Heritage awards inners of Gosford Council’s inaugural Gosford City Heritage Awards were announced at a special ceremony held in Council Chambers on Thursday, May 2.

The awards acknowledge the efforts of those who actively conserve heritage as well as educate and promote heritage and history within the Gosford LGA. The awards also formed part of celebrations for Australian Heritage Week and the National Trust Heritage Festival 2013. Gosford mayor Cr Lawrie McKinna said the Heritage Awards showcased the number of dedicated individuals focused on the preservation of our local history. “These awards give us a chance to publicly thank the individuals and organisations that invest their time and skills into caring for and preserving our heritage. “We were blown away by the number and quality of entries, especially as this is the Heritage Awards’ inaugural year. “Some of the award recipients have made movies, written books and even

established museums all devoted to documenting and educating people about our heritage. “Congratulations to all of the deserving award winners for your outstanding contribution to our city,” said mayor Cr McKinna. The Excellence in Heritage Conservation award went to the Gunyah at Terrigal for extensive conservation works of the interior and exterior of the c. 1911 building and its adaptation as a dental surgery. The Excellence in Interpretation Projects award went to Bob Fitzgerald for the writing, direction and production of the documentary film Ettalong Beach, Then and Now, which was shown for the first time at the Ettalong Festival 2012. The St Joseph’s Spirituality and Education Centre Museum at Kincumber South, which was established by volunteers Zeena Elton and Bridie Murphy and provides a

historical display depicting the history and artefacts of the St Joseph’s Home for Boys, also received an Excellence in Interpretation Projects award. The Excellence in Historical Research and Publication award went to Marie Riley for her book Kincumber South Remembered: A Social History of the Community and the Boys Home. The book concentrates on the settlement of Kincumber South and the history of the St Joseph’s Boys Home which was established in 1887. Marie dedicated four years to the project including collecting oral histories and researching the history and people of Kincumber South. The Outstanding Achievement Award went to Keith Paull for his committed research into the history and heritage of the Upper Mangrove Creek area, including collecting the stories of the area, plotting the sites of early settlement and recording the oral histories

promotion of our significant heritage. Media Release, 3 May 2013 Gosford Council Media

Court rules on short term holiday lettings decision was passed in the Land and Environment Court at 5pm on Thursday, May 2, prohibiting the owner of 24 Charles Kay Dr, Terrigal, from using her house for short term letting, effective in two months’ time.

The decision was made by Justice Rachael Ann Pepper following complaints made by next door neighbours John and Rosemary Dobrohotoff who told the Court the house was regularly used for bucks’ parties and the like. Gosford Council interim director of environment and planning Mr Eddie Love said Council would continue to have discussions with the Department of Planning regarding state wide issues

surrounding short term holiday letting. Mr Love said the property at 24 Charles Kay Dr was zoned 2(a) Residential and council had corresponded with owners requesting that they address neighbourhood concerns in relation to the use of this premises. “Issues surrounding short term holiday letting have been seen across the Gosford LGA,” said Mr Love. “As this case was not an isolated occurrence it was

decided by council to define and allow ‘short term holiday letting’ of dwellings for no more than four bedrooms without consent. “Letting arrangements for five and six bedroom properties would require consent and for dwellings over six bedrooms the use would not be permitted. “The above clause was incorporated into the Draft Gosford Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2009 with the view that short term holiday

letting would be addressed by the NSW Department of Planning,” said Mr Love. “The Draft LEP for Gosford is currently under review by council and the Department of Planning. “Short term holiday letting is an important economic activity in coastal cities across NSW and we will be working with the relevant bodies to find workable solutions for all involved,” said Mr Love. Greens MP and spokesperson for tourism and housing Ms Jan Barham said the decision made by the Court was a good one. “The Court’s clarification that homes in residential

zones that were intended for long-term occupancy are inappropriate for tourism purposes is an important outcome for local communities,” said Ms Barham. “In coastal areas especially, the use of homes for short-term tourism rentals has seen many potential homes lost to permanent residents, causing a shortage in housing supply. “In terms of tourism use, holiday letting has not served the community well. “Local government faces a difficult task in addressing housing availability and affordability. “This decision clarifies the

use of approved residential dwellings for permanent residents, which should free up dwellings to ease the housing stress and ensure that tourism occurs in appropriate areas,” Ms Barham said.

demonstrated immense courage, commitment, endurance and of course mateship. “Four qualities in which Australians as a whole have adopted and should continue to strive for. “By the end of the war, one quarter of a million casualties could be counted, from a country with a small population of only ﬁve million at the time. “To put that painfully, one

in every 17 people of our total population was dead or injured as a result of the war; brothers, fathers, sons, mothers, daughters and mates. “We must also think of their families and the pain they suffered after losing a loved one to the war, something many of us could not comprehend today. “Their potential to further impact the world fading with them too, however, their legacy lives on.

“This is why we remember. “By remembering we uphold everything the Anzacs stood and fought for. “By coming together today we show our appreciation in a national unity. “The essence of Gallipoli was that in the face of potential and likely defeat, the Australian spirit prevailed. “Let us not celebrate the war on this day, but instead the people

involved. “We must look back with pride, but also look forward to further build on the foundations and freedoms these young Anzacs established for us all. “Lest we forget,” concluded Jason. Email, 26 Apr 2013 Jason Mumford, Brisbane Water Secondary College

The Hardys Bay Residents Group reported in its recent newsletter that it had removed “designated mangroves” with Council and Fisheries approval near Killcare marina in a clean-up in February. The Trust stated in its newsletter that it was “not fundamentally opposed to appropriate mangrove removal”.

However, the committee said that permits should only be granted after serious consultation with all the stakeholders including the community, Fisheries, Waterways and Council and only for the purposes of ecological health and not for enhancement of views for residents. The Coastal Zone Management Plan for Brisbane Water Estuary was prepared for Gosford Council by consultants and released last year. The plan speciﬁcally recognised the importance of preserving estuarine habitats such as

mangroves, seagrasses and saltmarsh, according to the Trust’s newsletter. “These are associated with high rates of diversity and abundance of ﬁsh, birds and invertebrate fauna and identiﬁed as protected habitats by the Fisheries Management Act 1994,” stated the newsletter. “It did, however, recommend that mangrove growth should be controlled where they are affecting key drainage channels. “This should be undertaken (where permissible) under the relevant permit or licence. “For instance, it was proposed

to deepen and widen the outlets of Mudflat and RSL Creeks in Hardys Bay so that both creeks restore tidal flushing. “The efficacy of this option in improving flushing should be assessed prior to undertaking the works.” One of the key recommendations in the Plan was to rehabilitate the eroding eastern foreshores of Hardys Bay with vegetation. The eastern shore of Hardys Bay near Hardys Bay Pde is currently affected by shoreline erosion and local residents said they had observed trees falling into

the water. This action seeks to stabilise the foreshore via the establishment of vegetation. It was also recommended in the plan, among other things, that measures to address the eroding seawall located near Araluen Dr on the southern side of Hardys Bay be investigated and implemented, The Trust will discuss a possible long-term plan for the estuary at its annual meeting on Sunday, May 5. Newsletter, 24 Apr 2013 David Legge, Killcare Wagstaffe Trust

The notice invited descendants of the Awabakal and Guringai Peoples’ ancestors, in addition to other Aboriginal persons who believe they have Native Title rights within the area, to attend a meeting at Cameron Park Community Centre on Sunday, May 5, convened by the Awabakal and Guringai Peoples. Persons of nonindigenous descent were not invited. The notice stated that the meeting’s agenda would include discussion of the decision making process to be implemented, presentation of anthropological evidence to support the proposed claim, authorisation of a Native Title Determination to be ﬁled with the Federal Court, authorisation of the applicant to act on behalf of the Awabakal and Guringai Peoples, and

clarifying the extent of the applicant’s authority. Native Title is federal legislation which was established in 1993 to recognise peoples’ traditional connection to land, and it does not confer ownership of the land but allows Native Title holders to negotiate with mining companies for royalties. The NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act was established in 1983 to provide Aboriginal people with compensation for the loss of land by giving the holder the right to build an economic base through land sales. Under NSW law, Darkinjung Land Council holds the Land Rights to the areas which stretch from Catherine Hill Bay at its northern boundary, Hawkesbury River to the South, Paciﬁc Ocean to the East and Watagan Mountains to the West, and is able to claim vacant crown land within these boundaries. When asked for comment on the impact of the Awabakal and Guringai Peoples’ intent to apply for Native Title, Darkinjung Land Council CEO Mr Sean Gordon said that Darkinjung would not be impacted and is not impacted by any Native Title claim

that may be placed on the land today or in 20 years. Community member of Darkinjung Mr Gavi Duncan of Charmhaven said that he believed the claim would be unsuccessful. “Native Title says that you need to provide evidence of a continuous physical, ceremonial, spiritual relationship with the land, and they haven’t had that at all,” said Mr Duncan. “Guringai was something that was created by Warren Whitﬁeld here on the Coast a number of years back. “He and a Gosford Council employee basically claimed that this area was occupied by the Guringai Group. “The Guringai Group was created by nonAboriginal people, and Aboriginal people have never ever recognised any Aboriginal group called Guringai. “On the Northern Beaches they have a Kuring-gai National Park, which was named by Europeans. “Guringai is just a word or a language that Awabakal and Guringai refused to comment. land as they were unable was spoken,” he added. representative Mr Duncan said that to prove the unbroken People Harley Cattini and Kaitlin Brauer was the Darkinjung People spiritual, ceremonial and Kerrie Watts, 24 Apr 2013 Interviewees: Steve Gordon had not initiated a Native physical connection to contacted by Wyong Regional Chronicle but and Gavi Duncan Title claim over their the land.

Mariners scrape through to next round of Champions League Tyson Scott, Central Coast Mariners

ixed emotions ran through Central Coast Stadium on Tuesday, April 30, as the Central Coast Mariners progressed to the last 16 of the AFC Champions League for the ﬁrst time despite a 3-0 loss to Group H winners Kashiwa Reysol.

Second half goals to Japanese international Masato Kudo as well as brilliant Brazilian’s Cleo and Leandro Domingues accounted for the Mariners, however, Graham Arnold’s team progressed to the knockout phase of the competition courtesy of Guizhou Renhe’s inability to defeat Suwon Bluewings in China. After referee Valentin Kovalenko’s full time whistle in Gosford, news trickled onto the pitch that Seo Jungwon’s Suwon had secured a 2-2 draw with Gong Lei’s Guizhou in Guiyang, meaning the Mariners’ passage to the knockout phase of the tournament had been confirmed. The Mariners fielded an almost identical line-up to their A-League Grand Final winning starting 11 for the 2013 AFC Champions League Matchday six meeting with the “Sun Kings”. Only midfielder Nick Montgomery, suspended for the A-League decider, replaced Oliver Bozanic in the Central Coast engine room. Before the game, Kashiwa

had secured first place in Group H, however, Nelsinho Baptista put forward a full strength outfit giving credit and respect to the newly crowned A-League Champions. From the outset, Central Coast piled plenty of pressure on the J-League Club. Joshua Rose fired two shots away in the opening stages, his closest thumping into the side netting. For the majority of the first half Central Coast pressed and Arnold’s team conjured their best chance in the 31st minute when Daniel McBreen made a break down the right flank. McBreen then released Bernie Ibini who used his footwork to play in Pedj Bojic. Bojic whipped in a cross to McBreen who tried to volley home but unfortunately failed to beat the Kashiwa backline. The sides hit the sheds on level terms but the A-League

WE ARE THE

Golden Boot winner McBreen was eager to start the second half with a bang. The evergreen striker was unlucky not to find the opening goal of the game in the 49th minute when he lashed a powerful drive at goal following a deflected cross. Korea Republic international Kim Changsoo was in the right place at the right time for Reysol as he blocked the ball off the line. Chances for the Mariners continued to fall as Rose made a surging run down the left and ducked inbetween the defence to fire a shot at goal in the 58th minute. Takanori Sugeno was well positioned to claim the Rockhampton-born flyer’s attempt. Despite the positive play from Central Coast, the visitors would take the lead only a minute later. Kudo ran onto a pinpoint

through in the Mariners’ area and made no mistake in sliding the ball beyond the advancing Mathew Ryan and into the back of the net. The goal served as a real momentum changer and, for much of the next 20 minutes, Kashiwa controlled the play. Kim began to advance up the pitch to collaborate with Domingues, Reysol’s key man. In the 79th minute Kashiwa doubled their advantage. After a period of confusion in the box, the ball fell nicely for striker Cleo who tapped past Ryan to make the score 2-0. The visitor’s second goal wasn’t enough to deter the home side who continued to burst forward. Rose worked incredibly hard on his wing to provide chances up front, and time and again raced back to ensure he didn’t leave a hole in defence.

However, some individual brilliance by Kashiwa’s Domingues put the game to bed in the 86th minute. From a free kick, Domingues curled a shot that just evaded the best goalkeeping efforts of Ryan. Less than two minutes after the final whistle the Mariners received confirmation from China that Guizhou had drawn with Suwon in Guiyang. With the players, coaching staff and fans shifting into celebration, it was like the team had already forgotten about their loss to Reysol as they were filled with the excitement of having achieved yet another milestone in Club history. The Mariners will face either China’s Guangzhou Evergrande or Korea Republic’s Jeonbuk Hyundai in the 2013 AFC Champions League round of 16. The first game of the home and away tie will be played at Central Coast Stadium on Wednesday, May 15.

he Central Coast Mariners’ grand ﬁnal win was celebrated on Friday, April 26, with a parade through the streets of Gosford.

The march, which saw around 10,000 people participate, began in Mann St and ended in Kibble

Park and took around 20 minutes to complete. Gosford Business Improvement District (GBID) manager Mr Paul Brasch said it was a very positive event with a great crowd, good buzz and nice weather. “It wasn’t just Gosford,

but the whole Central Coast community who were celebrating,” said Mr Brasch. “There was a real feeling of building community pride and spirit. “Everyone was so well behaved,” said Mr Brasch. The Club’s players were

available for a signing session with fans, while a photo booth featuring the Hyundai A-League Trophy was set up for supporters to have their image snapped with the ‘toilet seat’. There was also a facepainting stall on-site, while

an inﬂatable pitch was present for kids to have a kick about. Central Coast Mariners head coach Graham Arnold said the event provided a great opportunity for the Club’s players, coaches and ofﬁcial to thank the fans. “All season we have

had great support from the people of the Central Coast and many fans from outside the region too,” Arnold said.

Resident wins new car

avistown resident Mitchell Fyfe-Smith, 20, will soon be driving around in a brand new KIA Rio SLI after winning the car in the recent Monopoly Millionaire promotion at McDonald’s.

Lady luck was on Mitchell’s side when he purchased a large coke drink at McDonald’s Erina, which contained an Instant Win ticket for a brand new KIA RIO, valued at over $24,000. Being a regular McDonald’s customer, Mitchell had already collected a few Monopoly tickets, but said he never expected that a single drink purchase would deliver the major prize win. “My mates and I dropped by Macca’s for an afternoon snack. “I was already back in my mate’s car when I peeled the cup and saw the instant win ticket for a KIA RIO. “Everyone went crazy and

even then I couldn’t believe it at first because I have never won anything major before. “It was a surreal experience, to say the least! “I immediately shared the exciting news with my mum who was ecstatic for me as the KIA will be my first brand new car. “It could not have come at a better time and I am very grateful to McDonald’s and KIA for this amazing prize,” he added. McDonald’s Erina licensee Mr Ron Mussalli, who presented Mitchell with his brand new car, said he was delighted that a local customer had won a major prize. “I am thrilled that one of

our customers has won this fantastic prize. “With a one-in-five chance of winning, we were confident that a local customer might take home one of the major prizes and to see this top of the range KIA RIO SLI go to such a deserving winner is a great result,” said Ron.

Member for Gosford Mr Chris Holstein said the proposed rises in the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal’s (IPART) 2013-14 draft pricing determination have been assisted by the Government’s cap on network costs, which has meant Ausgrid network charges are below CPI for the first time in over a decade. “Network costs are responsible for approximately half of a total power bill so the Government’s savings have had a real impact,” Mr Holstein said. “The NSW Government is committed to capping rising network prices at CPI or below from 1 July 2013 after uncovering more than $2.5 billion in unnecessary future capital expenditure and operating costs under Labor. “As a result of the Government’s savings, Central Coast customers have been spared the exorbitant price increases delivered under Labor. “After experiencing an 80% increase in power prices over the last five years, today marks a turning point for electricity prices and for NSW electricity customers. “We have turned a corner – prices have plateaued, and IPART expects prices to decline by 2015.

“And while we know that families are struggling to deal with already high power bills, households can be confident that the days of Labor’s doubledigit price hikes are over.” Mr Holstein said Ausgrid alone had, to date, made savings of more than $620 million by removing duplication, reducing its operating costs and capital expenditure, and cutting unnecessary spending. “And the Government will continue to reduce costs and improve productivity in the Ausgrid network to deliver further savings to Central Coast customers,” Mr Holstein said. Energy Minister Mr Chris Hartcher said the carbon tax and green schemes continued to drive up prices with the cost impost increasing to $330 for the typical household bill. “Over 940,000 households are eligible to receive a NSW Government rebate. “The money is there, the assistance is available and the Government wants eligible households to take advantage of this funding,” Mr Hartcher said.

Alternative Gosford waterfront plan presented

Criticism is constructive, says da Costa ny criticism of the Central Coast Regional Development Corporation’s (CCRDC) 2013 proposal for Gosford Waterfront Precinct is often taken as a flat “no” to any revitalization, but nothing could be further than the truth, according to Central Coast Greens representative Ms Kate da Costa.

osford Waterfront Action Group (GWAG) hosted its second presentation on development proposals for the Gosford Waterfront on Monday, April 29.

The presentation was delivered by Friends of Gosford Group representative Mr Malcolm Brooks. Mr Brooks and his group, which include an engineer and town planner, have prepared a development strategy-plan for the entire waterfront. The plan reaches to the Western side of the Broadwater and is intended to be an alternative to the Revised State Significant Site Submission. It was prepared for presentation to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure and the community. One of the features of the plan includes the realignment of the Central Coast Highway so that there is an underpass for the traffic. “This will extend Gosford Park so that pedestrians will be able to cross unimpeded by traffic to the Breakwater and Iguana Joes,” said GWAG representative Mr Peter Carstairs. “On the Breakwater there is provision for retail outlets, cafes, restaurants, et cetera. “The existing swimming pool complex is retained on its current site but it should be refurbished and have minimal impact on the view-

aspect of the Broadwater. “The plan also proposes different zoning arrangements to that specified In the Corporation’s Revised Submission. “Residential development is suggested for the western side of the Broadwater. “Provision is also made for a variety of equipment, facilities, to enhance the public’s recreational activities and make the waterfront more people friendly. “There was a lively discussion and many questions raised about the size, utility, appropriateness and location of various aspects of the plan. “GWAG members appreciated Malcolm’s presentation and the effort his committee has put into the proposed plan. “Malcolm offered to accept written suggestions from the members about how the plan could be improved. “He said The Friends of Gosford working group would discuss to see if it was possible to make adjustments to accommodate the suggestions,” said Mr Carstairs. Media Release, 30 Apr 2013 Peter Carstairs, GWAG

“All of the community want a vibrant, lively town centre, with a pleasant if not exciting waterfront that they can enjoy,” said Ms da Costa. “We simply differ on how this might be achieved, and the Central Coast Greens are particularly concerned that the alienation or commercialization of public land in this area will not lead to a revitalized Gosford town centre but will lead simply to topping up of State coffers and developers’ profits. “We are concerned that the facts of the proposal have been buried in the spin, as can be seen in the Express Advocate article ‘12 months to lift-off’ on April 24. “There are a number of claims in this article which are not backed up by facts or even decent planning, but do reveal that the community has probably not been told the whole story by CCRDC. “Firstly, ‘The vast majority of submissions received on the proposal are in favour’ said CCRDC CEO John Taylor. “The Department of Planning and Infrastructure site for Gosford Waterfront (as at April 28) lists 274 submissions, 19 of which are comments, 21 are in support and a whopping 234 are objections. “That’s 85% of submissions. “If DoPI has received other submissions by mail, and there were campaigns both for and against

99 ea

involving petitions or form letters by email, then where are the figures? “Why the secrecy? “Secondly, ‘Development should be underway on a retail and commercial centre…by mid-2014’. “There is no mention here that the rezoning of the school site will also allow residential, and in fact, the Council would not be able to refuse consent to a developer who wanted to cover the site with apartments only. “If the CCRDC have signed an agreement with a developer to build a retail - commercial complex, why wasn’t that plan included in the public information available so that the community could accurately judge whether the proposed rezoning was the right framework for the plan? “Why the secrecy? “Thirdly, ‘…finger wharves over Brisbane Water. This plan is now off the table’. “No it isn’t. “The draft Development Consent Plan, one of the two legal planning instrument documents which formed part of this proposal (everything else was reports or spin apart from the DCP and the SEPP Gosford Waterfront 2012), contains references to apartments on finger wharves. “The section relating to pedestrian safety on page 24 (5.1.3) has the following requirement: ‘Public foreshore access is to be provided

in accordance with the following principles: - Clear lines of sight are provided between buildings and wharf structures (note plural) - Public access is to generally follow the existing foreshore line (but not necessarily and not if the foreshore line changes) development that encroaches into the Broad Water should provide public access along new wharf structures, if safety and privacy can be achieved.’ “We ask ourselves – multiple new wharf structures where privacy is to be considered – these could only be apartments on finger wharves and they are still very much on the table. “Chris Hartcher displays a rather poor grasp of history in this article but he also lets the cat out of the bag saying ‘this will refocus the centre of the city to the water, as was the case 100 years ago’. “The centre of the city was never down at the water’s edge; once settlement seriously got underway, the spine of Mann St was the centre of the city. “Hartcher’s comments show that this plan has nothing to do with revitalizing the decaying or empty buildings of the CBD, but making a new city centre. “How, we ask, will this fix the middle of town? “He and the CCRDC are using the cloak of revitalization to cover the fact that they have no plan,

but merely aim to sell off public assets and hope that there is a positive effect. “This project is a sorry tale of poor process. “A previous council asked a previous government, which had already started the process of removing Gosford Public School to sell off the land, to take the Waterfront as a State Significant Site. “The community, in the meantime, had endorsed the Gosford Challenge Masterplan, which is replicated in the draft LEP for Gosford, showing that if the school had to move, the area should be an Arts and Entertainment Precinct. “CCRDC has no apparent interest in the social good, but are tasked with maximizing the return to the State of asset sales, and so decided the Challenge plan was not commercially viable. “Most citizens haven’t read the Challenge document, nor have they looked at the draft LEP. They get their information from public statements by the CCRDC and Council staff, and these statements are now reinventing the story. “Chris Hartcher’s comments indicate that they can’t even get these stories to align – are we refocusing the centre of town to the waterfront or are we revitalizing the existing town centre? “This is not town planning, and it does not relate to the Gosford Challenge Masterplan that the community endorsed,” said Ms da Costa.

New sister city partnership with China

osford Council has agreed to enter into a Sister City partnership with Ninghai County which will see mayor Cr Lawrie McKinna travel to China to sign the agreement on behalf of Council.

General manager Mr Paul Anderson and director of economic and community development Ms Colleen Worthy-Jennings will join mayor Cr McKinna at the Ninghai Tourism Conference held from May 18 to 19 to further enhance the relationship already established with the Chinese delegates and to investigate opportunities to strengthen the future economy and cultural interface with China.

Gosford Council currently has two International Sister Cities: Edogawa City (Japan) and Nitra City (Slovakia), both of which commenced in 1988. In late March, Council was approached by Australia China Club to be considered as a Sister City to Ninghai County. Since mid-2012 the Australia China Club, Bao Asia Forum and Ninghai County have held

discussions on ways in which they might work together to form closer ties between China and Australia. Ninghai is a County in the Zhejiang Provence south of Shanghai on the Yangtze Delta. Ninghai’s proximity to Shanghai is similar to Gosford’s proximity to Sydney, albeit with much larger population numbers and both coastal cities.

Both of these coastal cities are developing commercial enterprises in ecotourism. 2013 has been named by China’s national Tourism Administration as the Year of Marine Tourism and, from this, the three organisations agreed to organise bilateral dialogue between Australia and China on marine ecotourism. The Australia China Club is central to the organisation of that dialogue. Gosford Council Agenda ECO.1, 23 Apr 2013

Gosford to host 25th anniversary Sister City celebration

osford Council has agreed to provide a financial contribution of $10,000 to host the Sister City 25th anniversary celebration from Wednesday, August 28, to Tuesday, September 3.

The celebration will include approximately four delegates from each city, led by the mayors of Edogawa and Nitra. According to a report to Gosford Council by Council’s director of economic and community development Ms Colleen Worthy-Jennings, the benefits envisioned by the anniversary visit to Gosford City would include opportunities to showcase the region to encourage tourism and economic exchange and to celebrate the 25 year friendship with Council’s Sister Cities. “Council is working in partnership with the Society of Asian Pacific

Central Coast (SOAP) and the Sister City Association Inc. to ensure that the International delegates receive a warm welcome and that the itinerary ensures a memorable visit,” stated Ms Worthy-Jennings’ report. “The visit will provide an opportunity for Gosford to showcase its natural elements and tourism attractions and activities.” A schedule of formal, Council, business and community events is being planned to occur during the 25th anniversary celebrations.

Professional analysis needed

ne can only marvel at what we are told in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;media spinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - when the CEO of Central Coast Regional Development Corporation (CCRDC) issues a media release stating that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the vast majority of submissions received on the proposal are in favourâ&#x20AC;? - before Planning NSW has even started analysis of the submissions made the week before (CCEA, 24 Apr 2013).

Such a media statement pre-empts proper professional analysis of community submissions, response and recommendations to the Minister. Such statements also totally undermine any public confidence in the NSW planning system at a time when substantial changes are being proposed. We have continually heard CCRDC theories about waterfront development being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;catalyst to revitalise the CBDâ&#x20AC;?, and unrealistic claims of â&#x20AC;&#x153;3,000 jobsâ&#x20AC;? and now we have promises to â&#x20AC;&#x153;beautify Gosford waterfrontâ&#x20AC;?. I think the community would be surprised at Chris Hartcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will refocus the centre of the city to the water as was the case 100 years agoâ&#x20AC;?. When did it transpire that

the intention of the current rezoning proposal was to shift the centre of the CBD to the waterfront? John Taylor is correct when he says â&#x20AC;&#x153;the waterfront plan would encourage commercial developmentâ&#x20AC;?. However, in the face of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;entire focus of the CBD being moved to the waterfrontâ&#x20AC;?, both he and the Minister neglect to address the detrimental economic effect, commercial development on the waterfront will have on businesses currently within the CBD.

Landing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t black and white â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 21-years-old and am planning a wedding for July, which means the future of the Central Coast is an important thing to me.

I hope to raise my family here as I was raised; playing in the streets and getting up to mischief day after day in the many wide open spaces, parks and, to my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismay, the wet lands. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reading Coast Community News on and off for a couple of years now; in particular the Forum section. I enjoy the debates, the fact that so many people have so many opinions and that we can discuss them openly and intellectually through the local newspaper. There is, however, one subject Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little sick of hearing about, The Gosford Landing. Not because I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unimportant but rather the fact that a decision hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been made. A few months ago I remember reading a call to young people of the Central Coast to express their thoughts on the proposed Landing. So here I am, expressing my opinion. I too want to preserve the beauty of the Central Coast for the generations after me to enjoy and I want my children to be able to run around in the streets, parks and wetlands. We are so lucky to have

these natural beauties available to us (that goes for a wide majority of Australia as well, not just the Central Coast). When did worrying about what visitors think become more important than how comfortable and happy the residents are? Tourism should still be on the radar as it brings money into the community but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be fools if that were the only reason to go ahead with the Landing. In saying that though, I would love for my soon-to-be husband to be able to work close to home, I want my children to have just as many opportunities for education, sports, art and culture as other children have in Sydney

and Newcastle. I want to be able to take my out of town guests into â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of Gosford for a night out. So why do we all presume that to have one we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the other? I would like to see the council compromise with the residents on The Landing. Tourists arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to flock to the Coast because Gosford has turned into another Newcastle, Terrigal or The Entrance. Creating an eco-friendly city could very well be the edge that the Central Coast needs and create not only a healthy environment for us but also a great attitude within our community; an attitude to respect and support our Central Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural beauty. We have so much technology available to us now including solar power, hydro power and wind power among many other wonderful things which can allow us to be eco-friendly without compromising on aesthetics or luxuries. Many people in the community are already taking the initial steps to becoming more eco-friendly by growing their own fruit and vegetables, walking, catching public

transport and riding bikes or scooters. There has been increasing interest for more regular community based markets (which enables people to make money off what they enjoy doing, puts money back into the community and keeps jobs on the Coast). We have the exciting new Narara EcoVillage about to become a very real addition to our community and many local people commuting to Sydney for an education in the natural therapies industry. So of course no one is going to be happy about a complete overhaul of the beautiful waterfront of Gosford, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all seen that same beauty in other cities of the world disappear once investors think only about the money they can make off tourism. From where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sitting, everyone seems to be looking only for the black and whites of the situation but the Landing contains various shades of grey as well. The Central Coast and the people who live here have a great opportunity, so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make the most of it and do something a little different and hopefully inspire all of Australia.

Council investments strengthen osford Council has reported that its Esperance CDO matured during the month of March which returned the outstanding face value of $2,091,947, which was approximately 70 per cent of initial capital invested, plus accrued interest.

According to Gosford Council’s director corporate services Mr Nic Pasternatsky’s report to Council, with the maturity of the Esperance CDO, over 80 per cent of council’s portfolio was now invested with Australian Authorised Deposit-Taking Institutions. “It is a well-diversified portfolio that has been prudently managed to take advantage of market opportunities that have risen in the last couple of years,” said Mr Pasternatsky’s report. “With markets still factoring in another interest rate cut late in 2013, overall returns are expected to decline in the upcoming months. “However, with term deposit margins still historically wide, it is expected that council can continue to achieve above benchmark returns with prudent investment selection for its short and long term holdings,” stated the report. As at Sunday, March 31, Council’s Investment

Portfolio had a current market valuation of $59,400,855, or the hold to face value of $67,357,660. “Council’s investment portfolio return outperformed the bank bill index benchmark during the month (24.57 per cent pa versus 2.94 per cent per annum),” stated Mr

Pasternatsky’s report. “The significant outperformance was due to the remaining capital (approximately 70 per cent of initial capital invested) in the Esperance CDO being repaid to Council’s bank accounts; it had been valued at 46 per cent of face value the

previous month. “Without marked-tomarket influences, Council’s investment portfolio yielded 4.35 per cent per annum during the month. “Council’s investment strategy is continuously monitored in order to ensure that the investment returns achieved are maximised with minimum risk involved.”

Soroptimists host an Osteoporosis Awareness Evening

Careflight looking for volunteers

Volunteers are needed to seek donations at Gosford, Wyong and 29 key railway stations around Sydney and the Central Coast on the morning of Friday, May 17. “If volunteers can’t help at a station they can choose their own location, such as at work or a favourite coffee

Member for Robertson Ms Deborah O’Neill congratulated the Medicare Local for funding the 15 local groups to promote preventive health programs on the Central Coast. “These grants mean our community will benefit from new programs, ranging from healthy breakfasts for disadvantaged young people to running a menopausal lifestyle and exercise program,” Ms O’Neill said. “The groups will promote a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition, reduce tobacco use, minimise harmful alcohol intake, discourage substance abuse and help reduce the incidence of

Along with the 82 other Soroptimist clubs throughout Australia, Brisbane Water members have been taking part in a national campaign of community education, which seeks to raise awareness of the disabling and serious condition of osteoporosis. This preventable and predictable disease affects around two million Australians, with statistics showing that 45% of women

and 20% of men over 60 will develop osteoporosis during their remaining lifetimes. Part of the project has been to encourage club members and women in general to be aware of their level of Vitamin D and to arrange a bone density scan in association with their GP. A petition was presented to Federal Parliament asking for Medicare funded bone density screening at the onset of menopause for all Australian women, to determine their risk of

developing osteoporosis as a preventative measure. As a culmination of this project, SIBW is holding the awareness evening which will feature three guest speakers - Dr Margaret Layton, an endocrinologist with a special interest in osteoporosis, dietitian Veronica Taffs, and physiotherapist Russell Tuckerman.

O’Neill promotes NPSI in East Gosford ember for Robertson Ms Deborah O’Neill and Parliamentary Secretary for School Education Senator Jacinta Collins visited St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School in East Gosford on Monday, April 29.

Senator Collins and Ms O’Neill visited the school to discuss the benefits of the National Plan for School Improvement (NPSI) with students, staff and parents. Senator Collins said the Gillard Government’s plan for better schools was vital for Australia’s future. “This is a plan to properly resource classrooms, teachers and students for generations to come and deliver better outcomes for all schools,” Senator Collins said. “St Patrick’s has already seen the benefits of the Gillard Government’s investment in education flow though their school in the form of some impressive Building the Education Revolution facilities, the wonderful Chaplaincy program, professional training for teachers, and support for students with disability. “But we can do more and that is why we need the National Plan for School Improvement.” Ms O’Neill said she is a supporter of more funding for local government and nongovernment schools. “St Patrick’s is no different to any other local school.

“They need more resources to provide a good education. “Teachers need more support to be at their best in the classroom,” Ms O’Neill said. “With NSW being the first state to sign up to the reforms, more than one million local students will get the resources they need to get a great education, no matter what their background is or what school they go to. “This is great news for NSW and great news for students here at St Patrick’s.

“We can’t afford to leave any child behind and an investment in education is an investment in the future prosperity of Australia.” Under the NSW agreement schools will receive an additional investment of around $5 billion over six years. Of this, the Federal Government will contribute 65% ($3.27 billion) and the NSW Government 35% ($1.76 billion). On top of this, the Federal Government has committed to boost its school education

spending by 4.7% per year from 2014 into 2015 and throughout the agreement. In return, NSW has agreed to increase its own school budget by 3% per year from 2016 onwards. The NPSI will deliver a new benchmark amount per student of $9,271 for primary school students and $12,193 for high school students, and will include extra funding for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, Indigenous students, students with disability and students with limited English skills.

with the rise of the internet and social media sites. “Cyber bullying has increased among young people and parents are also facing concerns for adolescents suffering drug and alcohol use and depression. “Parents often ask for advice and support and this is what this forum will provide. “We hope that this will be the first of a series of parenting forums providing them with information, confidence and tools to build strong and loving

relationships with their teens. “There’s no handbook on how to be a parent – so this is the next best thing,” said Ms Thomas. Regional Youth Support Services Inc manager Ms Kim McLoughry said the previous forum was successful. “Parents who attended the forum in 2012 said it was insightful, interactive, practical yet challenging. “De Groot is a clever, dynamic presenter,” said Ms McLoughry. Mr de Groot will also host

an interactive workshop at Youthconnections.com. au’s Green Central site for experienced case managers already practicing a strength-based approach with clients.

Terrigal filmmaker wins at Sundance errigal based filmmaker Jason van Genderen was awarded first prize for his six minute short film ‘Red Earth Hip Hop’ at the Nokia Music sponsored Sundance London competition held from April 25 to 28.

“This film was only made possible by the generous time and passion thrown in by my tiny crew, namely Melbourne based hip hop producer Morganics and Australian Zulu Nation representative MK-1,” said Jason. “When I made the call and said we had an opportunity to shoot a story about indigenous hip hop, and we only had one weekend to do it in, they leapt in and made it happen.” The film was made after Nokia Music and Sundance put out a global search for filmmakers to submit a 60 second trailer to pitch an underground music story from where they live. Jason and Glasgow’s Bartosz Madejski were selected as the two global finalists, with both filmmakers provided with $5,000 funding

and two Nokia Lumia 920 smartphones to record their story on. Van Genderen’s entry ‘Red Earth Hip Hop’ tells the story of how hip hop music is helping remote indigenous communities reconnect with both language and local story, with a music culture seeded in the streets of the Bronx, New York. “I guess what we didn’t count on was the rammed timeline we had to make the story a reality,” said Jason. “Our story centred on a remote settlement in far north Queensland (Lockhart River), and with Sundance London looming we literally had one long weekend to shoot, and the following week to edit before it was due,” he said. The win comes on the back of a growing international exposure for Van Genderen,

who’s films have previously taken awards at Tropfest New York, Aspen Shortsfest, Edinburgh International Film Festival and Tropfest Sydney. This year he was also recognised in his home city as Gosford’s Australia Day Ambassador for Arts, Culture and Entertainment. This was the second year Sundance exhibited films in London, at the O2. Sundance director of programming Mr Trevor Groth commented on the winning film. “We found this (film) very engaging and illuminating. “’Red Earth Hip Hop’ may be as underground and unique as you could get by reframing the way we think about seemingly disparate but intrinsically linked styles of music.” Apart from the title, van Genderen also wins a further $5,000 prize, however, it’s his inroads into the Sundance community which may provide the real win. Next on the cards for Jason is finishing his reality documentary ‘Me&Megan’ which traces his partner’s year volunteering in Ethiopia in 2010.

Gosford Show celebrates 125 years

he 125th Gosford Regional Show was held over the weekend of April 4 and 5 with organisers estimating a crowd between 10,000 and 15,000.

The show featured performances by award winning musical-circus duo Strings on Fire as well as a show by the Australian Reptile Park and an U18s talent quest. Genesis Gym’s NSW Strongman Titles were also held over the two days along with a Central Coast Bake-Off and Photography competition. The Showgirl competition was also well received with Kaitlin Watts of Terrigal taking out the title, Narara’s Ashley Jarvis winning Runner Up and People’s Choice and Kanwal’s Toni McCarthy winning second runner up. The Junior Showgirl

competition was won by Jasmine Cartner with Chantia Macpherson runner up and Bianca June White winning second runner up. Gosford Regional Show co-coordinator Mr Chris King said they had received “fantastic feedback” so far. Mr King said it was great to see families taking their kids along and having an “absolute ball”. “My favourite part was seeing happy people, seeing families come together and celebrating something about our region that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. “You generally know over the weekend whether it’s going to be well

received and this one was wonderfully received,” said Mr King. When asked if the 125th show was any more memorable than previous years, Mr King said he didn’t like to compare them. “I think, it’s like musicals, each one has its own flavour and I think we are a bit remiss if we start to compare them. “It was certainly a wonderful celebration and something that everyone associated can be proud of and it really showcased our region to the max. “It was all really good; it was all lots of fun and I loved it all,” said Mr King.

Youth variety concerts feature local talent

osford Regional Gallery launched its annual Sculpture by the Bay exhibition on Friday, May 3, on the banks of the Caroline Bay Foreshore.

The popular outdoor exhibition of assemblage art by local Year 10 school students is now celebrating its 10th year. Sculpture by the Bay is partly modelled on the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition, the international sculpture exhibition held annually at Bondi. Students from Gosford High School, Henry Kendall High School, Kariong Mountains High School, Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College - Tumbi Umbi Campus, Northlakes High

School and Kincumber High School were invited to complete works for the exhibition. Gosford Regional Gallery curator Mr Tim Braham said that the theme for the exhibition was Land and Environmental Art. “This year’s theme invited students to consider and explore relationships with the natural world and landscape through their artworks. “Students were able to work under the guidance of their art teachers, consultant

artist Col Henry and gallery staff. “Their works look fantastic and it’s great that the gallery can showcase some of our regions up and coming local artistic talent,” said Mr Braham. Sculpture by the Bay is on exhibition at Gosford Regional Gallery until May 26 and admission is free. Media Release, 3 May 2013 Gosford Council Media

Near death experience inspires art exhibition n exhibition by artist Evie Adasal will be held at the Creative Collective Gallery from May 13 to 22, with the official opening on Friday, May 10, from 6pm to 9pm.

‘Conscious’ is Evie’s story of experiencing near death and the joy of life. Evie’s heart stopped beating on July 8, 2011, aged 40. She was slim, healthy and vibrant or so it seemed to her. “I fell unconscious and distinctly recall feeling that I was somewhere exquisite and at peace,” said Evie. “The temptation to stay was so enticing. “I didn’t want to come back, but then I distinctly remember thinking of my young daughter and I knew it wasn’t my time. “That night and in the weeks that followed, I realised how fragile life is, and how in

an instant it can change. “I now have a pace maker, a second chance at life and a heart full of gratitude,” she said. Evie said he work stemmed from the depth of this experience with her paintings unlocking an explosion of colour, sounds, and memories onto canvas. “There is a sense of depth, vibrancy and volume,” said well-known local artist Neale Joseph. “The work is provocative and inspiring.” Evie said the hardest thing to paint was an emotion. “With no visual object to reference, I use colour to translate the emotional

journey. “I feel more alive than ever and compelled to live fully, doing what I love with all my heart. “Painting is my passion. “To let go and not control the outcome simply lets a story unfold in my work, which I hope can inspire others as much as it has me.” The show will be officially opened by Neale Joseph at the Creative Collective Gallery with guest speaker Sarah Williams.

ANZAC tribute at Gosford Bush Poets’ meeting

osford Bush Poets held its monthly meeting on Wednesday, April 24, at the Gosford Hotel.

“The night saw a smaller than usual crowd at the Gosford Bush Poets but the 20 people who came along seemed to enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere,” said Gosford Bush Poets president Mr Vic Jefferies. “We saw some great poems presented during the evening and some wonderful singing of our resident tenor Nick Lock. “Nick also recited a couple of poems and, as I have been saying to him over the last little while, he is almost as good a reciter as he is a singer and I hope he

continues to present poetry in the future. “During the night we also heard from Norman Allen, Chris Kessey, Jan Lock, Ken Tough, Brian Bishop, Arch Bishop, Jeannie Lawson and Jill Neville. “There were some great tributes to the ANZACs and although the crowd was less than usual it proved to be a wonderful relaxed night of great poetry, song and friendship,” said Mr Jefferies.

Bob Marley remembered at Rhythm Hut he Rhythm Hut in Gosford will celebrate Bob Marley’s anniversary on Saturday, May 11, from 6:30pm with a night of live reggae and dancing with Afro Moses.

In the first half of the night, Afro Moses will pay tribute to the legend himself.

will be. “The Hut is going to be absolutely pumping with this one. “So put on your dancing shoes, grab your mates and make sure you get your tickets early - this could sell out fast.” Media Release, 2 May 2013 Shelley James, The Rhythm Hut

Musicians celebrate decade of charity work usicians Making a Difference (MMAD), a Central Coast based charity, will soon celebrate a decade worth of work with young people through music and mentoring.

To mark the occasion, MMAD will host a 10th Anniversary Edition of their first ever camp program called 351 (three days, five elements, one shot), an evidence-based youth camp designed to inspire young people to reach their full potential, such as The Voice winner Karise Eden and Australia Day Award winner Emma Hull. 351 Camp will be held from May 10 to 12 in Sydney’s Northern Beaches and registrations are encouraged from young people nationwide. 351 Camp, supported this year by the Australian Institute of Music (AIM) and UnLtd is an inspirational three days of music and dance workshops, confidence building, group sessions and performances aimed at engaging, encouraging and empowering young people to make steps towards positive goals. Young people work together with well-known artists and mentors to learn new skills in songwriting, street dance, production, performance and singing. The camp also helps young people to learn more about themselves and the industry while discovering ways to put dreams into action. Participants of past camps have had the privilege of learning from ARIA award winning musicians, industry greats and popular recording artists including The Potbelleez, Bliss N Eso, Australian Idol Vocal Coach Erana Clarke, Justice Crew, Darren Percival, Prinnie Stevens and Sarah De Bono.

Gosford Wildcats thrash Terrigal “breaks their Macquarie Uni duck” in Union round five

Photo: Andrew Stark

nine goal second quarter paved the way for a rousing Gosford Wildcats victory over Macquarie University during round four of the Sydney AFL competition.

The 25-15-165 to 7-648 win over the previously unbeaten Warriors at Adcock Park pushed the Wildcats up into third spot on the third division ladder. Having kicked six goals and three behinds before the

students had even troubled the scorers, Gosford ran riot during the second term to lead 96-26 at the game’s mid-point. Scott Manuelle ended the day as the game’s leading sharpshooter, thumping

through eight goals while full forward Tim Eather kicked six and skipper Brad Deitz chimed in with three.

he Central Coast Rugby Union competition continued with round five under grey skies on Saturday, May 4.

The Match of the Day saw Terrigal record their first win of the season when they defeated Kariong by 24 points to five at The Haven Oval. Right at the start of the match strong winds made playing quite difficult but the home side were able to play solid rugby to dominate from the start. Terrigal had the better of the first half and were able to go to the halftime break leading by 12 points to nil. Both teams had periods of attack where points could have been posted but it was Terrigal who were able to do it. Terrigal had some good players during this period but none were better than lock Alex Brewin who was strong both in attack and defence. He was well supported by number eight Rob Head and prop Daniel Hilton who crossed for a try during the match. Terrigal continued in the same vein in the second half. They continued to dominate and were able to record a 12 nil result in the second stanza as well. They scored a further two tries in this period to run out winners by 24 points to five. Kariong did cross for a try in the second stanza but it was all too late. Best for Kariong were young prop Corey Horwill, centre Jason Briot, and flanker Blake Silvester. It was a pleasing win for the Terrigal side who have had some close losses in recent weeks but this win gets their competition going in what is proving an interesting start to the season. Warnervale continued their good recent form with a convincing 41 points to 0 win over The Entrance at Joseph Banks Oval. Warnervale dominated from the outset and went to the halftime break leading by 29 points to 0. Basically the win had been secured at that stage but The Entrance played well at times, and were able to limit Warnervale to only 12 points in the second half. It was a most spirited match, with both teams having periods of ascendancy. The Entrance just could not cross the line to post points. The match was a real arm wrestle in parts and probably was much closer than the

scores indicate. Warnervale had several good players but the best were lock Richard Houston, number eight Afele Tongia, who scored two tries, and halfback Dylan Acreman. The Entrance were best served by locks Nick Valentine and Luke McLenaghan, who were both in the thick of the action all day. This was a good game of rugby and one where the defence from both teams was quite strong. Avoca Beach ran out convincing winners when they defeated Woy Woy at Woy Woy Oval by 61 points three. Avoca Beach were in total control for the whole match. The first half was a relatively even affair with the visitors only leading by 17 points to three at the halftime break.

However in the second half the floodgates opened and Avoca Beach were able to run in a total of 11 tries in the match. Avoca Beach have certainly started the season in tremendous form and have jumped to the top of the competition ladder as a result of this win. Best players for Avoca Beach were winger Peter Mitchell, who crossed for three individual tries, flanker Pat Jenkins and prop Luke Sheridan. Woy Woy’s best player was half back Damon Boxsell who continues to play well each match. Gosford and Northlakes scored a win apiece in their lower grade matches at Slade Park.

Taranto and Jeffries attend development camp

wo Central Coast life savers represented the Central Coast branch at the 2013 Junior Lifesaver of the Year (JLOTY) development camp and awards in Sydney over the weekend of April 27 and 28.

Gabi Taranto of MacMasters Beach SLSC and Beau Jeffries of Avoca Beach SLSC were selected to represent the Central Coast from a strong field of life savers. The award recognises and rewards outstanding younger members of the surf lifesaving movement who show an advanced level of maturity and leadership potential. During the camp the finalists from each branch were involved in a wide range of fun, challenging and teamwork-based activities requiring great leadership and communication from the participants. “The Junior Lifesaver of the Year camp is a fantastic opportunity to recognise our most promising young lifesavers as well as further

develop their skills and attributes and show them the amazing opportunities within Surf Life Saving,” said SLSNSW member services director Mr Gary Chapman. Avoca Beach lifesaver, Gabi Taranto, said she had an amazing experience. “I thought it was really fun and I met a lot of fun people and made some great friends as well.

“I loved all the games we played but it was also really interesting taking the tour of the head office (SLSNSW) and it made me realise all the things that I can do within surf lifesaving and the opportunities that are out there.” Media Release, 30 Apr 2013 Matt Miller, Surf Life Saving NSW

Qantas Socceroos head coach Holger Osieck said he was eager to work with the players on the pitch. “We currently have two groups of players, those that are still playing in their domestic leagues and those from Australia that are in their off-season,” said Osieck. “The purpose of this training camp is to assess the physical standard of the players out of season and get them to a similar level compared to the other players,” concluded Osieck

Chinese and Australian Champions to clash at Gosford

he Central Coast Mariners will welcome back-to-back Chinese Super League winners and one of the wealthiest Clubs in Asia, Guangzhou Evergrande, to Gosford this month.

Heading into match day six of the 2013 AFC Champions League, the Marcello Lippi coached Evergrande knew a draw at home to Korea Republic’s Jeonbuk Hyundai would seal them top spot in Group F of Asia’s premier club competition. At the end of 90 minutes at the Tianhe Stadium on Wednesday, May 1, the two teams settled for a 0-0 stalemate, ensuring the ‘Southern China Tigers’ would be booking flights to Sydney for the Wednesday, May 15, first-leg meeting with Graham Arnold’s Mariners. Fans attending the fixture between Central Coast and Guangzhou Evergrande in Gosford will be witness to the lion-hearted A-League winners up against one of the financial heavyweights of world football. Guangzhou Evergrande made headlines in July 2011 when they signed Argentine attacking midfield star Dario Conca from Brazilian side Fluminense on a three-anda-half year deal for a fee of $10 million. At the time, Conca was the third highest paid player in world football, netting $12.5 million per season to join Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) and Lionel Messi (Barcelona) as one of the best-paid players in the globe. It took Evergrande only another year to smash their own Chinese Super League transfer record with the signing of Paraguayan striker Lucas Barrios from German outfit BVB Borussia Dortmund for 12 million. Reportedly, the former Colo-Colo player Barrios secures an annual salary of $9 million. But undoubtedly Guangzhou’s biggest name does his work not on the field of play, but in their technical area.

Having coached Italy to their 2006 FIFA World Cup triumph in Germany, Lippi swapped Europe for China in 2012 and has already guided Evergrande to Chinese Super League and Chinese FA Cup success. Along with his World Cup win, Lippi has five Scudetto’s (Seria A Championships), four Italian Super Cups, one UEFA Champions League, one European Supercup, and one Intercontinental Cup to his name. The majority of Lippi’s success at Club level came with Italian heavyweights Juventus, where he worked extensively with Sydney FC marquee Alessandro Del Piero. The Mariners’ Arnold was an assistant to Guus Hiddink in 2006 when the Qantas Socceroos played Italy in round 16 of the FIFA World Cup in Kaiserslautern. And, the Central Coast coach said he can’t wait to pit wits with the respected Evergrande manager again. “Marcello Lippi is one of the world’s truly great football figures and it’s unquestionable he will be the most famous person ever to coach a team on the Central Coast,” Arnold said. “But while we will show Marcello Lippi and Guangzhou all the respect they deserve, we will not

fear them. “We have a two week preparation heading into the game and our full focus will be on achieving a positive first-leg result to take to China. “We will begin the process of analysing Evergrande immediately. “Our Club will take enormous pride in hosting Marcello Lippi and the Evergrande team, and the match promises to be a great occasion for all Australian football fans,” he said. Central Coast Mariners will play the second-leg of its 2013 AFC Champions League Round of 16 clash with Guangzhou Evergrande on Wednesday, May 22, in China, with the aggregate winner advancing to the competition’s quarter-finals commencing in August.
