Storm Recovery Continues WHILE Foreshore Drive is a key focus for Council, as the rebuild continues after the devastating severe rain event in March, this is only one of many areas that needs addressing.

Other priorities include repairing damage caused by landslips, pumping water, and patching potholes across the region.

Port Stephens Assets Section Manager John Maretich told News Of The Area, “As a result of the natural disaster, there are more than 200 projects that need to be approved, prioritised and fixed.

Community comes together for Medowie’s 7 Day Makeover

FROM Page 1

The program was instigated after the success of the Anna Bay 7 Day Makeover which created a sense of place for the beachside town.

Now the leafy rural town centre of Medowie has its own theme and sense of place.

Port Stephens Central Ward Councillor Chris Doohan couldn’t be happier with the results of the program.

He told News Of The Area, “What an amazing week for Medowie.

“The transformation of our town is nothing short of incredible.

“I’m immensely proud and honoured to have been part of this epic event.

“The town transformation is impressive, but even more importantly the community bonding that happened over the last seven days is inspiring.

“The legacy left for the next generation has been laid.

“Good on you Medowie, you are awesome,” he said.

Medowie’s 7 Day Makeover, like the Anna Bay one, showed that the Port Stephens community is a giving one.

Medowie’s 7 Day Makeover

FROM Page 2

Medowie’s Makeover set records, with the program claiming the most volunteers in one day with 201 locals turning out to lend a hand.

The youngest ever volunteer was also on the books at the tender age of 10 weeks old.

Importantly Medowie’s makeover was made all the better due to the $63,000 raised, of all of which has been spent with the exception of just $100.

Member for Port Stephens and Medowie resident Kate Washington told News Of The Area, “Medowie’s 7 day makeover was an incredible experience both in terms of the outcome and the process.

“Our community came together like never before and the end result is unbelievable.

“Thanks to everyone who gave their time and energy to transform our town centre, especially all the businesses who stepped up to support.

“Our town’s team effort was so big it broke records -

Medowie should take a bow.

“To David, Jodi and the team from Creative Communities - our entire community is grateful.“ “Medowie’s 7 day Makeover was an incredible experience both in terms of the outcome and the process,” she said.

Jason Wells, Medowie local and candidate for Central Ward Port Stephens who participated in the project told News Of The Area, “An exciting opportunity for all members of the Medowie community to collaborate on

q Medowie’s transformation. Photos from Facebook Marnie Coates, Medowie & Day Makeover. a project that will provide long lasting benefits to the civic precinct of the town.

"The next step for the project is to keep the momentum going, and utilise local knowledge and skills to revitalise other parts of Medowie with the full support of Port Stephens Council.

"It was great to see people of all ages and all abilities take part and give up their own time to contribute to the project.

"Working through the design and budgeting process, it seemed to some a bit daunting, but the enthusiasm of the project groups soon took over with many keen to start work immediately.

"The civic area has been a hive of activity for the last seven days, full of

volunteers and tradies lending a hand.

"The transformation has been wonderful, and now Medowie has an amazing civic entrance, one that everyone should be proud of,” he said.

There was also a special nod to Geoff Dingle who was a passionate resident who planted and cared for one of the parks, with a sign in place honouring his commitment to the space and community.

Medowie is certainly on the map, so if you haven’t been to Medowie recently, now is the time to visit this leafy township and enjoy the fruits of our community's labours.

to prioritise these projects and seek approvals.

“We are currently reviewing the Anna Bay Flood Study in accordance with NSW Government best practice.

“We will consider the need for additional pumps through this process.”

Facilities and Services Manager Greg Kable said the repairs to Foreshore Drive are imminent and would be completed by the end of 2021.

“We’re working with Transport for NSW to secure funding under a natural disaster claim and we’re expecting to know more about design and timeframes of the rebuild by mid-May. “A full Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) has already been conducted and will be used for replacement works.

“The wetland is a precious environmental asset and will benefit with the new structure.

“In terms of design, what we know already is that the replacement structure will also allow for bikes and pedestrians,” Mr Kable said.

Kable said assessments of landslips at Marine Drive Fingal Bay and two others at Teramby Road Nelson Bay were underway.

“Our number one priority is the slip at the end of Teramby Road, and we’re working closely with the business owner who’s been affected since the storm first hit.

“We’ve had slope stability assessments done by

geotechnical engineers and we’re expecting those reports back later this week.

“The report will look at immediate and long-term fixes at these sites.”

Other damage at Kallaroo Road and Corlette Point Road, Corlette, is being scoped and works expected within the next fortnight.

Meanwhile the severe flooding in Anna Bay and Stockton Ponds is easing with generator pumps remaining on site and repairs to permanent pumps underway.

“Our permanent pump automatically activated during the March event and it’s been pumping continuously since,” Facilities and Services Manager Greg Kable said.

“Due to the amount of rain Anna Bay received in the March event, we also accessed an additional pump.”

Mr Kable also said patching the

potholes that have appeared since March was a key focus.

“Procurement problems due to increased demand along the east coast means the patching work we did in those early days was of a lower quality than usual, meaning we’ll still be dealing with potholes over the next few weeks.

“We know road users are frustrated, and we’re aware of the work that needs to be done, so thanks to everyone for being patient,” he said.

Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer has praised the community for their ongoing patience.

“Our crews have been working hard to repair the damage and have already done so much — but we’ve still got more to go. I’m very grateful to our community for your ongoing patience as we get to all these jobs,” Mayor Palmer said.

Major Makeover for Mallabula

By Geoff WALKER

TILLIGERRY’S existing sporting complex at Mallabula is to be given a major makeover to improve the existing facilities and to make it much more user friendly.

This will include access pathways, car parking and the construction of new and updated recreational and

sporting venues.

And that's not all.

According to Port Stephens Councillor Steve Tucker, Henderson Park at Lemon Tree Passage is to get a sail over the platform behind the pool ($90,000) and the waterfront recreational area at Tanilba Bay beside the amenities block is to be upgraded ($40 000).

“The big ticket spending

will be at Mallabula,” he said.

“This will transform the area into a sporting and recreational hub with much improved facilities,” he added.

The planned expenditure is as follows: Skate park: $230,000; new tennis court: $200,000; soccer and Little Athletics amenity block: $200,000; multipurpose court, playground and pathways

www.newsofthearea.com.au

q Councillor Steve Tucker said, “Projects budgeted for and the wheels are already in motion.”

$260,000.

Two much needed pathways will also be constructed.

Avenue of the Allies will get a $600,000 footpath and 'the missing link' connecting Mallabula to Lemon Tree Passage is set to cost $800 000.

“All of these proposals have been budgeted for and have been set in train already.

“We will be consulting with our young people in reference to the skate park design and as the Lions Club will have major input into the Tanilba foreshore project, it would only be fitting to name this new picnic area in their honour,” he suggested.

Not For Sale

By Marian SAMPSON

CONCERNS have been raised around the potential sale of 615 lots of land within the Port Stephens Local Government Area.

This comes off the back of a newly launched Government Property Index which lists all land owned by the NSW State Government.

The index includes National Parks, Crown land including foreshore spaces in Port Stephens, such as the parkland on Beach Road at Little Beach.

Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington told News Of The Area, “Prior to the 2019 state election, Premier Berejiklian promised on national television that

there would be no more privatisations.

“She said ‘No, no, no, and if we were we would have told you’.

“The Premier has broken that promise.

“And now, 615 parcels of public land in Port Stephens have appeared on a government website seeking privatisation proposals.

“Local school grounds are on the list.

“Precious public foreshore land is on the list.

“Parts of our local cemeteries are on the list.

“It’s a disgrace.

“Our community will never forget the Government’s terrible track record selling Mambo Wetlands to a property

Jet Ski Angst

By Marian SAMPSON

JET SKIS are a popular form of leisure craft, one that raises contentious issues.

These range from noise pollution to illegal operation of the craft.

The issues peak in school holidays when tourists flock to the region to access the Port with their craft which are banned on Sydney Harbour.

Tomaree Residents and Ratepayers Association (TRRA) has received reports on the increasing impacts of jet skis on marine animals including dolphins, whales, turtles and little penguins.

These animals find it difficult to take evasive action due to the low underwater noise emitted by approaching jet skis.

There are also threats to swimmers on the many heavily used beaches around the Bay, and noise pollution affecting both residents and visitors.

“This week in Parliament I sent a clear message to the Government: we simply will not put up with this.

“Port Stephens is not for sale.”

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Taylor Martin told News Of The Area, “This claim that there are 615 parcels of public land for sale in Port Stephens is just plain wrong, and the Labor party are lying to the public.

“Kate Washington is peddling another scare campaign.

“The Government Property Index is an online portal where the community is able to search for NSW Government-owned property and planning-related information in one online

and responsibilities which apply to their craft.

“However, some users fail to observe the rules and more resources are needed to guard against erratic and high-speed manoeuvring and inappropriate operation in proximity to other water

location.

“The public deserve to know what land in their area is public space and making this information accessible is simply about transparency.

“This increases transparency on what the government owns, and encourages more ideas on how the land could be better utilised.

“For example, a Community Housing Provider might use the tool to identify latent government land which could be suitable for more housing to support vulnerable people.

“Or a community group might identify an unused property which would be

“At this stage we are not calling for an outright ban on jet skis, but there needs to be a greater consideration of the residents and ratepayers and the impact on our huge water-based tourist and recreation industry focussed

better utilised as a community hall.

“Having community input in regards to government land use is welcomed by our Government - even if putting this information in the public domain gives rise to a false Labor scare campaign,” he said.

Perhaps this list is an opportunity for the community to identify land such as the hard fought for Mambo Wetlands parcel and to seek protections rather than having to fight for a future buyback. q A concerned Kate Washington believes that the NSW Government is planning to sell off 615 parcels of land in Port Stephens.

on marine life,” said Mr van der Wijngaart.

The organisation is seeking a review of jet ski operations on Port Stephens, examining existing rules and the effectiveness of their enforcement.

NSW Transport tells us that, “In restriction zones, PWC must not be used for 'irregular driving' within 200m of a river bank or shore.

“This means they must be operated generally in a straight line within 200m of the shoreline.”

Irregular driving includes activities like; driving in a circle or other pattern; weaving or diverting and surfing down or jumping over or across, any swell, wave or wash with penalties applicable if the rules are broken.

In NSW PWC restriction zone rules apply to these waters (including tributaries): Avoca Lake; Botany Bay; Brisbane Water; Broken Bay; Bulbararing Lagoon; Cockrone Lagoon; Cooks River; Dee Why Lagoon; Georges River; Hawkesbury River; Manly

Reservoir; Manly Lagoon; Narrabeen Lakes; Nepean River; Port Hacking; Prospect Reservoir; Terrigal Lagoon; Wamberal Lagoon; and the Woronora River but not on Port Stephens or the Myall River or Myall Lakes.

Interestingly, Jet Skis are also banned in Cape Byron Marine Park, however the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park has no such protection.

Kate Washington Member for Port Stephens told News Of The Area, “Since COVID hit our shores, the number of jet skis on our beautiful waterways has risen noticeably. With that, noise impacts and safety concerns have also risen.

“I’ve reported residents’ concerns to the Minister for Transport and Roads.

“Unfortunately the response simply recounted the government’s inadequate rules and a hotline residents could call.

“I thank the TRRA for their advocacy and look forward to meeting with them next week to discuss solutions to ensure everyone can safely enjoy our pristine waterways,” she said.

Sports Mad Aussies Involved In Olympic Sports

By Marian SAMPSON

WE’RE a nation of sport lovers and participants who are proud of and inspired by our Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games athletes, with new data from Sport Australia showing four in five of us are proud of the athletes representing the nation at these global events.

Sport Australia’s latest AusPlay report found that 10.4 million Australian adults play an Olympic sport and 1.8 million volunteer in Olympic sports.

Minister for Sport, Senator the Hon Richard Colbeck said the upcoming Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics present another great opportunity to get Australians more active and involved in sport.

“The report shows that Australians love

participating in Olympic sports and also feel a lot of pride and are inspired by our Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games athletes further highlighting that sport really is an essential part of Australian life.”

It is also a ringing endorsement for Australia’s current bid to host the 2032 Brisbane Olympics and Paralympics.

Sport Australia Acting CEO Rob Dalton said the results show the Olympics and Paralympics impact us all, whether it’s playing a sport, volunteering or being inspired watching our Olympians and Paralympians compete.

“Just over 7 million Australians participate in athletics, swimming or cycling each year, making them the most popular Olympic sports,” Mr Dalton said.

Athletics (including running/jogging) is the most

popular sport for men while swimming is the most popular sport for women.

When it comes to Olympic team sports, football/soccer and basketball are played the most.

“More men participate in shooting, rugby union and mountain biking, while more female participants enjoy equestrian, gymnastics and softball,” Mr Dalton added.

The top three Paralympic sports are swimming, cycling and athletics making them the same as Olympic sports but in a different order.

Mr Dalton said now is the perfect time to get involved in sport, either as a participant or volunteer adding that you don’t have to play the sport you volunteer in.

“Sports such as rugby union, football/soccer, gymnastics and basketball have a higher number of volunteers who don’t play. In many cases, this could be a parent volunteering to coach

vaccine program by the end of 2021.

Additional support for disability and aged care residents has seen $30.9 billion brought in, whilst $2.3 billion will be set aside for improved and expanded mental health care and suicide prevention.

Mayor of Port Stephens, Ryan Palmer spoke to News Of The Area about what the budget means for Port Stephens, “The main budget announcement for Port Stephens was the investment

their child’s sporting team.

More than 3.5 million (or 73 per cent) children participate in an organised sport or physical activity outside of school hours with 2.9 million (or 61 per cent) playing an Olympic sport, with swimming the most popular for both boys and girls.

The report also highlights that there is a Summer Olympic or Paralympic sport for everyone and every age.

Sports like athletics, hockey, volleyball, swimming and rowing have similar numbers of male and female participants, while over-55s dominate sports such as golf, sailing, and shooting.

90 percent of Australian participating in sport or physical activity 10.4 million adults participate in an Olympic sport (51 per cent).

“This is estimated to create around 4,400 jobs, deliver an extra 850,000 visitors to the Hunter region and add $12.7 billion to the economy over the next 20 years.

“For Port Stephens, this means more employment opportunities for locals, more opportunities for our businesses to expand and thrive, and more investment in our infrastructure.”

Mr Palmer said that represent Australia on the world stage.

Anja Hurdman told News Of The Area, “She is focusing on 100m and 200m.

‘This year her achievements have been 3 gold medals at NSW Country Championships and she was a finalist in U15 100m and 200m at Athletics Australia Nationals in Sydney last month.

this announcement unlocks the potential of the Port Stephens region, securing economic growth for generations to come.

“I want to thank the Prime Minister and the Federal Government for their support, and everyone involved at Newcastle Airport and across the Hunter region for their hard work in making this announcement a reality,” Mr Palmer said.

Alongside these additions, a Women’s budget, agricultural/ farm gate support and a resilient and secure Australia policy has been developed.

For some the motivation for sport is competition but others go all out for enjoyment with 81 percent of those surfing doing so for fun and enjoyment.

77 percent of sailors are also participating for fun and enjoyment, with 66 percent of those going paddling in kayaks or canoes also being involved for fun and enjoyment.

Sports like weightlifting, athletics, cycling, rowing and running are being taken up for physical health and fitness.

When it comes to our kids we are seeing swimming topping the sports for both boys and girls.

Top Olympic sports for boys include football, basketball and tennis while girls favour gymnastics, football and athletics.

Port Probus Clubs Riverboat Mailman Cruise

By Marian SAMPSON

FOR some residents of NSW the mail is delivered a little differently.

We are not talking about a drone drop; what we are talking about is a ferry service.

For those living on the Hawkesbury River there is a tradition that sees the mail delivered by the Riverboat Mailman.

On the mighty Hawkesbury River, 60 members of the Probus Club of Port Stephens, led by the lovely Fran Wathen, made the coach journey to Brooklyn and the Hawkesbury River Station to join the

Riverboat Postman cruise, and cover 40 kilometres of the river going as far as Marlow Creek.

David Heath of the Probus Club of Port Stephens told News Of The Area, “On boarding the Riverboat we were served tea, coffee and homemade Anzac biscuits by the very cheerful and energetic crew.

“Out on deck and on top level the views of the river and nature are stunning, and the Captains commentary on the history of the different settlements, and the eventual spanning of the river with a prefabricated steel bridge,

q The Members of the Probus Club of Port Stephens out on the deck during the Riverboat Mailman cruise on the Hawkesbury River.

was a delve back into the past and the pioneering spirit that stretched across Australia in those days.”

Throughout the journey The Riverboat Postie stopped to deliver mail and goodies to residents that don’t have, and probably don’t want, a road.

“Lunchtime gave way to a very well prepared and very fresh ploughman’s style lunch, prepared and cheerfully served by the crew, with care and attention to gluten and other dietary requirements.

“The bar service throughout was good and at prices that left your wallet with its original thickness.”

q

Enjoying the cruise.

The three and a half hour journey covers 40 kilometres of the lower Hawkesbury River, and the very informative and historical details are covered with entertaining commentary by the skipper.

“The journey home to the Bay on our Port Stephens Coaches bus was another wave of information from our skilful driver Mark, and arrival at the coach depot brought a round

of applause for the driver and Probus for another enjoyable and interesting day out,” he said.

If you would like to join in the activities and events of The Probus Club of Port Stephens you are more than welcome to join the Club.

his tireless efforts with the preparation of the green for the day and also his bbq skills when it came to feeding our bowlers after the game.

We are very excited to announce that our Social Gala Day will be held on the last Sunday of every month commencing June 27.

You can join us by simply phoning the office on 49818 474 or email your details to bowls@medowiesocial. com.au. We are very much looking forward to seeing you all there.

Unfortunately we have limited numbers so be sure to get your names in.

Social Inaugural Bowls Gala

By Louise CLEMENTS SUNSHINE, breeze, bowlers and a BBQ were the perfect ingredients for our inaugural Medowie Social Bowls Gala.

We had a fantastic turnout with 24 bowlers coming from as close as Tea Gardens while others from Mornington Peninsula in Victoria came to enjoy a day of fun and a little competition.

We had two very close games on the day with the first being Bev and Warwick Lowe scraping home against Joanne and David Boucher 15/14 and our second between Adam Clements and Gary Higgs nudging out Jason Price and John Hall

15/14 after an extra end to determine the winner.

I can’t write this report without mentioning one of our funny moments throughout the day, with two of our players pausing for the “smooch” on the change over.

I think this might have been a tactic to put the opponents off but sadly it wasn’t effective and they lost by just one shot.

As we all know it wouldn’t be a game of bowls if we didn’t have “the wrong bias” bowled.

I promised not to mention names; this time; but the gold coin donation was very quickly handed

over.

Our prize winners on the day were A. Clements and G. Higgs for the winning rink and M and J Ware for the runners-up rink.

Our “play of the day” winner was J. Taylor from Maitland City Bowling Club for his amazing bowling skills displayed throughout the

game.

Thank you to Charlie Way for the generous donation of prizes.

I must also thank every bowler who came to enjoy a great day of bowls and for their sportsmanship throughout the game.

We must also give a big thank you to John Bilby for

that waves from the site actually rocked the boat.

A few seconds later another Vampire, although apparently trying to pull out of a dive, crashed into the tidal zone not far away.

Both pilots were killed.

Vampires were the first jet aircraft to serve with both the Royal Australian Air Force

(RAAF) and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

They were manufactured by De Havilland at their works in Bankstown, Sydney.

On the fateful day, two pairs of Vampires were engaged in cine-gun quarter attack training.

The filmed attacks would be later analysed back at RAAF Williamtown to see just how

effective their efforts had been.

Each duo consisted of a qualified Vampire pilot and a trainee who was doing a conversion course from propeller powered Mustang fighters.

One of the trainee pilots reported that he was in a condition known as

The Double Vampire Tragedy

By Geoff WALKER

ALL seemed calm and serene on the morning of Sunday May 14 in 1951 near Karuah as Tanilba's Faylie Cook and her father fished from their boat.

Suddenly, a Vampire jet dived from the sky above and crashed into the water.

So close was the impact

'compressibility.'

This occurred when the jet went too fast and nose dived.

His leader instructed him to fare his dive brakes and throttle back.

It was of no use and he crashed into the water after a short and panicked radio message.

Meanwhile, hearing this drama unfold on the radio, the leader of the other two directed his student to regain

formation.

This he tried to do but mistakenly followed the stricken aircraft believing that it was his leader.

He realized his situation too late and despite trying to recover from the dive, crashed into the mud flats at low water.

Vampires served with the RAAF between 1949 and 1960 and were produced as both a single seat fighter and a two seat trainer.

ANH’S BRUSH WITH FAME

ABC, 8pm

Over six seasons, comedian, writer and painter Anh Do has interviewed and effortlessly painted a portrait for a who’s who of Australian celebrity and talent. From TV stars, to politicians, sports people, musicians, actors and fellow comedians, Do has been spoilt for choice.

Interestingly, tonight’s guest may be a name many have never heard of but it will be one they remember after hearing his compelling story. Tonight, ChineseAustralian ballet dancer Li Cunxin (above) sits down for an expansive chat about his extraordinary life. Better known as “Mao’s Last Dancer”, Cunxin overcame severe poverty in communist China to become a star on the world ballet stage.

Now more than halfway through season five (after tonight, there are only three episodes to gorge on), the shenanigans in small-town Whyhope are as fun and diverting as ever.

With just the right amount of romance, frivolousness, comedy and tension, it’s an Aussie drama which easily exports its good humour and heart (it airs in more than 10 countries). Tonight, Hugh (Rodger Corser, Glitch, right) is forced to choose sides when his mother Meryl (Tina Bursill) sets her sights on ruining new flame Sharna’s (Chantelle Jamieson) career. Ken (Charles Wu) reveals a shocking secret when his parents visit town and Hayley (Chloe Bayliss) has a crisis of faith after a very bad day.

AUSTRALIA’S FOOD BOWL

SBS FOOD, 7.30pm

SBS Food has its fingers firmly on the foodie pulse with its banquet of homegrown shows.

Premiering tonight, Australia’s Food Bowl, presented by renowned chef Stefano de Pieri, is another addition to the degustation of top-quality shows.

Filming in and around his hometown of Mildura, de Pieri not only reveals the abundance of glorious food, but its hardworking farmers and what it takes to get food onto your plate. With a focus on sustainability and farming challenges, it’s a timely love letter to the bountiful region he has called home for more than 30 years, as well as simple, delicious food.

Local Swimmers Bring Home Medals and Set Records

By Marian SAMPSON

LOCAL swimmer Ebony Nix has been enjoying a winning streak off the back of some serious training and hard work.

Ebony has recently competed in the National Swimming Championships and the State School Championships where she has had some great success.

Ebony was among three

q Ebony Nix swimming at the championships.

swimmers from Nelson Bay Swim Club to compete at the Nationals.

She was there alongside Randal Ingram and Taylor Corry.

Nix competed in the 13 year old girls with Randal Ingram in the 14 year old boys.

She took out Silver in the 100 metre butterfly event for her age group with a personal best of 1.03:20 seconds.

She also came 4th in the 200 metre butterfly with another amazing personal best of 2.22.

Pamela Nix Borthwick told News Of The Area, “After the Nationals she competed in the School State Championships and got a state record in the 100 butterfly as well as a gold in the 50 free and a silver in the 100 backstroke.”

Other members of the Nelson Bay Swim Club also did well at the nationals with Randal Ingram coming in as the second fastest 14 year q

old in the country for the 200 breaststroke at the Nationals.

Also of note was Taylor Corry who took out Gold for in the 50 metre butterfly, bronze in the 50 metre backstroke and silver in the 100 metre butterfly.

The Nelson Bay Swimming Club is located at Tomaree Aquatic Centre, Salamander Bay, in beautiful Port Stephens and part of the Coast & Valley Swimming Association.

The club is very proud of the achievement of the swimmers who represented them at the nationals.

Taking off from the blocks.

IT’S amazing what a difference a week can make.

Last week, the Medowie 7 Day Makeover transformed the town centre through pure people-power.

Medowie local Councillor Chris Doohan says the makeover has been a huge success.

“With a little elbow grease, almost 200 volunteers created a vibrant and welcoming town centre.

“The park next to Medowie Community Centre now has a fairy garden, sensory trail and a new reading stage. There’s relaxed wave seating is throughout the town, while artistic leaves and a huge mural show off Medowie’s creative side,” he said.

Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer said it has been a true community effort.

“I want to thank everyone who helped in any way — no matter how big or small — to make this makeover a success!

“If you haven’t been down to check out the results, go and spend some time in Medowie and enjoy the newly transformed town centre,” he said.

This week is an opportunity to celebrate another important community space — our libraries.

Council’s Library Services Manager Kris Abbott says Library & Information Week is a great opportunity to reconnect with your local library.

“We want our libraries to be welcoming and inclusive places for everyone — where you can learn something new, get involved in your community and have some fun!

“Every year we ask our users to tell us how satisfied they are with our services.

“This year we’re also asking people who aren’t current members what would encourage them to return, as we’d love to see even more people rediscover their local library,” she said.

The Library User Satisfaction Survey is open until 5pm Friday 18 June 2021 at surveymonkey.com/r/PSCLSS2021.

ybawn – the epitome of style, elegance and versatility WALK around historic Stroud and you step back in time – in the most delightful way.

A historic village nestled in the fringe of the Hunter region, Stroud has a distinctly colonial feel; hardly surprising, as the town was built to serve the commercial activities of the powerful Australian Agricultural Company in the early 1800’s.

While the AAC’s association with Stroud has been consigned to history, the picturesque and friendly country town’s popularity has remained strong and a firm favorite of many Sydneysiders as either a weekend retreat purchase or a complete tree change.

Stroud’s popularity has increased even further during the Covid-19 pandemic, attracting a variety of buyers from Sydney, Central Coast, Maitland and Newcastle areas, who are yearning for the relaxed rural lifestyle and fresh air that the Village and region are renowned for.

Enter elegant Derrybawn, a landmark property, meticulously restored and renovated and occupying a

Thursday, 20 May, 2021

prestigious Cowper Street location.

Set within beautiful gardens, Derrybawn’s history offers insight into its unique flexibility of use.

Constructed in 1905 by ‘Mr Price’ who named the property in honour of Mt Derrybawn in his Irish homeland, the floorplan catered to the property’s original purpose as an elite boarding house; many of its guests having arrived by horse drawn coach.

Over the ensuing years, Derrybawn has enjoyed colourful chapters as a doctor’s surgery, cafe, restaurant and as it is now, a beautiful home delivering an elegant yet relaxed lifestyle.

The dimensions and character are impressive with its 12ft pressed metal ceilings, wide timber floorboards; mellowed with age, pretty coloured glass and leadlight features throughout.

A floor plan that sees formal and informal dining and living rooms,

www.newsofthearea.com.au

entertainer’s kitchen, four spacious bedrooms, three with sitting rooms, two bathrooms and idyllic garden set alfresco dining and entertainment spaces.

To wood fires and infloor ducted air conditioning ensure year-round temperature comfort.

Style, live-ability and versatility are a wonderful combination, and it’s evident that the property remains as adaptable now as it was when built, offering an idyllic private residence, BnB or rental accommodation – of which Stroud is in short supply - or a combined home and business venue.

Stroud is also renowned for its breathtaking scenery, its proximity to the Hunter Valley’s wineries, snowcapped, World Heritage Barrington Tops National Park, plus within easy reach of the Mid-North Coast’s white sand beaches, azure seas and commercial hubs.

Last week’s announcement that Newcastle Airport, a mere

45 minutes away and currently offering easy air access to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and a wide range of regional destinations, will undergo an exciting upgrade to international airport status is sure to see Stroud’s popularity soar to even greater heights.

Stroud is also well placed for access to hospitals, has a medical centre, pharmacy, ambulance station, golf club, hotel, cafés, beauty, retail stores, restaurants, parks, schools and transport.

Discerning private buyers and investors will readily appreciate the outstanding opportunities that await beyond Derrybawn’s front gate.

Derrybawn will be going to online Auction with Denise Haynes of R&R Property on 11 June at 2pm, if not sold prior.

BEAUTIFYING MY NATURE STRIP “I’d like to beautify my nature strip.

Are there any processes I need to look at?”

AS property owners, we don’t own the land that constitutes our nature strip, yet Councils expect us to care for and maintain it. Additionally, if there are existing trees or shrubbery we can’t cut/remove them – they’re Council assets and Council’sresponsibility – consequently nature strips have become a bit of a grey area. Nature strips have practical functions, predominantly ensuring clear sight lines for pedestrians and traffic, but that doesn’t mean we’re all consigned to maintaining wastelands.

Rules vary between Councils regarding what can be done. Some Councils prevent any plantings, others are more flexible but have strict guidelines. Still other Councils have fully embraced residents’ requests to plant vegetable gardens, or small shrubs/flowering plants with spectacular results: reducingtraffic pollution, creating shade, thereby reducing that hideous bare asphalt heat, reducing run-off and providing welcome safe havens for insects and birds. And one of the best results? The improvements in human health and wellbeing by providing not only an aesthetically pleasing vision but a means for the community to connect and engage. Start with the Council’s website, check their guidelines and go from there. Here’s to planting success!

No purpose for Parklets

DEAR News Of The Area,

AFTER just retiring recently to Shoal Bay I have been telling my family and friends how beautiful this hidden little treasure is, calling it the North Shore of Nelson Bay. That is until these cheap nasty parklets arrived.

They serve absolutely no purpose except for one cafe.

They have completely devalued and cheapened the look of Shoal bay.

Now that the foreshore is under renovation and even more parking is temporarily taken away, it is extremely urgent that these Parklets be removed immediately.

The elderly need a disabled parking spot outside the chemist as well as parking where the Parklets are currently situated.

Regards, Cathay EDWARDS, Shoal Bay.

Stockton Beach closed

By Tara CAMPBELL

THE Worimi Conservation Lands on Stockton Beach front is currently closed to driving north of Lavis Lane to the Gan Gan access due to the recent weather and rough sea conditions causing erosion on the beachfront.

In the past week, conditions on the beach have worsened, leaving signs to stop fourwheel-drives being erected between the Gan Gan entrance at Anna Bay and the Lavis Lane entrance at Williamtown.

A representative of New South Wales Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) told News Of The Area, “The extent of the damage has been

Thursday, 20 May, 2021

exacerbated by 4WD vehicles driving illegally on the frontal dune attempting to avoid dangerous steep drop offs or high tides.

“This behaviour destroys the critical vegetation that stabilises the frontal dune, which is an essential natural barrier to maintain the integrity of the dune system

and protect the park’s significant cultural sites and values from large ocean swells and storm events.

“As the beach recovers from the storm and swell damage, other driving hazards may develop, including large pools of water, soft, saturated sand and unstable

DEAR Jasminda,

Is it okay to work from home in your pyjamas on cold days?

Since the pandemic, our workplace has continued to work from home, and I just feel more comfortable.

Mrs Tina F. Dear Tina, I CAN totally understand the temptation to work in your pyjamas.

In 10-degree weather, who wouldn't want to be rugged up in their Oodie, bunny slippers and beanie.

Now many of us are still working from home, we are also paying for it with our power bills, so swanning around in something cosy makes sense.

The only problem I can see is that we should dress for the job we aspire to, not the job we are in. If you wear your pyjamas when working from home, you could subconsciously be paving the way for a slack attitude to your workday.

This week it may just be pyjamas, but by next week you will probably have moved from your desk to the lounge and put on the midday movie.

In a month's time you could potentially have given up on work altogether, instead eating ice cream and fudge sauce straight from the tub, wearing a mud mask and making nostalgic Spotify playlists instead of fulfilling your role as a procurement officer.

It may go unnoticed for a while, but how will you explain it away at your next performance review?

"Yes, John, I can see that we have run out of essential medical supplies, but on the upside, my job satisfaction is at an all-time high."

Perhaps you could just look professional from the waist up?

This will be particularly useful for any impromptu video conferencing calls.

sand banks.

“The current closure will remain in place until the beachfront can be safely reopened for vehicles.”

NPWS and the Worimi Conservation Lands Board of Management are planning a major upgrade of the Gan Gan Road entrance to reestablish and re-vegetate the frontal dune, and install a stabilising ‘Track Pad’, to help prevent vehicles from getting bogged or damaging the frontal dune as they traverse to the beachfront.

Stockton Beach has many ongoing issues that are constantly being addressed by not only National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Worimi Traditional Owners of the land, but the local Council and the Federal Government.

As the beach recovers from recent storms there are changing conditions that all residents should be aware of.

These hazards include large pools of water, steep intertidal zones, soft sand, unstable sandbanks and exposed objects.
