Backflip on building sale FROM Page 1

COFFS Harbour City Council has done a backflip on its plan to sell its Council administration building and Council Chambers for $7.25m to help fund the $81m Cultural and Civic Space (CCS) project, instead choosing to investigate turning the building into an entertainment centre. Council deferred a vote on the sale of the Council administration building at 2 Castle Street, Coffs Harbour at its last meeting on 8 July, due to a late offer for the building being received at 11am on the day of the Council meeting. The Council property comprises a two level commercial office building with basement security car parking. The proposed sale formed part of the funding model for the Cultural and Civic Space Project in Gordon Street, Coffs Harbour. Council staff had recommended that

Council proceed with the sale of the building at its recent meeting on Thursday 22 July. The details of the sale were withheld from the public in a confidential Council document. However, Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight, who has always supported moving forward on the Cultural and Civic Space project, did a backflip at the recent Council meeting and moved a motion to reject all sale offers and withdraw the building from sale until Council’s Scoping and Feasibility Study for the Coffs Harbour Entertainment Venue is reported to Council. “This building might be the preferred space, it might not be, but I think if we hold off, reject all offers at this point until we get the report back to make a better decision,” Cr Knight said. “I just think that waiting, having the report there, get it to Council and then move on.” Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath said that the Council administration building and Rigby House, another Council property in Duke Street, Coffs Harbour, “sit under Council’s

adopted funding model for the CCS project”. “If Council doesn’t sell 2 Castle Street then we need to resolve how we are going to repay the proceeds that were anticipated from the sale of this building,” Mr McGrath informed councillors. Cr Paul Amos agreed that Council should not be selling the building, but not only for the view to turn it into an entertainment centre. “We should not be selling this because we haven’t got a construction certificate to build this proposed building (CCS),” Cr Amos stated. “We do have to put in a modification of DA, we haven’t got a consent. “It’s very risky how we’re approaching this.” Cr Keith Rhoades sarcastically congratulated “councillor commonsense”, in regards to Cr Knight’s motion. “Can I finally congratulate councillor commonsense for becoming a member of q Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise this Council,” Cr Rhoades said. Knight has backflipped on the sale of “It’s good to see.” Council’s administration building and Mayor Knight stated that “it was not now wants to investigate its future as necessary to have sarcasm”. an entertainment centre for the region. Cr Arkan also spoke in favour of Photo: Coffs Harbour City Council.

rejecting the sale of the Council building and thanked Cr Knight for moving the motion. “I think this is heading in the right direction,” Cr Arkan said. “It is nice to see a rethink and a withdrawal because these times warrant that, it’s not the time to be hasty; it’s time to be wise, it’s time to be patient. “I know that the entertainment venue has been spoken about for many, many years, so maybe this is where it will go.” The motion was carried unanimously by all councillors to reject all sale offers and withdraw 2 Castle Street, Coffs Harbour from sale until such time as the Scoping and Feasibility Study for the Coffs Harbour Entertainment Venue Stage 1 is reported to Council. Council will also note the need to review the interim loan funding source for the Cultural and Civic Space project prior to its term expiry.

THE MID North Coast Local Health District (MNCLHD) have reported the Mid North Coast is currently COVID free and they want your help to keep it that way by getting tested, vaccinated and staying safe. “There are no local cases, no sewage detections and testing numbers remain high with five thousand two hundred tests conducted in the past seven days,” a MNC spokesperson revealed on Monday. There have been record numbers of people getting tested over the last two weeks for COVID-19.

The MNCLHD has experienced increased testing since the Bondi cluster began in mid-June but the numbers rose significantly over the last two weeks. To cater for the increase in demand a drive-through COVID-19 testing clinic opened last week at Coffs Harbour International Stadium to increase the District’s testing capacity. Mr Stewart Dowrick, Chief Executive Mid North Coast Local Health District said, “The Mid North Coast community’s response to the recent call for increased COVID-19 testing has been fantastic, with people

construction worker’s visit for work to the region, many have been asking the following questions. How was it that a construction worker from

Firstly let’s rewind to important dates in the last few weeks. On Saturday June 26 the NSW State Government announced a lockdown for Greater Sydney. Several weeks later on July 17 the NSW State Government announced all building and construction work in the Greater Sydney Area was to cease from Monday 19 July 2021 until midnight on Friday 30 July 2021. That included all nonurgent maintenance, cleaning services and repair work on residential premises. So there is currently a surplus of skilled construction workers in the Greater Sydney area simply unable to work and open to contracts outside the metropolitan area. But what are the rules then for COVID safety for these workers travelling to and working in regional NSW? According to the NSW government’s COVID 19 Rules for Greater Sydney Workers, “If you live in or are staying in Greater

The Mid North Coast Local Health District also encouraged people who are eligible to come forward for vaccination as soon as

Bellingen Labor Council Team focused on a safe community COMMUNITY safety is the number one issue to be addressed by the Labor Council Team vying for a position on the incoming Bellingen Shire Council at the upcoming local government election. Under Labor’s plan, council spending will be directed at prioritising safer roads, protecting waterways and farmlands from pollution, ensuring best practice on forest and fire management, and creating jobs to reduce crime in the area. Bellingen candidate for Mayor and Councillor Andrew Woodward said Bellingen Shire Council has a role to play in community safety. “There’s no greater job for government at any level than to protect its citizens from harm,” Mr Woodward said. “Our scarce road funding must be spent on blackspots and high traffic areas. “All available road funding will go toward fixing council-controlled blackspots first.” Mr Woodward said the Labor Council Team was committed to cleaning up local waterways and farmlands by establishing a new unit in council to act as a watchdog to ensure the Forestry Corporation acts within the law. “The days of the Forestry Corporation acting as it likes will be over,” Mr Woodward said.

“The watchdog unit will also ensure the Forestry Corporation helps protect the Shire from fire. “We’ll hold them to account and ensure that they put the safety of citizens first.” Mr Woodward said unemployment is a key contributor to crime in the area. “We have plans for creating

jobs in the Shire,” he said. “If we can get unemployment down, reductions in crime rates will follow.” Mr Woodward said addressing community safety was the first of eight proposals the Labor Council Team has planned for Bellingen Shire. The Bellingen Shire Council

and Coffs Harbour City Council local government elections, which were scheduled to take place on Saturday 4 September, have now been postponed to Saturday 4 December by the Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock, due to the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in NSW.

Local Government Elections postponed THE region’s long-awaited local government elections have been postponed once again, due to the current outbreak of COVID-19 in parts of NSW. The Office of Local Government stated that the postponement has been made in response to the “escalating outbreak of the Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus in Greater Sydney and the potential for further outbreaks in regional areas”. The NSW local government elections were originally to take place in September 2020 and were postponed for one year to 4 September 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic last year. Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock announced the latest postponement of the elections for three months from Saturday 4 September to Saturday 4 December over the weekend. Current councillors and mayors will continue to hold their civic offices until council elections are held on 4 December. News of the announcement quickly spread over local social media sites, with many members of the community angered and frustrated at the latest postponement. Coffs Harbour City Council was set to enter the caretaker period on Friday 6 August as the original 4 September elections approached, which would have seen the Council unable to make significant decisions such as determining controversial development applications and entering into contracts worth more than $150,000. The caretaker period has now also been postponed and will commence on 5 November 2021. Coffs Harbour City Mayor Cr Denise Knight said she was “disappointed” but not surprised by the latest postponement. “I’m disappointed for all the candidates because they were all gearing up to get their campaigns all organised, and for other councillors it’s another extension,” Cr Knight said. “I'm not surprised though. “It was always in the back of my mind that it was a possibility, particularly with the pandemic, but it is what it is.” Mayor Knight said she would be continuing to serve out her term until the new December 4 election date. “As far as I’m concerned I’ll keep going till the end of my term, I’ve always said that,” Cr Knight said. Mayor Knight said she would be phoning all the other councillors this

week to see where they were at with the announcement. “They have to get their head around this, like I did,” Cr Knight said. “It was quite a shock on Saturday night, and it took me a while to get my head around it.” Cr Knight and Cr Keith Rhoades had announced that they would not be running for the next local government election, and were preparing for their final two months on Council after many years. Coffs Harbour Mayoral candidate Tony Judge said it was “frustrating and disappointing for people who have put a lot of time into preparing for a September election, but it’s the right decision”. “Looking after people’s health and their lives is always the number one priority,” Mr Judge said. “I know that the virus is largely contained in Sydney at the moment, but we have had our own scare in Coffs Harbour this week and the rate of infection in Sydney is getting higher. “The risk of the virus spreading at a polling booth outweighs the benefit of holding the election on time.” However, Mr Judge questioned why the NSW Government had not prepared for an election during a period of COVID infection. “They have had a year since the last postponement to work on remote voting solutions, but they are still not prepared,” he said. “I just hope that the NSW Government takes the strongest possible measures to prevent the virus spreading to regional NSW and to bring it under control in Sydney. “In the meantime, I will continue to work with the Labor Council team to hear the community’s views, respond to the challenges ahead and prepare for a December election.” Mayoral candidate for Bellingen Shire Council Andrew Woodward and the Labor Council Team said they support the NSW Government’s decision to postpone the local government elections until 4 December, due to the public health emergency in Sydney. “We look forward to the longer than expected opportunity to talk to the community about our positive plans for change and progress in Bellingen Shire,” Mr Woodward stated following the announcement. “The deferment changes nothing when it comes to the issues involved; the need

for change and progress remains. “The current council should keep governing; make decisions and not hold off on any important or necessary decisions.” A total of 125 NSW councils will be holding elections on Saturday 4 December for the election of councillors. Coffs Harbour City Council and Bellingen Shire Council are also two of 35 councils across NSW holding a mayoral election, in addition to the election of councillors. Important dates relating to the December 4 Local Government Elections have now been made and include: ● 25 October Close of electoral rolls at 6pm - Candidate nominations open ● 3 November - Close of candidate nominations ● 5 November - Caretaker period commences ● 22 November - Pre-poll voting opens ● 29 November - Postal vote applications close ● 3 December - Pre-poll voting closes ● 4 December - Election day (8am6pm) The NSW Electoral Commission’s COVID safety plan for the NSW local council elections includes electors and election staff checking in and out of voting centres using the Service NSW QR code, anyone entering a voting centre must wear a face mask, electors are encouraged to

bring their own pens or single use pens will be provided to mark their ballot papers, physical distancing measures will be maintained, additional staff will be employed at voting centres to assist with physical distancing and implementing hygiene measures, and changes to voting eligibility requirements in order to mitigate COVID-19 risks including expanded eligibility for postal voting will be implemented and promoted. The postponement of the next ordinary local government elections will not affect the timing of future council elections, and the subsequent ordinary local government elections will still proceed in September 2024. Voting in the NSW local government election is compulsory. Promote your business.

Woolgoolga Lake pollution findings revealed

q A pollution breach at Woolgoolga Lake at the start of the month has been blamed on the Wiigulga Sports Complex site and a local blueberry farm. Photo: Woolgoolga Lake Working Group.

By Emma DARBIN AN investigation into a recent pollution outbreak at Woolgoolga Lake has been blamed on works at the Wiigulga Sports Complex site and an earthworks development at a local blueberry farm. The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has stated that it is working with Coffs Harbour City Council regarding sediment in Woolgoolga Lake, allegedly originating from an earthworks development at a nearby blueberry farm and the Wiigulga Sports Complex development. “Coffs Harbour City Council is the environmental regulator for the blueberry farm and is undertaking regulatory action in relation to sediment allegedly originating from the farm; this is understood to be the primary source of sediment in Woolgoolga Lake,” an EPA spokesperson stated. “The EPA issued Lahey Constructions Pty Ltd with a Clean Up Notice on 14 July 2021, directing the company to improve sediment and erosion controls at the site. “Lahey Constructions Pty Ltd has commenced improvement works which the EPA will continue to monitor.” The EPA is the environmental regulator for the Wiigulga Sports Complex Development as these works are being done by the Council. A Council spokesperson said Council has been investigating a property off Newmans Road, Woolgoolga which is suspected to be the primary site of concern.

“Staff from Council’s Environmental Health and Building Compliance sections have inspected the site several times since first being notified of the incident,” the spokesperson said. “Widespread failures were noted in regard to sediment and erosion control measures with sediment-laden water observed leaving the site. “Council has issued notices directing responsible persons to undertake a range of works to prevent further sediment leaving the site.” Council is continuing to work with

the property operators to prevent further pollution. Woolgoolga Lake Working Group secretary Karen Dallas said she was aware that Lahey Constructions has done “a lot of work in the areas that were in breach of EPA”. “Unfortunately what they have done now should have been done in the first place,” Karen said. The pollution breach occurred on 1 July following significant rain in the local area, and news of the breach quickly spread over social media.

Ms Dallas said at the time that sediment runoff can have a “severe impact on the lake and its environs”. “Sediment can clog fish gills, reducing resistance to disease, can lower growth rates, and affect fish egg and larvae development,” she said. “Construction sites, agricultural developments when large areas of land are being cleared and dams being built need to ensure that their erosion and sediment control plans are effective in ensuring that sediment laden water does not run off their sites and into natural waterways.”

NINE local groups are to share just over $40,000 in arts and cultural grants from Council that will bring new and exciting events, activities and learning opportunities to the Coffs Coast community. Council annually offers grants from $2,000 to $7,000 through its Arts and Cultural Development Grants program to help support the implementation of the ‘Creative Coffs – Cultural Strategic Plan 2017-2022’. “The program is designed to support

the enjoyment of Coffs Harbour’s rich cultural for people of all ages and cultural backgrounds – and every year the projects put forward are fantastically diverse and inclusive,” said Coffs Harbour Mayor, Councillor Denise Knight. “I’d like to congratulate all the grant winners for their creativity and commitment to the arts locally.” The 2021/22 grants are being awarded to: Gamumbi Early Childhood Education Centre (ECEC), Coastal Claymakers Inc.,

Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival, Friends of Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery, GenHealth, Woolgoolga Art Group, Coffs Harbour City Orchestra, Arts Mid North Coast for Screenwave and Toormina High School.

150 Years of The RSPCA By Sandra MOON

AS the RSPCA celebrates one hundred and fifty years of operation in Australia, News of The Area visited the Coffs Harbour Shelter to learn about the manager, some long term tenants needing homes and the impact of COVID-19. Nicole Balzer has been the Shelter Manager since 2018 at the shelter which has been open since the early nineties. Ms Balzer has been with the RSPCA for fourteen years at various shelters, including spending four years in the Blue Mountains as Shelter Manager, a little stint at Dubbo and eight years at Tweed Heads. Niclole loves the Coffs Harbour Shelter and said the locals do too. “It's a great location. “People like us out of the way as we get a bit loud,” she said. Like elsewhere the Coffs Shelter has seen an increase in the number of adoptions due to COVID-19. “There's been an increase in adoptions during COVID and we have been finding some great homes for our animals. “It is easier for locals to access the animals that are highly desirable at the moment because the queue is not as long due to the lockdowns. “Previously people would travel great distances to take advantage of our first in best dressed option.” The shelter needs volunteers and foster carers to take care of animals in the short term.

RSPCA NSW CEO Steve Coleman said, “We want to use the 150th anniversary to highlight the extraordinary people who help make our work possible. “We have thousands of dedicated staff and volunteers across Australia who make our mission a reality every day. “It’s truly a labour of love for all animals great and small, and what better way to highlight our amazing people than the RSPCA’s 150th anniversary.” RSPCA Australia, the national office of the RSPCA, has been working q Shelter Manager Nicole Balzer and Gloria. with a number of iconic Australian

They include an animal-themed version of the iconic cake and party food book, in collaboration with The Australian Women’s Weekly; a series of stamps to commemorate the anniversary, in partnership with Australia Post; and a limited-edition series of coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint – all of which will highlight the breadth of the RSPCA’s work. RSPCA Australia CEO Richard Mussell said, “We are a nation of people for whom animals hold a special place in our lives. And the RSPCA really holds quite an extraordinary place in the hearts and minds of Australians.”

Bellingen Canoe Adventures soaks up full moon By Andrea FERRARI

BELLINGEN’s number one Trip Advisor customer-voted tour in Bellingen, Bellingen Canoe Adventures, soaked up the full moon on Saturday night (24 July) with a group of paddlers. The full moon was overhead in a crystal-clear night sky, Jody Newhouse, cofounder of Bellingen Canoe Adventures, told News Of The Area. “During a full moon canoe tour, the canoes paddle using the light of the full moon to guide them on the river,” she said. “The ambient light allows you to see almost everything you would see during the day. “The nocturnal wildlife comes out to greet us and the stars twinkle. “The guide helps them paddle and also is extremely knowledgeable on the star constellations and planets in the night sky. “Customers are always excited and blown away by the sheer beauty,” said Jody. An Airbnb experiences review for July’s trip by Jason said, “I only said that it was a bit better than expected because I expected it to be fantastic based upon the experiential write-up. “I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bellingen or the surrounding area.” Chris-Neil wrote, “ (It) was great fun. “I was in a small intimate

John Brogden, Chairman of Lifeline Australia said, “We recognise that an increasing number of people will be struggling with isolation, separation from family and feelings of heightened anxiety. “The government

package will help Lifeline to meet the increased demand for our essential services during this time.” Mr Brogden added that it is important for NSW residents and those across Australia to know that Lifeline is here for them. “We want to reassure

Delivering more live music to Bellingen A GRANT of almost $50,000 will help create more live music at the popular Bellingen Brewery. The grant will be used to upgrade facilities and maintain systems to improve the live music experience at the venue. The $47,701.05 grant is part of round two of the Live Music Australia program. “The Bellingen Brewery remains committed to original live music with changes and improvements that promise to deliver a better experience for attendees and artists,” Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said. “This program is assisting live music venues across the country to re-open and rebuild their capacity

for programming activity once restrictions on public gatherings are lifted. “This continued support for local venues will see an increase performance opportunities and showcase Australian talent,” he said. While supporting local live music venues, the funding will also support local communities and economies as they continue to re-emerge from the pandemic. “I congratulate Bellingen Brewery on receiving this funding through the Live Music Australia program,” Mr Conaghan added. For the list of round two recipients and for information on how to apply for round three, visit: www.grants.gov. au or www.arts.gov.au.

Brelsford Park to get a nearly $5 million upgrade By David TUNE ON the morning of Monday July 26 Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan, State MP for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh and Coffs Harbour City Council Deputy Mayor Cr George Cecato

announced a $4,997,620 upgrade to Brelsford Park. Described by many people as ‘the jewel in the crown’, the upgrade will be guided by the CBD masterplan. Councillor Cecato said, “The process is obtaining

funding, addressing the masterplan and then seeking public input to find out what the community wants. “We want to enhance the natural beauty of the green outdoor space that will be welcoming to families and provide a great outdoor

space for our city.” While no detailed plans have been created as yet, it is anticipated that the park will include a small stage, an amphitheatre, two kiosks, picnic areas and a village green space, and facilitate activities such as the annual Christmas Carols. The funding has come from the Federal and State

Governments $500 million Bushfire Local Economic Recovery program, and a specific timeframe for the project has yet to be announced. The program is also providing $452,460 to the Exploring Coffs Harbour digital marketing initiative aimed at increasing tourism in the Coffs Coast region.

Some of the digital enhancements will include digital trails and itineraries to showcase tourism products; augmented reality products; digital skill development for local businesses. Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said of the two projects, “I am proud to see three levels of Government working together to enhance Coffs Harbour and stimulate the local economy in the current difficult circumstances.”

Council approves CCS loan By Emma DARBIN

FOLLOWING 50 minutes of contentious debate and another tied councillor vote, Coffs Harbour City Council will proceed with borrowing $50m to finance the controversial $81m Cultural and Civic Space project. A fixed interest rate loan will be entered into between Council and the Westpac Bank for $50.265 million over 30 years. Further project funding will be obtained from Council asset sales ($3 million from Council’s Rose Avenue properties and Coffs Harbour Museum), T2S contribution ($10.5 million) and an interim loan ($17 million). Cr George Cecato said it was “the right decision” and that Council could afford the loan. “I support this recommendation because, number one, we do have a recommendation of Council to build the building, we got a signed contract,” Cr Cecato stated. “This Council is known for delivering on big projects. ”The majority of the negativity against this project has been built because of misinformation, untrue information, and it is a real shame that we are devaluing such an important project because this is going to take Coffs Harbour to the next level.” Cr Cecato congratulated Council staff on securing such a great loan with a fixed interest rate of around 2.45% for the project. “The Council staff has secured a loan for 30 years, it's such a low interest rate,” he said. “That is an incredible achievement.” Cr Michael Adendorff was also amazed at

the quality of the loan obtained by Council and he espoused the value of cultural infrastructure. “This project is infrastructure, infrastructure makes communities stronger and better,” Cr Adendorff stated. “When it's cultural infrastructure such as this then it's sometimes hard to see where the benefit lies, but the reality is the benefit lies in our souls, it lies in what we are, it lies in what makes us human, so it's more valuable than any other types of infrastructure. “We’ve been waiting long and we've been patient, now is Coffs Harbour’s time to be proud.” Cr Paul Amos, however, stressed that it was wrong for Council to decide on the debt at what was the final meeting of the current Council before Council was due to enter the caretaker period prior to the local government election, during which it would be unable to decide on contentious issues or approve major loans. “I think it is just wrong for us where we’ve had five years of tenure, where we’ve had five years to put something in place, the very last meeting of our tenure we lobb the next Council with a $50 million dollar debt,” Cr Amos said. “They (the incoming Council) should have the opportunity to see how they are going to manage that. “I think it is the next Council’s decision, not this one’s.” Mayor Denise Knight combated Cr Amos’ comments by stating that the issue would have been dealt with earlier if not for councillor conflict over the issue. “It is unfortunate that it is at our last meeting, however, it wouldn’t of had to have been like this if we hadn’t had walkouts,

rescission motions, objection, division by the councillors,” Mayor Knight stated. “It would have been done a little bit sooner.” Cr Amos replied that Council had only lost one week of discussion on the issue due to a rescission motion. “There is no way in the world you can build any sort of argument that the conflict within this Council lost any more than one week,” he stated. Cr Sally Townley disagreed that it was wrong for the current Council to approve the loan now and supported Council finally taking out the loan for the Cultural and Civic Space project. “I’m happy to speak for taking out this loan to complete this project, it’s been a very long time in the making, this project has had far more scrutiny both externally and internally

than probably any other Council project ever,” Cr Townley said. “I know that for some people in the community the idea of taking on this debt seems insurmountable, but an examination of our financial position shows that we are in a position to pay it. “I do believe that we need to get this loan in place in our last period of decision making as this Council because we’ve got the contract, they’re out there digging right now.” Cr John Arkan spoke against the loan borrowing, particularly following Council's decision at the Council meeting to not sell it’s administration building and Council Chambers to fund the Cultural and Civic Space project. “Councillors, just the item before we changed a Council resolution of the civic project,” Cr Arkan stated. “That in my mind rings bells because funds that were going to come from these buildings might not come. “Circumstances have changed councillors.” Councillors were again tied 4-4 when they voted on the issue, as has occurred with almost every Council vote on the Cultural and Civic Space project, with Mayor Denise Knight again forced to use her casting vote to progress the loan borrowing for the Cultural and Civic Space project. Crs Denise Knight, Michael Adendorff, George Cecato and Sally Townley voted for the loan borrowing to proceed, and Crs Paul Amos, John Arkan, Keith Rhoades and Tegan Swan voted against. Following the vote, Cr Arkan stated his intent to submit a rescission motion against Council’s decision to proceed with the $50 million loan for the Cultural and Civic Space, if he obtains the support of fellow opposed councillors. As of Monday 26 July, no rescission motion had been lodged with Council.

The people have voted at Sawtell Gallery By Andrea FERRARI

PEOPLE’S Choice Award at Sawtell Gallery’s 33rd Art Exhibition has been won, and it is Raleigh resident Lisa White who takes home the community-voted award. Her piece, entitled 'HOPE' depicts an African child bearing an expression that conveys hope. “I enjoy painting portraits of African and Indigenous children; their faces have so much character,” Lisa told News Of The Area.

“I do portraits because people connect with the expressions. “Using newspaper and acrylics, I basically stuck the newspaper pieces on and painted the tones into the skin and features, trying to capture an expression that the viewer can read,” she said. Lisa also painted two other exhibits at the show: ‘Hello?’ which features a young African boy on the phone and ‘A message to Heaven’, which features a

Coffs’ Parul in the running for Connecting Communities Award By Andrea FERRARI

PARUL Punjabi Jadish, a Coffs Harbour resident, is a nominee in the Awards Australia’s Connecting Communities Awards for NSW. Parul cites Mandela, Gandhi and Malala as his leadership inspirations for his tireless work in various not-for-profit roles fostering strong resilient local communities in Coffs Harbour and ending educational inequity globally, to help uplift those on the margins. These ethics fit perfectly with the criteria for Awards Australia’s Connecting Communities Awards. To be a contender, it’s all about the nominee working with local community groups and/ or not-for-profits (NFPs) driving grassroots, real life initiatives that demonstrate genuine involvement, long-term value and add to the life of their community.

Parul told News Of The Area, “As CoFounder & Director of Coffs Connection & Community and LGBTIQ Coffs Connection & Community, we have been bringing together diverse groups and individuals in a spirit of celebration, empowerment and inclusion.” Segueing into what the award recognises, Parul’s leadership has seen these initiatives fostering a strong sense of community spirit, which plays a vital role in enhancing the way people connect in their community. “The NFPs have won grants from local, state and federal government and have delivered over 30 key community projects such as the iconic Freedom Feast as part of Refugee Week, Our Coast Pridefest, Science of Happiness programs and Peace Education programs with several local and global community organisations,” said Parul.

Discarded fishing tackle causing injuries to marine life FOLLOWING calls for help from concerned locals and visitors, WIRES Mid North Coast branch has rescued four pelicans in recent weeks all needing veterinary assistance to remove fishing line and hooks from their legs, wings and stomachs. Discarded fishing tackle is unfortunately a major cause of often fatal injuries to many of our river and coastal dwelling wildlife especially seabirds. WIRES Mid North Coast has a dedicated team of local volunteers who are trained to rescue and rehabilitate wildlife, however they were very grateful to have the support of vet Dr Duan March to help contain and rescue these huge birds. Dr March has extensive marine wildlife experience and is currently on sabbatical leave so was able to lend a much needed hand. However rescuing a wily pelican is never simple according to WIRES volunteer Tina Birtles. “We had to implement a strategic plan to gain each affected bird's trust offering small feeds of fish over the space of several days,“ said

Mrs Birtles. “Once we were able to get close enough Dr March donned his wetsuit and with expert timing and lightning speed he managed to contain each pelican with minimum fuss or stress. “He untangled the fishing

Fishing is great fun for the whole family, however WIRES ask that people take the time to collect all their fishing debris afterwards, especially any fishing line and hooks, before disposing of it in the council bins provided or taking it home to their own rubbish bins. WIRES would like to especially thank Dr March and Dr Neale for helping save and treat these majestic birds so they could return to their natural habitat.

A FIRST birthday is always an occasion for celebration, and this week your Coffs Coast News Of The Area is celebrating just that. From the first edition, which hit news stands on 31 July 2020, the Coffs Coast community welcomed News Of The Area with open arms. A year on, News Of The Area Director Mick Wright is delighted with his decision to expand News Of The Area’s coverage into the Coffs Coast. “What a year it’s been,” Mr Wright said. “We have been incredibly humbled by the community response to the paper and one year later are still super excited each week to produce a paper for our Coffs Coast readers.” When the Coffs Coast Advocate published its last printed edition in June 2020, Mr Wright saw a unique opportunity to bring a key community service back to the region. “Here at News Of The Area, we really believe in the power and the importance of independent, printed media. “We know how important a newspaper can be for regional communities and we are very excited to keep bringing the Coffs Coast

its source of independent, community news for a long time to come.” Client Account Manager Gaye Conway said she joined the News Of The Area team “determined to give back the community its voice”. “What an exhilarating, exciting and rewarding year it has been,” she said. Mrs Conway expressed her gratitude for the ongoing support of the Coffs Coast business community. “It would not have been possible without the support of our loyal and dedicated clients. “I personally want to sincerely thank you for your loyalty, professionalism and faith in a product we can all be truly proud of. “We will continue to offer you our best services and I look forward to working with you in the future,” Mrs Conway said.

especially connecting with the people of the beautiful Coffs Coast. “I have met so many kind, generous, interesting, and community-focussed individuals in my work, it heartens me to be able to share their voices, good works and fun events in the paper.” Reporter Sandra Moon said, “Over the course of the year NOTA has grown from a print run of ten thousand to sixteen thousand, the team has seen a few changes yet with most of the original writers on board, and the latest development being the establishment of the Nambucca Valley News of The Area. “We have listened to your tip offs and story ideas and even got the much requested TV Guide in our weekly editions. “Looking forward to the next twelve months! Reporter Emma Darbin said, “I have loved being able to tell the stories of the Coffs Harbour public over the past year and have enjoyed reviving my love of writing after having an extended break from newspaper journalism. “It has been lovely to see the excitement from the local community who have embraced having a local print newspaper once again, jam packed with local news stories. “Our newspaper reporters all live in different areas of the Coffs Harbour region and possess various interests which has enabled us to produce a weekly newspaper full of so much variety week in and week out. “It's so rewarding to receive positive feedback from the local community about our stories, and an even better feeling when you learn that your news story has made a difference to a local community group. “Thank you to all the community who have supported us along the way!” Sports Reporter Aiden Burgess said, "I joined News of the Area in December and it's been an absolute pleasure to cover sport in a region in which I grew up in and have spent most of my life."

Alleged breach of trust

Dear Jasminda,

PENNY, in her 80’s, has no children of her own. She is assisted with her housework, laundry and shopping by her niece, Diane. Penny tells Diane that she needs to go into a nursing home and asks her to arrange for the sale of her home. Penny signs an Authorisation to pay the whole of the proceeds of sale to Diane, which Diane delivers to the solicitor acting on the sale of the home. In accordance with the Authorisation, at settlement $500,000 is deposited into Diane’s account. Diane pays Penny $50,000 and uses the rest of the money to pay out her mortgage and fund an overseas holiday. When Penny finds-out about the holiday, she commences action against Diane, alleging that she held the $500,000 on trust and demands for the money to be repaid to her. It is argued on Penny’s behalf, that at the time that the Authorisation was signed, she was elderly and physically unwell and that she received no legal advice, but no medical evidence is put before the Court. Diane claims the money was a gift, and that on the basis that allegations of dishonesty are “grave”, that the standard of proof in terms of evidence had not been satisfied. In considering the evidence, the Court states that the evidence of both parties was unreliable, but at the end of the day, it was Penny who had the onus to prove her case against Diane. The Court ultimately rules that there was insufficient evidence to establish that any monies were loaned to Diane and that there was no evidence to establish that the monies were to be held on trust for Penny. Accordingly, Penny’s case fails. If YOU would like a particular issue addressed, please email Manny at manny.wood@ticliblaxland.com.au or call him on (02) 6648 7487.

The Reality of Covid Restrictions DEAR News Of The Area,

FOLLOWING the near hysterical outcome of the alleged breach of quarantine restrictions by a construction worker who is said to have attended a local hotel in Coffs Harbour last week, the question to be asked is how such an event could even occur when such draconian and, arguably, well known to everyone, restrictions on intra and inter-state apply? The potential for such events and even far worse to occur again may not be as rare as one might think. Currently as we all should be aware, restrictions are in place that limit the capacity to travel outside the majority of Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains and Wollongong LGAs. The imposition of those restrictions appears to be tempered however by what appears to be a measure of a double standard. According to the Premier, essential workers may still engage in work related travel. The Government has nevertheless steadfastly resisted calls to define what the term ‘essential’ worker means and it seems that term may be qualified according to what the ‘work’ entails. The common sense approach dictates ‘essential’ means something that is absolutely necessary to Pick one up today.

YOUR AREA. YOUR NEWS OF THE AREA.

sustain the activities of daily living. The problem appears to be however that rather than sustaining the essential activities of daily living, the definition is being loosely applied to anyone who has some fleeting attachment to the essentials of daily living rather than an actual need to be involved in that function. No one would argue that workers such as men and women that provide services to keep the community functioning during these difficult times are essential workers. However, it appears the term ‘essential worker’ is being interpreted as someone who has the potential rather than an actual obligation to provide absolutely essential services. No clearer evidence of this is the fact that a number of professional service providers are escaping the lock down restrictions simply on that basis of their profession. Doctors, for instance, are allowed to travel from inside the restricted areas to anywhere in the State regardless of whether they are actually providing an absolutely necessary service that requires them to travel. Rather than an absolutely necessary classification some professionals and

indeed other trades are using the term loosely to define the term essential worker based on a perception that their function is to provide an essential rather than an absolutely necessary service There is no argument that a doctor is required to be available when and if needed to provide treatment for sick patients. The line becomes a bit blurred however when doctors continue to see patients in regional areas despite there being no urgent need for them to do so. Equally some politicians, entertainers (football and sporting participants included) and other fringe ‘essential’ workers are avoiding the restrictions based on the misconception that they contribute ‘essential' services to our activities of daily living. I fail to see how an entertainer or sports person can avoid the lock down sanctions when they do not actually provide any absolutely necessary services to the community that can just as easily be provided at a time in the future when the current emergency has abated. Traffic in the Coffs Harbour CBD has hardly been affected by the Sydney and environs lock down and unless there is evidence that a majority of the traffic is from interstate, the borders to which are also under lock down restrictions anyway,

Slap in the face WHAT a slap in the face for the State Government to postpone our elections to December when they are well aware of how the majority of the people of Coffs Harbour feel about the council. All the letters and signed petitions have been to no avail. Is there another agenda

here? Bring on the State Government election and we’ll make sure the LiberalNational party are out and we have a representative that looks after Coffs Harbour residents.

Dear Mrs DP,

Mrs DP

Okay, now let’s not jump to conclusions here. A fingerless net glove conjures all sorts of difficult-to-explain scenarios, but this could be entirely innocent. You know, maybe he had to do a role play in his marketing job, and he was given the card that required him to wear suspenders, gloves and a masquerade mask, because the company was testing the market on a new range of . . . um . . . Or maybe he was watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and just, you know, getting involved in the ‘Don’t Dream It, Be It’ sequence. No? Okay, maybe he was doing an experiment, like, ‘Do mosquitoes penetrate body netting?’, because he is going to patent a new range of pesticide-free mosquito products. If he had bites on his fingertips, but not the rest of his fingers, he could be onto something. No? Maybe he just likes fingerless net gloves, and who are we to question that, Mrs DP from Lemon Tree Passage, because with that very long road into Lemon Tree, sometimes you need a bit of amusement. Things can get a bit boring on that straight stretch. I wouldn’t be too worried. I’m more concerned that you are still putting away your husband’s socks and underwear. Do you iron them? Do you fold them in neat Marie Kondo space-saving combinations? Do you colour-coordinate? Does he have the days of the week on his socks and undies? This is 2019, you know. Let him put his own things away and then you’ll be none the wiser. Carpe diem Jasminda

one has to question whether the current lockdown is effective. It is also noted that an aircraft recently left Sydney to fly to Balina with an infectious passenger on board. Seriously, unless the aircraft was carrying only emergency workers, questions must be asked about the wisdom of allowing a plane full of passengers either from, or transiting a red zone to fly? As we have seen it only takes one person (the current outbreak of Covid can be traced back to the limousine driver who picked up an infected air crew member back in early June 2021) to start the spread of the disease which has now seen four states impose quite severe travel restrictions. Based on that and the continuing failure by our erstwhile politicians to manage an effective vaccine strategy, one has to ask the question why, if it is so easy to spread the virus, anyone who does not have an absolute necessity to do so, in order to maintain the activities of daily living, is permitted to travel. Surely travel should be restricted to only those whose need as a matter of emergency! Regards, Robert HARRIS, Sapphire Beach.

Council Column: Work to Begin Soon on Bike Lane Pilot By Coffs Harbour City Council

THE installation of a trial of a protected, on-road bike lane along Clarence and Beach Streets in Woolgoolga is scheduled to begin next month. The bike lane will be installed between the existing pedestrian pathway and on-street parking spaces on the northern side of the roads.

It will take about three weeks to lay out the lane. This is a pilot project and Council will monitor usage of the bike lane, ask the community for feedback on its effectiveness and also for ideas to make improvements to this type of facility. NSW Planning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes said the Woolgoolga Bike Lane was funded through the Streets as Shared Spaces

program, which is funding councils across the state to trial new and innovative ideas for streets as safe, shared public spaces. Council has received $555,000 in funding from the program for Woolgoolga. “It’s great to see so many councils keen to provide more public open space for their communities, while revitalising their local economies and beautifying their streetscapes,” said Mr

Stokes. To accommodate the bike lane, there will be some changes to angle parking on one stretch of the north side of Beach Street between Boundary Street and Wharf Street, which will become parallel spaces. While around 40% of the current angle spaces will be removed, there is adequate available parking spaces available within 50m-100m of this stretch

Never too late for change DEAR News of the Area,

WITH the up and coming Council elections it will be interesting to see which candidates for Council will have the courage to change the direction of the Cultural Centre and apply for "Change of Useage" altering the design to incorporate

a Performing Arts Centre of Excellence to replace Council offices (it is not built yet). This candidate may be assured of at least 15,000 votes. This 1000+ seat venue would adequately meet the current demand for Eisteddfods, theatre

performances, both international and local. Weekly dances and live theatre would make this venue financially viable and help with the debt that the ratepayers of Coff Harbour have been lumbered with. We are currently overloaded with sports venues, but nothing is

available for evening entertainment for youth other than alcohol which eliminates those under 18 years of age. Bookings could be taken all year which would bring people of all ages to the venue to enjoy undercover live entertainment which would have the right acoustics and

which have very low usage rates. Council is also currently drafting a Car Parking Management plan for the town centre as part of the Woolgoolga Place and Movement Plan. This is planned to be exhibited for community feedback later this year. To help develop this plan, Council has been monitoring car parking use in Woolgoolga over the last four years including detailed counts of existing spaces and the hourly use of these spaces to

up-to-date technical sound system. As I mentioned before, a rooftop ‘Fine Dining Restaurant’ would put a candle on the cake. Don't be fobbed off by the offer of a youth centre in the present Council Chamber building which is supposedly now unsuitable for Council staff. I can't see where Council has the ability to dictate what

help understand regular parking patterns. The survey counts show there are about 450 spaces within a two to three-minute walk (about 200m) from the shops. At peak periods, normally around 10am, this is only about 70% full. Or, put another way, the majority of people who park at peak periods are within a 1-2-minute walk (100m) from the shops. The draft Car Parking Management plan also identifies where additional parking will be supplied as the town develops.

their present building can be used for if sold for $74M. If it's not good enough for Council it's not good enough for you. "He who denies others denies himself nothing." Will you be waiting another 20 years for your Performance Centre? Regards, Freda PATTERSON, Boambee East.

Free Stress Support By Sandra MOON

DOES the thought of a possible lockdown send your anxiety through the roof? Many across the Coffs Coast spent the last week wondering just how we would manage if it happened again. Looking back over the last year there have been many additional stressors put on individuals and families. Some in our community managed to work from home, school their children and run a household. Others had to adjust to a reduction or loss of income and struggled to make ends meet and were supported by government safety nets and charities. So the Coffs Coast is lucky to have two new services available to help support people suffering from anxiety, stress and low mood. Healthy North Coast, in partnership with Remedy Healthcare, has announced that Remedy Healthcare will deliver two new programs to support people over sixteen to improve their mental and emotional wellbeing, especially people experiencing isolation, and those in rural and remote locations.

Helping communities Extension to be sought on through culture and Woolgoolga Whale Trail language challenges project By Andrea FERRARI

THIS week, National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Support Coordinator Sahar Abdelrahman has been busy helping local people in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities translate and understand official COVID-19 news and updates. "Helping people in my community thrive is what gives me purpose in my work," Sahar told News Of The Area. For Coffs Harbour local Sahar, her job is personal. Born and raised in Egypt, Sahar and her son came to Australia in 2012 as humanitarian refugees. This has given her a unique insight into her work with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities. In her work, she helps NDIS participants from both English and CALD backgrounds to understand their funding and connect with services and supports in their local area. “My first client was a young teenager who was non-verbal and living with significant intellectual disability,” she said. “His parents and family had just arrived in the area as refugees and had very little English. “They had lost another child who had similar disabilities and were trying to get their son medical help. “It was difficult for them to navigate the healthcare system and understand what kind of supports were available to them. “They were reserved and didn’t know they had choices and could be a voice for their son.” Sahar was able to work with the family to communicate and connect to medical support at the hospital, including OTs, therapists and support workers as well as access to a

wheelchair and other mobility equipment. When Sahar herself arrived in Coffs Harbour she experienced first-hand the challenges some of her clients faced. Living in a neighbourhood with no Arabic speakers and only basic English, she took every opportunity she could to improve her language skills. “My neighbours were amazing,” she said. “They were Australian and would often invite us to the traditional backyard BBQ. “I would sit amongst them with my English textbook and listen to them speak, picking up words and practicing my pronunciation through conversation. “Now I help other refugees find their voice.” “Helping people in the CALD community realise their own capacity for self-determination has brought me full circle.”

Coffs woman takes home $5 million lottery win

A COFFS Harbour woman who won $5 million in Tuesday night’s Oz Lotto draw has confessed she always knew she was going to win, so she wasn’t too surprised to receive the winning call this morning. The New South Wales woman held one of the two division one winning entries across Australia and has walked away with an incredible $5 million. Speaking with an official from The Lott, the north coast woman said she had been waiting for her division one win for years. “Oh my god! Thank the lord,” she laughed. “I hadn’t checked my ticket yet. I had absolutely no idea! I am blown away! “I have been telling people for ages that

I was going to win Oz Lotto one day. "I really, really knew I was going to win! When asked how she planned to enjoy life as a multi-millionaire, the jubilant winner said she was overwhelmed by the possibilities the prize presented. “I am going to pay off the mortgage,” she explained. “It’d be nice to do some small trips around Australia too. “I will share it with my family, and I will do something to spoil myself. "I really can do whatever I want now!” The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her life-changing marked 5-game entry online at thelott.com.

AN extension of time to complete the $1.1m Woolgoolga Whale Trail project will be sought by Coffs Harbour City Council following community concern over safety issues at a section of the proposed whale trail. Cr Tegan Swan moved a motion at Council’s meeting on Thursday 22 July that Council request more time for possible changes to be made to the project, following community concern over safety issues at the Carrington Street/Pollack Esplanade corner of the project. “In fairness to all the people who have put in so much work to this and also for our own peace of mind as well that we’re willing to just do this one step,” Cr Swan said. “It is so important, however this project ends up coming to fruition, we are one of only 11 sites around Australia who have this whale trail. “Nature-based tourism is exploding and this is actually an asset, not just for the Northern Beaches, but for all of Coffs Harbour.” Cr Sally Townley said she was “happy to support a relook at it” but stated that Council’s concept plan for the Woolgoolga Whale Trail may still end up being the final plan after both Council’s plan and the community’s plan are reassessed. Kath Puddey spoke at the recent Council meeting in support of the community plan for the Woolgoolga Whale Trail on behalf of the Northern Beaches Residents Association. Ms Puddey said there were “two sticking points” with the project along Pollack Esplanade and Carrington Street at Woolgoolga, with pedestrian and cyclist safety an issue. The Association is calling for the construction of a two-metre raised boardwalk through the bush on the Pollack Esplanade/Carrington Street corner to ensure community safety in this high traffic area. “The corner of Carrington Street is a real challenge, but safety is our priority,” Ms Puddey stressed to councillors. “Let’s relook at it and relook at that corner, the corner is the sticking point. “We want to be sure that we get people safely up Carrington Street.” Ms Puddey said the future Woolgoolga Whale Trail would provide opportunities for education and health benefits. “It needs to become a town asset,” she said. “Let's do it right people, let’s step back, let’s take time to reevaluate this. “We’ve worked on this for five years, let’s get it right.” Pollack Esplanade resident Joanne Grainger also spoke at the meeting on behalf of Pollack Esplanade and Carrington Street residents, and

described to councillors the safety issues at the Pollack Esplanade/Carrington Street corner. “As local residents, we walk, we cycle, we drive this area every day,” Ms Grainger said. “We’ve got a 90 degree corner. “At peak times we have surf club events, we have community events and Carrington Street and that whole area becomes a car park, so we have cars everywhere.” Ms Grainger called on councillors to be proactive and forward plan. “We have a responsibility to make this a safe environment for everybody to enjoy,” she said. “The old adage ‘do it once and do it well’ couldn’t be more appropriate here. “Let’s have our priorities right and put people’s safety above all else.” Council unanimously resolved for Council to write to Infrastructure Australia (the funding agency for the Whale Trail project) to request an extension of time for changes in project delivery timelines and deliverables, and in the event that the extension is granted that Council create concept drawings of possible path alignment options and put these on public display, and pending path alignment chosen, undertake relevant environmental and engineering studies and bring the proposed path back to Council for determination. The Australian Government’s National Whale Trail initiative identified Woolgoolga Headland as a key site in 2015, one of only eleven in Australia. The aim of the Whale Trail initiative is to develop a national whale watching network to encourage knowledge sharing among locals and visitors on the habits of migratory whales and coastal conservation. Council prepared a concept plan for Stage One of the Woolgoolga Whale Trail, linking the Woolgoolga Beach Reserve to the existing Solitary Islands Coastal Walk on Woolgoolga Headland. Stage One will be funded by a $1.1million Community Development grant through the Commonwealth Government Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications. The Woolgoolga Whale Trail project is currently required to be completed by 30 November 2021.

THE COOK UP WITH ADAM LIAW

SBS FOOD, 7pm

When it comes to saucy TV shows on Aussie television, perhaps Love Island, Bachelor in Paradise or even Outlander might spring to mind… but tonight it’s chef Adam Liaw who’ll leave viewers wanting more. He’s joined in the kitchen by radio personality Yumi Stynes and Benjamin Law (The Family Law), who are showcasing their favourite sauces. If the pair’s earlier appearances are anything to go by, the condiments conjured up in this episode are sure to be tasty, simple and the perfect accompaniment for any dish.

They say that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, and the surprising connections between the geeky guys and gorgeous gals on this Lego Masters-meets-Love Island reality series really have proven that. But let’s be honest, all viewers really want to see is what potential lurks behind the geeks’ Star Wars T-shirts and overgrown beards. As such, Nine have cleverly stretched the series’ makeovers over three Sunday night specials. Tonight, the pairs take on a public challenge, providing the half-time entertainment at the footy.

Nominations for Environmental Volunteers By Andrea FERRARI

NOMINATIONS are now open for Department of Planning, Industry and Environment NSW/ACT Community Achievement Awards 2021. It’s an opportunity to recognise and celebrate excellence in local environmental volunteers in the Individual Crown Land Management category. Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh encouraged local volunteers who help manage Crown land to nominate for the awards. “Nominations are open until 11 August for the outstanding community boards (Crown Land Manager Excellence Award); and the Individual Excellence in Crown Land Management

Award to honour outstanding individual volunteers,” he said. The volunteer role sees people of all ages providing a range of support services such as gardening, weeding, minor repairs, fund-raising including running stalls, administration and visitor information roles such as guided tours and selling entry tickets. The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment said the Individual Excellence in Crown Land Management Award “recognises an individual volunteer involved in the management of Crown land who exemplifies outstanding community service ethos, dedication and commitment to their communities”. One such volunteer is central Coffs Harbour resident

Elisabeth Edwards. Elisabeth has volunteered with Friends of Coffs Creek, which is part of Coffs Harbour Regional Landcare, for sixteen years and said she derives a great sense of achievement from this work. “It’s very rewarding when you’ve done a lot of weeding and then, with the space and sunlight getting in, nature works its way and soon you see the native seedlings popping up,” Elisabeth told News Of The Area. “Our ‘patch’ is a nineand-a-half kilometre stretch along the creek including both banks, east of the Highway. “Most of this is Crown Land. “Primarily we’re a weeding group so we move along various sites by the creek

which makes it interesting. “We also clear rubbish – 2,500 kilos in one year, most of which was down in the mangroves.

A STRATEGY to help protect and celebrate the Aboriginal and European history of the Coffs Harbour area has been endorsed by Council after public consultation. “While the planned conservation of local Aboriginal cultural heritage, our industrial history and early periods of European settlement is extremely important, looking after our shared history also reinforces our sense of continuity and belonging as a community,” said Ian Fitzgibbon, Council’s Group Leader Sustainable Places. Heritage items include buildings, sites, relics, heritage landscapes, local streetscapes, cemeteries, archaeological sites, industrial heritage sites and movable items. In partnership with the NSW Government’s Heritage NSW agency, Council also operates

“We’re always looking for volunteers to join us – Friends of Coffs Creek welcomes all ages and abilities – and once you know half a dozen weeds

a Local Heritage Fund to assist the owners of heritage-listed sites in the general maintenance and care of their properties. A Heritage Strategy has been operating for the Coffs Harbour City Council local government area since 2003 and its work is supported by a Heritage Advisory Committee. Since 2003, the strategic approach adopted by Council has been instrumental in establishing a series of popular heritage trails and promotional brochures. The State Heritage Listing of the Coffs Harbour Jetty, First Sikh Temple in Hastings Street, Woolgoolga, and nomination of State Heritage Listing for the Arrawarra Fish Traps and the Ulong Sawmill are also the result of previous heritage strategies.

Your rights when it comes to repair By Andrea FERRARI

GROWING community concern that repairing everyday products is getting harder and costlier for consumers, has driven the Australian Government Productivity Commission to prepare a report on consumers’ ‘right to repair’. General public were invited for their input by 23 July, with the draft now being prepared for delivery to the Australian Government. The issue is that such items as mobile phones, tablets and agricultural machinery are required by warranty to be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer only. Damon Laverick at Coffs Computers, an independent repairer on Harbour Drive, told News Of The Area, “When a customer brings their iPhone to us as a certified Apple repairer we do a report and order specific parts to do the repair. “This can take three to five working days. “If you have a Samsung phone you have to send it to Samsung and wait maybe two weeks to get it back.” The draft ‘Right to Repair’ report outlines measures including: to require

that manufacturers provide independent repairers and consumers with access to repair information, tools and/or spare parts. Another is to change copyright law to allow independent repairers to legally access and share repair supplies such as manuals and software diagnostics. It also proposes requiring manufacturer warranties to clearly state that if consumers use independent repairers, they will not lose their legal rights to the consumer guarantees, even if the manufacturer ‘voids’ the warranty due to independent repair.

you can do an awful lot of good,” she said. Fancy volunteering? Have a chat with Elisabeth on 0400 579426.

Strategy in place also allows Council to apply for funding for heritage projects from the NSW Government. The Coffs Harbour Heritage Strategic Plan 2021-2024 proposes: ● the continuation of the Heritage Advisory Committee; ● the identification and review of potential heritage items; ● the continued production of heritage brochures; ● the continued administration of the Local Heritage Fund; ● the continued production of themed heritage trails; and ● the promotion of cultural heritage awareness. A copy of the Coffs Harbour Heritage Strategic Plan 2021-2024 will now be forwarded to the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet (Heritage NSW).

q Right to Repair report supports consumers. at CHOICE told News Of The Area, “People should be able to use a repairer of their choice and companies shouldn’t be allowed to stop this choice. “It’s especially important for people outside of major cities such as Coffs; with only one authorised Mac repairer in Coffs

and the nearest Apple store being on the Gold Coast. “We also want to see manufacturers make it much clearer to consumers that they are often owed much more than their warranty covers - such as a repair, replacement or refund under the Australian Consumer Law.”

Bush edibles workshop by Jake Cassar By Andrea FERRARI

BUSHCRAFT teacher and vocal environmentalist, Jake Cassar is bringing his Native and Edible Medicinal Plants crash course to Bellingen in September. The passionate environmentalist is driven by an urgency to educate people on taking action and doing rather than just talking about a connection with nature. “My goal in these workshops is to inspire people, especially young ones, to move away from tokenism and towards

becoming custodians of the land; to take action and learn how to live with and off the land sustainably,” Jake told News Of The Area. “They’ll learn what they can eat in the bush; the focus for this course is predominantly plantbased. “Australia’s got rich and diverse flora and native superfoods such as the yam, which is full of vitamin C. “Bush food does incredible things to your body,” said Jake. “I eat vitamins A to K off the land; when I go into the bush, I lose

excess weight and my skin changes…people do a double-take…one reason is eating the Illawarra Plum which is four times higher in antioxidants than blueberries, and we can eat it straight from the tree.” Conversation through the course will cover ways people can forge a mutually beneficial relationship with the land, valuing nature and fresh water. “This is not fluffy newage, this is about hard work, discipline and sacrifice to create a resilient, kinder community; working with Aboriginal elders to create a mutually beneficial relationship with the land and its inhabitants.

Buck Moon beams out By Andrea FERRARI

SATURDAY’S Buck Full Moon drew ogling crowds on a crystal clear night on the Coffs Coast. Andrew Jacob, Curator, Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences/The Observatory in Sydney, told News Of The Area, “Not sure how it was at Coffs but it was windy down here. “Due to the internet dominance of the USA, Native American names are prominent, and July's full moon was called a Buck Moon according to some sources - for the time when deer develop their new antlers.

“In England it may have been a Thunder or Hay Moon. “However, despite being England-born I've never had a tradition of using these moon names myself. “Obviously, these names don't suit us in the southern hemisphere with our different seasons and unique wildlife. “We need an Australian name set, or several perhaps for the varying environments across the country. “I don't know of any names that are agreed upon here… but maybe we could start with Frost Moon or Ice Moon for July - that certainly suits the weather we experienced on the weekend.”

Trevor Wright, sharing his full moon photos on Coffs Harbour Weather Watch told News Of The Area, “I’ve always been keen on photography and especially the heavens, with super moons, stars and the Milky Way being a favourite. “Sunsets and animals, too. “The night was chilly and the water was flat enough to give a great shimmer. “I share my time in between Dondingalong on a property and Coffs Harbour as my partner, Linda, lives here in Coffs. “We often take blankets, food and drink and make a few hours of it…star-gazing.”

The Magic of Automobiles By David WIGLEY STEVE and Judy Woods shared in the magic of automobiles with their 1948 MG TC at last

week's launch of the Coffs Coast Festival of Motor Sport. Steve fell in love with the MG TC from the age of 16 and 56 years later it remains Steve

and Judy’s pride and joy. “I bought the car in 1965 when I started my first job for a cashier company aged 16. “My mum came home from work and said a girl at the print shop is selling a car so we went to have a look and I fell in love with it. “It cost 150 British pounds, that was the currency back then, I didn’t have enough

“The bush was a real saviour to me in my colourful youth which is why I have a passion to take my work out to young people especially.” Jake will run a 1.5 hour presentation followed by a bushwalk on the beautiful and diverse lands at Shambaba Retreat (The Old Satyananda Ashram).

Judy Woods affectionately calls the car ‘Tic’ which has been the source of so many memories over almost six decades. “Steve was driving ‘Tic’ when we first started courting, that was fifty odd years ago, we used to put our three children in the back and drive around, things were different back then, we have so many great memories from this car. “I called it ‘Tic’ because it makes a ticking sound when you turn the key, it still runs really well, we went to Nana Glen for a picnic in ‘Tic’ last week,” said Judy.

There are 12 Motorsport events from Grafton to Kempsey over three weekends which starts with the ‘Massive Motor Show’ on Saturday 13 November that will have everything from a 1948 MG TC to Hot Rods as Coffs Coast Festival of Motor Sport President Bob Carle explained. “There will be over 400 vehicles on display including vintage, new cars, hot rods, motorbikes and trucks. “The plan has been over two years in the making and we are

trying to fill the void from the World Rally Cross leaving the region. “The festival will be a great lead up to the final round of the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship on 27-28 November which has a huge online following of over 2.4 billion people. “It’s an event that families can enjoy and enjoy a holiday with the family on the beautiful coast. “Being the inaugural event and with the challenges of COVID, we have been overwhelmed by the support and the idea of this Festival. “All the clubs we approached to run events and the business people who have put their hands in their pockets can see the potential of this event which will give a big boost to the tourism industry,” concluded Bob.

Foodies Clear Your Calendar By Andrew VIVIAN

NOVEMBER will see a 10-day mixture of dining experiences, workshops, musical entertainment, art and digital experiences held throughout the different villages of the Coffs Coast. The Coffs Coast Food and Wine Festival will showcase the best that the area has to offer in culinary and related experiences. It will also highlight sustainable food use by distributing excess food through OzHarvest (which will also receive a portion of the Festival profits), reducing food waste and composting.

The team behind the Festival is Heidi Figenschau and Lindsay Russell from the Fluke & Fern Marketing Agency and Dave Mansfield from Amplify Events. Ms Russell said, “As well as highlighting locally grown and produced food, we're passionate about local food and want to see farmers in the region thrive.” Experiences confirmed so far include Coffs Coast restaurants such as Bar Que Sera, Anchor Kitchen & Bar, The Hilltop at The Lodge and The Hilltop Store, Mana Chita, Ground Earth and The Mermaid Beach House providing special menus

using local produce for tapas, burgers, modern Australian and other diverse cuisines. Bellingen Pasta will be running a pasta-making workshop by delivering ingredients and then having participants stream the workshop at home. Ms Figenschau said, “We have some incredible art and music in store for the dining experiences.” She said that Bite Food Tours is organising a ‘Bohemian Soirée Paint n' Sip’ with Dark Arts Café, with live French music, cocktails and a cheese platter, and a ‘Paint n' Sip’ amongst the vines at Two Tails Winery, with a full wine

tasting. The organising team will be marketing the event outside the Coffs Coast to encourage more people to visit and stimulate tourism. The Coffs Coast Food and Wine Festival will be a COVIDSafe event with contingencies in place in case of restrictions or lockdowns, such as takeaway, delivery and an increased number of digital workshops. The full program will be announced in August. Until then, information can be found by following @ coffscoastfoodwine on social media.

With an urgent call-out to the community that Australia needs to double its blood donation effort for the rest of the year to ensure a healthy supply, the Red Cross in Coffs is making it as tempting and comfortable as possible to host donors. “Our Coffs donors have been incredibly generous and helped ensure our blood supply has remained sufficient, but with hospital demand for blood the highest it’s been in nearly a decade, it’s critical people don’t stop donating now,” Ruth Harrison, Group Account Manager, Donor Service told News Of The Area (NOTA). “We’re asking our Coffs locals to do what we do so well – roll up our sleeves and lend an arm. “As each donation can save up to three lives, you really are helping out your

local community in the best way possible.” Jenny Houlcroft, Donor Centre Manager at Coffs Homebase told NOTA, “You’ll find the team here really welcoming, it’s a relaxed atmosphere and we have the best milkshakes in town…

SCU Open Day goes virtual for month-long study discovery By Andrea FERRARI

SIMPLIFYING the everchanging landscape of events, Southern Cross University in Coffs Harbour has created a virtual Open Day that runs for a month with on-demand tours, presentations, deepdives into the courses as well as live information sessions and chats with current students. The flexibility of a whole month is appealing to prospective students because it allows them to access the Open Day when it suits them, rather than scheduling an inperson visit, which for some people out of region means a two or three day visit to Coffs. Students can look at

potential courses and have a think and go back to research more. Ben Roche, Vice President (Engagement), said the virtual Open Day was the perfect platform to explore study areas, hear from current students, chat to study experts and take an immersive 360-degree campus tour. “Southern Cross University is making it simple for anyone, anywhere to discover the distinctive courses we have on offer,” he said. The University’s study experts will provide online chat to offer specialised advice and help. Current students sharing

Port United defeat Sawtell FC 2-1 By David WIGLEY

A tight game of close margins.

PORT United defeated Sawtell 2-1 in the Coastal Premier League last Saturday at Toormina Oval to boost their chances for a semi-finals finish. Following a scoreless first half, Sawtell opened the scoring after the break which gave the home crowd hope of an upset against last year’s southern zone winners but it was Port United who dug deep to overturn the deficit and grab a much needed three points. Sawtell coach Joe Skyrtic gave his assessment of the match. “The feeling was positive within the team and I thought this would be our game. “First half we were on the back foot with United applying pressure in our back third which we defended really well, we just didn’t seem to find the

right channels going forward. “Second half we started well with a quick goal straight from the kick off, after that United stepped up a gear and we dropped down one. “Our ability to keep the ball let us down and simple errors occurred which allowed United the victory,” said Joe. Port United coach Nathan Wade acknowledged the fighting spirit of Sawtell. “Tough away game, Sawtell made us fight for everything, full credit to our boys coming from one goal down to get the win. “(Our) season so far is a bit up and down, we haven't had the same starting team two weeks in a row for the whole year. “We would like to be slightly higher on the ladder, but we are within striking distance if we are good enough. “There are three rounds

remaining but we still have five games to play and four are at home,” said Nathan. Sawtell President Simon Portus acknowledged the fine margins in this year’s Coastal Premier League. "We played an excellent first half and scored within 20 seconds of the second half kickoff but unfortunately a few lapsed moments later in the second half let us down and Port took advantage and scored. “It's hard to take, especially when we were playing so well but it's also the story of our season so far. “The positive is that they know they can match anyone in the comp, it's just doing it for 90 minutes, that comes with experience and keeping focused as a team," said Simon. Sawtell take on their cross town rivals the Coffs Coast Tigers next Saturday 31 July at 5pm at Polwarth Drive.

Group 2 Rugby League finals series just around the corner By Aiden BURGESS WITH this year's finals series just around the corner, the latest round of the Tooheys New Group 2 Rugby League season was decided last weekend.

Sportsground. Round 14 also saw the Macksville Sea Eagles win a close game against the Coffs Harbour Comets as they triumphed 28-24 at home. The Sea Eagles win snapped the Comets seven match winning streak, but the Comets still remain on top with a superior for and against compared with the Grafton Ghosts. The South Grafton Rebels also earnt a win in Round 14

“Everyone gets involved and it’s for a good cause.” The proud President praised the involvement of the older juniors. “The older girl’s mentor and coach the young ones and umpire as well,” she said. “They are the backbone of the organisation.” The Vost Park Netball Courts are set to receive an upgrade to an international standard in time for the 2022 season.

Sensational Scorpions continue winning run By Aiden BURGESS

THE Sawtell Scorpions 12 Girls 1st division girls have proven to be one of North Coast’s Football’s best junior teams. The Scorpions continued their undefeated season with a 2-1 win against the Coffs City United Lionesses at Toormina. The win was their 11th from 11 games this season, with the sensational Scorpions side conceding just one goal while scoring 46 of their own. The Scorpions and Lionesses headed into halftime locked at 1-1, with the Lionesses creating early chances in the second half. But the Scorpions started to gain the ascendancy and capitalised as a solo run and goal from Imogen Bilsborough after a beautiful through ball from Libby Lynn proved to be the match winner. Scorpion’s co-coach Danny Hill shared with News Of

The Area why his side was so successful. “They have been playing together for a few years and they gel so well,” he said. “Our defence is our armour and our brick wall, and we have a lot of heart and don’t give up and fight for every ball. “Every girl can play in every position and our versatility makes selection easy. “We have great players with individual skill but we play as a team and are a great unit. “Nearly everyone has scored this season and we don't rely on a couple of players.” Coach Hill said his players took great pride in their dominant defensive record. “Today was the first time we had conceded a goal this season, and we are lucky to be strong across the field but exceptional in defence,” he said. “They don't just slack off

and they take pride in and fight to not let goals in. “I have to tell them to curb it sometimes as they are aggressive, but you’ve got to have that killer instinct otherwise you don’t win 11 matches in a row.” Co-coach Jo Elliott explained the makeup and

background of the side. “We have players from a lot of different schools across the region,” she said. “They’ve played together in mixed teams before and they know each other well, and we have a core group that have come through the juniors together.”

had fallen while the ball lay next to both players. “There was lots of laughter for the entire game, definitely one of my season highlights.” Lisa praised the improvements of the opposing team throughout the season so far. “It’s also great to see the Tigers improvement over the season, this is their first year in the over 30s competition since I’ve been playing and even though they’ve had some big losses they’ve always kept their heads up and shown great growth as a team.

Corindi midfielder Lisa Webb shared the spirit of the competition. “We ended up 5-0 after 0-0 at halftime, it was probably one of the best games of the season regarding camaraderie, there were frequent pauses where both teams would stop playing to help each other up if someone

Scorpions’ striker Imogen Bilsborough scored the match winner in their latest win, and said it was a great feeling to score the vital goal. “It felt good because everyone worked hard to get the second goal,” she said. “And it’s good to beat a team that’s so competitive.”

“They’re only going to get stronger in the upcoming seasons and it’s great to have them in the competition,” said Lisa. Tigers Club President and centre forward Mellesa Bennet echoed the good-natured feel of the competition. “Being a new team in the women's comp this season and with many of our ladies not having ever played football before we were very nervous. “We didn’t know what to expect, but the other teams in the comp have been very encouraging and supportive. “They love that the competition is growing, there are always so many laughs from both teams on

Comets to celebrate Old Boys Day By David WIGLEY

THE Coffs Harbour Comets will be celebrating ‘Old Boys Day’ on Saturday 31 July to commemorate the grand final winning teams from 50 years ago. It will be a special day for the Comets, and Club President Steve Gooley shared some of the Club’s rich history with News Of The Area. “This year we feature our inaugural First Grade Premiership winning side of 1970, and the back to back winners of 1971. “Our club was formed for the 1965 season from an amalgamation of Coffs Jetty and Coffs Diggers, we played in a comp pretty similar geographically to what we have now. “In our inaugural season

we won 18s and reserves, going down to Lower Clarence in the First Grade grand final. “In 1966 we moved southward where the Group was from Coffs to Kempsey. “We continued to dominate the lower grades but lost back to back grand finals in 1967 and 1968 to Smithtown, in 1969 we were undefeated minor premiers but lost the major semi and final. “1970 looked a bit doubtful at the start as the club lost a lot of depth with Woolgoolga and Sawtell entering the comp. “Despite this the Banana Benders, as we were then known, broke through by beating Central Kempsey 12-4 at Verge Street Oval Kempsey,” said Steve. Steve shared memories

from newspaper clippings over 50 years old and declared, “These are bonds and friendships that will never be broken.” The celebration includes the 50 year anniversary of the 1971 premiership winning team which Steve described as one of the greatest underdog victories in the competition's history. “On Old Boys Day, Saturday 31 July, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1971 First Grade Premiership. “Despite being defending Premiers, Coffs caused one of the greatest underdog victories in the group's history. “Nambucca Heads were undefeated, had won the Northern NSW knockout for sides from Newcastle to the Queensland border and Coffs had six players out or carrying

Lex Weiley wins North Coast Referee of the Month By David WIGLEY

LEX Weiley has been recognised as the Newcastle Permanent North Coast Referee of the Month for July. The year 12 student from St John Paul College played junior football last year and has made the progression to senior refereeing and senior football in the Coastal Premier League this year. Lex balances his match

officiating with playing in the region’s elite competition where he plays in goal for the Coffs Coast Tigers in reserve grade CPL. Despite just one year’s experience as a referee, Lex’s affable nature and good decision making has seen him progress through the ranks. “Last season I heard there was going to be a referee course coming up

and I thought to myself that this is another challenge for me, something that I thought would benefit me and help me learn much more about the game, so with that I took the opportunity and ever since then it’s all clicked and I’m enjoying it and I haven’t looked back once. “I love being able to control the game and it’s just a great role to have, you meet so many people from it and have fun while being out in the middle or on the line. “Some of the challenges of refereeing are keeping

both teams happy. “If it’s a tricky decision and you call it, you must have an explanation for why you’ve made the decision and keep moving on. “If you make a mistake, you just have to learn from it and make sure you don’t do it again which Is why I think refereeing is a great asset to have,” said Lex. Balancing playing in the CPL and refereeing has its challenges but Lex praises teamwork amongst his fellow match officials. “Playing in the CPL and

refereeing has its challenges but having a great match official officer helps as usually I get put on the junior games before the CPL kicks off so it’s helpful what those guys do and makes it easier for me,” said Lex. Lex will be refereeing on Saturday morning 31 July and will swap the black shirt for the green goalkeeper jersey for the 3pm derby between Coffs Coast Tigers and Sawtell FC in the CPL.

the early stages of the match creating numerous chances but couldn’t find the opening goal. The weight of chances finally took its toll as the Lions eventually broke through in the 41st minute, thanks to a beautiful long-range strike from Joel Hampson which would ultimately prove to be the match winner. The Bombers were a markedly improved side in the second half as they started to turn the tide in a physical contest defined by great defence and numerous penalties. Bombers keeper Kyle Wood kept his side in the match

saving a penalty early in the second half, before Lions keeper Jake Mahoney responded in kind with two brilliant saves as the home side hunted for an equaliser. The Bombers pushed the Lions all the way to the final minutes but would find the equaliser elusive against the ladder leaders. With his side withstanding numerous Bombers attacking raids to keep a clean sheet, Lions coach Glen Williams praised his team's defensive efforts. “Our keeper kept us in the game, and our defence was solid even missing our

normal sweeper through injury,” he said. “It was a scrappy game but a good result.” Williams identified two things he would take away from the 1-0 win against

their premiership rivals. “That we can be better in front of the sticks to put the game away, and that we can still play football on a pitch that makes it hard to do that.” The Coastal Premier League

The Rebels are scheduled to host the sports luncheon on Friday, 10 September from 12.30pm at the Woolgoolga Diggers Club. The guest speakers include Jeff Thomson, Stephen O’Keefe and Allana Ferguson. Arguably the fastest

“Playing for Australia is the greatest honour, I love representing my country,” Daniel said. “I have been kicking a football since I could walk, for me, there is no other sport, I live it, I breathe it. “Growing up I fell over a lot, I was always tripping on things, I had spasms in my legs, I walked on my toes. “I discovered early on that If I ran, I could be on my toes and I wouldn’t fall over.

“There were certain things I couldn’t do, but I learnt to adjust and adapt. “When I was four I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP) which affects both my legs, which can be a bit of a disadvantage for a football player. “I play in the Coastal Premier League for the Coffs Coast Tigers, how Cerebral Palsy affects my legs is not always obvious to those around me as I’ve learnt to just get on with it. “CP 7-a-side football isn’t in the Paralympics this

year, it was taken out and this is the first Paralympics that CP 7-a-side football hasn’t been in since the 2000 Paralympics,” said Daniel. Daniel hopes to participate with the NSW CP football team at the Nationals in October 2021 but COVID-19 may cast a cloud over the event. “I am meant to play for the Pararoos in the nationals in October, I hope it will be on, but like most events there’s uncertainty, either way I will be playing football and training hard,” said Daniel.

NSW and the ACT since 2010. Nationally, the number of women and girls playing community football has swelled to greater than 70,000 in 2021, the largest yet seen. Shannon Goodenough is one of four women who coach in AFL North Coast competitions. She coaches the Coffs Harbour Breakers Youth Girls team and has played for the Breakers women for the past two seasons. Born and bred in Coffs Harbour as a basketballer,

Shannon had a brief stint in Armidale where she joined her first AFL team. In 2020, she returned home to play for the Breakers and the following year put her hand up to coach the Youth Girls team while still playing in the senior side. Her motivation to coach is to develop players’ skills and fitness, and to provide a pathway for young women to move through juniors and play in the senior competition. AFL North Coast’s other female coaches include

Katika Adams (Coffs Harbour Breakers reserves co-coach), Bec Minichilli (Sawtell/ Toormina Saints women’s coach), and Fran Williams (Port Macquarie Magpies Youth Girls coach). AFL North Coast’s Community Football & Competition Manager Paul Taylor said the four female coaches were great role models for the region’s female footballers. “With four female coaches actively involved in the 2021 season, AFL North Coast

“Spirits are high and we just wanna keep pushing for the rest of the season,” said Luke. The Tigers host Sawtell

on Saturday 31 July at 5pm at Polwarth Drive as they seek to consolidate a place in the semi-finals.
