Council is ‘more bureaucratic and less attentive’ The new Central Coast Council was more bureaucratic and less attentive to the distinctive needs of Wagstaffe and Killcare area than the former Gosford Council.

That is the view of WagstaffeKillcare Community Association outgoing president Ms Peta Colebatch, who is worried local needs will be swamped. The association has to be active in identifying and asserting its local needs, she said. These needs include development controls issues and discussions with council continue on a range of matters. “Meetings and letters have produced little response to the longterm challenges facing residents in Hawke Head Dr and Albert St, who do not receive garbage services. “To date, the Council has failed to require the contracted service to provide a small garbage truck that can service these areas, and again, this will continue to be pursued. “This is a matter of Council policy which should be simple, but Council seems impervious to community needs. “Similarly we continue to have ongoing battles in our attempts to retain our local low key, friendly, bush and beach aware community standards when developments occur. “With growing developments and the building on previously unbuilt blocks, it is inevitable that tree cover (and hence bird and animal habitats) are reduced. “While some of this is inevitable, it appears that many people who are attracted to this area may not be aware of the community standards, and new houses may reflect a more suburban than the past low scale approach. “Moreover, the amalgamated council staff may reflect the more liberal approaches of the former Wyong Council and height and boundary changes may result. “The council is preparing new combined approaches to the very large council area it now oversees. “The association remains concerned that our local needs will be swamped in this rush to centralisation and uniformity of planning approaches. “We have proposed that the

character statements be retained, and that a separate chapter with our planning requirements be used for clarity, similar to the one used in the past by Gosford for Pearl Beach. “Similar concerns are felt with regard to the destruction of trees and having clarity of approach so that large trees are not removed without a qualified assessment of whether they pose any risk.” Ms Colebatch said these issues needed to be pursued with vigour by the incoming committee. She said the committee had continued its liaison with other groups supporting improvements to the Hardy’s Bay waterfront and she was optimistic that some progress would actually be made this year. “However, concerns remain with the overall planning system. “Submissions were made on the proposed Local Environment Plan. “The former Coastal Open Space lands still need to be protected and large tree destruction remains rampant.” She said progress on some projects remained slow and frustrating. Endless negotiations continued with National Parks to try to upgrade the Half Tide Rocks Track as the association had funds available. But the department remained unresponsive and the association was now trying approaches to politicians but meanwhile the informal track continued to degrade. “Similarly, we have had bureaucratic frustrations with the amalgamated council and our previously approved Turo Park extension upgrades, as following an initial positive response to our requests, progress has stalled,” Ms Colebatch said. “However, discussions continue with council officers on the need for sandstone multi-purpose blocks, infill and prevention of flooding, the footbridge over Turo creek, and sculptures. “This will be pursued in the coming year, and we hope that we will be successful in having some carved sculptures there, and elsewhere, so that we can end up with our own sculpture walk.”

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Ranger Ms Rachel Labador and Environment Minister Mr Matt Keane placing a burrow on Lion Island

Concrete burrows installed for penguin colony

New concrete burrows have been installed on Lion Island for its Little Penguin colony. The colony came under threat when a bushfire sparked by a freak lightning strike last August destroyed over 80 per cent of the Little Penguins’ habitat. Lion Island is just one of four locations in NSW where Little Penguins congregate to mate and nest. Prior to the fire, Lion Island was considered one of the safer colonies as its primary threats human interference and predators such as foxes, feral cats and dogs and goannas - were scarcely present on the island. Due to the destruction of prime nesting sites serious concerns were held for the future of the colony. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service have worked with the NSW Local Land Services and volunteer landcare groups to undertake habitat restoration at the island and recently installed 20 handmade concrete nesting

burrows. Wildlife service ranger Ms Rachel Labador, who has been monitoring Lion Island since the fire, coordinated the installation of the burrows at key sites across the island on May 30. According to Ms Labador, the burrows were “cutting edge” when it comes to penguin protection and were far superior to previous wood and plastic artificial burrows used at other colonies, providing more comprehensive protection from the elements and potential predators. Ms Labador said the timing for the installation could not have been better, with the burrows placed just in time for the colony’s first return to the island since the fire. The Little Penguin breeding season runs from June to August and it is hoped that the new burrows will ensure the season is a success despite parts of the colony’s habitat still being fire damaged. “The penguins are currently ‘prospecting’, returning to the island to find a place to burrow,

mate and lay their eggs,” she said. “It’s our hope that over the coming months we’ll return to find the burrows occupied and some birds on eggs,” Ms Labador said. NSW Environment Minister Mr Matt Kean said the burrow program was part of a push to protect the Little Penguins’ future. “We’re installing these nests to protect penguins, enable them to nest and hopefully grow the population,” he said. The burrows were designed by the Wildlife Service and constructed by Women’s Shed group, the Fix-It Sisters. Should the new burrows be successfully integrated into the colony, there is potential for the design to be rolled out at colonies across the state and possibly the country.

Transport NSW and John Holland representatives accused of aggressive bullying tactics K

angy Angy Residents Action Group (KARAG) members claim that they have been shut out of transparent and meaningful communication by Transport NSW and the contractor, John Holland, at the Intercity Rail Maintenance Facility in Orchard Rd.

“It’s more or less a stalemate,” said group member, Susan Zgraja. “Their idea of community liaison is that they will inform us of what they want us to know and when, and they don’t want to hear our comments, questions or feedback,” she said. Susan said they have “flatly refused” a group meeting, so a meeting was scheduled between another member, Tracey Stewart, and Paul Galea who is Communications and Stakeholder Manager of the rail facility’s contractor, John Holland. Susan said she accompanied Tracey to the meeting and unexpectedly there was also a representative of Transport NSW, who objected to Susan being there because she was not invited and told her

0.58ha of vegetation and habitat for 13 identified animals. “Clearance of the extra land is not considered by Transport NSW to have a significant impact on threatened biodiversity, and the OEH proposes to allow the clearance of the additional 0.58ha,” the report said. Director of Environment and Planning, Scott Cox, said a submission would be lodged on a point of clarification only at this stage and a review of the matter was ongoing. Susan said Transport NSW was also dodging the issue of installing a noise wall surrounding the site. “It was part of the original plan but they keep coming up with the same reason all the time that they haven’t completed the design, but I think it is because of the cost. “This is a heavy industry operating 24/7 we’re talking about, in a quiet rural area, and they haven’t solved the noise problem. “A lot of complaints have been because of the intrusion of noise, vibration, loss of privacy and the clearing of the land.

Robertson is classed as a bellweather seat. It has gone to the winning party at every election since the early 1970s.

The Liberals have promised spending of an extra $37b on Government, Catholic and independent schools over the next decade, signalling big funding increases for schools in the Robertson electorate. Young people looking to move from school to the workplace will also benefit from the siting in Robertson of one of 10 training hubs to be provided under a $50.6m industry training program.

Conroy and McBride returned to Parliament but with a reduced margin

ts business as usual on the northern part of the Central Coast with both Labor MPs being returned after the Federal election on Saturday May 18, although both Shortland and Dobell showed sizeable swings away from the Australian Labor Party. Shortland has always been a Labor seat and the sitting MP, Pat Conroy, went into the election with a solid 9.9 percent margin, yet, counting so far is showing a huge 5.8 percent swing away from Labor and a downturn in almost every polling booth in the electorate. “It’s fair to say that the people of Shortland did not like the Labor policy agenda and sent a very strong message that this is not what they want”, Conroy said. “I am humbled and grateful for the trust to be re-elected but only a fool would ignore the message from the electorate. “I think they (voters) reacted to a dishonest scare campaign about the franking credits and the working middle class people felt that Labor had abandoned them.” Conroy said voting trends also showed that there was “enormous dissatisfaction of what was going on in Canberra” because of upward voting trends to minor parties and independents.

No stopping Emma McBride and Pat Conroy “I will be getting around to community groups and individuals to make it clear to people that Labor has heard and accepts that they didn’t like our policy agenda and I will be working hard to build their trust again,” he said. Conroy said he expected to emerge from final counting with a four percent margin. With 81 percent of the vote counted, and on a two party preferred basis, Conroy had 54 percent of the vote with 47,031 and

the Liberal candidate, Nell McGill, held 45 percent of the vote with 39,842. First preference counts at the time of publication were: Susan Newbury, Sustainable Australia, 3.02 percent of the vote on 2,628; Xing Yu, Christian Democatic Party (Fred Nile Group), 1.99 percent on 1,731; Pat Conroy, Australian Labor Party, 41.23 percent on 35,821; Dani Rifai, United Australia Party, 4.44 percent on 3,869; Wylie Campbell, The Greens, 7.92 percent

on 6,885; Bryan McGrath, Animal Justice Party, 3.52 percent on 3,056; and, Nell McGill, Liberal Party, 37.87 percent on 32,909. For the second time, Emma McBride has won the seat of Dobell but her margin has narrowed with a 3.17 percent swing away from Labor. McBride said she was “grateful” to be reelected and there would be a lot of analysis of what happened with the swing away from Labor. “As soon as I can,

I’m going out into the community to listen and hear, and work towards what matters most to them,” she said. “The two main issues people come to me for is aged care and the NDIS, and I’ll be working to make sure that the people get what they need,” she said. McBride said her next three-year term will also have a strong focus on unemployment, education and schools. She congratulated

other re-elected Central Coast Federal MPs, Pat Conroy (Shortland) and Lucy Wicks (Robertson) and extended “best wishes to the Coalition on being returned to government”. “Thank you to everyone who put their confidence in me to serve our community and to all the volunteers and supporters who care about our community,” McBride said. With almost 82 percent of the vote counted and on a two-party preferred basis, McBride was leading with 51.64 percent of the vote on 46,682 and Liberal candidate, Jilly Pillon, had 48.36 percent of the vote with 43,719. Votes were still being counted as this newspaper went to publication and the latest first preference figures were: Aaron Harpley-Carr, United Australia Party, 5.20 percent of the vote on 4,700; Paula Grundy, Christian Democratic Party (Fred Nile Group), 1.78 percent on 1,611; Jilly Pilon, Liberal, 40.96 percent on 37,032; Scott Rickard, The Greens, 7.04 percent on 6,368; Emma McBride, Australian Labor Party, 41.96 percent on 37,926; and, Gregory Stephenson, Independent, 3.06 percent on 2,762.

Nursing home receives visit from alpaca A Woy Woy aged care provider has hosted a visit from an alpaca after the granddaughter of a resident asked to show her pet to her grandmother. Ms Shandelle Palmer said she decided to drop in to Blue Wave Living to visit her grandmother with her alpaca, Strudel, on April 29. “Nan has heard so much about Strudel but she’s never had the chance to meet him and I felt it was time to change that,” she said. Ms Palmer said, after some initial hesitation, staff allowed her to take Strudel into her grandmother’s room for their first meeting. “It was really touching. “Nan is a big knitter and she’s always talked about Strudel and his coat and how she’d like to meet him so I’m glad we were allowed in,” Ms Palmer said. According to Ms Palmer, after witnessing her grandmother’s response to Strudel and the alpaca’s excellent behavior, staff asked Ms Palmer if she’d be comfortable taking Strudel to visit other residents’ rooms. Ms Palmer said their room visit quickly turned into a tour of the facility including BlueWave’s dementia ward. “They say music and animals always have a profound effect on people living with dementia and I

got to see that firsthand,” Ms Palmer said. After the successful visit, Ms Palmer said she was now considering whether Strudel had a future as a therapy animal. “It’s definitely something I’m interested in pursuing. “I’d taken Strudel to a local playgroup back in Cessnock prior to the visit but this was the first time we’ve ever gone to an aged care facility but the impact was huge. “The residents just lit up. “It was great to see,” she said. During her visit to the Peninsula, Ms Palmer also took Strudel on a trip to Ettalong Beach. “It was a weekend of firsts for Strudel: his first visit to an aged care facility and his first ever trip to the beach. “He absolutely loved it and so many residents stopped us to say hello and to take a photo,” Ms Palmer said. Ms Palmer said Strudel could be returning to the Peninsula. “My mum lives in the area and nan’s at BlueWave so it’s definitely possible, but my first consideration has to be Strudel’s wellbeing,” she said.

grievances with three councillors and the mayor at an-site visit in the days before the council meeting. Cr Holstein said the issues had been addressed in the conditions of consent and that consolidated development had a lot of potential. He thanked Mr Harvey McDougall of Save Our Woy Woy, saying the development was better for the input from the residents and that their comments at the meeting on site had been sensible and rational. Cr Mehrtens said it was the third iteration of the proposal.

He said he knew there were variations to council guidelines but they had been minimised. The residents complained about overshadowing from the three-storey development that included 27 units and seven townhouses to be built over five blocks consolidated along Blackwall Rd and Farnell Rd. The development exceeds guidelines for height, floor space ratio and setbacks. Some units and one communal area fail to get the minimum required solar access.

Residents complained about garbage, parking, light pollution, loss of privacy and infrastructure issues such as stormwater and drainage. Another development, this time a new house at 64 Fishermans Parade, Daleys Point, also received council approval at the same meeting. It too had been deferred for a site inspection. It went through with a unanimous vote. SOURCE Central Coast Council agenda 2.1, 13 May 2019

Wicks said it was a “tremendous honour” to be returned, and an endorsement of the Federal Government’s plan for the Central Coast and what it has delivered over the past six years. Wicks first took the seat in 2013, being re-elected in 2016 by a slim margin of 1.1 per cent. She increased that margin to more than 4 per cent at the 2019 election. “It did feel very positive over those three weeks on prepoll, and while the polls were pointing to a, Bill Shorten, and Labor win, that’s not what I was hearing at Woy Woy, Gosford or Kincumber,” she said. “The feedback I was getting was that there was real concern about what a, Bill Shorten, Labor-led government would look like. “It was a tough campaign, one of the hardest I have fought, with Labor and the unions throwing everything at us, but it really was a seat we had to win vote by vote, person by person. “Our focus remained strong. “People said they were pleased to see projects finally being delivered. “When we say we are going to do something we do it. “I always knew it was going to be a close race, but having known, Scott Morrison, for 20 years, I know his leadership capabilities, his determination

At the time of going to press, latest first preference figures for Robertson, with 89.11% of the vote counted, were: Lucy Wicks (Lib) 47.14% (43,355); Anne Charlton (Lab) 34.21% (31,461); Cath Connor (Greens) 7.68% (7,066); David Abrahams (Ind) 3.03% (2,785); Robert Marks (United Australia) 2.76% (2,539); Sean Bremner-Young (Animal Justice) 2.04% (1,872); Judy Singer (Sustainable Australia) 1.74% (1,601); and, Fiona Stucken (Christian Democrats ) 1.40% (1,284). In two party preferred: Lucy Wicks (Lib) 51.14% (50,130); Anne Charlton (Lab) 48.86% (41,833). Robertson remains a bellwether seat, having gone to the winning party at every

election since the early 1970s. At Dobell, Emma McBride, who took the seat in 2016 from Liberal, Karen McNamara, was re-elected despite a 3.17 per cent swing away from Labor, following a spirited campaign battle against Liberal candidate, Jilly Pilon. While she was “grateful to be re-elected”, McBride said there would be an analysis of what caused the swing against Labor, but in the meantime, it would be back to business. “I’m going out into the community to listen and hear, and work towards what matters most to them,” McBride said. “The two main issues people come to me for are aged care and the NIDIS, and I’ll be working to make sure that the people get what they need.” McBride said her next term would also have a strong focus on unemployment, education and schools. “Thank you to everyone who put their confidence in me to serve our community, and to all the volunteers and

Long awaited final vision of Warnervale Town Centre unveiled

The new Central Coast Council was more bureaucratic and less attentive to the distinctive needs of Wagstaffe and Killcare area than the former Gosford Council.

New concrete burrows have been installed on Lion Island for its Little Penguin colony.

The vision for a thoroughly modern community hub at Woongarrah

fter years in the planning, the final vision for Warnervale Town Centre has been unveiled, and the concept has come together to create a self-contained community hub of affordable housing, parklands, retail, commercial and community facilities. It’s the vision of developers, Lirun Developments Pty Ltd, and Sales Agent, Dan Ahearn, says this “exciting and innovative”

development, Hilltop Park, at Sparks Rd, Woongarrah, will come together over 10 stages. “There will be both premium and affordable residential housing sites, as well as modern central retail and community facilities, to create the most exciting community hub the Central Coast has seen for decades,” he said. “At the centre of this master precinct development, will be a retail and commercial area with a proposed supermarket, long-term day care centre, child play centre, medical centre

and pharmacy, and other shops and professional offices. “A family tavern at the top of the hill is also planned with an extensive beer garden where patrons can sit in the sunshine with their family enjoying meals and drinks while soaking in the expansive views of the mountains to the west and south, and the lakes and ocean to the east. Ahearn said adjacent the shopping and commercial precinct and family tavern, would be the 5.2 ha Hilltop Parklands.

“This huge open space area will include a cycling track, a separate walking/ jogging track, playing fields, proposed netball courts, multiple barbecue facilities and recreational facilities, together with a viewing platform to take in the views of the entire region,” Ahearn said. “The focus of both the developer and Central Coast Council is to provide a high-end quality recreational parklands amenity for families and the broader community. “It is also proposed to have an area within the park celebrating the heritage and culture of

the traditional owners of the land.” Ahearn said that stages one to four are approved and already developed and comprise 140 residential blocks of land. “About 60 percent of stage 1 has been sold, stage 2 will be released to the market in about a month, and then stages 3 and 4. “Many of the lots are designed specifically to accommodate affordable housing lots so as to ensure that the opportunity to live within Hilltop Park is available to everyone.”

Central Coast Council has approved Stage 5, the commercial and retail sector, and ground works are expected to start by the end of the year. The parklands will be developed after the release of Stage 6 housing. Future land releases for housing are yet to be approved but will be “straight forward development applications,” Ahearn said.

The colony came under threat when a bushfire sparked by a freak lightning strike last August destroyed over 80 per cent of the Little Penguins’ habitat. Lion Island is just one of four locations in NSW where Little Penguins congregate to mate and nest. Prior to the fire, Lion Island was considered one of the safer colonies as its primary threats human interference and predators such as foxes, feral cats and dogs and goannas - were scarcely present on the island. Due to the destruction of prime nesting sites serious concerns were held for the future of the colony. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service have worked with the NSW Local Land Services and volunteer landcare groups to undertake habitat restoration at the island and recently installed 20 handmade concrete nesting

mate and lay their eggs,” she said. “It’s our hope that over the coming months we’ll return to find the burrows occupied and some birds on eggs,” Ms Labador said. NSW Environment Minister Mr Matt Kean said the burrow program was part of a push to protect the Little Penguins’ future. “We’re installing these nests to protect penguins, enable them to nest and hopefully grow the population,” he said. The burrows were designed by the Wildlife Service and constructed by Women’s Shed group, the Fix-It Sisters. Should the new burrows be successfully integrated into the colony, there is potential for the design to be rolled out at colonies across the state and potentially the country.

Fuel tanks to be replaced to remediate contamination An application has been submitted to Central Coast Council to replace fuel storage tanks, fuel dispensers and the associated canopy at a Blackwall service station. The work would be designed to remediate groundwater contamination at the Caltex service station in Memorial Ave, near the Warrigal St corner. The site has been regulated under the Contaminated Land Management Act since 2005. The proposal is the result of negotiations with Environment Protection Authority for a new voluntary management plan to remove all fuel tanks on the site of the service station, the authority has confirmed. The plan would include excavation of impacted soils. The development application, submitted by KDC Pty Ltd of Newcastle West on behalf of Caltex Australia, states the alterations and additions would be “generally in line with existing development”. Once approved, the voluntary management plan would be available on the contaminated land public record on the Authority’s

website. The website shows that, in 2010, a voluntary management approval was issued by the authority to undertake monitoring and remediation works after the soil or water was found to be contaminated with dissolved phase petroleum hydrocarbons and benzene. Another approval was signed in 2011 and completed in 2015. A third voluntary management proposal was approved in September 2015 and it was valid until the 31 July 2017. The contaminants listed in that proposal included recoverable hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, ethybenzene and xylenes as well as non-aqueous phase liquid. The principle features of the 2015 plan included capital works as well as the remediation and monitoring. The council has yet to complete the planning assessment of the proposal.

Village resident celebrates 100th birthday A Umina retirement village resident Mr Gordon Briggs has celebrated his 100th birthday on May 27. He is the latest resident of Peninsula Village to reach the milestone, joining five others to have lived more than 100 years: Ms Biddy Abrahams, 102, Ms Frances Dawson and Ms Norma Petersen, 101, and Ms Joy Lewis and Ms Phyllis Hill. Peninsula Village chief executive Mr Shane Neaves said Mr Briggs has lived an extraordinary life, raising a family,

travelling, playing cricket and rugby union, buying and selling several properties and thoroughly enjoying fishing and boating while living on Mosman Harbour. He also had a great career as a chartered accountant and eventually worked his way up to be a member of a board of directors. While accountants now are able to rely on computers, Mr Briggs said: “I had to do it all in my head.” Mr Neaves said Mr Brigg’s favourite things included watching the stock market and enjoying the activities at the village that keep

his mind active. He said that it was nice to see a male join the club. “The club has grown quickly this year and Gordon is a welcomed addition to the group,” he said. “People are moving into aged care at a much later age and therefore we are seeing many more residents reach the big milestone of 100 than we used to 15 or 20 years ago,” Mr Neaves said.

Tesch to continue to campaign for palliative care Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch has promised to continue to campaign for palliative care. Federal Labor promised $20 million for a standalone palliative care unit in Woy Woy if elected at the recent election. Ms Tesch said the promise was met with tremendous support from the local community. “I’m calling on re-elected Member for Robertson Ms Lucy

Wicks to secure the same funding for this vital project,” Ms Tesch said. “I’m also calling on State Member for Terrigal Mr Adam Crouch and the NSW Government to provide funding and staffing commitments for the centre.” Ms Tesch has spoken in Parliament about the need for palliative care on the Central Coast highlighting the work of Elsie’s Retreat.

Ms Tesch is continuing to collect signatures in support of the project at her office in Woy Woy. “As the population of the Central Coast continues to grow and age, so does our need for this project. “I promise to continue working closely with Elsie’s Retreat and the Lions Club of Wyoming- East Gosford to keep the flame of this campaign burning bright.” SOURCE Media Release, 6 June 2019 Liesl Tesch, Member for Gosford

Community Environment Network HAPPY WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

Chair’s Report At our recent AGM on Sunday 2nd June John Asquith stepped down as Chair of CEN after 19 years in the position. John will stay on the committee as Deputy Chair to continue to support CEN and our new chair. We thank John for his amazing contribution to CEN and protecting the environment over the past 20 years. INTRODUCING CEN’S NEW CHAIR – HALE ADASAL I have lived on the Central Coast for nearly 20 years moving up from Sydney’s green northern suburbs. As an active bushwalker, scuba diver and ocean swimmer, I would visit the Central Coast often. I fell in love with the natural environment and coastline of endless beaches. My, educational background is in social anthropology, having worked in industries ranging from education, communications, banking and finance to community development organisations in the social and environmental justice sectors. In 2018, I graduated from my Master’s in Social Change and Community Development from UON (Ourimbah Campus) looking at how the Central Coast is moving from the globalised economy that excludes locals in decision making and access to resources to a localised economy that is socially more inclusive (local businesses) and environmentally more sustainable- as decisions are made locally. My passion and vision are to work together with our CEN staff and committee/members to develop programs and events starting with a CEN youth network where we reconnect a wider cross section of our community with our natural environment for our own health and wellbeing and that of all wildlife as is their right to exist with which we share this beautiful region.

If you attended our CEN annual forum on Sunday 2 June you would have seen and heard about the wonderful work our local community groups who are already acting locally and thinking globally in protecting our natural environment and the wildlife with whom we share this beautiful world for generations to come. Our forum showcased the multiple pathways in which members of our community can become involved with local groups, from tree planting, renewable energy workshops, to localised food networks and plantbased alternatives helping to reduce our impact on our

environment and developing well connected members of our community. You would have heard of our CEN programs that cater for all age groups and interests in connecting our community members with your passions. From our citizen scientists Waterwatch program, Land for Wildlife and Bush Regeneration teams to our Marine Discovery Centre and Wildwatch programs and activities and events, that engage younger members of our community, connecting them with our natural environment. For more ways you can become involved and stay connected with your community, matching your passions with our CEN programs/ projects and events, please visit our website: www.cen.org.au Chair Ms Hale Adasal

Three receive Queens Birthday honours An ophthalmologist who was a visiting medical officer at a local hospital is one of five Central Coast residents who was honored in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, announced on the weekend. Dr Michael Scobie, now retired and living at Avoca, praised the Brisbane Water Private Hospital this week, explaining how it helped support his work caring for people with eye issues in New Guinea. For two weeks a year for 17 years, Dr Scobie and a team from the Central Coast would volunteer their expertise to people in remote towns and villages in New Guinea, performing eye operations, mainly cataract surgery, in all sorts of unusual circumstances – “where we could find a spot to work, basically,’’ Dr Scobie said. “The people who came with me deserve the praise too,’’ he said. Dr Scobie was awarded the Order of Australia for service to ophthalmology and to the community. Ms Brenda Booth from Woy Woy was awarded an Order of Australia for her service to community health. She is president of the Working Age Group Stroke, commonly referred to as WAGS and was a member of the National Stroke Foundation until 2016.Ms Booth was a registered nurse and working as a case manager with

Peta Colebatch steps down after eight years Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association president Ms Peta Colebatch has stepped down after eight years to encourage new and younger people to step forward and to bring in fresh perspectives. Ms Colebatch said the absence of the ferry service and the need for dredging was one of the longrunning issues of 2018. “Following much lobbying, in which we played a part as I moved the initial motion requiring all sides of council to come together to realise that action and funding was required, the ferry services resumed on 19 November. “But this was not before a lot of individual turmoil and disruption, and the loss of jobs and businesses affected by the ferry absence,” she said. The other long running issue remains the long Colorbond fence on Ward Hill Road. Ms Colebatch said before council had even dealt with the issue by knocking back the application, an appeal had already been lodged in the Land and Environment Court last December. The hearing date was listed as

September 11 this year and she said it was an issue of principle, of what should happen when no development application was lodged when one was required and how council then responds. “So this has some months to run,’’ she said. Ms Colebatch said she had been checking some of the minutes from eight years ago and some of the challenges from 2010 remained. She said concerns were expressed back then about the speed limit and the committee had hoped a 40 kph limit would be imposed. They had flagged that there might be a need for a paid hall organiser, and there were concerns about mangroves in the creek, she said. All three remained issues that were being pursued. “So while progress is made, it takes time and constant attention, and most things take longer than we would hope,” Ms Colebatch said. Ms Colebatch paid tribute to all the committee members over the years who worked hard to protect and improve the services in the area. “This year I have been walking

along the Putty Beach, marvelling at the sands and waves which approach and then retreat, stirring up sand in their crests at times, at other times being of a beautiful azure tint. “And no matter what happens, the tide rolls in and out. “So we committee members are a bit like that. “We vary in tone and size, but we too roll in and out, and in my view we need an injection of new blood, new ideas, new visions. “We share a solid core, but one which needs shaking up at times. “So I would like to thank the committee members for their support, thank all of those who turn up to our events, who work behind the scenes, and all those people who have expressed their appreciation to me for my part in this. “I am very pleased to announce that Mike Allsop has taken over as president,” she said. Mr Allsop, who was vice president, also chairs the Peninsula Waterways community group. SOURCE: Newsletter, 1 June 2019 Media statements, 1 and 6 June 2019 Peta Colebatch, WTKCA

Community halls ‘not commercial entities’ Community halls should not be considered commercial entities, according to Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association outgoing president Ms Peta Colebatch. The community needed to watch Central Coast Council’s community facilities review to ensure that onerous charges are not placed up them for hall licences, she said. The association operates a hall successfully with a full range of regular activities during the week and weekend celebrations and community group activities. She said they did not want council to require expensive additions or to impose a restricted range of licence fees which would significantly affect what the association needed to charge community groups for their use of the hall. “The hall services us all and it would be a retrograde step to consider it as a commercial undertaking,” Ms Colebatch said. “The hall was built by volunteer

labour, its upgrades have been paid for by the community, and volunteers work long and hard to maintain it. “It should not be considered as a commercial entity by Council.” In September last year the Mayor, Cr Jane Smith, led a decision in council to review how council manages its 280 community facilities comprising halls, neighbourhood centres, senior citizens centres, libraries, child care centres, sporting and surfing clubs. At the time she said leases, licences and charges had been criticised by community groups so she wanted council to establish a working party to review the situation. Broader community consultation began in April via council’s Have Your Say engagement hub with an online survey open to anyone. A draft community facilities framework and policy is expected to be presented to Council in late 2019. SOURCE Newsletter, 1 June 2019 Peta Colebatch, WTKCA

Small buses not suitable for Phegans Bay, residents told Only a small number of services to Phegans Bay could be operated by a small bus, according to the operator of bus services to The Bays “Smaller vehicles would simply not have the capacity or flexibility to provide services during the school and commuter peaks,” Busways has told The Bays Community Group. Group president Ms Cathy Gleeson said the response from

Busways had not been what Bays residents were hoping for. “The request to use smaller buses on selected routes on the Central Coast has been around, and resurfacing periodically, for a number of years,” a letter from Busways stated. “This is token of two things: It is not an unreasonable request. It is a difficult issue and one not easily resolved. “There are many practical implications emanating from the use of smaller buses.

“Not the least of these is the ability to provide sufficient capacity to accommodate the carriage of school students. “This is particularly so owing to the influx of younger families with children, as you have alluded in your letter. “At this juncture at least, school bus services will always need to be provided by full size conventional buses. “That being said, realistically, only a small handful of the overall number of services to Phegan’s

Bay could actually be operated by a smaller vehicle and these would not be in the peaks when most residents are leaving and entering the suburb. “A check of the data over the past five years yields a small number of complaints received regarding the issue of buses and cars not being able to pass each other on narrow local roads. “This is not in itself a reason for a lack of action, neither however does it present as a trigger for change.

“However, it remains not an option to provide services to Phegan’s Bay with a smaller bus at this time. “Busways seeks to assure the members of The Bays Community Group on behalf of all residents, that we have considered this matter afresh, and have certainly not been intransigent in our deliberations,” the response reads.

The proposal from applicant KM Design Partners of Umina Beach for owner PL Hicken Pty Ltd would see a new building with an eastwest orientation, with its northern and southern walls to be shared with future adjacent developments. Allotments to the north and south have existing industrial developments. The application asks for zero setback to the south which is similar to adjacent developments. The site used to be an equipment hire warehouse. About 85 per cent of the site is flat with the remainder rising sharply to the eastern boundary which adjoins Blackwall Mountain Reserve. A statement supporting the application says the site is within a bushfire prone area and within

a high risk landslip zone and could be subject to road widening. According to the report, council staff advised the site may be subject to contamination. A geotechnical investigation of the site was made and consulting engineers Forum held discussions with the NSW Environment Protection Authority. The Forum report said the nearby Caltex Service Station had entered into a voluntary management proposal with the authority in September 2015, relating to hydrocarbon contamination of groundwater. Forum did not consider the groundwater on the proposed warehouse site posed a risk to users but recommended that groundwater not be used at the site for any purpose. It also said that potential contamination from existing fill material on the site was limited. The application is on public exhibition until June 21.

Rotary club hears about youth cottage The Rotary Club of Woy Woy’s latest guest speaker was Mr Peter Downey of the Woy Woy Youth Cottage. “Peter was very quietly spoken but extremely passionate about his work,” said club publicity officer Mr Vic Deeble.

Water rates to drop from July Peninsula homeowners will see their water rates drop from July 1, but their Council rates will rise by 2.7 per cent, with full rates parity in the former Gosford and Wyong council areas at least 12 months away. Council did not debate the issues when the two matters came to the May 27 meeting. The approval to reduce the average residential water bills across the coast by 14 to 33 per cent, as determined by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal came at the beginning of the meeting as part of the matters passed en masse with no debate or comment. Typical household bills will fall by around $355 in the former Gosford Council area, depending on water usage levels, creating parity in water rates across the region.

“Peter’s ancestors come from the Hawkesbury region. “He studied engineering and had an excellent career as a production manager but when he was at school, he was touched by a friend who unbeknown to him was homeless and committed suicide. “This led Peter into wanting to help the disadvantaged. “He studied in his own time and completed a diploma in community services. “He volunteered to help at Coast Shelter Youth Refuge, which he finds both rewarding and educational. “He has worked beside Laurie Maher for quite some time, who he says is inspirational. “Peter likes the similarities of Rotary and the work he does, with people being selfless and doing things for others,” Mr Deeble said. “The first question Peter said he always gets asked about homeless youth is ‘Are they on drugs?’ “The answer is no. “Drug use is not tolerated at the

Cottage,” Mr Deeble said. Mr Downey told club members that he houses six homeless youths aged between 12 and 24 in his own home at Umina. “Peter explained how, to young people, appearance was important. “You would never pick a homeless young person. “Peter treats them all as individuals. “He has a high success rate, The Umina Beach branch “Our branch was delighted to finding that education leads of the Country Women’s welcome Upu and Charmaine Kila to employment and then selfAssociation held their Papua to the lunch,” said branch publicity sufficiency,” Mr Deeble said.

Submissions to close People have until this Friday, June 14, to submit their comments on a development application for a three-storey block of nine units at 145 Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, next to St Luke’s Anglican Church. Nearby resident Ms Jane Dove has joined her voice with others from Save Our Woy Woy community group to urge residents to have their say on the proposed development. The plans were revised in December to reduce the bulk of the development and to increase the setbacks to the south to lessen the impact on the adjoining church but the floor space ratio is still 9.7 per cent above the guidelines. Michael Leavey Consulting, on behalf of the applicant S Gardner, said compliance with the floor space ratio was considered unreasonable or unnecessary for a number of reasons including the narrow width of the site. He said the site was in an area identified for medium density housing. “The proposal adjoins a nonresidential use to the south, St Lukes Anglican Church,

which minimises the impact of overshadowing arising from the development on residential properties and setbacks to this boundary have been increased under the revised plans,” Mr Leavey said in a report to council requesting the variation. But Ms Dove said the increased setbacks still did not meet the minimum requirements. “The current proposed side setbacks do vary but the side setbacks of the majority of the building are about 1.6m where the minimum should be 3.5m. The front setback is three metres where six metres is required,’’ she said. She said the height of the building and the inadequate setback would impact on the church in winter due to overshadowing, compromising the natural light within the church and adversely affecting viewing of the coloured windows. She said it would result in higher heating costs and restrict installation of solar panels in the future. Ms Dove said there had been a number of submissions lodged against the proposal but more were needed for it to be taken to a

council meeting. Submissions on the council website DA Tracker show residents complaining the poorly maintained narrow laneway would not accommodate the higher traffic demands. One talked about the increase in population from this one small block. “If future developments are similar to this DA, the charm of Woy Woy will be gone forever and infrastructure will be stretched to its limits,” the submission said. “Will the Central Coast region remain an attractive place to live or holiday with growth rates of this magnitude?” Development proposals with more than 15 submissions objecting to it will go to a council meeting unless the application is recommended for refusal or changes have been made to proposal that in the opinion of the director have addressed the issues raised. Other ways to get the matter to a council meeting is if two or more councillors request a call up.

‘No tender’ for Correa Bay boat ramp Central Coast Council has received no “suitable” tenders for the design and construction of Correa Bay boat ramp at Woy Woy. A report to tonight’s council meeting recommends the council negotiate with “any contractor”. It does not recommend inviting fresh tenders because “the market has responded”. Only one tender – from Bell Rock Marine Pty Ltd from Rainbow Flat - was received when council invited tenders in March. The project is the result of public consultation in 2012 as part of the development of the Brisbane Water Public Wharves and Boat Ramps Usage Study.

“No further community consultation specific to this contract was deemed necessary,’’ the report stated. The study identified the project as a priority due to the poor state of the existing ramp and the need for enhancing the availability and accessibility to quality aquatic recreation experiences through improved infrastructure. Proposed works include demolition of the existing ramp and construction of a new single lane boat ramp and fish cleaning table that complies with legislation, standards and guidelines.

Central Coast councillors have given themselves a 2.5 per cent pay rise. The pay rise was passed at the May 27 meeting with no debate. The decision went through en masse with nine other undebated decisions where councillors adopted the staff recommendations. Staff recommended that council “determine” the maximum amount payable under the Local Government Remuneration Tribunal determination. On April 15, the tribunal ruled that the annual fee to be paid to

each councillor was to be between $18,430 and $30,410. Councillors were already paid the previous maximum so their increase was 2.5 per cent. The tribunal said 2.5 per cent increase was consistent with the State Government’s policy on wages. The mayor received a 2.5 per cent increase to her additional allowance bringing it up to $80,000 and the deputy’s allowance rose to $8600. SOURCE Central Coast Council agenda 4.2, 27 May 2019

Two local councillors claim no expenses Local ward councillors Cr Troy Marquart and Cr Richard Mehrtens have not claimed any expenses in the seven months from October 2018 to the end of April this year. The third local councillor, Cr Chris Holstein, has claimed general travel expenses of $2928 and professional development expenses of $220. The highest claimant was Gosford East Ward Cr Rebecca Gale Collins who claimed more than $8000 in total across seven categories including home office expenses, internet services and carer expenses. Cr Mehrtens said he made the personal decision at this time not to seek expenses for costs he had incurred during his official duties. Cr Marquart said the listed expenses for each councillor had been claimed and provided within the current rules. “Each councillor has different needs, different lifestyles and very

different expense claims,’’ he said. “I do not personally think that any issue exists within the current expense claim clarification table.” Cr Holstein said his general travel expenses were in accordance with council policy and related to his attendance at council meetings, briefings, advisory committee meetings, representing the mayor in his role as deputy and community events. He said in the last 11months this had included 188 meetings/ briefings /committees and 178 events including council events such as listening posts, cultural exhibitions or services. “I record all my travel (vehicle travel log) for council, private and my part time employment. “Since the start of this financial year I have travelled a total of nearly 17,000kms of which 57 per cent has been private or work related (NOT claimed), while 43 per cent of my travel is directly attributed to my role as councillor

and deputy mayor (which is my claimed travel),” he said. It states in the council papers that the report is published to “communicate openly and honestly with the community to build a relationship based on transparency, understanding, trust and respect”. Councillors can claim up to $12,500 a year in general travel expenses and another $15,000 per year for long distance travel expenses and another $500 per night for meals and accommodation. They can claim for professional development of $12,000 per year and carer expenses of $8,000 per year as well as home office and internet expenses.

Support unit students enjoy arboretum Support unit students from Ettalong Public School enjoyed an excursion to the Pearl Beach Arboretum on May 29.

“The day began with early morning glimpses of swamp wallabies and the loud laughs of kookaburras welcoming our students to the arboretum,” said principal Ms Lynn Balfour. “This is where our students thoroughly enjoyed the sensory experience of learning firsthand the sights, smells, sounds and textures

of the local native bushland and wildlife in our local environment.” This was followed by dip netting in the Green Point Creek, a guided walk on the rock platforms investigating all the creatures in the rock pools and creating plaster casts in the sand. “We had beautiful weather for a beach picnic and the chance for students to play on the beach.” SOURCE: Newsletter, 4 June 2019 Lynn Balfour, Ettalong Public School

Loud minority of older people take selfish attitude In response to Astra Revson’s letter in Peninsula News edition 470; I read this paper with increasing disdain for the loud minority of older people living on the Peninsula who go to great lengths to shoot down any proposal where their age group are not the primary benefactors. In her letter Ms Revson claims, without evidence, a university on the Central Coast would result in an influx of international students and their families and a bumping up of housing and rental prices. She wants the Central Coast to remain the way it is, a selfish approach given the region’s lack of opportunities for young people. I am a current student of the University of Newcastle who is forced to travel to the Callaghan Campus to complete my degree due to the Central Coast Campus offering a third of the degrees the major campuses do. A fully-fledged Central Coast University like the one David Abrahams supports (not an offshoot campus of an existing university) would do wonders for the region’s young people who want to live, work and study on the Coast. My university does not have thousands of international students. Across all six campuses of the University of Newcastle, there are just over 7000 international students enrolled making up less than five per cent of the student

Forum LETTERS TO THE EDITOR should be sent to:

Peninsula News PO Box 1056, Gosford 2250 or editorial@centralcoastnews. net See Page 2 for contribution conditions body. The majority of international students that I know either live on campus in student housing or in off-campus sharehouses. Given that they pay through the nose to study here and are not guaranteed residency in this country after they graduate, I also don’t put much stock in claims that they bring their entire family along with them. I am tired of seeing older residents of the Peninsula stand in the way of projects that don’t benefit them. Most of you won’t be here long enough to witness the repercussions of your tireless campaigns against developing housing, both high rise and social, but every generation after yours will.

Emma McBride appointed to two Shadow Assistant Minister roles

Plan to ban instant cash loan machines not supported

Gwandalan Medical Centre approved under sufferance

Federal Member for Dobell, Emma McBride, has been appointed Shadow Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Shadow Assistant Minister for Carers, and she feels that her experience and training in health care will hold her in good stead

Member for Swansea and Shadow Minister for Better Regulation, Yasmin Catley, has expressed her disappointment that the NSW Liberal Government will not back NSW Labor’s plan to ban instant cash loan machines in the state.

Whether or not to approve a new medical centre at Gwandalan inadvertently became yet another debate at Central Coast Council about State Government planning policy over riding local plans.

Democratic representatives or government tools? In a May article in the Sydney Morning Herald, (“Why local councillors deserve, don’t laugh, a pay rise”), Jacob Saulwick raised the subject of the dual roles of a councillor. One role is to represent a portion of the community, the other administrative, the latter namely “to make plans, and to hold the executive parts of the organisation accountable”. If we examine our councillors’ recent record on voting on development applications, many of which exhibit design elements exceeding guidelines of the local environmental and development control plans, our councillors appear to overwhelmingly approve their planning department’s assessments. It could be argued that our councillors, in relation to housing development trends, neither represent the local community nor do they sufficiently question the decisions of their planning department. The same article also argues that the NSW Government’s point in merging councils was to increase their capacity to work with the State Government, thereby emphasising the functions of councils over their local democratic role. Councils obligingly rezoned land for more intensive housing development some years ago. So local residents on the Peninsula may well ask if they are being democratically represented or is their council a tool of the State Government’s population policy?

Have efficiency and economies occurred?

In response to the article “Council staff recommend rate rise” (Peninsula News edition 470), ratepayers should be sceptical of the recommendation to apply the maximum allowable increase to rates proposed by staff. The

rationale

for

council

Forum amalgamations was to realise efficiency and scale economies in service delivery. Should Council approve this proposal some clarification of whether such economies occurred and how any such savings have been utilised ought be reported to

ratepayers. If no such economies have been generated, it might be useful to consider whether the Coast community has been subjected to an exercise of unhelpful bureaucratisation and how to remedy this unexpected outcome. Email, 28 May 2019 Pete Newman, Umina

Could some councillors up their work rate? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all, within certain bounds, set our own pay or pension increases? Well, that’s what our councillors had the opportunity to do at their last meeting. The NSW Local Government Remunerations Tribunal set the maximum pay for our level of Councillors at $30,410 per annum. Guess how much our Councillors increased their pay to?

Forum Would you believe $30,410, the maximum possible? Perhaps all those new noncomplying housing developments have to be approved, to increase the rate base, to compensate for these substantial increases. I just wonder if a Council election were being held this weekend whether we would think that some of our councillors could

up their work rate before putting their hand out for more. Let me take this opportunity to say how wonderful it is to see a tiny section of Ocean Beach and McMasters Rds being re-surfaced. Let us hope that this continues and more of our car-wrecking roads are on the short list. Unfortunately, the pothole fixers are still locked in the 18th century.

Decline in non-compliance is deemed to be acceptable The Council’s express 24-hour development application assessment process will certainly be responsible for increasing the number of development applications for the Peninsula. Assisting this process is the advice from the applicant DA56500 (Peninsula News edition 470). Attracting support for any Peninsula development from Council staff and councillors requires the addition of a roof terrace bar and pool. Assurance that these two lowcost additions to a development will support tourism and the local economy is more than sufficient to outweigh all other issues, thus

Forum assuring approval. Before submissions close, I am confident this application will be approved despite the public’s concerns and non- compliance. The report in Peninsula News edition 470 includes comments on over shadowing and mid-winter solar access. It is pointless commenting on these issues as they are both now regarded as insignificant. The latest example of this practice is approval of the development at the Farnell Rd, Woy Woy, approved despite noncompliance to solar access. My suggestion to the editor and staff is to omit comments on solar access and overshadowing,

with an informed comment on why these two issues are irreverent. This will assist the community when making submissions on DAs. I have reported that the Department of Planning and Environment has adopted overshadowing and solar access non-compliance practice for Gosford’s City Centre revitalisation. Though solar access was noncompliant, the Department deemed further decline was acceptable: A permanent non-compliance issue, of no interest to the authorities. Reality will not be freely advertised by the Central Coast Council. No doubt Peninsula residents have identified many other permanent non-compliant issues.

Breakfast club to be extended Ettalong Public School’s Breakfast Club has been extended and will now be open on all school days.

Pacific island group at risk of collapse

Woy Woy South Public School’s iconic Pacific Island Group is at risk of collapse if suitable program leaders cannot be found to replace outgoing leaders.

The Pacific Island Group program has provided a platform for Woy Woy South Public School students to learn more about the cultures and customs of the Pacific Islander people. It is a unique offering not available in any other school on the Coast but is at risk of disbanding if suitable new leaders do not step forward, according to principal Mr Matt Barr. “For the past seven years, our school has become well known across the Central Coast for our fabulous Pacific Island Group,”

said Mr Barr. “Very few schools in the state could boast a program that has produced so many fabulous moments for students, staff and their parents. “It is with tremendous gratitude, but great sadness, that our program leaders Jason and Michelle Tepuia and choreographer Tina have told us that due to lack of time they will no longer be able to lead the group. “Jason and Michelle have three children who have moved on to high school, who formerly attended Woy Woy South and their time must now turn to them and their numerous pursuits. “It goes without saying that we are truly grateful for the time and commitment that this family has given to our school over this seven

year period. “The impact of what has been achieved by the group will be long lasting and will no doubt be recalled by many students in years to come as some of their most treasured memories of primary school. “Our school would love to continue this program in any form. “If there are any community members who have the time, knowledge and interest to continue this great work, or something similar, please contact us at the school office. “Our Pacific Island Group is a great example of how a simple idea and commitment became something amazing for our kids,” Mr Barr said.

Environmental learning program

It was decided by Student Leaders to extend the Breakfast Club, which already ran Monday to Wednesday, to include Thursdays and Fridays, with the new schedule taking effect from May 30. “We are now proud to announce that it will also be open on Thursday and Fridays too and it’s going to be run by our Leadership Team. “Our leaders want Breakfast

Club to be a fun place for students to come with their friends, where they can have a healthy breakfast,” said principal Ms Lynn Balfour. To ease the school into this transition, the Student Leadership Team is now calling for donations of healthy breakfast items such as fruits, spreads and appropriate cereals. Donations can be dropped into the school canteen. SOURCE: Newsletter, 28 May 2019 Lynn Balfour, Ettalong Public School

Bays art show is planned for July The annual Bays Art Show is scheduled to take place at The Bays Community Hall, Woy Woy Bay, over the weekend of July 20-21. Group president Ms Cathy Gleeson said the show was a highlight of The Bays’ calendar year and that the 2019 show was shaping up to be one of the best ones yet. Opening night will take place at the community hall from 7:30pm on July 19. “We have again secured six talented local artists to exhibit at this year’s show and we have also welcomed boutique winery, Strawhouse Wines, who will be showcasing some of their wines over the weekend,” Ms Gleeson said. Over the coming weeks, the group will be releasing details of each feature artist two at a time in the lead-up to opening night. Ms Meg Lewer and Mr Walter Koppen were the first two artists on the bill to be revealed. “Meg is an Australian contemporary artist working with the medium of alcohol inks,” Ms Gleeson said. “She grew up in Brewarrina, a small town on the banks of the Barwon River and home to the 40,000 year old aboriginal fish

traps. “Meg’s paintings are worked with a combination of small brush strokes and an interplay of the Inks running across the surface of the board. “She endeavours to create artworks which celebrate the beauty of nature, to capture a mood and image which reflects her responses to places she has been or seen,” Ms Gleeson said. Born in Holland, Mr Koppen emigrated to Australia in 1992 and has been living on the Central Coast since 2005. Ms Gleeson said Mr Koppen had always admired the diverse colours and grain in timber, but it wasn’t until 2012 that he had the opportunity to try his hand at woodturning. “Following the curves and textures of the piece enhances the visual pleasure of the finished work.” Ms Gleeson said Mr Koppen found discovering the beauty within a lump of wood and transforming to be gratifying. Ms Gleeson said volunteers were welcome to help in the leadup to opening night and over the show weekend. SOURCE: Newsletter, 31 May 2019 Cathy Gleeson, The Bays Community Group

Folk club puts on two events The Troubadour Folk Club is putting on two events this month. The club will be putting on two concert events over the coming weeks with The Trippy Hippy Band and The Water Runners. “As the weather gets cold, the Troubadour is running hot over two great weekends this June,” said club president Mr Michael Fine. The Trippy Hippy Band concert is up first, with the band taking to the stage at the Everglades Country Club from 7pm on June 15. “Call them freaks, the underground, the counter-culture, flower children or new hippies, they are Joe and Harmony’s Trippy Hippy Band, a band of 60s aficionados who sing the songs that transformed life in the west as we knew it,” Mr Fine said. The Water Runners will appear at St Luke’s Church Hall, Woy Woy, from 7pm on June 22. “The Water Runners are Australia’s most original and exciting new acoustic band in years,” Mr Fine said. “Fresh from a festival in Australia’s High Country, they’re coming to play their own unique high energy blend of Australian folk bluegrass.” Tickets are essential for both events.

Out&About

Arts students camp at Cockatoo Island A group of Visual Arts and Photography students from Brisbane Water Secondary College took part in the College’s annual combined campus Art Camp.

For the camp, students from Years 8 to 10 visited Sydney’s Cockatoo Island for a three-day excursion of art-making, theory and art immersion. According to Woy Woy campus principal Ms Rebecca Cooper, the camp was packed with cultural experiences and art activities. “Day one involved getting to the island which is located in Sydney Harbour,” she said. “On arrival, we were treated to a tour of the island and learnt about its history and infamous ghosts. “The students went to the camp kitchen for a barbecue dinner and art activities before heading to one of the historic houses on top of the island to enjoy a movie.

“Day two started with a sunrise painting and drawing activity overlooking the Sydney harbour bridge. “It was bitterly cold and a little too early for some sleepy heads but I think that everyone appreciated the experience. “We spent the day in the city visiting the Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery, the State Library and the Art Gallery of NSW. “The evening was spent aboard the Sydney Show Boat enjoying a buffet dinner and enjoying the visual display from the 2019 Vivid Festival. “Our final day was filled with art making with many students choosing to take some time to reflect on their experiences and channel them into their practice,” Ms Cooper said.

Colouring in competition for aged care residents The winners of a colouring in competition for aged care residents have been announced. The competition was held at Umina’s Peninsula Village. “Colouring in is a therapeutic activity suitable to the young and old,” said village chief executive Mr Shane Neaves. “Revisiting this much loved childhood pastime is well worth the effort and has great mental and social benefits. “It’s always a very popular activity on the village lifestyle calendar. “The winners were Nessie Newman (first place), Ruth Walker (second) and Janice Foskett (third). “The standard of entries was very high which made judging the winners a difficult task.”

Artist launches art classes for adults Horsfield Bay artist Ms Naomi Veitch has launched art classes for adults. Ms Veitch will hold the classes in her home studio with classes focusing on painting. “You can paint in oils or acrylics, realistic or abstract. The choice is yours. “Art classes are 1.5 hours long. “You will work on your own project during the class and continue painting over a few classes depending on size and the complexity of your artwork,” Ms Veitch said. More information on class times and how to book can be found on the Coastal Art Australia website. SOURCE: Social media, 27 May 2019 Naomi Veitch, Horsfield Bay

THE SHAME FILE

Central Coast Newspapers has a very liberal credit policy for advertisers and realises that from time to time, people, businesses and organisations get into financial difficulty and may need assistance and time to get things back on track. However, some people, businesses and organisations take advantage of this generosity they use advertising but simply don’t pay their account after several months and need to be taken to court to do so. From time to time, as necessary, we will name these people, businesses or organisations as a warning to our readers so that they will be wary when dealing with them.

See or www.centralcoastnews.Net Central Coast Newspapers’ advertising rates are relatively much lower than in other newspapers and at the same time much larger than in other newspapers, with the minimum size being 50mm X 42mm. Approximately 16,000 copies of each newspaper are printed and distributed every fortnight.

Personal and Not For Profit Organisations As Central Coast Newspapers are community newspapers, the cost of advertising not for profit organisations’ events is subsidised. This makes them the same rate as non business advertisements. A mono 5cm advertisement only costs $33. Each additional cm costs $6.60 as does colour, and/or a photograph or a logo. Private advertisements need to be paid for at the time of booking.

Business rates

The minimum size of 5cm X a single column only costs $40 + GST in mono and an extra $8 + GST for colour, a logo or a photograph, every two weeks. Most businesses choose to advertise on an ongoing basis and discounts apply for multiple bookings, if they are paid for in full, in advance. Having an advertisement run for 3 months only costs $215 + GST, for 6 months it is $385 + GST, and for 12 months advertising, the total cost is only $700 + GST – Approximately $14 per week. Artwork is free and advertisers are encouraged to change their advertisements frequently

Southern and Ettalong loses top spot on women’s ladder Southern and Ettalong United’s women’s soccer club has lost top spot on Central Coast Football’s Women’s Premier League ladder to Kanwal. Southern and Ettalong United had been leading the competition for the first six rounds, but when it recorded a one-all draw against Terrigal in Round 7, Kanwal was able to edge ahead of them by a single point, a feat the northern club repeated in Round 8. Southern and Ettalong United went into their Round 8 fixture against Gosford City hungry to reclaim their spot as the ladder leaders. Billed as the match of the round by Central Coast Football, Southern and Ettalong United didn’t disappoint. “Southern started the match with serious intent, threatening on a number of occasions throughout the opening 10 minutes without finding the net, however,

their lead was established in the 15th minute,” said Central Coast Football’s digital content coordinator Mr Lachlan Herd. “From a direct free-kick, WPL top scorer Tahlor Thackray squared the ball to an unmarked Natalie Waddell who found the back of the net from the best part of 20-25 metres out. “After conceding early, Gosford managed to get a foothold back in the game as they created a number of scoring opportunities themselves as the first half wore on. “However, the Lions defensive set-up coupled with a number of quality saves from keeper Bec Arnfield meant the score remained 1-0 at the break. “Gosford City knew they had to come out in the second half in search of a goal that would see them back into the contest, but in doing so they would leave themselves open to the counterattack. “Although looking threatening

in the early stages of the second half, the Dragons continued to struggle to find a way past the Southern defensive set up, and after 65 minutes they conceded a second, with Thackray getting on the scoresheet for her 10th goal of the season,” Mr Herd said. “After being played through on goal, Thackray showed great awareness to chip an advancing Gosford City goalkeeper to all but seal the three points for her side. “Some 10 minutes later she would have the opportunity to put the match to bed after Emma Woodger was judged to have been fouled in the penalty area, with Thackray stepping up and converting the penalty for her second and Ettalong’s third to secure the win,” Mr Herd said. Despite the result, a win to Kanwal over the Kincumber Roos sees Southern and Ettalong United still a point behind moving into Round 9. Umina United tied one all in their Round 8 fixture against Toukley.

“Third placed Umina welcomed eighth placed Toukley to Umina Oval as they looked to close the gap to the top two sides on the WPL ladder,” Mr Herd said. “After a tough 4-1 defeat to Kanwal in Round 7, Umina were desperate to return to winning ways. “Toukley, on the other hand, headed into this match on the back of a 7-0 victory over Kariong United, their first victory of the season. “They didn’t start this match like a side that had only won one game this season, as they continuously applied pressure to the Umina defensive unit, denied a goal by both the woodwork and some brilliant saves from Umina keeper Sam Fulwood. “Despite a substantial number of opportunities, Toukley were unable to find the lead as the teams were locked at 0-0 heading into half time. “As the sides emerged for the second half it was apparent that

Umina were more up for the match than they had been in the first half. “However, a defensive mix up saw them gift Toukley the opening goal after 50 minutes, with Lily Williams finding the net for the Gunners. “Umina did manage a rather quick reply, as Hayley Fulwood grabbed a goal back to restore parity, setting the match up for an exciting finish. “Both sides pushed for a winner and the Eagles probably would have found one were it not for a great save from Toukley keeper Chloe Payne with only five minutes to play. “The save proved crucial as Toukley held on for a hard-earned point in what was their fifth draw of the season,” Mr Herd said. The result sees Umina maintain their grip on third moving into Round 9. SOURCE: Media release, 5 Jun 2019 Lachlan Herd, Central Coast Football

Woy Woy defeated by Hornsby in rugby union Woy Woy were defeated by Hornsby in their Round 8 fixture in the Central Coast Rugby Union Competition.

“Hornsby recorded their first win of the season with a meritorious victory over Woy Woy at Mark Taylor Oval, running out winners by 26 points to 14,” said Central Coast Rugby Union publicity officer Mr Larry Thomson. “Hornsby had the better of the first half and went to the halftime

break with a well-deserved 12 points to nil lead. “In fact, that was the difference in the match, as both teams scored two converted tries in the second half to cancel each other out at 14 points apiece. “It was that first half effort that got the home team the win. “The win confirms a steady improvement this season for Hornsby as the team has steadily improved throughout the year.

“Woy Woy gave it their all for the 80 minutes. “They tried everything to bridge the gap in the second half but were unable to do so. “Best for Woy Woy were fullback Sunita Fihaki, lock Jack Dewar and winger Blake Arahill,” Mr Thomson said.
