Tea Gardens writer shortlisted for short story award FROM Page 1

Aboriginal communities in Port Adelaide and Ceduna, and became a writer in residence in SA in 1992.

He came to Hawks Nest in the 1990s, where he joined the Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Surf Life Savers, seeking somewhere to “get on with writing”.

“That eventually bore some fruit in 2013, when one of my stories was given second prize in the Rolf Boldrewood Awards,” Phillip explained.

In 2017, another of Phillip’s short stories won first prize in the same

competition.

“Writing is an ambition, an escape from domestic duties, and my goal the last couple of years has been obtaining more credit in writers comps to present work to a literary agent or publisher,” Phillip explained.

The shortlisted story, ‘Old Woman Crazy with the Snakes’, is about the title character’s real, and often unreal, experiences living as a widow in a bushland setting, with a seriously serpentine theme running throughout.

“There is a modulation between crazy and senility, her dreams are lifelike, but not at all like life, and she is responding out of

Firies prevent spread of mechanics blaze

By Zayne PHILLIPS ON Tuesday 30 January, Fire and Rescue and Rural Fire Service (RFS) crews sprung into action following reports of a structure fire at a mechanics shop in Tea Gardens.

Their rapid response helped prevent the blaze from spreading to nearby buildings.

Upon arrival at the scene, emergency crews were met with billowing smoke emanating from the building.

Firefighters worked tirelessly to bring the situation under control, managing to extinguish the flames efficiently. Fortunately, no individuals were inside the establishment at the time of the incident.

A spokesperson from Fire and Rescue NSW assured the public that the fire was not deemed suspicious and that investigations

Phillip said his ‘genre’ is “magical realism”.

“The story is set in the real world, but has elements that could happen, maybe in dreams.”

The ultimate moral of his stories, however, he likes to leave to the readers to interpret for themselves.

Phillip’s story will be published in the coming months, as part of an anthology of winners from the Newcastle Awards.

Hawks Nest Community Hall approaches anticipated completion FROM Page 1 Community Conversations last year, the local groups are happier now that measurable developments can be seen along Booner Street.

Meals on Wheels, Wednesday Morning Craft, Taekwondo, Myall U3A, and the Hawks Nest Tea Gardens q

Progress Association, to name but a few, have operated out of the ageing interior of the old building while the new extension has taken shape next door.

“MidCoast Council is excited that the new and improved Hawks Nest Community Centre should be open to the public and the many community

groups that call it home in March 2024,” said Amanda Hatton, Manager Strategy and Projects, MidCoast Council.

“Inclement weather has caused minor delays during the process but, weather depending, the hope is that it will be operational by late March.

“The new hall extension

will have a multipurpose room with kitchenette facility, a universal accessible toilet, and a store-room available to be used by the community and user groups.

“Within the same footprint extension it was possible to introduce a new space for Meals on Wheels so that they can upgrade their infrastructure by installing a cold-room, and ultimately improving their service capacity.”

There is, however, still some way to go regarding specific groups’ facilities, as well as the physical connection between the old and new buildings.

A recent photo of the updated exterior.

“There’s still a fair bit to go, the grounds and surrounds have to be done, the new front path just finishes in dirt, and the walk-in freezer room has not been installed,” said Dan Holmes from Meals on Wheels.

Meals on Wheels is

currently expecting the freezer room to go in as one of the final stages, however, this will impact the use of the rest of the older part of the Hall, as many large portable freezers still occupy significant space there.

A family provision claim is the most common form of a claim against a deceased estate.

A family provision claim is an application to the Court for a share or a large share from the estate of the deceased person.

The claimant is therefore someone who has received no provision in a Will, or a provision which they say is not adequate for their proper maintenance, education, or advancement in life.

A family provision claim requires the claimant to be an eligible person.

One category of an eligible person is a person who was wholly or partly dependent upon the deceased and a member of the household of which the deceased person was a member.

Next week we will report in relation to the Court’s judgment in Noble v Durrant.

In addition to establishing eligibility, a person in this

Thursday, 8 February 2024

category must also establish that there are factors which warrant the making of the application.

They each must prove that there are factors warranting which, when added to the facts that make a claimant an eligible person, give him or her the status of someone that would generally be regarded as a natural object of testamentary recognition. That is, it must be a person whom which it would be expected or anticipated that the deceased should have made provision for in their Will. Since the secondary categories are not persons to whom there is clear obligation to provide for, a claimant must establish, based on the particular circumstances that the deceased should have made provision for the claimant.

Continued next week.

Holiday traffic chaos on the Myall Coast

q Parking has been at a premium in Bulahdelah.

By John SAHYOUN

THE recent holiday season has proven once again that the Myall Coast is in demand as a holiday destination and stopover on the journey north or south.

While the lack of parking in Tea Gardens/ Hawks Nest and Bulahdelah causes concern to many locals, the instigation of two hour limits by MidCoast Council in the Bulahdelah CBD late last year has improved traffic flow and allowed for greater visitation.

Areas such as Seal Rocks that had significant road and parking issues in the last holiday season fared slightly better this time around, although the presence of red weed was a contributor to people staying away.

Areas such as Winda Woppa also reported that traffic conditions along the Port Stephens foreshore were challenging, with parked vehicles making safe passage difficult.

Police in the area have been particularly vigilant to make sure visitors comply with all

“There were also quite a number of caravanners in our town, with many staying over in town, helping our local businesses and economy.”

72 percent of the Bulahdelah economy depends upon visitor spend, the highest in the MidCoast LGA. Local accommodation venues that cater for traveling nomads reported full venues over the holiday period, while businesses reported heavy trade during the ChristmasNew Year period as well as on other public holidays.

What is “Probate”?

If a deceased person held a Will and had assets that require a grant of “Probate” a grant of Probate will be required from the NSW Supreme Court.

A grant of Probate is a legal document granted by the NSW Supreme Court. A grant of Probate authorises an Executor to manage the deceased’s estate pursuant to the provisions of the deceased’s Will. If the deceased only left an “Informal Will”, such as a handwritten note or video recording, a grant of Probate may be granted on the Informal Will. Probate should be promptly granted by the NSW Supreme Court if the precise documentation and information required is provided to the Court.

Emma obtains many grants of Probate and administers estates as promptly and inexpensively as possible. If you have any estate related questions, please do not hesitate to contact Emma directly for a free consultation.

Myall Park Complex Stage 2 begins

By Thomas O’KEEFE

STAGE 2 of the Myall Park Sports Complex began with demolition of the old site along the football field in Hawks Nest on Saturday, 3 February.

Stage 1 was successfully completed last year, giving both the junior and senior football clubs, and other users of the community field, a new, clean purpose-built complex to securely store equipment and feed the troops.

The next stage, however, has faced significant delays, the old building remaining standing as a stark contrast of past and future for the Club.

Last Saturday, the old building, which included some repurposed storage

containers, was torn out, its component parts to be removed, making way for Stage 2.

“We’ve moved onto Stage 2A, which is the toilet blocks and meeting room, which can become a change room for the Ladies teams in the interim, if Stage 2B takes too long,” said Dacca, former President of the Hawks RLFC. Myall River Junior RLFC Vice President Leah Saunders told NOTA, “Stage 2 needs to happen.

“Toilets and lights are needed for the safety of kids after daylight savings ends.”

The Myall Park Complex is used by the wider community, one example being as a staging area for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter during

emergency airlifts, according to Dacca.

“Stage 2B is to be the proper change rooms and showers, but we do not have the money for that part, yet,”

q

The ugly mound in between has awaited dozing with Stage 2.

The old: This is what Hawks RLFC has operated out of for a little too long.

Dacca explained.

“Both Stage 2 sections, which are to be built entirely by local builders and tradies, will require a total of around $500,000 to complete everything, while Stage 2A alone needs just $120,000.”

“The Hawks RLFC Committee has had meetings with both State MP Kate Washington and Federal MP David Gillespie regarding funding possibilities for this endeavour, and both have promised to help in any way they can.

HEATWAVES and dry summer days have not helped the Myall Park grasses, but MidCoast Council is happy to report that the fix is on the way.

“We did have to order a new controller for the irrigation system which has now arrived, and the technicians are booked in to install it next week and have it operational again,” said Robert Scott, MidCoast Council’s Director of Infrastructure and Engineering Services.

“After that, it should revert back to normal operation.

“In addition, we have just finished replacing membranes at the recycled water treatment plant, which is now back in operation, supplying water at full capacity.”

The Myall Park Croquet Club’s Andrew Sillar said the Club is happy to hear the news.

"Council has told us that 12 February is the date for repairs and recommissioning of the system,” Mr Sillar said.

“We closed our courts on 20 December, reopened them on 24 January, giving them five weeks rest.

“Meanwhile we have been going out with the on-loan stand-up sprinkler the whole time, physically moving the one sprinkler around.

“The croquet court is barely surviving, that’s all... it was badly burned under Australia Day’s intense heat, and is not getting

Myall Park Field, home of the

q Green patches, where manual watering has sat, contrast with bare dirt patches on Myall Park oval.

Hawks RLFC, has suffered the same fate, with broad, brown and dusty patches where there should be lush green grass.

“Normally, by the pre-season,

the grass is beautiful, green and tall,” Hawks RLFC President Aaron Neighbour said.

“Myall Park is one of the best in the competition, but not sure how it'll go with the kids’ pre-season training on it.”

Myall Park’s croquet lawn and football field are on the same recycled-sewage irrigation system as Providence Bay Park, none of which have received adequate water through summer’s recent heat waves, and have not done so since August last year, missing the prime springtime growing season for playing surfaces, according to all Clubs involved.

North Arm Cove website upgrade

By Thomas O’KEEFE

RECENT upgrades to the North Arm Cove (NAC) website have underscored the site’s status as a model of what regional communities can do online today.

While many regional towns do not even have a website, leaving locals to rely on sporadic and unfiltered social media, the residents of NAC have, on their own, built up an impressively professionallooking site, using software that is available free to anyone.

“The website was created over ten years ago, based on the ‘Drupal’ content management system, the same used by big corporations and government departments,” North Arm Cove Community Association Inc (NACCAi) President Bob Reid told NOTA. “It is open-source too, so no cost to use, and customisable with the right tools.”

NAC resident Doug Kohlhoss set up the site after coming to the Cove in 2010, bringing his IT background, but said his hands-on experience

6 MYALL COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

dated back to the 1990s, when the internet was still ‘new’.

“I proposed the site back in late 2010 because at that stage we had a monthly printed newsletter, but felt there was a need for the community to have a website,” Mr Kohlhoss, who shares a healthy scepticism of social media, explained his forwardthinking.

“There was a learning curve for some of the tools to develop the website, but a person with a reasonable level of computer literacy can keep it up to date.

“My view is that communication is the glue that keeps the community together.”

Developed by the community, for the community, Mr Reid describes the website as the “key information source in the Cove now”.

The site hosts practically everything, from fire warning links to bin collection reminders, and users must adhere to a fair and clear Code of Conduct.

Registered NAC residents can comment directly onto the website, which also has a place for recent

www.newsofthearea.com.au

q The North Arm Cove community website has all the information that locals would need to stay informed on Cove happenings. and upcoming events, community centre groups and activities, a free community noticeboard, and sponsored links that help with the running costs of the site itself.

“Everyone who registers gets an email each week telling the latest on the website via a newsletter email going out early Saturday mornings.”

There is twelve years of historical content in there, too, including ‘Recurring Topics’ and ‘Reference Documents’ that Mr Reid and the NACCAi have carefully curated.

What it took to get the Singing Bridge built

MYALL COAST News Of The Area

q The Bridge today connects Hawks Nest with the rest of the world.

By Thomas O’KEEFE CELEBRATING the Singing Bridge’s 50th Anniversary this year requires a retrospective on what it took finally to build ‘Our Bridge’, now the centrepiece of Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest townships.

Plenty of documentary evidence suggests that Hawks Nest was little more than a bushland holiday spot when the first unofficial Engels’ vehicle ferry began in 1928.

The utter beauty of the area, and some unseen natural resources, inevitably attracted more people, which triggered upgrades to the punt service.

One NOTA letter to the editor in April 1974 asserted that “there had been a Government move in the 1950s that all subsidised ferries were to be replaced by bridges – the Hawks Nest ferry, however, was not subsidised, hence, it always fell to the bottom of the priorities list as matter of (State) Government policy”. q A half-finished Bridge, 1973.

Photo: courtesy Janis Winn.

q Mineral Deposits Limited’s Seal Rocks detour was around 50 kilometres extra, but only took an hour or so when the ferry took six.

By 1961, it was reported that, “Traffic over the HN ferry leading to the Myall Lakes is now greater than that over the ForsterTuncurry bridge at the time that bridge was constructed,” citing a graph by the Myall Valley Institute for Regional Research from figures compiled by then Stroud Shire Council.

Sustained agitation for a bridge intensified, including petitions by local residents, landholders and tourists, asking the NSW Premier, Hon. RJ Heffron, MLA, to consider building one to replace the ferry, which was, by that point, routinely taken out of action every month, plus multiple unplanned breakdowns.

During the 1960s, heavy industry came to

Hawks Nest when Mineral Deposits Limited (MDL) began sand-mining for rutile, a mineral form of titanium, and zircon, both with industrially significant applications.

Numbers from the 1977 Tea Gardens School Centenary Book tell a lot.

"In 1955: 21,550 vehicles made the crossing, and in 1973: 252,574 - over a quarter of a million, averaging three persons per car, then 6,000,000 had used the ferry in 20 years.”

The February 1973 NOTA’s page 3 ‘Punt Record’ logged 26,594 vehicles on the ferry in December 1972 alone, and 30,560 vehicles in January 1973, with over 1000 vehicles crossing daily in the holiday period.

Stinker’s Fishin’: Bream bonanza

By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE

ON more than one occasion I have mentioned that Port Stephens is the home of snapper, mulloway and dusky flathead.

How could I overlook bream?

From the upper reaches of the Karuah River, throughout the Tilligerry system, up the Myall River into the lakes – bream are everywhere.

Just ask champion Leonie Wales, who battled a thumping 45cm giant bream at Soldiers Point using a service station prawn for bait.

Leonie finally landed the mighty fish, took a couple of quick snaps then released it back into the water.

Other popular spots inside the harbour include Nelson Bay breakwall, Tomaree Torpedo Tubes and The Boulders on the north side.

Outside the port bream can be caught off all the beaches, particularly over the

by the 1970s, spotlighted in an August 2023 NOTA article, motivated MDL to carve out a Hawks Nest-Seal Rocks road, finding the Pacific Highway an hour or so later north, and also drastically cutting the Hawks Nest ferry’s revenue.

Clearly, a bridge was necessary, and in March 1972, according to the School Centenary Book, construction finally began.

When it was definitively opened on 6 April 1974, the total cost was just over $1,000,000 (equating to around $10 million in today’s money), of which Mineral Deposits Pty Ltd contributed $31,000.

NBN scam awareness seminar

q How ACCC defines the many scams being perpetrated. Photo: ACCC.

By Thomas O’KEEFE

MIDCOAST Council is again partnering with NBN Co to host free scam awareness seminars at Council Libraries across the LGA, with Tea Gardens hosting on Wednesday 28 February, 2pm-3:30pm.

“We are passionate about giving our community the opportunity to get connected and stay safe in an online environment,” said Alex Mills, MidCoast Council’s Manager Libraries, Community and Cultural Services.

At the previous Tea Gardens session, held in May last year, a small but dedicated group shared stories of scam attempts they had experienced, while Mark Poole, Community Ambassador for North Coast, NBNCo, ran them through the exponential array of scams that await unsuspecting users.

“NBN is working to keep regional people safer online, the idea is to be alert, not alarmed, be cautious and aware of the risks, don’t be afraid to be online,” Mr Poole advised.

“Scams are a multibillion-dollar industry now, and the tech makes it easier for scammers, they can send one message to a million people with the tap of a

button.”

Several residents from the Myall area have routinely reported almost daily scam traffic on their smartphones or emails.

The lack of confidence of some many online users only feeds the scammers, and, Mr Poole said, “Legislation has been slow to catch up with the lightning speed of the technology.”

The ACCC’s updated ‘Little Black Book of Scams’

should be made available, as it contains a pocket-guide to the realities that we all face online.

Those present in May last year also shared a central lesson, which was that trust should never be lightly given out, no matter how hard a suspected scammer presses for information.

“If you did not ask for the email/SMS/other form of contact, then do not open nor respond to it, especially

if it, in any way, seems too good to be true.”

The MidCoast/NBNCo Scam Awareness Seminars are relevant to everyone, making these excellent, free and safe opportunities to ask questions that have found no audience prior.

Sessions are free, and bookings essential.

organisation working in the energy sector, said the review’s findings of community dissatisfaction weren’t surprising.

"After years of working with host communities, we are disappointed but not surprised to learn that the review revealed an erosion of trust towards developers and the various government processes," Community Power Agency Director Dr Jarra Hicks said.

“We are also not surprised by the findings that communities feel overwhelmed by the scale and speed of the transition in some places.

“There is a significant burden on communities to understand and engage with many individual projects, without much support to do so.”

The review calls for efforts to set a clear and compelling national narrative about the importance of the energy transition and support for communities to access quality information.

“With governments allocating billions of dollars on needed renewable

energy infrastructure, we cannot leave communities to fend for themselves,” Dr Hicks said.

“We need to see significant spending on helping communities understand what is happening in their regions and to ensure the benefits of Australia’s energy transformation are shared with communities hosting this infrastructure.”

Nationals leader David Littleproud was not impressed with the review’s findings, describing it as “bland” and a “cynical public relations exercise”.

“This review gives zero indication of how farmers can continue to do their job without being impacted.

“It fails to give clarity on protecting their livelihoods.

“Communities will continue to feel anxiety about their future, with Labor failing to ensure agricultural land, or our nation’s food security, will be preserved.

“While farmers will bear the brunt of Chris Bowen’s reckless race to renewables, it’s families at the checkout who will pay for it.”

The review held over 75 meetings with representative stakeholders, landholders and community groups.

The review also received over 250 online survey responses and over 500 written submissions.

Community engagement review released

By Doug CONNOR

THE final report from the Australian Energy Infrastructure Commissioner’s Community Engagement Review has been released, with the Federal Government accepting all nine recommendations in principle.

Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen commissioned the review in July 2023 to advise on improving community engagement on renewable energy infrastructure developments.

Australian Energy Infrastructure Commissioner (AEIC) Andrew Dyer led the independent review.

The recommendations include reducing unnecessary community engagement (where infrastructure will not ultimately be located) by improving the way project sites are selected, and increasing early local collaboration.

It was also recommended that

planning and approval processes be revised to be more transparent and streamlined when it comes to community feedback.

The Government will now work with states and territories, industry and communities to address the review’s findings.

“Local landholders and regional communities are absolutely crucial to our renewable energy transformation,” Minister Bowen said.

“Where these projects are done well, communities benefit from more jobs, cheaper energy, better connectivity and more business opportunities.

“I am determined to make the transformation a positive experience for communities.”

While he welcomed the review, National Farmers’ Federation President David Jochinke said significant concerns remained with engagement on energy infrastructure.

“The report confirms there are chronic problems, with a survey showing a staggering 92 percent of respondents were

8 MYALL COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

dissatisfied with the level of engagement from project developers,” Mr Jochinke said.

The survey also found more than 90 percent of people were dissatisfied with the information being provided or with their concerns being resolved.

“This is a staggeringly poor reflection on the situation to date and it simply can’t go on,” he said.

“Yet the report does very little to provide concrete solutions, instead referring to development of best practice guidelines and rating schemes.

“This is the exact kind of bureaucracy farmers and every day Australians are sick and tired of.

“It will do nothing to reassure farmers and communities that their interests are being acknowledged or protected.

“It’s critical engagement is a two way street and that engagement is genuine, addresses concerns and goes further than energy companies ticking a box: ‘we’ve told them our plan’.”

Newcastle shows support for offshore wind

By Doug CONNOR

SEVERAL hundred community members gathered in Newcastle on Saturday to rally for the responsible development of an offshore wind industry in the Hunter.

Held at the historic railway sheds on Newcastle’s foreshore, the rally, organised by Hunter Workers, was attended by environmentalists, unions and local business groups.

Despite numerous rallies opposing offshore wind development, particularly in

jobs we want, the conditions those jobs will have, and make sure that workers here have the skills to step up and do that job when it is needed.”

The union leader told News Of The Area that politicians opposing offshore wind were attempting to frame the issue “as a choice between jobs and the environment”.

“It is just not true," he said.

“The environment and workers are exploited every day for private profit.

“Our conflict is with mining companies that want

Teachers Federation, who described offshore wind development as a “nobrainer”.

“We are here for the community and to support fellow workers,” he said.

“This is about protecting the environment and protecting secure jobs.

“Offshore wind is also massive for our TAFE system and for the whole Hunter.

“It is an amazing opportunity.”

Community attendee Kerry Horner, from East Maitland, told NOTA renewable energy production

to exploit us, take the profits and bail once is no longer lucrative.

“We need to get together – workers and environmentalists – and make sure we find a pathway together so we have sustainable jobs and cheap, safe, reliable energy in the future.”

Joanne Tavita and Jasmine Loades, wharfies with Newcastle Stevedores, were also among the speakers.

“When these turbines come into Newcastle’s port it means jobs for the sector and jobs for the region,” Joanne said.

“Not even just for waterfront workers but in manufacturing, teachers for TAFE and university, even the hospitality workers.

“It will flow through the whole economy and the region.”

Ms Loades, a fifth generation wharfie, said there was “a lot of misinformation out there” regarding offshore wind and its environmental impacts.

“All we can really say is that they already operate so well globally, so why can’t they work here?” she said.

Also in attendance was Jack Galvin Waight, Regional Organiser for the NSW

is the “most important challenge we are facing in our generation”.

“I can’t understand why there is so much opposition to it from the Liberal National Party,” she said.

“There is so much disinformation out there about how harmful wind turbines are.

“Some of the things people have said to me are bizarre and I just think ‘How can you believe that?’.”

Discussing pro-renewable rallies held in both Hunter and the Illawarra over the weekend, Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen said the “vast majority of Australians understand that the future is renewable”.

“You get some who still deny the science of climate change,” he said.

“You get some who argue that there’s alternatives like nuclear, which is the most expensive form of energy.

“But sensible Australians who in huge numbers – a greater proportion of anybody else in the world have put solar panels on their roofs – understand that renewables are the cheapest.”

In conjunction with Saturday’s rally, a host of Hunter-based organisations have penned an open letter to key State and Federal Government decision makers, outlining ‘community expectations’ as planning for the Hunter offshore wind zone progresses.

Port Stephens and the Myall Coast, this was the first prooffshore wind rally to be held locally since the declaration of the Hunter offshore wind zone last year.

Among the list of speakers was Steve Murphy, National Secretary for the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union.

Mr Murphy said offshore wind was an opportunity to secure local jobs and cheap clean energy.

“We have been working with a whole host of local community groups to get a conversation going about what we need to do in our region to make sure we have a future.

“Climate change is real,” he said.

“The energy transition is not coming, it is happening right now.

“We need to make sure we have governments of all levels cooperating and collaborating to make sure we have good, secure jobs and a sustainable future.

“We know that change is coming, our energy needs are going to change, and there is going to be industry and economic impacts.

“We have a chance to get ahead of that for the future and determine the kinds of

and business groups were among the signatories.

“This coalition of groups have come together and focused not on what divides us, but on our shared interest in diversifying and strengthening the Hunter economy and protecting the environment by supporting offshore wind,” Hunter Jobs Alliance coordinator Justin Page said.

While acknowledging potential environmental impacts from offshore infrastructure, the groups argue the responsible development of offshore wind will help combat the climate crisis and lead to better long term outcomes for the environment, including marine ecosystems and species.

The letter calls for the Federal Government to speed up the issuing of Feasibility Licences to offshore wind developers so assessment of environmental concerns can begin.

“Issuing feasibility licences moves the process to the next stage where genuine environmental concerns can be heard and addressed through the environmental impact assessment process,” Mr Page said.

“The Australian Government needs to ensure improved community consultation occurs in this crucial phase.”

The letter also suggests reforms to the nation’s environmental laws to enshrine a fair say for the community and clear

“The reform of Australia's national nature protection laws that will strengthen up front protections for wildlife and habitat, and enshrine a fair say for the community in the assessment and decision making processes are urgent,” said Johanna Lynch, coordinator of the Hunter Community Environment Centre.

“While this is happening, the Government must ensure that the existing provisions of the EPBC Act, and any additional provisions to account for especially sensitive migratory bird species, are applied to thoroughly assess environmental impacts of the proposed projects.”

NSW Nature Conservation Council CEO Jacqui Mumford said “strategic, meticulous environmental assessment” is of utmost importance as the Feasibility Licence stage approaches, stating proponents need to “draw on local knowledge and expertise, and cooperate to assess and avoid impacts from the outset on environmentally sensitive areas in both the ocean waters and the air space”.

The letter also calls on

State and Federal MPs of the Hunter region to champion the responsible development of offshore wind.

“Some elements of the community are unfairly aggressively attacking Port Stephens MPs through social media and other means, claiming the MPs are not representing their communities,” Mr Page said.

“They need to be called on this behaviour.

“We want to give our MPs confidence that there is broad community support and they need to be championing the economic, community, worker and environmental benefits of a Hunter offshore wind industry.”

The organisations have also called on the State Government to formulate an offshore wind implementation strategy.

“In order for the Hunter to maximise local jobs, local content, manufacturing opportunities and benefits the NSW Government needs to commit and start working immediately on an implementation strategy,” Mr Page said.

“Offshore wind is here and we need to give investors and the wind proponents confidence to invest in our region, our workforces, and our manufacturing capabilities.”

Game Fish Club refutes consultation comments DEAR News Of The Area, CLAIMS by Meryl Swanson MP that there have been delays by the Newcastle and Port Stephens Game Fish Club Limited (NPSGFC) in providing a set of conditions for presentation to the Hon Chris Bowen MP for his consideration when determining the feasibility licences for input to create parameters for proponents to work within in relation to the Offshore Electricity Infrastructure – Hunter Declared Area are

misrepresentations of the facts and are refuted by the NPSGFC. An opinion piece published on Meryl Swanson MP’s Facebook and website titled ‘Navigating the Winds of Change: A Commitment to Community Engagement in Offshore Renewable Energy’ states: “I have made it my priority to have an open line of communication to relay the thoughts and opinions of the community to the Minister and his team.”

The NPSGFC has requested more information from the Hon Chris Bowen MP via Meryl Swanson MP to enable a comprehensive and considered set of conditions to be prepared for

presentation to the Hon Chris Bowen MP for his consideration when determining the feasibility licences.

The NPSGFC has emailed Meryl Swanson MP on 14 December 2023, 19 January 2024 and 29 January 2024 requesting further documentation in relation to the Hunter offshore wind farm.

To date, despite these written requests and numerous follow up phone calls, we are still awaiting a response.

It’s very disappointing that Meryl or any of her team haven’t replied to our written requests or returned any of my phone calls.

How can we be expected to give a set of conditions for presentation to the Hon

Chris Bowen MP if we can’t even get the documents we need?

Has she truly made it her priority to have an open line of communication to relay the thoughts and opinions of the community to the Minister and his team if we can’t even get a response to our own simple request?

Well Meryl you could have easily caught up with me during the New Year period while you were ‘up the Bay’.

Regards, Troy RADFORD, President, Newcastle and Port Stephens Game Fish Club.

The effectiveness of offshore wind DEAR News Of The Area,

RECENTLY, a retired engineer with 45 years of experience in power generation indicated the difficulty and likely cost of transitioning to renewables.

He used the example of replacing the 2GW generating capacity of the retired Liddell Power Plant near Muswellbrook

with wind turbines.

This is a difficult comparison because Liddell operated 24/7 whereas wind turbines have a variable output from zero to 100 percent, which is typically evaluated over a twelve month period.

Between December 2022 and December 2023, the wind farms supplying Eastern Australia delivered a combined

average of about one third of their installed capacity.

Offshore wind farms generally achieve a higher annual average of about half their installed capacity.

So a 5GW wind farm complex off Port Stephens should be expected to supply an average of about 2.5 GW per hour over a twelve month period.

Be proud of the Marine Park

q

This could replace the Liddell plant except for those periods of insufficient wind.

The challenge is to somehow store enough energy to cover the shortfall.

Regards, Stephen LOW, Hawks Nest.

There is plenty more to Marine Parks than fish.

By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE I WONDER how many Port Stephens residents and visitors realise that we are surrounded by a marine park (MP).

Did you know that the Port Stephens – Great Lakes MP is the largest of the six marine parks in New South Wales?

From Cape Hawke in the north, the MP stretches down south to Birubi Point, three nautical miles to sea and all the waters inside the port including the Myall and Smiths Lake systems.

Other NSW MPs are established at Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Jervis Bay, Batemans Bay and Lord Howe Island.

Declared a Marine Park by the NSW State Government in 2007, the Port Stephens – Great Lakes MP boundaries have remained unchanged since the turbulent times when the park was first put in place.

As it is in politics, the opposition decried the decision, informing the local communities that land values would collapse, boat sales and tourism would cease to exist.

Fishing would be banned, resulting in bait and tackle outlets and charter boat operators hitting the wall.

In fact, we were told by opponents that the entire trade and commercial industry would suffer.

Over time, all that misinformation has proven to be just that.

As a supporter of marine parks, I was one of around fifteen to twenty stakeholders, from Nelson Bay to Forster, who volunteered their time and expertise to negotiate the carving up of the MP into zones that would produce positive results for the environment and a sustainable fishery into the future.

The original Port Stephens – Great Lakes MP Advisory Council was made up of commercial and recreational fishers, marine scientists, environmentalists, charter operators and bureaucrats from Fisheries (NSW Department of Primary Industries).

I was one of three who represented recreational fishers.

As a group we were told by NSW Fisheries that around 20 percent of the MP would need to be set aside for ‘Sanctuary

Zoning’, and that Grey Nurse sharks were on the verge of extinction.

At the time, the main focus of concern was referred to as ‘No take zones’ or ‘Sanctuary Zones’, later to become known as ‘lockouts’.

The fear of being excluded from areas inside the MP resulted in meetings of fishers, mainly those who opposed Sanctuary Zoning.

This was a difficult period, particularly for those responsible for representing their stakeholder groups.

The pressure was too much for some who simply resigned to avoid the intensity.

Finally, a map was presented to the community for their approval or otherwise.

Generally speaking, the map was accepted, although some opposition to the MP concept remained.

The map has remained unchanged, from the original, for over fifteen years, regardless of calls for it to be reviewed.

Opposition has fallen silent, however there is a general feeling that improvements can be made.

I know that improvements can be made.

Looking back, what has been achieved?

Very hard to say as no conclusive research exists to definitively determine

12 MYALL COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

that the MP has improved fish stocks or that our resources have been adequately protected.

Assumptions can be made but that is all they are.

What is required is a complete review of the Marine Park to determine the effectiveness in achieving the original aims.

Those aims being sustainability of the natural resources, protection of the marine environment and to prevent future development which may threaten what we have.

I would be interested in conducting a survey of residents to determine what living in an area surrounded by a Marine Park means to them.

Is it an inconvenience or are they proud to live within the boundaries?

Or, do they really know or care!

My questions to Fisheries would be – are Sanctuary Zones doing what they were designed to do?

Is the Port Stephens – Great Lakes MP achieving anything?

If so – what?

If not – why not?

Is the population of Grey Nurse Sharks impacted by commercial and recreational

www.newsofthearea.com.au

fishing?

When will the zoning within the boundaries of the MP be reviewed?

I would like to know why are Yagon, Wreck and Zenith Beaches closed to fishing?

What science-based evidence is available to show that recreational fishing off any beach is a threat to anything?

Why can’t a kid, living in Swan Bay, go fishing off a jetty that is on the family property?

These are but a few of the questions that require answers if the Port Stephens – Great Lakes MP is to have any real credibility and more importantly – effectiveness.

As stated, I am a supporter of the concept of a MP and I also support Sanctuary Zones.

Sanctuary Zones, established on sound scientific reasoning and accurate, logical citizen science, are essential for a MP to be effective.

If we are to have a MP, give us the opportunity to make it into the best, most effective marine park that the community can be justly proud of and will bring positive outcomes into the future.

The Write Direction

By John BLACKBOURN

Postcode Problems I’M advised that many local properties change hands in the months of December and January each year.

Assuming this is the case, new buyers will be looking to purchase insurance for their property at this time of the year.

It makes good management sense to compare insurance policies each year as premiums rise and policy conditions

change.

We are all aware of changing climate conditions, which have seen floods and fires becoming more numerous, Due to this, actuaries are active in assessing those risks in order to protect the insurers’ viability and economic position.

THE letter on 25 January 2024, ‘Discussion getting lost on power generation’, could equally be headed ‘Never miss an opportunity to plug the totally unjustifiable and uneconomic nuclear’.

Two details that upset the letter’s argument: Liddell's closure is a loss of an unreliable 800 to 1.25 GW, not 2GW (Ref: Climate Council).

Refined nuclear is currently a scarce resource: US had to qualify its import ban on Russian nuclear fuel due to world demand following the Ukraine invasion (Ref: Reuters report 23 Dec 2024).

Also, the Russian war highlights the

Further as our energy minister is correct to point out, nuclear is a very expensive energy source (Ref: DCCEEW 23 Dec 2023).

I would also be interested in any accounts from district historians of any serious flooding in our area from early reports by the AA Company, who pioneered our location in 1824 - nearly 200 years ago.

Albanese Government tax amendments DEAR News Of The Area,

IN 2019 the Morrison government, supported by the ALP, legislated stagethree tax cuts, mainly for high income earners, to come into force this year.

Meanwhile, post-COVID inflation created a cost-of-living crisis.

Thursday, 8 February 2024

While the opposition slams Labor for breaking its promise to implement those tax cuts as they were, Labor’s proposed changes mean a whopping 57,000 taxpayers in our federal electorate of Lyne will receive a tax cut, the average of which will be $1325.

As well, 50,000 of those will receive a

bigger tax cut than under the stage-three package.

Peter Dutton keeps on about the government not doing enough to ease the cost of living.

But now we have a step in the right direction and the opposition threatens to not support it, so who exactly is it that they

care about because it’s certainly not lower income earners.

Regards, Sue BAKER, Dunbogan.

Milestone school year for Bulahdelah family

By Thomas O’KEEFE

STARTING school is a milestone, especially for one family in Bulahdelah, with twins and a Principal starting this year.

St Joseph’s Primary School in Bulahdelah has begun 2024 with an increased population, including Principal Amanda Pomplun’s own twin daughters, Amaya and Lilijana, who are starting Kindergarten this year.

“I didn’t think I'd ever be a principal, but when the role came up and I took it on as Acting Principal for a year, I knew I loved the school, and am passionate about the community,” Principal Pomplun told NOTA. Principal Pomplun has, in fact, been a teacher at St Joseph’s since 2013, and took on the role of Acting

Principal in 2022, then officially and fully as of last year.

“I am committed to being here, in this community, and making sure kids in the area have good education.

“If they want a Catholic education, we are here,” Ms Pomplun explained.

The fact that the twins and mum are heading in the same direction each morning should make things easier on the family, saving a bit on petrol, too, which is significant these days.

Ms Pomplun’s husband, Gary, is also an educator, and travels a lot as a ‘gifted education mentor’ within the Diocese, so a bit of consolidation never goes unwelcome.

Many parents have difficulty juggling work and getting to all the

big events like sports carnivals and graduations, which Ms Pomplun fully appreciates as she deals with an ever-growing student population.

“St Joseph’s has grown considerably in the last few years – we only had 27 students at the end of 2020, 60 by the end of 2021, and we are starting this year with 70,” Ms Pomplun said.

“We realise that with the recent opening of Catherine McAuley Catholic College in Medowie, some parents are keen to get their kids into the Catholic system by starting them here at St Joseph’s.”

The lack of a state high school in Medowie, and plans to fill that gap in light of the growing population, came up during the State Government election last year.

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

Responsible Gambling Officers will help identify patrons at risk of harm or displaying concerning

gambling behaviour, refer them to gambling support information and services and facilitate requests for selfexclusion.

All hotels and clubs with gaming machines will also be required to keep a Gambling Incident Register and a Gaming Plan of Management.

The new requirements

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

Clubs with more than 100 gaming machine entitlements will be required to have additional Responsible Gambling Officers, to ensure enough sufficiently trained staff are available to support

patrons and to ensure they have a reasonable workload across larger gaming floors.

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

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

The new agency, Homes NSW, will bring together the

housing and homelessness services of the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ), NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) and the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO).

Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson

said the creation of a single agency to manage social and affordable housing and homelessness services is a “common sense approach”.

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

It is hoped the reform will simplify tenancy services, provide important

homelessness services, and drive collaboration between State and Federal Governments, sector experts, peak bodies, local councils, and community housing providers.

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

Hunter New England Health welcomes new medical staff

By Simon EKINS

THE Hunter will receive a major boost to its health workforce, with 109 medical graduate intern doctors starting work in local public hospitals this month.

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

The interns will work with and learn from experienced and highly skilled medical staff from NSW Health.

The new doctors will enter a training program with networked hospitals throughout the state,

including Port Stephens health facilities, providing formal and onthe-job training.

Each junior doctor will rotate between metropolitan, regional and rural hospitals for a diverse experience during a two-year contract.

They will also rotate across specialties including surgery, medicine and emergency medicine.

“These 109 junior doctors are a shot in the arm for Hunter New England,” Minister for the Hunter Yasmin Catley said.

“They’ll learn from the best and they’ll lift the standard of care for locals.

next generation of doctors.

“It’s a huge step towards rebuilding our healthcare workforce.

“We’re backing these doctors to learn and we’re backing our health workers with better pay.”

More than 100 overseas registered nurses are also set to start work across the Hunter New England Local Health District (HNELHD).

The nurses have been recruited from the United Kingdom and Ireland as part of an international recruitment effort led by HNELHD. Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said the nurses will start work across the District's hospitals in the coming months.

“I would like to welcome these

“The NSW Government is committed to attracting and retaining more healthcare workers to regional and rural areas to ensure people living in these communities can receive high-quality, timely care close to home.

“International recruitment is just one of the many strategies the NSW Government is undertaking to attract and retain nurses and midwives to rural areas.”

HNELHD Director of Nursing and Midwifery Elizabeth Grist said the incoming nurses will bring experience in areas such as

emergency, surgical care, intensive care, paediatrics, and medical nursing.

“We are currently supporting these nurses through the visa and immigration process, and anticipate their arrival over the coming months," Ms Grist said.

“Our District is a wonderful part of the world to live in and we look forward to welcoming our colleagues, and their families, into our vibrant communities as well as our workplaces."

Hunter New England Health emphasised that the new medical personnel will be rotating on an adhoc basis, so precise staff numbers for Port Stephens locations are unknown at this time.

MARY BERRY’S LOVE TO COOK

SBS FOOD, 7.30pm

MONDAY

THE IRRATIONAL

SEVEN, 9.15pm

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

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

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

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

WEDNESDAY

MR BATES VS THE POST OFFICE SEVEN, 8.30pm

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