Coronation Street access for Bowraville Sports Hub called into question

ROAD access for the new Bowraville Sports Hub is poorly planned and other options need to be considered, according to long-time and well known resident of the Valley, Bob Mackay of the South Arm Group.

Mr Mackay, with the help of his daughter Katie, addressed Nambucca Valley’s Council meeting last Thursday to bring to light the problems he sees with the planned driveway of the updated sporting facility in Bowraville.

The Bowraville Sports Hub is set to open soon with works associated with the second stage of the Bowraville Recreation Club’s renovations and new works currently close to completion.

As it stands, access to the new Clubhouse is via Coronation Street, a tiny one-way lane that holds a preschool and a children’s playground.

There has been discussion around widening the road but as yet it remains the same.

The Bowraville Community Preschool in Coronation Street is a fixture in the local community, having operated out of that location for many years.

It was attended by Mr Mackay’s children in years past and is situated extremely close to the edge of the single-lane road.

Already, Council have anticipated the possibility of children running straight out onto this roadway and erected a barrier, but Mr Mackay believes the area will still be a dangerzone for children attending either the preschool or the playground.

“However there are three alternatives, (the) southern and northern sides have access points currently being used to access this carpark and another running from Bowraville RSL Club, down to old council depot and across to the football

“The issue with this one is that the golfers are not happy about hitting across the access road,” Mr Mackay told Council on Thursday.

“These alternative routes have not been investigated properly,” Mr Mackay said, urging the Council to consider them.

“I feel there is room to negotiate all around,” he said.

Mayor Hoban responded by saying that Mr Williams, the Council’s Acting Director of Engineering Services, will consider these proposals in detail before getting back to Mr Mackay at a later date.

Bowraville’s new sport and recreation hub moves closer to completion

Hub envisioned by members of the Club, nears completion with a possible handover date next week.

After a build marred with delays, disruptions and even small mysterious fires, Paul Le Cert and Mary Dal Santo ran a tour of the venue for interested locals last Friday evening.

They announced that they would soon open the doors to a new clubhouse and bowls centre.

News Of The Area asked Paul and Mary how long the project had been in motion for.

“About 100 years,” laughed Paul in reference to the troubles experienced with bushfires, Covid, and flooding events which have repeatedly seen the expected completion date extended over the years since grant funding was first announced.

According to Mary, initial grants totalling almost $4 million were received from the NSW Government’s Office of Sport and the Nambucca Valley Council to an incorporated organisation formed specifically to oversee the spending of the grants after being announced as a 2019 election promise by the previous Member for Oxley, Melinda Pavey.

In the 2022/23 year another grant of $1.954 million was received by the Club from the Office of Sport towards the completion of these facilities.

These latest works include improved accessibility for disabled visitors, a large car park, parking spaces for RV camping vehicles, a restaurant/function room, reception room, bar, kitchen areas and storerooms in what will become the new clubhouse and set a new standard of excellence for the Bowraville Recreation Club.

Through the club doors on the southern side of the clubhouse are two new synthetic bowling greens, one undercover and one outdoor, both equipped with lights for nighttime competitions.

“The grass arrives next week,” Paul explained when NOTA asked why they still look unfinished.

Paul and Mary explain that they hope to lure prestigious international competitions to the venue as they believe there is no similar facility between Port Macquarie and Tweed Heads.

On the northern side, the new clubhouse

“Those caught fire last week,” remarked one of the other guests to NOTA, pointing to the newly renovated change rooms behind the football field.

This would be the second such unexplained fire known to NOTA within a month.

Just a few weeks ago, on November 11, a fire was seen burning in the squash courts behind the old clubhouse of the Bowraville Recreation Club and a fire truck was called.

The new club house building is situated in the centre of a zone which now includes the old clubhouse, squash courts and old Rec Club bowls greens to the south, a redesigned nine-hole golf course flowing around on three sides, an outdoor gymnasium (not yet finished), football fields to the north, change rooms, children’s playgrounds, campsites, a large parking lot and all connected by wheel-chair accessible paths.

“All the outside cladding, those lights, the gardens and much more, the community invested hundreds of hours of volunteer time into this,” explained Mary.

“It’s a sports and recreation precinct, to be owned and enjoyed by the Bowraville community,” Paul added.

Labor accused of dragging their feet on Koala Park

By Andrew VIVIAN NSW Premier Chris Minns visited Coffs Harbour early last month and announced a consultation process for establishing a Great Koala National Park (GKNP).

However, for proponents of the Park, action cannot come soon enough.

The Bellingen Environment Centre (BEC) has called on the Government to suspend all logging within the proposed Great Koala National Park as consultation for the Koala Park begins in Coffs Harbour.

“The future of koalas on the Coffs Coast hangs in the balance and the Labor party’s promise of saving the healthiest population in NSW is not happening,” BEC spokesperson Dominic King said.

“If logging is allowed to continue within the boundaries of the proposed Great Koala National Park, koalas and a large number

of other critically threatened and endangered animals will suffer.”

Coinciding with the first meeting of the Great Koala National Park advisory panel in Coffs Harbour, BEC has been working closely with locals who live next to Pine Creek State Forest.

“The community is fast noticing that Labor are dragging their feet in standing up for the health of our environment and especially our internationally loved koalas.

“The industrial logging that we are seeing at Pine Creek is an environmental and economic disaster and not only a major threat to koalas, but it’s also a serious waste of taxpayers’ dollars and undermines the $190 million NSW Government Koala Strategy.”

When contacted by News Of The Area, a spokesperson from the office of the Minister for Agriculture, Tara Moriarty, pointed to the NSW Government’s announcement of the process to establish the Great Koala National Park, as well as a halt to timber

harvesting operations in the 106 koala hubs within the area being assessed for the park.

According to the spokesperson, the Government considers the creation of the Great Koala National Park on the NSW Mid North Coast as Labor’s largest environmental commitment and a crucial part of the overall strategy to save koalas from extinction in NSW. The spokesperson said the Government will implement a halt to timber harvesting in koala hubs within the assessment area for the park while the work to establish the park is carried out.

This includes the 106 koala hubs that cover more than 8,400 hectares of state forest.

As well as discussions with Forestry Corporation of NSW about the next steps of the cessation and determination of timber supply options, the process to establish the park will involve three key components.

These are an independent economic and social assessment, the establishment

state forest being “logged to the edge of towns”.

“This is dramatically increasing the bushfire risk these communities face and should be stopped as a matter of priority,” NCC CEO Jacqui Mumford said.

“Right now, logging is

occurring within six kilometres (km) of Lansdowne on the Mid North Coast and there are plans to log forest right on the border of Nambucca Heads within the next six months.

“We are calling on members of the NSW Parliament to take an important step to

of industry, community and Aboriginal advisory panels to provide input to the creation of the park, and an expert environmental and cultural heritage assessment.

Despite Labor’s assurances, Mr King remains unconvinced.

“Labor needs to listen to health and environmental

scientists, not a single industry, and place a moratorium on logging immediately,” he said.

“The science is crystal clear and says we need to end native forest logging to protect human health, biodiversity, prevent catastrophic bushfires, enhance rainfall, and stabilise the climate, which is exacerbating extreme

weather including heatwaves, droughts and floods.”

Frustration is growing amongst conservationists and anti-logging groups, with a banner unveiled recently over the Pacific Highway accusing the Labor Party of supporting koala extinction, alongside a photo of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

protect the community and the environment from the risk of bushfires by ending native forest logging.”

The NCC cites peer reviewed research that found logged forest was more likely to have burnt, and at a higher severity, during the 201920 bushfires than unlogged forests.

This research shows that logging produces forests that are more likely to burn because of increased amounts of sunlight and wind being allowed to enter and dry out the soil and understory.

According to the researchers, debris left on the ground or in piles dries out and increases the severity and impact of a fire.

The studies indicate that the vegetation that regrows after logging has substantially more flammable branches close to the ground, creating

a vertical ladder of fuel which will allow all available vegetation to burn, and at a higher temperature.

The crown fires that occur due to this vertical ladder are reportedly much more difficult to control, spread more quickly, and embers are much more easily transported by wind to start new spot fires.

“All the evidence we have shows that disturbed, younger forests that have been logged are more likely to burn, and do so more intensely,” Ms Mumford said.

“In contrast, older, undisturbed forests are shadier, wetter, and have taller trees leading them to be less likely to burn, and when they do they burn slower and cooler.”

A spokesperson for Forestry Corporation NSW questioned the research findings.

“There is no scientific consensus linking timber harvesting and fire risk and the Final Report of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry found no clear link, but identified it as an area for further research,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said the recommendations of the bushfire inquiry are being implemented and Forestry Corporation is currently working with the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) to develop the next generation of bush fire risk management plans, which consider fire risk and mitigations across land tenures.

Professor David Lindenmayer, from the Australian National University in Canberra, who has reviewed the research, said, “Native forest logging makes bushfires worse – and to say otherwise ignores the facts.”

Illegal dumping in Nambucca Valley forests

By Ned COWIE

CHRIS Humphreys used the public forum at last week’s Nambucca Valley Council meeting to raise the issue of illegal dumping in the Valley’s forests and what he sees as Council’s uncooperativeness to work with those who volunteer to clean it up.

Mr Humphreys, a firefighter and Valley resident, is appalled by the current state of local forests, noting their decline especially over the last ten years.

He is particularly frustrated with piles of illegally dumped rubbish.

“Importantly, we need to remember that at one stage our First Nations people called a lot of these areas home,” Mr Humphreys reminded Council.

“They may have strong cultural significance to the Gumbaynggirr people,” he said.

Last month Mr Humphreys contacted Council asking for help in the form of a “tip voucher” to dispose of some of this rubbish, but was told that tip vouchers or the like were not able to be offered by Council.

The Council staff member Mr Humphreys spoke to suggested he contact Forestry Corporation as rubbish in this location was their responsibility.

Mr Humphreys pointed out that if the rubbish had been dumped on a roadside or even at the gate of the Council’s Waste Management Facility, Council would have needed to pay for manpower, equipment and transport to remove this rubbish, whereas he was offering to do all of these things for free, far outweighing the cost of granting a tip voucher.

Mr Humphreys advocated for either financial assistance in disposing of any rubbish collected and delivered to the Waste Management Facility or

coordination between Forestry Corporation, Gumbaynggirr representatives, Council and himself to clean up these areas.

Furthermore, Mr Humphreys pointed out that on a previous occasion when he had collected rubbish from the river, an area that was in the Council’s jurisdiction, he was told to leave the rubbish, including old shopping trolleys and a mobility scooter, on the kerbside, where it sat for weeks before some of these items ended up back in the river and the rest was finally collected by Council.

“I would have taken it to the tip myself, but I would have been charged an exorbitant amount,” he explained.

While Mayor Rhonda Hoban referred to those who dump rubbish in the forest as “grubs”, Councillor David Jones was more sympathetic, pointing out the high cost of using the Council’s waste disposal areas.

Council resolved to receive a report addressing Mr Humphreys’ concerns and suggestions.

Coast Road are currently $26 for anything up to the first 100 kilograms of rubbish or $312 per tonne for mixed waste in larger quantities.

NOTA was told that scrap

metal, such as old shopping trolleys, would be accepted for free.

Old tyres, however, are never accepted at this facility.

Pharmacy prescription trial a success for regions

IT will be easier for people suffering from certain skin conditions to access prescription medicines in 2024, as part of an ongoing pharmacy prescribing trial.

It marks the next phase of the trial which sees participating pharmacists authorised to supply certain medicines without a prescription, after having a consultation with a patient.

The trial is designed to safely expand the capacity of pharmacists in order to relieve pressure on general practitioners and other primary care settings.

From late March next year, pending ethics approval, the trial will include treatments for impetigo (school sores) and shingles.

Under the trial, additional topical treatments for dermatitis and mild plaque psoriasis will also be included.

In May, Minister for Health Ryan Park announced the commencement of stage one of the initiative, which trialled the prescribing of treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) at 100 participating pharmacies.

In September, it expanded to more than 900 pharmacies and extended the trial to the prescribing of the resupply of the oral contraceptive pill (OCP).

The trial has now expanded to over 1,100 community pharmacies – or around 60 percent of pharmacies around the state.

More than 6,000 women have benefited from this trial so far with improved access to essential health care and improving timely access to care.

The skin condition treatment component of the trial will run for twelve months.

“Everyone knows it is sometimes difficult to get in to see our very busy GPs,” Minister for

Health Ryan Park said.

“And people know where to find a pharmacy and this trial offers patients who can’t see their GP another treatment pathway.

“Through this trial, we are making it easier and more convenient for people to access the medications they need but working hard to ensure their care is not fragmented.

“By bolstering the capacity of pharmacies, we can take pressure off other parts of our primary care system, so that those who need them can access them.

“Where we can do things better, we should, and these are the kind of innovative initiatives that I am keen for our health system to embrace.”

Shadow Minister for the North Coast Gurmesh Singh said the reforms have been a game changer for our regions, making healthcare more accessible for the community and easing the burden on local hospitals and GPs. The original twelvemonth trial was announced in November 2022, initiated by the former Liberal and Nationals government.

“This reform has been a huge success and completely transformational for healthcare locally,

particularly for women,” said Mr Singh.

“Local pharmacies play a crucial role in our communities and empowering pharmacists to provide access to healthcare previously only available with a prescription has been revolutionary.

“With pharmacies now able to prescribe medication for UTIs and the pill, as well as expanding the range of vaccinations approved for administration by a pharmacist, we have alleviated some of the pressure on local doctors and made it easier for the community to access the health care they need.

“The NSW Coalition is committed to delivering tangible outcomes that make people’s lives better, and this just goes to show how good ideas implemented into sound policy can make a real difference.”

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia’s NSW Branch has welcomed the announcement that the trial will be broadened in 2024.

“This development shows that the State Government is moving in the right direction, and we welcome it.

“Come next March it will be easier for patients with certain skin conditions to access prescription

medicines,” Branch President David Heffernan said.

“Pharmacies across NSW, from Bondi to Bourke, have already treated thousands of women with urinary tract infections who would otherwise have struggled to see a GP or attended an emergency department.

“It’s not only saving patients time but money which is crucial when doctors’ bulk billing rates continue to fall and during a cost-of-living crisis.”

He said New South Wales patients will benefit even more when the State Government adopts a full scope trial such as Queensland’s, which would see pharmacists being able to treat and prescribe for 23 everyday health conditions.

“Patients could be walking into their pharmacy as early as 1 July 2025 and receive treatment for a wide range of everyday health conditions like wound care, asthma, hay fever and shingles,” he said.

More information about the clinical trial and for a list of community pharmacies participating in the trial, is available at https:// w w w. h e a l t h . n sw. g ov. a u / pharmaceutical/Pages/ community-pharmacy-pilot. aspx

Lock the Nambucca Valley reports to Council on mining activities

By Ned COWIE

GEORGETTE Allen of the Lock the Nambucca Valley (LNV) group spoke during the Public Forum of the Nambucca Valley Council’s meeting on 30 November 2023 to update Council on LNV activities over the past year and to warn them of potential risks to Council’s assets imposed by mining ventures.

“My concern for you, our Council, is that mining can impact on all of us – damage to our roads and minor bridges, impact on social amenity, Indigenous heritage sites and history, impacts on our valuable oyster growing industry through degradation

of our waterways, and excess usage of water reserves, and loss of valuable farming land,” Georgette told the Council.

“All these impacts can result in extra cost burdens on our Council,” she pointed out.

According to Georgette, the group sprang into action when first notified by a member of the public who had received an Access Agreement for a current and active mining exploration licence (EL9235) covering areas of South Arm, Taylors Arm, Upper Buckra Bendinni and extending into the Macleay Valley.

“We used social media, posters in all towns, store-front displays, ordered new supplies of yellow triangle signs, and

we letter-box dropped fliers to everyone with a letterbox in the areas covered by this exploration licence,” Georgette said.

The group hosted a public meeting in Macksville on 14 November 2023, which was reported on by News Of The Area in previous editions.

Two representatives from Summit Mining, the mining company holding the licence, also attended this meeting.

A transcript of the public meeting was provided to these two representatives to report back to their employer, Georgette said.

The group also hosted a workshop run by the Environmental Defenders

commit further resources to this project other than to maintain the tenements in good standing.

“The Company is actively considering divestment opportunities for the project.”

Georgette and her group remain alert for future

developments.

“LNV will seek to have this licence cancelled, as has happened before.

“We will continue to oppose mining in our Valley, and we will work with Council towards this end,” Georgette said in her address to Council.

Mr Chris Thompson, left in September of this year, Mr Spannagle has been acting in the role while applications for the position were sought.

“General Managers have the power over the entire operational side of council,” said Mayor Rhonda Hoban at last week’s meeting. “(The) councillors’ role, under the Local Government Act, we can only put our fingers on and interfere in strategy and policy.

“The day-to-day operations, staffing matters,

employing or dismissing staff, workloads and priorities, that’s the realm of the General Manager,” explained Mayor Hoban.

Mr Spannagle was not present at Thursday’s meeting having taken leave to move house.

“Given the state of our roads, and some of the work that has to be done, having a General Manager with an engineering background is probably quite timely,” said Mayor Hoban.

Mr Spannagle was

Director of Engineering at Riverina Water for nine years before coming to the Valley.

He holds a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from the University of Sydney, a Graduate Certificate from Deakin University in Technology Management – Economics/Finance, a Graduate Certificate in Technology Management Economics/Finance and a Master of Business Administration – Leadership from Charles Sturt University.

MR Bede Spannagle has been officially appointed General Manager of the Nambucca Valley Council.

Mayor Rhonda Hoban used her Mayoral Minute to confirm the appointment at last Thursday’s Council Meeting.

Mr Spannagle has been employed with Nambucca Valley Council in the role of Engineering Services Manager since March 2023 and since the previous General Manager,

Georgette explained to the Council that a liaison consultant had contacted the group on 28 November, to advise them that Summit Minerals was ceasing activities in the tenement of EL 9235.

Further research on this project, know as the Windfall Antimony Project within Summit Minerals, revealed an online ASX announcement from Summit Minerals stating, “Following an extensive review of the Company’s portfolio, the Company has recognised that the Windfall Antimony Project (EL9235) is non-core to the Company’s strategic objectives moving forward.

VPAC’s 40th Annual Concert to be held this weekend

By Ned COWIE

VALLEY Performing Arts Centre (VPAC) will open the doors on its 40th annual end of year concert this weekend.

Allison Launt began her own dance studio in Nambucca Heads in 1984 under the name of Allison Launt Dancers.

In 2012 she changed the studio’s name to Valley Performing Arts Centre

(VPAC) and moved the business to a location in the heart of Macksville in Princess Street where it resides to this day.

A fixture in the lives of so many Nambucca Valley residents for four decades, Ms Allison’s name has become synonymous with high quality dancers and her gentle, inclusive approach to teaching keeps her students returning year after year

from primary school right through to the last week of high school.

Currently the school has around 120 students from ages two to seventeen years and the concert will showcase the abilities of her beginners right through to advanced students.

Past students have gone on to enter careers and further study in performing arts all over the state and

The studio has two show groups.

The Senior Show Group competes at eisteddfods all around the state and performs at local events.

They will be showcasing all their routines for the year at the weekend’s concert.

The Junior Show Group will be performing for the first time ever and features dancers from ages ten to twelve.

The studio offers tuition in musical theatre as well as

an impressive array of dance styles from tap and jazz through to traditional ballet and acrobatics.

The theme of this year’s concert is ‘Illuminate’ and Ms Allison hopes to shine a light on all the students’ achievements and showcase their hard work throughout the year.

“The end of year concert is the highlight of a dancer’s calendar and as their teacher, it’s what I’ve been working towards all year.

“It’s always amazing to see

how far they have come and to see their confidence grow and personalities blossom,” Ms Allison told News Of The Area.

There will be four performances at the Nambucca Heads High School Auditorium.

On both Saturday 9 December and Sunday 10 December a matinee will run from 12.30pm and an evening performance from 6.30 pm.

Christmas Light show to delight the kids

By Ned COWIE

DRIVING out of Macksville towards Bowraville, one house stands out in the dark of the night.

The Pendergast house in Jellicoe St, Macksville shines like a beacon with the spirit of Christmas.

Kate Pendergast and her husband, the owners of Rusty’s Pizza in Macksville, started this tradition of decorating the home and

garden for Christmas four years ago when they moved to this house.

They wanted to transmit their excitement with the season to little Ada, who was one year old at the time, and every year they have added to their incredible display.

A few of the neighbours also get into the spirit by putting up Christmas lights, but it must be hard to compete with such a work of dazzling art as Kate puts

together at this time of year.

“When my husband and I first met, I wasn’t even allowed to have a Christmas tree,” Kate told News Of The Area.

“My husband was the Grinch.

“So, I got a branch, just a branch, decorated it with tinsel and other things and put it in the lounge room with presents under it.

“He felt so guilty he went and bought us a tree and

that’s how it started,” she laughed, reciting what NOTA is sure has become a family legend.

Now the tradition continues, growing in

dimensions every year.

“We just want to make Christmas fun for them,” said Kate, pointing at her young family of Ada, now five-yearsold and Violet, three.

It’s certainly a sight that will make many a child and the inner child of many an adult who passes by appreciate the fun of Christmas time.

Bowraville to hold Christmas Festival

By Ned COWIE

HIGH Street will be closed for the Bowraville Christmas Festival on December 15, with locals hopeful the event will reignite the passion and togetherness that used to be the hallmarks of the town’s Christmas events in years past.

Last century, there was a tradition of carols and picnics on the lawns at the Phoenix, followed by a walk together down to the enormous pine tree at the front of the Bowraville Central School.

Lights throughout the tree would be ceremoniously lit and continue to shine for the coming weeks.

The tree was visible from many nearby areas throughout the festive season.

“This lapsed when the crowds became too big, and insurance became an issue,” Philida Hartley, one of the event’s organisers, explained to News Of The Area.

For some years then there was a movie for children in the theatre, a party in Grants Hall, jumping castles or other such attractions in the main street with a visit by Santa in the Bowra Fire Engine.

There were market stalls and fun for all.

Remembering these wonderful community gatherings, this year Kerrie Savins at the Pharmacy started the process of developing a carols event at the school for the community.

Jimmies, the choir from the St James Anglican Church, then got involved.

Others expressed interest in having stalls and the Bowraville Chamber of Commerce and the Bowraville Technology Centre agreed to facilitate.

The event was moved to the main street and began to take shape.

The local Lions Club has offered to be a sponsor and last Thursday, the Nambucca

Valley Council approved the closure to traffic of High Street from the School to the Phoenix Gallery.

Council has also donated $500 and the Bowraville Community Development Association Inc has donated $100 to support the event.

Local business Fortade is contributing their services for the street closure.

The Durri Aboriginal Corporation Medical Services are supplying a jumping castle, candy floss, popcorn, face-painters and more.

This has been facilitated by the Bowraville Local Aboriginal Lands Council.

These fantastic donations will be complemented by local stalls including food, school displays and much more.

The Grants Hall will offer activities for children organised by the Jaanymili Bawrrungga Inc Youth Hub. The Community Centre at 70 High Street will offer a

cafe and feature an inspiring exhibition entitled 'Defiant Hope' aimed at inspiring all towards a positive future.

At the top of the street the Phoenix Gallery and cafe will be open as will the other food outlets in town, many with special offers for the party.

Bowra Hotel will be open as usual with live music from 7pm.

The Party will start at

Date set for Elly Stig Memorial Golf Day

By Andrea FERRARI THE Elly Stig Memorial Golf Day will celebrate 30 years of fundraising on January 7 2024.

The organisers ask you to sign up and start assembling your team for the big day at the beautiful Nambucca Heads Island Golf Course.

All funds raised go to the Children's Cancer Institute (CCI).

The long-standing collaboration shows a strong community commitment to the cause.

Organisers Ray Stig and Raelene Squires expressed gratitude to the community for its support over three decades.

“Celebrating our 30th year is a significant milestone.

“The support from local sponsors and community is

commendable,” Raelene told News Of The Area.

“It's truly impressive that the community has come together over the years to raise $433,000 for the Children's Cancer Institute, contributing to vital research for finding a cure for childhood cancer.”

The day is a four-person Ambrose which commences at either 8am or 10:30am.

The cost is $25 per person which includes a barbeque lunch cooked by the Nambucca Heads Lions Club.

Players are encouraged to participate in the best/fancy dressed competition.

There are also prizes for closest to the pin and longest drive.

“If you miss breakfast the Island Restaurant will be open from 8am to 11am,” added Raelene.

“In addition, we have created a new putting competition on the practice putting green, adding an

exciting and interactive element to the event.

“It not only provides a fun activity for participants but also contributes to the overall fundraising efforts.

“Following lunch there is an auction of all things from sporting goods to full day experiences,” she said.

The organisers are

still open to donations and sponsors for the day.

“This ongoing support will undoubtedly make a significant difference in reaching the fundraising goals and further contributing to the Children's Cancer Institute,” said Ray. You can contact Ray on 0408 837 927 for all donations.

q The annual Elly Stig Memorial Golf Day is always all about having fun while fundraising.

Please contact the Golf Club Pro Shop on 02 6568 8172 to book in for “a

wonderful day of laughter and great memories made”.

“The idea behind the group is that we have the freedom to create and the freedom to express ourselves as artists, hence the name of the exhibition,” facilitator Nelli Gallop told News Of The Area.

“I have been working with Art with Heart for a few years and we meet once a week at the Galleria in Wallace Street Macksville where I facilitate an art class.”

Each year the artists use their exhibition to raise money for a charity and this year a portion of the money from each work sold will be donated to Beyond Blue.

Freedom promises to be more than an art exhibition, it's an invitation to connect with the artists and their stories.

Attendees will have the chance to meet the creators behind the paintings and gain insight into the inspiration behind each work.

The opening of Freedom on 9 December will be a celebration of artistic diversity and inclusion and there will be music to add to the occasion as well as refreshments available from the Phoenix Cafe.

Freedom will run through until late January.

Art with Heart and the Phoenix Gallery invites the broader community to join in this special event, recognising the transformative power of art and the limitless potential within everyone.

Unkya Reserve hosts magical evening of carols

By Jen HETHERINGTON SEASONAL magic was in the air on Friday December 1, as the annual Unkya Reserve (Eungai Creek) Christmas Carols evening was held under a sublime twilight sky.

As well as performances by the Nambucca Valley Band, Eungai Public School and Stuarts Point School, children (and a few adults) were happy to queue up for free ice creams, while the Eungai Rural Fire Service (RFS) were flat-out

providing a free BBQ. Organiser Lee Maddox was pleased with the large turn-out and the perfectly balmy weather.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to all the performers, and the families here, and to the RFS. “Don’t forget, our ‘Funkya at Unkya’ Christmas Markets are on next Sunday morning, 10 December.”

The Stuarts Point School impressed the crowd with their Marimba Band, as did the Eungai students singing favourite carols, all followed by Nambucca Valley Band.

The only sadness of the evening was evident by the bare concrete slab where the storage shed, complete with the beautiful wall mosaic, had inadvertently burnt to the ground last year.

Regardless, all in attendance enjoyed a splendid evening.

Students join campaign against gender-based violence

By Tamara MCWILLIAM

A STUNNING sea of orange-hatted primary school students graced the town centre of Nambucca Heads on Tuesday November 28.

These Nambucca Valley students were ‘wearing it Orange’ as they walked from the Nambucca Catholic Church to the Nambucca Community and Arts Centre as part of the annual ‘16 Days of Activism against GenderBased Violence’ campaign.

Local not-for-profit Lifetime Connect organised this walk and a disco and dance event for local students in honour of this campaign.

“The 16 Days of Activism is a global annual campaign with a core message that we unite against gender-based violence and discriminatory attitudes,” event

organiser Denise Deboer from Lifetime Connect told News of the Area.

“Equally it calls for awareness and action against any form of violence.

“16 Days of Activism commenced on International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, 25 November and continues until Human Rights Day on 10 December,” Denise said.

In an effort to provide Nambucca Valley children a chance to play an active and age-appropriate role in the 16 Days of Activism, Lifetime Connect hosted the D.i.V.A (Dance Violence Away) Disco, where over 200 students played games and danced to the beats of local Indigenous radio station One Mob Radio.

q The dance music was supplied by local Indigenous radio station One Mob Radio.

q Nambucca Valley students, dressed in orange, at the D.i.V.A event last week.

Five local schools - St Patrick's Primary School, Bowraville Central School, Medlow Public School, Tallowood Steiner School and St Mary’s Primary School - took part in the event.

“The students have been busily working on posters that capture

their thoughts on violence,” Denise said.

These posters will be showcased at sites in Nambucca Heads, Bowraville, Macksville and Taylors Arm for the public to view for the remainder of the 16 Days of Activism.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

NAMBUCCA VALLEY News Of The Area

By Paul DORIN

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

DEAR Jasminda,

Tara shoots but fails to score TARA has just purchased her dream family property.

She now wants to install a basketball court for the kids.

Tara calls a local concrete landscaper to see if they can convert an old tank foundation into a court.

Brad from Dodgy Dog Landscaping tells Tara that he can do the job.

“Trust me,” he says.

Tara enters-into a contract with Dodgy Dog to prepare the court and install the backboard.

After two months of competitive ball, Tara notices cracks around the backboard base.

The cracks get bigger and bigger, until the backboard fails, smashing into the court.

Tara’s friend Lola, a civil engineer, assesses the damage and notes that the construction materials and specifications are not adequate.

Armed with expert knowledge, Tara now seeks legal advice.

Her lawyer reviews consumer protections under Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

The ACL states that goods and services must be of acceptable quality, taking into account their nature and price, among other things.

Furthermore, the ACL states that if the consumer, expressly or by implication, makes known to the seller any particular purpose for which the services are being provided, then the services and any resulting goods should be reasonably fit for that purpose.

In this case, Tara is advised that Dodgy Dog has breached these consumer guarantees, as the basketball court and backboard was not fit for use, which was the particular purpose she made known to Brad.

Tara is also advised that if the Court makes orders against Dodgy Dog, there is a further issue of enforcing a judgement that she must consider.

Tara informs her lawyer that Dodgy Dog is no more, having removed its website a few weeks ago and that the assets held by the company are in question.

Tara learns that this scenario is a common issue in litigation and highlights the importance of considering the opposing party's ability to pay before commencing legal proceedings.

If only forest management was so simple!

DEAR News Of The Area, SO Warren Tindall says he is dismayed by Anne Thompson's 'broad generalities' in relation to multipleuse forestry (NOTA 24/11/23), and takes issue with what he says are 'dodgy opinions and hearsay'.

However he then goes on to make ridiculous assertions about forest management and the timber industry, and relates some seriously dodgy opinions of his own, despite claiming to "have skin in the timber game".

Mr Tindall states that seeing skinny logs on log trucks is evidence of past plunder.

If only forest management was so simple!

These logs probably come from trees thinned from plantations, enabling the retained stand to grow better and faster.

Or they may be native forest trees

harvested for the same reason, and where many of the larger trees are retained for wildlife habitat or within streamside reserves.

But Mr Tindall would know this since he manages his own plantation, so you have to wonder why he would make such an unfounded claim?

He also claims logs cut today are only suitable for low value uses such as pallets and woodchips, the better logs having been 'pillaged decades ago'.

If that is so, where do today's mills get their logs for the flooring, veneer, power poles, decking and wharfing etc that we all use?

He goes on to suggest that planting pine on cleared farmland, a la New Zealand, is the answer.

I'm sure the agricultural sector would have something to say about that but in any case, pine cannot satisfactorily substitute for hardwoods in these uses where strength and durability are

Who can save the trees?

DEAR News Of The Area,

THE NSW Land and Environment Court found last Monday that the harvest planner who signed off the harvest plans which decided what trees could be felled in Braemar and Myrtle State Forests was not accountable for meeting the legal requirement for maintaining ecologically sustainable forest management in those forests and that responsibility fell elsewhere.

It is like saying the service manager responsible for servicing a

dud car is not responsible for the outcomes, or a teacher who delivers an approved but flawed education program is not responsible for the outcomes either.

If the professional forest planner is not responsible for ecologically sustainable forest management, who is?

Somewhere in the complex labyrinth of the bureaucracy of forest management in NSW and indeed Australia there must be someone who can be held accountable.

WE left our cat with friends who live a ten-minute walk away while we went to Europe for six weeks.

When we returned, they told us they'd bonded with the cat and couldn't bear to part with it. We refused, of course, but now the damn cat keeps running away to their house!

What can we do?

Gerard J. Oh, Gerard, I'm firmly on Team Dog when it comes to animals, so I can't say I've had a lot of experience with cats, but I do know they can be aloof and manipulative.

They also don't mind leaving the headless bodies of rodents or birds at the front door, so they could also be described as psychotic mass murderers.

Not really the sort of essential.

To quote Mr Tindall, nothing in (his) remarks withstands scrutiny.

There are no plant or animal extinctions in Australia that have been caused by the forest industry.

Indeed Australia's native forest industry is arguably the best managed in the world,

company I like to keep.

Your conundrum has highlighted yet another catty trait -- they are clearly vindictive.

You've swanned off to Europe with the expectation that your cat will be loyally waiting for you, furiously waving its tail as a symbol of love, and slobbering all over your Barcelona-tanned legs.

Alas, you've been misguided, Gerard, because that's not the behaviour of a cat.

That's the behaviour of a dog after you've left it for two minutes to collect the mail.

Dogs are great for one's ego, unlike your philandering feline.

Could you come to some sort of custody arrangement?

Lure it with sardines and catnip?

Lock the front door?

The other thing I know about cats is that they are fickle, so if you're not prepared to let the cat go, use its traitorous nature to your advantage.

It might stay with you for all the wrong reasons, but you'll feel better.

Carpe diem, Jasminda. and continues (for 150plus years now) to provide carbon-storing, renewable and valuable forest products on a sustainable basis.

No other viable building product can claim that.

Regards, Dale McLEAN Coffs Harbour.

Half the fight for the North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) to get to court to launch the case over Braemar and Myrtle was to establish they had the standing to even challenge this lowest level of the bureaucratic maze.

Who could be expected to have the capacity to challenge the more substantial parts of this sprawling construct of forestry administration (which includes a Corporation, a Commission, an Authority, a Department and more).

Well NEFA may just do it again.

Getting on for almost two

years ago they went higher up and in the Federal Court challenged the Australian Government’s rollover process for twenty year Regional Forest Agreements.

The Federal Court has finally said it will hand down its judgement on this case before the end of the month.

If striking at both the head and the tail of the monster fails, what realistic options are left?

The final Friday Market for 2023 will be on 15 December, then resuming on Friday 5 January 2024.

Musos celebrated at Eungai Farmers Market NEWS

By Jen HETHERINGTON AFTER the wrap-up of the regular Eungai Farmers Market last Friday afternoon, 1 December, the market organisers catered for an evening celebrating the musicians that have diligently performed throughout the year.

Steff and Chris, performing as ‘Twice Shy’, kicked off the languid outdoor soiree as the first day of summer faded into clement nightfall, their tunes and voices familiar to frequent visitors and stall holders.

As a light supper, featuring many local ingredients, along with the odd bottle of sparkling, was served, other musicians took to the stage, including Steve Douglas and Andrew Sharpe (on bass) who were called on to play a tribute to the ‘The Pogues’ legendary frontman Shane MacGowan, who recently passed away from pneumonia.

Georgia Cortes Rayner, herself a beloved local performer, while enjoying the ambience of the evening from the point of view of an audience member, explained, “That’s our infamous storyteller, Michael Costello, entertaining, but not always accurate, and next on is James Allen, better known as ‘Jimbo’.”

As the loose setlist unfolded, and everyone indulged in the festive food offerings, Sandy Williamson, the Market Coordinator told NOTA, “This is what authentic community is all about, and we welcome new stall holders and visitors as a sharing and caring opportunity.”

UNDER THE VINES

ABC, 8.30pm

Filmed in New Zealand’s stunning Central Otago, the idyllic backdrop of green pastures and meandering vines sit enticingly alongside the capers of fish-out-ofwater winery owners Daisy and Louis (Rebecca Gibney and Charles Edwards, both pictured). Tonight, this delightful Kiwi drama wraps up its second season, and while sunshine abounds, it’s not all warmth and rays of hope for the crew at Oakley Wines. There’s unexpected news that implicates everyone when an old friend of Stanley’s turns up, shattering the status quo.

British comedian Matt Lucas (pictured) isn’t here to deliver the laughs in this sombre episode. Known for playing over-the-top characters in the hit satirical sketch series Little Britain, tonight he traces his family history back to World War II, Nazi Germany and concentration camps. Lucas delves into his beloved late grandmother Margot’s story after she came to the UK from Germany in 1939.

Featuring a surprising connection to writer Anne Frank, it’s a moving episode that at times leaves the usually animated Lucas speechless.

Travelling to Berlin and Amsterdam, his journey is bittersweet.

THURSDAY

THE DOLL FACTORY

SBS, 9.30pm

Based on Elizabeth Macneal’s eerie and violent Victorian London-era thriller, this six-part series is a sumptuous and potent adaptation.

Featuring Derry Girls’ SaoirseMonica Jackson and Outlander’s Nell Hudson, it’s a female-led tale exploring desire and the world of art, with a spot of taxidermy and obsession adding to the intensity. Twin sisters Iris (Esmé Creed-Miles, pictured, Hanna) and Rose (Mirren Mack, Sex Education) paint porcelain dolls for a living, but their lives are being pulled into different directions with the arrival of two men.

Tonight, in the penultimate double episode, Iris and Louis (George Webster) grow closer, while Silas (Éanna Hardwicke) warns her away from him.
