Federal election 2022: Dobell votes Dobell is one seat to watch on election night as Labor holds it with only a narrow margin of 1.5 percent.

In the 13 terms since the electorate formed in 1984, the Liberals have won only three terms – 2001, 2004 and 2013.

In 2016, the sitting member, Emma McBride, regained the seat for Labor with a 4.6 percent swing and was reelected in 2019, albeit with a three percent swing away from Labor.

Should she be re-elected on May 21, this will be her third consecutive term.

There are seven candidates in this Federal election for the seat of Dobell - McBride (Labor), Geoff Barnes (Fusion), Dean Mackin (United Australia Party), Dr Michael Feneley (Liberal), Cath Connor (The Greens), Martin Stevenson

(One Nation) and Eliot Metherell (Liberal Democratic Party).

Emma McBride - Labor Party

Emma McBride - Labor Party McBride’s priorities focus on public health services, improvements to local schools, bringing more local jobs to the Central Coast, the environment, better roads and infrastructure.

“The Coast is a beautiful place to live and working together, I know we can have an even better future,” she said.

“As a pharmacist of 20 years, healthcare is a top priority for me.

“That’s why I joined community efforts to save Wyong Hospital from privatisation, and it’s why I’ve been calling on the Government to tackle the GP crisis.

“If elected, a future Labor Government will make sure Coasties have better healthcare.

“We will provide a Medicarefunded MRI licence to Wyong Hospital so locals can access lifesaving medical scans, close to home, we will recognise the Coast as a priority, so local practices can recruit and retain more GPs, we will establish two

Medicare Urgent Care Clinics on the Coast and we will lower the cost of general prescriptions from $42.50 to $30.

“I want to make sure Coasties have more secure, well-paid jobs and better infrastructure for the future.

“That’s why I’ve committed $17M for a food manufacturing hub at Lisarow which will create 285 new jobs and help local food and beverage manufacturers upscale their business.

“We will also work with Council to improve local roads by investing $40M to fix potholes and clear the backlog.

“As a local, I want our community to thrive and that’s why we will fund upgrades to The Entrance town centre, the Tuggerawong Pathway, Tuggerah Lake, and local NBN coverage for 32,000 homes

and businesses.

“This is my plan for a better future – a future with more jobs, better roads, and stronger healthcare – it’s what the Coast deserves,” McBride said.

Tracey Herft and Kylie Bright had chalked up 28 years between them working together at a hair care salon and retailer so when the owner decided to retire and shut-up shop, they realised there was only one thing to do – buy the business themselves.

Push to rollout new trains at Kangy Angy In a snap press conference at Kangy Angy Rail Maintenance Facility on May 13, the NSW Government announced it would push ahead with the rollout of the new intercity fleet of trains on the Central Coast line, despite lingering safety concerns from the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU).

The RTBU says staff are refusing to work on the new trains without safety amendments because of “unacceptable safety risks to the travelling public and rail workers”.

Minister for Finance and Employee Relations, Damien Tudehope, said he had advised the union that he would not support any RTBU demands that further delayed the rollout of the trains.

“They are safe, world-class trains that will enormously improve the experience for commuters, especially those with a disability, and they should be in operation today,” he said.

Treasurer Matt Kean said the NSW Government was “drawing a line in the sand” to get the fleet into service.

“There is $2B worth of rolling stock sitting in mothballs and rusting on the tracks (at Kangy Angy) because of these unreasonable demands by the unions,” he said.

Named the Mariyung fleet, the new intercity trains will travel to the Central Coast and Newcastle, down to Kiama on the South Coast line and from Sydney to Lithgow on the Blue Mountains line.

The fleet was supposed to start rolling out in late 2020, starting with the Central Coast/ Newcastle line, but they have been stuck in storage at Kangy Angy while the RTBU and the NSW Government have been in discussions and court battles for years, even before the trains arrived from South Korea.

RTBU NSW Secretary, Alex Claassens, said safety concerns stemmed from train guards not being able to adequately monitor the platform during departure.

He said passengers would be

at risk from crucial blind spots in surveillance, meaning they could have undetected accidents or falls into the gap between the train and platform and staff would be unable to hear them.

This is due to drivers and guards solely monitoring from CCTV cameras mounted on the sides of the trains.

The RTBU doesn’t believe the “customer service guard” operating from a crew compartment is adequate, instead of an in-person guard.

Claassens said workers were worried about the lack of audio, the inability to monitor all angles on monitors at the same time and the restricted line of sight because of the design of the train carriages.

Chief Operating Officer at NSW Trainlink, Dale Merrick, said at the press conference that the Mariyung Fleet had safety and customer features on an international standard.

“There are 20 cameras on each side of the train and that gives guards visibility of the

platform and train interface that we don’t already have (on other trains), so they are a safety aid of the highest quality,” he said.

In July 2021, NSW Trainlink received accreditation from the Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator (ONRSR) to operate the Mariyung fleet, comprising 610 carriages, into service.

The ONRSR is the national regulator that administers the Rail Safety National Law and achieving its accreditation means the operating model and systems for the Mariyung fleet have been assessed as safe.

Minister Tudehope said at the press conference last week that if the NSW Government was to accede to the union demands as they currently stood, it would cost in the vicinity of $1B. “It is not the best thing for the public to modify a state-of-theart train,” he said.

“There is a significant number of Mariyung trains sitting (at Kangy Angy Rail Maintenance Facility), ready to run and the

aim is to get these trains into service.”

Tudehope said he thought the RTBU’s stance in relation to these trains was not so much about safety issues but industrial issues with ongoing negotiations between the union and the Government.

Claassens said the Minister’s announcement showed a complete disregard for the safety of commuters and disrespect for workers.

“The Minister is also misrepresenting the findings of the regulator,” he said.

“Rail workers have long said they will refuse to drive the new intercity fleet until the significant safety issues are adequately addressed … and as soon as those safety concerns are addressed, we’ll happily operate them,” he said.

Meanwhile, the trains remain in storage at Kangy Angy and the NSW Government is yet to announce when they will start running on the Central Coast line.

20,000 attend Warnervale’s festival of aerial entertainment The Central Coast Air Show held last weekend proved the sky’s the limit for premier events such as this providing a boost to our local visitor economy and helping establish the Central Coast as a leading tourism destination.

The air show was officially opened by Chair of the Regional Development Australia Central Coast (RDACC), Lawrie McKinna, who said the event exceeded expectations for ticket sales and visitation as well as highlighting the many benefits a light aviation precinct would bring to the Central Coast.

“This event was a great source of community pride and demonstrated what a valuable

asset the Warnervale airport is for the entire Central Coast,” he said.

“The Central Coast Air Show attracted in excess of 20,000 visitors and provided a significant boost to our local economy.

“As well as being a great economic boost, seeing the Central Coast host a successful event of this calibre is a great source of pride for our local community.

“It follows in the footsteps of the Avalon Air Show in Victoria — the biggest in the southern hemisphere — and the Pacific Air Show set to come to the Gold Coast in 2023, which attracted more than three million visitors when it was previously held in California.

Motocross stunts thrilled the crowd

“These events are injecting much-needed funds into the regions where they are staged, as well as helping to rebuild the spirit and reputations of their local communities in this postCOVID era.”

RDACC CEO and Director of Regional Development, John Mouland, said the reinstatement of the Central Coast Air Show in 2022 was a positive sign that the establishment of a light aviation precinct was back on the state

and federal government agenda.

“As early as 2015, RDACC has officially supported the development of a masterplan and staged development plan for a Central Coast Airport and light aviation precinct, due to the economic potential this asset would create for the region,” he said.

“A precinct of this nature will create around 2,500 local jobs including highly qualified, technically skilled roles to support and administration positions.

“It will also help to unlock the surrounding endorsed employment lands and the flow-on effects for local suppliers and associated industries would have an

exceptionally positive impact on our broader community.

“The re-instatement of the Central Coast Air Show is a positive sign that we are once again working toward making this a priority for our region.

“The Central Coast is in rebuilding phase following a tough couple of years, and undoubtedly more events of the calibre of the Central Coast Air Show, as well as the development of a light aviation precinct in our region, will be significant contributors to help strengthen our local economy and restore our community spirit,” Mouland said.

Marine Rescue volunteers chalk up almost 300 years At the age of 80, Sherwin Hensby of Yattalunga is still volunteering with Marine Rescue Central Coast, which has its headquarters at Point Clare.

Hensby was one of 25 Marine Rescue members to receive Marine Rescue NSW Long Service Awards and National Medals at a recent awards evening.

Between them, the 25 recipients have chalked up almost 300 years of volunteer service.

Unit Commander, Ian Morrow, said the two awards systems, one state and one federal, run concurrently, with many people getting both.

With the Marine Rescue NSW award, members receive a badge at five years, a medal at 10 years and a clasp every 10 years after that, Morrow said.

“People are awarded a National Medal after 15 years’ service, followed each 10 years with a clasp.”

Hensby’s years of volunteering began with the Rural Fire Service, where he spent many years serving food to firefighters on scene through the RFS canteen, along with other

Award recipients pictured with guests on the night

duties.

“It was a real family affair,” he said. “My wife also gained her 25-year pin with the RFS and we used to get the kids involved too. I also used to run the Bunnings sausage sizzle fundraisers.”

When he moved to the Central Coast, Hensby joined the Coastal Patrol, which later

morphed into Marine Rescue, with his service largely involving radio work.

“My work background was in communications so I used those skills in my volunteer work,” he said.

His expertise with communications saw him involved in three Olympic Games.

“I first went to the Atlanta Games in 1996 to look at their radio systems and how they were used,” he said.

“Then for the 2000 Sydney Games I designed and managed the radio system, supervising 25,000 volunteers using 15,000 radios.

“I then became part of the communications team for the

Athens Olympics in 2004.”

His expertise with radios came to the fore when he joined Marine Rescue.

“My work with Marine Rescue is mainly manning the radio desk at base although I have also taught radio and first aid,” he said.

As part of the Green Watch, Hensby’s service has seen him

man the radio desk most weekends for the past 20 years, working from 6am to 6pm in summer and from 7am to 5pm in winter.

Following a bout of cancer, he now works reduced hours but still turns up for his shortened shift each Saturday and Sunday.

“I don’t stay for the full day anymore but usually help organise lunch and stay until around 3pm,” he said.

Other members recognised at the awards night included Norm Smith of Ettalong, for 40 years of service, Phil Page of Aberglasslyn (near Maitland) for 30 years, and Harry Scales of Somersby for 25 years.

The evening was attended by Marine Rescue NSW Deputy Commissioner, Alex Barrell, Zone Commander Central, Darren Schott, and Zone District Operations Manager, Steve Raymond, together with Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, and Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch.

Crouch commended the recipients for their “amazing contribution” and service to the Coast totalling 295 years.

Administrator Message

Progressing towards a sustainable future

The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal has delivered their determination supporting Central Coast Council’s current rate structure for a further seven years; a decision that was a sensible one.

This outcome allows Council to continue to maintain current service levels, comply with current banking requirements, and most importantly allows us to continue, without interruption, our 10-year long-term financial plan that provides for long-term financial stability for the organisation.

This is a decision that factors in the unique situation this Council was in and the recommendation made by the Public Inquiry Commissioner “For the Administrator to ensure the completion of the Business Recovery Plan as adopted and amended by Central Coast Council since October 2020.”

We’ve achieved one of the most significant financial turnarounds of any organisation in under 12 months, with the current and forecasted surpluses repaying the emergency loans over the next 10 years.

For the community – there is no increase to your rates. This is a continuation of the current rates you pay with the exception of the rate peg as determined

by IPART every year.

Now that we have an outcome, Council will be examining services where we’re not meeting community expectations and reflect this in future operational plans for an incoming Council to consider.

Decision to maintain rates - what this means for you

IPART determines the maximum percentage which NSW Councils can increase their rates income each year, which is referred to as the rate peg. For 2022-23 IPART have determined a rate peg of 1% for Central Coast Council. This means the average annual rate increase for residents for 2022-23 is $13.

Solutions needed to rehoming greyhounds after racing A national survey involving a Central Coast-based rescuer has pointed to flaws in the greyhound racing industry’s rehoming procedure for retired dogs.

The survey was conducted by the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds (CPG) and involved 28 Australian community-run rescue charities who gather retired dogs from state greyhound racing bodies and help find them new homes.

According to its findings, many dogs handed over to the charities were in a neglected condition below the standard of welfare codes and often unprepared for the socialisation test that determines whether they can be rehomed or will be euthanised.

In NSW, this test is conducted

by Greyhounds as Pets (GAP), a not-for-profit initiative coordinated by Greyhound

Greyhounds can be great apartment pets

Racing NSW. “These charities say most dogs arrive in poor condition with pre-existing injuries, bad teeth and coats, while one in every two dogs exhibits stress behaviours due to being unprepared for re-homing by owners and trainers,” CPG’s national spokesperson Fiona Chisholm said.

“When a dog fails GAP, it’s

Lorraine Ramsay, founder of Rescued Greyhounds NSW Central Coast

often because it wasn’t socialised properly, and sadly this means many greyhounds are put down when they could be great pets.”

Local volunteer and founder of Rescued Greyhounds NSW Central Coast, Lorraine Ramsay, has ten years of experience rehoming greyhounds, in which time she claims to have helped at least

700 greyhounds into new homes.

For Ramsay, the high rate of GAP failure stems from overbreeding race dogs and poor GAP testing practice.

“The problem is there are too many greyhounds bred, even for racing, so many of them are cast off that have mental and physical health issues – although some don’t,” Ramsay

said.

“That has to be dealt with before you can really send them out into the pet community, and this can be very time- and resourceconsuming.

“Basically the (GAP) test involves a white fluffy dog – a Maltese terrier, say – and they’ll run them in front of these greyhounds, and if the

greyhounds react they are deemed unsuitable for rehoming.

“It’s very unsatisfactory for them because they are sight hounds with an instinct to chase and are unprepared for the test.

“At Rescued Greyhounds NSW Central Coast, I keep the greyhounds as long as I need to keep them.

“They live here with small dogs and cats, so they get used to seeing these other animals.

Over time they become quite accepting of them and there’s no threat to the small animal.

“We’re not trying to change what’s natural to them other than not to harm small animals.

We want them to be able to be family pets and child-safe.

“It takes time, and there is some who can’t be changed, but on the whole, most of them can.”

$40M promised to upgrade roads In a win-win for the Central Coast, both Liberal and Labor parties have made a $40M pre-election commitment to improve the safety and quality of roads in the region.

On May 11 Prime Minister Scott Morrison was on the Coast with Liberal candidate for Dobell, Michael Feneley, and Member for Robertson Lucy Wicks to make the funding announcement to improve 60 roads across the region.

In direct response, two days later Federal Member for Dobell, Emma McBride followed-up with Labor’s pledge to also commit $40M to Coast roads and to work with Central Coast Council to specify a list of roads for funding.

The Liberal Party’s funding would be in addition to the $86.5M already delivered to Central Coast Council in the Central Coast Roads Package

Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Member for Robertson, Lucy Wicks, announce the $40M roads pledge

and would prioritise local road improvements.

It would also support Council in addressing the significant maintenance backlog created by recent weather events and the increased traffic movements of the growing region.

Morrison said the Government’s record

infrastructure investment was supporting residents of the Central Coast, while creating local jobs.

“A strong economy means we continue to improve roads across the Central Coast, helping residents get home sooner and safer,” he said.

He said that continuing to provide funding for road and

rail projects was a key plan of the long-term plan to keep the economy strong.

Wicks said she had worked with local residents and Council to identify priority projects that improved safety and address maintenance challenges across the region.

“Better local roads, particularly after the recent

storms, is the number one issue raised with me and this funding will upgrade some of our worst roads across the Coast,” she said.

Local roads in the northern suburbs to be improved include: Hue Hue Rd, Jilliby; Alison Rd, Wyong; Lakedge Ave, Berkeley Vale.

Other roads on the Coast to be improved will be The Scenic Rd, MacMasters Beach, Killcare and Killcare Heights; Davistown Rd, Saratoga and Davistown; Rickard Rd, Empire Bay; Peats Ridge Rd, Somersby and Cape Three Points Rd, Avoca Beach.

Funding will be provided to Council to support its works program, including road reconstruction, rehabilitation and resurfacing.

The commitment builds on the Coalition’s strong investment to support infrastructure improvements across the Central Coast

including: $1B for faster rail between Sydney and Newcastle which will deliver additional tracks between Tuggerah and Wyong, extra platforms and station upgrades at Wyong and Tuggerah and new dual track rail bridges over the Wyong River; $336M to upgrade the Pacific Highway through Wyong by duplicating the highway between Johnson Rd and Cutler Dr and replacing the existing Wyong River road bridge with two new road bridges; $51.2M to upgrade the Central Coast Highway and Tumbi Rd intersection; more than than $86.5M committed to the Central Coast Roads Package; and more than $35M committed to Central Coast Council under the Roads to Recovery and Local Roads and Community Infrastructure programs.

$1.5M vow to finish Tuggerawong path Federal Member for Dobell, Emma McBride, has pledged $1.5M funding for the fifth stage to complete Tuggerawong Shared Pathway, if a Labor Government is elected on May 21.

“This funding will see the pathway continue along the foreshore reserve, which is what the community has been calling for,” she said.

When stage five is complete, the Tuggerawong Pathway will be 4km long from Friday St to Don Small Oval in Tacoma.

Preconstruction works for stage three and four have been

completed and construction of stage three started in May. Central Coast Council has allocated funding to stage three of the project as part of the Capital Works Program for 2021-22.

Funding for works within stage four is scheduled for the 2022-23 financial year, subject to adoption by Council.

Construction of stage five is partly funded in Council’s longterm financial plan, with construction waiting for finalisation of the route and design as well as full funding.

McBride and Wyong MP, David Harris, have been

Wyong MP David Harris, Federal Member for Dobell Emma McBride and Jodie Davis on the Tuggerawong pathway

working with the Tuggerawong Pathway community group to see the pathway to completion.

“This community-driven project has been in the works

since 2015, and I’m proud to say Labor will commit $1.5M to complete it,” McBride said.

“The community overwhelmingly supported

Option A for this project, and now, thanks to Labor’s commitment, we will be able to fund their preferred choice.”

Of the five options, Option A extends 1480m around Rocky Point and along the foreshore to Don Small Oval.

Pathway spokesperson, Jodie Davis has welcomed the announcement.

“We have been working with Emma McBride on this for years, and we’re thrilled she has offered this financial support to complete stage five of the project,” she said.

“Our community made their wishes clear when Council

asked us to vote on which option they wanted, and 87 per cent of people voted for Option A – to continue the pathway around the foreshore, all the way to Don Small Oval.”

“The ultimate aim of the project is to create a pathway that connects to other foreshore pathways and loops around Tuggerah Lake.

“The pathway is very popular with locals and visitors, and it became even more p­opular during lockdown when many Coasties rediscovered the beauty of our backyard,” Davis said.

Beach season on Coast ends Beach season has officially closed on the Central Coast, with more than 2.4 million visits recorded at the region’s 15 patrolled beaches during Council patrol times over the summer.

Central Coast Council closed the season on April 25, with the next season starting on September 24.

Council lifeguards completed 746 rescues and treated more

than 1902 first aid incidents during the season.

Council Administrator, Rik Hart, said both Council staff and Surf Life Saving volunteers who patrol the beaches on weekends have faced challenges this year.

“We have had unusual weather conditions with major storm events, resulting in extended beach closures due to poor water quality issues and risk of debris in the water,” Hart said.

“Additionally, one of their biggest challenges this season was monitoring, and often responding to, water emergencies at remote beach

areas away from the flagged patrolled areas.”

Hart said drones were used at Ocean Beach, Avoca and The Entrance.

“These drones assist in increasing lifeguard reach outside patrolled flagged locations at the sites and are proving vital in beach safety,” he said.”

Hart said keeping the community safe on our patrolled beaches is the top priority for both Council and local Surf Life Saving Club volunteers.

“Being able to identify rips and how to react in an emergency situation is a crucial

step in minimising beach incidents, and we commend the Council lifeguard teams and Surf Life Saving volunteers for their commitment and diligence,” he said.

Safe swimming options are available throughout the winter at Grant McBride Baths, Toukley Aquatic Centre, Gosford Pool and Peninsula Leisure Centre.

Federal election 2022: Dobell votes From page 1 by a long-held belief that it’s essential to protect the environment.

“That is what sustains us – clean air, unpolluted water, healthy lakes, oceans, and forests - not only for each one of us now, today, but for each child born in the foreseeable future,” she said.

“Climate change will not spare the Dobell electorate.

“We live in a vulnerable region – from flooding, coastal erosion, and drought.

“The necessary transition to renewable energy offers many new job opportunities here on the Coast and The Greens have a comprehensive and costed plan while supporting workers and communities who need it.

“The Greens in Dobell will focus on reinvesting in public schools, public health, and aged care; push for more infrastructure projects which reduce the impacts of our reliance on cars, including the introduction of EV infrastructure and build affordable, sustainable new public and shared ownership housing to address the crisis.

“We will address the gulf growing between our community’s well-off and those struggling.

“Allowing poverty to exist is a political choice, and I am standing in this election for The Greens because we can fix this.

“Fixing housing affordability, raising the basic income for government payments to $88 per day and putting dental and mental into Medicare would make a big difference to many in our community,” Connor said.

“I am a former talk back radio

host and this is my second time running politically,” Mackin said.

“I never really aspired to be either a talkback radio host nor a politician but the sweeping, and I believe, engineered changes in this country compelled me to act in such a way as to allow the silent majority to have their say.

“I had no intentions of running a second time in politics but the past two years proved to me that if good Australians do not stand up now then the Australia that we know and love is lost forever.

“Lockdowns and mandates were about as un-Australian and anti-freedom as I could have ever imagined.

“Our policies are key to our recovery and includes 15 percent export license on iron ore so we can pay off our $1 trillion-plus debt in 20 years instead of 200; $180 extra per fortnight for old age pensioners and no more HECS. “My other favourite policy is no more lockdowns, mandates or medical coercion,” Mackin said.

“Australians are one of the most heavily taxed and regulated people on Earth.

“I want us to reclaim our rights and freedoms and put an end to this madness.

I want to listen, and I am coming to the people of Dobell and asking for their opinions not dictating my own terms.

“The locals I’ve connected with from Bateau Bay to Toukley and Wyong to Wallarah, have all told me the same story.

“They’re sick of major parties, sick of career politicians, sick of lockdowns.

“I am offering something different - a chance to for Dobell to break the cycle and get back to the way things ought to be,” Metherill said.

“There is a wealth of knowledge and forward thinking in our country, but the opacity of our current system of governance seems to be dedicated to suppressing progress in any direction.

“Lobbyists and oligarchs determine public policy backed by subservient media where obfuscation, misinformation and hidden agendas masquerade as news.

“Media diversity is important.

“There needs to be transparency in government with real consequences for corrupt behaviour.

“We need to get real about transitioning to clean energy; reinstating funding for the CSIRO etc.

“I would like to see the separation of church and state.

“I believe religious institutions should pay tax.

“Megachurches are an unacceptable obscenity.

“School chaplaincy needs to be supplanted with the teaching of ethics, philosophy and humanities.

“Fusion’s policies will put the brakes on political entropy, with a focus on understanding the key areas that will ensure we thrive as both a species and identity,” Barnes said.

“I want to help make sure we will never be locked in our own homes, forced to cover our faces in public and beg the government for the right to live our lives” he said.

“I want to get government out of the way of ordinary Aussies.

“The past two years have shown us that there is nothing government won’t do “for your own good” and that worries me.

Geoff Barnes says that his priority areas are ethical governance, including an anticorruption body,compassionate welfare, whistleblower protection, simpler and fairer economics, transparent government and campaign finance reform.

He also wants a fair and inclusive society with equitable justice for all, universal public health and access to childcare.

Barnes also stands for individual freedoms, a Constitutional bill of rights, freedom of speech, voluntary euthanasia and marriage equality.

“I will not sell out Dobell families or the Australian people and will not support any deal the government makes that is not in the best interest and for the benefit of the Australian people,” he said.

“We need to stop the destructive, divisive policies and directives being churned out by career politicians at all levels of government.

“Our assets have been sold to foreign powers and our jobs have been sent overseas or taken away.

“In the past two years governments have overreached to such an extent that Australia no longer resembles a democracy.

“Our basic rights and freedoms have been removed.

“Every level of government needs to please explain.

“This is why we need the Royal Commission into COVID that Pauline Hanson has called for.

“Both major parties have trashed our country; they are their own political elite class and take their instructions from the UN left-wing globalists.

“They are deaf to the voices of average working Australians.”

Stevenson says that it is for these reasons that he has stepped forward as a candidate in this Federal election.

economy and a stronger future for residents of Dobell.

He said that in recognition of the enormous population growth north of Wyong, the Morrison Liberal Government had committed $1.4B to upgrade the Pacific Highway through Wyong, the rail network from Wyong to Tuggerah and the Central Coast Highway from Tumbi Rd intersection to Bateau Bay, plus an additional $40M for critical local road improvements.

“This new infrastructure will not only unleash the economic potential of our area but create more than 5,000 new jobs,” Feneley said.

“Unemployment is historically low at four percent nationally, nevertheless, one in four locals travel beyond the Central Coast for work, so increasing local job opportunities remains a key focus for me, particularly for our young people.

“By backing small businesses, lowering taxes, and investing in skills, manufacturing, infrastructure and energy, the Liberal economic plan will create more jobs.

“Our record investment in the skills system has delivered the highest number of trade apprenticeships on record—220,000 across Australia (nearly 2,400 locally) and will grow with the additional $2.8B investment in the Budget.

“As a doctor, I am proud that Federal funding of NSW hospitals has doubled under this Liberal Government, while Medicare and Pharmaceutical Benefits expenditure and the bulk billing rate (92 percent locally) are at all-time highs.

“However, GP access remains a big problem locally, and I have consulted widely with local GPs, their College and the Health Department on solutions.

“Also, I am proud that our PM, Scott Morrison, killed off the PEP-11 application, protecting our pristine coastline in perpetuity.”

Celebrating 7,000 pet rescues in 10 years

Hundreds of people turned out to help celebrate the 10th anniversary of the RSPCA Tuggerah Care Centre, which coincided with the 7,000th adoption from the animal shelter.

Over the past decade the Care Centre has found new homes for 93 birds, 1505 cats, 1775 kittens, 1145 dogs, 797 puppies, 539 guinea pigs, 969 rabbits, 174 rodents and three

ferrets.

The lucky 7,000th animal to be re-homed was a loving fouryear-old cat named Gracie, who was rescued by RSPCA inspectors from a terrible hoarding case in 2021.

Gracie is now settled with her new adoptive parents, Wendy and Richard, a retired couple from Chittaway Bay. The 10-year festivities on May 2 were a fun family day

with face painting for the children, pet care and behaviour advice and a chance for the public to mingle with the animals and find out first-hand about the RSPCA Tuggerah Care Centre.

“The day was just basically a community thank you for everyone who has supported us through the years,” said Centre Manager, Sara-Louise McCracken.

“We had lots of meet and

greets on the day, and five more dogs were adopted into their new homes.

“The reaction from the community has been brilliant, so positive, lots of encouraging words and congratulations.

“We’re proud of what we do here for the community; they know they can come in just for a chat and we get a lot of people who’ve lost their pets and we’re happy to provide that kind ear for them as well.

The RSPCA Tuggerah Care Centre offers a wide range of products and services including advice and support for pet owners, community education, grooming services, microchipping, retail and products and animal adoptions or fostering, with five more dogs being adopted on the day.

They also offer placements for practical experience in the Certificate II in Animal Studies, a school holiday program,

volunteering opportunities and community events.

“One hundred percent of profits go back into the organisation to help animals in need,” McCracken said.

The RSPCA Care Centre is inside the Tuggerah Homemaker Centre on the corner of Bryant Dr and Wyong Rd and is open seven days a week.

Never too old for a spin on a Harley Residents at Lakehaven Court had a ride of their life recently when they were treated to a spin around town on a Harley.

Lifestyle Co-ordinator, Dianne Buettner, said some residents at the aged care centre had this on their bucket list for quite some time.

And just to show you’re never too old, some of the residents living their dream was Rita Packham who turned 102 in January; 88-year-old Derek Bath; Joyce Burling, 99; John Sheridan, 89; Joe Busuco, 73, who is totally blind; Ray Wallace, 89 and 90-year-old Maureen Roebuck.

“Our residents have been

doing it tough throughout the pandemic with many lockdowns over the past twoand-a-half years and not being able to see family and friends,” she said.

“We decided to bring some joy and excitement to their lives in the form of a Harley trike ride.

“Eighteen of our residents went on a ride and it was smiles and laughter all around, it was such a fantastic experience.

“Scott from Trike Tours was just so wonderful; he was very patient and professional and we can’t thank him enough,” Buettner said.

Focus on walking safely to school

Blue Haven Public School mascot, Donny the Dolphin, will welcome students walking to school

Blue Haven Public School is encouraging children to put on their walking shoes for National Walk Safely to School Day. The annual event encourages parents and carers to walk to school with primary schoolaged children, to promote the health and environmental benefits of walking and develop regular walking habits from an early age.

Taking place during National Road Safety Week (May 15 to 22), the day also aims to help children learn vital roadcrossing skills.

Blue Haven Public School Principal Dale Edwards said

there would be a variety of classroom activities to support the event on Friday, May 20.

“Walking regularly is a great way to encourage a healthy lifestyle not only for children, but for people of all ages, health and ability,” he said.

“It’s also important children are able to navigate the road rules to keep themselves safe when walking in the community and Walk Safely to School Day provides a great opportunity to do that.

“We will be delivering lessons on road safety and exercising safely in the lead-up to the day.

“We are fortunate to already have a number of students who

are keen walkers, and we’ll be giving out stickers and other items to encourage students and families to take part.”

Nigel Tebb, health promotion officer at Central Coast Local Health District, encouraged schools and families across the Coast to get involved.

“Walk Safely to School Day is a great excuse to start reducing our dependency on the car,” Nigel said.

“There are so many benefits to getting into healthy habits like walking to school – from its importance to a child’s health, development and wellbeing, to reducing congestion on our roads and the pollution that results from that.

“It’s great to see schools like Blue Haven getting behind Walk Safely to School Day, and we encourage families across the Coast to get walking on the day.

“One of the keys to a safer walking environment for school children and other vulnerable road users is slower vehicle speed, so when driving, slow down and look out for pedestrians.”

Christos Tsiolkas

reimagining the Holocaust with cats and mice, won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize and was voted one of the 125 most important books of the last 125 years by the New York library in 2020.

He has been named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.

He is also the creator of Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids.

Spiegelman will reflect on

MAUS, a career spent finding new ways to write, draw and talk about the world, and a life challenging conventions and prejudice.

From noon to 1pm at all five libraries, two of the biggest names in Australian literature, Michelle de Kretser and Christos Tsiolkas, will discuss their latest books with Roanna Gonsalves.

Michelle de Kretser is a writer

and critic who was born in Sri Lanka and lives in Australia.

Her fiction has won several awards, including the Miles Franklin, and is published across the world. Her most recent novel Scary Monsters was published in 2021.

Christos Tsiolkas is the author of seven novels, including Loaded, The Jesus Man and Dead Europe. His novel, The Slap, won Overall Best Book in the Commonwealth Writers’

His sixth novel, Damascus, won the 2019 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for Fiction.

From 2pm-3pm at all five libraries, Australian author Steve Toltz will discuss his new novel, Here Goes Nothing, with acclaimed author Sarah Krasnostein.

Tolz’s first novel, A Fraction of the Whole, published in 2008, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Guardian First Book Award. His equally acclaimed second novel Quicksand won the 2017 Russell Prize for Humour.

Tolz relocated to Los Angeles to work as a screenwriter and has worked on major Hollywood productions such as No Activity

and Guilty Party.

In But Not Forgotten, from 4-5pm at Erina, Gosford and Tuggerah libraries, festival guests will pay tribute to writers lost in the past year.

On Saturday, May 21, the Barrie Cassidy and Friends: Election 2022 session will stream at Tuggerah and Erina libraries.

The veteran journo and some of the country’s best commentators will unpick the state of the national discourse, national politics and the nation itself.

BOOK REVIEW

Author: Bonnie Garmus Publisher: Transworld

Elizabeth Zott is a chemist.

That is the first thing that she would want you to know about her.

She has fought tooth and nail for every inch she has gotten, and she hasn’t gotten as far as she would have if she were a male.

She is thirty years old and has a five-year-old daughter Madelaine, “Mad”.

Elizabeth is broke, so she takes a job hosting a cooking show on television, “Supper at Six” because after all, isn’t cooking just a form of chemistry.

The story is about how Elizabeth became a single mother trying to make ends meet.

Jump back 10 years to 1952 where we meet Calvin Evans working in his lab at the Hastings Research Institute.

Calvin is a genius and has been featured on the cover of Chemistry Today.

He grew up in a home for orphans in Iowa after his adoptive parents and aunt died.

Calvin is described as being tall and lanky, not very attractive, introverted, has a passion for rowing and can hold a grudge.

Unlike Elizabeth, who also works at Hastings, Calvin has his own lab and a multitude of supplies.

The two meet when Elizabeth, low on supplies,

The cast of Oh What A Night

barges into Calvin’s lab and absconds with some beakers.

Calvin assumes, because she is a woman that Elizabeth is a secretary.

Not good.

And when the team Elizabeth works with realise it was Calvin’s beakers she took, they are horrified, “she overheard the same few grousing about her – about how she took herself so seriously, how she thought she was better than any of them, how she refused dates from all of them, even the single men. And how the only way she could have possibly gotten her master’s from UCLA in organic chemistry was the hard way.”

Calvin and Elizabeth run into each other a few weeks later and a friendship blooms.

The two outsiders realise they have so much in common.

Elizabeth is the first woman Calvin can talk to and Elizabeth notices how he takes her

research seriously.

They both had tragic childhoods and have overcome so much to be where they are.

As much as they try to keep it platonic the relationship becomes serious and they realise they are each other’s soul mates.

Calvin wants to marry Elizabeth.

Elizabeth doesn’t want to get married as she doesn’t want to be thought of as Mrs. Calvin Evans but wants to gain her own reputation using her own name.

One day Elizabeth comes across a mongrel dog in an alley that follows her home.

They bathe him and name him Six-Thirty, “to commemorate the exact time they’d become a family”.

There is a tragic accident having to do with leash laws and the fear of loud noises that leaves Elizabeth alone and pregnant.

It is the 1950’s, unwed women didn’t get

pregnant and continue to keep their jobs.

Luckily Calvin put her name on the deed to the bungalow he owned, otherwise she would be homeless.

While pregnant she converts the kitchen into a laboratory.

Because even though she has been fired she is a chemist.

She makes ends meet by consulting work, which means the chemists from Hastings come to her to solve problems with their research and then they take credit and put their names on her findings.

Elizabeth gives birth and checks herself out of the hospital early because she realises no one is there to feed Six-thirty.

She is alone.

She is getting overwhelmed.

She is depressed.

Harriet Sloane a neighbour from across the street has already raised three boys and is stuck at home with Mr. Sloane so she is more than willing to help Elizabeth and soon the two become friends.

Mad grows up to be an intelligent child, reading Dickens by the age of five but becomes unstuck when given a homework assignment to fill in a family tree.

That will set off a series of events that will change all their lives.

I really got pleasure out of reading this book.

It is a funny, touching story about a woman that refuses to compromise with a crazy set of characters and one amazing dog.

BUSINESS & PROPERTY

Business & Property Customer loyalty helps business through pandemic Tracey Herft and Kylie Bright had chalked up 28 years between them working together at a hair care salon and retailer so when the owner decided to retire and shut-up shop, they realised there was only one thing to do – buy the business themselves.

Across Australia, retail associations are still counting the pandemic’s impact on bricks and mortar, and while it did delay the opening of the new Bateau Bay Price Attack salon, next month the duo will celebrate six months in business, and they want to thank locals for their support.

They have been “blown away” by the customer loyalty from the previous store and the rush of support from not only Bateau Bay locals but also from

neighbouring suburbs.

The new business in Bateau Bay Square also brings job opportunities to the area: the Herft and Bright team looking to employ both hairdressers and retail staff, offering flexible working hours, to meet the employment market.

“We received so much encouragement from everyone from the company support team to our former customers – so it was a real no brainer to take the plunge,” Herft said.

“It’s something we absolutely love, and we work so well together bringing different skill sets to the business.”

The duo was not fazed, when NSW went into lockdown, as they were looking to open a new store in a new location in August, but the craziness of the pandemic meant the reality of that opening date moved

further and further away.

“We never lost sight of the final goal,” Herft said.

“Bricks and mortar retail suffered from the pandemic because a lot of people have learned to shop online who probably had not prior to the pandemic. But one of the big things that came out of lockdown was our need for interacting with people.

“Price Attack salons are about making a difference in someone’s life through a cut, colour and style cut: all wrapped up with a warm greeting, a cup of coffee and a chance to have some much needed “me” time.

“You can’t buy a haircut on the internet.”

Dobell grants to help lower energy costs Small and medium food and beverage manufacturers in the Dobell electorate have received Federal Government support to help cut energy costs.

Through the food and beverage round of the Energy Efficient Communities program, four manufacturers including Paul Maddock, Australian Beverage Contract Filling, M Hambe & C Phegan and Zentient Culture have received grants between $16,000 and $25,000.

The funding will help lower their energy bills and reduce emissions by upgrading to

more energy-efficient appliances including refrigeration, carrying out energy audits and installing energy-monitoring equipment.

Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction, Angus Taylor, said a key way to help businesses rebound from the pandemic was by reducing overheads such as energy.

“This investment by the Morrison government could amount to significant savings for these Central Coast businesses, making a noticeable difference to their bottom line,” he said.

Liberal candidate for Dobell, Dr Michael Feneley, said the

funding for Central Coast businesses would go a long way to cutting costs.

“The food and beverage industry has been doing it really tough over the past few years and the cost of power can really hold back growth,” he said.

“This is an important industry, particularly in the Central Coast and I look forward to this investment helping these businesses to thrive and grow, creating jobs and opportunities for locals.”

The Energy Efficient Communities Food and Beverage Manufacturing Business Grants program

opened in January 2022, for grants of between $10,000 and $25,000, available to food and beverage manufacturing businesses with fewer than 200 employees.

Dr Feneley said a re-elected Morrison government would continue to support small and medium businesses cut their energy costs through a new $60M Powering Business grants program, and a $17.9M expansion to the Business Energy Advice Program.

CREATING FINANCIAL FREEDOM

Discover the power of ‘enough’ in your life WITH

Michelle BALTAZAR Editor-in-Chief • Money magazine On a warm spring day on Shelter Island, New York, when two renowned authors, Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse-Five) and Joseph Heller (Catch 22), found themselves at a party at the palatial second home of a hedge fund billionaire.

Taking a moment to peruse the opulent surroundings, Vonnegut commented to his friend, “Joe, did you know our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel has in its entire history?”.

Heller took a moment before replying, “Yes, but I have something that he will never have.”

A sceptical Vonnegut shot back, “What on earth do you have that our host will never be able to get?”

Heller replied calmly, “The peace that comes with knowing I have enough.”

When faced with the prospect of feeling inadequate in the face of someone else’s success, Hell-

er was able to see beyond what he didn’t have to fully appreciate that what he did have.

This is a lesson we all need to learn, otherwise we trap ourselves in a destructive cycle of discontent, where our sense of self-worth is constantly being shaped and bullied by the fortune (or misfortune) of others.

When planning for our future, the question shouldn’t be, “How much money will you need when you’re ready to retire?”, but rather, “What does enough look like?” What is enough accommodation? Enough connection with friends and family? Enough daily activities?

Enough health?

For some of us it’s even simpler than this. We just need to take a deep breath and start seeing that what we already have is enough.

One of the big lies of the modern age is that learning to be content precludes you from growing considerable wealth.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The legendary investor Warren Buffett purchased a five-bedroom house in Omaha in 1958 for $US31,500 and has lived there ever since. He also owns a 2014 Cadillac he bought for $US45,000 and tends to shun splashy parties and trips, preferring to play bridge and do coffee with friends.

He learnt that the power of enough meant that he didn’t need to signal to others how much money he had, or fear los-

ing things when an investment went south unexpectedly.

This feeling of contentment actually improved his decision making, putting him in control of his emotions.

It is a great myth that discontentedness or dissatisfaction drives people to greater things.

More often than not, any fame or wealth gained from this energy is temporary, and ultimately drives people toward the very reality they fear.

This is the advice that I wish someone had given me when I

was much younger. Sit with the feeling of being content with who you are, where you are, the people around you, and what you have.

This is the starting point for creating true, generational, sustainable wealth.

From this vantage point you can start shifting your thoughts from simply how much money you will need in your retirement, to how you would like to live and what legacy you want to leave the generations after you. This is the simple power of “enough”.

It doesn’t matter who you are comparing yourself to, there will always be things that put yourself higher or lower on some scale of meaningful comparison.

I find it helpful to spend time sitting and thinking “This is enough” as I look at all the things around me.

It doesn’t matter where you are in life or what your situation is, there is great power in being able to take stock of what you do have and know that you are okay.

Age matters in the cryptocurrency ranks Is cryptocurrency entering the investing mainstream?

With more than a million people across the country holding roughly $21.6 billion worth of crypto assets, there are certainly grounds for believing that it is.

The latest research from Roy Morgan found that the likes of like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Rip-

ple are now part of the investment mix for 5% of Australians over the age of 18, with investors holding $20,000 worth of cryptocurrency on average.

The research also confirmed that the ranks of the crypto curious tend to be younger and male – 59% are under the age of 35 and 69% are men.

However, one of the most

interesting revelations was the size of the portfolios being amassed by older investors.

Cryptocurrency investors aged 50-plus have an average investment of around $56,200 compared with only $2600 for those aged 18 to 24.

This means older Australians aged 50-plus hold total cryptocurrency investments valued at

$7.6 billion – more than 12 times as much as the $630 million held by those aged 18 to 24,” says Michele Levine, CEO of Roy Morgan Research.

The findings align with insights released by the Australian cryptocurrency exchange BTC Markets, which revealed that middle-aged and older investors made up the largest in-

flow of new users to its platform in 2021.

Caroline Bowler, the chief executive of BTC Markets, says that while the reasons behind the increase in interest from older Australians vary, they are not being driven by a fear of missing out.

“The primary reason we found in our research was wealth gen-

New plans to scale back Nareen Gardens revamp Uniting NSW ACT has revealed new plans for its controversial redevelopment of Nareen Gardens retirement village at Bateau Bay which have been scaled back by 20 percent following community resistance.

The original development application (DA) was lodged in October 2021 to overhaul the existing village into a $148M six-building vertical development, however, community concerns have forced Uniting to draw up a new masterplan with significant changes.

Some of the main changes are the removal of Building 4 completely, removing the top floors from three buildings and reducing the size of two buildings on Altona Ave. Uniting’s new plan proposes a 20 percent decrease in independent living apartments to 186 and an extra 28 accessible ground-level apartments with courtyards across five buildings.

There is an increased distance of at least 12m between each of the five buildings and three of them will be further from the eastern boundary to allow for more privacy vegetation landscaping.

Removal of Building 4 means the central Village Green has been increased in size by 48 percent in the new plans but still includes a children’s playground, barbeque area, activities and seated areas.

Other changes include wider roads, improved access and security and clothes drying areas for residents.

Uniting’s Head of Property Development, Adrian Ciano, said there were gaps in quality and affordable housing for seniors in Bateau Bay which this community services development would help fix.

He said Uniting had made changes to the masterplan after listening to feedback from its existing Nareen Gardens residents, surrounding neighbours and other stakeholders.

New plans for Nareen Gardens transformation

“Uniting is pleased to provide greater privacy through less dwellings, greater setbacks, lower heights, additional screening, solid balustrading as well as increased landscaping,” Ciano said.

Spokesperson for the Bateau Bay Community Collective (Nareen Gardens Development), Erin Breneger, says the community is still far from happy.

“The development is still too

big and even though they’ve reduced it by 20 percent it is basically still a mix of two and three storey buildings and out of character for this lowdensity area,” she said.

“We have given Uniting, the Regional Planning Panel and Council a lot of feedback and they’ve done nothing really to address our concerns, except to put up some No Parking signs on Altona Ave, which means there won’t be any

access to parking on half that street.

“That’s a huge issue; it’s a tiny little cul-de-sac which was only meant to service the seven or so houses in that street, not to be a secondary entry/exit point for a village that’s now going to be built four or five times the size of its original design.

“We’ve asked Uniting to close off Altona Ave or to use it for emergency vehicles only.

“Also, we think the buildings bordering the eastern boundary should be reduced to two storeys because of the huge privacy element and overshadowing of homes along there.”

Breneger said another issue was the disruption caused by the unreasonable six-year timeframe Uniting says it will take to complete the redevelopment.

“We accept that the retirement village needs to be upgraded but we want to make sure it’s done appropriately and we’re committed to working with Uniting to try and keep everyone happy,” she said.

Full details of all the changes to the proposed redevelopment will be made available once the DA is re-submitted to Central Coast Council and subsequently placed on public exhibition for community feedback.

Uniting says it expects to lodge its revised DA “about mid May”.

Calling for big ideas to stage showcase events Central Coast Council is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from prospective event management organisations, individuals and local businesses interested in delivering events and initiatives aimed at reconnecting communities across the region.

Following the announcement of the NSW State Government Reconnecting Regional NSW Community Events Program, Council is looking to apply for $335,000 from this pool of funds to aid the delivery of community events and is calling for local businesses and organisations to help support this application.

Open from today until Sunday, June 5, Council’s EOI will allow local event organisers to put

One of the flagship events on the Central Coast calendar, Chromefest at The Entrance

forward their event concepts that further enhance local events calendars and provide renewed chances for residents and visitors of the Central Coast to come together.

Council’s Director Community and Recreation Services, Melanie Smith, said the funding would be split between

Council’s flagship events and local event organisers with big ideas.

“Council is thrilled at the prospect of this grant funding boost, which will help provide local businesses the opportunity to connect with the wider community,” she said.

“If our grant application is

successful, we plan to apply $135,000 to Council’s flagship events such as ChromeFest, Central Coast Music Festival, Love Lanes and more, with the remaining fund of up to $200,000 made available for application through the EOI process.

“Council will be honoured to offer local event organisers the opportunity to help boost the Central Coast’s calendar of events for the community, especially after the social and economic impact COVID has had on communities across the country.

“If we’re successful in receiving the funding, not only will we be able to help contribute to the enhancement of our region’s liveability, but we will also be giving a muchneeded boost to our local

Social Futures says it is easy and inexpensive to become an inclusive workplace for people with disability, opening the potential to attract new employees and customers.

Manager of capacity building, Lynda Hope, said Social Futures can deliver onsite inclusive workshops on the Central Coast and has produced helpful videos about employing staff with disabilities.

“Many talented people, with great work ethics, can’t get a job because employers either don’t recognise what they have to offer or think it will be too hard to accommodate a person with disability,” Hope said.

“Social Futures, which delivers the National Disability Insurance Scheme in northern NSW, employs many talented people with disabilities.

“We know how to make it work and we are sharing our knowledge.

“We can explain that there’s so many resources out there to support business, including funding to make workplace adjustments for an employee with disability.”

Hope said the Social Futures workplace workshop and videos had been crafted by staff and disabilities inclusion experts.

Maree Jenner with colleagues at Social Futures

She said that, according to the Australian Human Rights Commission, only around 53 per cent of people with disabilities are employed nationwide, compared with 84 per cent of people without disability.

Maree Jenner is a Local Area Coordinator with Social Futures, running the inclusion awareness program Different on the Outside, Same on the Inside in primary schools.

Born with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, Jenner said she had become adept at developing problem-solving skills.

“I work and live in a world designed for people who are taller than me, so every part of my day outside of my home throws up challenges,” she

said.

“That means I’ve become an expert at navigating obstacles.

“I’ve become incredibly resourceful. I think outside the box, and have become very flexible and adapt easily to change.

“All these attributes I bring to my work. I work to overcome challenges and get the best results.”

Jenner said many people with disabilities are adept problemsolvers because every day they needed to accomplish tasks

differently.

She said Social Futures only needed to provide a few adjustments to enable her to do her job. These changes were financed through Job Access, an employment assistance fund.

“I have a short-stature office chair with a footrest because my feet don’t go to ground, and I have an access stool in the kitchen, so I can reach the high cupboards,” she said.

“Other than that, I work in the same office as my colleagues, and have a great work life.

“I want to encourage employers to adjust their mindset and be open to what a person with disability can do for their business. Be open, be flexible, let the person with the disability show what they can bring to that job. Don’t make the decision for them.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLE

DOWN IN THE GARDEN - A Tree for Your Garden

CHERALYN DARCEY

Every garden needs a tree, even a small tree and with a little tree planning you will find one to suit yours.

Find out the expected minimum and maximum height because thinking you will just ‘trim it down’ is not a good plan as trees are healthiest if they are allowed to grow naturally.

The lifespan of the tree will need to be considered as well.

Some areas, such as the average home garden, are suited for faster-growing, short-lived trees while others, like verge trees and larger home gardens, are better for long term planning and planting.

How deep, wide and invasive the root system of trees will become differs across species so you will need to do a bit of research or ask your tree provider about these facts.

It is just as important to plant trees away from overhead lines as it is to steer clear of underground services and infrastructure.

Where is that shade going to drape itself? Website, ‘Find My Shadow’ will help you plot the sun’s position and shadow cast on your garden and home throughout the year.

The canopy of the tree is referred to as the ‘width’ measurement and this is how far the branches usually grow from the trunk and will of course impact the amount of shade and where it will fall on surrounds.

Whether the tree is deciduous, or evergreen is also important.

A deciduous tree is one that loses its leaves in the colder months and will be perfect for areas in which you would prefer increased light and

warmth in winter and shade and coolness in summer, such as a patio.

right position as they are drought tolerant and can handle the wetter months well.

*Fill in the hole and press down soil firmly to remove air pockets.

Shady Trees

Cheese Tree (Glochidion ferdinandi) provide food for many of our birds and is an excellent tree to consider as it will grow in most conditions, including shade and sun and in most soils.

Height range is 8 to 30m depending on conditions.

*Water deeply to encourage deep and stabilising root growth.

Most newly planted trees need to have their soil kept moist until they are established (a few weeks) but check with your species requirements.

I spoke with Jennifer Wilder of GUST (Grow Urban Shade Trees), a group of Central Coast volunteers dedicated to urban greening through education and community assistance about the need for shade trees in our suburbs.

“One way they help is by lowering the temperature of their surroundings, especially verge trees which make a huge difference to tarmac temperature.”

Jennifer explained.

GUST will help those living on the Central Coast plant trees on their verges, ones that are most suitable for the area, and provide gardening advice on looking after them.

They have a particular focus on encouraging us to welcome more endemic natives to be grown as shade trees on the Central Coast, which makes perfect sense as these will naturally be easier to grow and help provide shelter and food for our local wildlife.

You can find GUST on Facebook: facebook.com/ GUSTGrowUrbanShadeTrees Something Fast If you want your shade quick, these suggestions all grow faster than most trees.

Please note though that many fast-growing trees are shortlived or not as long-lived as you might like.

Blueberry Ash (Elaiocarpus reticulatus) is a coastal beauty that does very well in frost-free areas.

It can attain a height of 9m when given a rich soil that drains well and warm sunny position.

Evergreen Ash (Fraxinis griffithii), a popular parkland and street tree that grows to provide a glorious canopy to 5m in width and can attain a height of up to 8m.

Easy to grow and hardy once established.

Dwarf Lemon-scented Gum

FORT DENISON

Times are in local standard time (UTC +10:00) or daylight savings time (UTC +11:00) when in effect.

(Corymbia citriodora) will give you speed of growth, that sought-after lemon fragrance and lovely flowers without the gigantic size of its 30m fullsized relative.

These will only get to about 7m high and 5m wide so are much more suitable as the average garden shade tree.

Weeping Lilly Pilly (Waterhousia florinund) is one for the fans of soft hanging foliage.

Due to this habit, it also makes a brilliant screening tree and can, in the right conditions for it, grow to a height of 10m but you can get 8m out of most.

They are rather hardy, like full to part sun and have edible fruit.

Deciduous Trees If you are seeking that winter sun and summer shade, then here are a few likely suspects.

Red Cedar (Tonna ciliate) is a fast growing and large tree that is only suitable for those with lots of space.

It is a native rainforest tree that is one of the few Australian deciduous trees and it can grow up to 60m in height.

Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei) fills the streets of many suburbs with its brilliant, coloured flowers.

I’m a sucker for the hot pink ‘Tuscarora’ myself.

If you love colour and want a deciduous tree, I think you would be hard pressed to find something as good as these beauties.

Love to hear your suggestions though! They will grow best in full sun with rich soil and

usually grow to 8m.

Chinese Poplar (Populus simonii) is a thinner tree, and a few grown in a line can make a non-intrusive tall screen.

They suit areas where width of growth may be an issue and can give your garden that delightful autumn feel as the leaves turn from green to a brilliant yellow as the season changes.

They can grow to 12m in the right conditions but 8m is average.

Width is about 2 to 3m.

A full sun position with a rich soil is best.

Something Local If you plant something that is originally from the area you live in, then you are almost guaranteed of success and a wonderfully happy and healthy plant that also contributes to regenerating the local environment.

Here are few general Central Coast suggestions for you to consider.

Coast Wattle (Acacia sophorae) is a beautiful shrub that can grow into a small tree to 3m in sheltered positions.

It has thick foliage, bright golden flower spikes and is happiest in sandy soil.

Willow Bottlebush (Callistemon salignus) has the gorgeous, yellow birdattracting flowers and can attain a height of 5m.

It has very pretty pinkish-red foliage and although the roots can be invasive, they are a good choice if you have the

TIDE CHART

Native Frangipani (Hymenosporum flavum) is not related to common frangipani.

This beautiful tree will reward you will delightfully scented flowers in spring and can grow up to 8m, but the average size is about 6m.

Although it does like soil on the richer side, it is rather tolerant of most.

Once you have selected your tree give it the best start in life and you will be rewarded.

An old gardening saying: ‘Spend three times as much on your hole as your tree’ is very true! *No matter the soil your tree needs, it will require good drainage.

Get yours up to scratch by adding compost to heavier clay soils. *Dig the hole three times the width of the pot. *Enrich the hole depending on your tree species with compost/fertiliser. *Pop your pot into a larger container of water until bubbles cease. *Slide tree out of pot and plant to the advised depth for your species. *Ensure your tree is straight.

Install stake/s if suggested but be careful to use flexible ties and do not tie too tightly or you will damage tree and inhibit natural growth.

Trees need to be secure, but they must be able to flex in the wind.

Stakes can usually be removed after six to twelve months, depending on the tree.

City steal narrow win in seesawing contest

The City Wheelchair Rugby League team celebrate their win

City have claimed victory in the 2022 Wheelchair Rugby League clash, defeating Country 30-26 in a high-scoring shootout at Niagara Park Stadium on the Central Coast on Saturday May 14.

It was a seesawing contest from the opening whistle, with a late Liam Lough try securing the win for his side.

Within a minute City found themselves right on the attack after causing an error from the kick-off.

City edged closer to the line when they earned a penalty, then a few moments later

William Derederenalagi forced his way to the goal-line and kept hold of possession to score after being tipped.

Craig Cannane had no trouble adding the extras.

Cannane soon added a try of his own at the nine-minute mark before converting from in front of the posts for 12-0 buffer.

The next 10 minutes was all Country as they produced two four-pointers to lock up the scores.

Zac Carl scored the first of those by steaming onto a great line for his try.

The second came through Toby Popple in the left corner

after some brilliant leadup play from Rick Engles, sweeping from his preferred right to left before laying on an offload for Popple to score.

Brett Henman converted both tries from out wide.

City pushed the lead further when Derederenalagi caught the ball with room to move on the end of a right edge shift and dotted down in the corner.

Yet just when City hoped to take a six-point advantage to the break, Country responded again with a well-deserved try to Engles in the 40th minute.

Henman nailed his third conversion to tie the scores 18all at the half.

The second half started slower than the first as the score-line remained locked up for over 10 minutes.

Someone needed to break the game open and Engles obliged scooping up a loose ball at speed and racing two thirds of the field to score.

City then hit back with a long range effort as Jessie Mowczan snatched a long ball from overhead and found open space all the way to the tryline.

City still remained behind with less than 20 minutes left as Cannane was unable to convert.

The deficit didn’t last long

once City was awarded a penalty with Henman electing for the successful shot at goal.

Country would quickly work their way into scoring distance before drawing a penalty and edging back in front with two more points.

City weren’t done yet as Lough’s big moment came after 70 minutes of play.

From 15 metres out he spotted a gap and veered to his right, finding a clear path to score under the posts before Cannane brought the score to 30-26.

It remained the final score in what was an entertaining clash to round out the opening day of

2022 Country v City.

Derederenalagi’s two-try effort earned him Player of the Match honours for the afternoon.

In addition to an amazing game of footy, the crowd was treated to an impromptu rendition of the National Anthem by young girl recruited from the crowd just prior to kick-off after the MC realised he hadn’t brought with him the pre-recorded version.

From all reports, she did a brilliant job!

Semi-final heartbreak for Mariners fans The defeated Mariners after the match

Central Coast Mariners went down 3-1 in their semi-final away to Adelaide United on Sunday, to crash out of the A-League finals.

It was a disappointing end to a disappointing, up-and-down, season.

In a statement on social media, the club tweeted: “It hurts, but we are proud of what this group achieved. Written off by everyone at the start of the season, and again, we prove them wrong! We won’t back

down.”

Fans may have had higher expectations after the blue and yellow made the semi-finals in 2021.

Both teams went into the elimination final in good form, undefeated in five prior matches.

Adelaide United went on the attack from the outset, spurred on by a packed Coopers Stadium, and the home team was first to score through Craig Goodwin in the 25th minute.

The Mariners seemed starstruck by the intensity of the match at times but defended stoutly to keep the deficit to 1-0 down at half time.

The young Mariners lifted in the second term, winning an opportunity when Jason Cummings was downed just outside the box.

Beni Nkololo’s free kick beat the wall but didn’t trouble Gauci in Adelaide’s goal.

Then Cummings put the ball in the back of the net after a brilliant run from Max Ballard,

only for VAR to rule it offside.

In the 66th minute, Adelaide cut through the Mariners on the counterattack to go 2-0 up much to the home crowd’s delight.

Head coach Nick Montgomery then made a surprise triple substitution with Marco Urena, Harrison Steele and Lewis Miller interchanged for Nico Muller, Josh Nisbet and Storm Rue. The move was rewarded when Ballard turned in the box, punting the ball to Rue, who

Photo: CCM Media

tapped in for a goal, and it was game on again.

In the 82nd minute Jacob Farrell almost got on the scoresheet after N’kololo made room on the right and cut back to Farrell in the box, but he was blocked by the experienced Adelaide defence.

With six minutes added on, the visitors kept pushing.

That risked leaving holes in defence and, two minutes into added time, the home side scored their third.

The Mariners kept fighting, with a skilful header by Farrell just missing the mark.

Notwithstanding the strong showing from some of the talented young players brought into the Mariners front line this year, there will now likely be deep reflection from the club (and its new owner) on how to reconnect with community football and become a genuine flag contender.

Wins for Kariong, Avoca and Warnervale The Central Coast Rugby match of the day on May 14 saw Kariong beat the Ourimbah Razorbacks 5026 in a high-scoring game.

In a match moved to Tuggerah with Kariong Oval unfit to use, the Razorbacks opened with the first try but Kariong quickly replied to take the lead.

By half-time Kariong had jumped to a 27-12 lead. The Razorbacks crossed for two converted tries early in the second half but it was all Kariong in the final quarter, with the team posting 18 points in the last 20 minutes.

Hooker Richard Harvey, centre Mitch Clay and lock Nic Outra starred for Kariong and shining on the field for Ourimbah were prop Steve Finley, who crossed for three

tries, halfback Jarrod Grange, and fullback Toby Carver.

Avoca Beach proved too strong for Woy Woy, running out winners by 62-7 at Ettalong Oval after Heazlett Park was closed.

Avoca jumped to a 31-0 halftime lead and continued to dominate in the second half.

Best players for Avoca Beach were hooker Cooper Elliott, No.8 Matt Anderson, halfback Mitch Magrath and winger Joe Carroll, who crossed for three individual tries. Fullback Cory Delaforce, who scored the team’s lone try, hooker Sione Fanua and halfback Tiraho Pakai were Woy Woy’s best.

At Woongarrah Oval, Warnervale defeated Gosford 29-7 with Gosford losing home advantage when the venue

was changed from Gosford Showground.

It took much of the match for Warnervale to assert control.

Gosford scored first with a converted try, but by half-time

Warnervale had taken the lead by 12-7.

Warnervale cemented the win in the second half with two tries.

Best players for Warnervale

were prop Jack Gary, who scored two tries, flanker Kye Haslam and halfback Brenton Acreman. Gosford was bestserved by props Ben Harvey and Suli Hakalo.

The Terrigal-Hornsby games were not played due to COVID issues.

Warnervale leads Premier 1 on 15 points, with Avoca Beach on 14, Kariong on 11, Ourimbah on 10, The Lakes and Terrigal on 9. Hornsby and Gosford have 5 each, with Woy Woy yet to make an appearance.

The Bay President’s Cup team met The Lakes at Joseph Banks Oval with The Lakes running out winners by 41-7.

Women’s 10’s rugby continued with three excellent matches.

The Lakes recorded a

comfortable win over Kariong/ Razorbacks, while Terrigal had a close win over Hornsby.

Round 7 on May 21 will see Warnervale take on Avoca Beach at Woongarrah Oval, Ourimbah Razorbacks host Terrigal at Ourimbah Rugby Park, The Lakes and Kariong clash at Slade Park, and Hornsby play Woy Woy at Woy Woy Oval.

The Bay Rugby Club will have the bye in President’s Cup. The Central Coast Women’s 10’s competition will feature two matches; Terrigal will play the combined Kariong/ Razorbacks team, while Warnervale will host Avoca Beach.
