GHOTI SPELLS Humans are very reasonable. We start asking “Why?” from the age of two and we’re not happy until we find one. Then we relax, feel more secure, and start feeling happy. Any answer will do as long as it makes reasonable sense. For example “Why does the sun go round the earth?” Answer: “Because the earth is the centre of the universe” – All very reasonable. But the damage is already done, we’ve asked a wrong question and we’ve accepted a wrong answer and like a cat and a hot stove we’ve adjusted our behaviour in line with both. As Mark Twain wrote, “If a cat sits on a hot stove, that cat won't sit on a hot stove again. That cat won't sit on a cold stove either. That cat just don't like stoves.”

FISH Bondi BUZZ EASTERN SUBURBS

Of course, as we grow olde r and our brain becomes “smarter”, we can review what we’ve learned and modify our behaviour. But many people still avoid walking under a ladder “In case it brings bad luck”; not “In case something falls on you”. We’ve just witnessed the birth of superstition, and once hard wired into our system, it’s hard to Butremove.notallsuperstitions are ba d. Rafael Nadal has a 19 step ritual that he observes on entering the court and before starting the game. They have served him well, and to date he has won 22 Grand Slam Finals (the most of any male tennis player). So the trick is to make a ha bit of choosing empowering superstitions, and downplay those that leave you feeling weaker and make life narrower. “All progress depends on the unreasonable man” wrote George Bernard Shaw, his justification being that “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself” His other quotes included “When I was young I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures, so I did ten times more work.” and “Progress is impossible without change, those who cannot change their minds cannot change. anything.” Like Nadal he made a big impression on the world, and left us with no doubt that he thought chang ing our thinking can help change our life. Some of the thinking he tried to change was our way of spelling English words. As a member of the British Simplified Spelling Society his plays used words like “wont” and “havnt” instead of “won’t” and “haven’t” and he also said that a child should not be punished for spelling “det” without a “b” (just because it was related to the Roman word “debit”) - To illustrate the lunacy of English spelling he showed that GHOTI could be pronounced FISH using the words “TouGH”, “wOmen” and “naTIon” to illustrate the point. We promise that the rest of the paper has traditional spelling and great articles about the September Movies at Hoyts Eastgardens and Approval of the Kamay Ferry Wharf (P11); Lord John Menswear Closing Down Sale (due to ill health) (P6); Club Rose Bay your local community hub (P9); How State Government amended Woollahra Council planning regulations without consulting the council and Your chance to win a diamond valued at $3,000 (P4) and, of course, our ever popular What’s On Bayside (P5), What's On SE Voice (P12) What's On Bondi (P16) and the latest Walkabout with Ruth...Yarranabbe Park to Rushcutters Bay Park (P10). As always, a big thank you to our readers, advertisers, contributors, distributors, printers and the growing ESL team. We hope you enjoy the September edition.

Amendments have been made by the NSW Minister for Planning, Anthony Roberts MP to the State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021 (Housing SEPP) without consultation or advance notice to facilitate even more Seniors Housing development in the Woollahra LGA. Seniors Housing (independent living units/ residential flat buildings) can now be developed by any person in the R2 Low Density Residential zone in the Woollahra LGA and can be constructed in Heritage Conservation Areas. Prior to the recent changes Seniors Housing was restricted to the NSW Land and Housing Corporation and/or operators under the Retirement Villages Act 1999. This restriction ensured that the intent of overriding the low-density controls in the R2 zone to deliver Seniors Housing was met and that the accommodation developed was properly managed as Seniors Housing. Higher density development on land that is GOVERNMENT MORE PLANNING CONTROLS INzonedWOOLLAHRAforlowerdensityimpacts

STATE

We are extremely disappointed with the State Government’s policy position, and we support Council’s resolution on July 25, 2022 to write to the Premier and the Minister expressing our concern with the recent retrograde decisions in relation to the Seniors Housing, which ignore and override Council’s planning controls and drive housing at the expense of local communities. Council also resolved to request the State Government to reinstate the requirement that if Seniors Housing is to be built in R2 zones they must only be developed by the NSW Land and Housing Corporation or operators under the Retirement Villages Act 1999 and to permanently exclude Seniors Housing from Woollahra’s Heritage Conservation Areas.

RESIDENTS

Luise Elsing (Cooper) Council further resolved to review its planning provisions to identify opportunities to strengthen its planning provisions in relation to Seniors Housing if the State Government does not meet Council’s valid www.residentsfirst.orgrequests.

State Government has refused to exclude Seniors Housing from Heritage Conservation Areas notwithstanding Woollahra Council’s submission demonstrating that Seniors Housing to meet the anticipated demand to 2036 was adequately provided for in other areas of the LGA. This type of development in Heritage Conservation Areas undermines the special character and integrity of our heritage. This is development at all costs

The queen of Sydney crime journalism turns her eye onto the Queen of the Con in this live streamed session from BAD Sydney in Double Bay.

Each week, a small but committed group of quiet people come together at St Mark’s Anglican Church in Darling Point to make a big sound. These are the members of St Mark’s Darling Point Change Ringers, ringing bells high up in the church tower, to mark worship services, celebrate community weddings and herald other local and royal occasions. They are part of a wider community of change ringers in Sydney’s church towers, joining together to learn, to challenge themselves and to celebrate a tradition lasting thousands of years. One might think, given its size and pitch, a bell would be impossible to control. But bell ringing does not require musical ability nor a great deal of strength. And for those more familiar to the practices of campanology, mathematical ability is not a pre-requisite either. Come as you are!

Michael, a now regular mem ber of the St Mark’s Bell Ringer’s, provides some insight into his first steps in becoming a bell ringer: “Getting started was easy as I had a great teacher…who would give me one on one lessons on a weekly basis. There is also a weekly group practice…with six or more ringers for when you have developed more control of your bell.” Gaining individual confidence of the bell typically takes a couple of weeks, confidence in a group setting likely to be a few months and from there, the learning is endless. Our most experienced ringers still learn and try new things from the long list of historical “methods” and tunes. If you are interested in gettin g involved, want to learn more, or maybe just see some bells in action then St Mark’s is calling for you! We are looking to expand our group and to hold new learners’ sessions (interest permitting). We currently have established weekly practice sessions on Monday evening and Friday daytime, however, given the number of towers around Sydney and wider Australia, we can assist you with getting in touch with a tower most convenient for you. We’d love to hear from you, so please get in touch through email bellringers@stmarksdp.org See u in the tower!

In addition every member of every group is also a member of the whole group so someone in Rose Bay can contact someone in Little Bay to ask about a local art Charitiesexhibition.can jo in for free and share news with their members in private and news with as many local communities as they wish. The same is true for Social Clubs and Businesses, who can share details of events and special offers. The netwo rk also enables many other things.

RSL clubs evolved to take care. As our young men of the past went to war, and as some of them didn’t return, leaving fatherless families and sonless mothers, these places evolved to offer consolation and support to an Australia that had been deeply hurt. This notion of caring remains today, and the new GM at the Rose Bay RSL Club wants to revitalise his club by re-energising it as a caring and familial community space where people can gather and share food and Daveconversation.Bellhastaken the re igns at Club Rose Bay. Today, we’re a place for everyone, he says, old and young. We are a community here and you can always come in and feel welcome. He talks about the relaxed ‘just drop in and have a beer’ vibe; (which you can if you live more than 5kms away, or if you haven’t visited yet), and the usual Friday night meat raffles and (tucked away) poker machines. But we are blessed to have pockets of small and large spaces, says Dave, and we host many community activities from Sea Survival courses and Radio Clubs to knitting and Latin American Dancing. A young lady walks by us with a dog. Dave smiles. Dogs are allowed? I ask, slightly surprised. Outside, yes’, he says. Three children race across the floor, and I ask where they’re going. ‘To the kids room,’ says Dave. ‘They love it.’ We are sitting in th e bistro and there’s a moment when I can smell burgers. The Chef - Ray Lo - makes ‘em mean and very bacony. Dave tells me about the American who visited a few weeks ago and says it was the best burger he’d ever tasted. I resist and order a coffee.

There are a lot of sto ries here. From old war tales to narratives surrounding Rose Bay Airport, which Ansett flew into until 1974. A couple of old guys wave from a table outside and neighbours drop in for a beer. Hugs all round. Local diggers come here to feel remembered.

And last, but not leas t, there are ‘museum’ pieces, medals and boots and a propeller from a fighter jet. Photographs on the walls and folk who tell stories. Theres a lot of history here and history shouldn’t be forgotten, says Dave. History is a sign that we’ve changed, grown, and become something new.

In this Ed 45, join me for a leisurely walk from Yarranabbe Park to Rushcutters Bay Park.

I head down towards the seawall and come across a Swamp Mahogany Tree with a plaque. This commemorates the site of Sydney's first successful watermill, built and operated by Thomas West on Rushcutters Creek. It was opened by Mrs Macquarie, wife of the Governor, on Jan 14, 1812. WALKABOUT WITH RUTH Ruth Kliman

Walking along the path I come across The Drill Hall, which was previously part of the Royal Australian Navy base, HMAS Rushcutters. It is one of the oldest surviving Australian military buildings. Today it is available as a venue and rehearsal space for the arts, training and film shoots. The Drill Hall had been the site of navy use and administration for much of the twentieth century. In 1979, it was transferred from the Commonwealth to the State and in 2000, it was also the headquarters for sailing events for the Sydney Olympics and Paralympics.

Much of the RAN's former site is now the centre of civilian sailing activities including the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYC) (formed in 1944); the Royal Australian Navy's Sailing Association (RANSA); the d'Albora Marina; and ship chandlers and associated services. Each Boxing Day it is the starting point of the annual Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22)

Yarranabbe Park then joins Rushcutters Bay Park. Shortly after the park's creation, part of the reclaimed land around the bay became the venue for the NSW Voluntary Naval Brigade which used the site between 1880 and 1907 as a training venue. After the 1911 formation of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) the park became the site of the Sydney Naval Depot which they continued to use through both World Wars and beyond. The site was commissioned in 1940 during WWII as HMAS Rushcutter and de-commissioned in 1960. In 1979 the Navy's land was transferred to the NSW State Govt for public recreation and in 1987 the Rushcutters Bay Maritime Reserve Trust was appointed to manage the site.

The Sydney Stadium once stood on land on crnr of NSH Rd and Neild Ave, Rushcutters Bay. It was built in 1908 on a former Chi nese market garden, and was leased by boxing promoter Hugh Donald Macintosh as a venue for sporting events. It also hosted the biggest sporting event in Australia's history at that time, where over 20,000 crammed in the stadium on Dec 26, 1908 to see Tommy Burns fight the African-American Jack Johnson. This fight captivated the world because it was the first time that a 'black' man fought for the prestigious World Heavyweight Boxing Championship, with Johnson winning to take the title. From 1954 onwards and through the 1960s, the stadium was frequently used to host concerts by visiting overseas performers. It hosted The Beatles first Sydney concert in June 18, 1964. It was demolished in 1970 to make way for the construction of the Eastern Suburbs Railway. I continue my walk in Rushcutters Bay Park, passing Reg Bartley Oval. The oval was named after Reg Bartley, who was Lord Mayor of Sydney in 1943–1944 and 1946–1948s. A Civic Reform Association member, Bartley was attacked by a member of the Communist Party of Australia over a proposal to demolish "Maramonah", a mansion in central Sydney, inhabited by 600 squatters, in order to lay out a park. Bartley's plan was eventually taken up, and the site of the mansion is Fitzroy Gardens in King's Cross.

The southern section of the park was under the control of the Navy for a period of time, including during WWII. Along the walk there is a sculpture in the shape of an egg by Professor Zhang Yangen. Titled Sea's Nest, the sculpture with its cage-like egg shape, creates a window to the brick egg inside, bringing the viewer the idea of breath of life, as well as alluding to a possible mythological being from the sea.

THE HERMIT is the Tarot Card for VIRGO. The card shows a hooded figure holding a long staff in his left hand and a lantern in his right hand. On the lantern is a shining golden star. This star indicates wisdom shining within although outward appearances don't seem that way. Virgo is the sign of a loner who guides others along the way. THE HERMIT is forever questioning and analizing. He is diplomatic and expects alot from himself. Always playing by the rules and paying attention to detail. He survives difficulties in a strong way and knows how to reap the benefits of his growth. But he must try not to get too caught up in others problems.

JUSTICE is the Tarot Card for LIBRA This card features a Goddess with a pillar on both of her sides. The sword she holds is a symbol of truth, power and wisdom. The Goddess is also holds the scales which represent logic and unbiased decisions. She is one of balance. Her decisions are impartial and perfectly fair. She feels she must have everything right in terms of balance. The scales sometimes tip from left to right or vice versa. This often makes her feel overwhelmed. It is important for her to know she is in charge of the gifts bestowed upon her. By her ruler VENUS she is also given the ability to attract many friends as she is showered with extra charm.

The wharves a re projected to be 230 metres long in La Perouse and 250 metres in Kurnell,

Roberts approved the proposed state significant structure on July 21, leading to a flurry of social media activity. Community groups on social media sites such as Facebook, post weekly encouraging residents and users of Kamay National Park in La Perouse to write to Tanya Plibersek, Minister for Environment and Water. Under the E nviro nment Protection and Biodiversity Act, the project still requires Plibersek’s approval due to its impact on four marine threatened species.

The NSW Gove rnment is working with the Gujaga Foundation, to ensure First Nations peoples are effectively engaged in the development process, as La Perouse is home to one of urban Sydney’s most densely populated Indigenous communities. The ferry is said to provide better access to the Kurnell Precinct to support a cultural meeting place for the First Nations community. However, residents a nd other stakeholders are concerned with the irreversible damage to the marine environment to threatened species such as the Posidonia australis seagrass, White’s Seahorse and Black Rockcod. Residents are also concerned about increased traffic congestion in the area and limited parking, as the suburb is only serviced by a single lane road.

La Perouse residents remain anxious following NSW Minister for Planning, Anthony Roberts’ controversial decision to approve the Kamay Ferry Wharf.

It is hoped that Randwick Council’s unanimous decision calling for these environmental impacts to be reviewed, that Minister for Environment and Water, Tanya Plibersek, will have no choice but to intervene.

More than 118 submissions have been received from local residents, water sports enthusiasts, among other users, objecting its development. One submission commented that the plan was “ludicrous.”

The surrounding Kamay Botany Bay National Park will also be improved with walking and cycling routes, as well as improved access and facilities for recreational vessels. The areas revitalisation will provide immense socioeconomic opportunities as a result of increased tourism to the area in hospitality and commercial maritime services.

The $49.3 mill ion pro ject proposes the re-construction of a ferry wharf between La Perouse and Kurnell. A ferry service first operated between La Perouse and Kurnell from the 1890s, but ceased in 1974 after severe storms damaged the wharves.

LEARNMORE Congratulations and thanks for making our neighbourhoods better places to live, work, learn and play.

Port Botany, here in south-east Sydney, contributes $10.7 billion to NSW’s Gross State Product and supports more than 52,000 jobs. More than 30 per cent of workers at the port live in the community surrounding the precinct. Nearly half of all goods in the average Sydney home have come into the country via Port Botany – everything from televisions and fridges to washing machines, lounges, and toys. So, there’s every chance you know someone who works at the port or have many items in your home that arrived via a container at Port Botany. As a part of the local Port Botany community, I know first-hand that there are so many people and groups here doing extraordinary things to support one another. At NSW Ports, we’re excited to do our bit to give back to our neighbourhoods to help them thrive. That’s why I’m thrill ed to a nnounce 17 groups will receive NSW Ports’ 2022 Community Grants. Nine of these grant recipients will implement initiatives in the communities around Port Botany, and our Enfield and Cooks River operational centres to make our suburbs better places to live, learn, work and play. This incl udes the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation, which has received an NSW Ports grant for its Ngala Nanga Mai program that brings local Aboriginal mothers and their children together through art making to support their health and wellbeing. Sport a nd p hysical activity play a big part in keeping us all healthy and well. NSW Ports’ grant to the Maroubra Lions Rugby League Football Club will pay for new goal post pads to ensure safe sport at Snape Park, while South Sydney Mount Carmel Junior Cricket Club will receive funding to upgrade its cricket nets. Our natu ral env ironment is precious, and we all have a part to play in ensuring a sustainable future. With this in mind, NSW Ports has awarded a grant to The Fix it Sister Shed to build a floating island in Sir Joseph Banks Park, to support black swans and turtles. We are also de lighted to support local school initiatives, which includes a grant to Enfield Public School to build a sensory playground and yarning circle that will become a meeting place for the whole community. NSW Ports’ comm itm ent goes beyond our economic contribution. A community is only as strong as the people who look after it and we’re proud to help support them. By working together, we can keep building strong, inclusive, prosperous neighbourhoods.

The Bondi Pavilion com munity radio studio comprises a professional standard broadcast and producer facility, with shared access to two music studios which means the studio will be available to the community: “As a community radio station, we are there to provide the support necessary to attract community involvement and use,” Smythe said.

Eastside FM opens a window on radio at Bondi Bondi’s new community radio studio launches on September 22 through Eastside Radio 89.7FM – part of the exciting opening of the newly renovated Bondi Pavilion. The Pavilion studio i s Eastside Radio’s second site – the local broadcaster’s main studios operate out of Paddington Town Hall – and will provide an important part of the station’s broadcasting programs which operate 24 hours a day. Eastside was awarded the licence to operate the studio by Waverley Council. “We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity, and for the support and belief of Waverley Council,” Eastside Managing Director Tony Smythe told Eastern Suburbs Life. “When peop le s tart walking through Bondi Pavilion again, they’re going to be amazed at the incredible renovation that’s taken place and they’ll understand just how lucky we feel to be a part of this amazing community project.” Eastside Radio has been on air for 39 years, so this operating licence represents a proud new chapter in the station’s long history of broadcasting from Sydney’s eastern suburbs. “Eastside Radio has been wanting to have a stronger connection to both Waverley Council and the Bondi community for many years,” Smythe said.

"As Eastside is the on ly radio station in Sydney to devote five mornings a week to supporting theatre, dance, film, design, literature, Indigenous, visual and other art forms, we think it’s a natural fit for us.”

A further attraction is being able to view a live radio studio at work - people will be able to walk past the ground floor studio window and watch inside. Bondi is recognised as offe ring m any interesting events and exhibitions covering music and the arts, year-round. “Bondi is a very artistic community,” Smythe observed. “There’s so much going on in Bondi, sometimes events could do with more support, with more people knowing about them.

In 1978, Glebe local and Sydney University student, John Silk’s interest in wind energy led to his fascination and love of kite making and flying. John, along with several of his friends, decided that it would be great to run a kite festival and decided that Spring at Bondi Beach was the best time and place to launch their idea. On Sept 10, 1978, 44 years ago, the first Festival of the Winds took off!

Sydney Jewish Museum’s new exhibition Shaken To His Core: The Untold Story Of Nolan’s Auschwitz showcases a collection of 50 Auschwitz works by the acclaimed Australian artist, Sir Sidney Nolan, that have never been seen before in Australia. They were painted with great intensity in late 1961, during the trial of the infamous Nazi, Adolf Eichmann, and as Nolan prepared to visit Auschwitz on an art commission. Until recently, these works remained mostly hidden away, their stories untold for over half a century – yet they reveal a darker side of the late artist, who was best known for his depictions of the mythology of bush life in Australia, including his paintings of bushranger Ned Kelly. In early 1962, Nolan arrived at the former death camp ready to paint. But the experience of seeing the gas chambers, piles of human hair, glasses, shoes and the rows of bunks where prisoners slept shook him so completely to his core that he decided never to paint Holocaust imagery again. In the months leading up to the Auschwitz visit, Nolan grappled with how he might paint the death camp; agonising over Sydney Jewish Museum exhibits Sidney Nolan’s Auschwitz paintingswhetherthehorrorsof the Holocaust could ever truly be the focus of art. Then in April of 1961, the Adolf Eichmann trial began. Nolan, like the rest of the world, was captivated by the global televised coverage of Eichmann, the man responsible for the ruthlessly efficient railway system that transported Jewish people to their deaths at Auschwitz. In the final weeks of the trial, Nolan created about a dozen portraits of the war criminal, mirroring the famous images of Eichmann sitting behind bulletproof glass.

“Hosting an exhibiti on this rare and groundbreaking is a testament to the Sydney Jewish Museum’s unique brand of storytelling – the kind that only comes from 30 years of holding the memories of Holocaust survivors and of preserving the voices of history,” says Sydney Jewish Museum CEO Kevin Sumption PSM.

“This is a viscera l and emotional exhibition that puts an inimitable lens on history, drawing us beyond historical facts. It fills the gap that imagination cannot stretch to,” says the Museum’s Head Curator, Roslyn Sugarman.

In late 1961, Eich mann was sentenced to death. This gave Nolan the release he needed and the artist immediately switched to painting the victims of the Holocaust. He painted Auschwitz prisoners screaming and shrouded in smoke, crucified on smoking crosses. He depicted some as skeletons, overflowing from wheelbarrows and some as dead bodies laid out in neat rows.

OFFICE CONTACT DETAILS If you have any issues relating to the NSW Government, or you are not sure where to go to for help, please contact my office on (02) 9398 1822; coogee@parliament.nsw.gov.au or visit us at 15/53-55B Frenchmans Rd, Randwick. You can also visit my website at marjorieoneill.com.au and while you’re there, be sure to sign up to my online community newsletter too! Inter-war flats Waverley Council is inviting the community to provide feedback about our new Inter-War Flat building design guidelines. The guidelines help protect, maintain and modify our wonderful and much-loved Inter-War residential flat building heritage. The guidelines provide advice to those who intend to maintain, upgrade or alter Inter-War residential flat buildings in Waverley. Consultation closes Sept 19. For more, including details about our Have Your Say days, visit haveyoursay.waverley.nsw. gov.au Draft ControlDevelopmentPlan We are also seeking feedback on our proposed changes to the draft Waverley Development Control Plan (Waverley DCP). The Waverley DCP contains detailed planning and design guidelines to support the planning controls set out in the Waverley Local Environmental Plan. Proposed updates include implementing the Our Liveable Places Centres Strategy and Inter-War Flat Building Heritage Design Guidelines and sustainability and waste updates. Consultation closes on Sept 19 Have Your Say days are also planned. For details, visit haveyoursay.waverley.nsw.gov.au Shark nets

While the NSW Government may have failed to listen and act on the demands of the tens of thousands of locals who signed petitions, wrote letters, and attended rallies as part of the fight to Save Our Buses.

The feedback we provi ded based on the science and data, and as part of this consultation, is that we support shark mitigation options that minimise impacts on marine biodiversity while protecting our swimmers and surfers. This includes not supporting the continuation of shark meshing at Bondi and Bronte beaches due to the devastating impacts on marine wildlife and there being more modern and effective technologies available to track and monitor sharks. Waverley Council is not, nor has it lobbied the state government for the abolition of shark nets at our beaches. We have simply fulfilled the government’s request for feedback on the matter. Council will continue to have di scussions with the government on its shark mitigation strategies and respects whichever strategies it employs. Council also resolve this month to investigate training our lifeguards as drone pilots to help monitor shark activity.

Grants awarded for community groups

Twenty six local community groups have been awarded funding of more than $134,000 as part of Council’s Community Creative, Community Partnership and Community Connect Investment Program. This includes funding for the Jewish Film Festival at Randwick Ritz, Latrobe Community Health Service Family Fun Day, La Perouse Junior Rugby League Club and funding for a Seniors Wellbeing program in Coogee and Kensington run by Holdsworth. Some of the Community Partnership programs include a retreat for victims of domestic violence and an after school tutoring program for in need children.

Plan to tackle port noise Council will write to the Port Authority of NSW to request that a noise abatement strategy be developed to help reduce night time noise emanating from port operations.

New BeachMaroubraplaza McKeon St at Maroubra Beach will be closed to cars and handed back to people as part of a six-month temporary plaza that will be open from the end of Sept to Mar 2023. The project is being funded as part of a $500,000 State Government Streets as Shared Spaces grant. Outdoor dining fees for local business will be waived to encourage them to take advantage of the new space. The proposal was consulted with the community recently with 90% supporting the plan and 89% agreeing that people would stay longer if it was a well-designed public space. Council will create additional parking on nearby Fenton St to offset the temporary parking reduction.

Have your say on Council’s financial sustainability

Waverley Garden Awards Nominations for the Waverley Garden Awards open in September. Held every three years, the awards celebrate the joy and fulfilment gardens provide. Gardens help improve the quality of our environment and wellbeing. Any type of garden can be nominated, so to find out more, keep an eye out for updates on our website or email publicgardening@waverley.nsw.gov.au

The NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) manages shark mitigation in NSW including shark nets. In 2021, Council participated in stakeholder consultation with DPI on preferred shark mitigation measures.

A new 2.4km cycleway will improve safety along New South Head Road in Rose Bay, ensuring the iconic Rose Bay Promenade is accessible for all to enjoy. Located between Wil lia m St, D ouble Bay and Norwich Rd, Rose Bay, the Rose Bay Cycleway provides a safe solution for cyclists and pedestrians and enhances transport options along the area’s only direct connection to the city. Delivered by Woollahra Council with funding assistance from the NSW Government, the Cycleway incorporates separate spaces for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles along the Promenade, through a design that balances the needs of all road users, having incorporated extensive community feedback and concerns around safety. Visit woollahra.nsw.gov.au/rbcycleway for further info.

To help build long term financial sustainability and meet the demands of our growing community, Woollahra Council is considering applying to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) for a Special Rate Variation (SRV). This would allow Council to address a range of priority projects directly linked to heritage protection, recreation and trees, climate change action, active transport, community infrastructure and service improvements.

Rose Bay Cycleway

New home proposed for Randwick WIRES Council is contributing $400,000 to help build a new animal shelter at Randwick Environment Park to support WIRES volunteers house and rehabilitate injured native wildlife.

We are seeking community feedback on three SRV-related options, which will help identify the level of funding commitment that residents and businesses believe is appropriate for the community’s future. Visit yoursay.woollahra.nsw.gov.au/sr v for further details and dates for opportunities to speak to staff about the proposed SRV at pop ups across Woollahra and via a webinar. To have your say, you can also email at records@ woollahra.nsw.gov.au, or make a submission by mail to PO Box 61, Double Bay 1360, before Oct 4, 2022.

O'NeillMarjorieMP MEMBER COOGEEFOR Hi TooEveryone,often,the big decisions that shape our communities are taken out of the hands of locals who stand to be affected the most. Managing competing priorities can be a challenge and often involves a juggling act, but it’s the job of a competent government to consult, listen, and deliver on the needs and wants of the communities it represents.

Residents have reported a recent increase in excessive noise at night including low-frequency noise from vessels and loud bangs associated with loading and onloading containers, crane alarms and high pitch tones.

Transitioning to Net Zero Emissions Randwick Council is well on its way to achieving net zero emissions by 2030 with greenhouse gas emissions forecast to reduce by 80% this financial year compared with 2017/18. Emissions from electricity usage has been eliminated with the procurement of 100% solar energy and Council has been working to upgrade street lights with energy efficient globes, install rooftop solar and to convert our vehicle fleet over to hybrid and electric.

As your local member, I will not be engaging in back-room deals and political horse-trading on the issues that matter. Our community deserves transparency and accountability from their Government as much as they deserve high quality public transport.
