Talented Coffs swimmers locked out of Olympic pool By Emma DARBIN
q Coffs Harbour swimming coach Sarah-Jane Weir and her swimming students have issued a plea to be allowed access to train at Coffs Harbour Olympic Pool, with current Coffs Harbour City Council lease arrangements locking them out.
TALENTED Coffs Harbour swimmers competing successfully at State level are being severely disadvantaged by Coffs Harbour City Council’s single lease arrangement at Coffs Harbour War Memorial Olympic Swimming Pool, with swimmers being denied access to train at the Olympic pool. Under current Council arrangements, only one coach is permitted to train swimming squads out of Council’s Olympic Pool, and any students who wish to train at the pool must do so under the guidance of this swimming coach.

Coffs Harbour’s Burmese community demand action following military coup in homeland FROM Page 1
Elected officials, including the State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint, activists and student leaders were abducted and their whereabouts remain unknown. People's leader Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) won 83% of the vote on November 8 2020 to form government for a second five year term. The military coup, which began with the arrests, comes as the National League for Democracy (NLD), was
meeting with ethnic parties to build a federal union of equal rights and self-determination to end more than 70 years of civil war. In Coffs Harbour and surrounds there are several different ethnicities of Myanmar including ethnic Burmans also known as the Myanmar Community, Chin, Hakka Chin, Kachin, Zomi, Karen and Karenni. Coffs Harbour has offered refuge for many Burmese ethnic minorities who had to flee their homelands due to military attacks and
persecution. Chin state, Coffs Harbour based community member Aye Win said, “The reaction in the Chin community has been strong condemnation of the military junta. “We are really worried about our people and we all have family and friends in our home states. “When we heard about this we were really sad and we don’t know what to do or how to react so we decided to join the protest against the military junta.” Ms Win told News Of
The Area, “By protesting we want to raise the profile and share information to let the government and community know. “We want the Australian government and the MPs to be aware of what they can do and talk in parliament and do something to get the military to return the power to the democratically elected NLD. “We would like the government to talk to the junta to sort out this problem and return the elected officials peacefully. “We also urge the q
Australian government to stop giving the military any money or support for now. “Wait and give support to civilians if there are strong organisations to help the civilians.” The Chin community and other ethnic Burmese communities in Coffs Harbour have written letters condemning the Australian government’s financial and training support to the Burmese military responsible for the coup against democracy. Ms Win said the Chin
community is one of a number of ethnic groups from Myanmar, in our Local Government Area that have written letters to the Minister for Foreign Affairs,the Honourable Marise Payne, the Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Honourable Penny Wong and the local Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan. The letters condemn the military junta, demand release of those detained including Aung Sun Suu Kyi, seek a return to democracy and an end to all military support for Myanmar immediately.

Council pool lease arrangement locks out local swimming squad
q Much needed training facilities at Coffs Harbour War Memorial Swimming Pool are being denied to local swimmers unless they train with the Pool’s designated swimming coach. Photo: Emma Darbin.
FROM Page 1
Sarah-Jane Weir has tried in vain to obtain the necessary access to the swimming pool to allow her athletes to train at the 50m Olympic swimming pool, but has been refused entry to the community pool by pool staff, and her letters to Council and local MP Gurmesh Singh have fallen on deaf ears. Coffs Harbour City Mayor Denise Knight has corresponded with Sarah-Jane on the issue following her pleas to Council to obtain vital access to the swimming pool for her athletes. Mayor Knight stated in her correspondence that, “While we appreciate your passion to have your swimmers utilise the Coffs Harbour Olympic Pool to sharpen their skills in a compliant facility prior to competition. “The decision to award a contract to one coach or entity was not taken lightly but was regarded as the best way to manage squad programs at each site. “We do have designated external coaching taking place in Coffs Harbour and Sawtell and there is still agreement in place that no squad training is available from another
party,” Cr Knight stated in her correspondence. Sarah-Jane has also reached out to Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh, who contacted Council about the issue on her behalf. Council’s Business Services director Andrew Beswick’s reply to Mr Singh stated that once Council took over operation of the public swimming pools in October 2020, Council then undertook an open expression of interest process to appoint a suitable coach for each of the pools. “This was a rigorous process and we now have coaches at each of the Coffs Harbour and Sawtell public swimming pools,” Mr Beswick replied. “This is considered the best and most appropriate model to manage squad programs whilst coordinating with the Learn to Swim Program for development of all swimmers, including progression to the local Swimming Clubs.” Sarah-Jane’s talented swimming students are currently forced to train out of an inadequate local 20m swimming pool, which has no diving blocks and does not possess the correct FINA standard line markings.

She believes this is hampering student performance when competing at regional and State level swimming competitions against other swimmers who regularly train in FINA approved 50m Olympic swimming pools. “They have been denied the opportunity to prepare (for State championships) in our region’s only 50m pool with diving blocks and that’s beyond disappointing,” Ms Weir said. “They shouldn’t have to accept that our Council regulations and insufficient aquatic facilities means that they can’t practise on diving blocks or in appropriately marked pools prior to competing. “These athletes deserve the opportunity to practise out of our council pool under the supervision of their coach.” Sarah-Jane said the Council restrictions go so far as to extend the one coach restriction to hours that the pool isn’t being used by the coach who has been awarded the swimming pool tender. “Our region is extremely under resourced as far as aquatic facilities,” Ms Weir stressed. “We have only one 50m
pool (Council owned) and the next closest 50m pool is a 100km round trip away and is not even in our Council area. “Coffs Harbour Olympic Pool is the only 50m pool in our area with FINA approved markings and diving blocks.” Sarah-Jane and her swimming squad were recently forced to travel to Maclean Olympic Pool in December 2020 to obtain access to a 50m pool for training prior to competition. “They immediately and without hesitation allowed access for my athletes and we travelled the 220km round trip to Maclean to complete a training session in the 50m

pool,” Ms Weir said. “It just begs the question, why this isn’t something that can be done at our Council pool? “The council pool is a pool for the community, and all the community should have access to the facility.” Sarah-Jane said she currently has eight swimmers travelling down to the upcoming NSW Country Championships this month at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre, who will arrive there to compete with no dive practice or any preparation out of a 50m pool. Council took over management of its swimming
pools from Lane 4 in October 2020, releasing Lane 4 early from its lease “due to the extreme financial pressure COVID-19 has created” on the business. The Coffs Harbour War Memorial Swimming Pool was closed to the public on 22 March 2020 by Council due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In a press release issued by Council on July 30 2020 Council stated that it “has decided to take over management of the pools from mid-October to ensure this vital recreational service continues to be provided to the community and visitors”.

Dorrigo Cenotaph Stands Again “Repairs to the life size marble soldier and the damaged sections of the memorial’s foundations and plaques have been overseen by heritage advisors and the Dorrigo RSL Sub-Branch to ensure the cenotaph is returned to its former glory but retains its period features.” Cr King said the repair and reinstatement of the cenotaph proved to be a challenging project for all involved given the historical significance of the cenotaph, which commemorates those from the
district who died in service of their country during World War One, World War 2 and the Korean War. “The cenotaph displays the names of men and women whose families have lived here in the district for years and many of their descendants still live in Dorrigo and in our Shire, so it’s important that they have closure, and that the Cenotaph is in place for ANZAC Day commemorations in 2022, which is the centenary of its instalment.”
Dusk signs Enforceable Undertaking NATIONAL retail company Dusk Australasia Pty Ltd is back-paying employees more than $2.3 million after entering into an Enforceable Undertaking (EU) with the Fair Work Ombudsman. The company, which operates more than 100 retail outlets across Australia selling candles and other products, including a Dusk store within the Park Beach Plaza in Coffs Harbour, selfreported underpayments to the regulator in June 2020. After being prompted by queries from employees, Dusk became aware that it had
underpaid an entitlement that was payable under the General Retail Award 2010 when employees had a break of less than 12 hours between shifts. The error led to Dusk underpaying employees across all states and territories. The underpaid workers were primarily customer service staff, assistant store managers and store managers. As at 21 December 2020, Dusk has identified and commenced back-paying more than 1500 current and former employees approximately $2.3 million for underpayments that occurred between 2013
and 2019. Individual back-payments range from $4 to over $26,000. In addition, Dusk is also paying employees interest and superannuation in relation to the underpayments. The EU requires Dusk to have compensated all employees by 22 February 2021. Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said that an EU was appropriate as Dusk had cooperated with the investigation and demonstrated a strong commitment to rectifying all underpayments. “Under the Enforceable Undertaking, Dusk has committed to implementing stringent measures to improve

Greens Concerned About Council’s Approach To Homelessness By Andrew VIVIAN COFFS Harbour Greens are calling on Coffs Harbour City Council to clarify their management framework for dealing with the Coffs Harbour homelessness crisis. They are concerned that the erection of security fencing at the Coffs Harbour Community Village goes against the spirit of the Council’s ‘My Coffs Community Strategy’, the goals of which state that the Council ‘explore innovative solutions to affordable accommodation provision’ and that ‘collaborative approaches, based on evidence, are used to best reduce disadvantage’. Coffs Harbour Greens Convener, Jonathan Cassell, is concerned that the fence indicates that the Council is moving away from these goals and towards a more punitive attitude when dealing with the homelessness crisis. Mr Cassell said, “We think that this is a very insensitive move by Council leadership and contrary to the Council’s My Coffs Community Strategy goals of a thriving and connected community.” “We believe that Council could be a regional leader in addressing the escalating homelessness and housing crisis in our area through the development of a Council-wide homelessness strategy,” he said. The Greens and the Council agree that Coffs

Harbour has a growing homelessness problem that requires State Government funding and resourcing. However, the Greens feel that a more specific Council homelessness strategy would go a long way to moving forward with the best interests of the entire community in mind. Mr Cassell said, “Council can plan, liaise, advocate and review by-laws and they can also develop formal and informal policies on homelessness just as Clarence Council have done, who have been recognised for their outstanding work in this area.” The Coffs Harbour City Council has examined strategies for providing affordable housing in the medium to long term, but, in the short term, the Greens view is that the situation is not expected to

improve in 2021 and the risks for youth homelessness, in particular, are increased. A spokesperson for the Council said that an expert was engaged to undertake an independent Community Safety Audit in March 2020 for the Community Village area in response to a number of security and amenity issues raised by tenants in the village, service providers and Police. A short-term priority was the installation of a safety fence to create a safer environment in the hope that new service providers will be interested in taking up residence at the Community Village to help those in need. The audit included working with service providers to look at the expansion of services for the homeless but according to the Council spokesperson, “These are complex issues but putting people and safety first is at the heart of Council’s approach.” The Greens view is that, while they appreciate that there have been security concerns, good governance requires foreseeing problems before they get worse and acting to remedy an issue, and that the fence simply shifts the problem to another location.

Environmentalists Claim Native Hardwoods Are Being Woodchipped By Andrew VIVIAN BIOFUEL is a term becoming more widely used to describe a range of practices to mitigate climate change. Of local interest is the wood chipping of waste timber left after logging, which is then pressed into pellets to be burnt. However, not everyone is convinced that only waste timber is wood chipped. Two environmentalists have raised the possibility that native forest timber is being used for fuel in Way Way Forest near Macksville on the Mid North Coast of NSW. According to Michael Jones, an environmental scientist who has worked with the National Parks Association, a mix of gum tree species have been logged, including bluegum trees (a koala feed tree), and cut into short lengths. Mr Jones said that he had contacted several Forestry Corporation officials and could not find out if the logs were being wood chipped, or not.
Frank Dennis, a spokesperson from No Electricity From Forests” (NEFF), has said that “The government, and sections of the timber industry, seems intent on continuing their ‘war on forests’ here on the North Coast. He claimed, “Their serious mission for years has been to provide a supply of small logs to the burgeoning worldwide market for wood pellets, forest biomass and to burn as fuel to produce electricity both here and overseas in countries like Japan”. Mr. Jones and Mr. Dennis say that new forestry rules will allow 140,000 hectares of forests to be virtually clear-felled from south of Taree to Grafton, in areas of up to 60 hectares (previously 0.25hectares), converting complex forests types into single species monocultures, mainly blackbutts. As well, burning wood for electricity produces more CO2 than burning coal and it takes decades for trees to grow and tie up the carbon again. They say that large volumes of native timber are required to keep this industry going and the claim that
q Clear felling near Bellingen. (supplied by Michael Jones) “waste” timber, only, is to be used is totally misleading. Closer to the Coffs Coast, concern has also been raised about onsite wood chipping in the Tarkeeth State Forest. Forestry Corporation’s response to wood chipping claims is that clear felling does not occur in state forests such as Way Way. It said that the timber plantations in the Tarkeeth State Forest are not natural forests but have been
TicliBlaxlandLawyers
specifically planted on previously-cleared farmland during the 1960 and 70s for timber production. These mature timber plantations been progressively harvested within the Tarkeeth State Forest and there has been replanting of the entire plantation area with the next generation of locally grown native seedlings over the past few years. Forest Corporation says it is carrying out a trial to
remove by-products already on the forest floor that are not suitable for use in traditional timber products to produce biomass instead of burning them on the forest floor. It adds that the primary product coming out of the forest remains quality timber needed by the community, especially in the post-fire rebuilding effort and the residue sold for biomass is just that, residue. Caroline Joseph, from the
Bellingen Environment Centre said that logs cut into shorter lengths have been observed in the Tarkeeth State Forest, near Bellingen. She also said that the combination of clear felling and onsite wood chipping causes additional problems. She told News Of The Area, “The land is absolutely denuded after the clearing and wood chipping, so any run off goes straight into the nearest waterway.”

Coffs Harbour researcher helping our Pacific neighbours A SOUTHERN Cross University study has found that a marine snail introduced to the Pacific nation of Samoa, instead of being detrimental to the environment, is proving to be an asset. Before the snail’s introduction 15 years ago Samoa did not have a naturally-occurring trochus population. In fact, the island nation was one of the last places in the Pacific for the species to be introduced compared with other countries where trochus sea snails had provided an additional shellfish resource for coastal fishers for more than 80 years. In a new paper, published in the journal Restoration Ecology, Southern Cross University marine researcher Associate Professor Steven Purcell, who is based at the National Marine Science Centre in Coffs Harbour, has found no negative ecological effects of the trochus in colonised Samoan coral reefs. “It’s a story of the amazing colonisation of snails that appears to benefit both the marine environment and the livelihoods of the Samoan people,” Dr Purcell said.
“Unlike examples in Australia – the cane toad, the fox, rabbit and European carp, to name a few, which have been detrimental to native species and habitats – the trochus has shown itself to be a welcome species that can control reef algae while offering a valuable new seafood to coastal people.” When trochus snails, sourced from Fiji and Vanuatu, were introduced between 2003 to 2006 the goal was to establish populations that could benefit Samoan villagebased fishers, weighed up

against potential ecological impacts. A few years ago the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) commissioned Southern Cross University to partner with Samoa’s Ministry of Fisheries in a new study. The aim was to investigate how extensively trochus had colonised Samoan coral reefs and examine subsequent impacts on the environment and people’s livelihoods. “From a few initial release sites, trochus now
can be found around both main islands in Samoa. At many reef sites, populations are abundant, with several hundred animals or more per hectare,” said Dr Purcell. “A vibrant fishery has been established in Samoa, where artisanal village fishers collect them for local consumption and sale by the roadside.” In recent years, reefs in Samoa and elsewhere in the Pacific have been impacted

by coral bleaching and subsequent algal overgrowth. Other studies had shown that trochus can benefit reef systems. Through its feeding, the herbivorous snails graze down this algal overgrowth that can smother young corals or prevent them from attaching on the reef. “Our data found the introduced trochus in Samoa do not appear to be outcompeting the native marine snail species,” said Dr Purcell.

Boosting Senior Public Sector Jobs on the Coffs Coast MORE senior NSW Government roles will be based in regional communities like the Coffs Coast, increasing the number of high skilled jobs and supporting local economies, following the release of the NSW Government’s Regional Workforce Principles. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said these new Principles
will help to grow the public sector in regional areas through commitments to increase the proportion of senior regional staff by 2023 as well as to advertise roles that can be performed from any location as ‘regional location encouraged’. “This is exciting news for regional communities, it means a more significant NSW Government presence across the state, more job
opportunities and greater career progression,” Mr Singh said. “We all benefit from a more significant NSW Government workforce presence in our regions where local communities have the local knowledge and experience to make decisions about their own wants and needs. “While details about where people will be based are yet to be determined, I
will be promoting the vibrant lifestyle, friendly community, and spectacular scenery and quality of life waiting to be enjoyed here on the Coffs Coast.” Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro said the Regional Workforce Principles demonstrate the NSW Government’s commitment to delivering its recently released 20-Year Economic Vision for
Regional NSW – Refresh. “After the impacts of natural disasters and a pandemic, it’s clear our communities want a stronger, safer regional NSW, which is not only surviving, but thriving, and the refreshed 20-year Vision sets out a clear pathway forward,” Mr Barilaro said. “These principles will build on the NSW Government’s investment in regional NSW,
Rotary support for Pete’s Place
$12,000 donation from Rotary and the Mayor provides much needed equipment for Pete’s Place medical support program By David
TUNE PETE’S Place is a not-for-profit community support initiative run by the St Vincent de Paul Society and is a drop-in centre for people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness, located in the community village precinct behind Coles in Harbour Drive. As reported previously in News Of The Area (NOTA 22/12/20), one of the services offered at the facility is a Friday medical clinic run voluntarily by Dr Ryan Partridge to deliver services to homeless and disadvantaged members of our community. Dr Partridge said, “This is something of a first-aid clinic that provides health advice and basic general practice services, and we are often backing up and reinforcing other health services.

Regional Seniors Travel Card JUST three weeks after applications for the Regional Seniors Travel Card opened the popular initiative has had more than 100,000 applications from across regional NSW. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said it’s fantastic to see the keen response to year two of the trial of the $250 prepaid Visa
card which benefited more than 337,500 seniors and their communities in 2020. “The Regional Seniors Travel Card was a commitment we made before the 2019 NSW election, and I’m proud to say it’s one we have delivered for the people of regional NSW,” Mr Singh said. “The card has been an
overwhelming success, last year easing the burden of about 10,000 local seniors. “Already in year two of the trial 5,580 applications have been received from Coffs Harbour and surrounds. “This card is great news for regional seniors and another way we are injecting money into the bush with the benefit flowing for fuel

enabling people to pursue their public sector careers in the bush, rather than having to relocate to Sydney. The Department of Regional NSW has established working hubs in Armidale, Coffs Harbour, Dubbo and Queanbeyan in the past six months, and will soon begin to assist NSW Government agencies to grow their workforces in regional communities.
“We give immediate care and what is sometimes referred to as street medicine, and we see between six to twelve people per day.” With no government funding for any of the services Pete’s Place provides they recently welcomed a donation of $12,000 to support the clinic’s operation. Made up of $6,000 from Rotary International, $2,000 from the Daybreak Rotary Club, $3,000 from the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour and $1,000 from Mayor Denise Knight, the funding will go towards much needed computer hardware and software for the clinic, as well as more medical supplies. The donation from the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour came from monies raised by their extremely popular annual Bookfest, which will run this year for the sixteenth time from Saturday 20 February to Saturday 27 February at the Coffs Harbour showgrounds.

Jetty Memorial Theatre switching the lights back on q Arli Fender admiring the Theatre’s character and nostalgia.
By David WIGLEY THE Jetty Memorial Theatre on Harbour Drive is switching the lights back on with a program of variety performances scheduled for 2021. The live performances commence on Friday 12 February with a star studded cabaret show hosted by Nick Hardcastle who started his career at The Coffs Harbour Memorial Theatre and went on to perform in blockbusters such as Priscilla the Musical, Creature Features and the popular TV drama Home and Away. Last year Nick was based at the Marilyn Monroe Theatre in West Hollywood and now he returns to his roots to switch on the lights at the Theatre where it all started. “I grew up on the Jetty Theatre stage and I am so excited to be able to bring my friends together onto that stage to celebrate the lights being switched back on and the great season that the theatre is presenting in 2021,” Nick wrote in the program notes. Events staff member, Arli Fender shared the frustrations caused by the pandemic in

The Memorial Theatre has a rich history in the Community spanning almost one hundred years. It was built in 1927 by the Returned Services League of Australia (RSL) and functioned as a Cinema until
the late 1970’s and in 2004 the building was transformed into a 250 seat contemporary Theatre to broaden to accommodate a broader variety of performances. The Theatre has retained its 1920’s character and nostalgia, and stays true to its roots as a Cinema with weekly Matinees and evening films which includes the Academy Award accredited Short Film Festival ‘Flickerfest’. “After a devastating 2020, we’ve been working really hard to put on the best shows possible for the Coffs Coast and bounce back in 2021,” concluded Fender.

Cartoon Gallery Extension Kicks Off With Bill Leak By Andrew VIVIAN
THE first major event in the new and extended National Cartoon Gallery was an exhibition of the work of wellknown cartoonist, Bill Leak, who passed away in 2017. The exhibition opening night sold out and the audience was treated to nibbles and drinks as they perused the art works and the gallery extension. Half of the new extension was taken up with prints of Mr Leak’s cartoons and the other half contained caricatures he had drawn along with
cartoons by his son, Johannes, who took over from his father at ‘The Australian’ newspaper after he died. The exhibition was opened by Gallery Director, Margaret Cameron, before Fred Pawle, a journalist and friend of Mr Leak’s, talked about the great cartoonist's life and body of work. Mr Pawle will soon publish a biography of Bill Leak called “Die Laughing”. He recalled a number of anecdotes about Mr Leak, including his struggles with alcoholism. Mr Pawle said that Bill
despised ‘frauds’, which he believed meant most politicians. He told the audience that Bill was offended by being called ‘Willy Leak’ by primary
school students during a school visit. According to Mr Pawle, when Graeme Richardson saw the portrait he had commissioned from Leak
His career has continued from then rising to new heights and touring in Australia and internationally on an annual basis up until pandemic restrictions curtailed his plans. As well as performing, David and his wife Gillian are involved with a number of local musical groups as patrons, providing support and guidance particularly for young performers. One prominent local group that has benefitted from this patronage is the Bellingen
Youth Orchestra (BYO), with David joining them in concert in December last year in Stockton Hall at Bellingen High School. Gillian said, “David loved performing with the BYO, they are such a talented group of outstanding musicians, led by the amazing Annie Phelan, who is something of a legend herself.” They are also patrons of The Buttery which is a not-forprofit, charitable, community based organisation located in
the Byron Bay hinterland and specialises in the treatment of alcohol and other drug misuse and mental health issues as well as problem gambling. The Helfgott’s have supported this organisation through donations and by David performing for staff and residents, with his music supplying its own therapeutic value. When asked for his reaction to the award David responded by saying, “It’s a great honour, too good to be true, beyond my

Leak’s legacy ‘took a hit’ in his last two years because of the reaction to some of his cartoons. Possibly Mr Leak’s most controversial cartoon, ‘What’s his name then?’, in response to an ABC Four Corners program about the Don Dale juvenile detention centre in the Northern Territory, was part of the exhibition, along with others that had courted controversy over the years. All depictions of Mr Leak’s works were printed and framed by gallery volunteers. The Chair of the Gallery, Mr Paul McKeon, told the audience, “The new gallery is going to be a great asset for Coffs Harbour and I hope you will support us during the coming years.”

BOAMBEE East Community Centre has secured a share in the latest round of the NSW Government’s $1.5 million Youth Opportunities program. The not-for-profit organisation is working to improve youth engagement and participation has received a funding boost to help kickstart new initiatives. Minister for Families, Communities and Disability Services Gareth Ward congratulated the group and said 35 projects state-wide received up to $50,000 each through the program. “We want all young people to be engaged and active members of their communities and these grants foster exciting new initiatives to make that happen,” Mr Ward said. The Minister also recognised the ongoing work of local member Gurmesh Singh in continually backing grant applications from the community. Boambee East Community Centre Community

Development Officer Anthea Flowers said, “This funding will go towards delivering a series of pop-up art, cultural and music workshops across the Coffs Harbour local government area and will include providing mentoring and training to local youth committees.” The funding will also help overcome some of the barriers experienced by young people in our region such as accessibility and access to transport. The workshops will culminate in a showcase event for young people. Located in Bruce King Drive, the Boambee East Community Centre is a vital hub for the local community, offering a wide range of services to support and empower people, including providing a meeting and event space for many community groups and clubs including the Coffs Harbour Astronomical Society, Chin Waggers social club for Seniors and local church groups. For more information about the Centre and its services call 6658 4655 or find them on Facebook.

By Sandra MOON
COFFS Harbour and Sawtell Girl Guides are returning to their usual programme after they had to restrict gatherings last year due to COVID-19 and some of the activities went online. The groups are set to hold an Open Day on Saturday February the thirteenth from 10am to 1pm where interested girls and young women can come and learn about girl guide activities and get a taste for some of the things planned for 2021. Coffs Harbour Girl Guides runs three levels for participants the Pre-Junior Guides, Junior Guides, Guides and Senior Guides. The Guide Hall is located at 209A Harbour Drive Coffs Harbour on the corner at the traffic lights east of Coles. District Leader is Susan Gibson and you can contact her on 0424 430 161 for any enquiries.

Sawtell Guides are also ready to accept new girls and the District Leader Lorraine White can be contacted on 0412 534 160. Girl Guides Coffs and Sawtell are just two districts that are part of the greater Girl Guides NSW which officially turns one hundred
this year. Recently twenty nine year old Emily Milton Smith was announced to become the 20th State Commissioner of Girl Guides NSW, ACT & NT at an official handover ceremony in May 2021. The appointment coincides with the celebrations of a century of Guiding in NSW, and is illustrative of the Association’s commitment to its centenary theme, empowering future women. State Commissioner Elect Emily Milton Smith said of the appointment,
“Girl Guides empowers girls and young women to make a positive change in the community. “It is a vibrant space where girls and young women develop confidence and build resilience to navigate their world. This has been at the heart of the Girl Guide movement for the last 100 years and our purpose burns bright for our next century. “Every day, we shine a light on girls and young women as today’s leaders and tomorrow’s future.”
THE Sawtell community is set to enjoy a new bar and cafe within its bustling hospitality scene in the town’s CBD area. A development application for a Small Bar and Cafe (change of use from Office Premises, including internal works) has been approved at 16 First Avenue, Sawtell by Coffs Harbour City Council. The application was advertised for public comment in November, 2020, and works on the bar and cafe are estimated at $50,000. The new bar and cafe will be called The Athletic Club and it will operate from 3pm to 11.30pm on Monday to Saturday, and from noon to 10pm on
Sundays. The site is located within the Sawtell Village precinct on the eastern side of First Avenue, and is surrounded by shop top housing and commercial premises. It is currently an office building containing four offices, formerly occupied by ReNet. The two-storey building is listed as an item of Local Significance, and is located within the Sawtell Heritage Conservation Area. Demolition works will be undertaken to this existing dwelling, as well as the existing carport and outbuildings. It is the intention of the applicant to commence trading as a small bar and move to a cafe offering in the form of takeaway only, in the future. All food for the new business will be prepared off site.

Regional Conservatorium reopens doors By David WIGLEY
AFTER a year of concert postponements and cancellations the Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium re-opened its doors in spectacular fashion and left a packed house on their feet asking for more. The Conservatorium’s newest staff member, Maggie Pang, opened the concert with a solo piano performance of Bach’s Chaconne which mesmerised the audience. Annabelle Swainston joined Maggie on stage for the second performance as they played Leos Janacek’s Sonata

on violin and piano. As described in the program notes, this piece is, “Typical of the mature Janacek in its general style, in the way melodic fragments are tersely repeated and juxtaposed, with some of the quality of direct speech, and combined with accompaniment patterns that also repeat short rhythmic gestures.” Following the interval, Caleb Murray (cello), Daniel Lopez (violin) and Patrick Brearley (viola) joined Maggie and Annabelle on stage to perform Robert Schumann’s Piano Quintet and brought the concert to a q Maggie Pang opened the Concert with a piano solo.

Take a Fly Through Coffs Harbour’s New Cultural and Civic Space
q
Virtually experience the new Cultural and Civic Space.
YOU can now fly-through Coffs Harbour’s new Cultural and Civic Space with BVN Architects now at the stage to give the community a better look inside. The fly-through video highlights the project's design, focusing on how the community will experience the inside of the building on the various levels. “It can be difficult to imagine a building from a set of two-dimensional plans, even when you are familiar with the design,” remarked Ken Welham, Coffs Harbour City Council Cultural and Civic Space Project Lead. “That’s why we asked BVN to create this video – to make the building more real. “The virtual tour begins at the fig tree on Riding Lane, continues through the internal street, looking in at the children’s library on the ground floor, follow the stairs up through the building, showing a glimpse at the
young adult space on level 1, then up to level 2 where viewers can see the main library. “The fly-through finishes on the level 3 rooftop, where viewers will see the terrace, council offices and the multipurpose space which will be utilised for official council meetings once a fortnight.” BVN’s Principal Architect, Matthew Blair said that the fly-through has assisted the overall process and believes the video will give the community a sense of the building’s versatility. “Being able to visualise the project is a technological marvel. It helps our design process, allowing everyone in the project team to fine tune everything whilst helping the community understand all of the diverse and functional spaces that the building provides.” Visit the following link to watch the video - https:// vimeo.com/508622787.
Professor Heather Cavanagh, said, “We congratulate the Emergisim team at Coffs Harbour who have won the local District Prize to help accelerate the commercialisation of their Virtual Reality First Responder product to address the training disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It is great to be able to work with and support emerging businesses and entrepreneurs in our regions, and we wish Emergisim every success in the future.” Acting Manager of the Charles Sturt Innovation Hub
Ms Siobhain Howard said, “A huge congratulations to Michael Brewer and his team at Emergisim for this grant in recognition of the impact the business can make to reduce the widespread negative consequences of COVID-19. “We’re incredibly proud of this outstanding achievement and they are an excellent example of how regional NSW SMEs really are at the cutting edge of innovation.” This COVID-19 Challenge was one of three challenges, the second of which will be announced shortly.
Coffs business awarded innovation grant A COFFS Harbour business participating in the Charles Sturt University Innovation Hub program is the recipient of the NSW Government’s local Innovations District Challenge One grant of $10,000. The COVID-19 Research and Development Challenge is a collaboration between universities, CSIRO and local businesses. Challenge themes align with the NSW Government ‘Respond, Recover
and Reform’ approach to COVID-19, with an investment of $3 million. Grant recipient Emergisim in Coffs Harbour provides cutting edge virtual reality technology to deliver emergency training scenarios to prepare first responders for worst case scenarios. Emergisim founder Mr Michael Brewer said, “We’re excited that a bunch of paramedics and game developers could actually apply for something like this and be successful. “A massive shout-out to
the Charles Sturt University Innovation Hub team for all their help, it’s just as much their prize as ours. “We plan to invest the funds into the development of a digital platform that can capture, track and report participant performance against specific learning outcomes within the scenarios. “This will help individuals and organisations greatly as data captured can provide rigorous, detailed analysis of performance and highlight potential operational issues and training opportunities.”
COVID-19 R&D Challenge One centred around the theme ‘Respond’, for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which have a health or wellbeing innovation that could help reduce the negative impact on the health and wellbeing of people across NSW. SMEs in regional NSW were quick to step up to the challenge with the Charles Sturt Innovation Hub receiving a strong response.

Tech Help for Seniors Extended
Feedback from participants from the recently held sessions was that when they buy their device from a store there is no training or set up instructions so they can get stuck. Others who attended got help to load apps, help with emails and getting an Apple ID set up. There really is no limit and no question is too silly. So grab your device and feel the frustration subside when you get down to one of the new sessions.
By Sandra MOON
TECH issues can be super frustrating but you can get help with the four week extension of the popular Tech Savvy Senior - Be Connected Sessions at Coffs, Woolgoolga and Toormina Libraries. The sessions allow local seniors to get assistance with their tech issues from local high school students via a face to face meet up and trouble solving session. The recent sessions were well attended with many seniors bringing in their own mobile, tablet, laptop or phone.

Travel Industry Needs Your Help By Sandra MOON
THE travel industry needs your help and CEO of Regional Development Australia Mid North Coast Ms Kerry Grace spoke with News Of The Area on how Small to Medium Enterprises can help. With many operators supplying refund after refund and morale declining fast Ms Grace was approached by some travel agents and industry operators on the mid north coast about how tough it currently is for them. This became the inspiration to call on small to medium enterprises to outsource their travel needs and help keep this important industry afloat. “A couple of agents approached me and made it obvious how much they have struggled. “Pat Conaghan has also been lobbying for assistance for the travel industry in Canberra,” she said.
“I’m a strong believer in shopping locally with procurements in local business and it is really easy.” Ms Grace told News Of The Area, “The types of bookings you can make can be from a flight to accommodation; even a hotel booking in a regional community. “You can also consider booking more specialised things through your local travel agent such as retreats and corporate functions. “I am right now working with our agent to put together an accommodation package for our annual conference,” she said. “The more we do it the more we realise we can do it together. “It saves money and time and is done properly and is a

really easy win.” Ms Grace is so passionate in her response to the concerning downturns in the travel industry that Regional Development Australia has a commitment to work through travel agents moving forward in 2021. According to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Business Register there are twenty thousand, nine hundred and thirty six businesses on the Mid North Coast and seven thousand, nine hundred and ninety five of those employ between one and nineteen people. Ms Grace said, “For these businesses outsourcing travel arrangements can create critical cost and time saving measures.”

Dianne Weller returns to the Coast By David TUNE DIANNE Weller grew up on the Coffs Coast and has strong family ties to the region, her grandmother is remembered for planting the big pine trees at Moonee beach. Having completed her schooling through St Augustine’s and Orara High school, she set off to follow the career path that had been her goal since she was old enough to understand what that
q
was, performing arts. Her commitment to this path was evidenced by the fact that she was in every school theatrical production during her schooling and excelled in drama and singing, revelling in choir camps when they came along. The bright lights of Sydney beckoned, and after some hits and misses Dianne fell into singing classical opera, leading to work as a singing teacher, and connections that landed her a singing role in a movie. Securing a good agent saw her landing a role in the TV series Dianne Weller. Photo supplied
‘Water Rats’, which cemented her as a talent on the rise.
A move to London and temp work with the BBC and ITV led to work in a radio drama, then performances at the London Palladium and plays at the Theatre Royal at Bath. After meeting her husband and moving to his homeland of Belgium, Dianne found work in voice acting, and has been working in that field as a highly respected
www.newsofthearea.com.au professional ever since. Returning home to Australia with her husband and two daughters in March last year, just avoiding multiple international border closures by hours, she now resides on the Coffs Coast and still works to a European schedule. Of the Australian voice acting industry Dianne said, “It is very hard to find work here at the moment, possibly because so many Aussies have returned home due to the pandemic and agent’s books are full of experienced voice actors looking for work.” Not one to sit still, Dianne is working on plans to stage a Coffs Coast Arts Festival soon and has the backing and support of a wide range of local artists and creatives, and is in talks with sponsors and searching for funding.
Theatre community loses a luminary Long serving Coffs character in Shirley Barnett Coast community theatre
By David TUNE
SHIRLEY Barnett passed away in the early hours of Sunday 7 February at Coffs Harbour Hospital after suffering a stroke. She was a true stalwart of local community theatre, having presided over Coffs Harbour Amateur Theatrical Society (CHATS) for many years before slowing down in 2017 after directing ‘Frazzled’, which she wrote herself. Born in 1930 into a theatrical family, Shirley Broadway first performed on stage at the age of three and was known as ‘Australia’s Shirley Temple’ around 1936. Contracting polio at age seven, she went on to study drama at Melbourne Conservatorium, married at eighteen and later moved to Sydney in 1963. Shirley appeared as a comic performer in television shows 'In Melbourne Tonight' with Graham Kennedy for two
SCHEIB L E G A L
years and then on 'The Late Show' with Bert Newton for two years. She acted and began directing at Melbourne New Theatre and continued directing throughout her life, with over 30 shows produced in Coffs Harbour alone. After a twenty-year career as drama coordinator at Queenwood School for Girls, Sydney, she retired and moved to Coffs Harbour where she connected with CHATS and continued to teach and direct drama. Renowned for her attention to detail and in depth understanding of the script, Shirley also wrote shows that championed marginalised people in society, particularly women. Some of the many highlights of her time with CHATS were ‘MacBeth’ (2002), ‘Hamlet’ (2009), ‘King Lear’ (2012), ‘Mum’s The Word’ (2013) and ‘Mum’s The WordTeenagers’ (2015), and her final production, ‘Frazzled’.

As well as directing and being an active part of the management committee for many years, Shirley created and ran a youth drama school called ‘Chatters’ and was awarded an OAM in 2006 for service to the community of Coffs Harbour, particularly through theatrical arts initiatives for young performers. Current President of CHATS, Rex Madigan said, “Shirley was the driving force behind the group for many years, her determination, knowledge and work ethic is legendary. “The company wouldn’t be where it is today without her.” A memorial service is being planned for a future date.

Koala Park Study: Economic Injection By Sandra MOON THE spokesperson for the Great Koala National Park Steering Committee, Kevin Evans, has welcomed research findings by the University of Newcastle on the economic impacts of the proposed Great Koala National Park (GKNP), which forecast a 1.2 billion dollar return over the next fifteen years. The Great Koala National Park Economic Impact Analysis and Environmental Benefit Assessment research paper could be the boost the proposal needs to get endorsement to go ahead. The GKNP was originally proposed in 2017, stretches across five local government
areas: Coffs Harbour, Clarence Valley, Bellingen, Nambucca, and Kempsey. Mr Evans told News Of The Area, “The research demonstrates that the GKNP would make a significant contribution to the NSW economy and be a major job boost for the Mid-North Coast region just when it is so desperately needed.” He added, “The Coffs Coast region has stubbornly high unemployment, so it is heartening to see that the impact on jobs in our region was a major focus of the study. “The research found that the Park would generate more than nine thousand extra fulltime equivalent jobs across tourism, infrastructure, and science and education, equating to $330 million
in additional wages in the region,” Kevin Evans said. Researcher Robert Ryan agrees that the study clearly demonstrates a significant uplift in jobs and revenue for the Mid-North Coast region. The employment projections estimated the phasing out of approximately 675 direct and related forestry full time equivalent jobs over a 10-year state forest native logging industry transition period. Mr Ryan said, “The research found that the loss of jobs in the medium-term in the state forest native logging industry would be more than compensated by the creation of new jobs in the management of the national park and in eco tourism. “The research estimates conservatively that the Great Koala National Park would boost the tourism sector by an additional one million visitors to the region by the
over four years, including $9.2 million in 2021 to deliver short courses and national priority places with a focus on delivery to Australian students. The funding boost comes
at a time when the university sector has been hit hard by COVID-19 and is feeling the economic impact from the downturn in international students.

end of fifteen years who will spend $412 million,” he said. The proposed site for the GKNP, which includes two koala metapopulations, would protect an area that is home to around 20 percent of the NSW koala population habitat. According to the research, the GKNP would add one hundred and seventy five hectares of native state forests to existing protected areas and establish a 315,000-hectare reserve. Bellingen Shire Council Mayor, Councillor King said this is great news. Councillor King said the independent report provided the final missing piece of the puzzle as it supported the Bellingen Shire’s continued efforts to establish a sustainable koala population within the Shire’s state forests and the greater region. “The establishment of a GKNP in our region would
Like all universities, SCU was affected by the COVID-19 travel restrictions that began with travellers from mainland China on 1 February 2020, then for all foreign nationals, except Australian permanent residents, from 20 March 2020.

This includes SCU which is undergoing a major staff restructure. Federal Member for McPherson Karen Andrews, said the announcement of the

With golf popularity surging during COVID-19, Bellingen Golf Club has focused on golfing operations during the restriction period. The Bellingen Golf Club is in the magnificent hinterland of NSW’s Mid North Coast and provides a beautiful entrance to the township of Bellingen. Our course benefits from a magnificent backdrop featuring the Great Dividing Range and the banks of the Bellinger River. Our fairways are wide

and lush with mature trees providing shade which is truly a visual delight that is good for the sole. The course is a challenging 10-hole set-up, with alternate tees to make a round of 18 holes. The river runs alongside three fairways however there are few bunkers and just one water hazard, so it looks to be a very straight forward par 70. However, our greens are small and raised so you need to be on your game. We have Medley competitions on Thursdays and Saturdays and during daylight saving period we have a par 3, 9-hole short course available on Wednesdays.
All our competitions are open to all golfing visitors as well as members. We are a small club and yet our Men’s and Women’s teams are current district champions and we are always looking for new players and members.

To support this the club are looking for a Contract Caterer and an apprentice greenkeeper. “We are excited at being in a position to offer these unique opportunities which will generate employment in Bellingen and allow us to start encouraging COVID safe social opportunities which is at the heart of what Clubs provide to their communities,” Kellie said. To enquire about becoming a member, the Contract Catering or Apprentice Greenkeeper opportunities call the Club today on 66551312.
“We have been in a unique position where a major part of our business was booming during COVID and we could focus on golfing operations. “The Club is open for our social members during the day, but we have not been opening during the evening which we viewed as supporting the other food and dining businesses in town by not competing. “As a Club owned by our members, we have a social and a financial responsibility to our members and the Bellingen Community,” explained Kellie Lee, Club President.

THE Education Centre has been serving students from Coffs Harbour for nearly 17 years.

In our wait for our new premises in Coffs Harbour we have relocated to 24 Moonee Street, Coffs Harbour, The MBT Building or known as Federation House, for term one. This is comfortable for the first term and we are continuing
achieving great marks in their exams and feeling confident in many other areas as well. It really is amazing what one lesson per week, with a good tutor, can do for a student. Our Teachers and Tutors put a lot of work into preparing the individual programs for their students, they care

Others can help with HSC subjects like Legal Studies, Biology, Economics, History and so many other subjects. We offer face to face and online tuition or a combination of both. Our on line tuition is still of face to face value as the tutor is there with the student for the whole hour, ready to discuss any aspect of their tuition.

Public Trustee Wills FRED and Anne own their modest home jointly and each have $20,000 in separate bank accounts. After receiving marketing material in their letterbox from the Public Trustee (now the New South Wales Trustee and Guardian) they attend a consultation at the courthouse to make their Wills. Their Wills are prepared free of charge on the basis that Fred and Anne appoint the Public Trustee as their executor. When Anne passes away many years later, Fred seeks legal advice regarding her affairs. The solicitor advises Fred that their home can be registered in his sole name relatively cheaply. The solicitor attends to this via an online platform without delay and Fred soon receives a Certificate of Title stating that he is now the sole proprietor. Unfortunately, having the funds held in Anne’s small bank account released to Fred proves to be much more difficult. Because the Public Trustee is named as executor of Anne’s Will, the bank requires the Public Trustee’s authorisation to release the funds. Given the small amount of funds held in the bank, this process would normally only take a few weeks if the Public Trustee was not appointed as Anne’s executor. Fred contacts the Public Trustee and is required to provide them with various documents and information. Fred is confused by the process and requires the assistance of his solicitor. The solicitor helps Fred get the information together and forwards it to the Public Trustee. Despite Fred being in desperate need of funds, five months pass and Fred is still waiting to receive the funds held in his late wife’s account. If Fred and Anne had simply appointed each other as executors, these unacceptable delays would not have occurred. If YOU would like a particular issue addressed please email Manny at manny.wood@ticliblaxland.com.au or call him on (02) 6648 7487.

DEAR Jasminda,
In an effort to lose some weight, I’ve downloaded a calorie tracking app, but now I seem to spend half my day updating information to be accountable and I’ve lost no weight at all. Mrs Yvonne B.
An idea to counter homelessness DEAR News Of The Area,
I HAVE a good idea. Homelessness is a big problem in Coffs Harbour which has been made more obvious this week with the erection by Coffs Council of the fence around the Community Village.
Why not turn the current Council Admin building into a low cost hostel for homeless people and those seeking low cost housing? Come on Councillors some of you didn't listen to the majority of ratepayers over the unpopular Cultural Centre and surely you can
find some money for this sorely needed facility which will have a huge impact on people less fortunate. How about it? Show us what is more important- cultural facilities or somewhere to rest your head safely at night? Regards, Merrin Van Dartel, Sawtell.
Time for discussion on Entertainment Centre? DEAR News Of The Area, IT was 1989 when the Coffs Harbour City Council did a ‘property swap’ with the Coffs Harbour Ex-Servicemen’s Club. This was a significant and far-reaching somewhat ‘subdued’ property swap. For the mystified ‘citizens’ of Coffs Harbour, it involved the loss of a fine and substantial Civic Centre/ Entertainment facility, Coffs Harbour Council Chambers, Coffs Harbour Library, forced removal of the CWA facilities, and the then Baby Health Centre. It was the beginning of a burgeoning Coffs Harbour Ex-Servicemen’s Club and their extensive parking
facilities. Who would have thought that replacing our ‘Civic Centre’/Entertainment Centre would have been so time protracted? Who would have believed that a replacement ‘Performing Arts and Entertainment Centre’ could have been so overlooked? Who would ever have thought that ‘City Hill‘ ‘gifted’ for ‘Entertainment Purposes’ and, linking a large populated residential area to the south, could in the near future possibly carry a ‘FOR SALE’ sign? And, who could have imagined that behind the scenes, the C.Ex Club has been considered as the ‘suitable’ location for the future Performing Arts Centre? What is clear, is that the club wishes to provide ever-
increasing facilities that not only to enter into the retail CBD as a hospitality location, but prepares the Club to become the Mid North Coast’s replica of the ‘Twin Towns Services Club’. Yes, it will attract a gambling casino of a kind foreign to this area, and yes, it will build accommodation and possibly increased entertainment facilities. Does a club originally conceived for the benefit of Returned Servicemen, their families, their unique needs and services, need to enter so significantly into the City Centre commercial, retail, property development, and gambling world? At such a critical time of the City’s progress, maintaining its acquired ‘lifestyle’ credentials, managing its complex traffic and parking limitations, etc.,
OH, Yvonne, what is this mad world we are in where every move we make is monitored? You know, I think the problem is choice - too many choices in every aspect of our lives. This choice has now exploded into the need for an app to monitor, quite literally, everything. It’s like that Sting song - Every breath you take, Every move you make, Every step you take, Every smile you fake - the Smartphone is watching you and the smarter it’s getting, the more reliant and dumbed-down we are becoming. Scanning barcodes of every morsel that enters our mouths takes time, and it’s also a sedentary task with your typing finger being the only body part that’s getting a workout. Along with more monitoring choices, the last couple of decades have seen a huge increase in food choices. Compare the humble school lunch box. For my generation it wasn’t even a box, just a Vegemite sandwich and an apple in a brown paper bag. Today, kids have a bento box with a three course meal, much of it made up of salty or sugary snacks, muffins, fruit juices, triple-decker sandwiches and so on. It’s a wonder the kids can get on the school bus with the weight in their backpacks. After a few years of this, they’ll then have to join the app brigade to try and undo the damage. So, in a nutshell, I think sometimes to look forward, we have to look back. Put down the phone, pick up a bottle of water, and go for a brisk walk in the sunshine. No wellbeing or diet or exercise app will be able to match that. Carpe diem, Jasminda.
the citizens ought not be sedated when it comes to what is happening around them. Let’s have some discussion? Regards, Ken PALMER, Coffs Harbour.

Homelessness in Coffs Harbour DEAR News Of The Area,
By Mayor Denise KNIGHT Coffs Harbour City Council
A Year of Possibilities I THINK we all breathed a sigh of relief when 2020 finally disappeared below the horizon and I believe we’ve got a lot to look forward to in 2021, if we can keep COVID-19 at bay. We’ve already celebrated the first new tenant for the Coffs Harbour Enterprise Park – a tenant that will bring cost-effective access to high-speed broadband and cloud storage which will be a major boost for local businesses – just after we secured a very important lease deal worth nearly $500m for the future management of the airport. The long-awaited work on the Coffs Harbour Bypass is finally underway and we’re seeing major commercial and residential developments happening right across the local government area. 2021 is looking particularly positive in Woolgoolga where some major projects are starting to take shape including the beach reserve upgrades, the Whale Trail, the new swimming pool and the sports and community complex. Culturally, there are so many great projects happening – there is the Cartoon Gallery, the new D-Block Theatre at the CHEC campus which has a nearly 500-seat capacity, the Jetty Memorial Theatre is back with a fantastic live performance programme for 2021 and we’re continuing to work on plans for a future Coffs Harbour Entertainment Venue in the city centre. This is all in addition, of course, to the progress on the Cultural and Civic Space which will be a wonderful new home for our city library, Gallery and Museum, as well as being a fantastic learning centre for our youth and our thriving creative industries. Let’s not forget sport. The revamped - and totally awesome Coffs C.ex International Stadium will host the Cronulla Sharks versus Gold Coast Titans in March. This will be the very first time that Coffs Harbour has hosted an NRL Telstra Premiership Game and promises to be an absolutely brilliant night of football. As I said at the start of this Column, a lot depends on keeping COVID-19 at bay, so please don’t let your guard down. And please, please continue to support our local businesses – who are also our friends, neighbours and family members. We had a fabulous summer season, but with the visitors gone, they need our support more than ever!

LAST year because of my firm belief that the vast majority of citizens of Coffs Harbour vehemently opposed the inclusion of Council chambers in the Gordon street development, I took what was for me an unprecedented step to burn my rates outside the Council chambers. I informed the Council’s General
Thank you! DEAR News Of The Area, I HAD an accident on 19/1/2021 on the Pacific Hwy near the showgrounds, my car being a write off and thankfully I came out of it with just a cracked rib and tail bone
Manager that I would not pay my rates as a protest until the Council paused the development or the next election. Much to my regret the elections were postponed till September of this year.

Why not spend $200,000 providing funding to services which help prevent homelessness? I am stunned that my rates are being used on something like this! Regards, Lisa HOLLEY, Coffs Harbour. For the three Councillor’s votes and then our Mayor to use her casting vote I believe is a betrayal of our democracy and a failure of the implied duty of care towards the citizens of Coffs.

56 Joeliza Drive, Repton Price: $780,000-$790,000
THIS big, private residence has been home to the same family for about 18 years and is being offered for sale for the first time. Those wanting to stretch out, work from home or those with larger families will love the flexible floor plan, as will people who want rural-style living with easy, level access and room to breathe (or space to keep extra vehicles, boats, camper trailers etc). Positioned on the block to take advantage of both the sunlight and the tranquil, towering gums, the home also has wide wrap-around verandahs, which really suit the Aussie bush lifestyle. Entry is into the spacious open plan living area, which
fits a large lounge suite and square eight-seater dining table with ease. There's also a Eureka wood fire. The adjoining galley kitchen with walk-in-pantry has a lovely aspect out to the gardens and there's a family room beyond to set up a kids' play area or perhaps a homework station, to supervise the kids while you're preparing dinner. Those who work from home will love the fact the fifth bedroom is just beyond this space, allowing the ideal office zone while keeping the other bedrooms more private (the family bathroom is conveniently also on this level). While not having to share a bedroom is bound to keep the kids of bigger families
happy, the parents haven't been forgotten either, with a serene retreat upstairs. A bay-style window is the ideal spot to enjoy the tranquil tree-lined outlook, and there's a deck off here large enough for a bistro setting for your morning cup of tea. An ensuite and walk-inrobe complete the picture. Back downstairs and a spacious covered outdoor entertaining area is perfect for barbecues or entertaining friends, and the largely gravel driveway to the double lock up garage provides easy access to this area and beyond. Bring your van, trailer and perhaps kayaks for Sunday morning trips down to the Bellinger River at Mylestom.
PROPERTYWeek
The requisite tanks and garden storage sheds in this area mean you don't need to clutter the garage, there are two drinking water tanks of approximately 24,500 litres (6,500 gallons) and approximately 32,500 litres (8,500 gallons) along with a third tank for watering the garden which also has a fire
pump. Go for a stroll down the block (or drive your ride-on mower) beyond the bush and out into another open paddock at the rear. You're bound to be surprised. There's a lot more easily accessible space than you might imagine.
Designed to suit the block, this home still has plenty of scope to add your own personal touches, or simply move in, stretch out and enjoy the easy family living as is! View online at ww.unre. com.au/joe56. Contact Kim McGinty on 0432 953 796 or kim@unre. com.au.

HUGHESY, WE HAVE A PROBLEM

SUNDAY
MINISERIES: BANCROFT
7TWO, 9.30pm
A ruthless police boss with a dark secret, Elizabeth Bancroft (Sarah Parish, above) stunned viewers with the lengths she would go to in Bancroft’s season one finale. After a two-year wait, the second series opens with the murderous antiheroine at the height of her career, enjoying her reputation as a ‘good cop’. However, her success comes at a cost – she is estranged from her beloved son Joe (Adam Long) and endangered by her pact with a crime boss. When Joe is implicated in a double-murder, Bancroft’s personal and professional illusions come crashing down around her as she deals with a chilling new villain in Joe’s fiancée Annabel (Charlotte Hope).
Sorting out the world’s issues during a pandemic is no easy task, so it stands to reason that Dave Hughes has brought in reinforcements for the fifth season of his problem-solving panel show. Comedians Becky Lucas and Nazeem Hussain will join Hughesy each week to share the burden and help guests near and far sort out life’s little conundrums. The season premiere last week set the bar for some epic guest stars, with Tiger King’s Carole Baskin and Hollywood enigma Gary Busey Zooming in with their dilemmas. From mundane everyday dramas to the hot-button topics of the day, no drama is too big, or too small, for Hughesy and his team.
WEDNESDAY
HARD QUIZ
ABC, 8pm
The most refreshing quiz show on TV is back for another year of snipes, snarks and sass from Gold Logie winner Tom Gleeson (pictured), with plenty of new wannabe experts and returning ‘duds’ (any other show would call them ‘fan favourites’) set to test their knowledge and maybe even come away with the Big Brass Mug. The bizarre specialist topics just keep coming, from pipe organs and the Mitford sisters to Alfred the Great and Degrassi. Tonight, it’s all about history, drama and things that go ‘vroom!’ when Greek mythology-mad Tamara, SpaceX enthusiast Michael, Rake fan Megan and Holden Commodore expert Jason go head-to-head.

Coffs Basketball back for 2021 By Aiden BURGESS AFTER a COVID-19 affected season in 2020, the Coffs Harbour Basketball Association’s 2021 summer season has bounced back into action after it’s school holiday break. The women’s summer season got underway on Tuesday night with the men’s competition beginning on Wednesday night. The summer high school competition tips off this afternoon, while the primary school competition gets underway tomorrow morning. Like most sporting competitions, the Coffs Harbour Basketball Association’s competition was affected by COVID-19 last year. After playing only a handful of games, the competition was halted in March. The competition resumed in July with just one season instead of the normal two for the year. This year’s competition
is set to feature two seasons – a summer one which commenced this week and a winter competition which tips off in July. Paradise Island are the defending A-grade champions having lost just once last season. Robert Linton’s team finished runners up in last season’s A-grade competition. The local basketball identity has played professionally throughout Australia, and praised the standard of the Coffs Harbour Basketball Association’s competition. “I believe Coffs Harbour has the strongest senior talent on the North Coast,” he said. “Coffs has always been one of the strongest clubs on the coast, when you look at the success senior teams have had (both men’s and women’s) in the youth league and senior state league and Bellingen in the Sunshine league.” Linton told News Of The Area the current A-grade
competition was a competitive one. “The last season was

competitive with a good mix of teams,” he said. “There is a good mix of

By Aiden BURGESS FOUR years ago, the Coffs Coast Cyclones BMX Club had an ambition to improve their track to an international level. Now this vision is almost a reality thanks to the recent upgrade of the track. The track has been transformed with major works done as part of the overall upgrade. An upgrade which club director Heath Calder said was vital for the Cyclones to undertake. “It was November when they started work on the hill and they’ve really got stuck into it,” he said. “We now have a five-

metre start hill which is to UCI specifications and a world standard. “The first berm has been done and we have better viewing areas, and the race surface will all get redone. “The upgrade was due as we’ve become like other clubs and will now have international class facilities.” Calder told News Of The Area the track upgrade meant the Cyclones club could now host major events. “It means we can now host Australian events here and State Championships,” he said, “We’re expecting over 700 riders for big events which is good for the local economy.” Calder signified a number of factors that contributed to the funding of the track upgrade. “We received a grant for $500,000 from the Government and we had

After four years of preparation, Calder couldn’t wait for the track to finally be unveiled. “Everyone in the BMX community is excited about it,” he said. “It’s very exciting for the kids, and also having the new hill means our junior riders will be getting used to the bigger height so they won’t be as daunted when they go to other tracks.”

Sawtell FC: Where development is key By David WIGLEY
JOE Skrtic is the new first team coach for Coastal Premier League team Sawtell FC where he takes over from Jody Jenkins who moved away from the area. Skrtic has been involved in football most of his life as a player or coach and has lived on the Coffs Coast for fifteen years where he has accumulated a wealth of experience in local football. Skrtic has coached the juniors at Sawtell FC and coached at North Coast Football (NCF) in the Skills Acquisition Program and the National Premier League. Skrtic was last year’s assistant coach for Sawtell FC and is relishing the start of the new Coastal Premier League (CPL) season. “We started preseason a few weeks ago, we have a young side mixed with a few senior players and I am excited to watch them develop throughout the season,” said Skrtic.

6-a-side football progresses to the final rounds By David WIGLEY OVER 780 footballers played round eight of summer 6-a-side football at Forsyth Park as the competition approached the final rounds. The popular competition is played across six pitches starting with the youngest age groups at 4:30pm in the under 8’s through to the senior age groups finishing at 9pm. Myles Reedy from
Korora was first off the blocks as he opened the scoring with a penetrating run down the left with a composed finish against high spirited all girls team ‘Chicks with Kicks’. Father of Myles, Mat Reedy applauded the spirit and enthusiasm of the game. “It’s all about having fun and hanging out with your mates, Myles wakes up in the morning and can’t wait to play football,” said Mat.

Goodworth. “That said, the standard of football and camaraderie has been as strong as ever, everyone’s having fun, the only problem has been the rain in December where we missed two matches so we’ve extended the competition for two weeks, the two missed rounds will be played on 2 and 9 March and then the semis and finals on 16 March,” said Goodworth.

Sawtell and Coffs Colts win T20 titles By Aiden BURGESS
Gallichan then had the Rebels reeling at 2/13 as the Sawtell captain dismissed the two openers taking 2/12 from his 3 overs. Charlie Howard and Trent Dierick also took two wickets each as the Rebels were bowled out for 109 in the 19th over. Jesse Buckle also made an instant impact taking 2/4 in his 1.3 overs. The Coffs Colts also won a T20 title winning the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s T20 Cup.

Openers Richie Gallichan and Alec Baldwin got the ball rolling for Sawtell with an opening partnership of 110, as Baldwin smashed 51 off 40 balls while Gallichan scored 54 off 48 balls as Sawtell finished on 6/151 from its 20 overs.

The Colts bowlers needed to perform to bring the title home, and they duly delivered restricting Nana Glen to 5/106 from its 20 overs. Matthew Francis took 2/11 from his 4 overs while Scott Jennings took 2/18 from 4 overs. Colts captain Tony Slaviero praised the performance of his bowlers who held their nerve in the big game. “It was a great performance from all bowlers holding their nerve but especially Matt Francis

THE latest round of the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association’s first grade season was also decided on the weekend, as Diggers Cricket Club Inc. maintained top spot on the ladder with an 85-run victory against Nana Glen at Fitzroy Oval. Diggers opened the batting in their one-day match finishing at 6/202 as Mitchell Williams top scored with 46 while Ty Adams was next best with 40.

Aerobics world champion shares her fitness knowledge By Aiden BURGESS
THE chance to improve your fitness or find a new high energy sport to enjoy is here. And it’s provided by one of Coffs Harbour’s best young athletes. Coffs Harbour’s own sport aerobics world champion Brooklyn Leonard is sharing her knowledge of fitness at her new sport aerobics and personal training studio. The 18-year-old has opened B Wild Fitness with classes for those aged from preschool up to adult. Leonard explained there were many benefits to joining one of the classes. “Confidence, strength and fitness,” she said. “Improved coordination is another benefit and you’ll

meet a whole new bunch of friends as well.” The former Australian representative said running her own business at such a young age is something she’s really enjoying. “There are ups and downs and COVID-19 is the biggest obstacle but I love it,” she said. The new studio was a venture Leonard has tried to get started for a while now, but circumstances forced the student of another former Coffs Harbour world champion in Cassie Scully. “I was doing some classes at Sportz Central while I was looking for a place last year,” the pocket rocket said. “Nothing really popped out so I stopped looking.” Leonard is one of the most highly credentialed Coffs
Harbour athletes in recent years. In addition to representing Australia in sport aerobics, she is an 11-time national champion and 12-time state champion. She was named Coffs Harbour’s Sportsperson of the Year in 2015, the same year she won a silver medal at the FISAF World Aerobic Championships. The aerobics dynamo also has a Certificate III in Fitness and coaches and mentors young athletes.

The Northern Districts Rebels maintained second spot on the ladder with a seven wicket win against the Coffs Colts. Colts opened the batting in their one dayer at Coffs Coast Sport & Leisure Park and were bowled out for 115 by the Rebels, thanks largely to a super spell by Parvinder Nagra who took 4/17 from his 6.1 overs. Sawtell moved up into third spot on the ladder with a seven wicket win against Valleys Cricket at Richardson Park. The Sawtell bowlers restricted Valleys to 7/119 from 40 overs, with Scott Griffiths the standout taking 3/23 from 8 overs. Sawtell reached the total in the 23rd over led by Brendan Foote who top scored with 65.

Group 2 Rugby League pre-season draw released By Aiden BURGESS
IT’S been a year and a half since any Group 2 Rugby League senior matches were played due to a 2020 season
lost to COVID-19. But now the region’s rugby league players are set for a long-awaited return to the field next month. Tooheys New Group 2
Rugby League have released the draw for its 2021 preseason competition which kicks off on Saturday, 6 March. This year’s pre-season competition features nine teams playing over four rounds before a finals series in April. The 2019 runners up Coffs
Harbour Comets have the bye in round one, while the 2019 premiers Grafton Ghosts play host to the Sawtell Panthers. The Comets open their preseason with a local derby against the Panthers in Round 2 at Rex Hardaker Oval. The Comets and Ghosts meet in a rematch of their
2019 grand final at Geoff King Motors Oval in Round 3, while the Sawtell Panthers host the Woolgoolga Seahorses. The Seahorses begin their pre-season at home against the South Grafton Rebels. The Bellingen Valley/ Dorrigo Magpies take on the Macksville Sea Eagles in their
in last season’s grand final was the silver lining in becoming the head coach of her beloved club. “I injured my knee in last year’s grand final and have had to have a reconstruction so I can’t play in 2021,” she said. “When the club approached me about coaching, I was chuffed as I absolutely love the club and all the people associated with it, so wanted to stay involved.” The forward and top goal kicker brings some recent experience in being involved with the Breakers inner sanctum. “In 2019 I helped the Senior coach which was a chance to dip my toe in the water with an historically male dominated role,” she said. “Coaching is harder than it looks but I was ready for a challenge and to develop a new skill set. “I was worried about how I would be perceived
as a female co-coaching a senior men’s team however the guys have been very supportive and positive. “I look forward to a great year ahead with them.” The Breakers premiership player said women played a big role at the club. "The club has been great, very supportive of women's footy, the girls are such a big part of the club it's like a big family,” she said. Adams isn’t the only woman who will make AFL North Coast history this season. With the Lismore Swans set to join the AFL North Coast competition, the club will also bring the competitions first ever female president. Laura Cahill takes charge of the Swans this year as she becomes the first female club president in AFL North Coast history. Cahill first became involved with the Swans with the introduction of
the women’s competition in 2016. After starting in an operations role for the women’s team, Cahill moved into the role of club secretary for two years before the then president asked her to take over the head role. AFL North Coast’s Community Manager Paul Taylor told Coffs Coast News Of The Area women like Adams and Cahill continued to make an impact in local Aussie Rules.
“Women continue to smash the glass ceiling in local footy as this year AFL North Coast will have its first female President of a Senior club and first female coach of an open age men’s team,” he said. “That’s an outstanding achievement by the two individuals, and is also a fantastic reflection on how highly local footy clubs value the contribution of women.” Adams and Cahill continue what is becoming
Women make AFL North Coast history By Aiden BURGESS
THE start of the AFLW season has put the extraordinary feats of women in footy back in the national spotlight. And one Coffs Harbour woman has smashed through the glass ceiling to become the first woman to coach a senior men’s side in AFL North Coast history. Katika Adams will take the reins of the Coffs Harbour Breakers seniors’ side for the upcoming AFL North Coast season. Adams has been an integral part of the Breakers in recent seasons, captaining the club’s women’s side to a premiership last year, and assisting the men’s coach in the senior men’s premiership win in 2019. Adams first got involved in Australian Rules whilst living in Western Australia. She reconnected with footy when she moved back to the North Coast region. An injury whilst playing

Coffs basketballers connect on social media By Aiden BURGESS A GROUP of Coffs Harbour basketballers are connecting on social media to arrange their weekend social games. Coffs Harbour Street Basketball is a Facebook page where the region’s players can arrange to play by posting a time and place to meet. The group currently has 189 members who communicate on the private group page, with some keen members playing every weekend. The group normally plays at either Sportz Central or the courts behind Key Employment at West High Street. The Coffs Coast Street Basketball page was set
up in 2017 as a way for the region’s basketball players to arrange games when Sportz Central wasn’t available. The pickup games differ from competition games in a number of ways. Two-point baskets are worth one point and three pointers are worth two, and games are normally played to either first to seven points or first to eleven points. Players also rotate to different teams and the players call their own fouls. And while five on five full court games occur, if it is a lesser turnout then two on two, three on three, or four on four games are played. The page is also a facilitator for the Monday night Masters basketball played each week at Sportz
Central. The page’s administrator and regular player Ariel Pangilinan said the page has grown in popularity since its inception. “It was originally to get a group of four people together for a game of basketball,” he said. “The members grew from then.” Pangilinan said the regular games had a different vibe to the more organised competition games. “Absolutely, Wednesday night games are controlled by the refs and can get out of hand quickly,” he said. “Coffs Coast Street Basketball games are controlled by players on the court and are played more ‘honestly’.”
The keen basketballer said the Facebook page was a great service for the local playing community.

NPWS (the proponent) invites widerAboriginal community groups and/orAboriginal people who hold cultural knowledge which may be relevant to register their interest in the process of community consultation to: • Assist in determining the likelihood of risk to any Aboriginal objects, • Assist in defining the project methodology for conducting works across the site, The process of community consultation and subsequent outcomes are to assist the Chief Executive of Heritage NSW for their consideration and determination of any application. The details of any party registering an interest in the project will be forwarded to Heritage NSW and the Local Aboriginal Land Council, unless the party specifies otherwise.
