Border to host 2018 Deaf Games

CityLife is Wodonga Council’s monthly publication and is delivered around Wodonga.

Albury-Wodonga will host the Australian Deaf Games in 2018, attracting 1000 competitors and delivering an estimated $3 million to the local economy.

Approximately 16,000 copies are printed each month by Border Mail Printing, Wodonga.

The games are run by Deaf Sports Australia and will be held in Albury and Wodonga from January 20 to 27 in 2018, following the Australian National Junior Country Cup basketball event.

CityLife is printed on recycled paper, which is made up of 20 to 40 per cent of recycled fibre from old newspapers. It can also be re-added to newsprint production as a recycled fibre after use.

Jamieson Court Preschool opens A major redevelopment providing additional rooms and facilities for Jamieson Court Preschool has been officially opened.

Member for Northern Victoria, Jaclyn Symes, joined Wodonga councillor Michael Fraser in opening the $506,000 redevelopment completed late last year.

The works have enabled the preschool to increase its three-year-old program from 23 to 33 places, and its fouryear-old program from 44 to 66 places.

Additional space has been created to provide better

access to family, allied and community support services, and to allow families to interact and become engaged in their community.

The redevelopment also made way for the Trudewind Rd Maternal and Child Health service to move to the Jamieson Court Preschool precinct, improving maternal and child health services across the city.

Cr Fraser said it was almost 30 years to the day that the original preschool building was officially opened.

“It is exciting that today, on the eve of the centre’s 30-year anniversary,

we are celebrating a new refurbishment and expansion,” he said.

“This work has enabled us to provide vital early years education to more children in our city.”

The redevelopment was jointly funded by the Department of Education and Training ($350,000) and Wodonga Council ($156,000).as part of a six-year program with the Victorian Government that has seen major upgrades of all Wodong’s early childhood centres. The total cost of the program is about $6.5 million.

More than 1000 athletes, plus interpreters, visitors,officials and volunteers from around Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Samoa will attend.

Wodonga Council Mayor Anna Speedie said the high standard of the Border’s sporting venues helped the cities win the Games.

“Venues including the Wodonga Tennis Centre, Martin Park, Lauren Jackson Sports Centre and Albury Swim Centre, will host 17 sports such as swimming, netball, basketball, cricket and tennis.”

The games provide a pathway for athletes through to international competition in the Asia Pacific Deaf Games and Deaflympics.

It’s estimated there are more than 1000 deaf and hearingimpaired people in the region.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON HIGH ST SHARED ZONE TRIAL Wodonga Council is asking the community if it supports the idea of trialling a shared zone in High St. The works planned for this section of High St are due to commence in the 2018-2019 financial year which provides the opportunity for the council to create a temporary shared zone so businesses and the community can see and experience how it works.

Wodonga Mayor Cr Anna Speedie said.

The Promenade was officially opened by (from left) Wodonga Council CEO Patience Harrington, Wodonga Mayor Cr Speedie, Places Victoria CEO Mr Gregory Anderson and Places Victoria Chairperson Mr Tony De Domenico.

ALIVE WITH POSSIBILITIES

A shared zone is a road area shared by vehicles and pedestrians in which pedestrians have priority and motorists must give way to pedestrians.

The proposed shared zone would run from the post office to Sesame Lane, about 100 metres in length.

The temporary shared zone would see: nT he pedestrian crossing with traffic lights at the post office turned off; nT he centre median removed; n Pavement markings put down to differentiate the zone; nT he installation of kerb ramps to aid pedestrian movements; decrease in the nA speed limit to 20kmh; and, n The installation of signage and hard infrastructure including seating, gardens and trees to further activate the space.

Cost to the council for the trial is minimal as works would either need to be done as part of the road reconstruction and elements can be reused.

The project is the result of the Australian Government National Stronger Regions Funding.

SHARED ZONE TRIAL FOR HIGH ST

Wodonga Council is seeking feedback from the community on proposed changes to the speed zone around the Baranduda Primary School. The expansion of the residential area bordering the school has resulted in Verbena St being extended, requiring the existing 40kmh permanent speed zone to be extended to all streets fronting the school (and nearby Sage Court) to make it safer for students and parents.

Wodonga Council is asking the community if it supports the idea of trialling a shared zone in High St. A shared zone is a road area shared by vehicles and pedestrians in which pedestrians have right of way. The proposed shared zone would run from the post office to Sesame Lane and help revitalise the heart of the city by making it safer and more appealing to shoppers.

As well as regular exercise, you can improve your health and wellbeing by practicising mindful eating. It’s simply being more aware of your eating habits and the flavours and sensations you experience from eating.

You don’t need to follow any recipes or menus, just adopt a mindful eating approach to your regular eating habits.

Over time, being mindful in the way we eat gradually increases our awareness of what, why and how much we want to eat, and we naturally begin to choose foods that satisfy genuine needs and wants.

GRANTS OPEN Individuals and community groups in Wodonga can apply for funding to grow ideas creatively to ultimately improve the city through Wodonga Council’s Community Impact Grants.

The grants offer up to $500 for an individual, or up to $5000 for an organisation (or workplace, or individual auspiced by a community organisation) and aim to build stronger communities, support a sustainable environment, and celebrate arts and culture.

The grants aim to celebrate and support our community, by funding ideas and initiatives that aim to strengthen social outcomes for all.

Applications close the second Tuesday of each month (March 8, April 12, May 10).

Litter hygiene tips There are a number of ways the community can get involved in keeping Wodonga looking great and litter free.

This can start at home with you and your weekly bin collection days. By keeping bin lids closed, you can reduce the spread of litter down the streets and into the city’s open spaces through the wind blowing.

This can also stop birds, cats and rodents getting into the bins and spreading litter around.

If too much rubbish is preventing the lid closing, litter may spill

out when the truck is emptying the bin.

By removing bins after rubbish is collected, you can have a beautiful looking street of green grass and flowering trees and plants to look at instead of rubbish bins.

By keeping bins clean, the bin can look as good as it can. A clean bin also reduces nasty smells and also helps control flies and bees being attracted to them.

Let’s get smart about rubbish collection. This will allow everyone to enjoy the surrounds without it being interrupted by litter.

Tips for using caddy liners Residents have been thanked for embracing the introduction of organics recycling.

Here are some tips to getting the most out of the compostable binliners that are used in the kitchen caddy.

• The roll of compostable lime green kitchen caddy bin liners should last for 12 months based on using two to three liners per week.

• The liners are designed for kitchen scraps only.

• For pet waste, perhaps wrap waste in newspapers or place directly in the green-lidded organics bin.

• Lawn clippings and garden material should be placed directly in the bin.

• If preparing meals for a large group, consider putting all scraps into newspaper, wrapping and placing in the green-lidded organics bin.

• If preparing meals with shellfish which can create bulky waste, consider wrapping them in newspaper.

IF YOU RUN OUT OF LINERS • Consider lining your kitchen caddy with newspaper.

• At meal times, all scraps can be placed in newspaper, wrapped up then placed directly in the green-lidded organics bin.

• Scraps can be gathered in a bowl and dropped directly into the green-lidded organics bin.

• Additional rolls of the suitable 25 lime green kitchen caddy bin liners can be collected from your local council.

• Please ensure that you do not purchase bags labelled as ‘biodegradable’, these do not meet the strict requirements of being compostable for the organics collections service and are considered contamination.

• A new roll of compostable bin liners for your caddy will be delivered to your home every 12 months.

VOLUNTEER, BALLET DANCER WIN AWARDS

John Pimm was presented with an Eagle Award by Wodonga Mayor Cr Anna Speedie at the February council meeting.

John received the Eagle Award in recognition of his enormous contribution volunteering to various community organisations from the Wodonga Apex Club to the Albury Wodonga Yacht Club, Wodonga Hockey Club,

3rd Wodonga Scouts, Carols

by Candlelight and Guide Dog Victoria.

John, a life member at Wodonga Apex Club, was able to have a defibrillator installed at the club.

The Eagle Award recognises people in our city who, through their volunteer work, are making a difference to the community.

A 13-year-old ballet dancer was awarded the Young Achiever Support Scheme from Cr Speedie for her commitment and success in ballet.

Indianna Drew has been selected to compete at an international ballet competition in Florida at the end of March.

She will be showcasing the

outstanding dance talent in the Wodonga region.

Indi trains at the Regional Academy of Performing Arts in Wodonga for an average of 25 hours per week.

The YASS award helps young people in Wodonga pursue their interests at a state, national or international level across a range of disciplines.

EASTER RECYCLING TIPS With the Halve Waste Schools Education program visiting some Wodonga schools, many children know how to use the red, green and yellow-lidded bins properly.

But with Easter fast approaching, did you know you can recycle all the foil from your Easter eggs into the yellow-lidded bin?

Scrunch it up into a ball first – that way it won’t get missed when the blowers sort the recycling.

Watch a video on: n What goes in each bin at wod.city/3-binFAQs n What happens once your recycling is collected from your kerb at wod.city/ IHeartRecyclingrecyclingweek

IN BRIEF DO YOU USE BPAY VIEW?

Event to celebrate 45 years of the Valiant Charger

Wodonga Council is able to issue rate notices via BPay View directly to your personal internet banking portal. Register through your internet banking site.

To ensure the smooth sale or purchase of a property, consider building permits and how they impact you.

If you register before the notices go out then you will receive the notice directly into your internet banking site and will receive a notification either via SMS or email to say it is available for viewing.

If you purchase a property that has illegal building works, you as the current owner of the property are liable for those works.

RATES NOTICES EMAILED The facility is available for the council to issue rate notices as a pdf document to the nominated email address provided by any ratepayer. If you wish to use this method and not have your notice posted, please contact the customer focus team on (02) 6022 9300 to provide the email address.

This year's Chryslers on the Murray gathering will celebrate 45 years of the Valiant Charger.

The southern hemisphere’s biggest annual Chrysler expo – Chryslers On The Murray – is expected to be even bigger this year with special events to mark the 45th anniversary of the Valiant Charger.

Some 700 vehicles are expected at Gateway Lakes on the Lincoln Causeway for the 24th annual Chryslers On The Murray from Saturday, March 19 to Sunday, March 20.

Of those vehicles, more than 200 will be Valiant Chargers which will also take part in a photo shoot at the Ettamogah Pub on the

Saturday afternoon and a charger seminar at the SS&A Club in Albury on Saturday night.

The seminar will include presentations by Charger race car drivers and engineers.

Event co-ordinator Brett Saggers said up to 9000 visitors were expected over the two days, with people travelling from all over Australia, including Perth.

“The show has grown from humble beginnings in 1991 when the newly formed Albury Wodonga Chrysler Club held its first one-

day show, with 28 cars on display,” he said.

“Since then it has increased by about 25 per cent every year.

“We are one of the smallest Chrysler clubs in Australia, with 23 members, yet we have the second biggest Chrysler show in the world (the biggest is in America).”

All models of Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Valiant and AMC will be on show.

It will include vehicles manufactured from the early 20s to current models. A show and shine will be held at 9am on Sunday.

As a preventative measure prior to purchase, it is recommended your real estate agent ask for permission from the owners to access the building file at the council to ascertain that all works on the property have a building permit and an accompanying final certificate or occupancy permit.

If you are selling a property, any illegal building works on your property will generally be discovered at contract stage and you will be required to submit an application for illegal works.

This application has a penalty built into the application fee of 150 per cent.

A note about swimming pools and spas.

If you are buying a property with a swimming pool or spa, ask for a swimming pool certificate/compliance inspection to ensure the safety barriers comply with the regulations.

Trail bike riders warned stay safe, ride legally Trail bike riders are reminded to ride safely, stick to legal riding areas, and steer clear of rail trails and walking tracks – especially in the upcoming school holidays.

“Complaints about noise and safety from motorbikes riding in council reserves and on footpaths peak during school holiday periods,” Wodonga Council’s Natural Resources Co-ordinator Andrew Griffiths said.

“Riding in council reserves is not allowed.

“We urge everyone using motorbikes to stick to

formed roads, and if they are riding on private land to be considerate of nearby neighbours,” Mr Griffiths said.

According to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), trail bike riding is increasingly popular in the Hume Region, but riders must remember that in forests and parks motorcycles can only be used on formed roads and vehicle tracks.

The department advises that it is an offence in forests and parks to ride off-road on informal tracks and the natural terrain because of

the environmental damage it causes.

In addition, if you are unlicensed or your bike is unregistered you are only allowed to ride on private land or at motorcycle club tracks.

Riding a motorcycle off formed roads, damaging public land, unlicensed riding and using unregistered minibikes on public land are all serious offences with fines potentially exceeding $1000.
