Talking POINTS
with BOB HOLLAND
Our Councillors continue to come out with some concerning questions and comments at Council meetings. I keep mentioning these because Councillors represent us, and we expect them to be up to the job, and that they conduct themselves in a businesslike manner that shows they know what they’re doing and have our best interests at heart. In my view, many of them fail at this too often.
Flying Kangaroo’s first hop
Engineers of the future
QantasLink – local service for the famous Flying Kangaroo — intends to be Australia’s premier regional carrier, a senior executive said after their first regular flight from Sydney to Orange recently.
Old-school studying for years at university before going-out into the workforce could be very yesterday if an innovative internship program being utilised by Orange City Council to train workers of the future takes-off.

“Duration Cottage” heritage listings
No Guts, No Glory — Response
Built for local workers during World War II, but are Orange’s “Duration Cottages” of historical importance? East Orange locals want to know!
Democracy being what it is; there was a varied and diverse response from Orange’s elected councillors to “Orange City Life Newswatch” publisher Bob Holland’s recent feature “No Guts, no Glory!” n See page 8–9 for full responses

At Tuesday’s meeting, Councillors discussed and then passed a motion to give Orange 360 an additional $100,000 to do a marketing campaign to encourage visitors to come and stay in Orange midweek. During the discussion one question that should have been asked wasn’t, another that was asked seemed to suggest the Councillor hadn’t thought the matter through, and another question/comment suggested at least one Councillor doesn’t fully appreciate how spending ratepayers money should work. The question that should have been asked was “what are the chances of encouraging people to come to Orange midweek in the first place, who might this type of person be, and what would they do when here, that they couldn’t do on the weekend?” The question that was asked about how the $100,000 would be spent and wasn’t thought through was, “All local contractors will be contracted to do this work?” What local contractors? It seems to me the marketing campaign will all be spent outside Orange on social and other media platforms. Finally, the half question/ half comment by another Councillor that should raise serious questions among ratepayers was “Is (the $100,000) in the budget, but if not, the skill of our accountants can certainly find it.” This after several other ad hoc commitments recently where money appeared not to have been budgeted for. Why do we have a budget, I ask? If anyone thinks raising questions like this is unhelpful or unfair, tell me! Just on that, one Councillor Newswatch contacted this week claimed I didn’t know how Council works. Maybe not, but I know how it should work.
VERY BRIEFLY…

Very briefly… “PIXIE ROURKE”
visitors coming to Orange via the airport get of the Apple City. “I’ve been onto Council for ages about the condition of it, it’s a terrible look,” a longtime user of the road said resignedly.
BUFFETS GOING THE WAY OF ASH-TRAYS
The Qantas turboprop that landed on Orange’s maiden service bore the intriguing name “Pixie Rourke” stencilled under the port-side cockpit window. Research indicated that this plane is in fact only the second Qantas plane to be named after an individual (the first being an Airbus A380, named after “aviatrix” — female aviator— Nancy Bird-Walton.) Pixie Rourke was the legendary Lord Howe Island identity who, for more than 35 years, ran the Pinetrees accommodation facility before her death in 2010. A special ceremony on the island was held for the naming of the plane soon-after by Qantas.
FLYING SUPER MARIO
Big welcome for The Flying Kangaroo’s first flight to Orange as part of their new service on Monday saw local caterers providing eats (a delicious shortbread biscuit, a sweet baked apple tart, and an eggplant quiche), in natty, self-contained, COVID-free, cellophane topped, cardboard boxes. Our correspondent asked if reporters were allowed to partake of one of the last of the three remaining packages, just as another attendee rushed-up and quickly grabbed the other two! Just shows, it takes more than a worldwide pandemic to put a journo off a free-feed…
A reader suggested that ratepayers may better understand the specific interests and expertise of individual Orange councillors if they knew their “real” jobs.
“It was a very good flight, it went very well,” he added.
GATEWAY TO THE GOLDEN WEST
Driving-out to the first hop-over for Qantas, our correspondent couldn’t help but notice a strange and unsettling rattling coming from his car as he headed up-past Bloomfield to the Airport. Nothing to worry about, one of the other attendees assured him, just the usual state of Huntley Road, the first impression that
BUDGET SURPLUS
AC/DC-ED
Official welcomes with platters of sweet and savoury foods laid-out with artistic delight — always highly-popular with gluttonous media types — may be a thing of the past.
SKILL SETS
One of the unusual passengers on the first Qantas flight was a genuine Super Mario fluffy toy being escorted by his new owner, Ashish Thapu. “I won it in Canberra, I don’t really know what I’m going to do with it,” Thapu said.
DESIGNER FACE-MASKS OH-SO 2020!
“It might be helpful to the community to list the occupations and qualifications of all councillors so that we may better understand their skill sets,” ratepayer Jeff Rogers offered.
COIN-OP TROLLIES
So it has come to this… protective designer face-masks for the fashionable and coronavirus-conscious hipster. Styles include tie-dyed, tartan, a Hannibal Lector-style full-face covering and, most unnerving of all, clear-window face-masks to show your smiling pearlywhites while also avoiding the deadly COVID-19. Is it possible that talent agencies are now seeking “mask models” — people that look attractive from the nose-up only? Or, perhaps, they just use just normally-good looking people and put masks on them…
NORTHERN DISTRIBUTOR WORK ROLLS-ON…
“All, absolutely all shops in Orange should have coin-operated trollies, they’re the only ones that get returned, it’s that simple,” the bug-beared passionate lifetime local — whose number-plate on his car reads simply “Orange” — added.
The mugs were designed to celebrate the return to national surplus for the first time in more than a decade with the name coming from the famous 1980 AC/DC album, “Back in Black”. Black, of course, is the colour for surpluses in financial tables, while “being in the red” showed accounts and figures that were in debit…
JOBKEEPER STILL KEEPING-ON The Australian Government’s decision to extend Job Keeper beyond September has been welcomed by a number of charity groups. “Job Keeper payments have saved lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. Without it we would have seen severe stress and suicidal risk across the country,” Lifeline Australia Chairman, John Brogden, said.
Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd took a shine to last week’s opinion piece on the social effects of shopping trollies being dumped throughout the Apple City. Describing the problem as one of his personal “bug-bears”, he suggested a “photo and name” strategy to shame peripatetic shoppers who dump shopping carts on public land, in creeks, and on footpaths.
The coronavirus-led turmoil currently destroying national budgets and economies has claimed the slightlypremature Liberal Party “Back in Black” mugs.
Work continues apace at the major roundabout and road detour project at the intersection of Hill St and the northern distributor. The $5 million project will see a major roundabout constructed at the site near the Botanic Gardens. The project has seen Hill Street closed to the Northern Distributor for some months already.
| Saturday 25 July, 2020 |
“Back in March, Lifeline welcomed the Australian Government’s speedy introduction of Job Keeper supports because we knew COVID-19 restrictions would significantly impact the mental health of Australians. Today we welcome the government extending the Job Keeper payment to provide financial stability for those who most need it.” “These changes will provide stability for many Australians. Despite the unpredictable nature of the virus and its restrictions, their financial stability and security will be protected.” he said.

A number of CBD businesses say that this could drain shoppers away from the main street just as was proven with the North Orange development a decade ago.
“I’m not going to form a view until I see all the submissions; I don’t form opinions until I have seen all the submissions,” he said. Prepared to show opposition to the amendment, Cr Kevin Duffy said: “My view is we should put it on hold.

A group of local retailers believe that allowing a large multi-store complex to be built in south Orange would simply be another “nail in the coffin” for Orange’s Central business district. The businesses said that current approval for the site only allows for a small handful of boutique shops servicing the motel complex attached to the new hospital with an amendment for the larger shopping precinct now before Council.

“We’re pretty much the dominant regional carrier now,” QantasLink Chief Operating Officer, Andrew Monaghan said.
“How fantastic is it that Qantas is flying to Orange? All these smiles, all these experiences, I can’t help but smile,” she added. She said that the event had been made “really special” by former local and cabin crew member, Damien Livermore, who made a short speech about the importance of the flight to him personally. “It was very emotional, we were all very touched,” she added.
“We’ve got 50 turboprop planes servicing NSW, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania… pretty much everywhere in regional Australia,” he added.
“He was almost in tears, it was so nice, we were all so happy.”
While COVID-19 lockdowns had delayed implementation of the 36-seater service, demand had been the ultimate driver of a commercial businesses decision, Mr Monaghan said. “We had plans for coming a few months ago, but COVID got in the way. We’re starting small at three times a week and see how we go,” he explained.
“It’s in one of the next rounds for major work; we’re looking at it right now as we speak,” he said.

“It shows the confidence in our economy that Qantas wants to serve our city; it’s a real endorsement for Orange,” he added.
“There’s a number of criteria that we looked at, but ultimately we are looking at demand, we wouldn’t be here without the demand,” he added.

East Orange local Mitch Jones asking if “Duration Cottages” have any real historical importance?
EAST ORANGE LOCALS OPPOSE COUNCIL’S “Duration Cottage” heritage listings Enthusiastic east Orange local Mitch Jones wants to know, if something is old, does that in itself make it of historical importance? buildings and zones in Orange is recommending:
He believes that large parts of his suburb proposed for inclusion by Orange City Council in newly-expanded heritage zones are in danger of making the area unliveable.
• an expansion of the city’s existing heritage zones • the creation of three new heritage zones in areas which weren’t listed before
Planning to renovate one of the “Duration Cottages” in Brunswick St, he said that a letter from Orange City Council proposing its inclusion under the new orders dropped on him and his partner “like a bomb.” “The first I heard of it was when we got a letter three weeks ago saying that Council was trying to make the area heritagelisted,” he said.
• adding an extra thirty-six individual houses to be added to list of the local heritage-listed homes. n Orange’s “Duration Cottages” were designed to last the duration of World War II, but how historic are they?
The so-called “Duration Cottages” were constructed during World War II (1939–45) as cheap, easily-built accommodation designed only to last the duration of the war mostly for munitions workers or others in essential industries. But are these curiosities of the past in themselves significant? n Resident Peter Baker said he had known little of the proposed amendments until told by a neighbour.
“They were built as temporary accommodation, why would temporary accommodation then be historic now?”
“We’re planning some pretty major extensions, they’ve only got two little bedrooms, they’re not a liveable dwelling,” he said. “The kitchen is tiny, you can’t cook in it it’s that small, and we’ve got a little two-year-old running around with nowhere to play on wet days,” he said. He believes that the heritage orders could make his attempts to renovate and sell the property untenable. “The only way to sell it is to renovate it, and if you can’t renovate it, it won’t sell,” he said. “People want to renovate it and pick the pace up, if they can’t do that, they’ll get out,” he said. Any discussion about the newly-expanded heritage zones should be put on hold until the coronavirus crisis is over, he believes. As a mine contractor working seven days, he says he simply hasn’t got time to make submission to council and attend meetings at the present. “I haven’t got time to do anything, this is the first day off in a couple of weeks. They need to put it off to give everyone a bit of time; there’s been no community awareness around
“Orange has a brilliant collection of heritage houses and this Heritage Study is part of the foundations of our local planning controls. These are the tools the community can use to make sure these homes and heritage zones are protected,” Cr Reg Kidd said. “Our last heritage study was done in 2012, so it’s important that these tools are kept up to date.
“Most people know their history, but how many care about that history?” Mr Jones asked.
He said that the tiny-two-bedroom homes are no longer fit for purpose in 2020 and that efforts by himself and other locals to renovate them are an effort to save the suburb from ultimate destruction by neglect.
Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said that it’s important for local residents to be aware of the proposed changes to Orange’s heritage conservation arrangements.
here at all of this,” he believes. “I’ve been here with my partner 5–6 years, and the first I heard of it was the letter,” he added. He said that, in attempting to save the area for the future, Council is likely to end-up destroying it for any fit purpose. “If Council wants to leave it in the stone-age, it will go back to a slum,” he said. Next door neighbour Peter Baker agreed that he had known little of the proposed amendments until told by another resident.
“It’s also important that the community understand what they mean and how it could affect local properties. Now’s the time for people to have their say.” The Heritage Study Review was drafted after a range of submissions from the community along with members of the Council’s Cultural Heritage Committee and others who attended workshops last year. The draft study has now been placed on exhibition for community comment. The proposal also includes a change to the names of the current heritage conservation areas so that they can more clearly reflect local history. No changes are recommended to the Lucknow and Spring Hill heritage conservation areas. The proposed heritage conservation areas to be re-named and expanded would be:
Dalton – the former central conservation area, East Orange heritage conservation area, “I didn’t get a letter, the first I heard of it from the next-door Bowen – the former southern portion of the East Orange Area, neighbour,” he explained. an expanded Glenroi Duration Cottages heritage He agrees that a heritage order restricting renovations conservation area, and new heritage conservation areas for could simply be a death-knell for the suburb. “I think they Newman Park, Blackmans Swamp and Bletchington. should be able to tidy them right up.

Twenty-one-year-old Rhys, from Wagga Wagga, is the fourth CSU engineering student to undertake a cadetship at Council, following in the footsteps of Lucknow’s Mitchell Beasley and Bathurst’s Georgina Wills and Jacob Tuxford. While the CSU course has only been running since 2016, it has already gained international recognition as an emerging leader in engineering education. The course is unique in that its students spend just three semesters, or 18 months, learning on-campus followed by four years of full-time paid work placement. Orange City Council is a foundation industry partner of the course with Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd excited to see the partnership with CSU offering the next generation of young engineers the ability to live and learn in regional NSW.

RETAIL RECOVERY Orange City Council is putting up $50,000 to help kick start the local economy.
“It’s great to see these world-class educational opportunities being offered in our region,” Cr Kidd said. “This program will provide a huge boost to the regional workforce,
as well as addressing the skills shortage in rural areas.” Council’s cadets are placed with mentors in different sections of the Technical Services department each year of their work placement, starting with water and sewer and moving on to roads and transport, design and major projects. The students do not have to spend their whole work placement with one employer, however water and sewer engineer and Rhys’ mentor Josh Barnes says, so far, they have all chosen to stay on at Council because of the wide range of experience they receive. “It gives the young engineers a good overview of what engineering encompasses and knowledge of a range of projects,” Josh Barnes said. Though he has not decided which direction his career will take in future, Rhys says the variety of work is one of the reasons he applied for a cadetship at Orange City Council. “I’m still in the early stages of my career. With civil engineering, there are lots of different areas of expertise so I’m getting a feel for it,” Rhys Nicholson said. “I also like the area, Orange is a beautiful city and the council is very supportive.”

WIRADJURI ASTRONOMY PUSH FOR PLANETARIUM PROPOSAL FASCINATING WORLD OF “INDIGENOUS ASTRONOMY” SHOULD “ABSOLUTELY” BE INTEGRATED INTO THE NEW PLANETARIUM PROJECT PLANNED FOR ORANGE CIVIC CENTRE’S NORTH-COURT, A LOCAL ASTRONOMER BELIEVES. With the new planetarium will be a domed-roofed facility with a diameter of 11 meters which will be attached to the new Conservatorium of Music for Orange as part of an innovative proposed $20 million development. “Absolutely it could be integrated into the new planetarium,” Trevor Leaman — whose passion for aboriginal star-gazing was ignited while working at the Ayres Rock Observatory (Uluru) — strongly believes. Mr Leaman is currently completing a PhD in Wiradjuri astronomy. “Local Indigenous Wiradjuri astronomers could provide a fascinating focus on the importance of astronomy to their society,” he added. While much is known about Dreamtime legends involving celestial bodies and their origins, Indigenous night-watching also played a central role in their understanding of the seasons and the lifecycles of the species which they hunted. “Certain appearances of stars would indicate to them to move from winter to summer camps, or for animal migration and hunting.
also supported the indigenous astronomy proposal saying: “It’s a fantastic idea.” A keen star-watcher himself with a startracking app on his mobile phone, he added: “I’ll be one of the first one out to have a look at it,” he added. Planetariums are not observatories with telescopes and other night-watching equipment, but are generally domes whose internal ceiling has stars, planets, and other celestial bodies projected onto it for viewing and education n Trevor Leaman is currently completing a PhD in Wiradjuri astronomy. determine weather patterns and changes, he explained. “Some of the stars that appear orange or red to us on a good clear night can wash out if there’s a lot of moisture up there in the atmosphere,” said Trevor. “Water vapour in the atmosphere absorbs more strongly in the red than in the blue end of the spectrum, so when you see normally reddish orange stars looking a bit pale almost turning to the whitish colour then there is a lot of moisture up there and that can indicate there is a storm front coming.”
...Local Indigenous Wiradjuri Astronomers could provide a fascinating focus on the importance of astronomy to their society...
“When you see a particular star in the sky at night that means that this animal is breeding that plant is flowering, this type of fish is available on the coast, or this migration is happening.”
Through his business, Dark Skies Down Under, he educates and informs modern Australians of the many facets in this fascinating both very-new and very-old field of astronomy.

The planetarium proposal — with $10 million funding already tagged by the Federal Government and $5 million from Council — follows two decades passionate advocacy for Orange Planetarium Inc President, Rod Somerville. “I’ve been doing this for many decades. In both the personal and in terms of the project, I’ve been at this now for more than 16 years,” Mr Somerville said. “I was certainly excited about it, though we have got quite a way to go,” he said. He said that the Orange facility will incorporate world-class software technology making it the most advanced facility in Australia.
“Living green wall” for new north-court facility A living and unique “green wall” is one of the special features of the proposed conservatorium/ planetarium project that also incorporates: • a 250-seat auditorium (with capacity built in for additional 48 seats or additional stage), • a 74-seat planetarium auditorium, • 40 practice studios and rehearsal spaces, • front and back of house facilities including main lobby, bar and kitchen,
“Planetariums are designed to simulate the night-sky, but traditionally they used projectors… the four current planetariums in Australia all use projectors,” he explained.
• office space, amenities and ancillary spaces.
Western NSW has some of the best viewing skies in the world with Mr Somerville rating the outskirts of town as a seven out of ten in viewing clarity.
The proposal for the living green wall as a part of the conservatorium project came from the building’s designers, Brewster Hjorth Architects.
Mr Somerville also has a background with the Ayres Rock Observatory helpingestablish facility in the early 1990s. He believes that this new facility will create the same sort of tourist potential for Orange. “It’s going to be a fantastic facility; the planetarium is the unique thing. It will bring people into town and they will stop for a day or two longer,” he concluded.

The “living green wall” will wrap-around the planetarium’s domed perimeter by “integrating landscape” into the building design.
This design feature has been used in recent years on contemporary buildings with research pointing to the positive impact of vertical gardens in lowering ambient temperature and even reducing noise. By covering otherwise bland surfaces such as the dome, this innovation can also reduce opportunities for vandalism. A number of high-profile buildings recently constructed in Sydney have included living green walls including at Broadway in central Sydney.

This Committee brings information to Council and takes information from the Council to industry; • A number of civil projects engaging both Council and contractors are going-on around the city to allow cash to flow back into the shops; • We’re facilitating the information flow from various sources on free business improvement training via webinars, and more, to the Chamber and other peak organisations for distribution to their Orange members; • We’ve created and publicised a Business Directory on the Council website: (https://www.orange.nsw.gov.au/businessdirectory/) that gives businesses a chance to readily-amend their trading hours or situation without having to go to the expense of changing their own website. This helps local residents find businesses that are open. There are currently 331 listings on the site. There are also business resources where businesses can readily access information to help them through the COVID restrictions. • We’ve joined with other Central NSW Joint Organisation Councils to conduct a digital campaign titled “We want you back” to encourage people to travel to the region and stimulating the local spend; • We’re working with the Regional Development Australia on a CBD mapping project that will help inform us of changes to the business mix in the CBD over-time; • The Federal Government has given Council a grant of $720,809 to bring forward projects to get cash circulating in the economy; • Council is trying to bring forward as many projects as possible with local suppliers and contractors to get the money flowing in the economy; • Working with a number of companies to relocate or establish here (Until the companies make their own announcements, the details are commercial-in-confidence); • We routinely work with local organisations to help them secure grants; • The $50,000 Shop Orange give-away to inject funds into the retail sector; • The $50,000 club membership support program to assist sporting organisations through COVID 19; • Between 21 May and 25 June, council staff approved more than $9 million in development applications; • Council has just let a more-than $800,000 tender to a local company to build the new depot building; • The continuing financial assistance of Orange 360 that supports the regional visitor economy worth more than $300m annually and employs more than 6000 local residents; • Qantas has started a service here following negotiations with Council. In addition, we have managed through COVID-19 to find useful employment under-pressure for 550 staff and, thus, their families.
I appreciate the opportunity to provide “Orange City Life Newswatch” readers and the residents of Orange — my community — with some inside knowledge of how things really are behind the scenes in your council. I was elected in 2012 and am proud to be representing my community as Councillor. I think the people of Orange deserve to know the honest facts regarding just how local government, staff, and councillors work to serve you. Firstly, I would like to say I understand Bob Holland’s comments; because I hear similar things often. While I agree with some of his comments regarding promoting more business-minded councillors, the nature of our democracy allows for individuals with a wide range of skills; not just business ones. Having 12 councillors with varied backgrounds provides for healthy debate and discussion. Now, as with any grouping of individuals, you will naturally have some conflict. This conflict can be sometimes difficult as different Councillors have their own objectives, ideas, moral values, depth-of-character, fortitude, personal backgrounds, agendas, and ability to express their views on all types of issues. Each of us may have a specific issue to raise after being approached by members of the public. We have little time each to convey these concerns within each meeting but we do our best to allow equal time for each councillor to put forward their point of view. My assertion is, we are trying to get the job done and what may be perceived as conflict by others, is simply a matter of course. There are many processes and

procedures that are never seen by members of public, such as community conversation, assessment of priorities, conferring with staff, DA approvals, studying the Council paperwork, and sometimes dealing with public discord on some items and debate on important community issues.
and confidence in, our Councillors leading to productive dialogue with Councillors and staff.
While it may seem some councillors possess a selfpromoting style ( quite common) such a persona can be a benefit to encourage vigorous debate about issues important to that individual and it’s just part of local politics. The public will see this and judge if it is a good thing or not.
As a community representative, you are sometimes challenged by the detractors, or naysayers. I try not to let them worry me because it’s the person that has “had a go” and fallen that can really appreciate the feeling of being triumphant. It is easy to succumb to despondency, but the successes make it all worthwhile.
Over my time as a councillor, I have seen so much good work done by particular councillors, and especially staff, and it’s so rewarding to see good outcomes and successes regarding Government funding for community projects. Additionally, it’s very rewarding to be able to help a member of the public with a Council or personal problem and even nicer when this is acknowledged. Our staff are professional and efficient because, as you would expect, the directors and staff are the engine of Council. These individuals provide assistance to your councillors. This is where the conscientious and frugal councillor goes first for assistance and quantifies the best information regarding Council procedures, Government legislation, and conduct. This is the place councillors can respectfully-challenge staff opinions and evaluate the facts of a particular issue. Such background work helps give depth and confidence when in a debate because, as we know, knowledge is power. From such interactions, a councillor can put a motion in Council meetings to adopt changes — following Government legislation and local government roles. I respect the naysayers, for they have little knowledge of the background work that is required, and this is the reason I am committed to do whatever I can do to provide information that will facilitate understanding of,
At the end of the day, only councillors and Council staff can truly know the feeling of a successful outcome or the feeling of defeat after all the work that goes on behind the scene.
In response to Mr Holland’s assertion, please note, be under no illusion, it takes more guts than many think to be a councillor. As a councillor, you take a terrible lot of pressure. Everything you do as councillor is scrutinised. One must be respectful and listen empathetically and, while, talking to ratepayers and responding to complaints can be laborious, it has helped me to understand and to do my best efforts to improve outcomes for the future of Orange and the people that love our City. As a Councillor, I think it is my moral and ethical obligation to show leadership and open-up some productive dialogue with any member of my community that feels that they might like to understand more-deeply the inner-workings of our Council. To this end, I extend an invitation to anyone who would like to have a cohesive professional and sensible conversation, to contact your councillors and staff. Every business and government organisation has the potential to improve service delivery. The ratepayers of Orange can be assured that, your Council is listening and doing its best to serve you. I hope that these words might reinforce confidence and a sense of understanding to those who feel a need to criticise and try to diminish the great value of the local government system, because our democracy is so important to maintain and protect. — I’m at your service, Cr Scott Munro

S, NO GLORY! VARIED RESPONSES TO COUNCIL CRITICISM
E S ON P S RE
Democracy being what it is; there was a varied and diverse response from Orange’s elected councillors to “Orange City Life Newswatch” publisher Bob Holland’s recent “No Guts, no Glory!” feature detailing what he believes are the major shortcomings of local government in the Colour City. The article suggested that Orange Council runs a risk-averse business strategy based on piece-meal and uncoordinated strategies while ignoring major opportunities like the further development of Lake Canobolas and Mt Canobolas. Councillor Scott Munro provided a written response, (see opposing page); while other councillors’ responses are summarised below. Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd, agreed with Mr Holland on one point, saying that: “Council is a big business with 500-odd staff ” but that “anybody has a right to criticise, but it’s better to be part of the solution,” he added. “Council is like the Police, no-one likes the Police when they’ve got a fine or a ticket, but they ring the Police when they’ve been robbed or burgled.” He believes that an outsider’s views that Council meetings are unproductive talkfests, ignored the nature of the committee system. “We’re like any organisation, the Chamber of Commerce or ‘Put Orange First’, we’ve all got the same purpose, but we all have a variety of views on how we get there.
Orange Council to a business was too simplistic: “I think there’s lots of different layers to Council that makes it a very complex organisation… Council’s a different beast.”
“We’re not exactly a private business, we’ve got to do what’s good for the community. It’s a bit of a balancing act that you don’t have in private business.
“With experience as a business owner, I “On Council, everything is up for debate, can say that the role of councillor is very that’s just how we are run.” different from a business owner’s… it’s a very Orange Deputy challenging and different environment.” Mayor, Councillor Cr McRae said that the complex and Sam Romano agreed seemingly-cumbersome approvals process with much of the for much local government decision-making sentiment in the were all elements of a service-providing “No Guts, No Glory!” organisation with a plurality of stakeholders. feature. “Council should be run as a business. Cr Stephen Nugent The money we spend is ratepayers’ money opined that while and we need to be mindful of how we spend Council has many that money. attributes of a business, it doesn’t have the freedom to operate as a profit-driven organisation with all decisions having to be run through the filter of current Government policy and rules: “On the whole, I think that Council does a pretty good job. I think that it is like a business within the constraints of being a publiclyfunded body.” “I’ve observed Orange Council staff continuously reviewing what they’re doing within the constraints of Government regulation as they go along.
“We have a number of people at meetings “It is the nature of the beast. They have and they’re all entitled to a democratic right public liability and a level of risk-assessment to speak,” he said. “I’m one of the few Manly that other businesses (Warringah) supporters in Orange, so I know are not asked to operate what’s it’s like to be the under,” he added. odd one-out,” he said. Councillor Joanne McRae said that comparing a government organisation like

Councillor Mario Previteri said that the “No Guts, No Glory” feature made: “some good points, but it’s not
“If we’re going to spend a dollar, we’ve got to look at a $2 return. We’ve got to ask, ‘what’s it going to attract?’ We’ve got to treat it as what’s best for the economy,” he said. Cr Glenn Taylor said of the feature: “I did read it but, what can I say? That’s life. I can’t agree with it though. I think we’re doing a pretty good job under extenuating circumstances. We’ve put a lot of work into addressing the COVID situation.” People’s expectations of what Council’s role is has, he believes, expanded far more dramatically than their funding. Many who criticise Council should remember that it was “not a one-stop shop to fix the problems of the world,”. “Council’s changed in the last 20… there is a lot more expected of Council now,” he said. Asked if Council was a business like any other, he added: “Yes and No, we have got a

budget to work towards... but we’re trying to have a more measured approach.” He said though that Orange Council is vastly-more dynamic in its financial dealings now than in the past.
...I’ve been there 25-years and have supported a number of entrepreneurial schemes throughout that time... “I’ve been there 25-years and have supported a number of entrepreneurial schemes throughout that time. Council would be a lot more entrepreneurial now.” He pointed to Council’s purchase of the old Base Hospital — now the site for the part-built future headquarters for the State Department of Primary Industries — as an example of this new dynamism. “We took a bold move and purchased it and sold part of it to the State Government for the new DPI, and we’re now sitting-on $3 million profit,” he said proudly. Cr Russell Turner said that the basic premise of “No Guts No Glory” that Council should be run like a business contained a lot of merit: “I agree with that aspect. It is the biggest business in Orange and the councillors are the Board. “We are the Board and the Mayor is the Chairman. Some of the councillors don’t seem to understand that fact with their comments and don’t understand their responsibilities.” “In that regard, the comments are correct,” Cr Turner said.

ORWELLIAN TRUTHS I was quite horrified to see a sign in the Black Lives Matter (as if all others don’t!?) demonstration in Melbourne saying “Mace a Cop. Call it Peppa Pig.” If that’s not inciting violence, I don’t know what is! While cops need to be kept accountable, and corrupt cops accounted for, it’s mostly good people who become cops for the right reasons. Sure, some lose their way, and they should be weeded rigourously. But “Mace a cop?” Why are police turning a blind eye? Shouldn’t arrests be made over this? It’s not even poetic licence! However it seems that anyone’s allowed to say what they want, incite others to violence, and as has happened overseas, “demonstrate their violence” by smashing windows, looting, and setting fire to small businesses – yes, even black ones, so long as it’s done under the banner of “black lives matter,” very often by white people! There are no consequences. Whatever happened to RESPECT? The Black Lives Matter movement certainly have none for those black people whose businesses they’re trashing. It was commendable to see restoration in humanity though, when many people, black, white and brindle, turned up the next day to help those businesses clean up the rotten mess that other disrespectful, lawless, plundering vandals made in the name of black lives mattering. I think ALL LIVES MATTER, and nothing will be accomplished so long as people carry on like this. Of course, scratch the surface, and one will find that the ANTIFA movement isn’t about black lives at all. Sadly, many get sucked in to think it is, and go to demonstrate on the face of it. I’ve been reading up on this a bit, and likely there are many things tied to this cashed up Marxist group (thanks mostly to George Soros it appears). Leaders admit they’re trained Marxists. Certainly their actions show them up to be fascists, rather than the “anti-fascists” they purport to be. Many are fully masked so they can’t be recognised; very often white, and incite violence, terrorising ordinary folk and small business-people, regardless of whether they’re black or white. There are many black people in America who say that Trump has done more for them in terms of employment, health and benefits since coming to office than have Presidents for decades, including Obama. Many young black people are speaking out, and one I accidentally came across who really expresses herself well with structured reasoned arguments is Candace Owens, who unwittingly

after all. Antifa could be part of the muddying, using many innocent and well-meaning people to advance A cause that’s not really THE cause.
...I think ALL LIVES MATTER, and nothing will be accomplished so long as people carry on like this... ended up heading the “Blexit” movement. She was a Liberal leftist, a Democrat who thought Republicans were racists, yet she has done a complete about-turn. She is eloquent, and worth a google, but says she now realises that Democrat laws have actually impacted minority communities negatively. I can’t remember any Western President or other leader who has been totally hounded by those who will not accept an election result. Trump has to be the personality he is in order to handle it. Who would want to cope with that? Yet, he has many supporters, was smart enough to get elected without the media on side, and had the economy “comparatively” booming economically until the virus hit. He’s the only President in the last few decades who got elected with his own money, so has no Big Finance, Big Pharma, Big Media or Big Corporates “owed.” Interestingly, one of the very first things Trump did after he came to office was to start an investigation to combat human trafficking and sex slavery. More and more is coming out about this sordid industry. There are some big names caught up in it, so it would need very strategic handling. Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are just the tip of the iceberg, and with Prince Andrew being implicated there are a LOT of big moneyed people, politicians, judges, cops and corporate heads NOT wanting these things to come out. Much better to keep their sexoffending and other crimes secret. Muddying the waters to ensure Trump doesn’t get elected again soon becomes something that $billions might be thrown at to protect reputations. It may be as clear as mud,
Global media, in the hands of only a few big players, may be giving us the wrong information, causing us to be frightened of a man-made flu that many Doctors are saying is easily treated, especially early. (Search for Dr Richard Bartlett interviewed on “America Can We Talk”). We don’t know if the man-made virus escaped accidentally or deliberately yet. The WHO and Big Pharma who stand to gain a lot making vaccines that governments will buy, also may not want us to know that a lot of well-qualified Doctors say COVID’s curable. All this social media and google “fact-checking” by the non-qualified disallowing you and I information to make up our own minds is proof of that! Global Banks or finance houses may be very happy to have Governments spend $squillions, because they will then “own” governments (as if they don’t already!). Taxpayers the world over will have to produce increased taxes to pay interest to banks, and banks will get fat on all the mortgages they call in and re-sell. Never mind the suicide trail – that’s not their problem. We need to be SO mindful and protective of our own Common Law freedom, as opposed to the “rights” that our humanist governments full of UN humanist law now dictate. I found this fighting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child many years ago, where children’s rights over-ride a parent’s right to actually protect their child. A child has a right to speak to a paedophile and parents can do nothing. Parents now can’t be trusted to know what is good for their child… the government must dictate as though it’s a child of the State. UN terms in Conventions and Treaties often mean the totally opposite of what you think they mean. We’d do well to remember George Orwell’s warning – the Ministry of Truth = Ministry of Lies and Propaganda; the Ministry of Peace = the Ministry of War; Ministry of Plenty = Starvation; and Love = Torture. Perhaps we need, in our world governed by so many “humanist” UN conventions now over-riding our Christian-based Constitution (giving us free-will), to temper our listening, reading and deciphering of news with a good dose of this “reverse-speak” understanding.

BOOM VISITOR NUMBERS DURING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS Boom in visitor numbers for Orange region during the recent school holidays was another sign that Australians have “rediscovered their own backyards”, Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd believes.
“That is approximately a 47 per cent increase; the only day under 550 people through the door was for the last day of the holidays, Sunday July 19 when it slackened off in the afternoon,” Mr Reeder said.
The surge was best-illustrated by “fantastic” tourist numbers recorded at Orange Visitor Information Centre and in web traffic for local sites.
Sales were also up for souvenirs and local products for the same period. “In 2020, we took $11,050 compared to last year’s $7593. That is approximately an increase of $3,457,” Mr Reeder added.
“There’s no doubt that people are rediscovering their own backyards, rediscovering all the attractions that country Australia has to offer,” Cr Kidd enthused. “They are finding what wonderful things are in their own backyard.” Orange Visitor Centre numbers during the school holidays support the Mayor’s observations, with numbers up by thousands compared to last year, Council Communications Officer, Allan Reeder said. For the July school holidays, the numbers through the Information Centre from Saturday July 4 until Sunday July 19 were 9578 compared to 6502 visitors in 2019.
He said that the tourism growth numbers from online were also impressive: “This month had the highest monthly traffic on the Orange 360 website since its launch,” he said. “This was a significant increase on the previous month with a 42 per cent increase in users and a 95 per cent increase in page views from the same period last year. “We are also experiencing continued improved referral from Instagram. We have now reached 10,000 followers this is allowing us to unlock further benefits and aim to drive improved referral to the website,” Mr Reeder concluded.

From a humble storefront selling second-hand furniture, the business has grown and expanded to become one of the premier furniture showrooms of the Central West, which is why we’ve chosen Bobledyk’s Furniture One for this week’s Roll of Honour. It was in 1966, that John and Henny Bobledyk bought a small second-hand store in Anson St off Frank Smolle. John and Henny had emigrated to Australia from Holland 15 years earlier looking to build a better life after the devastation Europe suffered following the Second World War. From working in local orchards, the family had run bakeries at Spring Hill and Millthorpe before relocating to Orange and moving into the furniture business. “It was just a second-hand furniture business to start off with and, over the years it sort of morphed into new furniture,” said Arthur Bobledyk, who joined the family business after leaving school. Today, Bobledyk’s Furniture One is owned and operated by Arthur, his wife Linda, his sister Henny and her husband Graham. “The business moved into a building which my father built in 1975 at 107 Byng Street — it was an icon in those days known as the shop with ‘the round window’. It was still predominately second-hand but also upstairs we had some new, budget furniture.” In 2000, the Bobledyk’s moved into their current premises in Endsleigh Avenue and
from there, the business has gone from strength to strength. “That was the big change. Then in 2001 the Furniture One group knocked on the door and asked if we would become part of their organisation, their buying group and from that point the business really started to expand as we had access to other companies that we didn’t have access to prior to joining that buying group. In 2005, the Bobledyks attracted the attention of La-Z-Boy, who approached about becoming their first La-Z-Boy furniture gallery in NSW. “Then in 2011, Stressless approached us to have their furniture on the floor too so we’ve ended up with a huge gallery on the floor and we’ve also got our dedicated bedding department, so over the time it has just grown and grown,” said Arthur. “From our humble beginnings selling second hand stuff and then budget stuff, the things we are selling today — Stressless and from our humble beginnings selling second hand stuff and then budget stuff, the things we are selling today Stressless and La-Z-Boy — years ago we could have only dreamed of
Newswatch is proud to add this spectacular local business in our Roll of Honour. selling these products!” The change in variety and quality of products they sell has also been a reflection of the growing affluence of Orange and the district, Arthur said. Having family own and run the day-to-day operation of the store has its advantages, and Bobledyk’s Furniture One are particular about maintaining a high level of customer service. “One of our strengths is we are able to give people time,” said Arthur. “We are not trying to rush someone into a sale quickly; we are making sure that they are happy with what they buy and that it is the right thing for them as best as we can.” “And we give people personal service,” said Henny, who will even visit people’s homes to help with choices.

“Some people can’t pick a fabric or don’t know what colours… So, I go into their homes and have a look and I give them some ideas of what they could do,” she said. “And if there is any issue, we personally go to the house and check out what it is.” And all the furniture is carefully and personally selected to ensure customers get a quality product. “When a furniture show is on, we actually go and try the product, so sometimes we reject stuff, because it just doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t sit right or the quality is not there,” said Arthur. “What we sell, we want to make sure that it does feel right, that people get what they want and aren’t going to be disappointed.”
Something light in uncertain times…

If music be the food of love; let singing icecream cones play on! That 1920s dance hall classic, “You Scream, I Scream, We all Scream for Icecream” has come full circle with a new invention — wait for it — the icecream cone that sings to you! Researchers from Melbourne’s Monash University and RMIT have developed “WeScream!”, a sensory icecream cone that plays different sounds when eating icecream, adding a multisensory layer to the ice-confection experience. “You don’t actually eat the singing cone,” a spokesperson for the project assured “Newswatch.” “You put your icecream cone into the singing cone and it plays tunes as you eat,” the spokesperson explained. “It plays a series of musical notes, various small pieces of classical music and the like, but it does have the ability to have other tunes uploaded.” In case you’re concerned about having your next Dairy Maid icecream start warbling to you, she added: “the prototype is not yet commercialised”. Celebrating World Icecream Day (July 19), this fun piece of frippery, was designed under Project lead, Professor
Florian ‘Floyd’ Mueller, Director of the Exertion Games Lab in Monash University’s Faculty of Information Technology (IT) who said the technology encourages playful social eating experiences. WeScream! offers a digital upgrade through sound that stimulates both happiness and playfulness, he explained. The technology is designed to act as an additional component or ‘ingredient’ to the dessert, enhancing the sensory experience and intriguing hospitality groups along the way, he added. The technology combines human-computer interaction technology and consists of two interdependent 3-D printed icecream cones that allow users to interact with musical sounds or their preferred playlist which is generated through the act of eating ice cream together. “Our research found that WeScream! facilitated an enjoyable experience for participants eating together, whilst also increasing their awareness and attention to the taste of the ice cream,” Professor Mueller said. “Along the way, we have also sparked the interest of chefs and mixologists who are looking for innovative and exciting ways to enhance the dining experience for their customers. The technology is relatively affordable to create and we
hope to see WeScream! making an appearance in the hospitality industry relatively soon,” he promised. During the study, researchers examined how 10 participants experienced the different auditory interactions made possible by their eating habits. The system generated multiple sounds by connecting the act of eating and listening as part of a social multisensory experience. Exertion Games Lab PhD Candidate, Yan Wang, explained how physical sensations associated with eating, combined with digital technology, can enhance everyday eating practices. “WeScream! offers the characteristics of gameplay where participants can explore different musical sounds or create a steady flow of sounds through the act of eating ice cream. We believe our work will not only help game developers design playful experiences around food but also encourage food designers and chefs to incorporate interactive technology into their practices,” he said. The researchers hope this playful approach to technology will positively enhance sensory dining and drinking experiences. The WeScream! research paper was published at the 2020 Designing Interactive Systems Conference and won a Best Paper Honourable Mention award.
SMILING “FACES” HELPING STUDENTS ACCEPT “CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM” Most people love receiving them and post these as a way of brightening others’ days; they are the smiling, laughing, crying, or angry emojis so popular now in social media settings.
Well now they have another use; research shows that emojis can help students accept online feedback and motivate them to do better during home-schooling. In fact, they have replaced the stickers that teachers used to put on students’ work to show positive reinforcement.
most readily communicated in a face-toface setting,” Dr Moffitt said.
and improve, not because I am displeased with your work.” By offering a more accessible and relevant way of communicating with students, emoji could also help teachers connect across generations.
Remote and flexible learning though has forced educators to adapt the way they teach and give feedback, with the classroom moved online and contact with students reduced to emails, phone, and video calls.
But when providing feedback in-person isn’t an option, using emoji can strengthen the effect of a positive message, while softening the impact of a more critical comment. “Emoji is the new currency of electronic communication. It’s taken over how we communicate online in social contexts with peers and friends, so it makes sense that it also has a place in education,” Dr Moffitt added.
Educators say this this makes giving assessment feedback an even more difficult task, given visual cues such as facial expressions have been replaced with more impersonal formats like email and learning management systems. Assessments though are still one of the most important learning tools available to educators but giving students feedback online could lead to the intent behind the message getting misinterpreted. According to Melbourne’s RMIT psychology lecturer Dr Robyn Moffitt, there’s a simple, proven way for teachers to put some personality and warmth back into online feedback – emojis. It starts with a smile Moffitt’s research shows that including the classic smiley face emoji, , can evoke feelings of warmth and competence about the marker, which can motivate students to do better. “We know emotion is an important element of feedback and emotionality is
“It’s a quick and effective way to communicate warmth and emotion, even if you’re providing constructive feedback or highlighting areas for improvement.” A recent study led by Moffitt proved the point: students who received happy face emoticons in their feedback had significantly higher perceptions of the teacher’s warmth, as well as much greater faith in the teacher’s competence. Moffitt said using emoji did not make the marker seem any less professional and students’ perception of the overall feedback quality wasn’t affected. “The research suggests using emoji could help us to achieve the goal of feedback, which is to motivate improvement,” she said. “Emoji can demonstrate that even a not-so-positive message is still delivered with warmth and kindness; it helps to communicate that constructive feedback is given because I care and want you to learn
“Kids still love stickers, but they also love emoji,” Dr Moffitt said. “Even secondary school students often communicate more through emoji than words when texting or using social media.” Dr Moffitt’s tips for any teacher unsure on which emoji to use is simple: imagine the face you would want to portray while delivering the feedback. “Using the classic smiley face emoji is a safe bet, especially to frame constructive feedback as a genuine attempt to motivate and improve.” For example, rather than: “Be sure to proofread your work,” consider: “Be sure to proofread your work .” Moffitt said her research additionally found sad and confused emoji also worked in some situations but warned against overusing emoji and suggested a conservative approach, starting with smiling faces or emoji that clearly communicate positive affect. “Once students know teachers are open to communications with emoji, it can create new and fun ways of engaging,” she said. “Asking students for input might also help discover some new emoji!” Dr Moffitt concluded.

ORIGIN OF THE EMOJI
Like much in current popular cultu re — anime, manga, and J-Pop — emo jis are Japanese in origin. Often represented as simple-art representatives of smiling, frowning , or laughing faces — they are common ly-used in electronic messages and on web pages. Some examples of emoji are . They developed from “emoticoms”, which utilised standard type symbols and elements to represent a crude imag e, such as the grammatical devices used to create a sideways smiling face, the : ) symbol. The word “emoji” comes from the Japa nese “e” for the word “picture” combined with the word moji meaning “character”. The symbols originated among Japanese mobile phoneusers in the 1990s with the emoji beco ming increasingly-popular worldwide in the past 10 years after being added to several mobile operating-systems. Emojis are now commonly-used in email, mobile phone, and social media setti ngs, usually in a light-hearted and whim sical manner. The Oxford Dictionary’s 2015 “Word of the Year” for 2015 was the popular “Tears of Joy” emoji usually represented by the symbol .

as b BOB: Amanda, Council h m the

AMANDA: Here it is in full -
Submission to Orange City Council’s Future City Proposals Put Orange First is a group of local business people whose goal is to bring the major players in the advancement of Orange together so that more impact can be made through collaboration than all acting separately. We aim to build a stronger relationship between our local businesses and consumers by building a stronger sense of a connected community where people can see the benefits of keeping their money local. Put Orange First welcomes the Future City proposal to revitalise Orange’s Central Business district and to encourage more people to come to Orange CBD and spend more time there, to build a CBD the people of Orange can be proud of. It is a bold attempt and is so big that it is difficult to grasp. One of the elements on the website for discussion is a list of 106 projects. This makes it hard to visualise how all this will be implemented. Put Orange First suggests that there be a presentation to stakeholder groups and interested parties so that stakeholders can understand the vision for the future and the palette of ideas. This is a scenario planning approach where the vision for the future is clear and then we plan backwards to achieve it, removing the barriers in front of us. Scenario planning also asks ‘if we don’t do this what will the future be like?’ There is a danger that people may descend into the details and argue over those rather than gain momentum to achieve the vision, and we urge decision makers to look at the big picture.
...THERE IS A DANGER THAT PEOPLE MAY DESCEND INTO THE DETAILS AND ARGUE OVER THOSE RATHER THAN GAIN MOMENTUM TO ACHIEVE THE VISION, AND WE URGE DECISION MAKERS TO LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE... It is important to gain the support of the property owners in the CBD so that they can play their part in improving the private domain when improvements to the public domain are happening. Some of the proposed projects build on ideas put forward by organisations like Put Orange First, for example: Orange City Place Manager - Council to engage the services of a place manager who would be responsible for the organisation, curation and coordination of events and activities in the city centre. Orange City Centre Business Incentive Policy to attract targeted sectors into the city centre (E.g. Coffs Harbour City Council Business Incentive Policy). This could include a waiver of DA fees, discounted rates or access to Council owned property.
The proposal to develop an Orange City Centre Public Domain Manual should be one of the first cabs off the rank to ensure consistent quality in the public domain to encourage owners of the private domain to match the quality and design to outline in detail Council’s objective and strategies for public domain investments and provides technical specifications and performance requirements for: · Paving · Trees and understorey planting · Furniture and fixture eg. (seats, bins, bollards, bike-racks, drinking fountains, etc.) · Water sensitive urban design systems and elements (WSUD) · Street lighting and/or multifunction poles · Public transport stops · Wayfinding · Public art · Temporary installations and treatments Another project that has our support and is probably overdue is for the Council and key stakeholders to develop a Public Art Strategy and Programme for the commissioning of public art in the form of murals/graffiti art on blank façades of public and private buildings, sculptures and installations in the public domain.
AMANDA: I remember once being asked a similar question when I was working with a Council further north in NSW. I facilitated the community engagement throughout the local government area, with a main town and many smaller villages. I then worked with the Councillors and senior managers to develop the Community Strategic Plan on behalf of the community and the Council’s Delivery Program where the rubber hits the road to deliver community priorities. One of the major issues raised by the community was that the local airport had been closed to passenger flights, and many people wanted passenger flights to return. The Councillors asked me if they had to do what people were asking for and I said that the Councillors have a leadership role in explaining when something is not possible and what the alternatives are, and achieving momentum to deliver the alternatives. In this case, there was an airport only 40 minutes that was well served by passenger airline services. In this case the role of the Councillors was to lobby for a good, regular public transport service to get local people to and from the airport cheaply, not to try to persuade passenger airlines to return to the local airport. The Council planned for the local airport to be a freight centre, pilot training airport and industrial estate and that has been achieved. So, that was a rather long answer and it reflects what I said last week about some of the qualities needed by Councillors include:
Future City includes proposals for transport movements including improved public transport; pedestrian safety and smart parking initiatives.
•INSPIRE DIRECTION AND PURPOSE
We also support consideration of the changing shape of the Orange City Centre resulting from the building of the new Department of Primary Industries offices. We support the overall concept of Future City and look forward to continued involvement in proposals to revitalise Orange CBD to encourage more people to spend time there and make it a CBD to be proud of.’
• MAKE QUALITY DECISIONS
It seemed that the Future City proposals were not on exhibition for very long for community comment and I know there has been disquiet recently among CBD retailers about the exhibition of the South Orange Shopping Centre that seemed to be short and receive little publicity. I had understood that Council had undertaken to exhibit planning proposals for 40 days in response to COVID-19, yet I noticed that the Local Strategic Planning Statement was approved by Council on 21st July for a 28 day exhibition period which does not seem appropriate for such an important issue. BOB: There’s a lot of good sense in there, however call me a cynic, but given the way Councils do things these days, I can see this just getting bogged down with a myriad of different community opinions, objections etc. What can a Council like ours do to “avoid the arguing over details and gain momentum to achieve the vision” as Put Orange First put it?
| Saturday 25 July, 2020 |
o Create and communicate council’s goals, priorities and vision for the community, and oM ake considered, timely and transparent decisions based on merit, and uphold the decision of council. In the case of Future City, the Council needs to communicate, communicate, communicate the vision and the parts that are needed to deliver the whole. Communication includes having ambassadors from different walks of life to sell the vision too. So, Councillors. Council staff, local Members of Parliament, the local business community, community organisations and other stakeholders should all be ambassadors in owning the vision and gaining the commitment from others. This does not mean bulldozing the whole thing through. Proper consideration needs to be given to local impacts and alternatives for all proposals. Of course, if Councillors fail to persuade the local community on an issue and go against something that is very dear to the heart of the majority of the community, the ultimate accountability is at the local government elections!! One of the most contentious issues is always car parking and I expect that any proposed decreases in car parking spaces will result in a great deal of negative comments. I have heard about the widespread anger when the traffic lights were put in at the Post Office and the footpaths in Summer Street were widened which both resulted in the loss of

several car parking spaces. Clearly, projects need to be pursued in a sequence that causes the least temporary reduction in car parking spaces at any one time, so, for example, new car parking stations should be developed before other car parking is temporarily closed for construction. Perhaps the idea of “3 main car parks and a figure 8 shuttle to the CBD core” is worth exploring, or a shuttle from these car parks that also include the Health and Lifestyle Precinct and the new Institutional precinct? The Future City proposals give in depth consideration to transport and parking issues and some proposals will ask us to change the way we currently behave which is never an easy task and requires leadership. BOB: If I was undertaking this, as a businessman, I’d be looking at what projects I could do now, to gain that momentum and bring the community along with me. Of the 100 plus projects, are there any you personally feel could be done sooner rather than later, to get the ball rolling? Why?
AMANDA: The proposals are divided into six precincts: 1. Retail Core 2. Civic Precinct 3. East City
GOSLING CREEK IS CHANGING T H E FA C E O F AG ED CA R E
4. The Shoulders (surrounding the Retail Core) 5. Enterprise Corridor (surrounding the rail line) and 6. Institutional Precinct (around the TAFE March Street campus and the new DPIE building). Future City includes potential economic strategies and actions, many of which have been proposed by Put Orange First, broken into Short, Medium and Long Term. SHORT TERM (1 – 3 YEARS) • Communication Platform between Council and retailers • City Centre and Tourism Assets • Leverage Council landholdings in the city centre MEDIUM TERM (3 – 5 YEARS) • Encourage landlord reinvestment LONG TERM (5+ YEARS) • Consolidate development in the city centre • Future role of higher density residential By definition the short term strategies aim to get the ball rolling. Put Orange First has received feedback from members that the projects that would have the most impact and should be undertaken to get the ball rolling are: 4. 5. 6. 45.

“NEW NORMAL” FOR VISITING SOCCER TEAM AND ALSO RESTARTING NETBALL “New normal” was on display in local soccer and netball with the return of many local sports over the weekend. Orange hosted a visit by a visiting under16s girls team from the famous Marconi Club in western Sydney, but all was not as it once was. “They came up from Sydney and played against a Western Mariners (representative) side,” Tony Mileto from Orange District Football Association said. “But they were allowed very limited use of the change-rooms due to the COVID crisis,” he added. “we abided by all the guidelines… we couldn’t let them use the change-rooms, for instance. “They arrived fully kitted-up and at half time and full-time neither of the teams entered the changerooms. They were allowed to use them for first-aid and the like, but with a maximum of eight people in there at any one time,” he explained. He said though that the School Holiday
“gala days” held to give junior teams a run-up to the competition proper starting this weekend had gone off without a hitch: “Everyone was very responsible, it went very well,” he said. The competition for junior soccer starts this weekend, he said with two games for most sides as the ODFA associations seeks to compress their season into the three months left before the cricket season again rolls-around in October. “We’re having two double-headers as we try to get the 15 rounds in that we had on target for the season,” Mr Mileto explained. Orange netballers also got their first proper work-out for the season with both junior and senior teams finally getting some real competition underway, with some changes reflecting our vexed times. “It was really good to get out on the courts; Orange Netball Association did a really good job in ensuring all the protocols were followed — they had to be
commended as a lot of people go through those courts,” Kate Shepherd from the Nemesis Sports Club said.
enjoyed being back in play. “The girls were happy to return to some normality; they really missed that. “Everyone enjoyed themselves and it was really nice weather. It was great to get them out and about and it was very enjoyable morning,” she added.
...We’re having two doubleheaders as we try to get the 15 rounds in that we had on target... “It was good to finally get-out on the court and work-off those COVID pounds,” she laughed. “We have one women’s side and we’ve been doing some fitness together, but it was great to get together and we had a really good game against very nice CYMS team… and we had a win!” she said. Erin Lossano from Orange Barbarians said that the girls’ junior teams especially

She said that the social distancing rules all seemed to work well with little impact on the enjoyment for the players. “Everyone adapted pretty well… there were markings of where everyone had to go; they couldn’t shake hands at the end of the game, and only one parent was allowed to attend,” she explained. The club has entered one open and one junior team in the abridged season with both the Under eights and Under 10s teams dropping-out. “By the time we got everything organised, many of the parents and kids were not that keen to start again,” Ms Lossano explained.

WATER A PRIORITY BOB WYLLIE writes: Bob, Each week my wife and I read the Orange City Life and now the new Newswatch. This week I was particularly taken by a number of articles in the Newswatch. Firstly, the articles on Move to the Country and decentralisation are of interest to me as the continued expansion of Sydney and demand for infrastructure spending there to cope is frustrating when that expenditure could be put to better use and value in decentralisation at such locations as Vitorria as you point out. Perhaps our local member and Minister for Decentralisation could be encouraged to continue to engage in development of strategies to progress decentralisation in this area. The “No Guts – No Glory” article clearly shows your continued passion for the ongoing development of Orange and your many suggested initiatives to achieve this. In your list of seven actions for “Where to from Here,” I believe there is a number one priority not mentioned. That priority is securing additional water storage for the City as I am convinced that without this, continued development and population growth will be seriously compromised and the potential for decentralisation also limited. Brief reasons for my views are:• The Suma Park Dam catchment is too small and yields in wetter years are limited • As has been evidenced over the last three years, storage capacity is barely sufficient to cater for drought conditions with current useage levels. Level 5 restrictions have been applied twice in the last ten years. • Storm water harvesting and river pipelines are excellent support measures but are dependent on rain events and are not storage. • If long range climate predictions of hotter drier conditions for our area become fact, the dry over the last three years clearly shows the City does not have enough water storage.
I have written to the CWD on this issue which, among other correspondents, elicited response from Council that such comment should be made to Council rather than the media. To accommodate this, I met with the Council CEO and a Councillor. I also supplied a copy of some research I had done on an example location for a new dam. I was well received in this discussion but no feedback has been forthcoming since. I then made a submission to the Draft Budget for 2020/21 expanding on the above brief points and setting out in detail my request that Council establish a strategic direction in the budget to investigate the establishment of a new storage dam for the City. I have not been able to find any such inclusion in the adopted budget nor have I received any response to my budget submission. My background for my interest and concern for the City’s water supply is from 40 years as a Local Government Engineer, my last employment was as Director of Engineering with Cabonne Council. I left full time employment to undertake consultancy work and to also do some TAFE teaching. I am now fully retired. Bob, I look forward to your continued positive push for progress in our City. The need for water to support this goes hand in hand.

I’d like to know why there isn’t any seats in Main Street? I have to sit or lean up against shop fronts so I can get my breath and have a puff on my Asmol inhaler as I have asthma and C.O.P.D, the only seats are at the bus stops where everyone sits and smokes and spits all over the foot path. We need more seats.

Just like you, I do not know how much these boards cost to run. The information they display is still extremely useful to our population. We have had, what would be thought quite reasonable rainfall in recent times but isn’t is amazing that our water storage is still under 30%? The message is that the drought is not over, and we cannot go back to what was once normal water usage. Perhaps council could make this message more prominent.
