Barbarians win $20,000 in Sevens

by Craig Morgan

e s t f i e l d Barbarians are the new champions of the Fitness First Central Coast Sevens after a comprehensive 41-17 victory over Sunnybank on Saturday, October 27.

The Fijians ran riot over the defending champion to claim the $20,000 first prize, showing exceptional speed across the park to score several long-range tries. Filipo Nakosi, Setefano Rasekaia, Asaeli Vula and captain Pio Tuwai took the Nadi-based club out to 24-0 early doors but Sunnybank hit back with Junior Laloifi also turning on the afterburners to score twice. Down 12-24 at haltime, Laloifi very nearly went in again, however, a turnover led to a Nakosi try at the other end of the field and a comfortable 29-12 lead. Waisea Nacuga and Samu Saqiwa got in on the act for Westfield before Laloifi was rewarded with his hat-trick. Westfield’s Maika Tuinasavusavu was named the MVP for the tournament. Despite the loss, it was an exceptional effort from Sunnybank who are also fielding a team in the Borneo Sevens this coming weekend and both finalists will now head to the Fiji Coral Coast Sevens on November 15-17. Elsewhere, Samurai were too strong for Iconz winning the Plate 36-12, with Nafi Tuitavake and Pita Ah-Ki scoring twice, Island Breeze won the Boot (Bowl) 33-17 over Kwaussie and number eight All Stars took home the Shield 52-14 over Sid Vaka. Meanwhile, the Dragons Women tasted success with a 26-15 win over Parramatta.

The interstate affair was physical and energysapping and Sunnybank’s greater fitness saw them claim the $5000 first prize and the Jobs on the Coast Cup. Nareta Marsters and Tallisha Harden scored to give Sunnybank a 14-0 lead

before Patricia Raikadraka narrowed the gap to 14-5 at halftime. Unaiasi Biau opened the scoring in the second spell for Sunnybank but a nice break from Losa Fangupo made the score 21-10. When Kirby Sefo ran outside her marker and

sprinted to the line it was all over at 26-10 although Jasmine Sio had the final say for Parramatta. Sunnybank had scored three tries to beat Te Whanau 15-7 in their semi final while Parramatta also crossed three times as they beat Hunter 21-12.

Sunnybank’s Cheyenne Campbell was named the tournament’s MVP. Earlier, in the men’s semis Westfield beat fellow Fijians Nabua 19-10 after leading 14-10 at halftime and Sunnybank rallied from 0-10 down against Wardens to win their semi final 19-

17 with the final kick of the match. Henry Taefu scored the try and kicked the winning conversion while Nigel Ah Wong and Laloifi scored Sunnybanks’ other tries. Fijian internationals Alipate Ratini, Ilai Tinai and Joji Ragamate crossed for Wardens. Westfield had been untroubled in pool play with rising star Josua Tuisova scoring in every match, in contrast to Sunnybank who lost 15-21 to Island Breeze. However, Sunnybank went through to the semis courtesy of the bonus point they collected for finishing within seven points while Island Breeze were left to rue the default to Central Coast for arriving late at the Morrie Breen Oval. The tournament featured 16 men’s and 12 women’s teams in the strongest field in the four-year history of the event. Other past or present international players on show included Orene Ai’i, David Raikuna, Kylem O’Donnell, Belgium Tuatagaloa and Iopu Iopu and Sosene Anesi (New Zealand), Waisale Beci (Fiji) and AJ Gilbert and Dan Yakapo (Australia). Australia coach Michael O’Connor was an interested spectator at the event.

existing underground development in Australia Ave. The project would also remove about 600 metres of overhead high voltage 11kV mains in the vicinity of McEvoy Ave, Bapaume Ave and Priestman Ave. The site of the easement is a drainage reserve and Council has agreed that the terms of the easement be drafted to allow for any underground works on the eastern side of the existing easement to allow for maximum widening of the drain on the western side should the need arise. According to Gosford Council’s director corporate services Mr Nic Pasternatsky, the surface drain is currently at its limit in containing peak flows and would need widening in the future to contain

additional flows and to allow for climate change impacts and possible rock lining. “It is recommended that the underground cable be laid as close as possible to the outer boundaries of the drainage reserve, which is the eastern side under the access track to allow for maximum widening of the drain on the western side,” Mr Pasternatsky stated in the report to Council. Ausgrid has advised that the cable would be laid on the eastern side of Lot 3 within the existing eight metre wide overhead easement which would leave approximately 22 metres from the property on the western side of the drainage reserve to the edge of the existing easement.

he Land and Environment Court has declared that the consent given by Gosford Council for an 800-seat meeting hall in Macdonalds Rd, Lisarow, was invalid.

The decision, which resulted from action taken by Lisarowraid Inc. was delivered on Friday, October 12. The development plans were approved in May of this year by Gosford Council despite recommendations for refusal by Council’s town planners on two occasions over the last two years. Both planning reports had concluded that the development was inappropriate for the area, with town planning principles highlighting that the proposed building and intended scale of usage were out of character for the area designated scenic protection rural (conservation). “Councillor approval not only ignored those two recommendations but dictated increased changes of rural streetscape with additional works including major road reconstruction of urban style, the removal of and threatened damage to trees, all compounded by heavier traffic in the area,” said Lisarowraid secretary Mr Stanley Crellin. “State planning law does not allow objectors to challenge such planning

In seeking that approach, we acknowledge our current Council’s gracious readiness to accede to the decision of the court, and trust our further negotiations are met with an understanding of a constructive approach. “With a desire to protect environment and amenity for all, Lisarowraid Inc. appeals for continuing involvement and support from all who have seen this proposed development as a threat, not just to the immediate neighbourhood, but one that could easily be replicated in many other valued rural residential areas of our city of Gosford,” said Mr Crellin.

Thomson has home and ofﬁce raided by police SW police, on behalf of fraud and extortion squad detectives from Victoria, searched the home and electoral ofﬁce of Federal Member for Dobell, Mr Craig Thomson on the morning of Wednesday, October 24.

Victorian police, with the assistance of NSW police, executed two search warrants, one on Mr Thomson’s Bateau Bay home at 7am and the other on his electoral ofﬁce at Tuggerah at approximately 10:15am. The searches were in relation to the ongoing investigation, Operation Vespine, by fraud and extortion squad detectives in conjunction with NSW Strike Force Carnarvon. Mr Thomson spoke to the media outside his home on the same day at

10:30am. “This morning we had the police come and execute a search warrant in relation to the broader inquiry into the national ofﬁce of the Health Services Union,” said Mr Thomson. “They took a couple of documents; I volunteered a couple of documents. “Can I say that the police acted in a thoroughly professional manner, they showed great courtesy and acted in a way that I think we would all expect.

Media release, 15 Oct 2012 Stanley Crellin, Lisarowraid Inc. Police removing items from Craig Thomson’s home

“Can I say at the outset, that I’ve done nothing wrong, that we are fully cooperating with the police in relation to this investigation. “We think there is still some time for this investigation to go before it’s concluded, but we are very much looking to it concluding, hopefully before the end of this year. “Can I also say that there isn’t that much more that I can add, given that this is an investigation that’s ongoing by the police, other than confirming that today was in relation to the national office of the union and that the police were here. “I would like to reiterate that I have done nothing wrong, and I’m very confident that at the conclusion of this investigation, that will be the conclusion that the police reach as well,” said Mr Thomson. The two raids come in the wake of a statement released on Monday, October 15, by Fair Work Australia, confirming

proceedings had been commenced in the Federal Court of Australia against Mr Thomson. The Federal Court action is a result of the general manager of Fair Work Australia, Ms Bernadette O’Neill’s investigation into the national office of the Health Services Union (HSU), which concluded in March 2012. Ms O’Neill confirmed that the claim included 37 alleged breaches of general duties imposed on officers of registered organisations and 25 alleged breaches of Health Services Union rules.

“I have not taken this action lightly. I am satisﬁed that it is in the public’s interest to pursue the allegations in the documents ﬁled in the Federal Court today and consider that there is a reasonable prospect of success,” said Ms O’Neill. “If successful, I will be seeking the imposition of pecuniary penalties relating to each of the 37 alleged contraventions where penalties are available. “I will also be seeking orders which require Mr Thomson to pay compensation for loses allegedly incurred by

the HSU by reason of the alleged breaches of general duties should they be proven,” said Ms O’Neill. The maximum pecuniary penalty that can be imposed by the court in respect to each contravention of the general duties is $6,600 for an individual. Pecuniary penalties are not available for breaches of union rules.

Central Coast Sharks defeated by UTS he Central Coast Sharks gridiron team were beaten 43-8 by UTS on Saturday, October 27, at Slade Park, Budgewoi, in the NSW Division One Gridiron football league.

The Sharks were in eighth place in the league coming into the game, and were pumped up after a 4212 loss the previous week against the Wollongong Mustangs. UTS, fourth in the league, boasted a defence ranked second (giving up an average of only 13 points per game) performed as expected, holding the Central Coast to one touchdown in the game. The Sharks’ defence played solidly in the first quarter, forcing a fumble on the final play of the quarter to keep the scoreboard blank after 15 minutes, however, UTS was able to build some momentum with a 40-yard touchdown run, and converted to take the lead 7-0. Central Coast attempted a trick play on their next

possession, however, the UTS defence was up to the task and forced a punt, which was botched by the Sharks’ long snapper and resulted in a safety, taking the score to 9-0. The Sharks put together a strong defensive performance for the rest of the half, though quarterback Matthew King threw a costly interception which was returned for a touchdown

midway through the second quarter. UTS also scored on a blocked punt recovery and another interception return to lead 30-0 at halftime. The Sharks’ offense struggled throughout the first half with dropped catches and false start penalties, and managed only two first downs in the half. In the second half, UTS quickly increased their

lead with a second running touchdown, however, the Sharks managed to block the extra point attempt and the scoreboard showed 36-0 in the early third quarter. The Central Coast defence made their play of the game late in the third quarter, forcing and recovering a UTS fumble and returning the ball to the one-yard line. The Sharks’ offense

promptly scored with running back Jacob Meers, who also converted the two-point attempt to get the Sharks on the scoreboard. “After I scored the touchdown, they wanted to take me out, but I said no, I’m taking it in!” said Meers, who confessed that the twopoint play was identical to their touchdown play. In the final quarter, the Sharks threw one more

interception and allowed a passing touchdown which made the final score 43-8. Some bright points for the Central Coast in the game was the performance of their kick return team, which averaged over 20 yards per return, and also their pass defence, which only allowed one touchdown against one of the league’s better offenses. “I wish the offense had played as good as our defence,” shared Sharks’ running back Jacob Meers, who scored all of the team’s points. “We can win, we just need the offensive line to hold their blocks and give [quarterback] Matt King some time.” Meers commented that the team was missing some of their regular offensive linemen, but promised that he owed them all a drink for the blocking on his touchdown run. Central Coast play their final home game of the season on November 10 against the Bondi Raiders, at 4pm at Slade Park, Budgewoi.

Academy launches rugby program

by Central Coast Academy of Sport media

he Central Coast Academy of Sport, in partnership with the Australian Rugby Union (ARU), officially launched the ARU 201213 Junior Gold Program to a group of athletes and proud parents at an orientation evening held at Mingara on Wednesday, October 24.

The ARU Junior Gold Program is operated across Australia with 23 Junior Gold Centres and 11 in NSW. The Junior Gold Programs attract just on 1000 rugby union players in the age bracket of 15 to 17. It is expected the Central Coast will train jointly with the Hunter and a number of the three Gold centres operating in Sydney Metropolitan area. The rationale behind the joint training is to assess how advanced the Central Coast athletes are in comparison to Gold Centre athletes from adjoining areas. Central Coast Academy of Sport ARU Junior Gold Program head coach Paul

Sinclair said that through involvement with the ARU Gold Program, Central Coast athletes would undertake training that was standardised across the country. “Aspects such as strength and conditioning, skill development, fitness profiling (to name a few) will allow

our athletes to gain a greater appreciation as to their development from a National perspective,” said Sinclair. “I must compliment the ARU and the Central Coast Academy of Sport for partnering to form a program of considerable significance. “If the Academy or the

ARU attempted to do this program in insolation, it certainly would not operate to the very robust level that was outlined last evening. “The rugby coaching staff are all highly qualified and they left the orientation highly motivated to bring the best out of every athlete,” said

Superannuation – SMSF Update We have had an increase in clients setting up their own Self Managed Super Fund of late. The reason is simple. Over the last few years, industry and retail funds have performed extremely badly. Most clients have had enough. They are sick of fund managers charging huge fees when their balance has declined. If you have any doubts, we encourage you to look at your super fund statement. You need to take back control. Don’t leave your future financial welfare in the hands of others who may not have your best interest in mind. NRAS Many people are not aware of this scheme. In 2008 the government created the National Rental Affordability Scheme to assist the provision of rental property for low income earners.

P6 - GRANDSTAND - November 1, 2012

Mariners take Heart from Melbourne win stunning free kick from right back Pedj Bojic helped Central Coast Mariners secure a 1-0 victory over Melbourne Heart at AAMI Park on Sunday, October 28.

Bojicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling effort just six minutes after the half time break ensured the Mariners claimed their second win of the 201213 Hyundai A-League campaign and extended their dominant record over the red and whites. In seven A-League meetings with Heart, the Mariners have now won five times, Heart just once, while the two clubs shared the spoils of battle on the other occasion. In a game of few clearcut opportunities, Bojic produced a moment of true quality soon after the commencement of the second 45. After tapping the ball to former Qantas Socceroo Mile Sterjovski, the defender curled a sweet shot past Clint Bolton and into the back of the net from 25 yards. The two teams went into the sheds at half time with the score locked at 0-0. The first 45 minutes, as with the match, was devoid of much action in front of goals as both Arnoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men and Aloisiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outfit struggled to craft opportunities to open

the scoring. Heart had the first opportunity of the game via the boot of former Qantas Socceroos midfielder Richard Garcia. Having been picked out by former Mariner Dylan Macallister, Garcia skewed his shot from a good position well wide of Mathew Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal. For a large portion of the first half, the Mariners were restricted to chances from set piece positions. Bojic let fly from the dead ball in the 24th minute but his shot flew straight at Bolton who claimed comfortably. In the 37th minute, Garcia again looked threatening when he struck a low effort from long range. His shot had some venom behind it however Ryan did well to dive low to his right and save to ensure the score remained 0-0. Just minutes before the break, the Mariners crafted their best opportunity of the first 45. Following a neat midfield move, Michael McGlinchey sent an inviting cross into the box. Sterjovski stormed onto the pass and fired at Bolton, however, the experienced stopper reacted swiftly to deny the former FC Basel man. It took Graham Arnoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team just six minutes to open the scoring after the break. A well-worked set piece saw Bojic fire at goal

having touched the ball to Sterjovski. With Patrick Zwaanswijk lining up as if he was going to cannon a shot at goal, Bojic curled a fine right foot effort into the top corner. Heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josip Tadic had a guilt-edged chance to level proceedings in the 65th minute having been picked out by David Williams but could only manage to strike straight at Ryan who blocked the shot away for a corner. Heart had another opportunity to restore parity to the clash late in the game when Garcia sent a diving header at goal. Nevertheless, Ryan again had his positioning spot on to thwart the Heart raid. Post-match Marinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Graham Arnold said that he would return to the Central Coast happy knowing his side hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played to its potential, but had still earned three crucial competition points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think both teams looked a little bit rusty,â&#x20AC;? Arnold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were good patches of play but some average patches as well so it took a nice free kick to get us the three points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very happy with our defensive structure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work hard on our defence and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give too much away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young Maty Ryan had one good save to make but other than that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three clean sheets in four games and our defence is strong.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give us a five, six out of 10 and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go home with the three points happy,â&#x20AC;? he said. Arnold said the Mariners had focused on frustrating Heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influential midfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried not to give them any space,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of respect and time for the players theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got, especially their three midfielders (Richard) Garcia, (Matthew) Thompson, and Fred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to nullify those three getting on the ball and taking control of the game and I thought that we did that well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to frustrate them and at times I think it worked,â&#x20AC;? he said. The win lifted the Mariners into the Hyundai A-League top four ahead of the visit of southern foes Sydney FC to Bluetongue Stadium on

The delegates met with council to ďŹ nd out about development opportunities in the Shire, with council presenting an outline of economic opportunities in the Shire and an overview of future planning projects. Delegates were given a full overview of the Warnervale Chinese Cultural Theme Park proposal by the Australia China Foundation Association (ACFA). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council is delighted to be one of the few select areas chosen to visit by this delegation of Chinese Government ofďŹ cials,â&#x20AC;? said mayor, Cr Bob Graham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What it shows is that we have a strong reputation when it comes to future proposals involving economic development in the Shire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our visitors were very keen to learn about

a lot of projects we have currently and projects that are coming up and how we go about managing these projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great coup for Council to have our work recognised at an International level,â&#x20AC;? said

Cr Graham. Last year, an agreement was signed between the Australia China Foundation Association (ACFA) and Wyong Council to investigate a site at Warnervale as the

potential home of a Chinese Cultural Theme Park. The agreement allowed the proponents to investigate a potential 15 hectare site, on Council land, for the purpose of constructing

the $500 million Cultural Theme Park. The ACFA required access to Council land in order to fully develop a proposal that would have a detailed business plan, ďŹ nancial strategy, beneďŹ ts and costs, to

enable them to go back to China and source additional funding to raise the necessary capital for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know this project already has the support of sectors of the Chinese Government which is critical for getting corporate support in China,â&#x20AC;? said Cr Graham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has the potential to be one of the biggest tourism developments in New South Wales in a number of years and also create more than 1,000 jobs in the local area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The delegation was certainly very interested in being briefed on the progress of this development and they were very enthusiastic about the work Council has done to assist in getting it to this level,â&#x20AC;? said Cr Graham. Council expects to make a further statement about the proposed Chinese Cultural Theme Park in the coming months. Media Release, 17 Sep 2012 Wyong Council Media Email, 26 Sep 2012 Cameron Bell, Wyong Shire Council

The Central Coast

ne of Wyong Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iconic Development Sites will proceed to public exhibition following a determination from the State Government to allow a Planning Proposal for the site.

The move by the State Government opened the door to develop the Key site on the corner of Marine Pde and The Entrance Rd at The Entrance. The Planning Proposal seeks to amend Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zoning instrument to permit additional building height on the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a Development Application and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the applicants will start building tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? said Cr Bob Graham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to the Development Application actually coming into Council and the ďŹ rst sod being turned, but that timeframe is completely up to the proponent,â&#x20AC;? said Cr Graham. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of place management Mr Paul Bowditch said the move by the State Government was extremely positive for the future of Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iconic Development Sites program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this proves is that the State Government has further endorsed Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iconic Sites process, which is a step

forward not just for The Entrance, but for all of our other identiďŹ ed Iconic Development Sites in the Shire,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Bowditch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a win for our process and a win for The Entrance community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to being able to announce further good news in the future in regard to our Iconic Sites across the Shire and the community and developers can have conďŹ dence that our process is working and the State Government is being very supportive of our work,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Bowditch. At the end of 2010, Council identiďŹ ed 28 iconic development sites around the Shire as having the potential to provide an economic stimulus to the Shire and create jobs. One of those was the Key site in The Entrance, and Council set a process in motion that could eventually see a $45 million development built on the site creating around 100 fulltime jobs. The Key site has long been vacant and has

gone through numerous owners over the past three decades. The site has also been the subject of proposals that have never progressed. Council has established a strong relationship with the current land owners and developers to the point where they have submitted a proposal that includes retail and food outlets, 93 apartments, and almost 400 jobs including 120 on completion. In June, Council voted to initiate a planning proposal and forward it onto the State Government, seeking permission to vary Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Local Environmental Plan (LEP) in order to relax height restrictions for the development to proceed. The State Government put Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request through a Gateway Process, and the proposal was endorsed subject to conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the ďŹ rst of our Iconic Development Sites to go through this process and reach this stage,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Bowditch.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are currently working with the Department of Planning to address the conditions imposed and consult with the nominated government agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having said that, we expect to have a proposal for the Key site on exhibition later in the year,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Bowditch. Part of the incentives in terms of the relaxation

of height restrictions for developers means the proponents have also had to factor in signiďŹ cant public beneďŹ ts in their plans along with the need to provide a building that embraces the concepts of design excellence and green building design. In this case, the public beneďŹ t comes to $1.55 million worth of improvements to the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can I say at the outset, that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done nothing wrong, that we are fully cooperating with the police in relation to this investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think there is still some time for this investigation to go before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concluded, but we are very much looking to it concluding, hopefully before the end of this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can I also say that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that much more that I can add, given that this is an investigation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing by the police, other than conďŹ rming that today was in relation to the national ofďŹ ce of the union and that the police were here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to reiterate that I have done nothing wrong, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very conďŹ dent that at the conclusion of this investigation, that will be the conclusion that the police reach as well,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Thomson. The two raids come in the wake of a statement released on Monday, October 15, by Fair Work Australia, conďŹ rming

The Federal Court action is a result of the general manager of Fair Work Australia, Ms Bernadette Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigation into the national ofďŹ ce of the Health Services Union (HSU), which concluded in March 2012. Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill conďŹ rmed that the claim included 37 alleged breaches of general duties imposed on ofďŹ cers of registered organisations and 25 alleged breaches of Health Services Union rules.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have not taken this action lightly. I am satisďŹ ed that it is in the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest to pursue the allegations in the documents ďŹ led in the Federal Court today and consider that there is a reasonable prospect of success,â&#x20AC;? said Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If successful, I will be seeking the imposition of pecuniary penalties relating to each of the 37 alleged contraventions where penalties are available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will also be seeking orders which require Mr Thomson to pay compensation for loses allegedly incurred by

the HSU by reason of the alleged breaches of general duties should they be proven,â&#x20AC;? said Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill. The maximum pecuniary penalty that can be imposed by the court in respect to each contravention of the general duties is $6,600 for an individual.

Jets end Marinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; winning streak in controversial circumstances

by Central Coast Mariners media

entral Coast M a r i n e r s â&#x20AC;&#x2122; unbeaten start to the 2012-13 Hyundai A-League season came to an end at Hunter Stadium on Saturday, October 20.

In controversial circumstances, Graham Arnoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men were defeated 2-1 by Newcastle Jets in a heated Hyundai A-League F3 Derby clash. Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marksman Ryan Griffiths converted a dubiously awarded penalty early in the match, before Emile Heskey doubled Newcastleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantage

from close range in the 61st minute. Substitute Central Coast striker Bernie Ibini netted a 71st minute goal to give the Mariners hope of snatching a late equaliser. While the yellow and navy were the stronger of the two sides and controlled the majority of the game from a footballing perspective, they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite manage to restore parity to the contest late on. The tone of the match was set in the opening minute of play when Ruben Zadkovich launched a dangerous challenge on Joshua Rose. With James Virgili holding on to Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shirt, Zadkovich

flew in with a studs-up challenge that referee Ben Williams deemed only worthy of a yellow ticket. The intent of the tackle perhaps suggested that a red card could have been brandished. Further indiscretions by Zadkovich as the match played out went unpunished by referee Williams. In the fourth minute, Williams awarded the Jets a controversial penalty. Competing for the ball, Heskey and New Zealand international Michael McGlinchey clattered into one another in the box. The referee adjudged McGlinchey to have fouled

McGlinchey plays in World Cup Qualifier

by Central Coast Mariners

entral Coast M a r i n e r s midfield schemer Michael McGlinchey put in a man of the match performance for New Zealand in a 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying match on Tuesday, October 16.

McGlinchey netted a neat double for the All Whites as they continued their perfect run in round three of Oceania qualifying with a 3-0 win over Tahiti in Christchurch. Playing the full 90 minutes for Ricki Herbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, McGlinchey scored in the third minute of play

and additional time at the end of the second stanza to help take New Zealand a step closer to their second consecutive FIFA World Cup Finals appearance. His late second was the pick of the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals. Former A-League star Kosta Barbarouses forced a save from Tahitian custodian Mikael Roche, however, Roche could only manage to punch the ball into the path of McGlinchey. From outside the box, the Mariner sent a curling effort into the top right corner of the goal. Mariners head coach Graham Arnold praised McGlincheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performances

on the international stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mikeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (McGlinchey) has done fantastically well,â&#x20AC;? Arnold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got two goals and I hope he can continue that form with us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that one of our three foreigners is a current international. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It breaks things up for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always comes back (from international duty) much fresher and more hungry, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to have him in that system over there.â&#x20AC;?

the burly marksman. Griffiths made no mistake with the subsequent spot kick and fired low to Mathew Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left to gift his team the lead. After the contentious early setback, the Mariners began to play some impressive football. Tomas Rogic looked especially sharp as he floated between the lines to cause the Newcastle defence problems, while Mile Sterjovski found the head of defender Trent Sainsbury via a corner. Sainsburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s header forced a sharp save out of Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; custodian Mark Birighitti. Roared on by a strong and passionate crowd, the two teams kept the intensity of the game high after the break. Neat interplay opened a half chance for Rogic early in the second stanza, but Birighitti dropped low to snuff out the danger. In the 58th minute, impressive defender Rose burst down the left before cutting the ball back for Sterjovski. Unfortunately for the Mariners, Sterjovski just miscued his shot and the ball went wide of the Newcastle goal. Three minutes later, Virgili produced a dazzling run down the right side before crossing for Heskey. The former England international made no mistake in prodding the ball into the back of the net from close range. Ibini looked dangerous from the moment he entered

the match and in the 71st minute the Nigerian born attacking ace scored the Mariners the goal they needed to get back in the match. The ball fell kindly to Ibini following a touch from McGlinchey and the lanky marksman had no trouble in finding the back of the net. The Mariners continued to press in search of an equaliser, and threw everything bar the kitchen sink at the home team. The yellow and navy were convinced theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d restored parity to the clash deep in injury time when Patrick Zwaanswijk headed a long ball into the back of the net. However, the assistant referee poured cold water on the Marinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; celebrations, raising his flag to complete a frustrating evening for Arnoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. In the post-match press conference, Arnold said that, despite the defeat, he was pleased with the way his team performed at Hunter Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was a fantastic performance by the boys,â&#x20AC;? Arnold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good derby, a lot of action, and I was very happy with our performance overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our combinations, our movement was first class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if we continue to play like that, and we will do, then I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see why we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be successful again this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three incidents that happened in the first five minutes turned the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing, but penalties come and go, and you get good decisions, bad

decisions throughout the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as I just said to the players, I judge the team on their performance and the performance was fantastic,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mariners’ Youth make good start with F3 derby win ohn McLafferty’s reign as Central Coast Mariners Youth boss got off to the best possible start on Sunday, October 21.

First-half goals to Tomislav Cirjak and Adam Kwasnik ensured Mariners Youth triumphed 2-1 over Newcastle Jets Youth in the junior F3 Derby played at the Central Coast Mariners Centre of Excellence. Like the Hyundai A-League clash between the two clubs played the night before, the game was played at a high tempo and it took only a minute for the first chance of the encounter to be fashioned. Newcastle’s Brazilian import Bernardo Ribeiro struck from range, however, his effort was straight at

Mariners custodian Justin Pasfield who dealt with the shot comfortably. In the 17th minute the home team took the lead via a first time finish from Cirjak. A flowing move through midfield found Troy Hearfield wide on the right. Hearfield crossed low across the face of goal, and with his left boot, Cirjak fired a crisp shot beyond Jets’ goalkeeper Jack Duncan. It would take only six minutes for McLafferty’s team to double their advantage. Again, the cross came in from the right side, but this time in the air via the impressive Patrick Dixon. Timing his run to perfection, Kwasnik met the ball with purpose, steering his header neatly past Duncan and into the back of

the net. The Jets came out with intent after the break and took just two minutes to halve the deficit. Midfielder Mitchell Oxborrow netted for the away team to get Clayton Zane’s side on the board. With both teams making wholesale changes throughout the second half the game seemed to lose some of its fluency. Nevertheless, both teams continued to attack and the Jets were awarded a penalty by referee Stephen Lucas with only five minutes to play. Marko Jesic had the opportunity to earn a point for his team, however, Pasfield made a fine double save to deny the former Australian

youth representative. From the penalty, Pasfield dropped low to his right to thwart Jesic, before springing to his feet to block the rebound. Despite a few late raids by the Jets, McLafferty’s boys held on to commence their National Youth League title defence in the best way possible. Following the match, McLafferty said he was happy with the effort from his team but noted there were still areas for the side to improve upon. “Any win is a good win,” he said. “I think there is a long way to go but there is a lot of good ball players out there and we’re happy with the way we went forward but defensively

we still have some room for improvement.” Central Coast Mariners Youth 2 (Cirjak 17’, Kwasnik 23’) Newcastle Jets Youth 1 (Oxborrow 47’) Central Coast Mariners Centre of Excellence Central Coast Mariners Youth: 1.

entral Coast M a r i n e r s National Youth League star Hayden Morton has been included in the Qantas Young Socceroos squad for the upcoming AFC U19 Championship to be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Having recently returned from the Qantas Young Socceroos’ tour of Portugal, Morton was named in Paul Okon’s squad to contest the prestigious competition to be held in the Middle East between November 1 and 17. Selection in Okon’s squad underlines Morton’s continued rise in the green and gold after he was initially called into the team as a replacement player a few months ago. At late notice, Morton joined the Qantas Young Socceroos for a tour of Hong Kong and Vietnam. An elated Morton said he was proud to again be picked to represent Australia. “It’s a great honour to play for Australia,” he said. “It’s a big step up from the Joeys to the Young Socceroos, but hopefully I will keep progressing.” Morton featured in both matches in the recent tour of Portugal, and was particularly prominent in the second friendly where he

played the full 90 minutes. He said the time in camp had helped the players bond before the challenge of the AFC U19 Championships. “Team unity is a big thing and being together in Portugal was great for our team camaraderie,” he said. “My goal now is to make the first 11 for the tournament.” Former Central Coast Mariners midfielder, now of Bundesliga giants, BVB Borussia Dortmund, has also been selected in the squad. Having worked intensely with this group of players for the past five months, Okon

said he was looking forward to the upcoming tournament. “We had a thorough process in selecting this squad with everyone having an opportunity to show themselves through training and match situations,” Okon said. “There is a good mix of local and overseas-based players, and there were plenty of tough decisions that had to be made when settling on the final group. “Our preparation for this tournament has been great with plenty of match practice. “In particular, to be able to use the majority of these

players at the AFC U22 qualifiers in Indonesia in July gave us good competitive matches under tournament conditions which will serve us well once we get to the UAE. “Whilst we know it will be a difficult challenge, I am confident that we have a strong-enough squad to progress from the group stage to the quarter-finals which will then come down to that one important game for us to perform in to qualify for the World Cup.” The Qantas Young Socceroos have been drawn in Group D of the AFC U19 Championship and will play their opening match against Qatar on Sunday, November 4, (kick-off 3pm local, 10pm AEDT), followed by Syria on Tuesday, November 6 (kick-off 7pm local, 2am AEDT) and Saudi Arabia in their final group match on Thursday, November 8, (kick-off 5pm local, 12am AEDT). The top two teams from each group of the AFC U19 Championship 2012 will progress to the knockout stage (quarter-finals) and the four winners of the quarter-finals will then play in the semi-finals with the winners advancing to the final. The semi-finalists will also automatically qualify for the FIFA U20 World Cup which will be held in Turkey in June-July next year.

Junior Roosters’ wrap-up he Woy Woy Junior Roosters held a number of events throughout the year to celebrate its 50 year anniversary.

Woy Woy Junior Roosters’ president Tim McParlane said the events were all well supported. “The 50th reunion in June was a great night with a large crowd in attendance to see the Hall of Fame announced, our Development Day held in July with assistance from ARL Development had over 130 participants not only from Woy Woy but also from neighbouring clubs and some boys and girls who don’t play Rugby League,” said McParlane. “We held the Rite of Passage Night for both our U13 teams and our U14 team. “The night included a presentation on social media and illicit drugs in society with the U13 boys also being presented with club bags on the night. “Both U13 teams and their coaching staff attended a trip to the State of Origin game in Sydney and the Woy Woy Cup again had good representation from local schools, with a fantastic display of footy all day. “Our Building Project of the new barbecue area was also finally completed, our fundraising and social events were both successful and fun for all that attended and our Rooster Round-Ups continue to be enjoyed by all who attend them,” said McParlane. The club had 266 registered players and fielded 19 teams with teams in every age group in the CCDJRL competition, one in the U7s, 14s and 16s and two in each of the U6s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 11s, 12s, 13s and 15s.

Peninsula men’s bowls clubs raise $10,000 by Jan Richens

cheque for $10,000 was presented to Gosford Hospital on Thursday, October 11, by members of men’s bowling clubs on the Peninsula who raised the money from the Peninsula Charity Bowling Days held in June.

Gosford Hospital will use the money to purchase a laparoscopic bulldog clamp used to treat people undergoing surgery to treat kidney cancer. Everglades Men’s Bowling Club, Umina Beach Men’s Bowling Club and Ettalong Memorial Men’s Bowling Club each hosted a charity bowling day to support people in the community with cancer. Woy Woy Men’s Bowling Club were also supporters of each of the charity days,

although did not hold their own event. The event was originally started by Umina Beach Bowling Club in memory of Ron Pursehouse who died of prostate cancer. Clinical nurse educator Mr Tim Wharton said the new equipment would enhance the treatment of people being treated for kidney cancer. “These clamps are used during keyhole surgery on kidneys. “They allow us to remove the diseased part of the kidney rather than having to remove the whole kidney. “It is much less risky for the patient if we are able to save part of their affected kidney. “The overall risk to their renal system is reduced by not having to totally remove one kidney. “We are really grateful to all the members of the bowling clubs for their efforts

in organising these events and for their generosity. “It will really benefit a lot of people being having cancer treatment. “We would like to thank everyone involved in the events for their kindness and support,” said Mr Wharton. Umina Beach Bowling Club bowls coordinator Mr Ian Jarratt said club members from all clubs were dedicated to helping staff at Gosford Hospital to continue to provide the best possible treatment and care to the local community. “Many people in the community are fighting cancer and we know what a difficult time this can be for them and their family and friends. “We hope our donations make things easier for them. “This year’s event was another great success thanks to the hard work and enthusiasm of each of the participating Club’s members and we look forward to another successful event next year,” said Mr Jarratt.

The event spanned over three days from Wednesday, October 3, to Friday, October 5. The format was eight games of 18 ends with three games on the first two days, and two games on the final day and the winner being decided by wins, margins

and percentages. The tough competition was evident as no team went through undefeated, but it was Brett Pritchard’s team of Paul Harper (second) and Garry Macfadyen (lead) that emerged the winner with only one loss (to third placegetter Bill Constantine 17-19) and a margin of 81. The Avoca Classic is one of the biggest bowling tournaments on the Central Coast calendar and offers generous prize money that attracted teams from not only around the Central Coast but also South Tamworth, Batemans Bay

and visiting Fijian World Cup Representatives Ratish Lal (skip), Babu Khan (second) and Shorab Khan (lead) who placed ninth with three losses and a margin of five. A feature over the three days that attracted keen interest from the players and spectators was the progressive scores and positions for each game displayed on a big screen monitor controlled by Bowls Central Coast website manager Geoff Graham using one of his own designed tournament programs.

Avoca hosts bowls seminars

by Doug Rose

voca Beach Bowling Club hosted two Bowls Central Coast (BCC) training seminars on the weekend of October 27 and 28.

The seminars were conducted by international coach Lachlan Tighe who is currently the National Coach of the Canadian team and has coached the UK, NZ, Jersey and the Malaysian Team. He still coaches

Malaysian players Safuan Said and Siti Zalina Ahmad. A seminar was held for Bowls Central Coast coaches on the Saturday and zone representative players and U18s on the Sunday. Lachlan’s enthusiasm and refreshing approach to coaching impressed all who attended. His encouragement of the bowlers, officials and parents to be involved in the training was well received.

Most of the programme centred around learning how to perform under stress and advanced topics like reading the head and playing into difficult bowls placements. The players benefited from the training and at the end of the day particular thanks were given to BCC and NSW chairman of coaches David Cameron for organising Lachlan’s visit to the Central Coast to run the seminars.

Senior cricket team succeeds in Tamworth

Coast struggle in U17 State Carnival

by Aidan Cuddington

by Graham Abbott

entral Coast team battled hard at the NSW U17 High Performance cricket carnival held at Raymond Terrace on the weekend beginning October 26, but ultimately only managed one win in their four games.

The carnival consisted of two 50 over games on October 26 and 27 and then two T20 matches on the 28th. In the first game against a strong Southern Zone team, Central Coast amassed 6-210 in their 50 overs and Southern reached the target seven wickets down with one over to go. On day two, Western prevailed over Central Coast in a closely fought affair. Batting first Western posted 194 thanks largely to a 106 run fourth wicket partnership between captain

Henry Hunt (70) and Jeremy Judge (53). For the Central Coast, Marc Mariner toiled hard taking 3-37 from his 10 overs. The Central Coast were well placed at 3-130 in the quest for victory but lost their last seven wickets for 33 leaving coach Glenn Rowlands speechless. Only number three, Kyle James looked in control as he posted 86 while Lachlan Gale ran out of partners to finish 21 not out. For Western, Dubbo’s Ben Patterson bowled straight to take 4-13 (three bowled, one LBW) while Judge backed up his hand with the bat to take 3-23. In first of the T20 matches, Central Coast 2-105 defeated Newcastle 103. Newcastle’s innings never really ignited and they were bowled out in the 18th over for 103. By comparison, Central

Coast teed off adding 85 before a wicket fell. The target was passed in the 14th over with opener Matt Nicholson (59) backing up his 3-21 with the ball and number three Josh Abel (20) doing the damage. The second game saw North Coast 8-160 defeat Central Coast 9-137. Strong lower order hitting from Roots (42) ensured North Coast posted an imposing total against Central Coast despite Conor O’Bierne taking 4-27 with the ball. Central Coast were in a strong position in reply at 2-81, however, the mounting run-rate required proved too much as seven wickets fell for the addition of only 32 runs. For Central Coast Kyle James (57) and Marc Mariner (27) did best while Craig-Dobson took 3-27 for North Coast

Captain Ives and his Novacastrian counterpart (ex test player) Bob Holland agreed that the two scheduled matches between Central Coast and Newcastle later in the season would carry the prize for the best side north of Sydney.

of letters, the teachers the parents and everyone who has to make this transition work have been ignored. “This State government was elected on a promise to listen to and empower local communities, but this forced relocation over the wishes of the entire community has made a mockery of the Coalition’s promise. “The move, promoted as a way of paying for much needed and overdue upgrades, is a false economy. “As soon as the new school opens, it and the high school will be at capacity. “The Government will ﬁnd itself very soon having to pay for an entire new school, but they appear to only be interested in the current budget. “We will be keeping a close eye on the merged schools and the old waterfront site to see how long it takes for anything to appear there which will beneﬁt the community,” said Ms da Costa.

osford Council has said it will seek legal advice following the ruling from the Federal Court of Australia on Friday, September 21, that investment company Lehman Brothers Australia is liable for millions of dollars lost by Councils via failed investments. Wingecarribee Shire Council, along with City of Swan and Parkes Shire Councils, led the class action case, which involved a total of 72 plaintiffs. Although Gosford Council was not involved in the class action case, Council’s director of corporate services, Mr Nic Pasternatsky said Council

would be following the case closely and would be guided by their own independent legal advice. Wingecarribee Shire Council was seeking to recover approximately $20million in potential losses. The court found that the Council was misled by negligent advice and that the

Australian arm of Lehman Brothers, previously known as Grange Securities, had engaged in deceptive conduct, breach of contract and a breach of its ﬁduciary duties. Newly elected mayor, and Chair of Wingecarribee Council’s Finance Committee, Cr Juliet Arkwright said the decision vindicated the

Council’s decision to instigate legal action against Lehman Brothers in a bid to recoup funds lost in ﬁnancial products known as collaterised debt obligations (CDOs). “This case has been an ongoing process, and we are very pleased with the result. “We can now attempt to recoup funds,” Cr Arkwright said. “However the ruling does not stipulate how much, or indeed when we can expect to see monies returned,” she

said. “And whilst we may never receive all of our funds invested, any money recovered will have an enormous beneﬁt for the community as it will be fed back into Council services and community assets.” Wingecarribee Shire Council has already recovered $8.6 million from CDO investments, and still holds $11.6 million. The Council now awaits a court date in November when Justice Steven Rares will give

ﬁnal orders that will conﬁrm details of the compensation that Lehman Brothers Australia will be liable for. The published reasons for judgment and the summary of the decision are available at www.fedcourt.gov.au.

lanning is well underway for the commencement of major multimillion dollar residential and commercial buildings on the corner of 150 Henry Parry Dr and 7 Watt St which were approved on May 21 this year, following amendments to the proposal initially submitted in 2005. The proposal, which would have a total area of 3,965 square metres, would see the demolition of the existing two storey ﬂats on the site and the construction of a 12 storey building above

four levels of underground parking. The building would consist of 88 residential units comprising 11 one-bedroom units and 77 two-bedroom units, business and ofﬁce

suites totalling an area of 1,467.8 square metres and car parking for 145 cars, 107 of which would be allocated to residents, 18 to visitors and 20 for commercial use. The initial application for

a residential ﬂat building which was granted consent on May 2005, consisted of 105 residential units in eight storeys with two levels of car parking. A further application was then lodged on December 21, 2007. This was assessed against the Gosford City Centre Plan 2005, but had consideration to the provisions of Gosford

City Centre Plan 2007. On August 15, 2008, consent was granted to demolish the existing residential flat building and erect a new building that would contain a supermarket, medical centre, commercial floor space, 101 residential units and 328 car parking spaces in an 11 storey building above five levels of basement car parking.

Gasparotto sisters a standout at NSW Endurance Championships he Central Coast’s best surf sports competitors battled it out for the title as NSW’s number one endurance athlete at the 2012 NSW Endurance Championships, held at Swansea Belmont on Sunday, October 28.

For many, the Endurance Championships was the first event of the season and provided athletes from all over NSW with a personal challenge as well as an opportunity to test their fitness in their chosen discipline against the leading competitors in NSW from U15s to O50s. This year the Championships attracted almost 300 participants and was well supported by the masters competitors as well as some of Australia’s leading ironmen and women including Terrigal’s Jack Moyes, Elyssia Gasparotto and Brady Casey.

“The tough conditions on the weekend were very challenging forcing a couple of changes to the proposed event courses,” said SLSNSW surf sports manager Dan Pearce. “Despite this, the event was very successful with strong entries from across the State and some close finishes even after the longer distances,” he said. The Gasparotto sisters from Terrigal were stand outs on the day with Elyssia taking out the U19 2km Ocean Swim, U19 4km Board Event and the U19 Ironperson while sister Alessandra cleaned up the U17 Ocean Swim and placed second in the Beach Run events. Brady Casey dominated the Open Male Ocean Swim and came a close second in the Open Male Beach Run and third in the Open Male Ironperson. Competitors from Umina, Avoca, North Avoca, Ocean Beach, Shelley Beach and The Lakes Entrance also contested the event. Umina’s Mick Magurren

High voltage electricity to go underground Gosford Council has agreed to allow the installation of underground electricity cables in an existing electricity easement in

Australia Ave, Umina. Under the proposal, the existing overhead 66kV transmission feeder main and a new high voltage 11kV cable would be placed

underground to improve reliability and switching in the network. When installed, the 11kV feeder would be underground from the Umina Zone Substation to the

existing underground development in Australia Ave. The project would also remove about 600 metres of overhead high voltage 11kV mains in the vicinity of McEvoy Ave, Bapaume Ave and Priestman Ave. The site of the easement is a drainage reserve and Council has agreed that the terms of the easement be drafted to allow for any underground works on the eastern side of the existing easement to allow for maximum widening of the drain on the western side should the need arise. According to Gosford Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director corporate services Mr Nic Pasternatsky, the surface drain is currently at its limit in containing peak ďŹ&#x201A;ows and would need widening in the future to contain

additional ďŹ&#x201A;ows and to allow for climate change impacts and possible rock lining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is recommended that the underground cable be laid as close as possible to the outer boundaries of the drainage reserve, which is the eastern side under the access track to allow for maximum widening of the drain on the western side,â&#x20AC;? Mr Pasternatsky stated in the report to Council. Ausgrid has advised that the cable would be laid on the eastern side of Lot 3 within the existing eight metre wide overhead easement which would leave approximately 22 metres from the property on the western side of the drainage reserve to the edge of the existing easement.

Both planning reports had concluded that the development was inappropriate for the area, with town planning principles highlighting that the proposed building and intended scale of usage were out of character for the area designated scenic protection rural (conservation). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councillor approval not only ignored those two recommendations but dictated increased changes of rural streetscape with additional works including major road reconstruction of urban style, the removal of and threatened damage to trees, all compounded by heavier traffic in the area,â&#x20AC;? said Lisarowraid secretary Mr Stanley Crellin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;State planning law does not allow objectors to challenge such planning

decisions on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grounds, despite the community having clearly expressed major concern

that Lisarowraid Inc. commenced class four proceedings, challenging the validity of the consent.

plans of review are uncertain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council is armed with thorough and detailed reports from its officers recommending refusal, and we see no reason for the current councillors

flawed approval. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the councillors are not inclined to act in accordance with their officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recommendations, we urge that they take advantage of this

regarding impacts of the proposal, and reluctance of some then councillors to seriously address the issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Objectors can seek only â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;judicial reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and it was for that reason

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The court, with Council and the developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agreement, accepted that the approval process was deeply flawed and declared the consent to be invalid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this stage Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

to move away from that recommendation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly Council could not feel comfortable, given the history of the application, simply acting to rubber-stamp the

opportunity to fully reconsider the proposal in accordance with council policies and law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This mandates either allowing council officers to determine the application

under full delegation, accepting and acting in accordance with the officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recommendation or, should Council wish to act contrary to recommendation, seeking IDEP (Independent Development and Environment Panel) or external expert review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be recognised that the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;additional worksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that had been proposed were outside the parameters of the original proposal and therefore not accorded full and proper assessment. In seeking that approach, we acknowledge our current Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gracious readiness to accede to the decision of the court, and trust our further negotiations are met with an understanding of a constructive approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a desire to protect environment and amenity for all, Lisarowraid Inc. appeals for continuing involvement and support from all who have seen this proposed development as a threat, not just to the immediate neighbourhood, but one that could easily be replicated in many other valued rural residential areas of our city of Gosford,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Crellin.

home match victory

by Central Coast Mariners media

aniel McBreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classy 70th minute strike ensured the Central Coast Mariners won their ďŹ rst home game of the season 1-0 over Perth Glory at Bluetongue Stadium on Sunday, October 14.

Having come on just seven minutes earlier for hardworking young marksman Mitchell Duke, McBreen ďŹ red past former Marinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; custodian Danny Vukovic to earn the home team a narrow, but ultimately deserved victory. In front of 9,192 fans, the Mariners looked resplendent in all pink kits as they ran out in perfect conditions for football at Gosfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idyllic bayside arena. Their one-off look was to help promote Pink Ribbon Day to be held on Monday, October 22, and seemed to win the support of the home faithful with hundreds of aďŹ cionados arriving at the ground decked out in their own unique pink attire. The opening half of the game was a tussle, with neither side able to craft many clear cut opportunities to open the scoring. Veteran defender Patrick Zwaanswijk had a good chance to open his account for the season and put the Mariners ahead, however, his low drive from a free kick in the 23rd minute was well saved by Vukovic. In the 32nd minute, it

was Glory who were on the attack via another former Mariners favourite Dean Heffernan. Sharp goalkeeping from Mathew Ryan, however, thwarted the Perth raid. Just before the half-time break, impressive defender Trent Sainsbury headed over the cross bar from a Mile Sterjovski free kick. The second stanza was a more entertaining affair, with the pace quickening and both teams looking more likely to break the deadlock. Sterjovski was proving an inďŹ&#x201A;uential ďŹ gure against his former Club as he combined down the right side with Duke on numerous occasions. But in the 68th minute, all nearly went awry for the home team. A lapse in concentration by captain John Hutchinson let in the Glory who powered forward, however, Sainsburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timely intervention halted the Glory counter attack and spared Hutchinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blushes in his 150th Hyundai A-League appearance. Having stopped a goal down one end, Sainsbury proved inďŹ&#x201A;uential in McBreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner just two minutes later. The Western Australian born youngster ďŹ red a pinpoint pass to the former Falkirk and York City man, who controlled with his left foot before ďŹ ring home with his right. McBreen lapped up his ďŹ ne ďŹ nish, celebrating in style as he pumped his

chest and ran to rejoice with the fans in Bluetongueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western grandstand. Despite a few late half chances, McBreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal proved to be all the home team needed to ensure they claimed their ďŹ rst win of the 2012-13 Hyundai A-League campaign. Post-match, Marinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boss Graham Arnold said he was pleased that his team showed improvement from their round one draw against A-League new boys Western Sydney Wanderers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last week was probably a ďŹ ve and today was about a

six [out of 10],â&#x20AC;? Arnold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can do much better and we have to do much better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The standard of the A-League is going up and we need to go up with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want us to be in form in October, we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We build into the season and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ďŹ t and we grind out results and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re strong defensively.â&#x20AC;? Arnold also shared his delight with the performance of 20 year old defender Sainsbury.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people were worried and concerned when we lost Alex Wilkinson but I have a lot of faith in Australian youngsters and Trent Sainsbury who has been with us for two years has had to sit back and be patient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has learnt the ropes off â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wilkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Wilkinson) and Patrick (Zwaanswijk) and I thought today he was superb,â&#x20AC;? he said. Arnold said he believed the Mariners would have to lift again against northern foes Newcastle Jets on Saturday, October 20, when

the two teams meet in an F3 Derby at Hunter Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have to go up another couple of levels because I thought Newcastle were very good against Sydney in a wonderful spectacle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a work in progress and we will only get better,â&#x20AC;? said Arnold.
