger issues so I decided to come up to Coffs.

“I found a doctor who gave me two contacts; the first didn’t pick up the phone and the second was Bridging The Gap who helped me from day one.”

John was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and given medication that “changed my life within half an hour”.

He also attended a Christian meeting where he feels he received a healing, and literally praises God for his enriched new life, at 63.

John can’t change the

“The meeting was very successful, it’s all we could have asked for; great questions and feedback all of which we can use to develop the pilot scheme,” Vicki Parkes, a member of the Housing Matters

Community Hosting Working Group told News Of The Area.

“Interestingly it was mostly hosts who attended, and one tenant, all Bellingen Shire residents.

“We now have five hosts who are willing to proceed with developing the hosting project with us.”

All attendees were given an information pack with guidelines, things to think about and review our agreement for a trial period with a lodger.

“We felt that both the lodger and the host wouldn’t want to be obligated to a six-month lease without a trial.

“We’re suggesting a three-month lease which people can get out of with two weeks notice and no penalty,” said Vicki.

The Housing Matters group is doing the pilot to learn and hone the agreement, “To have hosts help us further develop the finer points.”

Attendees were also impressed with the work already achieved, especially the connection with flatmate.com.

“We’re doing all this with funding from the Bellingen Shire Disaster and Recovery Resilience Program so it’s really rewarding to find people do want what we’re developing.

“The potential lodger who came along on Saturday is keen to participate to the program from the lodger’s point of view.

“Both lodgers and hosts are required to have a strong connection with Bellingen Shire.”

They will need to provide two local references, which, said Vicki, gives a sense of trust.

Jason pedals for Parkinson’s

By Andrea FERRARI

SHAKERATTLEANDROLL 2021 is the Instagram handle for Jason Williams since a rare form of Parkinsonism (MSA-P) took its grip on Jason’s body.

He shakes, he rattles and now he’s rolling down the highway, from Burleigh Heads to Sydney and back, cycling 1800 kilometres on a mission to spread awareness of the disease, and raise funds to cover the financial impact it’s having on his family.

Living with the debilitating, degenerative disease has impacted Jason’s mental health as he faced the

diagnosis that MSA-P will take his life in two to five years.

Jason has an incredibly supportive wife, Tina, and four daughters, a loving close-knit family and community.

Chatting with News Of The Area on Day Five of his mammoth cycle ride, Jason was resting up with his brother Geoff and sisterin-law, Barb and looking forward to dinner at their home in Moonee Beach with fifteen family members.

“I was in a bit of a dark place – this disease messes with your mind, so I thought I’d start doing something for

myself.”

He got his bike out.

“One day I just said to my wife, 'I think I might ride to Sydney'.

“Then I put it up on social media.”

Committed, he started getting offers of support.

The ride has the backing of generous major sponsors, most notably LIVIN’ a notfor-profit organisation breaking the stigma of mental health, Shake it Up Australia the foundation to find a cure for Parkinson’s, and Victory Ford Coolangatta/Tweed who supplied the support van.

“The ride became more

important to me when I got the diagnosis that my MSA-P has a lifespan, it’s pretty confronting to hear that.”

Until a few years ago Jason had been fit and healthy, working as a fireman with Fire and Rescue NSW on the North Coast, latterly as Deputy Captain at 514 Banora Point.

Today he is an inspiration to others to take action in adversity, to which he said, “I’m learning along the way, I’m just being myself.”

Music makes the hospitals go round

THE Musicians in Hospitals program is evolving with the adaptability of a chameleon.

The program of live music performed in Coffs Harbour Hospital is sponsored by Coffs Harbour Council’s My Community project grant.

While the program has returned to Coffs Hospital, staying live is wholly dependent on Covid-19 restrictions.

This has driven founder Bonnie Nilsson, a registered music therapist, to develop an online version called Musicians in Health, which encompasses live and Zoom

The offer is an interactive music session which may involve patients singing along with golden oldies and pop hits or listening to international concert classics, and can include movement and voice exercises.

Council GMs remuneration under review

NSW Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock has announced a review of Council general manager and senior staff salaries and the possible appointment of an independent body to set salary rates.

The announcement follows community concern that some NSW Council general managers are getting paid more than the Australian Prime Minister, NSW Premier and President of the United States.

The remuneration package total effective for

the position of Coffs Harbour City Council’s General Manager at 30 June 2020 was $366,147, according to Council's 2019/20 Annual Report.

The remuneration package total effective for Council’s three Senior Staff positions for the period ending 30 June 2020 was $798,909.

“Currently, individual councils determine the remuneration package whilst independent arbitrators set the remuneration of NSW senior public servants, ministers and members of parliament, as well as mayors

and councillors,” Minister Hancock said.

“Therefore, the NSW Government is strongly considering mandating that salaries of general managers are set by an independent body, not by elected councillors.”

Councils currently determine the remuneration they pay to their general managers and senior staff based on a range of considerations including the skills and experience applicants bring to the role, the size and complexity of the council, market conditions and industry

benchmarks.

Councils are required to publicly report on the remuneration they pay to their general managers and senior staff in their annual reports.

A consultation paper has been issued to seek the views of the local government sector, other stakeholders and the broader community on the issue.

The consultation paper examines how executive remuneration is set in other jurisdictions and at other levels of government.

It considers a range of options from maintaining

the status quo through to introducing greater regulations of the remuneration councils may pay to their general managers and senior staff.

“The comprehensive consultation paper examines general manager salaries to address community concerns they are too high with a large disparity across the state, an increasing gap compared to salaries of other workers, and financial pressures facing some NSW councils,” Mrs Hancock said.

Mrs Hancock said the consultation paper showed general manager annual

in hospital in the first place and listening to music for a hospital patient can have varied impacts.

“The literature supports the notion that listening to music, and live music in particular, can make a difference in the patient, in terms of enhancing relaxation, providing distraction from painful procedures and in helping to ‘normalise' the hospital experience in order to cope better with it.

“In other words, music, with its uplifting distracting and soothing qualities and with the familiarity of the repertoire, may function as a form of ‘social support’ and impact positively on the coping mechanism of the hospitalised patient.”

salaries vary from $143,270 to $633,852.

“These managers should receive remuneration not only in line with their duties, skills and experience but in accordance with community expectations,” Mrs Hancock said.

“I encourage residents, businesses, council staff, councillors and local government peak bodies to make a submission by Monday 2 August 2021, which will help inform our review of general manager salaries.”

The consultation paper is available on the Office of Local Government website at www.olg.nsw.gov.au.

Mosaic pavement connects recovering community

By Andrea FERRARI AN extraordinary mosaic pavement art installation, inspired by the desire to connect and improve the health and wellbeing of the recovering Glenreagh community after the ‘Black Summer’ bushfires of 201920, has been unveiled under the village’s landmark, the Glenreagh Golden Dog. Pamela Denise, a professional visual artist and Community Cultural Development Worker

based in Nymboida was commissioned to create and guide the community art project.

Pamela lost her home and workshop in the Liberation Trail fire in 2019.

“The mosaic narrative was designed to feature stories and attributes of Glenreagh past and present,” Pamela told News Of The Area.

Minimum wage increases THE National minimum wage has increased to $20.33 per hour or $772.60 per week as of 1 July, 2021.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has issued a reminder to employers about the minimum wage increase, which was previously $19.84 per hour or $753.80 per week.

On 16 June 2021, the Fair Work Commission announced a 2.5 per cent increase to the national minimum wage, following its Annual Wage Review.

This increase applies from the first full pay period starting on or after 1 July.

Employees covered by awards will also have base rates increased by 2.5 per cent, however, these increases to award wages begin on different dates for different groups of awards.

Casual employees that the national minimum wage applies to must receive a minimum $25.41 per hour including their 25 per cent casual loading.

Most award wages will be increased from 1 July 2021, with the following exceptions: ● wages in the Retail Award will increase from 1 September 2021;

● wages in 21 other awards where the Fair Work Commission deemed there were exceptional circumstances will increase from 1 November 2021.

A list of these awards can be found at www. fairwork.gov.au.

Employees covered by awards will have their base rate increase from the first full pay period starting on or after the relevant date.

Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said workplaces are expected to ensure all their employees are paid at least the relevant minimum wage, in line with the Fair Work Commission’s decision.

“The Fair Work Ombudsman has free online tools available to help employers comply with their workplace obligations, which have been updated to reflect the new pay rates,” Ms Parker said.

“We urge all businesses to use our Pay and Conditions Tool to check the lawful minimum rates they need to pay their staff, or to contact us directly for free assistance.

“We encourage workers to use the Pay and Conditions Tool to check

CLOSURE OF INTERSECTION ROADWORKS

their rates of pay.”

If workers are unsure which award applies to them, they can use the Find my award tool.

“If employers and employees have any queries or concerns about pay rates, they can contact the Fair Work Ombudsman for free advice and assistance,” Ms Parker said.

The Fair Work Ombudsman enforces compliance with the Fair Work Act 2009, related legislation, awards and registered agreements and helps employers and employees by providing advice and education on pay rates and workplace conditions.

The Fair Work Commission is the independent national workplace relations tribunal which is responsible for maintaining a safety net of minimum wages and employment conditions, as well as a range of other workplace functions and regulation.

Employers and employees can visit www. fairwork.gov.au or call the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94 for free advice and assistance.

Draft Brelsford Park Masterplan to go on exhibition

By Emma DARBIN

A DRAFT Brelsford Park Masterplan which includes a civic entrance to the park, water play area, major event stage, amphitheatre and a mobile food and drink kiosk will soon be placed on public exhibition by Coffs Harbour City Council.

Following public exhibition, the final Brelsford Park Masterplan will be presented to Council for its approval to be incorporated into the Coffs Harbour City Centre Masterplan 2031.

The City Centre Masterplan’s vision is for Brelsford Park to be a “vibrant civic public park and focal point of the city, connecting the City Centre, community and surrounding environment through tree lined pathways”.

Brelsford Park currently only boasts two main areas of activity, the existing skate park and the children’s playground.

Future opportunities presented in the Draft

CHH

Brelsford Park Masterplan include establishing priorities for pedestrians and cyclists, creating desirable connections through Brelsford Park, improving public amenity, creating an entry point into the park, enhancing vegetation, using

the space for active recreation and a range of events, additional public seating and a mobile kiosk site, and the potential for outdoor classroom opportunities for surrounding educational establishments bordering the park.

The draft masterplan

states that “Brelsford Park is an evolutionary park that has provided its community with a diverse range of activities throughout its time and still remains to be an active and vibrant hub today”.

The Park is planned to be divided into four areas, amenities, kiosk and public seating area, event space kiosk seating and amphitheatre, active recreation, and water play.

The Draft Brelsford Park Masterplan will soon be placed on public exhibition

by Council for 28 days.

NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program COFFS Coast organisations can apply for funding to support community projects under the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the impacts of COVID-19 are being widely felt and support for struggling community organisations will remain a priority for this latest round.

“As much as $12.5 million is available statewide in 2021-22 for new or upgraded facilities across sport and recreation, arts and culture, disaster readiness and community infrastructure,” Mr Singh said.

“This is an opportunity for our local organisations to apply for funding for projects that will provide longterm benefits to the community.

“Infrastructure Grants can fund construction,

alteration, renovation, completion and fit-out of buildings and community infrastructure.

“Projects funded may include new or upgraded sports grounds, museums, theatres, homeless shelters and evacuation centres.

“This is about connecting the community, fostering participation in sport, recreation and arts, and boosting social inclusion and disaster resilience.”

Since 2015, the NSW Government has funded more than 441 community projects worth $73 million under the Infrastructure Grants program.

These grants are made possible by the Clubgrants Category 3 Fund which reinvests profits from registered clubs’ gaming machines into community projects.

Applications close on Monday 26 July.

Community act to protect polluted Woolgoolga Lake

By Emma DARBIN

COMMUNITY concern over the recent pollution of Woolgoolga Lake will see Coffs Harbour City Council investigate the cause of the breach.

Members of the Woolgoolga community raised their concerns about a potential pollution breach from what they believed to be the nearby Wiigulga Sports Complex construction site via social media on Thursday 1 July.

Woolgoolga Lake Working Group (WLWG) secretary Karen Dallas said the group was first informed about the issue via community comments on social media and stated that the group was “incredibly sad” to see the siltation and sedimentation breach.

“It is incredibly sad to see the water quality of the streams in the Woolgoolga Lake catchment impacted by such heavy suspensions of sediment in the water to pollute it severely,” Ms

Dallas said.

“Thank you to the vigilance of the Woolgoolga community for noting and informing us.”

Ms Dallas said the Woolgoolga Lake Working Group has since contacted all relevant stakeholders to inform them of the pollution breach, including Council and the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA).

“This latest wash into the Lake makes a severe impact on the Lake and its environs,” Ms Dallas said.

effective in ensuring that sediment laden water does not run off their sites and into natural waterways,” she stressed.

“The local waterways are still recovering from the extreme rainfall events in March and this avoidable incident is putting extra pressure on them.

“There needs to be education of the devastating long term effects this will have on the Woolgoolga Lake.”

Following community complaints, Council’s officers are investigating if sediment associated with

Pharmacies join vaccine rollout THREE North Coast pharmacies will soon join the COVID-19 vaccination rollout to help vaccinate residents aged over 60 with the AstraZeneca vaccine.

These include Bellingen Pharmacy, Dorrigo Plateau Pharmacy and The Urunga Pharmacy.

They are part of 22 pharmacies across regional and rural NSW soon to begin administering the AstraZeneca jab as part of a pilot program.

“The dense amount of suspended sediment, that is soil in the water, has turned the water brown and cloudy.

“Sediment can clog fish gills, reducing resistance to disease, can lower growth rates, and affect fish egg and larvae development.”

Ms Dallas called on sites near the lake to ensure they are not causing any possible pollution into the lake.

“Construction sites, agricultural developments when large areas of land are being cleared and dams being built need to ensure that their erosion and sediment control plans are

The AstraZeneca vaccinations will only be available to those aged over 60 who provide written consent for the vaccine.

The first NSW pharmacies to administer the vaccine from mid-July will be located at Gulgong, Narromine, Walcha, Dungog, Dunedoo and Merriwa where access to a GP or vaccine clinic is more limited due to geography.

There is currently significant demand for vaccination bookings across NSW and this new vaccination pathway is hoped

works being undertaken at an agricultural site close to the Wiigulga Sports Complex has contributed to the sediment runoff and will undertake the appropriate compliance action to ensure the appropriate controls are in place.

“Whilst not suspected to be the primary site of concern, the contractor working on the Wiigulga Sports Complex also, once made aware of the issue, reviewed all their current controls and, in addition, increased the levels on the perimeter silt drains and sediment control measures as additional precautions,” a Council spokesperson stated.

to make it easier for the people right across the State to get their jab.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian continued to urge the community to get vaccinated against COVID-19 at her daily press conference on Monday morning.

“There aren’t enough of us vaccinated to keep everybody safe,” Premier Berejiklian stated.

It is expected that additional pharmacies will join the COVID-19 vaccination program in the future.

Rain, hail, bushfire or shine OVER 40 Bellingen Riverwatch volunteers work together to test 30 sites of the Bellinger and Kalang catchments each and every month.

This includes testing through the 2019/20 emergency bushfire period, after recent floods, and in the cold winter months.

Head down to the Main Stage at the Bellingen Community Markets on July 17 at 11:00am to thank the Bellingen Riverwatch volunteers for their incredible commitment to testing our waterways each and every month, and especially during the 2019/2020 bushfire emergency period.

This event coincides with Bellingen Riverwatch turning five an achievement made possible by the dedication of the group's community’s citizen scientists.

During November and December 2019 Bellingen Riverwatch volunteers continued to monitor water quality at 30 sites across the Bellinger and Kalang catchments in extremely difficult conditions, including very high temperatures and thick heavy smoke.

The Bellingen Riverwatch group commenced activity

following a turtle mortality event in early 2015 which saw an estimated 90 percent of the Bellingen River Snapping Turtle population die within six weeks.

A successful turtle breeding program is now happening at Taronga Zoo Sydney and Symbio Wildlife Park and 52 captively bred turtles have been successfully released back into the wild by the NSW Government Saving Our Species team.

“We’re happy to report that the turtles that have been released are tracking well,” said Shane Ruming, Ecologist, Department Planning Industry and Environment.

To help build a picture of a catchments’ health, ongoing and regular monitoring of water quality is required to build what’s called ‘baseline data’ - a long-term picture of what’s considered normal conditions for that particular waterway. This baseline information is important for river health and the future of the turtles, as the more we know about the river the better informed we are regarding what to do next.

The program has grown to become the largest water quality monitoring program in NSW and one of the largest macroinvertebrate monitoring programs in Australia and now has

five years of water quality baseline data.

"Good data collection is at the core of good science so it is fundamental that we collect as much as possible,” said Bellingen Riverwatch volunteer and Scientist, Cassandra Vockler.

“I've always loved science and the positive changes it can make to our worlds.

“Rivers and their health are a vital part of our local ecosystem so it's critical we care for them,” said Henare Degan, Bellingen

an upgrade of the lighting.

Englands Park Tennis Club will receive a grant of $10,000 for the installation of new fencing for courts 5 and 6.

Sawtell Tennis Club President Karleaha Baylis said the upgrades would be a welcome and timely addition.

“The clay court upgrades have been in the works for about a few years, and the courts have not been wholly upgraded since the 1970’s,” she said.

“Also on our wish list was a built-in clay irrigation system.

“The other LED lights were our last big project, so after upgrading the last three we’ll now have 12 full courts with LED lighting.

“It’s not cheap to upgrade the facilities, so whenever you get a grant it’s great for the club and we are very grateful.

“Every little bit helps.”

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh congratulated the two clubs on receiving their vital grants.

“I congratulate Englands Park Tennis Club and Sawtell Tennis Club on their

Minister for Sport Natalie Ward said more than $360,000 had been awarded to clubs, associations and councils across NSW for projects which improve facilities and encourage participation.

“The NSW ATP Cup Tennis Legacy Fund is a clean winner for grassroots tennis in NSW,” she said.

“With the world’s best players returning to Sydney in 2022 for the ATP Cup, these projects will encourage girls and boys to pick up a racquet and emulate their heroes on Ken Rosewall Arena.”

Tennis NSW CEO Lawrence Robertson said he was delighted to see the positive response of the tennis family to the NSW ATP Cup Tennis Legacy Fund.

“With more than 50 projects now having benefited from the fund, our sport has been able to leverage more than $3 million of investment into tennis across NSW,” he said.

Swap Meet set to go ahead COFFS Harbour Vintage Car Club have been conducting an annual ‘Swap Meet’ for many years, only missing out in 2020 when Covid-19 restrictions caused a cancellation.

This year, Covidrestriction willing, the event is due to return on Sunday July 18 at the Coffs Harbour Showground.

Many of these parts are no longer needed but offered in the hope someone else will be looking for that special part to aid or complete a restoration or to commence or add to an

All aboard for public transport boost NEW bus shelters, lighting and kerbside upgrades will make accessing Coffs Coast public transport even easier, with community groups able to apply for a share of $3.2 million from the Country Passenger Transport Infrastructure Grants scheme.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said applications are open for the biennial grants, which build on the NSW Government’s vision to help make public transport a first-choice option for locals.

“I know what a difference projects like these make to locals, so I’m calling on local councils, transport operators, schools and community organisations to apply for the grants,” Mr Singh said.

“Successful applicants will be eligible for $11,500 for each new bus shelter, and $2,500 for each shelter they want to upgrade to meet modern accessibility standards.”

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said more than $2.1 million went towards 500 projects across 40 local government areas on things

like new and upgraded bus shelters, security lighting, new bus stop seats, timetable information boards and tactile indicators in the previous round of funding.

“Some of these might sound like small projects, but they have been absolute game changers because when locals access public transport in the regions, it’s not just about getting from A to B – it can also be the difference between the ease of getting to important medical appointments, getting groceries, and staying connected to family and friends in other towns,” Mr Toole said.

“Programs like this boost access to services for all residents because all projects are required to meet the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport.”

Geoff Maunder, Events Coordinator, Coffs Harbour Veteran and Vintage Car Club, said interest in this year's event has been high.

“Swap Meet organisers have already had a considerable number of phone calls from enthusiasts from as far distant as Tasmania wanting to know if the Swap is being held this year.

“Several regular traders have made enquiries too, saying that they expect it to be a big day as several other Swap Meets have been cancelled.

motorbike bits and pieces, motoring books, tools, or old and collectable memorabilia in the garage, now is the time to dust it off and prepare for the Swap Meet,” Geoff said.

Food and drinks will be available on site.

The Car Club will have a coffee and homemade cake stand and the Pacific City Lions Club’s food van will be serving breakfast through to lunch with their bacon and egg rolls, sausage sandwiches and steak and onion rolls.

No other food or drink vendors will be permitted to sell on the day.

Combined with the Swap will be a display of veteran, vintage, classic and collectors cars and motorbikes shown by local clubs.

There will be a ‘People’s Choice’ prize for the most popular vehicle displayed.

Viewing the display will be included in the entry fee.

"Coffs Harbour teachers will also be able to train students all over NSW, sharing their industry and region expertise using upgraded delivery facilities purposebuilt to teach virtually."

Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour said this is a major win for our community.

“This investment forms part of a $20 million initiative to build 200 high-tech, modern learning spaces to support virtual learning across TAFE NSW campuses

TAFE NSW is opening up access to local training opportunities through the installation of contemporary digitally-enabled virtual teaching and learning spaces at its Coffs Harbour campuses.

TAFE NSW Regional General Manager Susie George said the Coffs Harbour community will be given access to learning spaces fitted with the tools and technology students need to learn virtually.

"This investment in world-class connected facilities will link local students with industry qualified TAFE NSW teachers connecting from delivery spaces, including specialist facilities able to livestream practical demonstrations across the state," said Susie.

"For example, Coffs Harbour Baking or Commercial Cookery apprentices could connect to live virtual sessions hosted

by TAFE NSW's Master Chocolatier in Wollongong, enhancing their learning experience.

"This means more flexible training options to meet growing skills

Support for Students Students THIS is the first term of the rest of their lives.

Let’s make it a good one, one where they can get the support they need in these difficult times, one where they can get a foot up with their studies, one where they can find success.

The teachers at The Education Centre can help with all this and more. We have a Centre with teachers and tutors who are dedicated to helping their students to achieve as much as they can, and then some. Teachers who have been tutoring for years, who make success happen, who care about the little things, who want the best for their students.

We have young energetic and creative teachers ready to learn the skills needed to mentor and tutor students to help make their lives more enjoyable. We have older teachers and tutors with many years of experience and knowledge who know how to support students with many different learning levels.

They all have one thing in common: They care!

Why don’t you start your child on the road to success with weekly support from one of our exceptional teachers or tutors? It will be a decision that will repay you again and again.

After School Supervision SO, both parents work? What to do with your children from year 5 to year 8? They don’t necessarily like where they go now for the afternoon. The kids there are all young and don’t share the same interests of these maturing young people but they are not quite ready to be left alone at home for the duration.

OK they can look after themselves to a certain extent, they can make a sandwich, they can follow rules most of the time.

What happens if they get bored at home waiting for you to get home of an afternoon?

What happens if they have to sit in the shop and be quiet till you close up for the day?

What happens if they loll around the office till you finish work? What happens if they are led astray?

The Education Centre now offers full afternoon ‘supervision’ for this age group. A place where students can indulge in seeing friends but also spending the afternoon positively, learning something new or

strengthening their knowledge in a variety of subjects – IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. Students being supervised must select two classes of the afternoon or Prep for High School to be eligible for full afternoon supervision until 6.30pm.

We have for term 3: Mondays/ Tuesday: Maths and STEM 2 x 1-hour classes 4.00-5.00 and 5.15 to 6.15 Mondays/ Tuesday: English and Art 2 x 1-hour classes 4.00-5.00 and 5.15 to 6.15 Wednesdays: Prep for High School 1x 1.5-hour class 4.30 to 6.00pm Thursdays and Fridays: Japanese and Cooking 2 x 1-hour classes 4.00-5.00 and 5.15 to 6.15

After school Tuition WE find the best value in which the students make the most progress is two lessons per week, either in team tuition or individually or maybe a mixture of both.

If a student has been having difficulties at school for years, it is not feasible to think that one lesson per week over one term is going to change their world considerably.

To really get things moving repetition is paramount, so it makes sense to do at least two lessons per week to make their

progress to better marks a lot quicker.

If a student is having trouble for too long, then they get labelled (yes unfairly) that they are not good students. To help them gain their footing in the higher grades, tuition is an important component. Not only to raise their marks but in confidence and self-esteem.

To a parent that is worth millions.

Seascapes, ceramics and timber complement at Tree-o

By Andrea FERRARI

OPENING Night for Tree-o Gallery’s 7th Showcase exhibition wasn’t the big celebration they had planned due to Covid-19 restrictions postponing the usual opening night festivities - but a bustling day of browsers on the first day helped make up for the pooped party.

Talking about the new exhibition, Sarah Andersen, one of the three furniture designers/makers at Tree-o told News Of The Area, “We have an artist profile book to select artists whose work would resonate well not only with each other, but also with

our timber pieces.”

The exquisitely crafted furniture and homewares give the featured artists’ works, by photographer Chris ‘Hewy’ Hewgill, and ceramicist Gloria Malone, a wide range of fine settings.

Tree-o’s solid timber tables come alive with settings of porcelain tableware and lights by Gloria.

Large canvases and whitewash frames hold space for seascapes and foaming waves photographed by Chris.

“What the artists bring allows us to create a picture of what the pieces may look like in someone’s own space,” said Sarah.

q Sarah Andersen, partner in Tree-o embraces a different Opening experience.

Chris has two different types of photography; seascapes which capture different moods especially in the golden hours of sunrise and sunset; and in-the-water photography.

“I put the camera in a waterproof housing and swim out to become immersed in the ocean.

“It’s a love, my obsession,” Chris told News Of The Area.

Chris captures the region’s blues and greens and how they contrast with the yellow sand on this coast, along with foaming waves and crystal waters.

Local upgrades to be funded by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment – Crown Lands include: • $26,000 to repaint Coffs Harbour Scout Hall, enclose an outside storage area, and safely remove old asbestos building materials; • $17,000 to repaint Sawtell Scout Hall and safely remove asbestos building materials to keep it safe, protected from the elements and looking good; and • $3,000 for Woolgoolga Scout Hall for electrical upgrades and to safely remove asbestos material from a meter box.

Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey said communities had done it tough during COVID-19, including organisations like Scouts NSW whose activities

have been disrupted.

“This funding will help Scouts NSW bounce back with improvements to facilities throughout the State, many of which are also used by other community organisations,” Mrs Pavey said.

“Upgrade work will also support local economies with work for tradies and material suppliers.”

Scouts NSW Chief Commissioner Neville Tomkins OAM welcomed the announcement.

“We are delighted with the NSW Government support that will assist an enormous number of communities,” Mr Tomkins said.

Strengthening and supporting community connections is one of the key priorities of the newly launched Crown Land State Strategic Plan.

$46,000 for local Scouts THE NSW Government has allocated $46,000 towards the upgrading of Scouts NSW facilities at Coffs Harbour, Sawtell and Woolgoolga.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the funding was part of $7.75 million being provided, under the NSW Government’s COVID-19 stimulus program, for projects at Scouts facilities on Crown land.

“Scouts NSW is one of our State’s largest and most popular youth organisations that helps communities build leadership skills, resilience and friendship through healthy activities for young people, so it’s great to support them,” Mr Singh said.

EPA Odour Update

By Sandra MOON

THE Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has received and assessed two independent reports regarding the offensive odour emanating from Englands Road, Coffs Harbour.

The two reports were compiled by Biomass and Coffs Harbour City Council after the EPA received multiple ongoing reports from the public about the offensive odour.

The EPA reports that, “Coffs Harbour City Council has advised the EPA that its independent industry expert had identified the landfill as the likely source of the odour.

“Council has engaged experts to assist it in

media@newsofthearea.com.au

mitigating the issue.

“Amongst other things Council has since reduced the size of the face of their landfill and added additional capping to help seal in the odours.”

The EPA’s response on June 11 was to vary the council's Environment Protection Licence by adding a pollution reduction program (PRP).

According to the EPA the PRP requires Coffs Harbour City Council to take five measures in an attempt to diminish the problem.

Coffs Harbour City Council must ensure that landfill capping material is placed over the problematic area of the landfill.

They must undertake landfill fume testing to ensure the fumes are adequately controlled.

They are required to review current odour management strategies to identify opportunities to improve odour management and reduce odour emissions from the facility.

They also need to implement a monitoring program and provide a copy of the landfill gas extraction system review report.

The EPA are continuing to monitor the site twice daily and are able and willing to consider taking further regulatory action if necessary.

If you are affected by the odour from the Englands Waste Facility you can report on it to the EPA Hotline on 131 555.

Harvest Trail Brings Couple to Costa

By Sandra MOON COVID-19 has not deterred 417 Working Holiday visa holders Cristobal Barriga and Valentina Vargas Guzman who are fruit picking and following the Harvest Trail around Australia.

Their Working Holiday visa allows them to travel, study and work around Australia for up to a year.

The couple arrived in February 2020 from Chile and started their fruit picking journey with Costa Berries in Corindi.

They have stayed with the company and worked for Costa along the Harvest Trail as far south as Tasmania and as far north as the Atherton Tablelands in Queensland.

Cristobal said following the Harvest Trail has allowed them to go around Australia and save money.

“Picking fruit is good for travelling, it’s more than

enough money,” he said.

Valentina said you meet a lot of people working on the farms and experience a lot of different cultures.

“You can talk with people and hear a lot of interesting stories while you are picking.

“That's my favourite thing,” she told News Of The Area.

“It’s hard work, but it’s good working in nature.

“Usually the Costa farms are next to a beach or a forest.

“I like that more than the city, it’s a different kind of job,” she said.

“You are part of a crew and that makes a difference, I like that.”

Cristobal said it could take a week or so to get used to the work.

“After a week you feel like you are doing it right.

“People sometimes give up because they think it’s too hard, but they don’t try enough or give it enough time.

“If you try for a week or maybe two weeks you get into the rhythm,” he said.

“At the beginning we were picking just for the extension of our visa, but now we are doing it because we can travel around Australia to different places and we can work at the same time.”

It’s a good option for the couple, and Cristobal appreciates being able to work for a large production horticulture company.

“The advantage of Costa is that there are farms everywhere.

“There are also different fruits, so you can pick whatever you want, and if you don’t like picking, there are other options like packing.”

q Cristobal Barriga and Valentina Vargas Guzman have picked fruit up and down the east coast of Australia.

Handling issues of dementia

IN his early sixties, Frank is diagnosed with a relatively aggressive form of early onset dementia.

Aware that he is not well, he asks two of his children, Pat and Betty to help him organise his affairs.

Pat and Betty are concerned that Frank does not possess the requisite capacity to make a will and they ask him if he already has one.

Frank cannot remember.

Worried about Frank’s deteriorating condition, Pat and Betty book an appointment with a solicitor who specialises in estate planning.

The solicitor advises that a diagnosis of dementia does not necessarily mean that Frank is unable to make a will.

He explains the legal test for capacity, being that Frank can execute a will so long as he: understands what a will is, is aware in general terms of the nature of his assets, is aware of the beneficiaries who can make a claim on his estate and can evaluate the strengths of any potential claims.

Frank has an interview with the solicitor in which Frank explains that his wife passed away three years ago and he is survived by three children, Pat, Betty and Rhonda.

Although Frank is close to Pat and Betty, he has not spoken to Rhonda for over twenty years after a falling out.

After the interview with Frank, the solicitor is satisfied that he possesses capacity and drafts Frank a simple will in which he gifts $100,000 of his $600,000 estate to Rhonda and splits the residue equally between Pat and Betty.

The solicitor requests that Frank obtain a letter from his Doctor confirming capacity.

The letter is promptly received by the solicitor and placed in the solicitor’s safe with the original will.

DEAR Jasminda,

WHENEVER my brother starts a new relationship I try really hard to make his girlfriend welcome, but then when they break up I have to go through it all over again.

It’s emotionally exhausting.

DEAR News Of The Area, BOAMBEE East resident, Jennifer Parker, got the surprise of her life last Saturday as she and her family were pruning their garden verge and a young koala came bounding along the middle of their street.

Being on a busy corner they immediately tried to corral the bewildered animal into a safer place in which case it immediately headed for the nearest tree which happened to be in her garden.

Although it appeared keen to head elsewhere it was encouraged to stay until a WIRES rescuer could arrive and ascertain its health and give further advice.

Thanks to local WIRES Koala Ranger, Jody Shone, the koala was given a clean

Katy B.

DEAR KATY,

Koala Karma bill of health and Jen was advised to let it sit out the day in a safe tree until the evening when the animal could naturally find its way into the nearby koala corridor; as they do.

For Jen and her family it was a rare and special experience and some may say good karma.

Jen has been a long time active and passionate campaigner to save the nearby koala corridor and habitat in Lot 2 Sawtell Road from bulldozing.

WIRES can be contacted on 1300 094 737.

Regards, Dave WOOD, Boambee East.

IT sounds as though your brother collects girlfriends at the same rate kids used to collect Pokémons.

Of course you’re exhausted (as I’m sure he is).

I don’t think you should give too much of your emotional energy over in the first couple of months.

If his new love interest breaks the sixmonth barrier, then it may be worthwhile inviting them to dinner to assess his level of interest.

Have a heart to heart with your brother and explain the situation.

Or forget your brother altogether and make friends with people you are attracted to, with or without him.

There’s no reason you can’t stay friends with his discarded love interests.

In fact you may have a lot in common with them if you’ve had to grow up with a sibling with the emotional sensibilities of a chipmunk storing acorns for winter.

Carpe diem, Jasminda

GEORGE Shephard was the third member and leader of the little party which travelled to the Kempsey land office to select land.

Born in 1832 in Yelling, Huntingdonshire, England he was the oldest of the group, while his wife, Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Papworth was born in 1835 in the nearby village of Elsworth, Cambridgeshire.

Orphaned at a young age and raised by relatives, at 15 years old she boarded with her employer and like George, was an agricultural worker.

They married in Yelling in 1852 and after the death of their 5-day-old son in June 1853, they emigrated to Australia.

Arriving in Brisbane aboard the ‘Genghis

28 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

Khan’ on 18 August 1854, they stayed one year before moving to Morpeth, Maitland, then Coldstream in the mid-1860s, farming there until 1880.

They moved to a cottage in Grafton, where Betsy had their last (still-born) child - altogether she had 14 births, with four girls and five boys surviving to adulthood.

She and the children remained there while George travelled to Kempsey, followed

by Coffs Harbour, where he and his eldest son established crops and built a house.

His selection consisted of 300 acres, opposite William Wingfield’s land, extending from the northern side of Coffs Creek, past present-day Shephards Lane, to the railway line in the north.

In late 1881 George moved his family

media@newsofthearea.com.au

to the selection with their furniture and six months of food supplies using a bullock wagon - a journey of five days through the bush to Corindi, then along the coastline to Coffs Harbour. The family hosted the first church service and community meetings, then in 1885 began housing school teachers, after George took four days to walk to Grafton and back to organise a teacher, on the condition a school was built.

Increasing unwell, George was taken by cart to the nearest doctor at Maclean by Betsy in 1888.

Beyond help, they began the return trip, staying overnight with a friend at Ulmarra, where George passed away and was interred.

Varied Effects Of COVID-19 Restrictions

By Andrew VIVIAN

THE impacts of Covid-19 restrictions on the Coffs Coast have been mixed in both their nature and the people they affect.

Visible effects include those on the hospitality industry, with some cafes and restaurants closed and others clearly poorly-patronised despite the holiday season.

Matt Culgan told News Of The Area that turnover at his Lime Mexican restaurant in Sawtell was down at least 30% compared to holiday expectations.

He said he has increased pick up orders but this has

not compensated for the drop in walk-in customers.

Other businesses are also affected.

Tony Farrell, owner of Beachbodies Gym in Coffs Harbour, said that fear of catching Covid-19 has adversely affected his business.

He said there also appeared to be a drop-off in membership because some families have lost income through a family member being out of work as a result of restrictions.

Mr Farrell said he has also had a number of arguments with members who did not want to wear masks.

Some accommodation has also been affected.

The Sawtell Caravan Park is usually at 80% capacity, but is currently approximately 60% full.

The invisible effects of the current restrictions, on top of Covid-19 issues since it appeared, might be more long-term and damaging.

Healthy North Coast recently conducted a short online community consultation with more than 1,000 respondents.

The survey responses showed the impact of lockdowns, isolation and social distancing on families, communities, friends and

workplaces was a clear source of anxiety and loss for many.

On the positive side, a significant number of respondents reported their situations were unchanged, while a smaller percentage had even seen improvements.

Sixty-nine percent reported their physical health stayed the same or improved, while the financial position of 73% was unchanged or better and 69% said their work situation was the same or better than before.

The greatest impact of COVID-19 has been on connections with family and friends, with 63% rating them worse than before

COVID and just 10% noting an improvement.

Half of the respondents said their mental health was unchanged, 7% said it was better, but 43% reported a decline.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive, Julie Sturgess, said that people had a desire to travel and attend live music events and they missed the liberties and freedoms they previously took for granted.

She said people were looking for economic and social recovery.

When survey respondents were asked what they most looked forward to, typical comments included

‘Freedom.

To make personal choices and not have to check a government website to find out what is ok’ and ‘Freedom to travel, attend concerts, hug my friends, see ageing parents’.

Respondents also wanted to see the hospitality, tourism and entertainment sectors recover because they have been a vital source of employment, especially for young people.

New funding helps domestic and family violence service

By Andrea FERRARI

WARRINA Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services Co-operative, a frontline domestic violence service in Coffs Harbour, has secured an additional $360,000 for much-needed improvements to the facility.

Charlotte Young, CEO, told News Of The Area, “Warrina is the recipient of a grant to improve the accommodation of women and children residing at the refuge.

“The grant funding will enable us to modify an existing building into two units to support women with children who may have special needs and are challenged by living communally in the refuge.”

This is a one-off grant to be used to fund new or

q Warrina Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services Co-operative receives funding to improve accommodation

improved infrastructure.

Gurmesh Singh, Member for Coffs Harbour said, “Warrina Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services Co-operative Ltd is a recipient of the COVID-19 Sexual, Domestic and Family Violence Infrastructure Grant Program funded by the Federal Government.

“Frontline workers on the Coffs Coast are putting in a colossal effort to help people at risk of domestic, family and sexual violence during the pandemic and ongoing recovery period,” he said.

“This funding will help to protect more women and children in our local community who suffer from violence and abuse by enhancing frontline support available to them.”

Warrina Domestic &

Family Violence Specialist Services provides a range of services across the Coffs Harbour, Bellingen and Nambucca local government areas and the Mid-North Coast district for women and their children who have experienced domestic and family violence.

“We recognise that every woman’s experience is different.

“Our support services are available to women regardless of race, age, ability, sexual orientation or gender identity.”

Warrina’s commitment is to provide specialist information and support to Aboriginal women, women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTIQ people, women with disability, older women, children and young

people.

Information is also available for friends and family supporting someone

in domestic and family violence.

Helpful contacts include: 1800 RESPECT (1800 737

732), The NSW Domestic Violence Line (1800 65 64 63) or Men's Referral Service (1300 766 491).

should include state government land and housing, NFP housing organisations, housing developers and of course Coffs Harbour City Council.

Nothing is going to happen to resolve housing, especially homelessness in our region until there is some leadership on establishing solutions to the problem.

Not another report that just sits on someone’s desk gathering dust.

Developers need to be given more flexibility around including affordable houses and social housing into their housing developments.

After all developers get government rebates for

including social housing into their developments.

A great example of how this can be achieved is the NSW State Government Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) Regional NSW is the Lake Road estate at Glendale.

It has transformed a vacant site into 21 modern, fit for purpose apartments including six social housing and three affordable units.

By partnering with Pacific Link Housing, a leading Tier 1 communityhousing provider, LAHC has been able to double the number of social housing dwellings that previously existed on the site.

Homelessness NSW

wants 5,000 houses per year over 10 years to reduce the current 50,000 plus people on the waiting list.

With COVID this would have increased substantially.

It is predicted the current Cowper homeless population is at 700 people and is set to rise by 30% in our area (Reference: Equity Economics Report – Wave of Disadvantaged Across NSW due to impact of COVID).

Currently there are 4,000 people waiting on Social Housing in Cowper.

We have fewer homes than what is required and with the Government’s Regional Urban push for relocating to the regions

this is only going to exacerbate the situation.

There is a Regional Relocation Grant available under the Skilled Regional Relocation Incentive offer of $10,000 if they start a new job or move their small business to a regional area.

As the Coordinator of Coffs Harbour Older Women’s Network homelessness of women, especially older women has come to my attention and we are looking at solutions to the problem, like: there needs to be a ‘houseless strategy’ with the Council leading with planning how to deal with this issue, including emergency housing.

Change to by-laws to

allow desperate people, especially women who have to sleep in their cars and to be given immediate emergency shelter.

The community has a role to play in dealing with housing shortages.

How many property owners could include a Tiny Home onto their land or rent out a room?

This is a serious problem and serious solutions should be implemented now and this includes the Federal and State Governments stepping up.

The situation in Cowper is not going to improve unless there is real action.

Regards, Lorraine PENN, Boambee East.

Real action on affordable housing DEAR News Of The Area, I READ with interest the article (Affordable housing debate continues at Council, Coffs Coast News Of The Area, p4, July 2 Edition) regarding the Coffs City Council requesting a report on a budget allocation to resource the development of a policy and direction for affordable housing.

Do we really need another report when Council should be leading a collaborative approach to housing affordability, including social housing into the mix?

Work to start on Woolgoolga bike lane

By Emma DARBIN

WORK is set to get underway on the region’s first on-road bike lane later this month.

The township of Woolgoolga will be the lucky recipient of the trial bike lane, and it’s permanence in the town will be determined by the local community.

Coffs Harbour City Council’s Director of Sustainable Infrastructure Mick Raby described the project as “exciting” and said it was a Government response to last year’s COVID-19 lockdown.

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

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

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

The new Woolgoolga protected on-road bike lane is one of 59 bike lanes being created across NSW. Mr Raby said the recent Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan already had a cycleway designated within the plan.

“This gives us the opportunity to say ‘well this is what it’s going to look like’,” Mr Raby said.

“A bike path network that offers a pleasurable, easy and safe route for people to enjoy the seaside village

atmosphere of Woolgoolga – and simply to get to the beach, shops or work – is a major feature of the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan.

“Not only will it offer an alternative way of moving around, but it will help improve overall road safety in the town centre by encouraging safer speeds along Beach Street – another need identified in the Masterplan."

The new threemetre wide cycleway will commence 50 metres past the busy roundabout at Solitary Islands Way and Clarence Street and will continue along Beach Street into the Woolgoolga town centre.

The bike lane will be separated from cars utilising the road with physical

protection from parking or traffic lanes.

It will be installed between the existing pedestrian pathway and onstreet parking spaces on the northern side of the roads.

“Some parking spaces will be realigned to accommodate the bike path and some intersections will also be altered to improve safety for people who ride bikes, drive and walk,” Mr Raby said.

At this stage, it is a pilot project and the works are temporary in nature.

Council will ask the local community to help evaluate its success at the end of the year, with a view to making the arrangements permanent, or removing the works undertaken if required.

“We’ve been working with

the community to develop a draft Woolgoolga Place and Movement Plan which identifies priority walking and cycling improvements around Woolgoolga,” added Mr Raby.

“This pilot project forms part of a key cycling link between West Woolgoolga and the town centre and will help us see how well this type of bike lane can help both children and adults cycle to school, to work, to the beach and town centre.”

Planning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes said the Woolgoolga Bike Lane was funded through the Streets as Shared Spaces program, which received an overwhelming amount of interest, with more than 145

applications from 99 councils.

“It’s great to see so many councils keen to provide more public open space for their communities, while revitalising their local economies and beautifying their streetscapes," Mr Stokes said.

“These temporary projects demonstrate how innovative thinking can transform neighbourhoods, allow people to move around more freely while maintaining social distancing, and create more liveable, accessible and healthy public spaces.”

The NSW Government’s ‘Streets as Shared Spaces Program’ aims to deliver temporary demonstration and pilot projects to support the community and test

Birds, Bees, Flowers and Trees at Woolgoolga Gallery

By Andrea FERRARI

BIRDS, Bees, Flowers and Trees are the nature-rich topics set as the theme for the July members exhibition at the Woolgoolga Gallery.

Sherilyn Hawley from the Gallery told News Of The Area, “Art can show us the beauty of nature seen by the artist as a pretty picture or a challenging piece expressing the human relationship with our natural world.

“In art we can address environmental issues and topics such as global warming, conservation, sustainability, biodiversity and threatened

habitats.

“Art has the ability to educate the viewer about these issues, creating awareness about such important topics.

“It is important to feel a connection to the natural world, in fact it may be vital to our survival.

“As artists, time is spent in nature, maybe painting plein air or finding inspiration in our wonderful world.

“Tune into your surroundings, turn off your phone, feel the wind, the sun or the cold.

“Observe the veins of a leaf, feel a tree trunk and

watch the ocean.

“Let your mind be as vast as the sky - be still, look, appreciate, breathe.”

The winners of this beautiful exhibition are: 1st prize went to Sherilyn Hawley with her sculpture of the endangered Regent Honeyeater called ‘Lost Song’.

2nd prize was awarded to Harriet Bystrom for her mixed media painting of a Cassowary, entitled 'Long Neck’.

3rd prize went to Jane Mann with her encaustic painting ‘From the Garden’.

“Many thanks to our wonderful judges who had a

Judges attending the

prize-giving were Awia Markey from Coffs Gardening Club and Bite Food Tours and Judith Webster from Coffs

Harbour Beekeeping Supplies who also kindly donated the 3rd prize.

Invitations have been sent out to groups in the community.

If anyone would like a visit with a group, morning tea can be arranged.

Please call the gallery on 0402 757 464.

ideas for more permanent improvements to local streets, paths and public spaces.

Council is also currently working with Transport for NSW and the wider community to look at ways to improve walking and cycling throughout the whole local government area with safer and more direct path networks.

The new Woolgoolga onroad bike lane is anticipated to take around three weeks to complete.

DREAM GARDENS

ABC, 8pm

Whether it’s a lush yard full of native shrubs or a strip of grass that doubles as a backyard cricket pitch – we love our gardens. Michael McCoy is back with a second season of this behind-closed-gates series, taking a look at the diverse ways Australians have adapted to make the most out of their slice of this country.

Tonight, McCoy takes a look at the dream garden of a Sydney couple who live in a converted factory and have designed a unique slice of greenery among the harsh concrete and brick surrounds. With an aim to return the former industrial site to mother nature, they’ve achieved a stunning feat that will have you scribbling down notes for your own landscaping plans.

There are all sorts of ways to find love on TV. For some, it happens organically while whipping up an oyster soufflé on a cooking show.

Others hit it off on a dinner-anddrinks dating bonanza or on an exotic island heaving with singletons who have packed nothing but board shorts and bikinis. This series, premiering its seventh season tonight with reality TV love aficionado Sophie Monk as the new host, stands out because the pivotal additive is awkwardness. Ten outgoing women, including 23-yearold Aira, who likes “big veiny arms”, meet 10 geeky men, including Frank (right). Get ready to cringe… and cheer.

In the aftermath of the #MeToo movement and a heightened emphasis on the challenges of women in all aspects of life, the witty Annabel Crabb (above) arrives with this fascinating four-part special, premiering tonight. One hundred years after Australia elected its first woman to Parliament, Crabb investigates women’s experiences in the halls of power through time, from the struggle to get a foot in the door, to the fact the Senate didn’t install ladies’ toilets until 1974. Ros Kelly, Kate Sullivan, Cheryl Kernot, Sarah HansonYoung and Julia Gillard are just some of the trailblazing Parliamentarians featured in this eye-opening must-see.

Friendship through gardening

By Andrea FERRARI WOOLGOOLGA District Garden Club’s newly elected executive have wasted no

time encouraging others to become involved, with two major events immediately scheduled in their gardening calendar for October.

q Margaret Franks, Outings Organiser at Woolgoolga’s gardening club.

The first event is the Woolgoolga District Orchid Society Garden Expo on the long weekend, followed by Gardening Clubs of Australia National Gardening Week celebrations on October 1016.

Woolgoolga Garden Club members feel confident that the community will embrace both events and be inspired to participate.

“National Gardening Week is open to everybody; organisations, businesses, local communities, local councils, schools, etc. to participate in and celebrate gardening in any way they choose,” Judy Jackson, Editor of the Club’s monthly newsletter, the Woopi Thymes, told News Of The Area.

“Throw a garden party, visit a local park, join a garden club, plant a tree, visit your local nursery or just spend a day relaxing on the lawn – the list of possible activities is endless.”

The Woolgoolga club consists of people of all ages and lifestyles who share a common love of all things gardening.

They live by the

philosophy that the social and health benefits of gardening cannot be underestimated.

“Membership offers a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the simple joys of gardening,” said Judy.

“Whether maintaining a few pots on a balcony, a suburban backyard or a large country expanse, the enjoyment, the improved mental and physical wellbeing and the satisfaction gardeners gain

This class is inspired by a novel The Magic Bubble by Isabel Otter, Phung Nguyen Quang, Huynh Kim Lien.

“A tale about beauty and imagination.”

There’s a certain method to guide children to meditation, said Bek. “A hot tip is to start with clear expectations

and instructions relating to the body, for example ‘eyes closed, body still, breathing deeply with the belly’.

“One of my favourite types of breathwork for this age group is 'balloon breath' imagining a balloon in the belly feeling its rise and fall, for Magic Bubble Yoga we will be visualising a bubble

Children chill and flow at Magic Bubble Yoga

By Andrea FERRARI

MAGIC Bubble Yoga for children aged four-to-six comes to Coffs on Saturday July 10 as a pop-up class at Om Yeah Yoga.

Bek Wilson from Young Yogis Yoga who specialises in children’s yoga has created the class to be fun,

q

educational and full of purpose, carefully curated to children’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

“Through a combination of dance, breath-work, yoga flows, games and meditation we build strength in our bodies and strength in ourselves,” Bek told News Of The Area.

from ‘getting their hands dirty’ is universal.”

Meetings welcome regular guest speakers.

“Last month we learnt how to keep bees and earlier in the year, we were shown how to create floral art displays.

“The Competition Table is hotly contested; winners go into the running for prizes at the end of the year.

“There is also a Trading Table.

“Monthly Outings on

of course.”

Scented eye pillows or gemstones placed between the eyebrows, and blankets in winter are props used to encourage the physical grounding and to keep focus in the body.

“I like to leave a little gift and or Mantra Card at the end of each mat for when children open their eyes.”

Language is a huge part of the class.

“Each class has a certain topic ranging from selflove, self-acceptance to the breath.”

For children ages four-

the last Thursday of the month are unquestionably a highlight.”

Members travel to notable gardens throughout the year.

Meetings are on the second Saturday of the month at the Seniors Centre, Boundary Street commencing at 1.30pm, with the next scheduled for July 10.

For more information and/or how to join, contact Judy 0417 923 333.

to-six music is incredibly beneficial for brain development, to create understanding and to feel joy, said Bek. “As the music rises and falls so does our mood and emotions.”

Mats and props are provided but props like teddys are all welcome for meditation.

“We aim to make our experience in the class as comfortable as possible, especially with the younger age group.

“We wear anything that makes us feel comfortable.”

q Gemstones help to keep focus in the body during meditation.

Australian Bustard sighting

By Andrea FERRARI

TWO Australian Bustards have been sighted on the Coffs Coast.

“We have been thrilled by the discovery of two Australian Bustards near Raleigh,” Richard Jordan from Bellingen Birders told News Of The Area.

“These huge birds are endangered in NSW and, in any

q

case, would normally only be found hundreds of kilometres inland from the Coffs Coast.

“So, their presence here is difficult to explain, and very exciting.”

Keen twitchers have been flocking to see these magnificent birds from as far afield as Glenreagh and Kempsey.

The Australian Bustard

probably stay for a while as they seem to be finding plenty of food.

“We have seen one of the birds catching a frog, but grasshoppers and other large insects plus fruits and seeds can also be included in their diet.

“They may well be a pair, so there is always the chance we shall see some fluffy little chicks in the spring,” Richard said.

Sawtell/Toormina Saints beat Northern Beaches Blues

By Aiden BURGESS

THE Sawtell/Toormina Saints have shown they could very well be in the premiership mix after a 9.10 (64) to 5.7 (37) win against the second-placed Northern Beaches Blues at Richardson Park.

The Saints led by 13 at half-time, but the Blues jumped out of the blocks with two quick goals to start the third quarter to have the spectators thinking they were about to see a close finish.

But the Saints rallied and kicked four unanswered goals in the remainder of the third term to take a commanding lead into the final quarter.

The victory and effort from start to finish against one of the premiership favourites pleased Saints coach Brandt Lee. “Everyone had the right mindset from the first bounce to the last contest, that was the most impressive part about it,” he said.

“It’s something we have been struggling to do over the last couple of weeks but today, if that doesn't prove

that we’re back to our normal form then I don’t know what does.”

Round 10 also saw the Coffs Harbour Breakers bounce back from their first loss of the season with

a 38-point victory at home against the Nambucca Valley Lions at Fitzroy Oval.

Meanwhile the Lismore Swans consolidated third spot on the ladder with a 56-point win against the Grafton Tigers.

Former Safety Beach swimmer qualifies for the Paralympics

By Aiden BURGESS

MADELEINE McTernan has realised her longtime dream of becoming a Paralympian after qualifying for the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

The former Coffs Harbour Swimming Club member qualified for Tokyo due to being the fastest female relay swimmer in the S14 Mixed 4X100m relay.

The 20-year-old will compete in the S14 classification which features swimmers with an intellectual impairment, and will compete in the Mixed 4X100m relay, 200m women’s freestyle and the 100m women’s backstroke.

She is currently ranked 3rd in the world for the 200m freestyle and 4th in the world for the 100m backstroke.

McTernan qualified for her first Paralympics during the recent

Australian Swimming Trials in Adelaide.

The new Paralympian attended St Francis Xavier School in Woolgoolga when the family first moved to Safety Beach in 2008.

She attended St John Paul College for three years before moving to the Gold Coast in 2016.

She started her time in the water when she trained every summer at the Woolgoolga Surf Lifesaving Club.

After swimming for her school, she decided to leave surf lifesaving to focus and compete in competition state swimming.

McTernan shared with News Of The Area the pride she felt in realising her dream of becoming a Paralympian.

“I am so happy and proud to represent Australia at the Tokyo Paralympic games,” she said.

“It’s a dream come true for me, and it has taken a

long time and a lot of hard work for me to make this team.

“I could not have done it without the support of mum and dad, my friends and my little dog Lucy who keeps me company when I do dry land training at home.

“It’s a great honour to join the ranks of other Paralympians, and I am so grateful the Paralympics provides opportunities for everyone.

“Knowing that I will be competing against the world’s best is a dream come true.”

McTernan has previously represented Australia at the World Para Swimming Championships at London in 2019, where she finished 5th in the Women’s 100m Backstroke (S14).

2019 saw McTernan win her first individual medal for Australia where she won a bronze in the women’s 50m backstroke

multi-class at the World Para Swimming World Series in Melbourne, and then coming back in the 2020 World Para Series to take Gold in the 200m Multi class Freestyle and Silver in the 50m Women’s Backstroke.

April 2019 saw the young swimmer and rising star excel at the Hancock Prospecting Australian Swimming Championships in Adelaide, where she won 8 gold medals at the Australian Age Multi-Class championships.

At the Australian Open she won silver in the women’s 50m backstroke multi-class and bronze in the women’s 200m freestyle multi-class.

October 2019 saw McTernan win two relay gold medals for Australia at the Global Games which were held in Brisbane.

Her success continued in 2020 breaking a world record at the Australian Short Course Championships in the S14 400m Women’s freestyle, and then breaking both the 100m and 200m Australian woman’s s14 Freestyle records at the Queensland State swimming

The former Coffs Harbour Swimming Club member had fond memories of her time at the local club.

“I will never forget my years at Coffs Harbour, especially Friday night swim club nights and competing at the numerous swimming carnivals around the mid-north coast,” she said.

“I loved being part of a team environment and all the support the club gave me, the great memories of where I came from.

“I loved having swimming to give me something to do and getting up every morning to train many hours a week takes such dedication and has set me up with a good routine.

“I am so thankful for my family and coach Eugene Brogmus for believing in me as I would not be on the Paralympic journey without them.

Certificate.”

The medal hopeful praised the influence of her former coach in Coffs Harbour.

“My coach in Coffs Harbour was Eugene Brogmus and he first coached me in 2014,” she said.

“I did not have any swimming techniques, and I could not do butterfly or breaststroke and my freestyle and backstroke needed a lot of work.

“He knew it was going to take a lot of hard work, and Eugene would say what a normal swimmer would take for technique instructions would take five times, but for me it would take about fifty due to my classification.

“Eugene was a great coach and mentor for me, and he believed in me, and I am still best friends with Eugene and his family and many others at Coffs Harbour Swimming Club.

“I am looking forward to the Tokyo Paralympics and will never forget where I come from.”

The Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games will be held on 24 August - 5 September 2021.

Print media has never been as affordable for your business.

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.

Ticket To Tokyo Friday, 9 July 2021

By David WIGLEY

COFFS Harbour product Locky Miller has been selected for Australia’s Olympic Rugby Sevens team and flies out to the Tokyo Olympics later this month to represent Australia.

Rugby Australia announced the 12-man team last Saturday 3 July which Locky received with disbelief.

“When I received the ticket I had a lot of mixed emotions, there was a bit of disbelief when it sunk in that I was actually going to an Olympic Games mixed in with a sense of relief from all the hard work and sacrifices made,” said Locky.

Locky has been training with the Olympic team in Cairns and flies out to Tokyo on 19 July.

“The schedule has been a bit interrupted due to Covid, but we are in Cairns until 9 July then we are back to Sydney for 10 days and fly out to Tokyo on 19 July.

“Previous to our trip to Townsville to play against Oceania,

Local Community News ~ Proudly Independent

my partner and I had our first child so leaving her with our four day old son was really tough but made all the easier by the selection.

“Determination is shared amongst the group to push on and get that gold.”

Locky’s path to Tokyo started with local rugby clubs the Coffs Harbour Snappers and the SCU Marlins.

“I played some juniors with the Snappers and joined the Marlins in seniors as I knew the coach at the time who was Dwayne Vines and really liked him and his style, he also helped me get a leg up and into the sevens program.

“I was 23 when I started in the Australian Sevens program and it all started with Vinesy helping me and getting me into a tournament to play for a team coached by Glen Ella who helped me get a look in and from there I got to play some development tournaments before getting selected in the squad full time,” said Locky.
