Fitz Live returns for second weekend Fitz Live returns to Fitzmaurice Street on Saturday 5 May with more than 20 live acts performing homegrown local music in 11 Wagga Wagga businesses.

“The first Fitz Live event in March was a huge success with 32 artists involved and we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from both the community and businesses involved,” Wagga Wagga City Council Cultural Officer, Tracie Miller said.

“We are now looking forward to delivering an even bigger and better second Fitz Live in May - and it’s timed to coincide with the Wagga Wagga Gold Cup, a weekend which traditionally brings thousands of visitors to the city.

“Wagga Wagga is home to many fabulous artists and we hope people can enjoy a range of local, live music while they’re out shopping or enjoying a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon.

“I’m excited that we’ve added another outdoor location, to expand the Fitz Live experience. You can catch experimental funk duo Aname in the laneway between Nemo’s Fish & Chips and Quick Print Wagga.”

Following on the success of the March event, visitors and shoppers can discover local acts in both traditional music venues and unexpected spots: • Cave BBQ • Kidsons Cycles • Thirsty Crow • Knights Meats and

From front page “There are 22 sections of locally sourced concrete to be poured. Each 40 cubic metre section is constructed with a complex steel mesh foundation before 96 tonnes of concrete is poured into the slab. It takes approximately one day to pour and set each section of the 350m spillway,” Senior Project Manager Darryl Woods said.

He said the long spell of dry weather had allowed the works to continue without interruption and the spillway is scheduled for completion by the end of May.

M AY O R E S S ’ C H A R I T Y C O N C E RT R E T U R N S I N J U LY The Mayoress’ Charity Concert is returning to entertain the Wagga Wagga community after more than a decade’s absence. The event is sponsored by Thomas Bros Group, Sureway, Riverina Cardiology, Combined Rotary Clubs of Wagga Wagga, Borambola Wines and Yenda Ale. “Our very own Thomas Bros Group Rural Command Performance variety concert, a spoof of the UK’s annual live show, The Royal Variety Performance, will showcase the best Wagga Wagga talent,” Wagga Wagga City Council Mayor, Councillor Greg Conkey OAM said.

“The line up includes a mix of Wagga Wagga based performers who have teamed up

with ex-Wagga Wagga professionals working in Melbourne and Sydney, and renowned band, The Groove Factorie.”

“More than 30 performers said yes, without hesitation, when I called to invite them to participate,” Mrs Jenny Conkey said.

“It’s sure to be a truly memorable gala event. Direction is by Peter Cox, Musical Direction by David Wall, choreography by Katherine Fisher and Peter J. Casey will hold the reins as the Master of Ceremonies.

“The very first gala was a black tie event hosted by Helena Heddich in 1978 or 79, and according to the records, the Kapooka Band performed. The Gala was most recently held in 2003 and hosted

by Mrs Gwen Wales.”

All proceeds from the two performances of the Mayoress’ Charity Concert will go towards supporting the youth development programs at the Wagga Wagga PCYC. The Mayoress’ Charity Concert, Thomas Bros Group Rural Command Performance, is on Saturday, 28 July 28 at 2pm and 7.30pm at the Civic Theatre Wagga Wagga.

BABY BUBBA: Council’s Supervisor, Horticulture, Henry Pavitt and Zoo Curator Kira McBeath with newly named Bubba.

MEE T BUBBA AT T HE BO TANIC G ARDENS ZOO

Wagga’s donkey foal Bubba lapped up the attention on Tuesday morning when he was officially named at the Botanic Gardens Zoo. The community was invited to contribute to the very important decision of naming the donkey foal, the second born to mother Jenny.

“More than 150 suggestions for names were posted to Council’s Facebook page,” Council’s Supervisor, Horticulture, Henry Pavitt said.

“Many of the suggested names focussed on the Forrest Gump naming tradition of previous years.

Dad is named Forrest, Mum is Jenny

and older brother is Forrest Junior.

“Popular entries receiving numerous votes included Lieutenant Dan, Cadbury, Bubba, Duffy, and Shrimp.”

The 150 entries were collated and then shortlisted down to three by the Council staff who care for the animals housed at the Botanic Gardens Zoo. The winning name, Bubba, was then selected by Council’s Director of Commercial Operations, Caroline Angel.

The community is welcome to meet the adorable Bubba at the Botanic Gardens Zoo. It’s free and open every day from 9am to 4pm.

URANA S TREE T ASPHALTING WORKS S TART ON 7 MAY Asphalt works will start on Urana Street, between Bourke and Mitchelmore Streets, on Monday, 7 May. The Urana St works are approximately 700m in length and Council has scheduled two weeks to complete the project.

Consultation is underway with

affected residents about the staging of the works to ensure vehicular access is maintained and to minimise disruption.

The intensive work requires the thick asphalt to be laid in three separate layers: two lower base layers and one top wearing course.

Once all lower layers are completed the contractor will then complete the top wearing course over the entire stretch.

While Urana Street is closed detours are in operation via Coleman Street and Fernleigh Road from 7 to 18 April.
