resolved, with Coffs Harbour City councillors agreeing to a 30 year loan offered by the Commonwealth Bank. Council had previously

FROM Page 1 “Helen Mears has been a United Hospital Auxiliaries volunteer at Coffs Harbour Health Campus for the past 40 years and I applaud her for her passion and dedication,” said Mr Singh. “Helen has fundraised for medical equipment, staffed the hospital’s café and gift shop and recruited, managed and inspired countless volunteers. “She has been the president of the local UHA group, the Pink Ladies, for more than 30 years, overseeing the donation of more than $3 million,” Mr Singh said. Helen reminisced with News Of The Area, “We started our first coffee shop in the social club rooms at the previous hospital which was a lot of fun. “Eileen Milne and I started with sandwiches, and we were very happy the day we made $50.

DUE to the postponement of the Coffs Harbour Local Government election until 4 December, Coffs Harbour City Council has had to reschedule its coming meeting dates. Council’s fortnightly Ordinary Meetings will now occur on 9 and 23 September, and the meeting scheduled for 9 December following the upcoming Local Government Election has been cancelled. No meetings had previously been scheduled for September due to the planned

Coffs Harbour Local Government Election occurring on Saturday 4 September. The NSW Government postponed the election date to Saturday 4 December in response to the escalating outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in Greater Sydney and the potential for further outbreaks in regional areas. Council’s practice is to meet on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 5pm.

Cultural and Civic Space Loan Agreement FROM Page 1 Council had been “rejected” by Westpac Bank for the loan borrowing. “We’ve been rejected by one of the big four, being Westpac,” Cr Rhoades stated. “What if we are rejected on our application with the Commonwealth, where do we go from there, do we go to the third one, do we go to the fourth one? “What happens if all four reject what we’re applying for?” Mayor Denise Knight interjected and stated “we actually were not rejected Cr Rhoades”. Cr George Cecato reaffirmed that the Council did not get “rejected” by Westpac for a loan for the Cultural and Civic Space project. “We did not get rejected, they changed their mind,” Cr Cecato said. “It wasn’t our doing that Westpac changed internal parameters. “Here we have an offer by the biggest bank in Australia, we got a certainty that they are going to honour the 30 years, we got a long term commitment at a very, very low rate. “It’s exactly what we’ve been looking for.” Cr Rhoades, however, described what Council was doing as a “farce”. “We have gone about it completely the wrong way,” he stressed. “Here we are, we’ve started a project, we’ve dug a hole, we’ve got bills to pay and we still don’t have our finances in place. “Council has done it completely the wrong way, it was rushed, rushed, rushed from the start to get this thing started, on the go, contracts signed and no finance in place. “I cannot support this and I hope the other councillors realise that this process is flawed.” Cr Sally Townley stressed that going ahead with the project was the resolved position of Council and had been for some time. “There was never any doubt of Council being

able to source the funding, it’s always been a matter of where, and we’re in the lucky position that we actually have had a lot of options,” Cr Townley said. “We are 100 percent certain and we always have been of securing funding for this project. “Now we’ve got a proposal to go forward and there is no reason why we shouldn’t go to the next logical step, which is to make formal arrangements for the finance.” Cr Tegan Swan, who has previously opposed the Cultural and Civic Space project, supported going ahead with the loan borrowing. “I do have concerns obviously, but in this instance we are committed to this project and we do need to do it,” Cr Swan affirmed. “I do believe that this loan is an effective option for us to be able to achieve that. “I can’t see any reason to be opposed to it just on principle because I haven’t been supportive of the project.” Cr Tegan Swan questioned what the ongoing annual interest costs were with the loan borrowing Council was considering, as well as the maintenance and running costs for the project over the length of the loan. “The interest cost in year one is $1.27 million and then over the total life of the loan the total interest cost would be $21.8 million dollars,” Council’s Group Leader Financial Services and Logistics Mark Griffioen said. Council’s General Manager Steve McGrath said savings would be seen from combining Council services into one new building. “The long term financial plan assumes some savings on those maintenance and other costs associated with the current (Council) buildings that are part of the funding model for the project,” Mr McGrath said. “You got to take efficiencies from having everyone in the one consolidated location.” Details of the interest rate for the loan offered by the Commonwealth Bank for the

project are ‘commercial in confidence’ between Council and the lender at present until the formal offer and acceptance is undertaken. However, Mr McGrath stated that the interest rate was “very attractive”. “The interest rates are very, very attractive and in line with the low interest rates we are generally seeing in the marketplace at the moment,” he confirmed. Cr Arkan agreed it was a “good interest rate”, but opposed going ahead with the loan due to the current COVID induced climate. “I speak against this simply because of the climate that we are all now living in,” Cr Arkan said. “To commit this level of loan to a community that are unsure about what the future holds in a lot of ways, everything has changed drastically. “The world has changed, do we really want to commit ourselves to this.” Cr Arkan also opposed selling off Council’s current assets to fund the Cultural and Civic Space project. “We are selling so many things off to secure this,” he stated. “I strongly speak against selling our assets to build the centre as it is.” Cr Paul Amos questioned whether a

development application modification for the project had been approved yet. Mr McGrath answered that the modifications to the new building were “minor” and he expected approval of these changes soon. “The modification for some very minor changes, all information has been supplied to the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment and the last I heard was that they were working towards having their end of it completed within a very short timeframe,” Mr McGrath said. “I envisage that it's not going to be very far away at all.” Mayor Denise Knight completed lengthy discussion on the loan borrowing by stating that the offer from the Commonwealth Bank “is a bargain and I think we should grab it with both hands”. Councillors voted 5 votes to 3 for Council to enter into a fixed interest rate loan agreement to borrow $50.265 million over 30 years with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, with Crs George Cecato, Michael Adendorff, Tegan Swan, Sally Townley and Denise Knight voting for the loan borrowing and Crs John Arkan, Paul Amos and Keith Rhoades voting against.

COVID Concert Cancellations By Andrew VIVIAN

q Concerts by the Lior and Tinalley String Quartet have now been cancelled twice. Photo: supplied by Musica Viva.

THE Coffs Harbour Music Society, under the presidency of Elizabeth Jamison AO, has worked with great commitment and passion over the past 30 years to bring international chamber groups to Coffs Harbour. Classical music lovers on the Coffs Coast have been delighted by the many wonderful concerts organised by Liz and her committee of

volunteers. Unfortunately, because of COVID 19 restrictions, there are a number of changes to the Music Society’s advertised Spring Series of concerts. One of the first major disappointments for the 2021 season was the cancellation of Adam Herd’s concert. Adam, a concert pianist originally from Coffs Harbour, now based in Finland, is a wonderful pianist who plays classical, romantic and

Cooking Through Lockdown By David WIGLEY

THE Carswell family are cooking their way through lockdown with a range of healthy sweets and family dinners which are a big hit with neighbours and a key ingredient to homeschooling. Eleven-year-old Anais Carswell has been keeping busy whipping up culinary delights for her family and neighbours. “I like to cook healthy sweets and dinners for the

family, recently I made pine lime popsicles and the best homemade burgers. “The great thing about cooking is that it doesn’t have to be perfect every time and there are no rules. “It’s also quite educational because you do experiments which are part of science and keep you focused and busy,” said Anais. Whilst Anais’s father Ian Carswell enjoys the food, cooking has a range of benefits, especially in

lockdown. “She makes an amazing pulled pork and chicken korma with her homemade spice mix and the raspberry and white chocolate muffins are delicious. “It’s a fun way to keep the kids busy while I am working from home, cooking brings people together and we have found it rewarding to share our creations with our neighbours, by contactless delivery of course. “I think it gives kids great

life skills and encourages them to try new things. “It also provides them with an understanding of healthy food choices and allows them to be creative. “Cooking allows kids to use maths and science in a practical way and enables them to be self sufficient. “It’s not just about cooking, the planning and organising that goes into meal preparation goes hand in hand with making it a valuable and fun learning experience,” said Ian.

contemporary piano concerti with orchestras around the world. The committee is hopeful that he can perform in Coffs Harbour in 2022 if International borders reopen. Sadly the Lior and Tinalley String Quartet concert will also not go ahead and the committee has just been advised by Musica Viva Australia that The Goldner String Quartet and Piers Lane (September concert) has also been cancelled. The remaining concerts in

the Spring series are Umberto Clerici and Daniel De Borah on Friday November 19 and Bridget Bolliger and Friends, who will perform at the Coffs Harbour Education Campus on December 3. The Music Society is passionate about presenting concerts despite the upheavals caused by the pandemic and would like to thank subscribers and supporters for their interest over the years. Refunds can be arranged by contacting Jean on 0466 985 652 and patrons are urged to keep checking www. coffsmusicsociety.com.au for updates.

Rigby House sold to fund Cultural and Civic Space FOLLOWING lengthy debate and a tied vote, Council’s Rigby House building in Duke Street, Coffs Harbour, has been sold to help fund the $81m Cultural and Civic Space project. The Duke Street building comprises a three level commercial office building with basement security car parking for 52 cars, including Council office space on level one and Coffs Harbour’s Harry Bailey Memorial Library and Regional Art Gallery on the ground floor. As part of the sale, Council will continue to occupy the building and enter into a three year lease at a rental of $940,000 per year, until the Cultural and Civic Space (CCS) building is completed in October 2022. At Council’s recent meeting on Thursday 26 August, Mayor Denise Knight put forward grand visions of the Rigby House building being transformed into much needed residential accommodation for the area. “Apart from the financial gain that we will get from this, what I envisage is, imagine if that became residential, it would solve a multitude of problems for our housing crisis,” Cr Knight stated. Cr Keith Rhoades said Cr

Knight’s commentary on the possibility of transforming the Duke St Council building into residential accommodation “meant absolutely nothing”. “It means absolutely nothing because we have no idea what the future purchaser of that may wish to do with it,” Cr Rhoades stated. “This is nothing but a fire sale of a community asset, a fire sale. “$11.75 million for that building, in current terms of land prices that are being asked for and achieved in this area, whether it be residential or commercial, at $11.75 million dollars is nothing but a fire sale.” Cr Rhoades stressed that the building was a community asset, not a Council asset. “We are the managers, as the board of directors of those assets on behalf of our community to realise the best price we can get, and this is not the best price,” he stated. “To top that off, you’re gonna get $11.75m if this is accepted, and you’re gonna pay back over three years approximately $3 million dollars to the purchaser because you’re gonna rent it. “So in actual fact you should be telling the community is it’s not $11.75m, you're actually achieving on the sale of their asset

somewhere in the vicinity of $8.5 million dollars.” Cr Rhoades questioned why Council was not considering a higher offer than $11.75m for the Duke Street building which was presented to Council on Wednesday 25 August, the day before the Council meeting. “Why are we debating something that we can get more money for, that is owned by the community, and we haven’t brought that (offer) forward,” Cr Rhoades questioned. Council’s Business Services Director Andrew Beswick confirmed Council had received a late offer which was “slightly higher'', but said the original purchaser was advised that “late offers would not be considered” by Council to ensure Council’s good faith. However, Mr Beswick stated that it was up to Council whether to accept either of the offers. Cr John Arkan questioned whether it was possible to delay the sale of the Duke Street building, as Council had done with the sale of its administration building. “Maybe delay this to a later date and run a different marketing concept and see if we can get the best money,” Cr Arkan said. Cr Sally Townley, however,

said the property had been advertised widely and for a long time. “People have had ample opportunities to put in bids,” Cr Townley stated. Cr Townley questioned whether Cr Rhoades objection to the sale was due to the offered price for the Duke Street building or “to the whole (CCS) process”. “There’s been plenty of opportunity, we’ve got an offer, I personally think it would be unethical and counter to Council’s statement of business ethics to receive a late offer,” Cr Townley expressed. “Bidders have been told that there’s a cut off. “It’s the resolved position of Council that the money from this sale will be used to fund part of the Cultural and

Civic Space, and now we’re at that point where we’ve got a good offer and I can’t see any reason why we wouldn't go ahead with it.” Cr Tegan Swan said she wasn’t against selling the building, but was against the timing and the deal that has been offered. “It is not the time to sell commercial real estate, especially that currently are put forward as office space,” Cr Swan said. “Given we’re currently in lockdown and the future of this type of work is up in the air at the moment. “People are not putting forward good offers to buy this type of building right now.” Cr Swan stated that leasing back the building was making it an “even worse deal''.

Crs George Cecato, Michael Adendorff, Sally Townley and Denise Knight voted for the sale of the Duke Street building and Crs John Arkan, Paul Amos, Tegan Swan and Keith Rhoades voted against the sale.

THE local Burmese community and their supporters have been active with a fundraiser and the establishment of an action group to keep raising awareness and support for their fellow countrymen in Myanmar living under the military junta. Last month they held a gala day fundraiser selling food and playing friendly games of soccer and volleyball. Approximately four hundred people attended the event at York Street Oval in Coffs Harbour. Sporting teams consisted of an adult team, a teen team and younger players all playing together throughout the day. More than ten thousand dollars

was raised that day and has been donated to the Civil Disobedience Movement to use as they see fit for medicine, food, clothing or supplies for the community. On the back of the successful day another community group gathered to show their support for the Mizzima News group which is still operating in exile and underground. Former photojournalist for Mizzima News and Coffs Harbour resident Ms Aye Win spoke with News Of The Area. “We have established a support group, Mizzima Media Supporters Australia, and for the 23rd anniversary for the establishment of Mizzima News. “So on the same day we called for the release of Thin Thin Aung.

SELF harm prevention charity R U OK? has launched ‘Are they really OK? Ask them today’, as this year’s call to action for R U OK? Day 2021, on 9 September. ‘Are they really OK? Ask them today’, comes in response to new research* which found 22 percent of Australians aren’t reaching out to ask ‘are you OK?’ because there hasn’t been an occasion where they felt someone needed

their help. Making it part of every day, the R U OK? charity is encouraging all Australians to consider how the people in their world are really going. R U OK? Community Ambassador Lisa Nichols from Woopi, who lost her mum to suicide, reminds everyone that asking the question ‘are you okay?’ saves lives. “We’re learning to talk about suicide, depression and all life’s tough moments, because the more you talk about it the easier it gets,” Lisa told News Of The Area. “By starting these conversations, we can show people they’re loved, they’re needed and they matter. “You could save a life,” she said. Plans for R U OK? Day in 2021 for Woolgoolga which usually turns ‘yellow’ are a little different this year with the current lockdown restrictions, meaning no mass participation events, but plans are afoot to stay connected and check on those in your world. Lisa is arming several local cafes with splashes of yellow and R U OK? official merchandise, encouraging locals to support their local café. “Buy a coffee and be rewarded with some R U OK? merchandise to start a conversation,” she said.

Day we are encouraging all of our community to take a selfie with their own sign of hope and share it on the Woopi Wears Yellow Facebook page to raise awareness on this important national day of action and remind everyone that genuine support can make a difference.” The R U OK? website shares a practical toolkit and suggestions on how people can share the message in their community.

Candidates Call for Vaccine Hub By Sandra MOON

TWO local Labor mayoral candidates are calling for a vaccination hub to be established in Coffs Harbour. Tony Judge, mayoral candidate for Coffs Harbour and Andrew Woodward, mayoral candidate for Bellingen have united their voices, calling on the state government to create a mass vaccination hub to service

the Coffs and Bellingen areas. According to a Labor statement, “Analysis of official government information reveals people on the Coffs Coast and the wider north coasts are facing scarce supplies, long delays or a lack of information on availability of the vaccines.” Tony Judge spoke with News Of The Area. “It’s been through good luck rather than

good management that we haven’t had a local COVID-19 outbreak yet. “People in the Coffs region want to do the right thing and get vaccinated, but state and federal governments need to up their effort.” He stated that Coffs needs a mass vaccination clinic as a matter of urgency. “We need to rapidly accelerate the rollout of both

vaccines to give ourselves the best chance possible to keep the Coffs Coast COVID-19 free,” he said. “There’s no shortage of locations on the Coffs Coast where the government could establish a mass vaccination clinic for people in the Coffs Harbour City and Bellingen Shire LGAs.” Andrew Woodward agrees wholeheartedly but says it is the availability of the vaccine that is preventing uptake. “The old adage that prevention is better than cure has never been more relevant,” he said. “But even if you want to do the right thing and

get vaccinated, you face a nightmare. “It is ridiculous that nearly two thirds of the locations promoted as having vaccines have no information available. He continued, “Worse still, only 14 percent of locations say they have availability in the next month. “These delays put people at risk and may cause other people to give up. “ T h e Premier keeps q Bellingen Mayoral Candidate telling us to get Andrew Woodward is calling on vaccinated yet the NSW Government for help most can’t even with a mass vaccine hub. if they want to.”

know he has been bestowed this honour. “He would be proud to have a legacy on the beach that he so loved. Linda added, “Dave would be saying, No, that is too much money... you need to earn your money.” Kel Pearce, Sawtell SLSC President said, “Our Sideby-Side Vehicle (ATV) is an essential part of the lifesaving suite that equips our lifesavers.

“The ATV carries lifesaving equipment and allows patrols to monitor swimmers and surfers outside the patrol environment. “On-board the vehicle we have supplementary oxygen, a first aid kit, a major trauma kit, rescue board, rescue tube and communication equipment. “This enables patrols to respond quickly to deliver lifesaving and provides a reassuring presence to visitors that our surf lifesavers are well prepared to assist them.

The support vehicle is named in memory of David Jones, who recently passed away, aged 70. David was a highly regarded life-member of Sawtell SLSC and former President of Sawtell RSL. Through the generous donation of $23,000 from Sawtell RSL which has funded the purchase, ‘Jonesy’ will hit the beach ready for next

season Greg Agius, General Manager at Sawtell RSL, told News Of The Area, “David has done so much for Sawtell; everyone knew him as the Unofficial Mayor of Sawtell, we decided it was such a worthwhile use of funds. “We’d heard the Surf Club needed a new vehicle, the current one is at the end of its working life, so it was a good opportunity to commit to this legacy. “David wanted no recognition for all the efforts he put into the Surf Club and Sawtell, if he found out we’d done this I’d be in a serious

amount of trouble,” quipped Greg. Bruce McPhail, Secretary of Sawtell SLSC said, “David staunchly supported the Surf Club as integral to the community; the surf club is overwhelmed by the RSL Board’s generous support over many years.” David’s family told News Of The Area, “Words cannot convey how our family feels about the generous gesture from the RSL to Sawtell Surf Club on behalf of Dave’s memory. “Dave was heavily involved in both clubs, and he would be truly humbled to

“Due to the demanding environmental conditions that face these vehicles they need to be regularly maintained and we hope to get three-to-four years before replacing. “Just as David Jones was an all-purpose lifesaver, the ATV is an all-purpose vehicle from assisting nippers, supporting patrols, and providing critical life-saving equipment along Sawtell beach. “It is a workhorse moving around our IRB for patrols, nippers, surf carnivals and training.”

No go for 2021: Curryfest sets new date for 2022 By Andrea FERRARI

CURRYFEST 2021 has been cancelled for the second year running, and while the aromas, the colours, the tourism and in-coming business will be sorely missed, Woolgoolga Chamber of Commerce has announced the date for next year. Curryfest 2022 will be on 24 September, Pam Fayle, Chair of Curryfest, told News Of The Area. “We set ourselves a deadline to decide and looked at all the restrictions on travel and movement between states, not being able to get our celebrity chef and performers, we didn’t really have a choice not to cancel; we just couldn’t do it with the COVID restrictions, lockdown and border closures,” she said. Building on the enthusiastic popularity of the annual celebration of Punjabi heritage, culture and cuisine, Pam said an idea has been mooted that proposes a mini event in April.

“We are looking at maybe a mini event during the Easter Holidays and children’s school holidays. “Easter is a time when the Sikh community has its Vaisakhi Sikh parade, celebrated in Woolgoolga with a very colourful parade through the town. “And the Sikh Games are held around this time. “It would be fitting to add-in a mini Curryfeststyle event at this time. “We’re having discussions with our event organiser, Another Tasty Event around our thoughts on this; we’ll be monitoring how things go and let everyone know.” Guest Celebrity Chef, Miguel Maestre, locked down in Sydney, has indicated he’s going to try to make the date for Curryfest 2022. Curryfest relies on grant funding, sponsorship and selling the stallholder sites as well as a small entry fee on the gate. “As a not-for-profit, the Chamber of Commerce shares each year’s Curryfest profits with the

volunteer organisations that contribute to the event, such as Woolgoolga SLSC and The Red Cross, who will miss out for a second year running. “The tourism spin-off of Curryfest is calculated at around $2 million –

missing out again, at a time when local businesses are already doing it tough. “Many of the local sponsors have left their funds with Curryfest for next year, which means another year of their logos on our website.”

can pay the bills and our staff but there’s not much left for me. “As you can see the Plaza is empty, it’s normally bustling with activity but now there are no tourists, no workers buying food and no people walking around, the streets are empty and it’s hitting us hard. “Although we are still selling some pizzas this lockdown is having a huge impact on our business and I know a lot of businesses are doing a lot worse,” said Loic. Last year the French chef pivoted from fine dining after his catering business was wiped out by the pandemic. “I am a classically trained French chef and used to cater

THE recent statewide lockdown has forced many hospitality businesses to shut down or operate on a takeaway only basis. Since the snap lockdown on 14 August there have been two extensions which are having a growing impact on the bottom line and it’s a triple whammy for restaurants and cafes who rely on trade from tourists, work trade and foot traffic. Northside Pizza business owner and chef Loic Prouin explained some of the impacts of the latest lockdown. “Pizza sales are down by 30-40 percent compared to normal business, this means I

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh urged the community to buy local and support local businesses. “The prolonged Delta variant outbreak has meant small businesses are definitely doing it tough. “But just because we’re in lockdown doesn’t mean we can’t continue to support local businesses. “You can order takeaway meals from our award winning restaurants who are offering a takeaway or delivery service. “Many local businesses have made the difficult transition to offering online services and it’s up to us all to support them as best we can,” said Mr Singh.

Council to release Progress Report By Emma DARBIN COFFS Harbour City Council will soon publicly release its Six-Monthly Progress Report detailing its achievements and challenges from January to June 2021. The Six-Monthly Progress Report identifies achievements and challenges recorded during the reporting period against its 2020/21 Operational Plan and provides updates on Council services, projects and key operational activities. The reports present an opportunity for Council to evaluate its performance and account to the local community. During the past six months, Council saw the commencement of construction of the Cultural and Civic Space project, commencement of the 50year lease of Coffs Harbour Airport, naming of Wiigulga Sports Complex, near completion of the Coffs Coast Regional Sports Hub, and the allocation of $258,000 in Community Capital Infrastructure Grants to local community groups.

A new playground was opened at Woolgoolga Main Beach, three Festival of New Thinking events were held, a Positive Ageing Committee was established, construction of the Botanic Gardens Glasshouse neared completion, construction and landscaping of the North Wall car park commenced, and water, sewer and transport asset works for the Coffs Harbour Pacific Highway Bypass were undertaken. Council’s Director Sustainable Communities Chris Chapman said looking back on the first half of this year, Council was able to support some really strong community events and connections. “After some tough times in 2020 we wanted to try some new things to make our community feel connected, sustainable and thriving,” Mr Chapman said. “One of those ideas was Bale Out where we loaded up the truck with hay bales, musicians and loads of fun activities from April to June. “The other knock out success was Culture Hub a temporary, experimental shopfront space hosting exhibitions and associated programs to disrupt, animate and engage with the

everyday.” Coffs Harbour City councillors resolved at Council’s recent meeting on Thursday 26 August to endorse the Six-Monthly Progress Report (for 1 January to 30 June 2021) on the Coffs Harbour City Council 20172022 Delivery Program for public release, and for future progress reports to include items removed or added to Council’s 2020/2021 operational plan. The Six-Monthly Progress Report will soon be placed on public exhibition by Council on its website at www. coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au.

Bush Fire Danger Period commences 1 September THE NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) is reminding residents in Coffs Harbour and Bellingen Local Government Areas (LGAs) that the Bush Fire Danger Period will commence on Wednesday 1 September 2021. Anyone wishing to light a fire during the Bush Fire Danger Period must obtain a fire permit from their local brigade or Fire Control

Centre. Superintendent Sean McArdle said with the warmer and drier conditions becoming more conducive to the spread of fire, people need to be extremely careful when using fire. “Permits are free and easy to obtain. “They ensure that fire is used safely, reducing the danger to landholders, their property and the community,”

the upcoming fire season. “There are simple things you can do now to get ready for bush fire season – such as talking with your family about your bush fire survival plan, preparing your home or property, knowing the bush fire alert levels and making sure you know where to get information during a fire.” To check the Fire Danger Ratings for your area or to download a Bush Fire Survival Plan, go to www.rfs. nsw.gov.au or contact your local Fire Control Centre.

Supt McArdle said. “While hazard reductions are an important part of preparations, landholders need to be extremely careful as warmer conditions mean fire can spread quickly and suddenly. “Never leave a fire unattended and, if a fire does escape, make sure you call Triple Zero (000) immediately so that emergency services can respond and minimise the damage.” Mr McArdle urged homeowners to prepare for

First Dose Vaccine Rates Up By Sandra MOON

CHANCES are if you are eligible for one of the Covid-19 vaccines you will have had your first jab. That’s according to the latest vaccination rates released by Healthy North Coast. The figures reveal that for first vaccinations as of August 23 the North Coast has passed 50 percent vaccination rates and are at 54 percent which is above the Australia wide average of 52 percent. When it comes to having had the second dose we fall slightly behind the state and federal rates. Vaccination rates for the second dose on the North Coast is at 28 percent while the state average is 31 percent and Australia wide it is 30.

The data represents all doses reported to that date and Healthy North Coast acknowledges it may not represent all doses as there can be delays between administering and recording the doses. Nevertheless, Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Julie Sturgess said it was pleasing to see the steady increase in the number of people receiving their first and second jabs. “As much of Australia is in lockdown or restricted in one way or another, people are realising that getting vaccinated is the best way to protect themselves and their community,” Ms Sturgess said. At a state level NSW vaccination rates are increasing at a faster rate than the national and regional rate with more than

59 percent of people aged over fifteen vaccinated. This is likely due to the significant push to support Sydneysiders to get vaccinated. Overall rates in our region have been increasing about four to five percent a week, which is on par with national vaccination trends. There continues to be strong demand for the Pfizer vaccine, outstripping current supplies. All people aged sixteen to 39 will be eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine from 30 August 2021. Bookings are not yet available but will be able to be made through the Vaccine Eligibility Checker at https:// covid-vaccine.healthdirect. gov.au/eligibility. “From mid-September and into October, we will see an additional fifty thousand

End to Homeschool in Sight By Sandra MOON PARENTS who have struggled to keep the workhome balance and students who have been isolated from friends and forced into remote learning will be overjoyed at the announcement of a return to school plan this week from the NSW Premier. Ms Gladys Berejiklian has announced a staggered return to school for NSW from October. The announcement also included that HSC exams will be delayed until November and vaccinations for school staff will be mandatory. The School Plan by the Department of Education aims to ensure a safe return for staff and students for faceto-face learning while Stay At Home orders are still in place. The staggered return will

begin on Monday 25 October with kindergarten and Year 1. They will be followed byYear 2, 6 and 11 on 1 November and Year 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 on 8 November. Year 12 students are already able to return in a limited way and this will continue for the remainder of Term 3. From 25 October, Year 12 will have full time access to school campuses and their teachers. If stay at home orders are lifted in an LGA or region before 25 October, all students living or learning in that area will return to face to face learning under the Department’s COVID-safe schools framework. If cases in certain LGAs increase significantly, learning from home will resume for that LGA until case numbers drop. HSC exams will be delayed until 9 November with a revised timetable and

guidelines for a COVID-safe HSC to be released by NESA in early September. Importantly, the delay of the HSC exams will not disadvantage NSW students when applying to university. Vaccinations for all school staff across all sectors will be mandatory from 8 November. A recent survey of the public school workforce indicated the majority of staff already had at least one dose of a vaccine. All students eligible for a vaccine will be strongly encouraged by the government to book an appointment. Students aged 12-15 will also be a priority if they become eligible for a vaccine. Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the NSW Government is prioritising the safety and education of students through a sensible and managed return to school. “The return to school

extra doses of Pfizer vaccine supplied to general practices across our region,” Ms Sturgess said. “By October, on average, we’ll have about twice as many weekly doses available to our communities. “Starting next month, an additional seventy general practices will be delivering Pfizer vaccine as well as AstraZeneca. “So, there’ll be increased access to local GPs to book appointments and get protected from COVID-19,” she said. “Once again, I encourage anyone who hasn’t yet been vaccinated to make it a priority.” The best way for all people to find out when and where to book a vaccination is by going to the Department of Health website and using the Vaccine Eligibility Checker.

q Pfizer and Astra Zenecca are the two vaccines currently available for NSW residents.

q The plan to return to normal learning is welcomed by parents and students alike.

plan provides parents, teachers and students with certainty and a path forward for the return to face-to-face learning,” Ms Berejiklian said. “We know the last few months have been tough on the school community and we are deeply grateful to parents,

teachers and students for the sacrifices you have made. “Please continue to protect our students by getting vaccinated as quickly as possible.” Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell said the

education and safety of our students is essential. “The classroom is where students learn best and I thank the entire community for playing their role in this return by getting vaccinated,” Ms Mitchell said.

Ukuleles unite for Play Music on the Porch Day By Andrea FERRARI

PLAY Music on the Porch Day, on Saturday August 28, founded in LA in 2013, proved the jolliest way to spend an afternoon in lockdown on the Coffs Coast. “The Sawtell Ukulele Group had been looking for an excuse to get together and when one of our members shared the Play Music on the Porch Day post in our Uko Ono Ukulele Community Facebook group, we decided we should go for it,” Uko Ono’s Stephanie Sims told News Of The Area. “We had done virtual jams on Zoom last year during COVID so it was just a matter of setting up the Zoom

session. “I asked members to choose a song to play, either from the Ukulele Club Songbooks - which we usually jam from when we are live at 63 First Ave (Sawtell) - or one of their own favourites. “It was my job to curate the setlist to get the perfect mix. “We pulled it together in a week and had 25 people on the Zoom from Woolgoolga and Repton down to Hobart in Tassie with many more watching on Facebook. “There was a mother and son performance ( entitled 'COVID blessing', a song about a mother having her boy home); bubble buddies; two sets of sisters (singing

separately) - we even allowed in a banjo playing partner and a guitarist. “And most decades were covered from the fifties right through to the noughties which is very modern for a ukulele group. “You could just feel the joy during the performances. “It has been so long since we were able to play together, we really needed this. “Those who couldn’t get on the Zoom session played along to the Facebook Live stream. “That’s what I love about music - it really brings people together - even virtually.” Glenda Kennedy, from Woolgoolga, told News Of The Area, “Such a buzz playing

ukulele with these people. “It was a real thrill to listen to everyone playing their favourite songs. “So special to be part of our virtual jam during lockdown.

St John Ambulance’s Frazer Shepherd wins volunteer title By Andrea FERRARI

and skills which gave me the opportunity to give back to the local community. “It meets a desire to be part of something and maybe bigger than myself. “I think it helps to take the focus off my everyday challenges and gives me a broader perspective on life. “As for the community, without volunteers in our local area, many of the activities we take for granted would not be possible. “I think the act of volunteering strengthens the cooperation amongst local people and helps break down barriers.” For Frazer, his Black Summer Bushfire Experience

The competition involves youth and open sections, and works will display Rotary’s achievements and engagement with the local community and internationally. Jane Mann from Woolgoolga Gallery told News Of The Area, “During difficult times Rotary looks at community needs and tries to address them. “Rotary helps build the local community and supports local youth as a priority. “Local initiatives include the Science and Engineering challenge involving regional high schools to benefit skills enhancement; Youth driver awareness provides lifesaving road safety education to young people and youth leadership training courses to name a few. “Rotary is well-known in Woolgoolga for having run secondhand furniture auctions

started in late August 2019 with a formal request for the local St John Ambulance service to provide first aid and health services at the NSW Rural Fire Service Mobile Base Camp at Glen Innes. “As the fire season unfolded these requests continued to come in regularly from our local area and further down towards Taree. “I think the length and intensity of the Black Summer Bushfires and the scale of the fires was something I hope never to experience again. “Many of us found ourselves helping locals who had lost everything. “it was very confronting; I saw the need firsthand for a good Peer Support Program in an organisation.” And then the region experienced the worst flooding in over 50 years. “Seeing people evacuated from their homes and ending up in local clubs and community halls was very traumatic. “Clearly there were a lot of negative mental

health outcomes associated with this, which affects you as a volunteer. “I think we are all still a bit shell-shocked with the loss of life, property and belongings that occurred during the catastrophic bushfires and floods. “If there was a positive message from all of this; volunteering gave me a better understanding of resilience. “The idea of the community spirit, where people work together to understand and manage these disasters. Commenting on his award, Frazer said, “I view the award on behalf of the many local volunteers in St John Ambulance. “I think it recognises all their efforts and I am proud to represent them. “I highly recommend volunteering. “If you want to develop new skills through training, give back to the community, set a good example for others or simply make the world a better place one action at a time, try volunteering.”

q One of the Science and Engineering challenges that may inspire an artwork for the Rotary 100th exhibition. on the first Saturday of the month for over 30 years.” Julie shares a couple of Rotary community collaborations as inspiration. “With a lot of hard work from Friends and Rotarians, a Sensory Garden was established in the grounds of Mullaway Public School. “The garden provides a new area for students to explore; teachers can accompany their class students for sensory activities; and school staff can use the garden at lunch time rather than sitting in the staff room. “The idea for the garden came from Mullaway Parents and Citizens Club, who pitched the project to Woolgoolga Rotary at last year’s ‘Pitch a Project’, winning the day.”

Another idea that could inspire an artwork is the Science and Engineering Challenge. Six schools came to Woolgoolga High from far and wide, including Coffs Harbour High, Toormina High, and Bishop Druitt College. “Challenges included building a bionic hand, a hovercraft, a turbine and an earthquake proof tower using just rudimentary components.” Written entries close at midnight on 17 September and artworks will need to be delivered to the Gallery by 6 October. This exhibition is open to Woolgoolga Gallery members while the youngsters’ category is open to all local children aged 12 to 17 years.

Life jacket wearing on our waterways By Andrea FERRARI

THE community is invited to have its say on two options to simplify and expand life jacket wearing requirements on NSW waterways, as part of the draft Maritime Safety Plan 2026. Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said more than seven out of ten people presumed drowned in recreational boating incidents, over the ten years to 2019–20, were not wearing a life jacket. In the Coffs Harbour region at least ten lives were

lost in the same period from boating accidents, persons swept out of flooding creeks or rock fishing, and none were wearing life jackets, Marine Rescue Coffs Harbour told News Of The Area. “Life jackets are without a doubt the most important piece of safety equipment for survival in boating incidents where people are forced into the water,” Mr Constance added. “We want to hear from NSW boaters on the two new lifejacket options that have been developed, because we need to make the law easier

for people to understand and save more lives on our waterways. Marine Rescue Coffs Harbour Unit Commander Graeme King said, “Marine Rescue NSW are reluctant to go with either option at this stage but certainly we will be encouraging the boating community to take part in the survey. “Marine Rescue Coffs Harbour encourages the boating public to wear life jackets all the time as you do not always know when a freak wave will capsize your boat when fishing near a bombora.

q Marine Rescue team members at Coffs Harbour; Paul McLeod, Ken McNeil and Steve Aspey. “The Coffs regional waters are relatively warm so if you are wearing a life jacket your chances of survival are greatly enhanced.” Under both life jacket wearing options, children

under the age of twelve will be required to wear a lifejacket at all times on a vessel less than six metres in enclosed and open waters, and in the open area of a vessel greater than six metres that is underway in

enclosed and open waters. To have your say on the draft Maritime Safety Plan 2026 and the proposed lifejacket reform options, visit haveyoursay.nsw.gov. au/maritime-safety by 24 September.

“it’s a huge van, and they’re serving ribs-to-die-for and hamburgers,” Maureen said. Meanwhile, Danni and Brad Brown, Coffs-local founders of Coastal Soul Food are offering their very own Southern Fried Chicken Po'boys. Po'boys are a Louisianaoriginated sandwich using predominantly shrimp, chicken and beef served with pickles and slaw.

“Po'boy’s are yummy, I’ve had them in America,” said Maureen. A new food stall is Katie’s Vegan Munchies. “They’re gluten-free and vegan, Mexican tortillas. “Moreish Pizza is really popular, too. “We also have stalls serving Lukey’s Loaded Potatoes, paella, Indian butter chicken and roti.” That’s the line-up for this Friday, opening at 4pm at Park

Beach Reserve, and packing up around 8pm or 9pm. “Once lockdown is over, we have heaps more foodie trucks coming in: Burmese, Portuguese, Mexican…we’re really excited about opening up after five months' closure over winter. “It’s really safe down there with lots of space and fresh air so everyone can socially distance when buying their takeaway food and waiting in line,” Maureen said.

Council makes submission to Regional Housing Taskforce By Emma DARBIN COFFS Harbour City Council has lodged a submission with the newly formed Regional Housing Taskforce in a bid to help address the current housing crisis affecting the local area. The Taskforce was formally announced in June 2021 by the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes to identify challenges in the planning system that are preventing the delivery of housing supply in regional NSW. The Taskforce will focus on technical planning barriers to new housing and will formulate recommendations to improve housing outcomes in regional NSW. The Taskforce will submit its findings and recommendations to Minister Stokes in September and

CHH

October 2021. The findings of the Taskforce may result in changes to NSW housing policies, planning law and future updates of the North Coast Regional Plan. Council stated in its submission that “changes in migration patterns and housing preferences resulting from COVID-19, growing unaffordability, low rental vacancy rates and mismatches between supply and demand are increasingly placing pressure on regional communities”. Council recommended in its submission that a “whole of government approach be adopted” to identify which matters can be addressed at which level of government. On 22 July 2021, Council resolved to develop an Affordable/Social Housing Policy which will delve into

www.newsofthearea.com.au q Coffs Harbour City Council has lodged a submission to the Regional Housing Taskforce detailing local issues around housing shortages in the area. Photo: Emma Darbin.

the issues as they related to Coffs Harbour at a local government level.

Council’s submission to the Regional Housing Taskforce also stated that the “rate of supply to market is lagging”.

“Recent developments by not-for-profits (such as Mission Australia) and private developers within the Coffs Harbour City Centre have not been built to achieve the maximum density and height allowances which are permissible,” the submission stated. The submission also called on regional areas that are receiving high growth rates due to the ‘flee change’ from cities to be provided with financial assistance to support the provision of

diverse housing stock. The submission also recognises homelessness in the community as an outcome of the issues in housing affordability, housing supply and adequacy of social housing in the region. Council proposed nine initiatives in its submission for the NSW Government to support housing delivery in the region including:

● Assisting delivery of diverse forms of housing ● Supporting Councils to expedite local strategic planning and statutory amendments ● Providing financial assistance to Councils ● Assisting with timely infrastructure delivery ● Introducing a Housing State Environmental Planning Policy ● Investigating

general incentives for developers ● Investigating regional incentives for developers ● Referring to overseas experience ● Providing information and education to reduce stigma Councillors unanimously voted to endorse and lodge the Council submission to the Regional Housing Taskforce.

OPINION & LETTERS

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

By Manny WOOD

Claim on missing person’s estate WENDY marries Harry. She has a daughter to a previous relationship, Penny, who lives with her father overseas. Six months after the marriage, Wendy and Harry purchase a home together as joint tenants. Wendy frequently writes to Penny and sends her gifts. Wendy also makes arrangements for Penny to migrate to Australia. Six months later, Wendy withdraws $1000 from her bank account and asks her neighbour to drop her off at the bus stop with a suitcase. All communication with Penny stops. A further six months pass and Harry contacts the police, stating that he has made every effort to contact Wendy and that he does not know what has happened to her. Shortly thereafter, one of their family friends reports Wendy as a missing person. Medicare records indicate that Wendy’s card had not been used since her disappearance. Wendy’s bank accounts had not been accessed and there is no record of her as a ‘customer’ of Centrelink. The police make further ‘meticulous’ investigations and 10 years pass. Penny makes an application to the Court, seeking an order that the ‘presumption of death’ applies because more than seven years have elapsed since Wendy was seen alive. After carefully considering the evidence, the Court declares that although Wendy’s body had not been discovered, on presumption of death, she is no longer alive. The Court appoints an independent solicitor to administer her estate on the basis that Wendy did not leave a will. Penny then makes a family provision claim against the estate, seeking an order that half of the jointly owned home be made available to make provision for her. She is successful in obtaining a substantial out-of-court settlement. If YOU would like a particular issue addressed, please email Manny at manny.wood@ticliblaxland.com.au or call him on (02) 6648 7487. DEAR News Of The Area, PERHAPS there has never been a better time for all Australians to re-evaluate what benefits three tiers of government give to the country. The odious spectacle of various Premiers throwing stones from their own glasshouses, as if the only game in town is to disparage those leaders whose Covid numbers appear to be less than those of their own, illustrates a callous disregard for the welfare of the people entrusted to their care. The country is hurting deeply and the lip service paid by those who, by virtue of their office, should be serving their communities

Penalties for the four Coffs Harbour councillors DEAR News Of The Area,

How wildlife is protected in State forests DEAR News Of The Area, YOUR readers may appreciate some background on how wildlife is protected in State forests (YellowBellied Gliders Take Refuge In Proposed Headwaters Nature Reserve, p34, 20 August 2021 Edition). State forests support a remarkable range of threatened and endangered species and significant biodiversity. These same forests have also been continually harvested for timber and regrown for more than a century. Forestry operations in NSW are strictly managed and well regulated to ensure threatened and endangered species and their habitats are identified, protected and continue to thrive even in areas where timber is produced. Less than one per cent of State forest is harvested for renewable timber products

each year, and only a selected proportion of the trees is harvested in each operation before the entire area is regrown. Before we touch a single tree, our ecologists carry out detailed surveys and planning to identify threatened and endangered species and set aside their habitat throughout the harvest area and in the surrounding forest. For each species, there is a specific set of rules developed by expert scientific panels that spells out the number and type of trees that need to be set aside to ensure they continue to thrive. Importantly, every harvest area is regrown to ensure the same forests continue to provide habitat, protect waterways and produce renewable timber for future generations. Yellow-Bellied Gliders are regularly detected in forests on the north coast

and that’s why we implement the strict environmental rules that are in place for all timber harvesting in our forests. These regulations include the need to set aside on average half of every harvest for conservation of species habitat and to ensure that important habitat features such as hollow trees and suitable feed trees are identified to be retained in any area where timber is harvested. We welcome the Yellowbellied glider sightings reported by community members, as this is an important sign that the State forests we manage are in good health, and we encourage any community members who do identify threatened species in the forest to share the information with us so we can ensure they are recorded on the NSW Wildlife Atlas to ensure they are protected, Regards, Dean KEARNEY, Senior Planning Manager, Forestry Corporation of NSW.

Time to Re-evaluate? with grace and compassion is sadly missing. Unelected medical practitioners are having too much influence and one gets the impression that this unfolding tragedy has somehow been reduced to a game of numbers. Increasingly we hear of the growing numbers of people, particularly the young, attempting to end their lives, in some cases ending in the tragedy of death. No one can put an accurate figure on the destruction of lives and livelihoods, such is the devastating effect of this virus. The loss of hope is a

18 COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

pernicious evil. If we are not careful we will descend into a form of tribalism that will encourage anarchy and make the ‘Lucky Country’ a distant memory. Perhaps, when the immediate crisis is over, it will be time to conduct a national referendum on the desirability of a simpler form of government, i.e. local councils under the umbrella of a federal government. Naturally, those with self interests will be opposed but this is in the interests of all Australians and not the privileged few. Today, however, it is time for the elected Federal

Government to take control; to use whatever powers are at its disposal to put an end to unilateral decisions to close borders, and to unite a country which is being fragmented because of the self-serving actions of the various state premiers. What we need now is strong authoritarian leadership, not the vaguely consensual agreements emerging from the National Cabinet that some Premiers feel they can renege on at any time when it suits their personal agenda. Regards, Norman SHANNON, Coffs Harbour.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

I’M upset as I’m sure the vast majority of citizens are, that our elected representatives are penalised for actually doing their democratic duty in supporting the community. It is the Mayor using her casting vote against the citizens wishes that should be sanctioned. The community is outraged that the Office of Local Government has postponed the elections once again and has not insisted that a caretaker mode be mandatory. The consequences will be political and I’m sure financial particularly in these uncertain times when we should be deeply concerned about our financial and social well-being into the future. Regards, George PARTOS, Coffs Harbour.

Councillors penalised over meeting absences DEAR News Of The Area, WHAT a pity they didn’t absent themselves when major considerations and decisions were being made despite huge opposition from the ratepayers regarding the total unsuitability of the location and use of the so-called Cultural building in parking space poor Coffs Central CBD. Many decisions have been made on only the strength of a casting vote, hardly democratic. The comments made by Ms Fishburn regarding decisions made in the best interests of the community are totally irrelevant. Community wishes have been totally overridden. Thankyou Councillors sorry you will be out of pocket. Regards, Ann DEANS, North Boambee Valley.

ABC, 9pm

TEN, 9pm

Curling up on the couch and tuning in to Rosehaven, we’ve all surely fantasised about moving to the fictional small town in Tassie and living a relatively uncomplicated life surrounded by pristine nature – and a handful of local shops, for good measure. Creators, writers and stars Celia Pacquola (pictured) and Luke McGregor have crafted witty and warm characters and situations which feel almost timeless, hinging on the relationship between best friends Daniel and Emma. As this final season unfolds, it’s bittersweet. Tonight, Daniel and Emma are forced to get creative to sell a property, without revealing where it is to potential buyers. Barbara (Kris McQuade) also shares some big news.

The TV-watching show phenomenon, which has had 15 different offshoots around the world, returns tonight for its 14th Australian season. Fans have lapped up the TV-talk spectacle for the past six years, but there’s obviously something special about the fly-on-the-wall doco slash comedy when old stars decide to make a triumphant return after calling it quits. In tonight’s season premiere, fan favourites and original TV aficionados, Adam and Symon, take their seats back at the couch for their unique analysis and reactions to the past week’s TV shows. Mick and Di, as well as Lee (pictured above) and Keith return, with some families, including the Silberys, participating via Zoom.

TUESDAY

AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR

TEN, 7.30pm

The moment fans have been speculating about has arrived, which contestant will leave the final tribal council as the Sole Survivor? The spectacle of pure determination, manipulation and brute strength has seen the 24 contestants push themselves to their absolute limits in the outback of Cloncurry, Queensland. Even host Jonathan LaPaglia (pictured), who “couldn’t speak it was so hot” at times, wasn’t immune from the harsh conditions. Billed as a battle between brains and brawn, who will triumph?

Locals back National Forest Statement By Andrew VIVIAN

A NUMBER of local conservation groups are

amongst more than 60 nationally that are signatories to the Australian Forest Network Position Statement.

q There is now a coordinated, national view on forest protection.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

The groups call on Federal and State Governments to immediately stop logging and all other destructive activities in public native forests. Their reasons are not new: that climate change and biodiversity loss hastens the extinction of species, particularly since the 2019/2020 bushfires in eastern Australia. Scientists and economists around the world are calling for immediate and far-reaching action to address climate change and biodiversity loss. One action that has strong support from experts, as well as overwhelming community

support, is to stop the logging of native forests. Australia's native forests are ecologically unique and provide invaluable benefits to our society. The benefits to society from healthy native forests are said to include carbon storage, water supply, erosion control, pollination, nutrient recycling and biodiversity. As well, native forests are culturally, economically and spiritually significant to First Nations Peoples and provide Australians with recreational and spiritual benefits. They point out that a significant area of Australia’s native forest is on public land, which means it is directly under the responsibility and management of governments on behalf of the public. The groups call on State and Federal Governments to stop the logging in public

native forests immediately, develop stronger regulations and incentive programmes to encourage private landholders to protect and restore forests, recognise the rights and interests of First Nations in the public forest estate and genuinely consult and negotiate on future forest management. In addition, the statement asks for an end to public subsidies across the logging industry, a ban on the use of native forest wood as biomass for electricity generation and investment in ecologicallysensitive farm forestry plantings for biodiversity and timber. One of the local signatories, Kevin Evans, from the National Parks Association and a driving force behind The Great Koala National Park, said, “Over the years, some groups have supported what

they call sustainable logging in native forests. “However, with the increasing severity of climate change and unprecedented diversity loss, everyone now agrees logging must end immediately,” he said. Mr Evans said the national agreement will now enable unified lobbying to gain bipartisan support for an end to native forest logging. He said the National Parks Association opposes the Federal Government’s plan to allow native forests to be used as ‘biofuel’ as part of its Renewable Energy Target (RET). According to Mr Evans, “This is absurd”. “Our local vision is that The Great Koala National Park will provide water security, a future for our koalas and other native species and local employment opportunities.”

to go to mine production in the near future including Corazon at Gordon Brook (copper-cobalt-gold), Castillo Copper at Cangai, Sons of Bavaria are looking for copper/gold at Ewingar, and an additional exploration application for gold and silver has been made by Wilson Investments near Coramba/Nana Glen and an area 25kms south west of Grafton. “The current exploratory mining and the potential for full scale mining has created great concern in the local community,” Clarence Valley Council documents stated. A Coffs Harbour City Council report on the issue stated that “parts of the Coffs

Harbour LGA feed into the Clarence River Catchment”. “Mining conducted in a designated water catchment presents risks to water quality,” the report stated. “Existing regulation and checks on mining company’s activities at State level is the only current protection from substandard mining practices.” Cr Sally Townley supported Clarence Valley Council’s stance which she said “is effectively seeking a moratorium on future mining in the Clarence Valley''. “It’s a really important water system, and also forms a part of our drinking water supply,” Cr Towley stated. “There’s a huge amount

of mineral exploration in the area, and in fact in our own local government area. “I think this is just recognising that the community at large are stakeholders and have expressed this view.” Cr Townley displayed some images at the Council meeting which depicted how significant the mining leases in both the Clarence Valley and Coffs Harbour regions are. “It’s a huge LGA (Clarence Valley); lots and lots of mining exploration, basically concentrating on the river valleys,” Cr Townley said. “Probably a quarter of our local government area is actually covered under

exploration licences at the moment, including almost the entirety of the Orara Valley. “It is potentially significant.” Councillors resolved 7 votes to 1 for Coffs Harbour City Council to support the adopted stance taken by Clarence Valley Council to oppose mining in areas affecting the Clarence River Catchment. Councillors Denise Knight, Michael Adendorff, John Arkan, George Cecato, Keith Rhoades, Tegan Swan and Sally Townley supported the motion, and Cr Paul Amos voted against the motion.

Council opposes mining in Clarence River Catchment By Emma DARBIN COFFS Harbour City Council has thrown its support behind Clarence Valley Council’s stance to oppose mining in areas affecting the Clarence River Catchment. Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight moved a Mayoral Minute at Council’s recent meeting on Thursday 26 August calling on Council to support the stance of Clarence Valley Council, following her receipt of a letter from Clarence Valley Council calling for Coffs Harbour City Council’s support. Clarence Valley Council

has adopted a position to oppose mining in the Clarence River Catchment and to seek both Federal and State Government support to impose a moratorium on further mining exploration licences and to cancel existing licences. Clarence Valley Council documents state there are a number of mining exploration licences active within the Valley and “the potential for pollution of the waters of the Clarence and Nymboida River systems is high”. According to Clarence Valley Council there are three companies who appear to be advanced in exploration activities with some potential

Council adopts amended Park Beach Contributions Plan By Emma DARBIN

THE Park Beach Area Contributions Plan has been amended by Coffs Harbour City Council to support the future growth of the area. The contributions plan seeks a financial contribution towards the development and level of infrastructure that is required to support the needs of this growing area. The Coffs Harbour Development Control Plan 2015 makes provision for multi-unit housing and tourist accommodation development at Park Beach. As a consequence of this additional development and having regard to the level of facilities already available, it will be necessary for Council to provide open space and recreational facilities, traffic management facilities, footpaths and car parking in

the Park Beach area. “The amended draft Park Beach Area Contributions Plan will support the increased demand on infrastructure within the catchment due to the local growing residential community as well as the new tourist population that is expected to frequent this area over coming years,” a Council report stated. “Key infrastructure items have been identified throughout the catchment area to provide improved traffic calming, footpath/ cycle ways, street scaping, additional car parking, enhanced active recreation space, and an amenities block, to meet the demands of the growing population.” Amendments made to the plan following its first public exhibition period in May 2020 include extending

the designated catchment area to include lands to the north and west of Hogbin Drive, increasing the projected lot yield to 791, reducing the term of the draft contributions plan from 15 years to 10 years, and consideration of the use of this space and facilities by the broader LGA community. Seventeen public submissions were received by Council about the plan following the plan’s second public exhibition period in July 2020. At Council’s recent meeting on Thursday 26 August, councillors unanimously resolved to adopt the amended Park Beach Area Contributions Plan to commence on 30 November 2021. Current development applications which are to be determined by Council in the

near future will be exempt from the new changes that have been made to the Contributions Plan. The Park Beach Area

COVID And Life Shatters Plans By Andrew VIVIAN

JUSTINE and Phil Moir left Melbourne with their three daughters at the end of 2018, towing a caravan. Their plan was to tour the country before settling on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. They did a lap of the country in 2019 and then planned a quick trip to Tasmania. However, because of COVID-19, they spent a year there, before purchasing a

modest house in Toormina. The house had had the flooring removed because of flooding and needed quite a few other modifications to make it liveable. The family settled here at the beginning of the year and planned to live in their caravan while working on the house. Phil works remotely as a Data Visualisation Analyst for a Sydney insurance company and was able to work during their travels, and intended to continue

while renovating. The family also planned for Justine to find work. However everything fell apart when Justine was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer. The house remains unlivable, so the family are currently house sitting at South West Rocks. Phil has been travelling and staying for three or four nights in a row to work on the house but he doesn’t want to leave Justine, who has begun chemotherapy.

The family needs to be able to pay tradespeople to help out and to install a second toilet, because Justine cannot share one while she is undergoing chemotherapy.

until 16 September. It takes around fifteen to twenty minutes to answer the questions and yourl answers are anonymous and completely confidential. Ms Sturgess said one of the outcomes of the 2018 survey had been its highlighting of the difficulty of accessing mental health and alcohol and other drugs treatment services in parts of the North Coast. This led to funding of a new service, Connect to Wellbeing – a one-stop-shop with a single phone number where people can connect with the support they need. The 2018 survey findings also directly led to the funding of other new services and the expansion of existing programs. Survey findings provided

information and assisted in the development of resources for GPs to help support vulnerable populations to manage their mental health and wellbeing, including youth, the general population, and the LGBTQI+ community. “Having a community voice at the centre of health care planning and decision making is essential in achieving better health on the North Coast,” Ms Sturgess said.

AFL North Coast support Northern Territory initiative to donate boots

By Aiden BURGESS

AFL North Coast is supporting an important initiative to get footy boots to AFL-loving kids in a remote Indigenous community in the Northern Territory. The initiative is being driven by former Sawtell/ Toormina Saints Junior’s President Jade Collon, in her project to provide footy boots to kids in Nauiyu, a remote Indigenous community in the Daly

The two women are asking for donations of new or used boots, and boots that players have outgrown or no longer use but that are still in reasonable condition. AFL North Coast clubs will act as collection points, with donations welcome from beyond the local AFL community. Anyone wanting to donate can organise to drop the boots to an AFL North Coast club once lockdown lifts through https://aflnorthcoast.com.

Coffs United right back Scott Cawley explained more about using fitness apps to maintain fitness and team spirit. “You can’t replicate a football training session but the next best thing is to try and keep up your cardio. “Although you can’t train as a team there’s lots of fitness apps where you can share workouts with friends or teammates to help maintain training and keep in shape. “It’s easy to stop training under lockdown but there’s plenty of fitness apps that help with training and create teamwork. “I use a Garmin watch

which is popular with runners and Strava is a good fitness app to share your runs, bike rides or any workouts with team mates. “Last year in the first lockdown a few of the lads from the football club got onto Strava and shared workouts with a variety of running challenges, I think it really helped with our preseason fitness and we started the season in good shape,” said Cawley. Coffs United midfielder Scott Goddard believes sharing workouts creates a sense of accountability. "We expect that each of us turn up to regular training sessions, and people will be wondering where you are if

you don't. “While not to the same extent, sharing what you've been up to recreates that sense of accountability,” said Goddard. Although players can’t train together during lockdown, the fitness apps can help with camaraderie. “There’s always a bit of banter and healthy competition around who’s hitting the fastest and longest runs. “Great way for us to keep an eye on each other over the off-season too. “The watch and apps give us a lot of feedback in areas to improve and measure our fitness levels, which will ensure we’re as sharp and ready as we can be when football comes back on,” said Cawley.

Former Coffs Harbour junior signs with Sydney Sixers By Aiden BURGESS

MATILDA Lugg has received the chance of a lifetime in her young cricket career. The former Coffs Colts junior has been signed by the Sydney Sixers for the upcoming Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) season. The young wicket keeper will get to learn from her idol Australian wicket keeper Alyssa Healy while at the Sydney Sixers.

She also joins a starstudded Sixers squad including Australian representatives Healy, Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, Erin Burns and Lauren Cheatle. The 21-year-old has spent the last three years playing for the ACT Meteors in the Women’s National Cricket League. Playing six matches in the Female T20 Bash, Lugg scored 110 runs at an average of 22 while also taking two

wickets. The new Sixers signing played her junior cricket for the Coffs Colts from 2011 to 2015, which featured two seasons where she averaged over 30 with the bat. Lugg looked back fondly on her formative years playing in Coffs Harbour. “Coffs was a really important part to the start of my career and there were some great coaches I had, local coaches, and a lot of

Snappers End Season in High Spirits By David WIGLEY

AFTER the second extension to the lockdown, Mid North Coast Rugby Union has called an end to the 2021 season and declared the round 15 competition leaders as the minor premiers. It was an immaculate season for the Coffs Harbour Snappers women’s team who won the minor premiership in style, going undefeated for the entire season. Whilst there was disappointment not to play finals there was buoyancy in the camp as players reflected on the numerous highlights of 2021 kicking off with Imogen Daymond in her debut season. “It’s my first season with the ladies and what a year it’s been. “Such an awesome season and made a lot of friends, dominating the season and completing it in true snappers style, I absolutely loved it,” said Imogen. Flying centre Brooklyn French echoed her passion for the Club.

Friday, 3 September 2021

“My second year with the Snapper ladies and like last year, we dominated the season and became closer as a team even through the ups and downs, I love our club,” chanted Brooklyn. The premature end was not how second rower Ashlee Downtown wanted to finish the season but she’s already using it as motivation for the next campaign. “Some quality rugby was played this year and as a team it was such a great feeling to get better and stronger each week. “We all put a lot of hard work in throughout the year and as much as it didn’t end as we wanted due to COVID, I know that we will work harder for the premiership next year,” said Ashlee. Assistant coach Ed Varbadasso was proud of the team’s development through the year. “Although it had a strange ending, this season was enriching and satisfying. “Being a part of this group of fine people has been a great

experience. “Engaging in the development of this team is something to be proud of for all of us, helping the ongoing development of experienced players while developing newer members into quality players and team members has been a group effort. “Going through the season undefeated and taking out the minor premiership is a good testament to all our hard work and team spirit. “Even though the season was cut before a grand final could put a rubber stamp on our supremacy this season, we all know who is the top team of 2021. “Be more than satisfied, be proud of our accomplishments this season,” said Ed. Coach Nicki Black looks upon the team as family. “Being a part of an amazing group of women that I now call my family, we’ve grown and accomplished so many things together, working hard with determination and grit we rose to the challenge every game. “Watching each player grow and be confident in their skill set and working together, having confidence in trying

off and running. “Having fun was the most important thing, they bonded together and created friendships. “I’ve helped with the under 10s also, you can’t be at two matches at once, the 10s team is managed and coached by four dads, we work it out every week and it just works,” said Joel. Joel started at Sawtell FC at a similar age to his two Daughters Lola and India and spent over 25 years playing in the

juniors, first grade seniors and over 35s at the Club. Club President Simon Portus praised former players returning to the club to help coach the next generation. “As a club it’s great to see past players coming back and coaching. “Joel has done a great job this year with a lot of first time players. you can see how much the girls in their team are enjoying playing and that’s what it’s all about,” said Simon.

Greta Smith described her captain’s role as a privilege. “Being captain of the Snapper women this year has been an absolute privilege. “Not just in the way the girls have played and improved but the way they have all grown as women and supported each other through all the ups and down. “It is obviously devastating to have to call the season short but an awesome title to hold minor premiers two years in a row and holding

that title as an undefeated team is an amazing testament to the ladies in the team. “We wouldn’t have been able to do it without the support from Matthew Joyce, Ed Vardabasso, Damien Butcher and Nicki Black all having an important role in coaching and progressing the skills of the team! “I can’t say enough how proud I am of the girls,” said Greta.

MNC Rugby cancels finals series and awards minor premierships By Aiden BURGESS

IN light of the recent lockdown, Mid North Coast Rugby Union has decided to cancel its scheduled finals series.

www.newsofthearea.com.au q Mid North Coast Rugby has cancelled its finals series.

The season's trophies and individual awards are planned to be presented at the Annual General Meeting. In a statement on social media, Mid North Coast Rugby outlined the reasoning for the cancellation of this year's finals series. “The safety and welfare of our players and the community are of the utmost importance. “Some teams still involved in finals have not played since July, and the earliest possible return to play date would extend this out to 7 or even 8 weeks. “There are also concerns about future restrictions on community based sport after lockdown.”

Lachie Montgomery plays in the under 14s and has been relishing the lockdown challenges. “I did 27 km in last week's challenge. I've been doing backyard drills and then hit the beach for small runs and football drills. “If we get to finish the NPL season we might not have much time to prepare so it’s good to keep in shape the best we can. “The challenges keep up the team spirit, it’s not the same as training but it really helps,” said Lachie.

Finals Series Announced Coastal Premier League Announce Finals Series

q Coffs United Lions will play Port United in the CPL semi final on Saturday 18 September at Forsyth Park.

Provider #PR-40000780

By David WIGLEY

THE Coastal Premier League (CPL) has announced that it will move straight into a final series starting on Saturday 18 September if the lockdown is lifted on Friday 10 September. The final four in both first grade and reserve grade was determined after all unplayed matches were recorded as one all draws. The final four in first grade are Coffs United, Coffs Tigers, Boambee and Port United, the final four in reserve grade are Coffs United, Northern Storm, Port Saints and Port United. Assuming the lockdown is lifted, finalists will resume team training on 11 September ahead of the semi-finals on 18 September and the grand finals for both grades will take place on Saturday, 25 September 2021, at C.ex Coffs International Stadium. General Manager for North Coast Football Andrew
