Editorial

Welcome to this week’s editorial, It is six days since my AstraZeneca jab and the soreness in my upper arm has now subsided. It wasn’t too bad, not enough to keep me awake if I slept on it but enough to ask for the next jab to be on the other arm in twelve weeks me. I was fortunate to see a social media invita on to a end a weekend vaccine clinic in Narooma encouraging me to book a fi een minute window. I arrived, filled in a form, waited around five minutes, walked into a prac ce room, rolled up my sleeve and received a totally painless jab. Simple. A er a nice lunch soon a er I drove home to await the onset of expected side effects that I had Googled. I was ready for my 24 to 48 hours of redness, headache, muscle pain, fever and chills. Google also warned me of possible nausea, feeling unwell, joint pain, possible enlarged lymph nodes, dizziness, decreased appe te and stomach pain. Ido accept that Dr Google can be a bit of a pessimis c hypochondriac at mes. I must say here that I was well prepared. Knowing there was a very rare risk of death due to bloodclots I had ensured my will was in order, that my Health Ac on Plan was up to date reflec ng my wishes in the event I didn’t die but was no longer able to func on, and that I had backed up my laptop files and my 75,000 photos along with all the instruc ons for my powers of a orney, my updated passwords, and all the other instruc ons one might like to offer in the event of karking it. This might sound over drama c but for me the task was straight forward as I had done it many mes in the past before se ng off to places that are less than hospitable. On those trips I would have my ever present passport, some $US dollars stashed in my shoes and the expecta on that I could lose it all. Again this might sound drama c but it wasn’t. It was just a ma er of being prepared, inspired by the old American Express TV adver sement that featured “Mr Wong” saving the day for a hapless traveller in Hong Kong who had lost everything. I o en played out in my head if I was ready to lose everything and how to recover. An odd game that kept me amused during long hours in transit. There was one thing that I relied on, on those trips that encountered some of the best slums in the world. My secret weapon was the force field of my vaccina ons (I kept a full list at the back of my passport with their dates and due dates). Although the local varia ons of gastro o en found their mark, and the occasional virus rendered me a fever ridden mess for days on end the big nas es were kept at bay via my vaccina ons. But generally I was prepared, as best I could be, knowing I was in a developing country but that my “house” at home was in order with my paperwork and my instruc ons up to date should I not return. As I sat in the wai ng room for my AstraZeneca jab last weekend I looked around at the twenty or so who were also there playing their roll in the vaccina on produc on line and wondered if they had prepared for the occasion and like me, an cipa ng everything from bloodclots to being out of ac on for two or more days. I also wondered if they had their home made chicken stock already prepared for restora ve soups or have a stash of therapeu c bananas at the ready. I could only hope, and assumed they did. I then thought of the 3,717,000 others around the world who had contracted Covid and then, within a week or so, died. They didn’t see it coming. There was li le me to prepare. If only they had been immunised. If only they had been given the chance to have a jab. Behind every one of those deaths is a family, friends, and paperwork. So much paperwork. The unpaid bills, the loans, bank savings, assets to be sold, assets to be distributed, lawyers, funeral arrangements and the grief of a life cut short, most likely without any final goodbye. The millions of goodbyes that remain unsaid. While the jab last weekend was for me it was also for my family. It was for my friends and for those I might meet on the street. It was for every person who might come within 1.5m of me or touch something I may have touched. I enjoy life so I owe it to myself to be vaccinated. But I also realise that behind every face I see there is an equal complexity of a life that, in most parts, remains unfinished. I chose to have the vaccina on for the sake of me, for my family and for all of those in my community that I might meet or interact with including you. Let’s roll up our sleeves for ourselves and each other. Un l next—lei

Community Time for businesses to prepare for singleuse plas c ban

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Eurobodalla Council is suppor ng local businesses to get ready for the Vol 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 na onwide ban on certain single-use plas cs, which is set to take effect by 2025. Through its Na onal Plas cs Plan 2021, the Australian Government will next year begin to phase out a range of plas c packaging products and expanded polystyrene to reach its target for all packaging to be either reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. This means businesses in Eurobodalla and across the na on will have to find alterna ves to things like lightweight plas c bags, plas c products misleadingly termed as ‘degradable’, plas c straws, plas c utensils and s rrers, polystyrene food and drink containers, polystyrene packaging and microbeads in personal health care products. Eurobodalla Council’s We Care program has helped local businesses find prac cal ways to minimise plas c waste since 2019 – and many are ahead of the game having already made the switch to more eco-friendly solu ons. We Care project officer Alex King said We Care could help local businesses take prac cal ac on ahead of the ban, including using up stocks of single-use plas c items. “It’s a great idea for business operators to start preparing now, and the good news is, we’re here to support them through this transi on,” she said. “We can provide free package samples and work one-onone with business operators to try and find suitable alterna ves within budget from their normal suppliers.” Ms King said the ACT ban on single-use plas c straws, s rrers, cutlery and bowls would come into effect this July, with a second tranche of plas c items set to join the list in 2022. “It’s great to see residents and businesses from the ACT working hard and fast to remove plas cs from their community and we know there will be a growing expecta on for other businesses they frequent to do the same,” she said. “Our local and broader community are driving this change, and businesses by their very nature will need to respond to consumers, who will vote with their feet.” Eurobodalla Council will showcase eco-friendly products available from local suppliers, along with its other environmental ini a ves, at the Sea Solu ons on the Clyde (Bhundoo) event on Tuesday 8 June at the Clyde Street Foreshore, Batemans Bay, from 9.30am.

community Batemans Bay creek study iden fies flooding Vol 16 September 15th 2017 risk Vol 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 Eurobodalla Council has commissioned a technical study into the flooding behaviour of seven urban creek catchments in the greater Batemans Bay region. Currently on public exhibi on for community feedback, the dra Batemans Bay Urban Creeks Flood Study details the flooding risk of Maloneys Lagoon at Maloneys Beach, Long Beach Lagoon at Long Beach, Surfside Creek at Surfside, the Batemans Bay Water Garden, Hanging Rock Creek at Catalina, Joes Creek at Batehaven and Short Beach Creek at Sunshine Bay/Caseys Beach. Residents – par cularly in these areas – are being urged to take a look at the study and provide their feedback to Council. A drop-in session will be held Thursday 17 June, from 12.30pm to 6.30pm, at the Hanging Rock Func on Centre, where Council staff and the consultants who prepared the study can answer any ques ons. No RSVP is required. Council’s flood planning officer Cameron Whi ng said the study focused on flooding from rainfall events while taking into account projected sea-level rise impacts. “This dra study is the first step in be er understanding where there may be a flooding risk, giving Council the informa on needed to progress the next steps of the process, which is to look at mi ga on op ons,” he said. “It also helps other agencies, like State Emergency Service, plan for the poten al impacts of flooding on the community.” Councils are required by law to prepare for and manage the risk of flooding, as set out in the NSW Government’s NSW Flood Prone Land Policy and Floodplain Development Manual 2005.

The dra Batemans Bay Urban Creeks Flood Study, prepared by Rhelm environmental consultants, was jointly funded by a NSW Government floodplain management grant and Council. It is available to view at www.esc.nsw.gov.au/ publicexhibi on un l 4.30pm on Wednesday 30 June.

Hanging Rock Creek at Catalina was one of seven catchments examined as part of Eurobodalla Council’s draft Batemans Bay Urban Creeks Flood Study.

Tuross says a firm NO to Council selling a popular Public Road for private purposes

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Vol 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018

Above: The vote was unanimous at the Tuross Head Progress Assoc mee ng of June 3rd when a show of hands was asked for saying NO to the council's proposal to sell Coopers Island Road. Next Tuesday's Council mee ng will finally deal with the saga of the illegal gate across Coopers Island Road; an issue that has turned into a total embarrassment for Eurobodalla Council.

For nearly two years the Council has been doing its best to ignore the public outcry of allowing the illegal gate to remain, along with the illegal fencing adjacent to Bowns Creek.

The Council, in doing nothing, has brought itself into disrepute and has caused undue strain on the community who, for the past two years, have not gone beyond the erected gate to access what has been for genera ons a popular fishing and prawning spot, accessed by a public road to a weir built by Council using ratepayers funding. Next Tuesday will see a strong representa on of community members presen ng at Public Forum in the Council Chambers at 9:30am voicing their dismay at the way Council has handled (or failed to handle) the issue from the start and allowed it to fester.

The Council mee ng will also see the tabling of a community pe on submi ed for considera on to keep Coopers Island Road open to the public.

Was the $5million promise for Surfside mi ga on a poli cal ploy of empty words?

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Recent king des have once Vol 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 again flared the ongoing concerns of Surfside residents who are witnessing, event by event, the rapid erosion of the

Clyde River foreshore with the treat of dal inunda on a possibility with each and every event.

TheEurobodalla Coast

Alliance have said:

“People may recall that an injunc on was placed on the new Batemans Bay bridge by the Eurobodalla Coastal

Alliance in order to stop construc on to get a Review of Environmental Factors study completed. "This study was not done. A study of the effects of the pylons on the old bridge downstream, done by local engineer Viv Sethi, which was fully endorsed by renown coastal engineer Angus Jackson, proved that the old bridge, along with the extended rock wall on the southern shore was the cause of erosion in the past which took away a 42 block subdivision on Wharf Road. "In order to stop further erosion it was suggested that a rock wall should be built parallel to the one on the southern side which would prevent sand from the northern shoal being scoured and dumped at

Corrigans Beach which has accreted by 300 metres in depth. "In a mee ng with Andrew Constance and Gabriel Upton (then the Minister for Environment and

Heritage), a sum of $5million was allocated towards mi ga on and also $250,000 towards a study to determine exactly what mi ga on would be best and this would be done before comple on of the bridge. Believing this promise, the injunc on was li ed and bridge work commenced. "Now 2 years on, nothing has been done and the huge swells last weekend have seen massive erosion and the sea encroaching into the backyards of proper es in Surfside. Legisla on prevents property owners from protec ng their proper es in any way as a massive fine of $500,000 could be imposed if they should try to do so. "In addi on clauses are being put on development applica ons sta ng that no compensa on will be paid if they should succumb to the sea or 4 inunda on events in a 1 year period and that owners would also have to demolish their homes at their own expense and return the land to how it was originally."

The appeal aims to raise $5.1 million by 30 June, to deliver life-changing learning and mentoring programs to students experiencing disadvantage. The Smith Family’s Ac ng CEO, Judy Barraclough, said support is more urgent than ever, a er the charity released its Emerging from COVID-19: Insights Snapshot. This document brings together recent observa ons from families, schools and Smith Family teams working on the ground in some of Australia’s most disadvantaged communi es, to track how they’re faring following the year of disrup on and uncertainty that was 2020. “We’re very concerned by the high number of students and families we support who are really struggling, some more than at any stage since the pandemic began. Economic instability, a housing affordability crisis and a lack of employment opportuni es for our families are all taking their toll – and we’re really worried about the impact this is having on some children’s ability to engage at school,” she said. Batemans Bay Evening VIEW Club President Julie Teer said support from the community will help more than 12,000 Australian children who need it most. “Our club is commi ed to suppor ng young Australians with their educa on, because it is the best way of stopping the cycle of disadvantage.
