Unemployment is worse on the Peninsula, says Tesch Unemployment is significantly worse on the Peninsula than it is on the rest of the Central Coast, according to figures released by Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch.

Upgrade for Patonga boat ramp carpark Patonga’s Dark Corner boat ramp carpark is being upgraded. The work includes an upgrade of the carpark pavement with formalised line marking for cars and boat trailers and an upgrade of park furniture within the reserve.

It is expected to be completed around the end of the month weather and tidal conditions permitting. The boat ramp will be closed during the construction period and access to Dark Corner and Brisbane Water National Park will

only be available along Patonga foreshore. The NSW Roads and Maritime Service is undertaking the work in partnership with Central Coast Council. SOURCE: Media release, 25 Jun 2019 Nathan Alexander, NSW RMS

And the Coast’s unemployment is worse than the State average. Ms Tesch said the unemployment rate for the Peninsula in 2016 was 8.0 per cent. The average for the Coast was 6.7 per cent, and the State average 6.3 per cent. This meant unemployment on the Peninsula was around 25 per cent worse than the State average and about 20 per cent worse than the Central Coast average.

Ms Tesch said these figures were based on the latest Census information and came from ID The Population Experts, demographic consultants who break down information into local areas. Ms Tesch said 4.9 per cent of the workforce on the Peninsula were looking for full-time work, where the average across the Coast was 3.9 per cent. Those looking for part time work on the Peninsula amounted to 3.2 per cent of the workforce, while the Coast average was 2.9 per cent. Ms Tesch said the figures showed the NSW Government’s Sydney-centric vision hurt regions like the Central Coast. SOURCE Press Release, 4 July 2019 Liesl Tesch, Member for Gosford

Council to consider urban shade and green space A draft Greener Places Strategy which aims to enhance tree canopy cover and green space across urban areas will be considered by Central Coast Council tonight (July 9). Peninsula Community action group Grow Urban Shade Trees has been campaigning for more tree planting along residential streets on the Peninsula and were consulted in the preparation of the strategy. The strategy proposes that the Council develop a series of plans such as a green grid plan

to promote and manage urban green spaces with a two for one replacement for every tree removed across the region. It aims to identify opportunities for community partnerships to fund and resource landscaping and streetscape improvement projects. It hopes to develop community and school programs and events to improve regional biodiversity and tree management, including backyard habitat and citizen science programs and support the establishment of native gardens on private lands. It also aims to reduce urban heat island effects and increase

habitat for urban wildlife. The strategy was presented to councillors at a briefing on June 3 where answers were provided to questions about how damage to infrastructure would be avoided and whether it would reduce graffiti. As well as the Grow Urban Shade Trees group, the Trees of Bateau Bay group and Community Environment Network were also consulted. If approved, the strategy will go on public exhibition for 28 days.

In last edition it was reported that June’s monthly rainfall figure was well below average, but according to rainfall data compiled by Umina’s Mr Jim Morrison, June has seemingly ended on a high. Since June 21 more than 80mm of rainfall has been recorded across the Peninsula in the sixth month with a further 33mm recorded in the first week of July. The heaviest single fall recorded in June was on the 24th and saw 42mm fall, closely followed by the 25.2mm that fell on the 26th. These results coupled with consistent rainfall from June 24-31, has raised June’s monthly rainfall total up to 133mm, much closer to its yearly average total of 170mm

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.

A $100m five tower major residential development proposed for Gosford

$ 1 0 0 m development on John Whiteway Dr, Gosford, comprising five residential towers and extensive landscaping, has progressed to the next stage of consideration with the NSW Planning Department. The proposal would see 260 apartment units in the five towers over six, eight and 12 levels, and two levels of basement parking providing 423 spaces on a 2.3ha site. The Department has issued the Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) for the project, to be assessed as a State Significant Development, with applicant JWD Developments having two years to lodge a Development Application and an Environmental Impact Statement. While the proposal exceeds height controls applying to the land, variations to height restrictions will be considered through the design review process. In an Architectural Design Statement, ADG Architects said the site, at 87-89 John Whiteway Dr, was unique in that it was well positioned as a viewing platform, was protected by bushland and yet still connected to the CBD. “Often CBDs are places of disconnection and isolation for residents, however, we

designed to reflect the natural topography with the utilisation of green roofs and other elements. The development would aim to cater for families, first home buyers and downsizers. Major features would include luxury pools and decking, raised planters, active turf areas, communal outdoor dining, a coastal bushland walk, golf putting greens and rooftop gardens. AGD Architects principal, Anthony Kelly, said the development would be “not like anything in Gosford at the moment”. “It is extremely important to integrate the community up there already and also the landscape,” Kelly said. “We are now starting to work through the EIS and DA process and we’re targeting approval within 12 months, with construction hopefully to start late next year. “There is a lot of work to be done, from detailed design to engineering and environment work.” JWD Developments is a commercial and residential construction company specialising in apartment and nursing home conversions as well as residential home construction and refurbishment.

buildings will allow the site to be activated via numerous outdoor amenities.” These would range from communal gathering/meeting

areas, such as bocce and tennis courts, to elegant walkways blending into the natural environment. The towers would be of

Toxic working environment, mass resignations and multi bed closures at aged care facility

staff member from Casuarina Grove Aged Care Facility, Hamlyn Terrace, claims that the facility has become a “hidden hell hole” and believes that it is destined for closure, which could see some of the region’s highest care elderly displaced. According to the staffer, who did not wish to be named for fear of retribution, behind closed doors, Casuarina Grove was on a downward spiral, with secret bed closures, declining patient care standards and warring staff. Casuarina Grove is the largest of the Specialist Supported Living (SSL) facilities operated by Family and Community Services (FACS) NSW. According to FACS, the 100 bed purpose built facility was opened in 2011 and specialises in providing 24-hour support for people with an intellectual disability and complex ageing related needs, and was the first of its kind to be built in NSW. The staffer said concerns first emerged when management closed 20 beds abruptly and with little explanation. The staffer said the

beds, which are located in Units 5 and 6, had been shut for at least six months, and as a result, new resident admissions had also effectively been capped. “We were told the Units had been closed for renovations but they’re not even 10 years old and neither myself or any staff member that I’ve spoken to about it has seen any activity in those Units since they were closed,” the staffer said. They said Casuarina Grove was currently operating in a state of limbo and that unbeknownst to the general public, the facility

According to the staffer, the issue has gotten so bad that this inner circle is now directly compromising the safety of residents, staff and the wider Hamlyn Terrace, Warnervale and Wadalba communities. The staffer alleges that

a member of the inner circle, who is an Assistant in Nursing (AIN), has been showing up to work intoxicated and that management have been going to great lengths to excuse her behaviour. “This AIN drives to Casuarina Grove, completely and utterly drunk and arrives incapable of doing anything. “She has shown a reckless abandon for her own life and the lives of others and amazingly, to the best of my knowledge, she has faced no disciplinary action for her conduct,” the staffer said. “What’s more is that management have been aware of this behaviour, as multiple staff members have put in complaints, but have done nothing about it. “I know of multiple occasions where this AIN arrived drunk and was allowed to sleep it off or the Unit Manager arranged a taxi to take her home. “I’ve even been told that other staff members have been directed to drive this AIN back to her home in Wadalba. “How has this been allowed to go on?” the staffer said.

Medium density plan for Woy Woy A radius of one kilometre around Woy Woy would be designated “medium density residential” under a plan being considered by Central Coast Council.

Woy Woy is one of five strategic centres identified in a draft urban plan that may eventually lead to a new local environment plan, the guidelines used for the assessment of development applications. The town centres, with a radius of one kilometre, will “offer high amenity settings for medium density residential and maintain their distinctive characters” according to the draft plan which goes to council tonight (June 24). If passed by the councillors, the draft urban spatial plan will go on public exhibition for 60 days and council will undertake community workshops in each of eight planning precincts identified in the local strategic planning statement that is part of the plan. Woy Woy town centre is within one of those eight planning precincts. The entire peninsula is part of the one West Brisbane Water and Peninsula planning area. Priorities for Woy Woy town centre include adopting a strategic plan to support population growth that will not generate unsustainable traffic impacts, while protecting the scenic quality and character of the area. But it will also promote housing densities that will encourage socially diverse population and short stay accommodation “in a manner that does not impact connections and movement as well as limiting growth in environmental hazard areas”. Also, it wants to encourage revitalisation of Woy Woy through the development of a “cohesive domain approach strategy that supports a pleasant and safe town centre with housing, jobs, services, community facilities and entertainment for residents and visitors”. Umina will be a town centre, providing low to mid-rise living with some medium density housing

as part of mixed-use areas in the commercial centre. Specifically, Umina’s priorities will be the creation of a civic area through enhancement of the useability of public space in the centre and providing safe public realm ensuring functionality for wide cross section of the community. “Key attractors” will be connected by maximizing opportunities for ecological and environmental sustainability including rainwater recycling, energy efficiency, and cycling. It will capitalize on amenity benefits by improving relationship between public and private spaces to the benefit of the public while fostering community ownership and approval as part of the renewal process and business community. Another priority will be creating opportunity for innovative development and design. Ettalong Beach has been designated a village with a range of 600 metres from the centre. Priorities identified in the draft are to support local business and retain the existing amenity. The built form is meant to be low to medium rise development with a focus on town houses and villa development. The vision in the draft is the first stage in developing council’s local strategic planning statement which it must deliver by July 2020 under State Government rules and which leads to a comprehensive local environment plan - and that’s the plan that sets development guidelines. As part of a separate process, character statements about places will be developed under a comprehensive review of the Central Coast Development Control Plan – another planning instrument. Council will identify actions required for achieving the planning priorities, as well as the basis on which it will monitor and report on the implementation of those actions. The State Government required all merged councils to develop an integrated vision which included

prioritised land use planning. Council’s draft plan aims to provide the framework for the coast’s growth and development over the next 20 years but it sits inside the directions of the NSW State Government’s Central Coast Regional Plan 2036 and council’s own Community Strategic Plan 2018. Its role is to provide a clear direction for strategic planning instruments “to deliver housing diversity, transport improvements, a protected natural environment, infrastructure upgrades, economic and social vitality desired by the community, without compromising the identity, quality and nature of Central Coast living”, according to the report to council. These directions include revitalising town centres, upgrading public spaces and creating new housing types and improving “movement” networks and to “transform neighbourhoods into inclusive, adaptable, resilient and smart hubs of growth”. The report to the councillors says: “The draft Plan will ensure that the Central Coast of tomorrow will grow into a World Class Region that is smart, green and liveable with a shared sense of belonging and responsibility. “Gosford Regional Centre will become a Living City Centre that acts as the Capital of the Central Coast, providing regional facilities and a positive local identity. “Our other Centres will thrive with more living and working opportunities, providing key services to surrounding communities. Importantly, our communities will be physically connected through appropriate infrastructure and socially connected through strong relationships and sense of unity.” The report states that Woy Woy peninsula has had a population growth of between 0.5 per cent to one per cent in the years 2011 to 2016 and the same percentage growth is forecast for the next 10 years.

Gosford CBD developments update

ust a year ago the Gosford skyline was full of the sight of cranes at work on a variety of major projects which were to kickstart the rejuvenation of the city centre.

Rotary club plans youth charity ball

But in recent months, many of the cranes have disappeared, as some projects have been completed while progress on several other key proposals has stagnated. The completion of the ATO, the finance building and Bonython Tower, at opposite ends of Mann St, were a promising start to the rejuvenation, but several major projects, including the Waterside and Mariner Plaza developments, seem to have come to a standstill. Raine and Horne Commercial, Central Coast, Sales Agent, Andrew Dunn, thinks the property market is “on its way back” following recent State and Federal elections. “We could potentially see more developments moving forward as the market recovers,” Dunn said. A major stumbling block for the larger projects, he said, could be attributed to changes to the “sunset clause” for “off the plan sales” made in recent years in NSW. The sunset clause is used when buyers purchase “off the plan”, as is common with many high rise residential developments and the clause sets a time by which a development must be completed. “Historically, either the buyer or the seller was entitled to withdraw from the property

sale if the development was not finished by that date,” Dunn said. “In the last Sydney property boom, some developers were holding back completion of projects so they could take the property back and sell it for a higher price. “To protect purchasers and the integrity of ‘off the plan sales’, the State Government made changes to the legislation. “Unfortunately, one of these protections was that the maximum sunset period be two years. “Many of these larger developments in Gosford can’t be completed in two years, so developers need to fund the project commencement without any pre-sales. “At present, the market depth and availability of project funding make this scenario far too risky for a developer to entertain,” Andrew Dunn said. But CKDS Architecture

Director, Caine King, said he hoped to see an increase in development applications as business confidence restores. “There was a bit of a stall in DAs following the amalgamation of Gosford and Wyong councils,” King said. “There wasn’t much confidence in the market of being able to get larger projects off the ground.” King said new State planning controls introduced in 2018 were helping to build confidence. “We have seen a little bit more interest since the State and Federal elections and we hope to see even more DAs lodged,” he said. “Everything we see being built now is from (approvals) five years ago or so. “We still need new developers coming in to keep the market flowing.” Central Coast Mayor, Jane Smith, said Council’s planned Cultural Precinct, to comprise

ready. A spokesman said Council’s expansion and upgrade of the Gosford CBD water and sewage system was on track to be delivered over the next five years, involving upgrades to existing water and sewer infrastructure as well as new infrastructure in key areas across the CBD area. These include two new sewer pump stations, new connections to the President’s Hill reservoir zone and to the Gosford Hospital redevelopment, new lower pressure sewer systems to the Gosford Racecourse, and 7.7km of water mains and 6.4km of sewer mains.

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.”

bring $830m in royalties to the state. Central Coast Greens MLC and spokesperson for Mining, Coal and CSG, Abigail Boyd, “seriously questions” those employment figures. “Even Adani has admitted that its monstrous mine will result in a maximum of around 1,500 jobs, so how is Wallarah 2 going to create 1,700?” she said.

“As for royalties, it will be at least three years before a single tonne of coal is extracted from the project, and that’s assuming Kores satisfies the licence condition for the ground water study needed before it can start digging. “Given the freefall of thermal coal prices, and the move away from coal fired power

News Community group tackles abandoned boats The Bays Community Group has resolved to do more to combat the large number of abandoned boats around the Phegans Bay foreshore. Group president Ms Cathy Gleeson the resolution came during their June general meeting. “The issue of the number of abandoned boats on the foreshore in the vicinity of Raymond Rd and Phegans Bay Rd was raised at the meeting and The Bays Community Group has resolved to contact relevant authorities to have these boats removed,” Ms Gleeson said. “Our Council bushcare officer will also look into the matter on our behalf. “It is feared that these boats will deteriorate and break down causing safety issues for people using our waterways, as well as being unsightly on the foreshore landscape,” she said.

Film about Mingaletta Aunties premieres this week Minagaletta Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation will celebrate Naidoc Week this week with the premiere screening of a film The Aunties of Mingaletta.

The two-hour film describes the struggles of women elders through the Stolen Generation,

domestic violence, rapes and other tragedies. The film explains how these women from many homelands all ultimately ended up on the Central Coast, where they found and joined Mingaletta. Mingaletta chief executive Ms Dianne O’Brien said the documentary was commissioned from a Central Coast Council grant.

She said it was conceived in last year’s Naidoc Week as an attempt to preserve the stories, both personal and cultural, of the women known as “Aunties”. “The Aunties continue to give back their time and energy working to provide ongoing community services, particularly by educating our next generation,” Ms O’Brien said.

“They believe in the sanctity of Aboriginal lore and culture, and are committed unconditionally through the wisdom and generosity of their thoughts, words and deeds.” The premiere is being introduced by Australia’s first female Aboriginal federal MP Linda Burney and will be shown on Friday, July 12, to invited guests and the public is invited to join

them at no cost. The two hour film starts at 11am and is part of events at 6 Sydney Ave, Umina Beach, from 10am to 3pm, including dancing, facepainting, basket weaving, music and information stalls. SOURCE: Media Release, 25 Jun 2019 Dianne O’Brien, Mingaletta ATSIC

Mountain bike trails proposed for national park Ms Joanne Hayes being transported to Royal North Shore

Dedicated mountain bike trails could be developed under a new plan of management for Bouddi National Park. The draft plan notes cycling would only be allowed in zone two, not the more coastal zone one. The proposal comes in response to the construction of a network of illegal mountain bike tracks, which the report noted was a growing issue. The draft report said the service would engage with the mountain biking community to develop sustainable mountain biking opportunities after investigating options for biking opportunities in the park. The investigation is a priority one (to be achieved within three years) while the plan itself is a

priority three (within 10 years). “The development of mountain bike tracks will be subject to environmental impact assessment (under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979), compliance with NPWS policies and public consultation,’’ according to the report. “Mountain biking opportunities will not be considered within zone one (conservation). “The conservation zone has been mapped to protect fragile vegetation communities, soils and cultural values.” The mountain bike actions are two of 76 actions in the draft plan’s scheme of operation.

Real estate employee mauled by dogs during inspection A real estate employee has been seriously mauled by two dogs while undertaking a property inspection in Umina. Ms Joanne Hayes, a 49-yearold property manager at Wiseberry Peninsula in Umina, was attending a pre-booked inspection of a home on Australia Ave, at around 10am on June 20, when she was set upon by two bull mastiffs at the premises. It is understood that the tenant was not present for the inspection. Ms Hayes suffered injuries to both her legs and arms, before neighbours came to her aid after

hearing her cries for help. She was flown to Royal North Shore Hospital by CareFlight helicopter after initial treatment from NSW Ambulance paramedics. Wiseberry Peninsula director Mr Troy Howe said Ms Hayes was recovering well in hospital. “Jo has undergone several operations and is in good spirits,” he said. “We were deeply shocked when we learned what happened and we thank the community for their ongoing support. “Jo in particular has been heartened to learn how many members of the community, some

with no links to the business, have dropped into the real estate to ask after her recovery,” Mr Howe said. Wiseberry Peninsula has been operating for seven years without incident. Mr Howe said safety was at the forefront of the agency’s ethos and a full review of procedures had occurred since Ms Hayes was attacked. The two dogs were euthanised after being surrendered to Central Coast Council rangers.

Tourism group welcomes Council plan Peninsula Tourism Partners has welcomed Central Coast Council’s adoption of a draft Tourism Opportunity Plan, which aims to boost tourism in the region by $70 million. Partners president Ms Kim Cole said: “We absolutely love the direction the Council is taking with their Tourism Opportunity Plan to

promote the Central Coast Region as a vibrant magnetically attractive place to live, work and visit.” The plan, which aims for the long-term viability and sustainability of tourism for the Central Coast, will soon be on exhibition for public comment. Among the short term projects identified in the plan are a food and beverage exploration trail; art and

sculpture trail; twilight economy; heritage tourism; educational eco hub and indigenous experience; nature-based attractions and experiences such as bike paths, walkways, trails and pathway infrastructure highlighting arts, culture, heritage. A staff report to the Council said the major challenge to grow the tourism market was to change

perceptions about what the Central Coast offered. The core challenges, according to the report, were an “embedded negative perception problem, monetisation (many activities are low dollar spends such as walking or the beach), depth and range of accommodation, lack of wow factor, low pride-in-place, poorly supported arts, culture and music

scene and no night-time economy”. A marketing campaign was underway with a new comprehensive guide of activities, attractions, accommodation, restaurants and retail via a new website. The report also stated that the region needed a thread to pull the region together in a “brand” which is woven into all marketing and communications to the three target groups of visitors, businesses and residents. New investment was needed to create new reasons for people to visit, the report says. This could be achieved through collaborative industry marketing, packaging of products such as accommodation and activities, and building strategic partnerships, for instance tapping into the NSW Food and Wine Tourism Strategy and maximising funding options through The Destination Sydney Surrounds North Destination Management Plan. Ms Cole said the Peninsula Tourism Partners group was keen to support the plan. She said there was great incentive for businesses and member of the community to be involved in “1000 Little Things” small projects that would improve the visitor experience. “What excites our team the most is that the Council have identified what makes the Central Coast different to other regions,” she said. “Yes, we have beautiful beaches and national parks but what is our point of difference? “The end result is that we are a region rich of makers and creators: Artists, sculptors, musicians, actors. “We support these findings and are looking forward in helping Council promote the Central Coast with their new plans.” She said Peninsula Tourism Partners was looking for new and creative ideas to draw in tourists. Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch has encouraged local business owners to join the discussion. “We’re all trying to promote tourism to ensure our local businesses remain successful, and now we are coming together to pool our efforts,” Ms Tesch said. “To do this we need new innovative ideas which is why the Peninsula Tourism Partners and I are calling on business owners and tourism operators to come together so the whole area benefits from the growth.” Ms Tesch said that, despite being the new kids on the block, Peninsula Tourism Partners already had a strong track record in bringing increased tourism to the area. “With many plans in the works, they have their sights set on making an impact.” SOURCE: Central Coast Council agenda 4.6, 24 Jun 2019 Media Statement, 4 Jul 2019 Kim Cole, Peninsula Tourism Partners Media Release, 4 Jul 2019 Liesl Tesch, Member for Gosford

Comments sought on Bouddi park management plan National Park has spectacular rocky-cliff headlands, rock platforms, bays, beaches, barrier dunes and lagoons. It includes 287 hectares of ocean floor and overlying offshore waters known as the Bouddi Marine Extension. There are significant naturebased tourism and recreational opportunities in Bouddi National Park including camping, fishing, beach activities, bushwalking including the Bouddi Coastal Walk, mountain bike riding, birdwatching, photography and nature study. Over 600 plant species within 22 vegetation communities have been recorded within the park, including five threatened plant species and many others of regional conservation significance. The diversity of habitats in the park supports populations of 275 native vertebrate species: 135 bird species, 49 mammals (including five marine mammals), 30 reptiles, 11 frogs and more than 50 fish. Of these, 34 species are listed as threatened under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. After the plan of management is adopted, all operations and activities in the park must be in line with the plan. The report notes the current plan of management was approved in 1985. The draft plan has been updated to take account of new information and plans guiding fire, pest, weed and threatened species

National Parks and Wildlife Service is seeking public comments on a draft plan of management for Bouddi National Park. Public exhibition of the draft plan provides an opportunity for the community to have a say in the future management of Bouddi National Park. The national park is the only national park in NSW that includes marine ocean environments and takes in Maitland Bay, Rileys Bay and Tallow Beach, relatively natural catchments which the report notes are rare in the Sydney and Central Coast regions. Significant landscape includes Box Head, Bombi Point and Mourawaring Point. The draft plan was prepared as two separate documents: a background paper on “draft planning considerations” and the draft plan of management itself. The draft states that Bouddi National Park is significant because of its natural and cultural values. The park lies within the traditional Country of the Guringai and Darkinjung people. More than 70 Aboriginal sites containing more than 200 objects have been recorded in the park and nearby areas. It includes diverse landscapes from beaches and steep cliffs through to rainforest and heathland. The coastline in Bouddi

The new plan proposes to deliver a mountain bike plan which may be implemented after environmental assessment and public exhibition. It aims to investigate and protect important clay heathlands and threatened ecological communities. It expects to improve management of the Bouddi Marine Extension. It seeks to add further management, protection and interpretation of Aboriginal values and sites in consultation with the Aboriginal community. It proposes to protect shared historic sites including relic noninvasive exotic species. It aims to monitor for the impacts of sea level rise and respond where possible. It supports volunteer involvement in the management of the park. It proposes better use and enjoyment of park facilities including an iconic coastal walk.

Mains cleaning at Umina Heights and Pearl Beach Residents at Umina Heights and Pearl Beach may experience dirty water over the next week or so, as Central Coast Council continues its water mains cleaning program in the area between July 12 and 15. Council acting director Mr Jamie Loader said new technology would be used to ensure water was not wasted and disruption to the community was minimal. “Council undertakes regular maintenance of our water mains to ensure the continued high quality delivery of this essential service to the community,” he said.

“We are using a new technology that treats and then recycles the treated water back into the mains, ensuring minimal water is wasted during the process – something that is essential as we head closer to the introduction of Level 1 water restrictions for the region.” Mr Loader said work would be conducted between 8am and 5pm at Umina Heights on July 12 and 13, and Pearl Beach on July 14 and 15. “We will implement a range of measures to reduce the impact on the community,” he said. Central Coast mayor Cr Jane Smith said Council balances the need to use water and maintain the

system, with using the latest water saving technology. “If we all practise short and long-term water conservation behaviours now, together we may be able to avoid reaching the very low dam levels which saw us on stringent Level 4 water restrictions during the Millennium Drought,” Cr Smith said. If residents experience discoloured water, residents are advised to run the front garden tap into a bucket for 30 seconds to check if the water clears. If it doesn’t, they should wait one hour and repeat the process. Once water from the front tap is clear, residents should run their

The average annual water bill is expected to fall by around $330 in the former Gosford local government area following a recent decision by the NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal. As well, residents and customers in the former Gosford LGA will receive their water bills quarterly instead of bi-annually, in line with the same cycle already in place in the former Wyong LGA. Central Coast Council will also move the stormwater drainage charge, which current appears on the rates account for Peninsula residents, to the water account – again reflecting what is already in place in the former Wyong LGA. Council chief financial officer Mr Craig Norman said while these changes would not impact the bottom line of the consumer, but was another example of how the Council was aligning some of its essential services and “moving forward as One Central Coast”. “Unifying our water billing across the region ensures consistency for our community,” Mr Norman said. He said spreading water charges across four bills, instead of two, made bills “more

manageable, helping to reduce bill shock and ease financial pressure for a number of residents and customers. “A more frequent bill can also help residents budget better as well as identify leaks more readily to ensure we are all using our water responsibly.” While welcoming the streamlining of services and lower water prices, mayor Cr Jane Smith has encouraged continued wise water use. “We must remember that like most of NSW, the Central Coast is affected by drought and we encourage everyone to continue to use water wisely.” Cr Smith said the Tribunal’s recent determination should see the annual water bill for a typical household in the former Gosford LGA fall by about $330 in 2019-20, and a typical bill for a household in the former Wyong LGA fall by about $150 per year, depending on water usage. If residents or customers have any questions about their next water bill, she encouraged them to visit centralcoast.nsw.gov.au/ mywaterbill or to phone 1300 463 954.

Permission sought for underground tanks The owner of a site where Central Coast Council has refused to permit a fence has now sought permission for two underground rainwater tanks.

The owner Mr Tony Denny has taken the fence refusal to the Land and Environment Court. Permission for the underground tanks was originally sought in April. The application initially included a request for an equestrian arena but an amended statement of environmental effects submitted in June only mentions the tanks. The applicant CEO Architectural said the proposal would involve excavating and earthworks and concrete structures. Public submissions on the council website DA Tracker show opposition to the development. One submission said the amended statement still had insufficient information to permit a proper and adequate assessment. It said the application described the proposal as including two water tanks while the plan only showed one. It provided for a depth of 2.4m for the tank yet it describes the necessary excavation as minimal and identifies the site as class 5 for acid sulphate soils, increasing the likelihood of intersection with those soils at such a depth. The submission said the tanks were said to be for rainwater but there was no nearby structure to

allow this to occur. It also mentioned that water would be extracted from an approved bore to be drilled yet no detail of this approval was provided. The comment added that Water NSW needed to be consulted. SOURCE: DA Tracker, 3 Jul 2019 DA 56341, Central Coast Council

towards ensuring that Clown Doctors can continue to spread joy and laughter to some of the most vulnerable members of our community, sick and injured kids,” Ms Bowtell said. Ms Bowtell, an active member of the Country Women’s Association Woy Woy branch, will raise money

Council approves five applications Central Coast Council has approved five recent development applications on the Peninsula. Council has given consent to DA55579 for applicant S Sardi to build four townhouses at 6 Flounder Rd, Ettalong Beach. The home on the property will be demolished. The two-storey townhouses will include a total of six car spaces. The proposal showed a noncomplying ceiling height of 2.59m rather than complying 2.7m.

Springwood St, Ettalong Beach, has been approved by Central Coast Council. The council assessment said the site was under construction. It received approval in April 2011 to build six units and the current proposal was to strata subdivide these six. Under a separate application, a house at 41 Melbourne Ave, Umina Beach, is to be demolished. Council gave consent on June 24 to DA56640 from Complete Demolition Pty Ltd. Under DA56314, a house will be demolished and new dwelling built at 3 Osborne Ave, Umina Beach.

Council has given the applicant Knight Mapleton Design Partners, on behalf of owners P and F Stucken, permission to construct a new single storey home on the property. Consent was given on May 14.

New house subject to council approval A new house will be built at 19 Killcare Rd, Killcare, and the old home demolished if council approves a development application from Fiona Brodie Design on behalf of applicant Joshua Canellis. The proposal meets the council’s guidelines except for

exceeding the building height by half a metre at the highest point. Less than four per cent of the roof exceeds the height. The application says the proposed building height “appears to almost comply with what would have been the original ground line”. It argues that the height complies with the objectives set out

in Clause 3.1.2. of the development control plan as the proposal is compatible with the height, bulk and scale of the existing and desired character of the area and says the amenity of neighbouring properties is protected with no disturbance in terms of access to sunlight, privacy and views.

Helen Ferguson succumbs to injuries Long-time Pretty Beach resident Ms Helen Ferguson died on July 1 in Royal North Shore hospital after succumbing to injuries from a car accident on June 5.

Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association announced the news to the community last week. In a joint statement, outgoing president Ms Peta Colebatch and incoming president Mr Mike Allsop said: “It is sad but appropriate to recount Helen’s long and various contributions to the community. “Helen used to walk the Dog Track and Pretty Beach waterfront, picking up rubbish as she went, many years ago, and for over 20 years gave bridge lessons. “She then turned this activity into the Bridge Club with its regulars every Friday, where she gave much helpful advice, including the encouraging comment ‘and the penny will drop’ to one beginner. “She retained her keen mind and interest in bridge to the end of her life. “She was also an avid golf

Draft park plan includes climate change responses The draft plan of management for Bouddi National Park proposes responses to probable effects of climate change. The draft mentions that projected increases in temperature, number of hot days and severe fire weather days are likely to influence bushfire frequency and intensity across the Hunter Central Coast. “Coastal erosions and hazards

are also likely to increase,’’ the draft says. “Potential consequences within the park include damage to infrastructure in low-lying areas at Putty Beach and Little Beach, and erosion and slumping at Lobster Beach. “Species most at risk are those unable to migrate or adapt, particularly those with small population sizes or with slow growth rates. Low-lying coastal

ecosystems and fragmented ecosystems are at highest risk. “Programs to reduce the pressures arising from other threats, such as habitat fragmentation, invasive species, bushfires and pollution, will help reduce the severity of the effects of climate change.”

The Peninsula News edition 472 raises Central Coast Council’s plan for a one kilometre radius around Woy Woy to be designated medium density residential. The built form will be a low to medium rise development with a focus on town houses and villa development. Under the Department of Planning’s definition of medium density housing, this could mean dual occupancies, manor houses (buildings of between two to four dwellings) and multi dwellings houses (terraces, town houses and villas). Under the code, certain types of medium density housing would be classified as “complying development”, making it much easier for landowners and developers to gain development approval, but the code will apply only in areas where medium density housing is allowed under planning laws developed by councils. The NSW Planning department imposed this medium density housing proposal on all councils with a July 1 deadline. Both Save our Suburbs, a

See Page 2 for contribution conditions Sydney based organization, and Chris Johnson, the chief executive of the Urban Taskforce, have come out in opposition to this planning approach, on the basis it will result in widespread change to the character of our suburbs and in our case on the Central Coast, of our towns and villages. The NSW Government is advocating for a medium density of low-rise but bulky, multi-density housing inserted extensively. I believe that the proliferation of medium-density, low-rise dwellings will generate more car congestion and will forever change the local character.

It may be a one kilometre radius today, but it may be extended further in the future. Woy Woy is at risk of being transformed by medium density housing, losing its village appeal and tourist attraction. I am concerned about the potential loss of the distinctive and variable architectural character of our houses and our gardens. The pause button needs to be pushed on Central Coast rezoning. Sydney is facing a glut of apartments. According to the Sydney Morning Herald (June 11) about 54,000 apartments built between 2018 and 2019 are about to flood the market and this, combined with low buyer and tenant activity, will lead to an oversupply of units. It also (June 22-23, 2019) reported that another 140,000 will be built in the next five years. While Central Coast Council would like to see more working opportunities, providing key services to surrounding communities, the reality is that now and for the foreseeable future, most Woy Woy residents commute to Sydney for employment.

Climate change policy is a winner Central Coast Council’s draft climate change policy is a winner. There is no doubt that climate change is happening and the consequences of it are affecting our daily lives here on the Peninsula. Record temperatures over the most recent summer bears witness this. To deny climate change is folly in the extreme. The time for opinion is over. The time to act is almost too late. Thankfully, Central Coast Council’s deliberation of its draft climate change policy on Monday, July 8, after many months of community consultation, ushers in a new phase in how we can work together to tackle the effect of climate change on the Peninsula. I commend the climate change draft policy as a practical and valid document that will see Council join the vanguard of Australian local councils as they grapple with the reality of climate change and how they can best serve their ratepayers by making practical policy decisions to reduce their carbon emissions as well as sending a clear message that businesses and households can

The development of a climate change action plan, with relevant strategies that outline actions on climate change within the Central Coast community, and development, business and industry sectors, is essential. Council should take advantage of the opportunities that the reality of a carbon-constrained future presents to us, particularly in the business and industry sectors where local firms will be able to participate in the exponential growth of the renewable energy sector. Council support for the uptake

of renewable energy, particularly solar panel installations, which are now more affordable than ever, whether on rooftops, in solar farms or solar gardens, will deliver huge savings on electricity prices to its ratepayers, as well as drastically reduce carbon emissions. This is an eminently sensible policy and will, ultimately, save Peninsula residents money and angst. I would like to challenge Council to consider an even more ambitious target of achieving net zero emissions by 2030 rather than the modest goal of doing so by 2050. Already we see communities across Australia, such as Monash University, the City of Sydney and the ACT, whose population is equivalent to that of the Central Coast LGA, aiming for that goal. By implementing a strong climate change action plan, Council will become a leader in pragmatic and productive climate change policy that will shine as an example to other local councils. The adage “Act local, think global” most certainly applies to the Peninsula. Email, 1 Jul 2019 Gregory John Olsen, Empire Bay

Umina resident shaves her head A Umina resident shaved her head on July 6 to raise funds for charity. Ms Carolyn Glover shaved her head to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation through the World’s Greatest Shave fundraiser. Ms Glover said she was inspired to shave her head after losing two friends to cancer-related illness in the past 12 months. “Shaving to raise money to help fight blood cancer is something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. “It will be a challenge over winter, but if it helps to raise awareness and money it will all be worth it. “It is a small challenge compared to living with blood cancer,” Ms Glover said. Ms Glover welcomed the public to her yoga studio to watch and donate as her head was shaved. SOURCE: Media release, 24 Jun 2019 Carolyn Glover, Umina Beach Yoga Studio

Defibrillators installed in supermarkets Automated external defibrillators have been recently been installed in supermarkets on the Peninsula. This devices are designed to be usable by anyone in the sudden event of a cardiac arrest, with the device providing voice instructions about its use.

Woolworths Woy Woy and Umina group manager Mr Martin Allison said: “We are pleased to have a defibrillator installed in our store which everyone can have access to. “You never know when a sudden cardiac arrest might strike and in the unfortunate event that it does, having the local community able to access this treatment, could help to save lives.” Mr Allision quoted Professor Jamie Vandenberg from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute as saying: “Sudden cardiac arrests are usually fatal if action isn’t taken immediately. “It’s critical all Australians are equipped with the skills to act quickly in these circumstances; the first three to five minutes holds the key to survival. “Access to a defibrillator can mean the difference between saving or losing a life. “A defibrillator delivers a therapeutic dose of electrical currents to the heart, giving a person their best chance of survival. “Unfortunately, there are often no warning signs for

a cardiac arrest, and it can happen to young people as well as older people

regardless of gender.” Mr Allison said Woolworths Woy Woy and Umina had both received

defibrillators as part of a regional rollout of the devices across all Woolworths locations.

Brisbane Water Secondary College’s farm has welcomed new twin lambs in late May. The twins are being handled by Year 7 agriculture students who have been enjoying bottle feeding the pair. Newly appointed campus principal Ms Kerrie O’Heir said the lambs were healthy and growing well. She said their popularity was to be expected. “You can never have enough cute lamb feeding photos,” she said.

Umina Beach Public School has farewelled its long-time crossing supervisor Ms Sue Hickey. Ms Hickey has been supervising the school crossing on Hobart Ave for the past 18 years but donned her vest for the last time on July 5. Principal Ms Lyn Davis said Ms Hickey had been a much loved member of the school community and would be missed.

you on a journey to the deep south, where the Delta blues was born, and then through the ages and styles from past to present. In his show, Mark incorporates instruments such as the resonator guitar with slide, cigar box guitar, and a stomp box to keep the beat. He uses a unique picking style he learnt from Brother John from the Blues Preachers. Mark will be joined by, Eric K. Betts, on blues harp and vocals to create a versatile and dynamic sound, and, David Rowlands, on washboard to create a trio. Eric and David have both had considerable experience with many blues bands and are masters of their art.

Blast From the Past Blues Band

OAM, lead vocals; Alfredo Zotti on piano and Hammond; Alan Nash on Drums; and, Ian Hyden on bass.

Traditional Graffiti 3.45pm – 4.45pm ‘Traditional Graffiti’ is the roots music experience that evolved out of Australia’s ever-popular gang of English ex-pats, the Wheeze & Suck Band. Ian ‘The Pump’ Macintosh (Melodeon, guitar, Harp), John ‘Red Tips’ Milce (Percussion, jokes) and Nigel ‘Muddy’ Waters (Mandolin, Cello Mandolin, Harp & Guitar), continue their unique readings of traditional, ceremonial and contemporary roots material. After re-emerging in 2018 following the end of the Wheeze & Suck Band’s successful 7 albums and 22 years of activity, Traditional Graffiti has appeared at many festivals and clubs around NSW, and released a new album, ‘Traditional Graffiti 1’, in May, 2019.

Blast from the Past is a band made up of professional jazz and blues musicians that play in other bands. They get together occasionally to play some jazz and blues such as is the case for this year’s Jazz and Blues Festival at the Diggers Club, The Entrance. The members of this great quintet are: Ian Mason on guitar; Helena Brunner

Jack Derwin Trio 5pm – 6pm On slide, resonator, unique vocals and

rack harp, add some progressions over amplified finger style and stomp box, you have Jack Derwin performing an eclectic blend of blues covers and originals. He gives an audience the best in nu kool blues & roots with a dynamic edge. His recent album, ‘Umina Blue’, charted at no 8 on the Australian blues and roots charts. With a slew of festivals right around Australia, NZ and Asia scattered behind him, 3 chain award nominations for best album, song and male vocalist, songs on global collections and Qantas playlists, Jack’s eclectic song list, pitches somewhere between non-purist old school blues, outback sunsets and urban lights and themes. Jack brings his performance to the festival with two brilliant musicians, Warren Ambrose on 5 string bass guitar, and local resident, Mick Huxley on drums and percussion.

MC and vocalist, Paul Wilson, is mostly known around the Coast for running the Big Blues Jams that attract large numbers of outstanding musicians. Paul is joined by Andrew Webster, a noted jazz guitarist, Warren Henry, a well known author with a drumming pedigree, and multi-instrumentalist, Walter de Jong, who has the uncanny ability to provide a perfect harmony in any song, any genre, at the same time as he plays Hammond organ. And it’s all anchored by, Mick Field, who’s played bass for an extensive list of Melbourne blues bands.

BluesAngels Saturday, July 13 7.30pm – 8.30pm

The Squeezers

Two Buck Blues Band 6.15pm – 7.15pm The Two Buck Band mostly plays what some people describe as cool blues, an eclectic style that moves between jazz, county, zydeco and rockabilly, but with a story. Frequently this “story” takes them into unexpected places, both musically and narratively, which is part of the reason people follow them, and why they play together.

8.45pm – 9.45pm The Squeezers’ music is best described as “swingin’ rhythm and blues, with a touch of soul”. Several years ago, the Squeezers started performing in addition to the Lemon Squeezin’ Daddies, with a similar but different repertoire, occasionally a bit bluesier and always a bit more relaxed, but with the same focus on fun and entertainment. The core of the Squeezers repertoire is “swing blues”. Think of this as being at the crossroad where blues meets jazz and rock n roll.

Because the music blends all these elements, it has a broad and immediate appeal to just about everyone. Although every Squeezers’ performance is a show in itself, the band is ideal with a crowd that likes to get up and dance.

Blues Wranglers 10pm – 11pm After jamming together at the Central Coast Blues Society in 2015, Les(Birdman)Blundell (harmonica) and Trent Taylor (guitar & vox) formed a duo. In 2016, they were joined by, Dan Batton guitar) and, Belinda Taylor (keys), followed by bass and drums, and began playing numerous venues across the Central Coast. In 2018, a lineup change brought in, Wayne Lawler(bass) and Al Smith (drums). With a diverse range of Blues tunes from the classics to the early Blues tracks of ZZ Top and Fleetwood Mac, with moody melodies to foot stomping rhythm and more, you are sure to get your Blues fix.

IT’S SALE TIME!

Former student designs indigenous rugby jersey Former Brisbane Water Secondary College student Mr Dylan Barnes has had his design featured on the NSW Waratahs inaugural indigenous rugby jersey. Mr Barnes, from Empire Bay, is a self-taught Wiradjuri artist. His design was chosen after a recommendation to NSW Rugby by the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience. Mr Barne’s design was worn by the Waratahs during their Super Rugby clash earlier this year. Waratah’s player Kurtley Beale praised Mr Barnes’ design and said the jerseys provided some welcome visibility to the indigenous communities of NSW. “I’ve always had a passion to be able to push forward my culture and raise awareness at such a platform,” Kurtley Beale said. “For the Waratahs to be able to recognise and acknowledge our culture is extremely powerful and hopefully we can continue this.” He said the design had “15 of these small circles that resemble the players on the field and the lines in between, linking them all together as one to tie in with Reconciliation Week which is a big part of our history.

“It’s another great opportunity to do that on the weekend, bringing together indigenous and nonindigenous players to celebrate a special week and take us in the direction we all want to go.” The jerseys have since been auctioned by the Waratahs to raise funds for the Richard Tombs

Out&About Blues Across the Bay plans progress well Planning for the 18th Patonga Blues Across the Bay music festival is progressing well, according to organisers. The festival will start on November 2 and the artist line-up will include Russell Morris, Steve Weston and Minnie Marks. The festival is organised by Patonga Blues Committee, a subcommittee of the Patonga Sport and Community Club. The club coordinates several events around the Patonga area with Blues Across the Bay being one of their most enduring successes. Patonga Blues committee member Mr Ray Laboyrie said the annual event was accessible only by water, with most patrons travelling by ferry. It drew boat-owning blues lovers, who took advantage of the boat-friendly Patonga village to enjoy a day of jazz, roots and blues music, he said. Prospective festival goers were encouraged to check the festival’s website for information about travelling to and from the event, including boat access and anchoring locations. Speaking about the performers, Mr Laboyrie said: “Fifty years ago, Russell Morris became the first Australian artist to score consecutive number one singles with his first two releases, The Real Thing, which is one of the classic psychedelic singles of the 60s, and

Part Three into Paper Walls. “Both reached the top spot on the ARIA Chart, and what followed was one of the most prolific careers in contemporary Australian music,” Mr Laboyrie said. Mr Laboyrie said Steve “West” Weston had a solid claim to being London’s top harmonica man. “His tone is extraordinary, as is his taste and style, and within his chosen field, old style ChicagoWest Coast harp playing. “His work on the harp is at once deep in the tradition of harmonica masters Sonny Boy Williamson II and Little Walter, while at the same time pushing that tradition forward.”

Joining Weston as his touring band is Tomcat Playground. Mr Laboyrie said Minnie Marks rounded out the line-up. “Minnie is not just some blazingly electrified acoustic guitar playing freak of nature, but also a rare triple threat,” he said. “As a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, her set will take you on a dizzying, riff rock rollercoaster ride with songs written over the past years of her musical journey around the world.” Mr Laboyrie said tickets were available and were expected to sell out fast.

Three artists announced for art show The Bays Community Group has announced three of the local artists who will exhibit at The Bay’s Art Show.

Comedy club to perform at eisteddfod Umina Beach Public School’s Comedy Club will perform at the Central Coast Eisteddfod during the July school holidays. “Over the weekend of July 13 and 14, a group of students from the Comedy Club will be travelling to Gosford Uniting Church to perform in the Central Coast Eisteddfod,” said club director Mr Greg Buist. “They are entered in both the solo and group improvisation sections where the students are given a topic and two minutes of preparation before then they have

to perform for a maximum of three minutes. “The purpose of entering the Eisteddfod is not to win trophies, but for it to be a positive experience for all the students. “This is the third year that the Comedy Club has competed at the Eisteddfod. “I will be accompanying the students who I am sure will represent our school admirably,” Mr Buist said.

Umina Beach Public School dancers

Peninsula students attend dance festival Students from Umina Beach Public School performed in the 30th annual Central Coast Dance Festival. The festival ran from June 24 through to July 4 and saw hundreds of dancers from public schools across the Central Coast take to the Laycock Theatre’s stage over eight performances. The 2019 festival marked the 30th anniversary of the event and celebrated three decades of dance, creativity and community amongst the region’s public primary and high schools.

Other schools on the Peninsula that took part in this year’s festival were Woy Woy South Public School, Pretty Beach Public School, Woy Woy Public School and both campuses of Brisbane Water Secondary College. Umina Beach Public School principal Ms Lyn Davis said the Umina dancers dazzled the audience with their vibrant costumes and energetic performance.

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.

Classifieds advertising rates in print and on-line Classified advertising is the cheapest form of newspaper advertising. This newspaper is published on line on the night before publication date, and is read that way by hundreds of people. All advertisements, including these classified advertising pages, appear in full on-line as an additional benefit for free.

ALL ELECTRICAL AND DATA RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL

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.

Women’s soccer clubs both win

Ettalong was up against the East Gosford Rams in their Round 12 fixture. Ettalong hosted the Rams with the match being shifted from James Browne Oval to Pat Morley Oval after a pitch inspection found the field to be unplayable. “Level on points with Kanwal, Southern were looking to keep pace with the leaders and started the match well as they forged a number of good opportunities within the opening 15 minutes, with the final touch often the only thing stopping them finding an early lead,’ said Central Coast Football’s digital content coordinator Mr Lachlan Herd. “East Gosford began to gradually grow into the match after weathering the early storm and found themselves with a number of opportunities to open the scoring. “Southern keeper Bec Arnfield thwarted the Rams attackers on more than one occasion to ensure the sides remained locked at 0-0 at the half. “Similar to the first half, Southern emerged from half-time looking the more likely to open the scoring. “Intent not to let another period of dominance pass them by, Southern did find the breakthrough after Bianca Mason finished smartly into the side netting to give

her side the lead after 55 minutes. “Mason was to be on hand again just eight minutes later, taking control of an angled pass before taking a touch and finishing well to double the Lions lead. “As the second half progressed it became apparent that the Rams side were beginning to tire, and Southern were to take full advantage. “After winning a 50-50 challenge, the ball was played into Kiara Kelly who made no mistake, ensuring her side would take home all three points from the fixture,” Mr Herd said. Umina slaughtered Kariong in their Round 12 fixture, taking away an easy 8-3 win. “Third placed Umina have been desperate to continue closing the gap between themselves and the top two, so their performance in Round 12 was no surprise, scoring two early goals to effectively put the match on ice in the early exchanges,” Mr Herd said. “The Umina side ultimately ran out 8-3 winners on the day, with Amber Mangan managing a hattrick, Sally Oman a brace, and one each to Kate Styles, Bianca Meiklejohn, and Tarni Black.” Round 12 result sees Umina hold onto third with Ettalong in second behind Kanwal. Round 13 will be a neighbour versus neighbour thriller with the Peninsula clubs set to meet at Umina Oval. SOURCE: Website, 4 Jul 2019 Lachlan Herd, Central Coast Football
