LEP Review Committee seeking members Kiama’s Local Environment Plan (LEP), adopted in 2011 after an extended period of investigation and consultation, is to be reviewed. An LEP is a legal instrument imposing standards to guide and control development within a local government area - such things as land use zones, minimum block sizes, heritage protection and more - so that they reflect each community’s expectations. The Review of the LEP is not to be a full rewrite of the document but rather address anomalies that have been discovered since the Plan was adopted. It was described at the May Council meeting as a tweaking. But it was a tweaking that
five councillors wanted to be involved with. They all nominated for the three positions on the Committee, with Councillors Mark Honey, Dennis Seage and Andrew Sloan being elected to the roles. Councillors Rice and McClure were unsuccessful. The councillors are all keen for the Review Committee to report within this Council’s term, rather than have the matter drag out, with a deadline of August 2016 being decided on. Applications are now being sort from suitably qualified residents to join the Committee. Apart from the three councillors, one of whom will be chair, there are positions for

one community representative each from North Kiama/ Minnamurra, Gerringong/ Gerroa, Kiama and Jamberoo, as well as a representative of rural landholders. The Health & Sustainablity Committee, Economic Development Committee and the Development Industry Committee will all be asked to nominate a repre-
sentative. In addition, Council’s General Manager, Director of Environmental Services and Manager of Stategic Planning will be on the Committee. The Committee’s purpose is to provide a forum for communication between Council, the community and relevant sectors in the appraisal and review process.
Details: Expressions of interest should clearly marked LEP Review Committee and be lodged by Thurs 4 June. They may be emailed to council@kiama.nsw.gov.au, posted to PO Box 731, Kiama or delivered to Council’s Chambers. Further information available on Council’s website.

Preparing to bid arrivederci Local identities Elise Pascoe and her husband John Kelly have decided to leave their dream home in Kiama to move closer to the support of family in Melbourne. The pair fell in love with Jamberoo on the June long weekend in 1999, and soon bought a property on Clover Hill where they established the hugely successful Elise Pascoe International Cooking School. They soon became heavily involved in the community, particularly the Kiama Show Society and its offshoot, the Kiama Wine Show. One of Australia’s leading food writers and cooks, Elise has been a mentor for many local food industry participants and initiatives, including accepting a role as a ‘talking cookbook’ for the fledgling Kiama Farmers’ Market to encourage people to use local produce. After selling the cooking school property in 2007, they spent a year on sabbatical in Italy - a country they both love. It was this year that inspired the house they built in Seaview St, Kiama, on their return.
“We were so enamoured with the Italian way of doing things that we came back determined to recreate the best that we’d seen while there,” says Elise. No expense was spared on the property. All of the shuttered windows and doors were made to order in Italy and imported here, as were the door handles and fittings. The light fittings are mostly Italian too, and of course the kitchen and butler’s pantry are a chef’s dream. The gardens too reflect Italy, with the front yard full of fruit trees and a walled Roman courtyard out the back. “We know we were extravagant, but we were building for the rest of our lives,” she says. “It was built around the Italian principle of Viviere Bene - Live Well.” Unfortunately John’s stroke 15 months ago means they will have to reluctantly move on to a different stage in their lives, as Elise’s two sons live in Melbourne. The property will soon be on open for expressions of interest, through Ray White Kiama.

Keeping the KHS Band on track Following the success of last year's inaugural Rock Quiz music trivia night, fans of Kiama High's Band are busy preparing to do it again. Money raised will be used to help fund the school's Instrumental Music Program including new musical instruments, repairs and maintenance of existing instruments, new music books and help to subsidise band tours. The KHS Band has been developing young musicians for over 20 years. Students from Years 7-12 participate in the band programs and dedicate their lunchtimes a number of times a week to prepare for performances. The Band performs at local events such as the Kiama Jazz and Blues Festival, community or school functions, local charity events, nursing homes and local primary schools, as well as an annual tour. "The tours help to promote Kiama to a broader community as well as providing a wonderful cultural and musical experience for all involved," says Claire Stevens, one of the parents organising the event. The most recent tour was to Tasmania, with destinations in past years including Canberra, northern NSW, Melbourne and New Zealand. As usual with these fundraising nights, there’ll be raffles, a silent auction and games, as well as music from the Band and drinks at club prices. Details: Fri 29 May, 7pm Kiama Bowling Club, $20 ticket inc nibbles and prizes. If you can't round up a table of 10, come along anyway and you'll be made welcome.

Rules set for trainers in Kiama The May Council meeting has adopted the recommended policy on the use of public reserves by fitness trainers (as outlined in our last edition). The final policy includes a number of amendments, after taking into accounts submissions made by the public during the exhibition period. In particular: ♦ the reserve around Kiama Downs SLSC has been added as a location ♦ Operating hours have increased by an hour to 7pm during winter and by half an hour to 8.30pm during daylight saving ♦ Class sizes have been increased to 30 at South Werri Reserve, Chittick Oval and Coronation Park ♦ Permitted distances from
houses, playgrounds, beaches etc have been clarified, as well as the descriptions of prohibited activities (see box) ♦ Flexibility has been added to the fee structure, so payments for class size can vary with the seasons, and trainers can pay their fees quarterly rather than annually. An Expression of Interest process is to take place so commercial fitness trainers/ personal trainers can obtain a permit to operate. Individual permits will last for two years . New trainers wanting to establish themselves during the two year interval before the next EOI will have to fit in with what reserves are remaining for use.
Banned activities ♦ Using public infrastructure ♦ Training on sand dune stabilisation area ♦ Using ocean pools ♦ Using aggressive or intimidating training methods ♦ Using amplified music and voice ♦ Use of more than one advertising sign ♦ Using rope, stakes and vehicle tyres ♦ Attacting any equipment to vegetation ♦ Having exclusive use of outdoor fitness equipment ♦ Using stairways or paths for static or repeated training routines.
Tributes to Kiama’s Hollywood legend The Australian Centre for Moving Image (ACMI) is to pay tribute to Kiama's own Orry-Kelly with an exhibition devoted entirely to his work. Orry-Kelly: Dressing Hollywood will look at his life and incredible creative output. He designed costumes for 285 movies, including Casablanca and Some Like It Hot, and won three Oscars. There will be some of the designer's actual costumes that made movie history on display, thanks to the generosity of prestigious archives and private collections. The movie about his life, Women He's Undressed, is being premiered at the Sydney Film Festival in the cinema of the Sun Princess on June 10. Details: ACMI, Melbourne, 18 Aug to 17 Jan

Annual reminder to check out your eyes Macular degeneration, Australia’s leading cause of severe vision loss and blindness, affects more than 1.15 million Australians over 50, and without appropriate prevention and treatment measures, this number is set to increase to 1.7 million by 2030, given the rapidly ageing population. Kiama optometrists Dr Susan Ang and Dr Margaret Zhong, of EyeStore, say that research shows that one in four people over 50 are still not heeding the call to have their eyes tested and macula checked despite 85% being aware of macular degeneration. Susan and Margaret are supporting Macular Disease Foundation Australia in urging people at risk to see their local optometrist and take control of their eye health this Macular Degeneration Awareness Week (24-30 May). Risk factors for macular degeneration include being over the age of fifty, a direct family history and smoking. The very early signs of macular degeneration can now be identified easily by modern technology which enables the optometrist to see the retina at the back of the eye, Signs to look for where the disease develops, The symptoms of macular and detect early signs of the degeneration may include the following (the 4 Ds): disease.

Postcard home When Phil and I arrived in the Languedoc region of France for a holiday in June 2013, we hadn't planned on buying a house. But then we stumbled across a beautiful village house that stole our hearts, and life as we knew it changed forever. This was where we were going to spend every Australian winter for the next 10 years at least. Last year we spent our first six blissful months in our new home, timing our daytime activities by the chiming bells of the church opposite. What we fondly named Chez ‘Roo was fully and lovingly restored from derelict in 2002 by an Englishwoman who made Belpech her home. Such is the charm of the village, she has puchased again nearby. Belpech is a typical French village. Built around a 12th century church and village square, we found the village to have everything one could need: two bakery/ patisseries, an excellent butcher who stocks all sorts of delights other than meat and cooks chickens on rotisserie out the front of
his store on Sundays, a small supermarket, a café, a chemist and doctor’s surgery - and no ex-pat community. The villagers, who are friendly and welcoming, refer to Chez ‘Roo as the Grande Maison as it occupies the largest parcel of land in the village centre. Inside its walled garden are the remains of a previous residence. The garden is a haven in the centre of town with fragrant herbs, roses, raspberries, apples and a fruiting grapevine. Central to Foix, Mirepoix, Pamiers, Carcassonne (Ryan Air), Toulouse and Limoux, one could explore for years and not see all there is to offer. Sadly, things don’t always go as planned and we are not able to return this winter. So if you are like-minded people who would enjoy renting a large village house at a reduced rate in return for taking care of the house and garden, get in touch.
