Housing Report FROM Page 1 In July 2021, the NSW Government established the Regional Housing Taskforce in response to increasing pressures on the supply and affordability of housing in regional NSW. The taskforce was charged with investigating regional housing issues and the planning barriers people are experiencing in buying, renting and building a place to live in the regions. An independent report from the Taskforce has now

been released by the NSW Government which reveals: ● More effort is needed to prioritise, coordinate, fund and deliver infrastructure to support new homes ● A need for collaboration between all levels of Government, the housing development industry, and the community to develop the right type of housing that people need where they want to live ● Calls to speed up planning processes and reduce duplication,

particularly where opportunities to provide housing are time-critical ● Faster rezoning and approvals won’t solve the problem alone and that industry, councils and government need to work together to turn approvals into completions ● Demand for more affordable and diverse housing in line with changing demographics, jobs growth, natural disasters, and migration trends ● The impacts of COVID-19 on migration ● Hardship due to the 2019-20 bushfires

placing stress on crisis accommodation Coffs Harbour City Council lodged a submission to the Taskforce last month in a bid to help address the current housing crisis affecting the local area. 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. NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the Regional Housing Taskforce report details feedback from consultation with more than 500 people across regional NSW. “The Regional Housing Taskforce’s report gives us a clear picture of the unique factors affecting housing in each regional community, and I want to thank every person who took part for their contributions,” Mr Stokes said. “The report confirms COVID-19 has accelerated an existing trend of people moving from the city to the

$19.9m Junior educational establishment proposed COFFS Harbour Christian Community School has lodged a development application to develop a new $19.9m Junior educational establishment comprising a Junior School, Middle School and a Special Education School. The new education complex is being proposed by the school to relieve current overcrowding issues at the school, which has a significant waiting list for future students. The current student population at the school consists of approximately 540 students, and the proposed new schools will be capable of accommodating up to 480 students and will contain 37 new classrooms. The school currently has a Junior School Campus, Middle and Senior Campus, and a Sherwood Cliffs Campus. A total of 270 students are proposed to transfer from the existing school campus to the new development to ease overcrowding at the existing campus and allow floorspace to be repurposed for additional curriculum needs, and the growth in student numbers with the new schools added will be 210 students. Additional growth of the student population to the

existing school campus is not proposed or planned. The new educational complex is proposed to be built adjacent to the existing school campus at Bonville Station Road at Bonville, and is planned to be constructed over six stages over future years as funding permits. Stage One will encompass the Middle School/Canteen/ COLA which is expected to accommodate 180 new students and six new staff, Stage Two will comprise the new Library, Stage Three includes the Admin and Staffrooms and Junior School (180 existing students), Stage Four includes the Middle School (90 existing students), Stage Five includes the Special Education School with 30 new students and three new staff, and Stage Six comprises the completion of the Junior School and Middle School with 270

new students and nine new teachers. The proposed education campus will generate employment opportunities during construction, estimated at over 80 construction jobs spread across all stages of development. There will also be new jobs for school staff including 21 teachers plus other staff, and the employment of migrants learning new skills (Myanmar refugees are currently employed at the school and are developing skills as stonemasons). The land has been the subject of a previously approved development application which has seen earthworks undertaken on the site to prepare for the development of the proposed educational facilities. This permits the new development to be as

Other facilities will include administration offices, a library, COLA, storerooms, sports store, canteen, basketball court, mini soccer field, and a skate/scooter/bike park. The 7-metre tall Library will be a focal point of the new educational complex and is proposed to be “the seat of learning for the School”. “It is a significant volume allowing for flexibility and adaption to the changing role of Libraries in the time of the internet revolution,” the development application states. The Library will also be capable of functioning

as the school’s assembly hall and will incorporate a wide covered COLA space for outdoor education, recreation and sun safe activities. The Special Education building is proposed to fulfill a specialised and underserviced role within the broader community and the education system. “Such students need higher care levels and a greater attention from staff and carers,” the development application states. The Special Education building is proposed as a standalone building, and is focused on students with physical or mental disabilities. Coffs Harbour Christian Community School was established around 1991 and currently accommodates Senior and Middle Schools with an intake of students from the areas of Taylors Arm in the south, to the Dorrigo plateau in the west and Red Rock in the north. The development application for the new educational establishment was lodged with Coffs Harbour City Council on Thursday 23 September and can be viewed on Council’s website at https://www. coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/ Building-and-planning/DAtracker under 0326/22DA.

Labor team reveals housing plan for Bellingen BELLINGEN Shire Council election candidate Luke Barbagallo and his Labor team have released a plan to address the Shire’s current housing crisis. According to the Labor team, housing is one of the hottest issues in the Shire and the community is demanding action on it. The Labor team has announced its commitment to accelerated and effective implementation of the Bellingen Shire Local Housing Strategy. Under the team’s plans, incentives will be offered to homeowners and landlords to create affordable housing for renters in the Shire, and the team will work to ensure all development in the Shire provides affordable options for low and middle-income prospective homeowners. The team also plans for Bellingen Shire Council to play a role in obtaining public housing. Key initiatives in the Labor team’s plan include: ● Accelerating the implementation of the Council’s existing ‘Local Housing Strategy’ ● Providing incentives for the appropriate rezoning of land and converting properties ● Incentivising landlords to offer secondary dwellings and homes at affordable rents ● Supporting and seed-funding a community land trust ● Funding the Housing Matters Action Group to help drive progress and policy in Bellingen Shire and beyond ● Pursuing the State and Federal

Government’s for a fair share of public housing investment Mr Barbagallo said there was already action being taken on housing in the community and this work needed to be further progressed within the Council chambers and by the Council executive. “What’s needed now is action to make the Local Housing Strategy a reality,” Mr q Bellingen Shire Council election candidate Luke Barbagallo said.

New rules for bowfishers CARP fish will now be in the sights of the state’s bowfishers, with new rules and regulations for the sport announced by Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall on Saturday. Mr Marshall said the changes would allow bowfishers to safely fish with specialised equipment in specific inland NSW waters while also helping control pest populations, and come following extensive industry and community consultation. “Carp are considered a noxious pest and remain the only species that may be taken using bowfishing equipment,” Mr Marshall said. “This is a popular activity, and bowfishers will now be allowed to target carp using an upright bow with a specialised arrow attached through a tethered line and a reel. “The fishing community asked the NSW Government to have a serious discussion about allowing bowfishing of carp, and I’m pleased to deliver this welcomed news today after the NSW Department of

q Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall with fisherman Johan Boshoff.

Primary Industries (DPI) conducted public consultation.” Mr Marshall said a successful trial of bowfishing for carp had previously shown it could be safe, effective, and provide economic benefits for rural and regional areas of NSW. “The Trial Program in 2016 and 2017 and its subsequent review identified that, with the right regulation, bowfishing is a safe and sustainable technique,” Mr Marshall said. “This is in addition to the huge environmental benefits that come from removing pest carp from inland waters. “It is important bowfishers understand the rules, regulations and technique surrounding the sport before taking up bowfishing.” To assist with education and awareness of rules and regulations, a NSW Recreational Bowfishing for Carp in Inland Waters Guide is available via the NSW DPI website at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/hunting/ game-and-pests/bowfishing-for-carp.

Bowfishing is now prohibited in tidal waters, entrances to rivers and lakes, coastal lagoons, all offshore waters and estuaries and all beaches across the state. Declared trout waters will be off limits to bowfishing to ensure separation between trout anglers and bowfishers.

Importance of Being Earnest’ is considered to be one of the funniest plays of the twentieth century and has entertained audiences all around the world for decades. Subtitled ‘A Trivial Comedy for Serious People’, the play is set in late nineteenth century Victorian England and is a farcical look at the conventions and institutions of the time. Known for his trenchant and sometimes cutting wit, Wilde creates a comedic story of love, deception and greed without making any moral observations. With a cast of nine and presented over three acts, Director Rex Madigan has worked through lockdowns and ongoing uncertainty with his dedicated team and is delighted with the outcome. “As the director I am very pleased with the progress of this production. “The cast have polished their parts and I know the audience are going to thoroughly enjoy this fast-moving comedy. Oscar Wilde’s wit is at the forefront in having a go at British society and ‘Earnest’ is one of the funniest plays I have seen,” he

said. The production will run from Friday 15 October to Sunday 24 October, with ten performances including matinee shows at 2pm on the weekends. Tickets are available online at https:// www.jettytheatre.com/the-importanceof-being-earnest/ or by calling JMT on 02 6648 4930 or visiting the box office Tuesday through to Friday 12 noon to 4pm.

Bioreactor Saves Waterways A SOUTHERN Cross University (SCU) researcher told News Of The Area nitrate levels removed from a trial of woodchip bioreactors in local blueberry and cucumber farms are the highest levels of nitrate ever recorded in a field bioreactor trial in the world. The woodchip bioreactors were designed by Local Land Services and trialled locally by SCU after Coffs Harbour City Council identified in 2019 and 2020 that there were water quality issues from intensive agriculture in

the area. Southern Cross University, Coffs Harbour City Council and Local Land Services have since worked together to find solutions to the high levels of nitrate from fertiliser runoff that was twenty eight thousand times more than water quality guidelines. The woodchip bioreactors that may reduce nitrates by up to eighty percent by helping reduce surface runoff from farms. The bioreactors were trialled in the Coffs Coast region where water quality

is being affected by nitrogen pollution from expanding agricultural intensification like protected cropping (hothouse) and blueberry farm run-off. Drainage from these practices can enter streams without any treatment. The two studies were led by the University’s PhD researchers Shane White and Praktan Wadnerkar, who are based at the National Marine Science Centre in Coffs Harbour. “Our bioreactors stimulate bacteria to consume the nitrate as a food source by using woodchips as a substrate,” said Mr White,

Photo: Southern Cross University. lead author of one of the reports. “The woodchip bioreactors are designed to convert nitrate to the harmless di-nitrogen gas. “Both bioreactors capture farm run-off, releasing lower nitrogen-laden water to the creek that would otherwise enter nearby waterways during rain events.” Mr Wadnerkar, who authored the second report, said releasing untreated hothouse drainage creates a significant risk to local waterways. News Of The Area spoke with Mr Praktan Wadnerkar

about the importance of reducing nitrate levels before they reach our waterways. “With nitrate concentration twenty eight thousand times more than water quality guidelines, the risks include causing algal bloom anda reduction in oxygen content and it is the biggest threat to the downstream marine park. “We encourage farmers to continue to improve on-farm practices and provide options to protect our valuable waterways while maintaining agricultural productivity.” Mr Wadnerkar said the blueberry and cucumber

farmers they worked with were very happy and cooperative about the bioreactor trial because they see the fertiliser run-off as a financial loss. The research project was funded by the Coffs Harbour City Council Environmental Levy Grants program. The reports are available on the Coffs Harbour City Council website.

Loved-up retirees Zoom ahead with wedding bells By Andrea FERRARI AFTER five COVID-induced postponements of their wedding celebration, Woolgoolga retirees Bob Breen and Rhonda Elliott-Breen celebrated their marriage via Zoom, surrounded by neighbours with 150 family and friends joining via Zoom on Saturday 25 September. The couple married in September 2020 at their

Woolgoolga home in the Plantations by Ingenia Lifestyle community with two witnesses, so that a very close friend could be part of the day before she passed. However, the broader celebrations were delayed, until Bob and Rhonda declared, “Zoom it”. Friends and family from Australia, USA, Papua New Guinea and England all

Zoom-ed in to the reception held at the Plantations clubhouse. Both Bob and Rhonda had been married previously and found themselves striking up a connection in Canberra in 2018 at a stage in their lives when they had both become single. “I met Rhonda through a mutual connection at dinner one evening.

Photo: Rex Clutario at Misty Optics. “She was visiting from Queensland and my initial thought was that it would be lovely to have a phone friend,” Bob said. “Neither of us was looking for a new romantic relationship. “But after our first meeting I had a clear thought, the unmistakable finger of God, that I should pursue her. “So, I quickly made plans to visit friends at Mt Tamborine, near Rhonda’s home at Jimboomba.

“I rang her the next day, stating that by coincidence, I was visiting friends nearby and that I would love to pop over to see her for lunch − and that’s how it all started.” Rhonda was initially hesitant of the courtship, having lost her husband, Richard, of 50 years only two years earlier after nursing him for five years. “I never thought I’d find another beautiful man like my Richard, and I did hold back to start with,

Perrottet elected Premier

DOMINIC Perrottet defeated Planning Minister Rob Stokes 39 votes to five in a party room ballot on Tuesday morning to be elected leader of the NSW Liberals and become the new NSW Premier. Mr Perrottet was sworn in at a ceremony at Government House on Tuesday, becoming NSW’s 46th premier and the youngest in the

state’s history at age 39. Jobs Minister Stuart Ayres was elected unopposed as the deputy Liberal leader. Following his appointment, Mr Perrottet said he understood the state’s trepidation and distress after the sudden exits of former Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Deputy Premier John Barilaro, as well as Minister for Transport and Roads

Andrew Constance in the past week. “I want to start by acknowledging the events of the last few days have been difficult for a lot of people - and I think we all understand why. “Unexpected change can bring uncertainty and sometimes that can feel unsettling. “But as hard as it may be, we all have a duty to keep going.

“Today begins a new chapter in the story of NSW. “One that we will all write together,” said Mr Perrottet. Paying tribute to his predecessor, Mr Perrottet said Ms Berejiklian’s “strong and steady leadership has seen us through so many challenges”. “She’s been an inspiring role model for many especially women and

migrant communities and - that’s just one of the reasons why there’s been such an outpouring of support over the last few days. “It is my hope that I will continue to live up to the strong leadership Gladys has shown throughout this pandemic.” Mr Perrottet said his first priority as Premier was to “continue the plan we have started - keeping

but Bob and I were meant to be,” she said. “It was a match made in heaven, and I believe that Richard sent Bob and that this is what he would have wanted for me.” Looking for a sea change and to downsize and declutter, the couple found themselves moving to Woolgoolga, for a new life together in July 2019 – the place they now call home. people safe, opening up the economy and securing our recovery”. As Premier, Mr Perrottet said he joins a long line of Liberal “infrastructure premiers”, but made it clear that he also intends to be a “family premier”. “(I’ll be) focusing on how we can make life better for working families - living the Liberal values of opportunity, aspiration and hard work.”

parts of forgotten history. “What I found interesting is every hour I spent writing, I spent five hours researching. “I was fascinated to come across the 1915 International Congress of Women (during WWI), a gathering of 1,200 women from both sides of the war, coming together in The Hague (Holland) for a three-day convention discussing: How to Stop the War and Maintain Peace, and Voting for Women. “They put out a document of their 20 resolutions; when I found that I was staggered I’d never heard of it before… it is little known. “If we’d accepted the resolutions then we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in now. “I’ve always loved research; I enjoy the process.” A lifelong book lover, Bruce says his father taught him to read and his mother taught him to write. “I was brought up seeing Dad reading three-to-four library books a week and Mum writing.” Another milestone in brewing his pipeline to publishing was a friend giving him a leather-bound book with blank pages, with the gifter saying, “For you to

write, because you need to.” With Rainbow Juice, his blog about community development, community education, social justice, eco-psychology and ecospirituality, born and blossoming, Bruce began penning books. He has two selfpublished fictional books and now Ironic Cross is about to spin off the presses and will hit the bookshops in November. The synopsis begins in 1868 with another European war threatening. Successful businessman, Wilhelm Müller, has a painful decision to make. His only son, 14-year-old Martin, must flee Germany before Napoleon declares war. Martin is distraught. How can he leave his beloved younger sister, Elizabetha, behind? In 1917 - with Europe at war, it’s no surprise that Kurt Schneidder, Elizabetha’s son, is conscripted as a

sniper into the German army; he has always been a crack shot. Martin’s sons, meanwhile, have enlisted in the New Zealand Tunnellers and find themselves digging beneath German lines in Northern France.

In the aftermath of the war to end all wars, inflicted wounds are not always physical, nor are they short lived. Amidst irony and futility, can unknown and concealed wounds ever be healed?

A WOMAN reported missing from the state’s north has been located safe and well. The 47-year-old woman was last seen leaving a premises on Crescent Street, Armidale,

on Tuesday 28 September 2021. She was reported missing to officers from Coffs/ Clarence Police District on Friday 1 October 2021, who commenced an investigation into her whereabouts.

Following inquiries, she was located in the Coffs Harbour area about 10.15am on Saturday 2 October 2021. Police would like to thank the community and media for their assistance.

A marvelous night for a Moonee dance By David WIGLEY

SLOWLY but surely musicians are returning to entertainment venues across the Coffs Coast and the patrons are lapping it up. The Orlandos rocked the Moonee Beach Hotel last Saturday with music ranging from Beatles classics to Sweet Home Alabama as locals let their hair down and embraced the return of live music. Lead singer Simon Gardiner said it’s great to be back on stage, but it’s a slow process. “It was great to perform at the Moonee Beach Hotel, as

you can see the crowd loved it, it was a marvelous night for a Moonee dance. “But the last two years have been a real struggle for us and most musos, we’re optimistic and hoping there’s light at the end of the tunnel. “We have a couple of gigs lined up but it’s a slow process and a long way away from normal. “We need music, it’s what we love and it’s what we do, we are lucky where we live on the Coffs Coast, our friends in Melbourne are having it tough so we’re making the most of what we have,” said Simon. Staff at the Hotel enjoyed

working in the vibrant atmosphere as Hayley Wiemers enthused. “Today we had the boys in to play and it was absolutely amazing, the crowd got up and danced, I even got up and danced, it was absolutely amazing, I love live music, it’s the best,” said Hayley. General manager of the Moonee Beach Hotel Hugh Gilroy said live music is a great way to bring people and the community together. “It's been amazing to be able to host bands and artists again, it's such a great way to bring people and the community together, and it's an industry that has had a

Roundabout concerns in Coffs By Andrea FERRARI

“I’M concerned,” Azalea Avenue resident John Widerberg told News Of The Area. John’s worries stem from the mishaps and lastminute driver corrections taking place near his home as vehicles come across the newly opened roundabout at a former Black Spot intersection. “The roundabout is too close to the house on the eastern side of the Azalea Avenue and Combine Street intersection,” said John. John lives in Azalea Avenue, Coffs Harbour, and says that within hours of the roundabout being opened to the public, vehicles were seen coming down the hill at speed and managing their control. “If someone loses control, they will go straight over the roundabout and into either

house on the Western or Eastern corners of Combine St and Azalea Ave. “It’s an accident waiting to happen…absolutely ridiculous,” said John. “It’s too close to the telegraph pole too, on the western corner of Azalea Ave Graham Smith lives on the corner of Combine Street and Azalea Ave opposite the most vulnerable house on the eastern side “Council finished the long-awaited roundabout and opened it on Monday 27 September. “The traffic was back to normal ‘til 4.50pm when a large truck drove straight across, leaving large tyre marks on the newly painted roundabout,“ Graham told News Of The Area. “Shortly after that the local bus came down Combine Street trying to make a turn. “The bus driver had to

Draft Flood Study Released THE Coffs Harbour City Council is reviewing the Flood Study and Floodplain Risk Management Plan for the Middle Creek catchment, which encompasses the suburbs of Sawtell, Toormina and Boambee East. Council has established a committee which consists of councillors, Council staff and representatives from the State Emergency Service, State Government and the community. The study will provide a better understanding of flooding in the catchment and how best to manage these flood risks into the future. The findings will be used to improve the existing

Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan and help coordinate immediate and future flood management works and initiatives by Government and the community, including flood risk associated with future development and changes in land use. Information from the study will also be used by the State Emergency Service (SES) during flood emergencies and by Council to manage development in flood-affected areas. The draft study estimates that costs to the community at $361,000 per year from the flooding of Middle Creek. It indicates that sea level rise and resistance to the flowing of Middle Creek

would have more significant influences on the peak flood levels predictions. Rising sea levels could cause a flood increase by as much as 0.6m for residential area opposite the Sawtell Bowling Club and swimming pool on Boronia Street and increased “channel roughness” within Middle Creek downstream of the railway could increase peak flood levels by 0.45m at the Boronia Street properties between Lyons Road and Wattle Street, and 0.3m upstream of the Lyons Road bridge. The documents relevant to the study are available publicly, online, during October. More details can be found by going to the Council’s “Have your Say” web page.

Food and Beverage virtual tour By Andrea FERRARI

DESTINATION North Coast is in the process of creating and launching a 'virtual' North Coast food and beverage trail, called the North Coast Flavour Trails. The project has been enabled through the North Coast receiving Federal Government, Regional Tourism Bushfire Recovery Grant funding and is being developed in partnership with Destination NSW and will exist on VisitNSW.com, thus leveraging their ongoing marketing efforts. The North Coast Flavour Trails online platform will support food, beverage and agri-tourism operators

from producers through to retailers. It will showcase North Coast products to new and existing markets and give visitors more reasons to come to the region and stay longer. Michael Thurston, General Manager, Destination North Coast told News Of The Area, “The North Coast Flavour Trails is a dynamic digital platform that enables consumers to research food, beverage, agri-business operators and everything in between across the North Coast. “The platform will make it easier than it has ever been for consumers to research the products and experiences

in this space and then through the journey planning element of the platform it will then make the sometimesdaunting prospect of navigating your way to these locations infinitely easier. “For businesses we are providing them with a free platform that if they are suitably digitally connected will enable them to reach new markets and consumers that would have otherwise potentially been out of their reach.” Destination North Coast is supporting interested partners with demonstrations and workshops to get the best outcome from listing. One such information

session is with the Australia Tourism Data Warehouse (ADTW) on how to enhance their listing to amplify display on the mapping platform. A key focus is on information about the North Coast Festival of Food 'open weekend' which will be the launch event for the platform. “The success of the North Coast Flavours Trail platform will be determined by the overall quality and quantity of North Coast food, beverage and agri-products participating, and the visitor experiences on offer.” For information contact Sarah Elphinstone at Destination North Coast at sarah.elphinstone@dncnsw. com or call 0410 448 570.

BOATERS are being urged to check their vessels and safety equipment before heading out on the water this month, because many have been sitting idle during the COVID-19 lockdown. Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said the October long weekend is the official launch of the Boating Season, with Transport for NSW expecting this to be our biggest season

ever. “Whether you’re fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding or water skiing this long weekend, please make sure you follow the rules to ensure a day out on the water doesn’t end in tragedy,” Mr Constance said. “We’ve seen an increase in the number of people applying for new boating licenses over the last year, so if you’re thinking of buying a

second hand boat be sure to check it over properly. “Lifejackets are the most important safety equipment on any recreational vessel. “In NSW you must service inflatable lifejackets once a year or in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Remember to check them every time before you get on the water.” In areas subject to stayat-home orders, including

Greater Sydney and some regional areas, rules relating to outdoor gatherings apply for boating activities. There were 17 boating related fatalities on NSW waterways in the year to 30 June 2021. 131 lives have been lost during recreational boating incidents over the 10 years to June 2020. Tragically, 79 of those lives might have been saved had all people presumed

Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Stacey Tannos said with around two thirds of all calls to Marine Rescue relating to problems with engines, batteries and fuel, now is the time to get your vessel ready for the boating season. “Simple things such as changing the fuel, oil and oil filter, checking the engine, gearbox and propeller; charging the battery, testing the electronics and making

sure you have the required safety equipment can mean the difference between a safe and enjoyable day on the water and a potentially life threatening situation,” Mr Tannos said.

Halving Of Emissions Welcomed By Andrew VIVIAN

THE NSW government says that it is set to attract more than $37 billion in investment by halving 2005 emission levels by 2030. The former Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, said decreasing emissions even further from the previous target of 35% of 2005 levels by 2030 shows that the government is serious about setting itself up for the future while helping the world decarbonise.

The government says that putting policies in place which give industry and investors more certainty will also help to protect the planet but to “future-proof our prosperity and way of life”. The former Deputy Premier, John Barilaro, said that regional communities will reap the rewards of the new industries set to emerge over the coming decades. Mr Barilaro said, “Whether it is in modern manufacturing, minerals

or agriculture, regional NSW is home to the skills, infrastructure and resources needed as the demand for low emissions technologies like batteries and hydrogen grows. “The entire State will benefit from the economic and employment opportunities in low carbon technologies, and we will continue to take action in a way that delivers more jobs and more investment for people in the city and in the bush.”

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh endorsed Mr Barilaro’s comments. “It’s great news that gives certainty to industry and investors.” Mr.Singh said, “This initiative will help grow jobs in regional areas like Coffs Harbour in the energy sector through investment in renewables”. The Nature Conservation Council of NSW welcomed the Government’s commitment to halving climate pollution by 2030.

WILD Thyme are a trio of talented local musicians who have bonded through their love of music to create a wonderful fusion of styles which brought joy to the Jetty Memorial Theatre last Friday night.

With varied backgrounds in Jazz, Bluegrass and Folk music respectively, they bring traditional music and original pieces they have written individually.

Its Chief Executive Chris Gambian said, “NSW’s progress is a brilliant demonstration that protecting our planet also creates jobs and attracts investment. “The UK, USA and now NSW all have committed to halving climate pollution by 2030.” Spokesperson for the Coffs Coast Climate Action Group, Liisa Rusanen told News Of The Area, “This is a welcome step forward, but supporting new gas and coal projects is inconsistent with action on climate change. “It is good to see

recognition of the economic benefits of renewable energy.” According to the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, New South Wales joins Tasmania, South Australia and the ACT in committing to 50% reductions by 2030 and net zero by 2050. Mr Gambian and Ms Rusanen both pointed out that more needed to happen on a national scale, with Ms Rusanen saying, “This shows how far the Federal Government is out of step with the states and territories and the Australian people.”

The trio don’t stick to any particular genre, and instead range across a wide spectrum including cutting edge Bluegrass, racing Russian Gypsy folk tunes to Balkan dance music and beyond. The future includes recording an album in the near future, writing more original material and performing far and wide.

Council to procure new Library RFID equipment By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City Council has agreed to go ahead with the procurement of RFID equipment for the region’s new central Library within Yarrila Place (Cultural and Civic Space project). The Library Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) equipment is used to automate and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of circulation, collection management and the

security of library material. Council implemented the RFID system across all three of its library branches at Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga and Toormina in 2015, which included the provision of self-check kiosks for customers, automated returns, RFID pads for staff workstations and book security gates at all library entrances. The new expanded central library in Yarrila Place will operate over

three levels and include a returns sorting machine on the ground floor which will be located in a dedicated library returns process room, self-check (customer self-service) kiosks, security gates and an upgrade of the current library’s existing self-check kiosks, which will be relocated to the new library and upgraded to accept customer payments.

Australia's campaign to end ageism, EveryAGE Counts, commissioned a nationwide poll by The RedBridge Group, to help understand the gap between the widespread prevalence of ageism and

our collective willingness to combat it. Research findings showed that 45 percent of Australians over 50 say they have experienced ageism in the past year, and 52 per cent of all Australians say they have witnessed ageism in the past year. Worryingly, 82 percent of older Australians who experienced ageism say they did not take any action in response. Of these 27 percent said it was because it was hard to prove, 24 percent said

it was because they didn't know how to respond, 22 percent said was because they were not sure if it was really ageism and 9 percent said they "didn't know what my options were". EveryAGE Counts is today looking to raise awareness that although knowing how to respond to ageism can be tricky, there are a range of constructive actions people can take, including setting up affinity groups at work, escalating complaints strategically,

more than $250,000. Council resolved at its meeting on Thursday 23 September to procure the new RFID equipment from its existing RFID supplier Bibliotheca to ensure continued integration of the library systems when the new central Library at Yarrila Place at Gordon Street, Coffs Harbour, is opened next year.

and understanding how to approach conversations that make a difference. "Ageism is pervasive, but often hidden. “The only way we can end it is to bring it out of the shadows," said EveryAGE Counts Campaign Director Marlene Krasovitsky. "Often older Australians feel powerless when we encounter ageism. However, if we know what it looks like and name it, we can take constructive actions in response. In this way each of us can help build an Australia without ageism. "People often don't know how to approach difficult conversations about ageism, but we know there are approaches that work better than others. “For example, it's tempting to argue that 'one day you'll be in my shoes', but the latest research shows people find it hard to conceptualise their future selves, and that it may actually be more persuasive to simply explain the impact ageism had on you personally. "Another example is ageism in the workplace – people may suspect they're missing out on opportunities

to learn new tech or skills because of ageism, but it can be difficult to prove. “Setting up an affinity group of older colleagues can be an effective way to compare experiences and identify patterns. “You may also take a look at your organisation’s Diversity and Inclusion strategy and if age is not included as a ground of diversity, suggest it is." Ageism Awareness Day ambassador Monica Trapaga is well known to Australians through her decades of work on stage and screen, including on the ABC's Play School. She said she was inspired to join the campaign to help raise awareness of this form of discrimination. "I've encountered all kinds of ageist discrimination during my time in television, and I know my experiences are far from unique," Ms Trapaga said. "It's something I believe we really need to start taking more seriously in Australia. “Yes, we're ageing as a nation, but that's only a negative if we continue to discriminate against older people and make unfair assumptions about who they are and what they can and can’t do. "Like all forms of

discrimination, the place to start is by spreading awareness. “So much ageism happens unconsciously, and it's allowed to keep happening because we don't feel sufficiently informed or empowered to push back. Ageism Awareness Day is about ending that and I couldn't be prouder to play this role." EveryAGE Counts cochair and former federal Minister Robert Tickner said Ageism Awareness Day was an important initiative and it was very pleasing to see so many individuals and organisations around the country having conversations about ageism and its impacts. "The proportion of the Australian population over 65 has doubled from 8 percent to 15 percent over the past 50 years. “We can’t keep discriminating against a fifth of our population. “We need to update our attitudes, structures, and practices. "Of course, the responsibility to act lies not just with those who experience ageism, but with everyone else. “Discrimination and prejudice survive when we turn a blind eye or allow it to go unchallenged."

NSW on the road to reopening

COFFS COASTNews COASTNews Of The Area

NSW will take its first steps towards reopening as the State passes the 70 per cent double vaccination target. With the first vaccination milestone being reached, the NSW Government is also easing a number of restrictions as part of the Reopening NSW roadmap, which will allow fully vaccinated adults to enjoy more freedoms from next Monday, October 11. The changes to the 70 per cent roadmap will allow up to 10 visitors (not counting children 12 and under) to a home (previously five), lift the cap on outdoor gatherings to 30 people (previously 20), and increase the cap for weddings and funerals to 100 people (previously 50). Indoor pools will also be reopened for swimming lessons, squad training, lap swimming, and rehab activities.

On the Monday after the State clears the 80 per cent double vaccination hurdle further restrictions will be relaxed, with people able to have up to 20 visitors (excluding children 12 and under) to a home (previously 10), and up to 50 people will be allowed to gather outdoors (previously 20). Up to 3,000 people will be allowed to attend controlled and ticketed outdoor events (previously 500), nightclubs will be permitted to reopen for seated drinking only (no dancing), and masks will no longer be required in office buildings. All roadmap freedoms at 70 and 80 percent will continue to be for fully vaccinated people only. All school students will also now return to on site learning with a range of COVID-safe measures in

place by October 25, with the second and third stages of the return to school plan now combined. Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 12 students will still return to face-to-face learning on October 18, with all other years now returning one week later on October 25. Premier Dominic Perrottet said the commonsense changes would help life return to normal as soon as possible. “Vaccinations are the key to life returning to normal and the changes today will help family and friends reconnect, get kids back to school and get businesses back up and running sooner,” Mr Perrottet said. “NSW is putting in the hard yards and it’s important people continue to turn out in droves to be vaccinated.”

Deputy Premier Paul Toole said workers in regional areas who have received one vaccination dose will be permitted to return to their workplace from October 11 and will be given a grace period until November 1 to receive their second dose. Regional areas are those outside Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Wollongong, Shellharbour and the Central Coast. “This move ensures we get businesses in the regions re-open and local economies buzzing again. It's about ensuring we make this a roadmap that works for everyone,” Mr Toole said. Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said these changes would help get more people back into work, especially in Western Sydney. “We’re on the road

back to normal and most importantly reaching these vaccination targets means people can reunite with family and friends, celebrate key moments in their lives and businesses can open their doors and get back to work in a safe way,” Mr Ayres said. Health Minister Brad Hazzard said NSW residents 12-years-old and over have led the charge to get vaccinated and ensure NSW is among the safest places in the world. “Getting to 70 per cent double dose is a badge of honour for every fully vaccinated NSW citizen to wear proudly but we can do so much more and 90 percent is within our grasp,” Mr Hazzard said. Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell said schools were ready to welcome students back. “The return remains safe and sensible with enough time for schools

VACCINATION rates across the North Coast continue to rise with 84% of those aged 16 and over now having had their first dose and 54% fully vaccinated.

Healthy North Coast Chief Executive Officer Julie Sturgess said overall vaccination rates in the region are increasing at about 5% a week, which is slightly faster

to prepare for a faster return of students over two weeks instead of three,” Ms Mitchell said. “Principals have received detailed guidance and checklists of everything required to ensure COVIDsafe settings in their school. Parents and carers will also receive a detailed guide today and more specific information from their school in the coming days.” If you are not booked in for a COVID-19 vaccine, please book an appointment as soon possible at https://www. nsw.gov.au/covid-19/ health-and-wellbeing/ covid-19-vaccinationnsw/get-your-covid-19vaccination-nsw.

Age Is Just A Number Wednesday 1 October, was the International Day of Older Persons.

By Andrew VIVIAN

WEDNESDAY 1 October, was the International Day of Older Persons. The United Nations declared the Day in 1990, and this year the theme was ‘Digital Equity for All Ages’, to affirm the need for access and meaningful participation in the digital world by older persons.

helping older Coffs Coast residents with technology. “A major factor is being able to explain technology to older people in ways that they understand,” Mr Scott said. He said he has searched for helpful YouTube clips, but they tend to be aimed at a younger audience. ”I’ve been fortunate to inquire into how things work all my life, but not everyone is like that. “The way the world is going, it will be harder for

older people to cope if they do not have adequate technology skills,” he said. The 2020s are also the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing, and Mr Scott, who is 74, cycles approximately 120km to 150km each week, mainly with the Dorrigo/Urunga/ Bellingen Bicycle Users Group, which has five members over 80. He said, “If you are fortunate enough to be able to do regular exercise you have a

She gets up at 3:45am to get to cycle and body pump classes. Mrs Henry said, “Your body and mind feel 100% better when you make the effort.” She also helps out with a senior women’s group in Bellingen, every Tuesday from 9am until 11:30am, behind the neighbourhood centre.

Mrs Henry said that it is important to help older people stay physically connected and that more locals should join in. Another factor that research shows facilitate healthy aging is creativity, and George Gardiner, who is 81, agrees. Mr Gardiner has been a carpenter all his life and continues to make things from recycled materials. He moved to Coffs Harbour 51 years ago and has participated in spearfishing, skin diving, karate, roller skating and ballroom dancing (which he taught for 30

years). He also built a roller skating rink at Bonville. Mr Gardiner makes shelves, tables, garden ornaments and other things from recycled materials – he has made more than 300 dog kennels, and turned 33 old wheelbarrows into garden features. Mr Scott, Mrs Henry and Mr Gardiner are amongst the many older people on the Coffs Coast who continue to nurture their own minds and bodies and make a continuing contribution to their community.

STRANDED in motels after selling her home in Boambee, 86-year-old Regina Saunders cannot make the move into her new retirement village home in Ashmore, QLD, because it requires her crossing the Queensland border With the border closed she’s currently not allowed into the Sunshine State. “There must be lots of other people like me, stranded and needing to get to their homes, having to wait for Queensland Government approval and spending lots of money on motel bills,” Regina told News Of The Area, from a motel room in Coffs Harbour. “I thought I was doing the right thing, down-sizing and finding a retirement home near my elder son, so he can ‘keep an eye on me’ at my age. “Once I’d sold the house,

I sent the furniture up and intended to drive myself up. “Then Queensland closed the borders.” Regina applied for a Queensland entry pass via the Queensland Government website on 17 September and received a no-reply acknowledgement. At the time of talking with NOTA (3 October), she had not received any further messages from the Queensland Government about her application. NOTA contacted the Queensland Police Service (QPS) about the border regulations. They suggested Regina contact the Queensland Health Exemptions Unit, to see if she can apply for a hardship exemption.

Berejiklian and Barilaro resign By Alice HENNEN LOVE her or hate her, Gladys Berejiklian was always there for NSW. As NSW Premier, she guided the state through bushfires, floods, drought and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Tuning in to her 11am media conferences became part of a morning ritual for many, especially for those who are in lockdown. On Friday 1 October, Ms Berejiklian handed in her resignation as Premier of NSW and from parliament altogether. While a shock to many, the signs were apparent,

with Ms Berejiklian stepping away from her usual daily media conferences and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) investigating her for alleged corruption, conflict of interest and her former relationship with MP Daryl Maguire. It is alleged that Ms Berejiklian met with Mr Maguire about an upgrade to a road more than 100km from his Wagga Wagga electorate, which runs past two investment properties he hoped to use as short-term rental accommodation. The Premier also

allegedly failed to disclose a conflict of interest when planning the M9 Outer Sydney Orbital; a project from which Mr Maguire stood to obtain a financial benefit. Incoming NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, who served until Tuesday as the NSW Treasurer, said, “I would like to offer my gratitude and thanks to Gladys Berejiklian for the leadership and strength she has shown throughout her career and especially during one of the most challenging periods any leader could ever encounter. “Gladys has worked

tirelessly before and through the pandemic to protect the people of NSW from COVID-19 and to ensure our great State remains strong and resilient. “The Premier has always placed the wellbeing and welfare of NSW first, showing an unstinting dedication to public service and a great love for her community. “The interests of the people of NSW must always come first, and the priority for the Government is to ensure we continue to keep people safe, and that we re-open the economy and get people back to work,

kids back to school, and life back to normal as fast as possible,” Mr Perrottet said. Following Friday’s announcement that Berejiklian would resign from the office of Premier and as a member of Parliament; Deputy Premier John Barilaro followed suit, announcing his resignation on Monday morning. “As we emerge from lockdown, we must embrace this time as a new beginning for our State, and welcome the opportunity it presents for a refresh. “I have decided now is the right time for me to hand the reins over to new leadership, and resign as Deputy Premier of NSW,” Mr Barilaro said. “In my time as Deputy

NSW Premier, Dominic Perrottet, said after the announcement that he was “deeply saddened at the loss of a close friend and formidable colleague in NSW Parliament”. “John is one of the fiercest and most effective advocates for the people of regional NSW that our state has ever known,” said Mr Perrottet.

SummerSalt 2022 comes to Coffs By Emma DARBIN

q Following two years of concert cancellations, news that SummerSalt 2022 is coming to Coffs Harbour is music to the region’s ears.

SUMMERSALT 2022 is coming to Coffs Harbour! The annual summer beach music festival has announced Coffs Harbour in its lineup of festivals for the Summer 2021/2022 season. Other lucky Australian cities named as sites for the coming music festival include Canberra, Cronulla, Coolangatta, Fremantle, Glenelg, Hobart, Ballarat, Mildura, St Kilda, the Hunter Valley and Wollongong. The Hunter Valley concert has already been announced for Saturday 29 January 2022 and the Wollongong concert will be

physical distancing at school pick-ups and drop-offs. “I know there remain some concerns in the community around the return to school, but students, staff and parents should feel confident our schools are as safe as possible.” Several measures are in place for a return to school, including increased cleaning activities and additional hygiene and safety practices, which have been bolstered by

supplies of face masks, hand sanitiser and surface wipes made available to schools.

Tick season AS the weather warms up, it’s essential to ensure that your furry friends are protected against ticks. Tick Paralysis is a severe and potentially fatal condition that requires immediate veterinary action, however, it is one of the most preventable diseases in dogs and cats. Known scientifically as Ixodes holocyclus, the paralysis tick causes ascending flaccid paralysis in dogs and cats, leading to an inability to walk,

inability to swallow and protect the airways, eventual respiratory paralysis and then death. Paralysis ticks can also have a direct effect on the heart, causing heart failure and without treatment, susceptible dogs will die. Dr Margie Roser is a senior emergency and critical care vet who strongly emphasises the importance of being tickcautious. “Ticks are particularly potent in spring and early summer when the female ticks are most active and

can travel in mulch, on clothing and in cars from the coast to inland regions. “They can then go on to infect dogs, so just because your dog didn’t go to the coast doesn't mean it can’t get a paralysis tick,” Dr Roser said. Symptoms include lethargy, lack of power in the back legs and inability to jump, vomiting and/or a strange cough. “Although the tick may already have dropped off, you should have a thorough look, with 90 percent of ticks found from the shoulder line forward “It’s important to feel all over the pet’s skin, in every crevice, between toes and

inside ears, searching for a hard scab or pinhead. “If this is a tick, remove it immediately and bring the tick and the pet straight to the vet,” Dr Roser explained. The most important thing is to keep the animal calm, as stress increases the effects of the toxin. A quick daily check on your furry friend can make all the difference, particularly after bushwalks or beach visits.

Callout for local tradies THE NSW Government is putting out the call for local tradies to install smart LED lights in NSW public schools, improving the quality of classrooms and cutting power bills. The $157.8 million LED Lighting Upgrade Program was launched last year as a stimulus response to the COVID-19 pandemic and is targeted at replacing old inefficient lights in NSW public schools with smart

LED lights. Now in its third tranche, the program will see more than 800 schools upgraded across the state. Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW, Industry and Trade John Barilaro said this is an exciting opportunity for local tradies right across NSW. “As a former chippy I appreciate the ongoing impacts of this virus on local businesses, and the NSW

Government is committed to supporting jobs and providing opportunities for tradies throughout the State,” Mr Barilaro Said. “Under this program, All LED lights will be manufactured here in NSW and installed by NSW tradies and this commitment by the NSW Government has the added benefit of improving facilities at our schools, ensuring our students get the best possible start in life.”

Youngster.co helps the young and the elderly By Andrea FERRARI A SERENDIPITOUS outcome has emerged from a tech service where our seniors can play a vital role in the resilience of our community. Tony Rothacker, the Emerald Beach founder of Youngster.co, has created an innovative program to help seniors with technology by connecting them with tech savvy youngsters. Over the last 18 months, Youngster.co has become a vital service provider helping many seniors with QR Codes, Dine & Discover Vouchers and now the vaccination certificates.

“The techie youngsters gain practical experience and learn how to listen, be patient and respectful and to be on-time with their elder ‘clients’,” Tony told News Of The Area. “Youngster.co addresses youth unemployment. “The evidence speaks volumes; over 350 youngsters are now helping our seniors across the region.” Recently, Karyn from Sawtell wrote the following about her experience receiving help from Youngster.co: "At the moment our life at home is from an age before technology.

New Dangar Falls platform entices tourism By Andrea FERRARI BIYURRGUNG-BirrunganGumburr guluun-ngaarlu naan.gal (Gods Rainwater)/ Dangar Falls upgrade was officially opened with the Dorrigo community and Gumbaynggirr Elders on Wednesday, 29 September. The new main platform at the top of Dangar Falls provides increased capacity for around 30 people, with significantly better views of the Falls while being fully accessible,

and a smaller plunge pool platform allows visitors a close-up experience of the waterfall. Indigenous elder Uncle Gary Williams opened the event with a Welcome to Country and spoke about the Gumbaynggirr name and importance of the Reserve. Bellingen Shire Mayor Dominic King followed by recognising the work of Council and the community in bringing the project to fruition.

New interpretive signage features QR codes for smartphone and tablet users to access video content and audio files that capture the natural sights and sounds of the area and help visitors identify ways to reduce their environmental footprint. “This is another significant step in our vision for expanding Accessible Nature-based Tourism in the Bellingen Shire region,” Mayor Dominic King told News Of The Area. “Dangar Falls, which are set amidst scenic agricultural and dairy farmland, provide a truly

and destination for the hundreds of families with children that visit Dangar Falls every weekend. “With the new viewing platform, the upgraded car park, playground and picnic area and 60 meters of new pathway, it makes for another great place for tourists to have a stopover. “It brings people into the town of Dorrigo; they can get lunch, and seeing the waterfalls is always something special. “It’s all part of our vision of putting Dorrigo on the tourism map; with the economic driver focussing right across the Shire being nature-based tourism. “This is a gateway to our Shire’s Heritage Listed National Parks “It was really nice to do the official opening on Wednesday; community members are super happy with it. “It was freezing up there for the launch, it’s nice to get rugged up and have a cup of tea and scone in Dorrigo afterwards.” The project was made possible through the State Government Regional Growth – Environment and Tourism Fund with the Dangar Falls project also seeing significant funding coming from Council’s Environmental Levy Fund.

The Department of Education has more than 2,200 NSW public schools and delivery of these projects ensures that schools across the state have access to modern facilities to support learning outcomes. Projects may include

new and upgraded covered outdoor learning areas, science facilities, toilet blocks, fencing and canteens.

Activity galore as the Botanic Garden awakens By Andrea FERRARI

THE North Coast Regional Botanic Garden in Coffs Harbour is awakening from winter and enticing visitors with a riot of spring colour. “Our resident plants, animals, birds and insects, will welcome you with delightful sounds, smells and colours,” Angela Lownie, Friends of the Botanic Garden, told News Of The Area. “Others will enjoy the serenity and hush of this unique bush garden and the lapping water of Coffs Creek.” Highlighting innovations, Angela said, “The newest

garden, opened in late May, is the Botanists Walk, highlighting botanists who contributed to our knowledge of Indigenous plants. “The new plants have settled in after a mild Coffs winter and are looking splendid in the early warmth of spring. “In the Botanists Walk we have created a look that is exciting and functional. “While not totally banishing the traditional bark mulch, Rick and his team have brought in local rock and a variety of gravels that give the new garden a contemporary look.

“The Australian native plants make this interesting design shine.

“The internal fit-out and surrounds of the impressive new Glass House, with its angular steel profile and reflective glass panels, is now in planning for the formal opening early 2022.

“By moving the African garden, the Glass House fits comfortably in its new setting, fronted by an expansive grassy area. “An interesting challenge will see the iconic Wollemi Pine, presently adjacent to the new building, carefully lifted into its special spot in the forecourt of the beautiful Glass House,” said Angela. The dedicated band of volunteers are happily back after lockdown, working with Coffs Harbour City Council employees who fill vital professional leadership and maintenance roles in conjunction with the Friends of the Garden Committee. The volunteers have many roles, from working in the shop to weeding the flower beds, or driving visitors around in the people

Will is following his passion and artistic talents and has embarked on a school based apprenticeship with local employer, Coffs Harbour Hardwoods, where he is undertaking a Certificate III in Timber Machining through TAFE NSW. In 2021, he will complete Year 12, and continue working full time for his employer for the remainder of his apprenticeship.

“I wanted to finish my HSC, but also start a trade, so I signed up for the BDC school-based apprenticeship program,” said Will. “Now my employer, alongside many other local businesses, is working alongside BDC to find other apprentices and trainees for their businesses, through the BDC Career Pathways Program.” Will is one of many students at Bishop Druitt College who is currently

participating in the BDC Career Pathways Program, designed to meet the emerging needs of students entering the future world of work, but also the needs of business and industry. “The program addresses the growing importance of career education in schools in preparing our youth for the workplace of the future,” said Mrs Gina Driscoll, Career Pathways Program manager.

VoiceUp supports survivors of child abuse to speak up By Andrea FERRARI VOICEUP Australia, the Coffs Harbour founded volunteer group based on support between adult survivors of child abuse and their support people, is back in action face-to-face after lockdown, with an application to government to expand support services for survivors. If successful with the grant application, VoiceUp will expand the model to more locations, starting locally on the Mid North Coast. The Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre has sponsored VoiceUp Australia for over eight years, who have a proven track record of success with survivors. A survivor of child abuse herself, both within her family group and in an institution, VoiceUp founder and social worker Chris Marks, 71, told News Of The Area, “Because the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in 2013 wasn’t broad enough, dealing

only with institutions, we built VoiceUp for all survivors, whether from institutional, families and communities, every context where sexual abuse occurs, which continues to this day. “VoiceUp is about survivors with a focus on speaking up, exploding the myths and raising awareness. “We’ve got a structure, free available information, a Facebook community that we know works - being there with and for one another. “At our monthly meetings we sit together, provide up-to-date information, resourcing each other and being safe in a room with people we know understand – connecting, sharing and supporting each other. “It’s important for many to know they can come, whether or not they chose to share their story.” Raising awareness of perpetrator behaviours is an important message to break the silence in communities. Evidence shows that the perpetrators are often well resourced, influential and

This innovative program has earned BDC recognition as a finalist in the 2021 Coffs Coast Business Awards - Excellence in Innovation category.

Child sexual abuse is not a problem of poverty, it’s across all levels of society, in all cultures and contexts. “People who are vulnerable are more at risk from perpetrators of child sexual abuse. “Now it is time for society to learn to recognise perpetrators and how they work,” said Chris. “Child sexual violation can be done by people we know; it is not always, or only, those who end up in jail.” The proven VoiceUp Australia model aims to stop the cycles of

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

By Manny WOOD

Cheap will costs thousands

JOE is married to Jenny and has two children from a previous marriage. Joe buys a will kit from the local Post Office for $20. Being a man of few words, Joe simply writes “I give my children enough money for a deposit on a house and everything else to my wife Jenny”. He then signs his will and Jenny witnesses his signature. Jenny asks him if he would like her solicitor to take a look at his will to make sure that it is all okay. Joe tells her that it would just be a waste of money. Years later, Joe passes-away. He has some cash in the bank and owns a property with Jenny as tenants in common. His estate is worth $500,000. Jenny’s solicitor advises her that she is going to need a Grant of Probate to administer Joe’s estate but because the will was witnessed by her, a named beneficiary, her entitlement is void unless the Court is satisfied that Joe ‘knew and approved’ the contents of the will and that it was made ‘freely and voluntarily’. Jenny is further advised that because the execution of the will was not witnessed by two ‘not interested’ witnesses, the Court will require evidence of the circumstances surrounding the execution of the will and of Joe’s intentions. This is a problem because there are no corroborating witnesses. To complicate matters, Joe’s children are advised that their entitlement under the will is not ‘sufficiently certain’, so they commence a Family Provision Application to protect their rights. Had Joe listened to Jenny and sought advice regarding his will, his loved ones would have saved thousands of dollars in legal fees and avoided the delays and stress in what could have been a straightforward administration. Thank you to Jamie Visco for his assistance with this column. If YOU would like a particular issue addressed, please email Manny at manny.wood@ticliblaxland.com.au or call him on (02) 6648 7487.

COMMUNITY Feedback Sought on Brelsford Park Masterplan Features FOLLOWING a successful grant bid of nearly $5m for improvement works, the Brelsford Park Masterplan and Precinct Plan are to go on display for community feedback from today (Friday, 8 October 2021) until 4 November 2021. The Masterplan was developed in consultation with the community and adopted in 2013, with the objectives of transforming the park into a lively and inclusive hub for community wellbeing, culture and leisure. Community feedback is being sought to help

inform the detailed design and planning of three key elements: • the civic entry; • water play; and • community event space. The Masterplan also includes broad shared paths that connect Earl Street to Curacoa Street and two arching paths from Earl Street to Albany Street. The tennis courts were omitted from the study pending a tennis feasibility study, which is currently nearing completion. In July, Federal Member for Cowper, Pat Conaghan, State MP for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh and Coffs Harbour Mayor Councillor Denise Knight announced that Council is to receive

$4,997,620 from the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund (BLERF) for the Brelsford Park upgrade. The grant covers the paved civic entry and water play, community event space including small stage and amphitheatre, mobile kiosk location, additional public toilets, pathways, main path lighting, picnic facilities and seating, shade tree plantings and drainage improvements. To view the Draft Brelsford Park Masterplan and Precinct Plan – and to make a submission – go to Council’s Have Your Say website at https:// haveyoursay.coffsharbour. nsw.gov.au/. Submissions close on 4 November 2021.

Responsibility and Respect DEAR News Of The Area,

WHY is it when a huge amount of money is being expended the elected councillors have chosen to walk away from their duty and responsibility to the ratepayers? It appears the elected councillors are removing themselves from any responsibility from the inevitable blowouts in this

unwanted project. Of course some of those councillors may not be there after the delayed elections in which case they will not be “left with egg on their face”. Surely jeopardising a construction contract at this stage would be much better in the long run in these uncertain times and amidst the wishes of many in our community.

I LOVE the street library concept. It offers all the best parts of borrowing a book (flicking through titles, locating a classic, the anticipation of lazy Sunday afternoons draped on a chaise with a cat, a cup of tea, and some dog-eared pages ... and all of it without the cost of a new book, the fines of a library and the philanthropic joy of giving and receiving during a stroll in your neighbourhood. Now, to your question. For a start, literary merit doesn't always equate to a best seller. Take this line for example: 'His voice is warm and husky like dark melted chocolate fudge caramel... or something." Dark melted chocolate fudge caramel? Or something? If a 10-year-old wrote this in their written expression book, they'd be pulled up for starting the sentence in a verbose manner and finishing it by being lazy or unimaginative, and yet this book topped best-seller lists with its combination of cringey writing and a stalking, manipulative protagonist. I understand where you're coming from, though. Is it okay, for example, to swap a pristine copy of Wuthering Heights for a muddy version of Bombproof Your Horse, admittedly an interesting read, but with a very limited prospective audience, or Knitting With Dog Hair: Better a sweater from a dog you know and love than from a sheep you'll never meet (both real titles, by the way). I feel that in the same vein as 'an eye for an eye', you really should swap a decent book for a decent book, particularly when this free community service has a significant feel-good factor about it. Carpe diem, Jasminda. man’s leg with a sock on the foot! Many years later, his older brother described how Clarrie exclaimed “Here’s Matt’s leg!” and ran to the nearby house of Mrs Josepha Lee to tell her, before running home as fast as he could to inform his father. On his father’s inquiry as to how he knew it was Matt’s leg, Clarrie replied, “Oh, I know its Matt’s because I often saw them when he had his trousers rolled up.” Constable May, his helper and prisoner were only a few yards into their walk back to the hotel when the Constable received word of Clarrie Shepherd’s discovery. He immediately changed course, taking the group to the site where the leg was discovered, around 2 kms from Friske’s hut.

Once upon a time in Pine Creek State Forest DEAR News Of The Area,

IN response to the letter ‘How wildlife is protected in State Forests’ (Coffs Coast News Of The Area, September 3 Edition). National Parks and Wildlife withdrew the licences for logging in Pine Creek State Forest in October 1995 as a consequence of extensive

clear-felling of core koala habitat (approximately 30 Ha or 70 acres). Reports were prepared by two independent scientists, and it was scathing. “Clear felling in Pine Creek State Forest is far removed from ecologically sustainable forestry and can only be described as conversion of native forests

to tree farms,” the report read. “Unharvested trees left standing after removal of Sawlogs appear to have been bulldozed, windrowed and burnt before the areas were replanted with plantation species. “Undoubtedly koalas and gliders were killed by logging.” As a result, a koala

a concept of protecting any species other than for commercial purposes and practically every species in the forest other than Blackbutt and Flooded Gum became targeted. “You don’t do the forest any favours by bringing in all the Blackbutt and Flooded Gum.” The original forest in Pine Creek as described by E.H.F. Swain (District forest Bellingen) in 1912 listed Grey Gum, Tallowwood and Brush Box as the major wood species on the ridges with Blackbutt last and the forest floor smothered with

tree ferns and Burrawangs. With multiple rainforest species in the gullies. Forest practices on the Mid North Coast have converted these moist sclerophyll forests into dry blackbutt forests. The new Integrated Forest Operations Approval, allows clear-felling of native forest up to 45 hectares, larger than the devastation of 1995. The attempted ‘Green Wash’ by Forestry is just that.

daughter since then as her condition has deteriorated but we get nowhere. Today we have a new plan but it is not sufficient for her service provider. So many people are working so hard on her behalf, many hours I am sure without pay but we just draw a blank. I sincerely thank them. Why does it take so long for the NDIS or NDIA to authorise funding to those in desperate need? Surely they should have funds set aside for emergencies or those in crisis. Why can they not increase funding when the need arises? There is so much wastage in the system with all the red tape, it must be costing a fortune keeping

her in hospital rather than at home. I am sure there must be many other families in similar situations as we are. When you are over 65 there are many ways that the health system can assist your discharge from hospital to go home with some extra help. The NDIS just don’t appear to understand what it takes to support people when their circumstances take a sudden change for the worst and they are in a crisis. They end up in hospital for weeks and weeks occupying a valuable hospital bed meant for sick people. The nursing staff and all the people that have met my daughter in hospital have been so kind and wonderful to her. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. I wish I was 20 years

younger, I wish my house was large enough to have her home with me. I am so tired, my heart breaks for her as she repeats “I go home, please take me home” over and over again. The NDIS had such promise but look at it now. Thank goodness you have to be over 65 to go into a nursing home. It is no place for people like my daughter, it is for the older person. So far there has been no alternative places allocated for the younger person facing end of life or needing complex respite care. We need a purposely built home, adequately staffed for their needs in Coffs Harbour. Where do you start, who will take up the challenge?

THESE lounges found dumped in Moonee Creek were spotted by News Of The Area reader Pauline while she was out walking Upon spotting the

lounges, Pauline contacted Coffs Harbour City Council who said they would send a team to retrieve. “This is an example of population increase in

Moonee Beach and the mentality of some,” said Pauline. “It is also exacerbated by not having the bi-annual Council clean up,” she said.

management plan was required before logging could resume. A part of this plan included testimonies from former loggers and exForestry workers “who were concerned at the over logging with the advent of ‘integrated logging’ 1990”. “You need a range of species to make a sustainable forest. “Until the conservationists strengthened their attack, there didn’t seem to be

Shortcomings of the NDIS DEAR News Of The Area, WE hear of so many people complaining of lock down or having to have a needle. I wonder how they would tolerate being confined to a hospital bed for weeks on end waiting to go home. You have strangers coming and going around you, you are confused and very frightened. All you want is to go home so you persistently call out “I go home” but nobody listens to you. Visitors get greeted with “You take me home” all to

no avail. It is heart-rending. My daughter was admitted to hospital in July. She is 47 and has Down syndrome and early onset dementia which has been hard enough for her to understand, especially when she used to be so in control of her life. She has been ready for discharge since the beginning of June. She was improving each day but now she is so distraught the stress has taken over. She has been with a

local disability support service provider for nearly 30 years. They have declined to take her home from hospital without adequate funding and have failed to have sufficient staff to care for her safely. When her NDIS plan was reviewed on May 5 we asked for an increase in funding. It was cut instead. This has happened to so many people for no apparent reason. There have been several reviews for my

How did wildlife survive before Forestry Corporation Lounges found dumped came along? in Moonee Creek DEAR News Of The Area,

AFTER reading ‘How wildlife is protected in State forests’ by Dean Kearney of Forestry Corporation (News Of The Area, September 3 2021 Edition, p18), one wonders how wildlife survived before Forestry Corporation came along. A great piece of public relations. What isn’t mentioned are things like: - The approval from EPA is in effect a ‘licence to kill’ that protects Forestry Corporation from prosecution when native animals are killed or injured during logging. - Hollow bearing trees are in crisis for hollow dependent animals (all possums, gliders, owls and parrots) but are still legally cut down by Forestry Corporation who leave a ‘strict’ amount for endangered species only. It’s ironic to leave a nesting tree for a powerful

Friday, 8 October 2021

owl but cut down the hollows that are necessary for the prey that allow the owl to live, don't you think? Then when the remaining grand old tree falls whoopee no more ‘strict’ requirement necessary – the fauna study reveals the owl has gone. - If requirements for endangered species keep being reduced to a ‘strict’ minimum requirement, how can they possibly increase it doesn’t make sense, it just adds pressure to the animals. - Logging has changed dramatically over the past 100 years. It is no longer a crosscut saw taking a 300cm tree or a chainsaw taking a 90cm tree, it’s a massive machine slicing through a 35cm tree - or should I say sapling – and leaving bare earth. - The areas ‘set aside’ can be logged within a few years and planted with single species trees.

Then in the future because the density of tree species is reduced by the logging process itself and has been reduced to ‘even aged plantation like status’. Hey, let's just make it a plantation. The State Forest public relation exercise would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. The North Coast wet sclerophyll forest is second only to rainforest in diversity. Let’s not forget it was on Forestry Corporations watch we lost almost all our rainforest – are we now going to lose all our precious wet sclerophyll eucalypts as well. The biggest threat to our wildlife is loss or modification of habitat and logging now does both these things and it is becoming a permanent change.

Man charged after alleged pursuit – Woolgoolga A MAN has been charged following a police pursuit in Coffs Harbour. About 10.40pm (Tuesday 5 October 2021), police were on Scarborough Street for an unrelated matter when they observed a Holden Commodore

sedan approaching. Police signalled for the vehicle to stop, before the Commodore was allegedly driven toward a male Sergeant. The vehicle’s tyre was punctured, before the driver fled the scene at

speed. A short time later, officers from Coffs/ Clarence Police District sighted the vehicle at Scarborough Street and a pursuit was initiated. The vehicle travelled throughout Woolgoolga

onto Woolgoolga Creek Road, before stopping a short distance later. The driver allegedly fled on foot into nearby bushland. About 11.20pm, responding police located and arrested a 19-year-old man. He was taken to Coffs Harbour Health Campus

The Agriculture Visa will be a helping hand for Nambucca Valley farmers FARMERS and primary producers in the Nambucca Valley are a step closer to benefitting from the Federal Government’s new Australian Agriculture Worker Visa. The Government amended the Migration Regulations on 30 September 2021 to create the Australian Agriculture Worker Visa (Ag Visa) and continue along the pathway of providing a functional visa that will help secure the future of rural and regional Australia. This historic announcement that the Ag Visa is now law ensures the visa will help secure the long-term labour force that local farmers desperately need. Pat Conaghan, Federal Member for Cowper, said the Agriculture Visa will

also create a pathway to permanent residency for those workers who will help secure the future of our region. “We promised this Visa and here it is. “The creation of the Ag visa under the Migration Regulations is a landmark moment for the sector and delivers on our promise to have it in place this year,” Mr Cowper said. “The Ag Visa will be the biggest structural change to the agricultural workforce in our nation’s history and producers across the Mid North Coast are poised to be able to grab the benefits with both hands. “The visa will be available to seasonal workers, skilled and semiskilled workers. “And it is not just those on the farm that benefit,

the fisheries, forestry and agricultural processing sectors will also get access to workers under this visa. “Worker restrictions have always been a problem, but it has been taken to the next level with COVID and the subsequent closure of international and internal borders. “We now have a visa that will give the Mid North Coast a long term, reliable workforce for its crucial agricultural industries.” The new regulation provides a new Australian Agriculture Worker stream which will provide for the entry and temporary stay of workers across all industries sectors. Any workers will also need to meet the necessary Federal and State quarantine requirements.

COFFS Harbour region residents are encouraged to enlist as volunteers in an annual wildlife survey program in Bongil Bongil National Park looking for wildlife including koalas. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Area Manager Glenn Storrie said the purpose of the annual survey program, running since 2013, is to monitor wildlife presence

and health in the national park year to year. “Community volunteers will be trained and equipped to conduct nighttime surveys recording the presence of wildlife they might encounter,” Mr Storrie said. “This year due to COVID we have delayed the start a month. Appropriate, COVID-safe measures such as effective

social distancing will be incorporated into this year’s surveys,” he said. “This is an exciting wildlife survey program that most participants thoroughly enjoy and look forward to every year. Walking through the forest at night with a powerful spotlight can reveal a range of native animals not normally seen during the day.”

Koala spotters wanted

“In previous years the teams have discovered a regionally significant population of the rare Yellow-bellied Glider while conducting these surveys so koalas are not the only interesting native animals they encounter.” “Teams walk the park’s trails using NPWS survey gear, such as spotlights and audio equipment, and will be supervised and managed by an experienced wildlife ranger, collecting valuable data.” “The surveys are

conducted just after sunset in the middle of the koala breeding season in late October to early November, at a time when koalas are on the move, most vocal and most likely to be seen.” Volunteers are required to conduct the two-hour surveys beginning just after dark. They are held every four nights, a total of five nights work over 16 days. Surveys this year begin at 7.00pm from Monday 25th October 2021 near Repton. A short information and training session for

Whether you are a diehard James Norton fan, a convert to the charms of relative newcomer Tom Brittney, or an admirer of Robson Green, there’s something for everyone in Grantchester. As this British drama has developed over ﬁve seasons, its charisma and heart have stuck around, even as much-loved actors have departed. Tonight, in the second episode of the fresh instalment, Will (Brittney) and Geordie (Green) negotiate a complex family dispute involving a local adoption agency.

Laced with a big whack of cynicism, a generous slice of wit, and a swathe of experts, it’s no wonder Gruen – the only show in Australia that dissects ads and marketing – is returning tonight for its 13th season. Whether you are an ad junkie, work in marketing, have a soft spot for host Wil Anderson, or simply enjoy watching experts discuss and reveal the secrets behind their craft, it’s a reliably entertaining and educational 30 minutes. The tone can be serious, but most of the time the panellists are keen to entertain the audience.

Providing more businesses with Covid-19 financial support

www.newsofthearea.com.au

A NEW Hardship Review Panel has been established to consider financial support for businesses experiencing financial hardship that do not qualify for COVID-19 business support measures. The panel will assess on a case-by-case basis businesses which did not meet the eligibility requirements for the 2021 COVID-19 Business Grant,

Micro-business Grant and JobSaver payments. Minister for Finance and Small Business Damien Tudehope said the Review Panel would help those businesses experiencing genuine financial hardship that were previously ineligible for support payments and grants. “COVID-19 has affected so many businesses in NSW

and even though we have a number of support measures in place, there are still some businesses under severe financial strain that aren’t eligible for assistance for a number of reasons. We want to plug that gap as much as we can,” Mr Tudehope said. The Review Panel will include representatives from Revenue NSW, NSW Treasury and Service

NSW and will make recommendations on businesses’ eligibility for relevant support payments and grants. It will consider a broad range of factors in determining whether a business has experienced financial hardship, with the Chief Commissioner of Revenue NSW to be ultimately responsible and

make the final determination for applications. “My message to small businesses is this – no matter what corner of the state you're in, we will be there with you all the way as we navigate this global health pandemic,” Mr Tudehope said. Factors that the hardship panel will consider include, for example, whether the business is an employer, in a highly impacted industry, in an LGA of concern or

ALMOST 500 foreign workers will be added to the state’s agricultural workforce, joining the more than 2,000 whose arrival the NSW Government has already aided, to provide additional support to industry through the COVID-exacerbated labour shortage. Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall said while this would be welcomed news for the state’s farmers,

the NSW Government was constantly reviewing its support measures to give industry the best help it can, and that continued today. “NSW has the cheapest quarantine arrangements and has provided more support for its farmers than any other jurisdiction, whether it be through drought or the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean more can’t be done,” Mr Marshall

percent, making our hotel arrangements far and away the cheapest in the country. “I am constantly working with industry to look for the best ways to overcome evolving challenges. “I’ve recently requested the NSW Department of Primary Industries explore even more opportunities to make things cheaper and quicker for our farmers.” Mr Marshall said

potential options could include quarantine arrangements in home countries or on-farm, and these would be discussed at the upcoming East Coast Agricultural Labour Task Force, which all relevant states had signed up for. “These workers come from countries with lowto-zero rates of COVID transmission, and as our own situation in NSW has changed recently, it means

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu students back after lockdown By David WIGLEY

BRAZILIAN Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) students have returned to grappling and throw downs after the lockdown interrupted preparations for their upcoming competition. Head instructor Cris Hisa has a deep history with the martial arts, growing up in a traditional Japanese Samurai family and now trains under q Jamie Baker (black gi), Jon Gould (blue gi).

the Hisa Samurai emblem from his father’s lineage. Cris explained some of the challenges of the recent lockdowns. “Like many schools we had to close down temporarily during the lockdown and our routine fell apart as we were training hard for competition. “We were working on specific techniques like low risk/high success rate attacks

and also takedowns with a black belt judo instructor Jonathan Gould. “Unfortunately these are things which are not suitable to learn alone at home so we temporarily switched our focus to strengthening the core which has helped since we returned to the mats. “The current group of students is mentally strong and has embraced the BJJ

way where dedication and discipline is essential to accomplish your goals and to progress. “BJJ, with its attacks and defence, is pretty much like a chess game, where you can use a move to trap your opponent or force an error; overall you need to constantly find a solution to what is presented in front of you, and fast,” said Cris.

When Cris’s father moved to Brazil, he became embraced in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu where the teaching lineage stemmed from the Gracie family, but Cris says BJJ is all inclusive and suitable for everyone. “Even if you are not a competitor like most of our students, you will enjoy BJJ as it effectively helps you transforming and building a

strong mind and body, as well as building your confidence and be better prepared to handle physical altercations with our self-defence techniques for both women and men, big or small, strong or weak. “We train most days, for more information check out our Facebook page or contact us at info@crishisabjjteam. com.au,” said Cris.

By Aiden BURGESS

FORMER Coffs Harbour Suns junior Kristy Wallace has been part of the Australian Opals team who have taken on the best of Asia. The 25-year-old made her Opals debut during last week’s FIBA Women’s Asia Cup in Jordan, and was part of the Opals team who took home the bronze medal. The Opals beat Korea 88-58 in the bronze medal game. The Opals lost a heartbreaking semi-final to the four-time defending champions and eventual winners Japan by just 2

points, 67-65. Wallace was one of the Opals best players in their 82-64 loss to China in their group stage match. She provided a spark off the bench in her 19 minutes scoring 14 points on 6/13 shooting which included some athletic and stylish layups around the basket. The point guard started her Asia Cup campaign with a solid performance in the Opals 11-point win against Chinese Taipei. Wallace scored 5 points and dished off 4 assists in just 11 minutes of game time in her Opals debut. She contributed again off the bench in the Opals

must win qualification semi-final against New Zealand, grabbing five rebounds and having 3 assists in her team’s 72-61 win. Before making her Opals debut in Jordan, Wallace had previously represented Australia at a junior level winning a bronze medal at the Under-19 World Championship. The former Coffs Harbour Suns junior had a stellar college career playing for Baylor University in the US college system, which saw her drafted into the WNBA in 2018.

THE North Coast branch of Men of League are holding their annual fundraising luncheon on 30 October and the message from President Peter Barret is that “Coffs Harbour needs to get out”. “Following the lockdowns and all of the cancelled events, Coffs Harbour needs to get out and we are holding our annual charity luncheon on 30 October to help raise money for Rugby League and local charities. “It’s at the Coffs Harbour Race Track and it’s the best race day of the year, the Derby, with former stars of the game as our guest

speakers,” said Peter. The North Coast branch of the Men of the League was set up sixteen years ago by a dedicated volunteer committee who host fundraisers, conduct wellbeing visits and contribute to help the Foundation care for the men, women and children of the rugby league community. “Men of League is the biggest sporting charity in AustraliaIia. “At the North Coast branch we visit hospitals from Grafton to Macksville and raise money for junior league but we do need more participation from former and current players,” said Peter.

Phil Lynch Wins Coach of the Year

q Phil Lynch winner of the Newcastle and Permanent Coach of the Year for Northern New South Wales Football and North Coast Football.

By David WIGLEY

Blues named AFL North Coast's best A PAIR of Northern Beaches players are the toast of the AFL North Coast after they were named the competition’s Best & Fairest players for the 2021 season. Due to COVID restrictions this year’s vote counts were held via live video on Facebook and at the end of the night it was Fraser Duryea and Gina Cardillo who were awarded the major prizes. For Duryea, it was the second time he won the

Brian Saville Medal for being the best player in the senior competition. The victory saw him join a small but prestigious club as only the second player in the AFL North Coast’s 40-year history to win the award at two different clubs. The key forward who this season enjoyed more time in the midfield first won the medal in 2016 when he was playing with the Coffs Breakers. Duryea joins

Troy Mirkin with the distinguished piece of history. Mirkin won his first award in 1989 when he was a teenager playing at Grafton. The second time he won was in 2001 when he was a key part of a dynamic North Coffs midfield. Duryea finished with a final tally of 22 votes from the umpires. Port Macquarie’s Braden Saggers was runner-up on 16 votes with

In B Grade Rusty Lid SportsBar defeated Perse House Produce 8-3 in a great game where the score did not reflect the closeness of the two teams. Currently there is still no date set for the return of community sport in NSW - metropolitan or regional.

PHIL Lynch from Bellingen FC has been named the Newcastle Permanent Coach of the Year by Northern New South Wales Football and North Coast Football. Phil has been coaching for 54 years and said he was tickled pink with the acknowledgement but was somewhat embarrassed to win the Coach of the Year in a vast region which spans from Newcastle to the Tweed. “Embarrassed because there are a lot of other coaches out there doing great things. “But I am absolutely tickled pink, this is amazing,

thank you so much, I am lost for words.” Phil had some sage advice for anyone new to the game. “Football has to be fun, when I first started playing we were told to run laps of the pitch, I hated it and almost gave up. “Training must be enjoyable for kids, number one, you’re not out there to win, you’re there to teach the kids to play better football,” he said. The 68-year-old former school teacher helps all of the teams at Bellingen develop skills. “I go down Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays running drills with as many

teams as possible – whether it’s under 12s, 15s, girls, or whatever. “I’m sort of a Mr Fixit, if a coach says ‘our guys can’t break open an attack’ for instance I’ll try and help, or I might work with the goalkeepers,” said Phil. Phil also has credentials as a player with 50 seasons of football under his belt which started at grassroots at Ku-ring-gai where he grew up and he went on to play for Hakoah who eventually morphed into Sydney FC. When he moved to the coast in 1980, he linked up with Urunga as a player in the Premier League.

q Gina Cardillo won the women's Best & Fairest in her first season of playing football. Whalan a further four votes back in third position. Last year’s runnerup Angus Anderson from Sawtell/Toormina finished in a tie for fourth position on 11 votes alongside Tom Dickson (Port Macquarie), Jake Hare (Nambucca Valley) and Coffs Breakers captain Liam Beacom. Twelve months ago Gina Cardillo had never pulled on a football boot. Now the super fit midfielder is the cream of the women’s crop after winning the League’s Best & Fairest award. Cardillo’s ability to get from contest to contest

and extract possessions in busy traffic clearly caught the umpire’s eye and her superb debut season playing AFL was rewarded with the prestigious prize. The victory was set-up when Cardillo polled eight votes in rounds 8, 9 and 10 to build a seven-vote lead over last year’s winner, Cassidy Ronalds from the Coffs Breakers. In the closing stages of the count, Cardillo’s votes dried up as those behind her started polling votes that almost saw the gap closed. Cardillo finished

the count with 17 votes from her 10 matches. In the Breakers’ last three matches, Ronalds polled six votes to finish runnerup on 15 votes while her teammate Bella Crawley polled eight votes in those last three matches to race home to finish in a tie for third position on 14 votes with Amy Keen from the Lismore Swans. S a w t e l l / To o r m i n a stalwart Daniel Pritchard was the runaway winner in the reserves while Michael Luxton from Grafton was adjudged the best player in the under-17s.

Email them to us: media@newsofthearea.com.au The latest information is that community sport will not be permitted to recommence until there is a 80% vaccination threshold. This will probably be in November meaning we might be able to start our Men’s and Women’s Touch Competition in December.

We may be able to play a couple of rounds before Christmas break. The Committee is meeting on October 13 to plan our course of action. NSWTA have been in contact multiple times with advice as it changes including, last week, cancellation of

the Country Championships scheduled for the weekend 16/17 October. Unfortunately we have just had to cancel the Summer Junior Competition. The Senior Competition has a greater chance of running and we will need to react quickly whenever that becomes

possible to fit as many rounds as we can before the end of March. Have your Touch Teams organised and ready to play at short notice! We will do our best to resume Touch Football in Woolgoolga as soon as possible.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Advertising within the Coffs Coast News Of The Area reaches your local customers. Connect with them from next edition. Print media has never been as affordable for your business.

Ever Heard Of A Sacrificial Anode?

Call Gaye Conway now 0436 355 564

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. After its 5th birthday – warranty expires.

Or email gaye@newsofthearea.com.au

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE – Solar, Electric, Gas or Heat Pumps. FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in your area free of charge.
