Consultation on intersection upgrade ‘in six months’ Community consultation is expected to take place within six months on a concept design for an upgrade to the roundabout at the intersection of Rawson Rd with Ocean Beach Rd. The initial concept would be for traffic lights incorporating pedestrian crossings. Central Coast Council received a federal government promise during the recent federal election campaign of $16.5million for the intersection upgrade. Cr Richard Mehrtens asked for an update on the matter at the June 11 council meeting. The answer was given at the August 12 meeting. Roads unit manager Ms Jeanette Williams wrote the report which said the project had some complexity due to the constrained environment which would require

negotiation with utility providers and nearby property owners. This would likely result in relocation and possible acquisition costs. Initial concept design proposals for the upgrade had been undertaken, with the preferred option being a “signalised intersection including pedestrian walk phasing”. “Discussions with utility providers and neighbouring property owners will be undertaken, prior to community consultation taking place,’’ the report said. “It is anticipated that the community consultation will occur in late 2019 or early 2020.” Ms Williams said the upgrade was a priority and would “address congestion, traffic and safety concerns”.

The roundabout at the intersection that is to be upgraded

Peninsula has hottest suburbs on the Coast Ettalong, Umina, Booker Bay and parts of Woy Woy are the hottest suburbs on the Central Coast, all measuring more than four degrees above average, a new report has found. The area of tree canopy cover at Woy Woy declined by 173 hectares between 2005 and 2014, while the area of impervious surfaces increased by 84 hectares and unplantable space increased by 113 hectares. Woy Woy contained the greatest area of impervious cover on the Coast at 3.94 square kilometres followed by Umina at 3.54 square kilometres. The Peninsula as a whole now has less than 10 per cent tree canopy cover. Those are the figures provided in Central Coast Council’s draft Greener Places Strategy which is now open for public comment. A consultants’ report within the strategy states that “this pattern of land cover change, particularly

the significant tree canopy loss, has substantial implications for the future liveability … and the health and well-being” of the urban environment and the local community. The strategy states Woy Woy’s land area as 22.9 square kilometres (2290 hectares), while Wikipedia puts it at six square kilometres (600 hectares). The report states: “The suburb of Woy Woy contains two lobes, one urban (eastern) and one vegetated (western). Considered individually, the urban lobe may be one of the hottest in the council (area).” It noted that Woy Woy had a relatively low level of canopy cover, but it would have been even lower if a large area of Brisbane Water National Park was not included. Blackwall, Booker Bay, Ettalong Beach, St Hubert’s Island, Umina Beach and Woy Woy were among the top 18 suburbs identified for planting to increase their tree canopy. Urban heat island mapping has

shown that on hot days the forest within Blackwall Mountain is more than four degrees cooler than urban housing in Ettalong Beach. In the five years between 2013 and 2018, the report found that temperatures at Ettalong and Booker Bay had increased further compared to background levels in bushland. Ettalong increased by 2.6 degrees while Booker Bay increased by 1.8 degrees. Urban development was the primary cause for warmer suburbs, according to the report prepared by Seed Consulting Services which was included in the draft. The report said dark coloured, impervious surfaces such as bitumen roads and dark roofs could absorb large amounts of heat, while artificial turf, rubber soft fall matting used in playgrounds, and bare ground could also be amongst the hottest land surface types in an urban landscape. “Importantly for the urban heat island effect, bitumen roads retain this heat into the evening and re-

radiate heat well into the night. “In contrast, green space featuring living turf were cooler than average during the day and night.” About 74 per cent of the Central Coast consists of native vegetation, of which about half occurs in conservation areas managed as reserves, State Forests and National Parks. Outside of these areas, urban trees may provide habitat for other threatened species, the report said. These included the eastern osprey which may roost or nest in very tall Norfolk Island pines in the Blackwall area or the greyheaded flying fox, swift parrot and little lorikeet which may forage on flowering eucalypts. The report said urban forests may act as a stepping stone between patches of bushland, allowing wildlife to disperse or migrate across the region. The strategy proposes mechanisms to “sustain and enhance the urban forest canopy

across all land parcels in the urban suburbs”. It aims to increase the level of tree planting in the 18 priority suburbs with the greatest level of Urban Heat Island Effect; It will implement successional planting in Council passive open space reserves; Public trees that are removed would be replaced by planting two new trees in the same suburb. Private developers would be required to complete “high quality landscaping” in medium and high density development through future changes to Council’s Development Control Plan. More information may be found and submissions about the strategy may be made at www.yourvoiceourcoast.com/ GreeningCentralCoast The draft strategy is on public exhibition until September 5.

New fencing has been installed at the Council’s cafe at Woy Woy Oval in an attempt to make it more attractive to potential lessees. The cafe has been vacant since the oval and grandstand was redeveloped by Council in 2016, despite Council efforts to tender its lease. A total of $46,000 will be spent on upgrades, which include the installation of an all-weather surface and children’s play area. Council unit manager Mr Phil Cantillon said: “Council has undertaken upgrades to Woy Woy oval cafe following recommendations from operators

St Luke’s Anglican Church has a new look

St Luke’s unveils new stained glass windows Woy Woy’s St Luke’s Anglican Church has unveiled its new stained glass windows. The 44 windows depict religious symbols and theological concepts and have been installed in blocks over the past two years. The final pieces were unveiled on July 6 during an opening ceremony conducted by Woy Woy Parish rector Father Michael Davies. The artist behind the windows project is Fr Michael’s wife Ms Alexandra Banks. She said it had been a labour of love, years in the making. A self-taught artist, Ms Banks is currently completing her PhD at St Francis Theological College and said it was hard to believe the project was finally complete. “It’s taken me a couple weeks to

get my head around the idea that it’s finished but it is and I couldn’t be happier,” she said. An innovator in the glass art field, Ms Banks said each panel she created for the project paid homage to the intricate techniques of celebrated Australian stained glass artist Leonard French. The windows had already attracted many compliments from the community and it’s hoped the new feature will, in time, become a new icon for Woy Woy. “There’s nothing like this anywhere else on the Central Coast and it’s been really encouraging to hear people talking about the art and the stories they represent,” Ms Banks said. The windows are designed to draw in light and will dazzle and refract even on the cloudiest of days.

to increase the lease potential of the site. “Council has committed funds to install fencing to enclose the area, and a children’s play area,” he said. “Fencing works have now been completed and the new play area will be undertaken later in the year. “On completion of the upgrades, Council will engage with an agent to secure a suitable tenant to run a commercially viable, sustainable and vibrant business that delivers economic and social benefits for the community,” he said.

The riot broke out at around 8:30pm on Sunday, July 21, after a number of inmates escaped from containment and began releasing other inmates, assaulting some in the process. It is understood that inmates armed themselves with makeshift weapons, as well as gardening and labouring equipment, including a pickaxe. One 18-year-old man was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital in a serious condition

suffering stab wounds. Six other juveniles suffering various injuries from stab wounds to broken bones, were taken to Gosford Hospital for treatment, with an undisclosed number treated at the Centre by NSW Ambulance Paramedics. Police established a secure perimeter inside the Centre, but a group of inmates barricaded themselves on the roof of one of the facility’s buildings and a 22 hour siege ensued. Additional resources were deployed from neighbouring police districts, as well as the Public Order and Riot Squad, Operations Support Group, Dog Unit, PolAir, Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, the Rescue and Bomb Disposal Unit, and other specialist resources to help Brisbane Water Police restore order. The siege was ended at

around 5:30pm on Monday, July 22, after Riot Squad officers gained access to the roof and the remaining juveniles surrendered peacefully. Strike Force Mittabah has been established to investigate the incident. The riot follows two separate incidents earlier in July which saw a staff member assaulted at the centre and eight detainees gain access to a roof, setting some materials alight and throwing projectiles to the ground before the situation was resolved. PSA Assistant Secretary, Troy Wright, said the latest incident shows violence across the system has reached “epidemic proportions”. “At Frank Baxter alone, there are 25 staff off work on workers’ compensation for physical and psychological trauma,” Wright said.

“For more than three years, the Public Service Association has been begging the government for therapeutic units which allow the worst of the worst to be segregated. “It has dragged its heels on this issue, but it can no longer ignore a system in crisis. “The government could open therapeutic units today - the infrastructure is in the centres now. “The government must also segregate sex offenders from the general population.” Wright said the present system does not allow officers within the centre to manage violent offenders. “On Sunday, the officers enacted their training and retreated to call the police, because they do not have the powers to deal with it,” he said. “There must be a full judicial review into the juvenile justice

system and nothing can be off the table. “The response must look at the entire system, because these events, serious as they are, are a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself.” “Officers are not asking for weapons or a blank cheque to use brute force. “But there needs to be legislative change that includes consequences for violence of the kind seen on the weekend. “There also needs to be internal procedures that introduce consistent and fair consequences for inappropriate or challenging behaviour.” Shadow Minister for Juvenile Justice, Jihad Dib, has also demanded Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, hold an independent and transparent inquiry into the weekend riot,

which he described as “total failure of law and order within the justice system”. “For too long, the Government has ignored the calls of those working in the juvenile justice system in relation to better regulations, support and training,” Dib said Five adults and 16 juveniles were charged following this week’s riot. One adult appeared in Gosford Local Court on Monday with four others set to face the court on Tuesday. The youths were set to appear at Woy Woy Children’s Court on Tuesday.

Changes were made to the original draft following a lengthy community consultation process, which saw 336 submissions received, five community workshops held across the region and 1,500 surveys completed by residents. A report to council said sea level rise planning levels and planned retreat were the two commitment statements least supported by respondents. “Participants believe that council needs to proactively prepare and focus on positive adaptation actions like protect, redesign, rebuild and elevate, to avoid the need to consider options such as relocate and retreat,” the report, from Micromex Research, said. In response, references to planned retreat and RCP 8.5, setting a strict pathway allowing for sea level rise, were removed, and the focus on ongoing adaptation planning with the community was strengthened, along with disaster management and coastal hazards planning.

Lake Haven Shopping Centre has installed more than 5,000 solar panels on the roof to harness energy that will produce power equivalent to supplying more than 450 households. The second statement to receive lukewarm support from respondents was that Council align its corporate greenhouse gas emissions reduction target with the Australian Government’s Paris commitment to reduce emissions by 26-28 per cent below the 2005 levels by 2030, and the NSW Government’s aspirational objective to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The draft report has been amended to remove any reference to the Paris targets due to the likelihood of these targets being updated.

The draft policy commits to a place based approach to adaptation planning in partnership with the community. It wasn’t all smooth sailing at the July 8 meeting, with Councillor, Troy Marquart, saying the policy would “do absolutely zero”. “It could be benign or … if we get a greener Council, it could be dangerous,” Clr Marquart said. But Councillor, Jillian Hogan, said the policy would not be “the end of the world” and would be reviewed in each new

Council’s term. It passed by a 5-3 majority. Mayor, Jane Smith, said the policy had been adopted following a “thorough consultation process” and amended to provide a more “consultative pathway” to the future, paving the way for an increase in the use of renewables and a decrease in the use of fossil fuels. “The policy details six strategic principles around ecologically sustainable development, using a holistic approach to developing climate

change actions and ensuring decision making is evidence based, and proactive in approach,” Clr Smith said. “It provides leadership and clearly establishes the framework to face the challenge of climate change for now and the future.” C o m m u n i t y Environment Network Deputy Chair, John Asquith, said there was a desperate need for the policy. “Each year, we see increasing heat waves, more powerful storms and increased flooding,”

Asquith said. “It is clear from the science and international concerns that climate change is real and accelerating. “While there are strategies available to push back on climate change, there is little evidence that anything meaningful will happen either nationally or internationally to stop or slow climate change. “Hence, we need our Council to be prepared to take action when all other levels of government fail. “This must include readiness of emergency services, access and buildings above flood levels, and keeping essential services such as roads, rail and communications operating. “My advice to everyone is be prepared, plan ahead and listen to real expert advice, not opinions. “I often receive letters or messages from selfappointed opinion makers who are clueless. “Don’t be misled, climate change is real and it is dangerous. “Council cannot determine what will happen, but they can advise or regulate what should be done to protect ourselves and our homes.” Source” Agenda item 4.5 Central Coast Council Ordinary Meeting, Jul 8 Media statement, Jul 8 John Asquith, Community Environment Network Reporters: Merilyn Vale and Terry Collins

Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch has welcomed the opening of the Service NSW Centre. “This is a major win for the community,” Ms Tesch said. “Fifteen thousand locals signed a petition. “There were debates in the Parliament, and it was only the community commitment that made this happen. “The RMS office should never have been removed in the first place and (its removal) was a serious betrayal to the local community.” Ms Tesch said the centre would be a step up for locals looking to complete vital State Government transactions with more than 1000 additional services available to Peninsula locals who have been forced to travel to Gosford or Erina for assistance.

Community members encouraged to vote for their favourite project

a j o r homelessness service providers on the Coast took to the streets of Gosford on August 7, in the middle of Homelessness Week (August 4-10), to highlight the issue of housing affordability in the region.

Uniting local homelessness service, Doorways, coordinated the march, and was joined by other homelessness service providers including Coast Shelter, CatholicCare, Bungree, Wesley Mission, Central Coast Community Council, Central Coast Council,

and Regional Youth Support Services (RYSS). “We are seeing record numbers of people walk through our doors because they are experiencing or are on the verge of homelessness,” Uniting Youth and Homelessness Service spokesperson, Vicki Daley, said. “There has been no more pressing time for the local community to come together to find solutions and advocate for more affordable housing stock in this community.” Daley said the march was intended to bring awareness to the local homelessness crisis. “Twenty-four thousand people are experiencing

housing stress and more than 3,000 are currently on the affordable housing waiting list on the Central Coast,” she said. “The Central Coast housing affordability crisis is growing rapidly and requires increased affordable housing stock, as well as compassionate and creative community action.” Marchers left Burns Park at midday and proceeded down Mann St to Kibble Park, where stalls and activities were on offer, along with recovered food cooked by Masterchef Season 1 winner, Julie Goodwin.

An initiative of the State Government, the program was established in 2018 to give communities a say in what projects they want to see in their local area take shape. Grassroots democracy is at the core of the program, with communities able to read through nominated projects. The projects are listed via each electorate, with 17 projects listed across the Gosford electorate and 11 across Terrigal. A breakdown of each project is below, and Member for Terrigal, Adam Crouch, and Member of the Legislative Council for the Central Coast, Taylor Martin, say residents need to vote, and in force, if they want to see their favourite project funded under the highly competitive program. “Across the Central Coast, almost 50 projects have been successfully nominated,” Crouch said. “I anticipate that we will see strong support for this initiative, so I encourage everyone to make their voices heard,” Martin said. Voting is done through the My Community Project website and closes on August 15, with the successful projects to be announced in September. Anyone looking to vote will need an up to date Medicare Card and My Service NSW account.

This project will see a kitchen and storeroom facilities installed at the hall. The hall has undergone major renovation works since 2007 but does not have kitchen facilities. A kitchen and storeroom have been earmarked under stage two of the development works but works are not set to be completed until 2020.

It will be cleaned by a large suction truck on a recurrent schedule. Mr Sulkowski said that community members can play a role in reducing the impact of litter on local beaches and waterways. “It’s up to all of us to ensure less litter makes it to the stormwater in the first place - putting rubbish in the bin or taking it with you is the best way to keep our waterways clear,” he said.

The Boathouse Hotel at Patonga has been sold after operating for less than a year under new ownership. The hotel was sold along with seven other Sydney restaurants owned by the Boathouse Group to “two family investment offices from within NSW”. In a statement to Peninsula News, The Boathouse Group said the rapid expansion in the previous year, particularly the opening of The Boathouse Hotel Patonga and Barrenjoey House, resulted in the need to rectify financial pressures and recapitalise. “This purchase by new equity partners provides the investment the group requires to continue delivering the experience our guests know and love,” the statement said. Group founders Pip and Andrew Goldsmith will continue to manage the day-to-day operation of the businesses and look forward to working with new majority owners.

Tash Richardson, 16, who said she gained her recreational pilot licence at the airport. She asked council to do whatever it could to continue the airport operation. “The cost of becoming a pilot is the same as getting a university degree and that money goes straight into the local community,” she said, describing the airport’s accessibility and community as what made it attractive. Cr Doug Vincent asked if Richardson thought the airport should become a jet airport. “The way it is at the moment is perfect,’’ she replied, to cheers from the gallery.

Council to seek greater integrity in assessment process Central Coast Council will seek the support at the Local Government Conference for greater integrity in planning and building assessment and certification. The council supported a move from mayor Cr Jane Smith which would see councils appoint consultants to assess proposals and would return building certification to councils. She wanted the Local Government Conference to call on the NSW Government

to introduce a system that guaranteed independence and integrity in consultant reporting in the development process. She wanted a list to be established of appropriately qualified independent consultants to procure the reports needed in development assessment, including environmental impact statements, transport plans, arborist reports and waste management plans. Applicants would pay into an independent consultancy fund to procure services.

Councils would allocate work to consultants from the approved list to prepare reports and to provide them directly to council. An audit process would ensure the quality, independence and transparency of the process. Cr Smith said she also wanted the Local Government Conference to call on the State Government to return the function of building certification to council on a fee for service basis She said: “The increasing use of private certifiers in the approval of construction and complying

development certificates has been identified as one potential reason for the fall in building standards and is something that needs to be addressed by the State Government. “Local councils are still able to provide certification services but are finding it difficult to compete with private certifiers who offer cheaper rates. Cr Smith said: “Every council wants to create a community which is both safe and attractive for residents and is also welcoming to visitors.

“We want our development and building approval processes to continue to be robust, resulting in high-quality yet affordable housing. “We also want to ensure that councils have a seat at the table when the State Government is planning policies and strategies which have a long-term impact on local communities.” SOURCE: Central Coast Council agenda 1.4, 12 Aug 2019 Media release, 14 Aug 2019 Jane Smith, Central Coast Council

Bouddi bushcare group wins regional award The Bouddi Bushcare Group has been rewarded for their long term efforts to improve national parks on the Peninsula. The Bitou Bashers has won a community group prize at the Regional Bushcare and Landcare Awards of Greater Sydney Local Land Services held on August 2. Former National Parks and Wildlife Service bushcare program coordinator Ms Deb Holloman said competition for the award was fierce, with volunteer bush and land care groups from Bargo to the Blue Mountains all being considered. Ms Holloman said Bouddi Bushcare began in 2001 as the Bitou Bashers as an initiative of David Dufty and Robert McClure. “Initially its efforts were restricted to removing bitou from Maitland Bay but its activities have expanded as its numbers have increased. “Over time the original group of six morphed into Bouddi Bushcare, which now involves about 18 local volunteers who gather weekly to work primarily in Bouddi National Park. “The close-knit group now works on 12 sites throughout the park including Rileys Bay, Little Beach, Tallow Beach, Maitland

Bay and Putty Beach. “It also assists at sites in other national park reserves such as Wambina, Wamberal and Rileys and Pelican Islands, and even as

far afield as Mt Yengo. “Accumulating some 1500 hours of work each year, the group contributes considerably to enhancement and protection of our

Council completes sporting works program Central Coast Council has announced completion of its $1.9 million works program for sporting facilities around Woy Woy. Mayor Cr Jane Smith said the works encompassed Austin Butler Oval, Woy Woy Tennis Courts and an 80-space carpark to service both facilities. “We know how much our community value quality sporting facilities and this upgrade will provide enhanced services to the growing Peninsula community. “The community voted for this project and demonstrates how Council is listening to and working with the community to deliver the facilities they want and value,” she said. The works included a new 250 square metre building at Austin Butler Oval replacing outdated facilities. It features include two change rooms, amenities including accessible and ambulant toilets, canteen and store, equipment room, referees’ room, club room, water refill station and outdoor forecourt area. The clubhouse at the tennis courts now has accessible unisex and ambulant toilets, extended spaces with renovated meeting room, kitchenette, office space and storerooms, plus a new undercover

outdoor area. A contribution of $15,000 came from Tennis Australia. Woy Woy Football Club, the primary user of Austin Butler Oval, is currently finalising an $80,000 contribution towards the oval’s new facilities.

Cr Smith said these latest upgrades build on Council’s $310,000 works undertaken last year at Austin Butler Oval to upgrade irrigation, drainage and floodlighting which has increased functionality, longevity, playability, and safety of the playing surface.

Woy Woy Football Club secretary Mrs Dawn Butler said club members were thrilled with their new facilities and were now preparing for their major fundraiser which took place on August 17. “We’re very happy with our new facilities and will update

the community about how our fundraiser went when we have the final figure,” Ms Butler said. Woy Woy Tennis Club president Mr Tony Carey said the works at the tennis courts went a long way to preserving the tennis club’s identity but members did have questions as to why certain works were not completed as part of the redevelopment. Mr Carey said the tennis court’s 70-year-old fencing had not been replaced as part of the works despite being in desperate need of a major overhaul. He said club members were also asking why Council opted to upgrade only two of the court’s three player huts, with the nonupgraded hut now an eyesore compared to the others. Mr Carey said he’s currently negotiating with Council to address these issues. “Overall we’re satisfied with the redevelopment. “We got what we wanted and Council has been notified about our concerns regarding the fencing and hut which were overlooked,” Mr Carey said.

Director of Environment Mr Scott Cox said that there would be no cost to the council. The policy will apply generally to the urban areas and to the environmentally zoned lands referred to as non-rural zones.

Eight one-bedroom dwellings proposed for Umina Interested residents have until August 29 to comment on a development application for an “eight multi-dwelling house” proposal for 433 Ocean Beach Rd, Umina Beach. Central Coast Council put the proposal out for public comment last week. The two-storey building would consist of eight small one bedroom dwellings with communal open space and landscaping. The applicant Tom Luedecke said the development was aimed at young people, who were being priced out of the residential property market both at a rental and purchase level. He said that he supported affordable housing developments. The site is currently a real estate office and is about 400 metres from Umina Beach and recreation reserve. The proposal does not comply with the minimum lot size of 750m2 under Gosford Local Environment Plan as the block is 676.1m2 – a variation of almost 10 per cent. A statement supporting the proposal, written by Clark Dowdle and Associates, says the proposal is in the public interest, being close to public transport and Umina business centre. It quotes council’s new draft urban spatial plan which identifies Umina Beach as a town centre that will incorporate a renewal of the

urban form with compact centre design with higher densities which will encourage a series of distinct mixed density urban centres. It mentions recent approvals of multi-unit developments with the same design scale, height, setbacks, site cover and parking, including proposals for 117 Booker Bay Rd, Booker Bay, and 174 The Esplanade, Umina Beach, among about 25 sites, all on the Peninsula. “Council in its planning assessment has conceded that the prescriptive requirements outlined

within the Multi-Unit Housing and Residential Flat Buildings chapter are unrealistic for medium density development to be fully compliant with the numerical measures of the multi-dwelling chapter in the Gosford Development Consent Plan 2013,’’ the report says. “The economic feasibility to consolidate allotments and provide such little yield due to the loss of land available in regards to the required setbacks are onerous and rather the assessment of villa style development has been taken

into account the context of what is been established and recently been approved by Council.” It goes on to say the proposal would be in line with the NSW Government’s long term land use plan for the region. The development would allow greater than three hours solar access to the living areas of the proposed building. Neighbouring properties would be overshadowed during the winter months. They would “obtain solar access again when the season moves toward the equinox,’’ the report says. The proposal has already attracted submissions with questions on the cost of $650,000 estimated for the proposal. One submission said they were interested in, but could not see, any information on these “micro apartments”. “Not a motel? Not a serviced apartment? So who will be living in a single room with a bathroom? What size are these?’’ the submission asked. “Are they for long-term or shortterm residents/tourists? “Once again it is apparent that ‘boarding rooms’ and associated persons are going to be the future of the Peninsula. “Total cost of works $650,000. I also fear a very cheap and nasty structure.” The applicant Tom Luedecke said young people were being

priced out of the residential property market both at a rental and purchase level and that he supported affordable housing developments. “As I understand it, the spirit of the State Government’s affordable housing planning policy is to support individuals and families who have no place to live, are on low and moderate incomes and may be key workers providing essential services to the communities they live, teachers, nurses or fire fighters, who need to live close to their employment,” he said. “I have been a supporter of medium density housing that targets these groups for several years and am thrilled to see developments of this nature receiving traction and gaining momentum. “As a society we need to remember and acknowledge that we’ve all been beneficiaries of historical property development and land subdivision. “This should not stop. We have to continue to provide for younger generations. “It is a human right to live in safe, decent and secure housing and in areas that provide the societal infrastructure of education, health, transport, employment opportunities and importantly community.” SOURCE: DA Tracker website, 13 Aug 2019 DA 56948, Central Coast Council

Applicant asks Council to review its refusal The applicant for a subdivision of a block of land at South Woy Woy has asked Central Coast Council to review its decision to refuse the proposal. Council refused in March an application lodged in November

by SJH Planning and Design to subdivide 145 Woy Woy Rd, Woy Woy, into two lots. It said the applicant did not adequately address the matters required to be demonstrated by the council’s planning provisions. The applicant asked to be allowed to subdivide the land to

create a vacant roadfront lot 81 and a lot 82 containing the existing residence, which abuts waterfront reserve at Correa Bay at the rear of the property. But council said the proposed Lot 81, at 524.5 square metres, would fail to meet the minimum specified lot size of 550 square

metres required by the Gosford Local Environment Plan by 4.7 per cent. The council assessment stated that, while Lot 82 would achieve a site area of 550.2 square metres, this was 99.8 square metres (15.4 per cent) smaller than the requirement for lots next to public

News Mehrtens welcomes call for Newstart increase Cr Richard Mehrtens has welcomed a decision by Central Coast Council to make a submission the Federal Government for an increase in the Newstart Allowance. Cr Mehrtens told the Peninsula News the last census showed that there were 1200 unemployed people on the Peninsula, most of whom would be getting by on only $300 a week. “People who live on the Peninsula shop on the Peninsula,” he said. “If you give 1200 people a pay rise then that money goes straight into the shops on Blackwall Rd, or in Deepwater Plaza, and helps support local small business owners who are also doing it tough,’’ he said. “What the federal government needs to realise is that by increasing the rate of Newstart, you are directly injecting that money into local economies.’’ Cr Mehrtens said no one deserved to be treated as poorly as successive Federal Governments had treated people on Newstart. “To expect a single-parent family to live on $300 means that you are condemning children to living in poverty and that is disgraceful,’’ he said. “A payment of $300 a week doesn’t even pay for rent on the Peninsula, let alone food, bills,

clothing, or school costs.’’ The motion to make a submission to the Federal Government was raised by Cr Jillian Hogan. She said more than 30 council had made formal submissions to the Federal Government calling it to “Raise the Rate” and the Australian Local Government Association had added its voice. The association motion had said that the burden was placed on local government areas to respond to the needs and challenges of people living in poverty and homelessness. It called upon the Federal Government to raise the allowances to the level of the Henderson Poverty Line to increase the wellbeing and life chances of many in the community. The March quarter 2019 poverty line, inclusive of housing costs, was $994.68 for a family of two adults, one of whom was working, with two dependent children. Cr Hogan’s motion called on council’s submission to the Federal Government to include the rationale from a statistical, economic and social perspective relevant to the Central Coast region.

Historic family photos discovered at Mt Ettalong A collection of family photos has been discovered at Mt Ettalong and the finder would like to see them returned to their owner. Mr Phil Toner of Umina was walking at the Mt Ettalong Lookout in June when he came across a box left under the nearby water tower. Curiosity got the better of him and Mr Toner discovered hundreds of family photos. According to Mr Toner, the photos date from the 1880s and he believes they capture the lives and

times of at least four generations of a single family. He contacted the Peninsula News in the hope that someone might recognise them. “I’m sure someone out there is missing these photos and I’d like to see them returned if possible,” Mr Toner said. “I’ve only glimpsed through them, but there are hundreds of photos all depicting what looks like a single family line’s history. “There are photos of World War II Diggers, some Victorian portraits and some from the 1950s and 1970s and that’s just what I’ve

guessed so far,” he said. “Either someone left them there by mistake or they were stolen and then dumped. “That’s my guess anyway,” he said. Mr Toner suspects the family came from the Northern Beaches area of Sydney and either owned property on the Peninsula or regularly holidayed in the area. The owner of the photos may claim them back by contacting Peninsula News. SOURCE: Interview (Dilon Luke), 13 Aug 2019 Phil Toner, Umina

David Dufty dies

Animal group calls for dogs to be walked on leash

Long-time Bouddi Peninsula resident Mr David Dufty has died. Members of the Bouddi community are mourning the loss of Mr Dufty who has been described as a tireless community advocate and champion environmentalist. Mr Dufty died peacefully in his sleep on August 8, aged 93. He is survived by his wife Helen, their three children and their four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. “David was one of the founding members of the Bouddi Society and a very important member of the Bouddi Bushcare Group,” said Society president Mr Phil Donnelly. “A creative dynamo, he was a cultural force in our community and an environmental force too. “His contribution in the wider community as an educator was recognised by him being made a Member of the Order of Australia. “He was also honoured by the Bouddi Society by being given life membership. “He will be remembered with great gratitude and fondness. “Our condolences go to Helen and their family. Mr Dufty was also a great friend to the Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association. “David was a stalwart of the Bouddi community and a true force of and for nature,” said Association president Mr Mike Allsop.

A local animal welfare group has called for people to obey the law and to always walk their dogs on a leash.

“For this association, David assisted in many ways including putting his feet on the ground every month for many years delivering our Talking Turkey Newsletter to the community.” Mr Dufty’s funeral was held at

Greenway Chapel at Green Point on August 16. SOURCE: Media releases, 12 Aug 2019 Phil Donnelly, The Bouddi Society Mike Allsop, WTKCA Tribute to David Dufty - Page 17

The call came after an older woman was knocked to the ground and one of her dogs killed by other dogs in Umina on Monday, August 12. Ms Vanessa Irvine from Paws A Moment and Rescue said the attack came when two tiny dogs were on their daily walk on a double leash with their owner, 73-year-old Ms Laurette Falkingham. Ms Irvine said two large German shorthair pointers, off leash, came at them, knocking Ms Falkingham to the ground. One dog started attacking Tiny, a black and tan chihuahua. The double leash broke allowing the other dog, Tinkerbelle, a former Paws rescue pup, to escape unharmed. Tiny was killed in the attack. Ms Falkingham was helped to her feet and was shaken but physically unharmed. Ms Irvine said the attack was unprovoked and should never have happened. She said the owners of the pointers rushed over to try to stop the attack, both getting bitten in the process. “These two fur babies were companion dogs and loved beyond words.” Ms Irvine said people needed to know and understand the laws. “These rules come straight off the Central Coast Council website: Your dog must be under

the effective control of a competent person at all times when out in public. “This means that your dogs must be on a leash and under the control of someone capable of restraining them. “Every dog and owner has the right to feel safe when giving their dog the exercise they need and deserve. “While you may think your dog is friendly with all dogs, the reality is there are other factors that come into play and not all dogs will get along, just like people.” Ms Falkingham said she was overwhelmed by people’s kindness since the incident. She said she was unhurt in the incident despite getting knocked over. Tiny had lived with Ms Falkingham since he was three months old and would have turned 10 next month. Ms Falkingham said the German shorthair pointers just arrived out of nowhere. Ms Irvine said the owners of the pointers were keeping in contact with Ms Falkingham and were looking at helping to provide another dog. They had promised never to walk their dogs off leash again, Ms Irvine said.

Annual dinner dance A Woy Woy aged care facility held its annual dinner dance on August 9. The theme of this year’s dance at BlueWave Living was a black and white ball. BlueWave marketing manager Ms Kylie Scott said the annual event was something residents always looked forward to. She said staff went out of their way to make this year’s event one to remember. Residents and staff transformed

centre’s dining hall into a black and white “casino royale” where residents and invited guests could enjoy a dance, a luxurious meal or test their luck on either the makeshift poker table or slot machines, she said. “The staff outdid themselves to provide a beautiful evening full of fun, entertainment, dancing and enjoyable food for all,” Ms Scott said.

New rubbish bins damaged New rubbish bins placed in Umina have been damaged, in what Cr Richard Mehrtens has described as “petty vandalism at its worst”. The damage has caused thousands of dollars in repairs and replacement, he said. “It’s disappointing that 99 per

cent of the community welcomes new local amenities and appreciate the work that Council is doing to improve our town centres, but the one per cent have to ruin it for everyone else,’’ he said. “No one is impressed by this, and if someone is, you should get new friends.

“We all want to live in a nice place of which we can be proud, and I am sorry to the residents of Umina Beach who are the victims of this behaviour.” SOURCE: Media Statement, 15 Aug, 2019 Richard Mehrtens, Central Coast Council

Alleged oil spill a matter for Council, says EPA The Environmental Protection Agency has said that an alleged oil spill at Ettalong Beach was not on a licensed premises and was therefore a matter for Central Coast Council, not a matter for the Agency. The spill was reported to the agency and the council in July by Mr Paul Rasmussen, from Port Douglas, who said he regularly visited the Peninsula to see his mother. He said that by the time a council ranger arrived on scene, about three hours later, the pollution was hard to spot as it had dissipated. Mr Rasmussen said Ettalong may not gain the attention of the Barrier Reef but its beautiful water ways, oysters, fish and ability for children to swim are just as important and precious. “Living close to the Barrier Reef, I’m acutely aware of what I see entering the ocean and what damage can be caused,’’ he said. “These open drains need to be

monitored closely by council with a view to eventually getting rid of them. “There must be a better system than to allow the street contents of the Peninsula and whatever irresponsible people pour down it to flow into the waterways via open drains. “I don’t think I would eat fish caught near those drains ever again, after seeing the black

sludge pouring out,’’ he said. “The quantity was enormous.” Council staff would not provide details to Peninsula News, stating that the council would respond only directly to the person who notified it. SOURCE: Email, 11 Jul 2019 Interview (Merilyn Vale), 17 July 2019 Paul Rasmussen, Port Douglas

Local tourism season launched The local tourism season was officially launched at a 7.30am meeting of supporters of Peninsula Tourism Partners at Ettalong Diggers Club on Wednesday, August 14. More than 30 business people turned up to listen to five speakers and to network. Partners spokesperson Ms Kim Cole, from Ettalong Diggers Visitor Information Centre, spoke about the privilege of living, working and playing on the Peninsula and urged listeners to connect with the partners.

She said Peninsula Tourism Partners was a small non-profit organisation and consisted of a group of three people who hoped to attract more members to create a calendar of monthly events for not only Ettalong but also Umina and Woy Woy. Ms Cole mentioned the Red Carpet Day, coming up on Sunday, September 15. Now in its fourth year, the day would this year include Holdens in the car show which started with just 20 Studebakers in the Diggers car park. Mr Reda Haddadeh, senior business advisor with The

Rotary Club hears about history of aged care facility The history of a Umina aged care facility was described to members of the Rotary Club of Woy Woy during a guest presentation by local historian Ms Julie Aitchison.

Club publicity officer Mr Vic Deeble said Ms Aitchison spoke about the history and evolution of Peninsula Villages and the role played by Mr Don Leggett, a past president of the club. Ms Aitchison said the 1971 Census showed that one in four people on the Peninsula were over 60 years of age. This compared with one in eight at Marrickville and one in nine at Parramatta. “Julie told us that in 1975 there were 8000 people over 60 living on the Peninsula, but there were no nursing homes or residential homes for elderly people. “Meals on Wheels was run by the Salvation Army, 30 meals twice a week. “Clearly this was not a satisfactory situation. “In 1972, the Umina Old Age Pensioners group decided to apply for a grant under the Regional Employment Development Scheme to build a nursing home.

“They created a committee and approached Don who at that time had been: involved in getting the Meals on Wheels service going. “He had been a foundation member of the Rotary Club of Woy Woy, had assisted the Woy Woy Football Club and was just about involved in everything else,” Mr Deeble said. “Don was on the Council and organised the land which was subject to a caveat that buildings had to be built in the following 12 months. “It cost $10,000 to buy the land. “The first four donations to build Peninsula Village were held in a bank account titled The Umina Old Age Pensioners Nursing Home Fund and added up to the princely sum of $26. “The village is now worth $134M. “No Government grants have been used for the buildings,” Mr Deeble said. “Monies have come from community groups such as the Rotary Clubs, the Knights of the Central Coast, the District nurses, the War Memorial Club at Ettalong, the South Woy Woy Progress Association, and many others.

“Don was in favour of building 12 units first and then after selling them, going on to build the nursing home. “He produced a newspaper that promoted the units and the nursing home. “The paper was circulated in May 1978 from Point Clare to Patonga by volunteers from clubs like ours,” Mr Deeble said. “District nurses raised money by selling drinks to thirsty golfers at the ninth hole of the Everglades golf course and ultimately put $30,000 towards the Peninsula Village. “In 1978, the initial village units started to be built. “It took 10 years to get the nursing home that the old age pensioners had wanted back in 1975. “Unfortunately, few survived to see their project come to fruition. “The original weekly payroll was $275 for two and a quarter staff. “The salaries and benefits for the year 2016-7 totalled over $16M.” SOURCE: Newsletter, 6 Aug 2019 Vic Deeble, Rotary Club of Woy Woy

Umina Rotary may fund Somoan college projects A group of Umina Beach Rotarians have returned from Samoa to present their findings on Rotary outreach initiatives at the Papauta Girls College. The college provides education to girls aged 10-13 who cannot access schooling in their local area. The Umina Rotarians visited the college to catalogue projects they could potentially fund. “After touring the college, the group earmarked some projects the club could help with and put forward their recommendations to the board,” the club was told.

There were five recommendations in total which included purchasing new guttering and a water tank to stop rainwater from entering the college’s staff room; cleaning and painting the shower block; arranging for new showerheads; and buying five new tables and 40 chairs. The club is currently costing the projects and exploring the viability of each recommendation with the Rotary Club of Apia. SOURCE: Newsletter, 7 Aug 2019 Simon Darwin, Rotary Club of Umina Beach

Free movie screenings planned for Umina Free family movie screenings will be held in Umina this spring and summer. Central Coast Council has awarded the Umina Community Group and Jasmine Greens Park Kiosk community grant funding to deliver free family movie nights. The screenings will be held in the Peninsula Recreation Precinct on Saturdays, September 7, October 12, November 2 and December 7. Jasmine Greens owner Ms Gabby Greyem said the movie nights would light up the park at night and encourage family activities after dark. A similar one-off screening hosted by the Kiosk in September 2018 attracted more than 300 visitors to the area. The movies to be screened are: How to Train Your Dragon. Madagascar, Wallace and Gromit, and Lilo and Stitch.

She said families were encouraged to bring picnic baskets and blankets and to set up early before the screening, and to A shopping centre at Woy community get behind this minimise the use of plastics and to Woy has announced it will wonderful initiative. recycle any waste responsibly “The community’s generosity run a month-long donation “We will be collecting gold coin drive for Mary Mac’s Place in will ensure we can keep providing donations to go towards future meals and other important services Woy Woy. movie nights,” said Ms Greyem. to those who need it the most on Mary Mac’s Place serve over Umina Community Group the Peninsula,” Ms Pantehis said. committee member Ms Jenn 500 meals a week from Monday to Deepwater Plaza’s centre Rochford said: “We hope the free Friday to those most in need in the manager Ms Marcelle Proper community are 100 per Robina Town Centre and Drive Robina Qldcent 4226said: “Organisations such as Mary movie nights become138 a regular reliant on donations to continue to feature on the UminaPOcalendar, Mac’s Place are critical to the local Box 3275 Robina Town Centre Qld 4230 provide this service. providing enjoyment for local and community.

“Additionally, until August 24, shoppers can opt to purchase a $2 or $5 food plate and place their plate on the donation wall to show their support.” These plates will then cover the cost of a $2 or $5 meal at Mary Mac’s for someone in need. “We’re hoping through this activity we’ll be able to raise awareness of the stark reality that is the ever-increasing need for food relief,” Ms Proper said. Deepwater Plaza would match each plate donated to a maximum of $2500, she said.

CWA members create memorial quilt Members of the Woy Woy branch of the Country Women’s Association have created a memento for a local woman who recently lost her mother. “Julie, who had recently lost her mum, was at a loss for what to do with some of her beloved mum’s clothing when her daughter suggested that they have them made into a memorial quilt,” said branch publicity officer Ms Emily Bowtell.

“They had no idea how to have this special piece made and, with neither Julie nor her two daughters being quilters, did not know where to start. “As luck would have it, Julie’s neighbour is friends with one of our members and put Julie in touch with us. “Two of our resident quilters, Jane and Wendy, gladly accepted the task,” Ms Bowtell said. “Two quilts were presented to Julie’s daughters Jessica and

Kimberly on August 3 as a beautiful reminder of their grandmother. “Julie also had some knitted squares which her mum had not had chance to put together. “Our Lesley crocheted the squares together, which we were able to give to Julie as well. “We hope that these pieces serve as a reminder of a loving mother and grandmother for many years to come,” Ms Bowtell said.

A tribute to David Dufty Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association vice president Ms Robyn Warburton said she first became aware of Mr Dufty through his work in helping people preserve and become more aware of the special environment in which we live. Ms Warburton wrote the following tribute to Mr Dufty: My connection with David is not environmental but cultural. David was a founding member of The Bouddi Society, which is a group of people dedicated to bringing special events to our community. He was a man with a wonderful mind and imagination. He not only dreamed up creative and interesting ideas for performances, presentations and exhibitions, he managed their production as well. He inspired and motivated those around him and as a result we were blessed with rich cultural experiences. We live in a small place, which has a fluctuating population because of holiday homes and weekenders, but we have a wealth of talent, which David drew upon and utilised, as he developed his ideas until they became a reality. Often, quite well-known people such as John Bell and Anna Volska, part-time residents Graeme Blundell, Judy Nunn and Bruce Venables who live here, to name some, had a role to play at David’s request and willingly give their support to our local cultural activities and community fundraising. I have been involved with David since the Year 2000. In that special year David’s ideas resulted in Bouddi 2000:

exhibitions, a parade and a multiarts production which David coordinated. He wrote and produced The Place Where the World Turns Around - a celebration of time, place and community. This ‘more than a play’ told the story, the history of where we live and why it is so special. David’s script brought together people of all ages. The local school children from Pretty Beach Public School took part as well as other members of the community, young and older. The production was entirely original with music written by local composers, a slide show with photographs of Bouddi by local photographers, as well as singing, dancing, acting and artwork. David made this happen. Two other events have been very significant in the recent past. In 2003, David took part in Spike Fest, a combination of events involving Woy Woy and the wider community, a celebration of Spike Milligan’s life and work. This involved a Comic and Crazy Verse Competition and Cavalcade. David’s role involved encouraging the local poets and anybody else to put pen to paper, and the schools in the area to participate. He then brought the winners together for an afternoon of performing fun and frolic where the prizes were awarded. This resulted in a book, which David edited titled: Finding the Goon Within. It is a showcase of local poetic talent. It must be mentioned that David was also a very good poet. Another huge event, which happened in October 2005, was a Multi-arts Exhibition, Bouddi Reflections.

Page 2 for contribution conditions This also involved the MacMasters Beach Progress Association. There were people who doubted that we could pull this one off, but we did and it was a huge success. The volunteers always work hard, but not as hard as David and his wife, Helen. David advertised the event, calling for the local artists, photographers, potters, poets and film-makers to create a work of art or more, with the local area as the theme. The response was overwhelming and the exhibition was huge. The opening by writers, Judy Nunn and Bruce Venables, was very special. Many artists benefited by the sale of their work and a local charity, Bouddi Wildlife Fund, received $6000. David exhibited some excellent photographs, so he has yet another talent. Helen still found time to produce two films. As well as these major happenings, throughout the years, David was instrumental in promoting concerts which showcased local talent and the Afternoon by the Bay series,

where people of note performed and talked about their life in their particular field. A series of Classic Films shown at Wagstaffe Hall was another successful venture. David led the way and now other members of the Bouddi Society Committee are constantly thinking about what the community would like and finding the ways and means to do it. I can believe that David dreamt many of his wonderful ideas. Helen said he often sought pen and paper immediately on awakening to write down whatever had come to him during the night. Writer, poet, actor, photographer, entrepreneur, producer, motivationalist, creative genius, teacher and more. I believe David Dufty’s cultural contribution to the community was outstanding. I know of no other person who did what he did or who could do it. The only benefit he received was knowing that he has brought pleasure and joy to a large number of people. He was a very special person who willingly shared his creativity and generosity of spirit with the community. July 28, 2006, was a very special day for David. He turned 80 and to celebrate he put together a concert called With a Smile and a Song Music in Our Lives. Local choirs, singers and musicians came together at Wagstaffe Hall to present a program of music, which reflected David’s lifetime of interest in music, and his love of music. There were many opportunities to sing-a-long and the audience loved it. The choir from Pretty Beach School was only one of the

highlights. David produced a CD to mark this special time in his life and this was given away to all who came. David played a significant role in our community and achieved a great many things. David Dufty received a National Award, a Member of the Order of Australia (AM), in June 2007. He will be remembered for his contribution to the environment, especially the huge improvements the “weed warriors” made and are continuing to make in Bouddi National Park. David Dufty and Robert McClure established the Bitou Bashers in 2001 and cleared Maitland Bay of weeds. The group became Bouddi Bushcare in 2003, working at 12 different sites in the park, with the major work being done at Rileys Bay: the work that has seen the removal of such unsightly weeds as bitou, asparagus, lantana and privet. The regeneration of native species follows and is wonderful to see. A very significant project he undertook was to discover the history of the people and life in our area. The Bouddi Society, with David at the helm, called on people to undertake research and write chapters to be produced as a CDROM to begin with and a book as the culmination. This project was an incredible success with contributions, stories and photographs, flowing in from many people. The beautiful book, The Bouddi Peninsula, a very special place was the outcome of the project, one that all members of the community are proud of and can thank David Dufty for.

Currently, pathways around the green are subject to inclement weather and can at times negatively impact on golfers’ ability to play the game. It is hoped that new pathways will improve safety and increase participation from elderly and disabled golfers. The club regularly provides competitions and coaching clinics to the Special Olympics Group, and with paved walkways, it is believed the club will be able to flourish as an empowering and inclusive golf hub for the region.

Local needs completely ignored I am a retired senior project manager and development manager and I have been astonished by the ineptitude of the builder-developerCentral Coast Council in relation to the construction of the Atlantis project here in Ettalong Village.

It is hard to differentiate between the three as they appear to be so closely entwined. For months, and years, the requirements of the local community have been completely ignored. In fact, in some examples of traffic management, the trio have seemed to go out of their way to cause as much hardship and pain on the local community as they could. The latest would be the lack of directional signage in the rear lane to the post office - a potential traffic accident waiting to happen. While the end of the lane at Picnic Parade is well sign posted showing “One Way” in an eastern direction, there is now nothing at the Memorial Ave end. Why? The building now has residents, so it must have a Completion Certificate. Right? I believe it is because the builder used the lane as part of his site illegitimately and had taken down the signs to build a hoarding on the proposed hotel site opposite and

Forum removed the road marking after they over-excavated the entire lane for their own services. One day I was walking home via the lane from the beach only to be stopped by one of the builder’s “traffic controllers”. He advised that I could not walk down the lane because of the construction work being carried out. I looked down the empty laneway and back at the genius holding the stop/go sign and asked: “What work?” He turned around looked down the empty lane and then at his wrist watch and said: “Oh ... it is lunchtime”. He dropped his sign and headed for the pub to be with his mates! That kind of bullying arrogance was thrust upon the aged frail residents of Ettalong for over two years due to the lack of planning by the builder and the lack of any community consultation (through letter drops, barbecues and the like) by the self-centred developer endorsed by an equally non-caring lazy council. Now that same council is going to approve more developments with the same unprofessional standards. Email, 14 Aug 2019 Jeff Evans, Ettalong

She asked council to do whatever it could to continue the airport operation. “The cost of becoming a pilot is the same as getting a university degree and that money goes straight into the local community,” she said, describing the airport’s accessibility and community as what made it attractive. Cr Doug Vincent asked if Richardson thought the airport should become a jet airport.

Imagine if it was a message about your business.

What would it cost to get your message out to that many people using any other medium? Don’t be fooled by the hype, advertising in this newspaper is by far much better value for money than any other medium. Not only does it have the reach and readership within the area it covers, but readers can keep the advertisement and refer to it as often as they wish.

Not a moment to lose with climate emergency I’m writing in response to comments by Rod Blake in edition 475 (Planned retreat not understood, says residents’ group). Mr Blake clearly fails to understand that Council has removed the words “planned retreat” from their Climate Change Policy. Those two words do not exist as part of that policy. Council has made a responsible decision to frame their future actions and decisions within the reality of climate change, for the long-term benefit of residents. Indeed, I would like to see Council take it one step further

Forum and declare a Climate Emergency to join the other 30 Australian Councils, representing roughly three million people and 12 per cent of the population, who have declared a climate emergency so far. I implore Peninsula residents concerned about the legacy being left for their children and grandchildren to support action on climate change from their own household, local community, through to Council and the other levels of government. There is not a moment to lose. Email, 10 Aug 2019 Gregory Olsen Esq., Empire Bay

Are governments planning for demographic change? Over the past few years, I have noticed small changes taking place here on the Peninsula. One of the main ones is the increase in the number of young people. Once a pram was a rarity. Now they are a common sight, with a young mother who is often accompanied by a second young child as well. With Sydney pricing itself out of the housing market for young families, we are the obvious next best option. This change in our demographic is most welcome, but I am wondering are the respective governments are making plans to accommodate this change? While Central Coast Council continues to approve the demolition of a single dwelling and its replacement by multi-storeyed homes for many new families, it does not appear to be considering the other needs of either its old or new residents. Our roads and footpaths are still a shocker. Where are these young people going to play? Our parks are disappearing or not being maintained. The playing equipment necessary to encourage children away from their television set or play station and out into the fresh air is not being provided. When you go to either of the Woy Woy shopping centres finding parking is a real challenge. I know I sometimes just give up and go home. The need for a huge increase

Forum in commuter parking has been obvious for years. The suggestion, some time ago, that more spaces be provided 800 metres from the station was just plain ridiculous. The State Government is spending billions on new infrastructure in Sydney but is doing nothing for the Coast. When I retired over 10 years ago, finding a seat on a train at Woy Woy was getting difficult, now it is impossible. There are no plans to increase the number of trains operating from the area or generally improve the service. Likewise, without knowing the figures, where are these children going to be educated? Sometime ago I passed my old alma mater at Eastwood. Most of the playgrounds were carparks for the additional teachers. Is the same fate going to happen at the schools around here? The Federal Government’s promise of infrastructure funding is most welcome. The question is whether it is part of an integrated plan looking at the bigger picture or will these funds just be used to appease those with the loudest voices? If we are to have the community we want, which provides for everybody, all levels of government need to sit down and develop proper plans to integrate their services and spending.

No community interest served by avoiding science

Residents of low lying areas are dreaming if they believe that Council’s avoidance of a “planned retreat” policy will protect their real estate interests (Planned retreat not understood, edition 475). Information on sea level rise predictions for the whole of Australia is readily available for insurers, government and community members to see on http://coastalrisk.com.au amongst other sources. As we are seeing in the current building industry scandals, insurers will be the first to shy away from

Forum insuring “uninsurable assets” as they become too expensive to protect. Insurers understand the economics very well. Residents of the Peninsula who are concerned about the fact and impacts of climate change would do well to demand stronger action from all levels of government to do everything in their power to combat climate change and reduce fossil fuel use. No community interests are served by avoiding learning from

the science. Like our Pacific Island cousins, and the esteemed environmentalist David Attenborough, I would much rather have a government and community that planned to reduce well-identified risks, than one which buries its head in the sand waiting for disaster to occur before acting. It is incumbent on us all to advocate strongly to all levels of government for strong climate change action if we are to have a positive future. Email, 15 Aug 2019 Sue Ellis, Umina

Di celebrates 25 years serving in chemist shop A Umina woman is celebrating serving 25 years in the same chemist shop.

Dr John Caska Dr Susan Molesworth Dr Kishore Pradhan

Through her job, Ms Dianne Matthews said she had seen her community embrace the seasons of their lives, from children becoming young adults, to adults in their prime settling into their golden years and watched on as the pharmacy industry boomed. Ms Dianne Matthews has been a shop assistant at Chemist Outlet Umina for the past 25 years, staying while the businesses changed hands and underwent a major relocation. She said she could still recall those early days working the counter for Mr Bruce Bagley when the pharmacy was a Soul Pattison Chemist in the 1990s. “Pharmacy was very different back then. “It has become much more competitive now and there are so many more products to learn about,” Ms Matthews said. One such change Ms Matthews

has enjoyed is the rise of vitamins and supplements. Describing herself as a health enthusiast, Ms Matthews is shop’s vitamin and wellness expert and has dedicated a good part of her career to learning about how vitamins can transform a person’s health. “I’ve been working in pharmacy for 43 years and during that time I’ve seen vitamins take off. “Back then no one used to take them but now as the range of vitamins continues to expand and people become more aware of how important actively managing their own health is, they’re really being embraced,” Ms Matthews said. “I love helping people improve their health. “It’s what’s kept me going all these years and I love it when someone comes in and tells me the product I recommended made a real difference in their healthcare regime. “It’s so rewarding knowing you’ve helped improve someone’s

health, especially in close knit communities like this one,” Ms Matthews said. “I’ve got regulars who I first met as children who now bring in their own kids. “You can’t do a job like this for as long as I have without developing real relationships with the customers. “It sounds cliche but they really do become like your own family,” Ms Matthews said. Ms Matthews celebrated her 25 year anniversary on July 28. She counts receiving a Rotary Outstanding Customer Service Award in 2016 amongst her career highlights. “I love doing what I do and I hope to be able to continue for many more years.” SOURCE: Media release, 6 Aug 2019 Rosemary SURNAME, Chemist Outlet Umina Interview (Dilon Luke), 13 Aug 2019 Dianne Matthews, Chemist Outlet Umina

Suicide prevention walk at Umina Beach A local welfare organization is helping organise Lifeline’s Out of the Shadows national suicide prevention walk at Umina Beach from 9am on September 8. This will be the fourth year that Coast Community Connections has hosted the event at Umina Beach Surf Life Saving Club at 9am with a short walk along the water towards the southern end of the beach. The walk will conclude with a remembrance ceremony. chief executive Mr Bruce Davis said that showing support for such

Umina Chiropractic Centre

an important issue can make an enormous difference. “Raising awareness and increasing people’s understanding of suicide and the impact it can have on those closest to you is the first step towards saving lives. “Sometimes it’s just about reaching out to someone and showing that you care, and initiatives like Out of the Shadows give people the tools and the knowledge to be able to make a difference to a great number of lives,” Mr Davis said. He said that statistics showed that men were three times more likely to die by suicide than women, while Indigenous and Torres Strait Islanders were 2.5 times more likely.

“We all have a duty to ourselves to look after our own mental health and have the courage to seek help when times are tough, but it’s equally important that the company we keep is capable of reinforcing the hope, joy and love that life can bring.” He said all who were interested in supporting the cause could attend. Interested locals can simply turn up on the day or pre-register for the walk. To register, visit Coast Community Connection’s website.

WHO LIKES COOKING? LET’S BAKE A CAKE

ell in cooking, if you don’t use the right ingredients you will not get a good outcome and our body is exactly the same. To put it simply, your brain and nervous system control how your body works. Symptoms are signs that your body isn’t working correctly. Physical, chemical or emotional stresses produce a defensive body response. Muscles contract, locking spinal joints. These areas inflame and

aggravate the nerves, which in turn create discomfort. This can be a precursor for ill health and disease. A thorough examination helps your chiropractor find these areas of what we call vertebral subluxations. They then apply a precise movement to the dysfunctional spinal joints which allows the body to correct itself. Health usually returns as repeated visits restore spinal and nervous system integrity. Making healthy choices to

eat well, be fit and think, will build on this just like using the proper ingredients in cooking. That is why chiropractic care helps so many people to get well and stay well through the improved function of your spine and nervous system. Have you booked your next spinal appointment to allow us to help you to care for yourself? Call 4341 6247 to make your next appointment, we look forward to caring for you.

Old and young join in activities The older and the younger members of the local community came together for joint activities recently. Residents of Umina’s Peninsula Village were visited by students of Wallaby St Early Learning Centre on August 9. Together the residents and students engaged in an arts and crafts session before a group

music lesson. Village chief executive Mr Shane Neaves said the visits from local preschools had become much loved by residents. “We don’t know who had a better time, the children or the residents,” Mr Neaves said. SOURCE: Social media, 9 Aug 2019 Shane Neaves, Peninsula Villages

Father and daughter raise $2500 for Stroke Foundation A Woy Woy father and daughter have raised more than $2500 for the Stroke Foundation in the lead-up to the City to Surf Marathon on August 11 Mr Damian Muldoon and his seven-year-old daughter Isla, 7, tackled the 14km run. They ran in memory of Damian’s father, Mr Billy Muldoon, who lost his life to stroke five years ago. Mr Muldoon said his dad suffered six or seven strokes between 2008 and 2014, which impacted him physically and mentally. “Each time dad had made good progress in his recovery and was regaining his confidence, he

would have another stroke and we would be back to square one,” Mr Muldoon said. “It was devastating for him and for the whole family. “I moved back home to help support both of my parents. “Stroke can be cruel and the challenges are ongoing, but I know my family is not the only one to experience its impact. “There will be around 500 strokes in the Robertson electorate this year alone and almost 4000 stroke survivors are living in the community,” he said. Stroke Foundation NSW state manager Ms Rhian Paton-Kelly said: “It was likely an emotional day for Damian and Isla, but they can be incredibly proud of their

efforts to help others with stroke. “Prior to the event they had already raised more than $2300 for the Stroke Foundation which is an amazing achievement, and this will help in our mission to prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery.” The Muldoon’s fundraiser is still active and by last week the pair had raised $2669 for the Stroke Foundation. Anybody wanting to donate can visit the Everyday Hero website and search for In loving memory of William Muldoon.

Tesch supports health and fitness program Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch is encouraging Peninsula residents to take advantage of a health and fitness program that has just returned to Umina. According to Ms Tesch, locals hoping to get fit for free need look no further than the Live Life Get Active program. The free program is held at the Umina Recreational Precinct and consists of a trainer guiding participants through circuits, boxing or yoga. “This program is tailored to suit all ages, genders and abilities with a wide range of activities in which to participate and Term 3 of the program has just commenced,” Ms Tesch said. “I got involved in the circuit

training last week and it was amazing to see young mums getting back into shape with their babies resting in their prams or young ones running around in the playground having their own fun, exercising alongside active seniors. “The program is child friendly and the fantastic location provides a great dual purpose,” Ms Tesch said. The program is funded by Central Coast Council and is held rain, hail or shine. Ms Tesch said program trainer Ms Lisa Buechel ran the activities and provided homework for participants so they could integrate a healthier lifestyle into their busy schedules. The program runs during the school term from 9:30 to 10:15

each weekday and can have up to 30 participants. Registrations for the program are taken online. Ms Tesch said: “In my experience as a Paralympian, wheelchair basketball player and sailor, I understand just how much an active lifestyle can change not only your physical but also your mental health. “Live Life Get Active is supporting healthier lifestyles in our community and I encourage everyone to take part in the program so we all live a healthier and happier life,” Ms Tesch said.

Principal asks parents to obey traffic law

Umina Beach Public School principal Ms Lyn Davis has asked parents to obey the traffic law during the morning and afternoon school pick up. She said the school had received a number of complaints about unsafe behaviour. The police had been contacted, and fines had been issued for traffic offences. “It has been brought to my attention by a number of concerned parents that unfortunately not everyone is following the road rules around our school perimeter that keep our school community

safe. “It is important that people do not let children out of the car in the mornings or beckon them to the car in the afternoon when they are double-parked. “Recently we have had police and traffic officers attend both before and after school and some people have been fined for traffic offences. “We have contacted the police so that our school can be monitored more frequently as I would hate for someone to be seriously injured,” Ms Davis said.

Ms Karen Wardlaw was announced as the school’s new principal at the end of Term 2 after former principal Ms Deborah Callendar retired.

acknowledge the wonderful sense of community support that is tangibly evident within the school. “I am slowly getting to know student names and faces and have been made to feel quite special by their interest in getting to know me and, in the process, sharing a little about themselves, too. “I have been impressed by the wonderful good manners and articulate conversational skills of our students and the friendly welcome I have received in every classroom I have visited. “I also had the pleasure of attending the 2019 Festival of Instrumental Music at the Sydney Opera House recently and cheering loudly as the name of Pretty Beach Public School was called out.” SOURCE: Newsletter, 1 Aug 2019 Karen Wardlaw, Pretty Beach Public School

Students participate in road safety course Year 5 students from Ettalong Public School have participated in the Community and Road Education Scheme. As part of the program, the students undertook a bike course designed to improve their road safety knowledge, perception and decision making on a simulated roadway. The program, supported by Central Coast Council, was aimed at students who cycle to and from school, and delivered by NSW Police. Mayor Cr Jane Smith said that the scheme was a great example of a joint initiative from Council and NSW Police “to help keep our kids safe”. “After more than a decade of operation the program has

become a Central Coast institution and I would encourage other local primary schools to book their classes in. “This program not only increases safety but also encourages our kids to lead a healthy and active lifestyle,” she said. Council director Ms Julie Vaughan said schools that took part in the scheme were helping make the Central Coast a safer place. “Children are vulnerable roads

users and it’s important we take a range of measures to keep them as safe as possible,” Ms Vaughan said. “Road trauma is a leading cause of death and injury for children in NSW and our goal is to help reduce this alarming statistic,” she said.

Glee Club concerts this week The Pearl Beach Glee Club Singers and Friends will present their latest concert, A Time to Remember, this week. The Glee Club will hold two concerts at the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall, at 7:30pm on August 23 and at 2:30pm on August 24. The concerts will be a celebration of the Pearl Beach Progress Association’s 90th anniversary. “Throughout 2019, the Association has organised a calendar of events in Pearl Beach to celebrate the people,

achievements and traditions that have made such a significant contribution to our 90 year history and to the suburb,” said Association communications officer Ms Lynne Lillico. Ms Lillico said the original Pearl Beach Glee Club was formed in the 1950s to raise funds to complete the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall. They put on a number of grand concerts before being reformed as the Glee Club Singers in 2010 by a group of local music lovers to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the original Glee Club. “The success of the anniversary concert encouraged the tradition to continue and each year members

have maintained the pleasure of regular meetings around the piano,” Ms Lillico said. “Building upon this tradition, this year’s program will surprise and delight with a great variety of local talent performed by extraordinary musicians; young and old, amateur and professional. “The audience will be invited to join in with some catchy singalongs and enjoy a number of funny skits,” Ms Lillico said. Local talent to feature in this year’s concerts are Michaele Archer, Anita de Lisen and Michael James, with radio personalities and theatre buffs Chris King and Scott Levi.

An Aussie road trip is hard to beat

There are many under-appreciated places we all should visit, but end up saying, “I’ll get back and explore that town one day”. Well now is no better time than ever to get out and visit some of these charming towns – with good reason, because Road Runners Tours have done all the hard work for you with two upcoming trips that embrace a the true meaning of a ‘road trip’ stopping at small places we now tend to drive around. The first trip is Cooma & Surrounds. A 5 day tour that brings back the charm of rolling plains and legendary rivers of the area. Cooma is the gateway to the states Alpine region. It combines the cosiness of a small town lifestyle that will be your home before venturing to places like the Bega Heritage Cheese Factory. You’ll go high into the mountains to ride on Thredbo’s Chairlift, and view the marvel of the Alpine scenery with all it’s amazing history of the Snowy Hydro. Another great tour is their trip to Eden. Otherwise known as the ‘humpback highway’ as it is the host to thousands of humpback whales heading home to Antarctica. On this 7 day tour you will get to view the coast with the water by your side before heading off to Canberra, a place they jokingly use to say, “what a waste of a good sheep paddock” to now a city that is steeped in culture, art and history. So being so close it’s well worth some time in our National’s Capital to see how much it has changed.

Peninsula in October. Coast Arts Collective founder Ms Natasha Marshall said the new body hopes to bring artists, musicians, creators and community-minded people together “to deliver socioeconomic arts events” around the Coast. The Collective would create pop-up art installations for the festival. She said the group wanted more members and volunteers to get the project off the ground. “The Collective was only launched in June so right now we’re still developing interest within the community. “This project will be a great opportunity for local artists to gain some exposure at this inaugural event,” Ms Marshall said. “Right now we’re very keen to hear from artists in particular, but Coast Arts Collective is for everyone. “We welcome anyone with a passion for the arts and a desire to get involved in the community.” Further information is available on the Coast Arts Collective Facebook page.

Aunties film met with pride and sadness The premiere of the film Aunties of Mingaletta at Umina Beach during Naidoc Week in July was greeted with pride and sadness, according to organisers. The Mingaletta hall was packed with standing room only for the film about seven women elders who revealed their struggles through the Stolen Generation, domestic violence, rapes and other tragedies. The film revealed the seven elders found strength together when they formed a support group, Sisters Together, that met at the Mingaletta hall. Mingaletta chief executive Ms Dianne O’Brien, one of the

women featured in the film, said the feedback after the film was fantastic. “The feedback was how strong the sisters are and the great work that I had done in Mingaletta,’’ Ms O’Brien said. “I felt the film showed these sisters together and showed how they have been so active in the community. It was amazing.’’ The film was commissioned following a Central Coast Council grant to the group. Ms O’Brien said she wa sad listening to some of the stories. “People do hide things away and it is too hard to talk about, but the film showed how these women went through hell and back and

came out okay,’’ she said. “It showed the health and wellbeing of this group. “I am proud to have founded the Sisters Together and how they have followed my lead. “They have become strong and educators in their culture and within themselves.” The Mingaletta Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation has held Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Training, covering barriers to accessing services, how to encourage aboriginal people to self-identify; history, and ways of working together.

Out&About

Local artists launch new art prize A local artists’ co-operative has launched a new art prize to be awarded next year. Ettalong’s Art Studios Cooperative has announced it will be holding the inaugural Jocelyn Smith Philosophy Art Prize in 2020. The new art prize is named in memory of Ms Jocelyn Smith with the prize money donated by her daughter-in-law Ms Victoria Bilger. Ms Bilger said Ms Smith was an exceptional woman who spent her life surrounded by artists of all sorts. “She was one of the first women on ABC Radio to edit, write and present music, history and poetry. “After leaving the ABC, she and her husband Ivan worked for the United Nations in New York before returning to Australia to raise their family,” she said. “Jocelyn would go onto teach Higher English while Ivan presented and eventually managed at ABC Radio. “Jocelyn was widowed shortly after I met her,” Ms Bilger said. “My partnership with her only child Steven, gave us the joy of two beautiful daughters before he passed suddenly from chickenpox. “Jocelyn supported me immensely in the raising of her

grandchildren. “Sadly, she passed from breast cancer in 2013. “I miss her dearly, but thanks to her legacy I am able to offer this art prize in her memory,” Ms Bilger said. Entries for the prize are open now with prizes awarded for 2D (excluding photography) and 3D artworks. The prize will adopt philosophical concepts and ideals as themes with the inaugural theme being Depth. Entries will remain open until January 21, with finalists being announced in February. Finalists’ works will be exhibited at The Bay Gallery throughout March with winners from each category announced at the exhibition launch on March 7. Entry forms are available through The Art Studios Cooperative website. Made up of five artists, the Collective relocated to The Bay Gallery at Ettalong earlier this year and has since held several exhibitions and other events.

Students complete walk Year 9 outdoor education students from Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus completed a portion of the Great North Walk on August 8. The Great North Walk is a 250km walking track which runs from Sydney to Newcastle. Students embarked on a 13km leg of the walk and were challenged to hike, climb, jump and bush-bash through various terrains. Students got to enjoy some breathtaking views of the Coast’s waterways upon completion, according to Umina campus principal Ms Kerrie O’Heir.

Sport

Surf club mourns loss of life member Umina Surf Life Saving Club is mourning the loss of life member Mr Allan Cook who died in July. Club president Mr Stephen Scahill said surf lifesaving lost one of its champions with Mr Cook’s passing. He said Mr Cook was a stalwart of the Central Coast’s surf lifesaving scene. Mr Cook worked at local beaches as a professional lifeguard for 40 years and was involved heavily in Umina and Toowoon Bay Surf Life Saving Clubs as a volunteer surf lifesaver and training and development officer. Mr Scahill said Mr Cook was known as an advocate for the betterment of surf lifesaving on the Coast. He had spearheaded several projects to grow the movement locally including leading a campaign to have several lifeguard towers installed across local beaches and training young up and coming female surf lifesavers and lifeguards to ensure a better gender equality in the sport.

Mr Scahill quoted the words of others to describe the feelings of club members: “Allan was the best. “He taught lots of us so many things, particularly how to be lifesavers. “An absolute professional gentleman and all-round great guy. “Allan is one of the kindest, honest, most generous people I’ve ever known, a real gentleman. “He influenced a generation of teachers, lifeguards, clubbies and emergency services personnel to start their careers.” Mr Scahill said: “Not often in your lifetime does an Allan Cook come around.” Several Umina club members attended a memorial service for Mr Cook held at Toowoon Bay Beach on August 4. Hundreds of people attended the service from across the Coast’s surf lifesaving community. The service finished with an ocean wreath-laying in Mr Cook’s honour.

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. 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 $50 + GST in mono and an extra $10 + 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

Former Bunnies player debuts with Melbourne Storm Former Umina Bunnies player Nicho Hynes made his National Rugby League debut in front of a home crowd on August 10 when he played with Melbourne Storm against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Central Coast Stadium.

Nicho grew up in Umina and family and friends watched on with pride as he realised a lifelong dream and pulled on the number 22 jersey for the Storm to play as stand-in fullback. For Nicho, the journey to the NRL was not an easy one. He said he almost called it quits as a 21-year-old, after he had signed with the Mackay cutters, moved to Queensland but couldn’t find steady work. He was tossing up whether to throw in the towel when he spoke with his older brother Wade Hynes. “He told me there was no way I could quit and he reminded me that as a five-year-old me I had a dream of playing in the NRL. “So I stuck it out,” Nicho said. That determination led to a

call-up with the Sunshine Coast Falcons, the Storm’s feeder club, and in May this year he signed a one-year deal with the Storm. His brother was given the honour of presenting Nicho his debut jersey during a ceremony hosted by the Storm the day before the game. Nicho said he couldn’t have made it to the NRL without the

support of his family and frienfds. The Storm went on to win the game 26-16 thanks in no small part to Nicho who made 17 runs and two tackle busts. SOURCE: Media release, 13 Aug 2019 Brittany Deaton, Melbourne Storm Interview (Dilon Luke), 13 Aug 2019 Nicho Hynes, Melbourne Storm

Southern and Ettalong United hosted third placed Gosford City, going into the match with an unprecedented 14-game winning streak. A 15th win was all they needed to seal this year’s championship. Ettalong players knew they would face a tough task against a Gosford City side which had won four of their last five games leading into the finals series, according to League digital content co-ordinator Mr Lachlan Herd. “Ettalong started the match brightly, creating a number of opportunities throughout the early stages of the first half. “However, ultimately they couldn’t convert in front of goal,” he said. “They were made to pay for not turning these early chances into goals when Gosford City opened the scoring in the 25th minute after Julia Hogan picked out Jessica Dominello with a quality through ball. “Dominello tucked this away brilliantly to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. “To their credit, Ettalong showed that you can never count out a champion side, responding in the 40th minute after a shot from Elaine Delaney nestled inside the far post to ensure the sides remained level at the halftime break.

“The start of the second half saw Gosford City come flying out of the blocks as they placed the competition leaders under significant early pressure. “This pressure was telling, with the visitors nabbing their second goal of the match through Michelle Brett with her eighth of the season. “In a match that was played at a remarkably quick tempo, Southern responded strongly as they tried to find the goals required to secure the League Championship with one week to spare. “This period in the second half saw them fire off several shots

that were either saved or narrowly off target, while also rattling the woodwork on numerous occasions. “Despite all this second-half pressure, Gosford City were to strike the decisive blow as Julia Hogan capitalised on a defensive mix-up to put her side 3-1 up in the 80th minute. “Ettalong did manage to find a second goal in the 88th minute to ensure a tense final few minutes to the clash. “However, it was ultimately too little too late as Gosford City held on for a memorable victory, one that keeps their chances of a

top two finish well and truly alive heading into the final weekend of the season.” Despite the loss, Ettalong coach Mr Craig Thackray remained positive. “The girls played well and with this game only our second loss for the season. “We’re left feeling a little deflated. “We look forward to our final game,” he said. Meanwhile, Umina United found themselves tied 2-all against Toukley. Following two disappointing

results, fourth-placed Umina travelled north to Harry Moore Oval to face seventh placed Toukley knowing that a win could give them a chance at a finals position, Mr Herd said. “A brace from Toukley’s Aimee Cogger was cancelled out by goals to both Tarni Black and Kate Styles, with Styles netting her 14th of the season. “Knowing a draw would be enough to hang onto fourth position heading into the final week of the season, Umina were understandably reluctant to commit too many numbers forward towards the end of the match. “This ensured they didn’t finish the match empty-handed and relinquish the all-important fourth position to fifth-placed East Gosford in the process. “The result sets up a mouthwatering clash between the two sides on Sunday afternoon at Umina Oval. “Sitting fourth and fifth on the competition table heading into the final match of the season, both find themselves locked on 29 competition points with Umina only sitting in fourth due to their superior goal difference (+15 compared to East Gosford’s +5). “Umina will head into the clash knowing a win or draw will be enough to seal a finals position. “However, a loss will see them eliminated on the final day after continuously occupying a finals position for the previous 14 weeks,” Mr Herd said.
