Preparations for next year’s Junior State Cup Touch titles are well underway at Wagga Wagga’s Jubilee Park.

Wagga Wagga will host the Southern Conference titles from 22-24 February 2019 with 3500 players, coaching staff, officials, match officials and an additional 8500 entourage of supporters/parents expected to converge on the city.

The city’s excellent touch fields and facilities at Jubilee Park were a key part to Wagga Wagga being awarded the Southern Conference event for three years up to 2021.

The turf surfaces at Jubilee Park were recently cored with contractor Nick Kuzmanov (pictured) giving the fields his closest attention to detail.

City to host NRL game on 4 May The Canberra Raiders will play an NRL game in Wagga Wagga on Saturday 4 May, marking the start of a partnership between Wagga Wagga City Council and the club.

At the 27 August Council meeting, it was resolved to enter into a two-year agreement with the Raiders and the NRL for 2019 and 2020, with the option for a third year.

The 2019 game will follow the

Murrumbidgee Turf Club’s annual two-day Gold Cup Carnival, which will be held in the City of Good Sports on 2 to 3 May. The NRL game will kick-off at 3pm at McDonald’s Park, with a curtain-raiser game to be played beforehand.

“This marks the start of the partnership between Wagga Wagga City Council and the Raiders, which will continue to grow and benefit both our community and the club in the coming years,” Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Greg Conkey OAM said.

“The Gold Cup Carnival is already one of Wagga Wagga’s premier events, which will only be strengthened by the NRL game on

Saturday 4 May. Not only will it encourage people to stay longer in the city after the races, it will attract more visitors to the carnival.

“As well as boosting rugby league at a grass roots level, hosting an NRL game in Wagga Wagga is estimated to inject $2M into the local economy and will add to the 1.3M people who visit our city each year.”

Raiders CEO Don Furner was delighted with the placement of the game, meaning a ‘Festival of Sport’ will be rolled out in Wagga Wagga on the first weekend in May. “We are excited about this premiership fixture, the Riverina is a great rugby league region and we are looking forward to

finalising plans now that we have a date confirmed,” he said.

Murrumbidgee Turf Club CEO Scott Sanbrook was thrilled the NRL game would follow the Gold Cup Carnival, saying the two events will complement each other.

“It will be a great way to cross promote each event,” he said. “We know the Gold Cup Carnival is one of the biggest tourism drivers in Wagga for the year and to have the NRL game to complement it is perfect.”

Tickets for the game in Wagga Wagga will go on sale at the end of November with further details about the game being released through the Raiders' official website www.raiders.com.au as they evolve.

Byrnes Road project at halfway point

The first one kilometre of the 2.2km Brynes Road rehabilitation project between Bavin Road intersection and East Bomen Road intersection was sealed last week.

Wagga Wagga City Council Director Commercial Operations Caroline Angel said the completion of the first kilometre is a significant milestone in the project.

“The aim of the works is to improve drainage and build a road surface able to withstand an increase in heavy vehicles movements at Bomen Business Park,” Ms Angel said.

“We’re on track to complete the remaining 1.2km section before Christmas and we thank the local residents and the businesses at Bomen who use the road for their patience during these works. We are doing everything possible to minimise disruptions for trucks and other vehicles.”

The Byrnes Road/Eunony Bridge Road corridor forms the major access route to the Bomen Business Park and the site of the proposed Riverina Intermodal Freight

and Logistics (RiFL) Hub. The works are due to be completed by the end of the year, weather permitting.

The $1.2M project is funded by Wagga Wagga City Council ($289,152) and the Infrastructure NSW’s Fixing Country Roads program ($868,168).

wagga.nsw.gov.au/byrnesroad

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS

There will be minor delays, however, there will be no full road closures during the project.

Works are undertaken between 7am and 5pm with traffic lights or stop/go traffic control in place.

Traffic flow along Byrnes Road is reduced to one lane under the control of traffic lights or stop/go traffic controllers, with access to be reinstated at the end of every shift.

Local access will be maintained during works and staff will be on site to assist residents and businesses if required.

TREES TO BE REMOVED Two trees on Edward Street, opposite Wagga Wagga Base Hospital, will be removed next week.

The trees are located at 263 and 265 Edward Street and are near driveways, affecting vision for motorists. It has also become an

increased hazard due to RMS lane shifting in the area.

The works will start Wednesday 24 October at 10am and run through to 3pm.

East bound traffic will be affected.

A kerbside lane

closure will be in place and the speed reduced to 40km/h.

A bus shelter in the work area will be closed with a temporary bus zone located 100 metres past the work area towards Murray Street.

If you spot illegal kerbside dumping, lodge your report to 131 555 or at ridonline.epa.nsw.gov.au

FROM SCOTL AND TO WAGGA WAGGA

There’s more than just a wee bit of Wagga Wagga flavour in a selection of local keepsakes being fashioned from a Scottish tartan synonomous with the city.

The Wagga Wagga Tartan was designed 15 years ago with the colours interwoven into the design related specifically to the city and its armorial bearings.

And now the last of the current batch of fabric has been handcrafted into various items which are available at The Wagga Shop at the Visitor Information Centre.

The tartan was designed by Wagga Wagga resident Daphne Appelbee and Betty Johnston, Australia’s leading tartan designer, in 2003.

It carries the registration number 2964 and is recorded and certified with the Scottish Tartan World Register. The fabric is 100 per cent pure wool and is made in Scotland.

Daphne supplied The Wagga Shop with many intricate items made from the tartan including ties, bowties, scarves, needle cases and a teddy bear. After Daphne’s passing, the Visitor Information Centre purchased the remaining fabric from her family.

The fabric has been used to craft a selection of items sewn

by Roswitha Spence who is renowned for her needlework talents.

“We have been very fortunate to engage the sewing talents of Roswitha, from Ashculme Textiles in Wagga Wagga, to sew the remaining fabric,” Council’s Visitor Services Operations Officer Sarah Myers said.

“She has created some beautiful new items with the remaining fabric including a bag, a cosmetic pouch and a scarf.”

Roswitha is known far and wide as a talented and passionate

Her interest in needlework and craft started when Roswitha was a young girl, sewing her first stitches at age three.

“The Wagga Wagga Tartan is a remarkable fabric. The pure new wool is exceptionally fine and soft, the colours are clean and radiant without being harsh, and the pattern well balanced,” Roswitha said.

“It is a luxury cloth to work with and I feel truly honoured to be given this task. I hope the items created will bring pleasure to all who come to own a piece of Wagga Wagga Tartan.”

The Wagga Wagga Tartan items

are now available at The Wagga Shop located inside the Visitor Information Centre in Tarcutta Street.

The chosen colours for the Wagga Wagga Tartan design:

• Blue – The Murrumbidgee River (water) • Tan – The banks of the Murrumbidgee • Yellow – For the flower of the Wagga Wagga floral emblem, the Silver Banksia • Green – Representing the River Gums, the leaves of the Silver Banksia and the many trees lining Wagga Wagga streets.

• Faded Green – the unique velvety underside of the Silver Banksia leaves.

SMOOTH CYCLING: More than 200m of concrete was poured recently atop the new section of levee bank constructed along Kooringal Road. The new three-metre wide path starts at Cemetery Road and will eventually link up with the existing cycle path at Copland Street. The area is buzzing with activity as work also continues on the 80m section of spillway being constructed opposite the Exhibition Centre. The new pathway will be open by the end year when construction works are scheduled for completion.

Wagga Wagga’s premier springtime celebration of live music, food and culture Fusion18 is on today, Saturday 20 October, from 4pm to 9.30pm in the Victory Memorial Gardens and Civic Centre Precinct.

Wagga Wagga City Council’s annual multicultural street festival will be headlined

by Mama Kin Spender, Oh Mercy, Henry Wagons and Woodes, along with a range of entertainment, food and activities.

With a crowd of more than 10,000 people, Wagga Wagga City Council and major sponsor Riverina Water County Council (RWCC) are working together to help reduce waste at Fusion18.

“Riverina Water is

excited to be part of Fusion. We’ll be helping our community stay hydrated during the event with fresh and healthy local water at our refill stations,” RWCC General Manager Andrew Crakanthorp said.

“By drinking tap water at Fusion, you’ll help reduce the need for single-use plastic bottles, which can clog up landfill and end up as litter.”

In addition, Council is working towards making Fusion19 free from single-use plastics such as bags, containers and cutlery.

“Fusion has grown to become one of the city’s premier events attracting thousands of people each year,” Council’s Director Community Janice

Summerhayes said.

“Large events also generate a large amount of waste and we are working to reduce that through introducing biodegradable or compostable cutlery and containers in 2019 as well having green-lid food organics bins at the festival.”

The full program and festival map are now available online at wagga.nsw.gov.au/ fusion.

Fusion18 is presented

by Wagga Wagga City Council and made possible by major sponsor Riverina Water County Council, media sponsor The Daily Advertiser, supporting partner Origin Energy and cultural partners the Multicultural Council of Wagga Wagga and Riverina Community College.

Council meets with state regulator on Tatton Drain The NSW Government approval process for the temporary diversion of stormwater from Tatton Drain into Lake Albert is proving to be a barrier which will put a stop to the project.

Council General Manager Peter Thompson met with four representatives from the Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAS) on Monday and said a solution to the temporary diversion would not be happening in the short term.

“The list of requirements we were given really means it’s not a viable solution,” Mr Thompson said.

“Not because we can’t do it, but because the State Government has

WHAT’S

ON WAGGA WAGGA + SURROUNDS

got a rule book and processes in place which means the Wagga community can’t divert water from the Tatton Drain without significant delay and cost.

“There was a suggestion an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) would be required. That is a substantial document which could cost $50,000 to $100,000.

There is an advertising process which will take three months on its own.

“It would be madness to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to pursue a temporary short term fix to try to alleviate the lake level – particularly when the process won’t be finalised until after summer.

“The outcome is a poor result for the community.

“Now we have to devote our attention to a more permanent solution. If we’re going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on it, it’s not going to be on something that’s a stopgap measure.”

Mr Thompson said he could understand the community’s disappointment and now hoped the NSW Government would assist in finding a solution for Lake Albert and the Wagga community.

“I’ve said this before - people should expect more from their governments.

“If that’s the case then the State Government needs to step in and actually provide a solution for the people of Wagga.

“If it dries up there’s only one agency the Wagga community can look to now, and it’s the State Government.

“This is quite a sad and unfortunate situation and we shouldn’t underestimate what a big difference we could have made for the people of Wagga … and in my view it’s a failure of government to provide an outcome to the community it serves.”

ROADWORKS DUNN: Maintenance work on Dunns Road was completed on Thursday a day ahead of schedule with a report on the long-term future of the road expected to go before Wagga Wagga City Council in November. The roadworks included re-sheeting the surface with new material and grading that surface to an appropriate profile.

Scheduled work on the road was brought forward to start on 10 October due to the effect recent weather conditions have had on the surface.

HELPING HAND FOR SQUIRREL GLIDERS Endangered squirrel gliders will soon be soaring higher and more safely across a Wagga Wagga conservation area south of the city.

“There is the opportunity to develop this project which will ultimately assist the gliders with seamless movement through their natural habitat.
