on Coffs Harbour City Council, businesses and local state and federal MPs to take a public stand against wage theft and exploitation in Coffs Harbour blueberry farms. Mr Cavanough said, “It is important that communities acknowledge what is going on and effectively commit to stamping it out in Coffs and surrounds. “It tarnishes the reputation of the area and horticulture in general,” he told News Of The Area. “It is a big driver of the local economy and it is a viable and a well respected industry and should not be associated with

wage exploitation and dodgy practices which we have identified,” he said. The McKell Institute Report by Edward Cavanough and Connor Wherrett released this month details underpayment, wage theft and economic injustice from labour hire companies across blueberry farms in our region focussing on Working Holiday Makers and migrant workers. The report, which has gained national attention, calls for a Royal Commission into the Exploitation and Underpayment of Migrant Workers in Australia.

floated to criminalise wage theft. The report states: “Unfortunately, Australia’s labour hire industry is poorly regulated, and a minority of labour hire firms are known to engage in unlawful activity such as illegal phoenixing, where an individual will create a ‘new company to continue the business of an existing company that has been deliberately liquidated to avoid paying outstanding debts, including employee

Mr Cavanough said people need to make a stand and let their voices be heard. “Coffs Harbour Council needs to say ‘enough is enough’.” “The local Member of Parliament Gurmesh Singh has a unique role to play as community leaders by recognising the problem and using his platform to say enough is enough to parliament. “As should Kevin Hogan and Pat Conaghan,” Mr Cavanough told News Of The Area. “Anyone in any position of public leadership should make it known that they want to rid the area of this type of exploitation.”

100 Blood Donors Needed By Sandra MOON

HAVE you considered donating blood this year? Coffs Harbour Blood Donor Centre needs one hundred donors urgently to be able to meet the expected demand over the holiday period. An especially critical time to give blood is between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day to ensure blood supplies for cancer and trauma patients are available over the festive season. Lifeblood is calling on locals to book appointments and help to ensure that the area has blood available over back to back long weekends in the upcoming holiday season. Lifeblood Group Account Manager, Regional Partnership Team, Ruth Harrison said stocks of platelets, a shortlived blood component, were particularly under pressure during public holidays. “Platelets are used to stop bleeding during chemotherapy or trauma, but only have a shelf-life of five days, and that means we need fresh collections every day this festive season. “Adding to the challenge is that it takes blood donations from four people to make just one bag of platelets,” she said. “The need for blood doesn’t stop or take a long-weekend, there are people in hospital

relying on donations so they can spend holidays with loved ones.” The call comes as Coffs Harbour Donor Centre celebrates 10 years of receiving blood donations and saving lives. “Coffs Harbour Donor Centre wouldn’t exist or be possible without the Coffs Harbour community and our regular donors coming through the door, we simply can’t save lives without them,” Mrs Harrison said. Those who donate this December will receive a ‘Gift of Life’ gift tag to either ‘gift’ their donation to someone this Christmas or to encourage others to donate during this important time. “Your blood donation will be the gift of life for Australian patients this Christmas and will have a far-reaching impact not just on the lives you save, but also the lives of their loved ones,” Mrs Harrison said. The Coffs Harbour Blood Donor Centre is located at Homebase Shopping Centre and is open on Saturday December 26 from 8am1.30pm, Monday December 28 from 8am-12.45pm and is only closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. To book a donation visit lifeblood.com.au, call 13 14 95 or download the Donate Blood app.

Green light for Coffs bypass THE Coffs Harbour bypass has been given the official green light by the Federal Government after the Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley assessed and then approved the project under the EPBC Act, moving the town’s biggest ever infrastructure project a step closer to construction. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the 14-kilometre bypass which received official planning approval is one of the 15 major projects that the Federal Government committed to fast-tracking in June this year. “The bypass is going to take more than 12,000 vehicles a day out of the centre of Coffs Harbour, reduce travel times by as much as 12 minutes by

bypassing 12 sets of traffic lights, and improve safety for all road users,” the Deputy Prime Minister said. “Transport for NSW has now received the final stamp of approval, after close scrutiny by the NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces and the Australian Minister for the Environment. “This approval includes the proposed tunnels at Roberts Hill, Shephards Lane and Gatelys Road, as well as assessing the project for its social, environmental, heritage and economic impacts, and gives the project team the green light to go ahead with major work.” NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said the Pacific Highway was a major contributor to Australia’s economy, and the Coffs Harbour bypass would be a

key link in this vital piece of the nation’s infrastructure. “This bypass alone will support about 12,000 jobs over the whole life-cycle of the project, providing about 2000 local jobs for the community of Coffs Harbour during construction, which shows how serious we are about investment in regional NSW,” Mr Toole said. “The local community has played a huge role in developing this project – from helping shape the design for the bypass to engaging with the experts in the field to ensure we

can get on with the job of delivering on our promise.” Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said now planning approval had been received, the benefits of the Federal and State LiberalNationals Government's investment in the biggest infrastructure project the region had ever seen could be realised. “The Nationals in Government are delivering record support for jobcreating, economy-boosting infrastructure,” Mr Conaghan said. “This bypass is 80 per

to the local economy while construction is underway,” Mr Singh said. “We’ve now got the green light and can get on with delivery of the biggest infrastructure project that Coffs has ever seen – it’s an investment in the future of our community.” The project is expected to take around five years to build, weather permitting.

Have your say on what information about water ownership and water trading is made public in NSW

COFFS HARBOUR BOAT RAMP Transport for NSW-Maritime is proposing a significant upgrade to the Coffs Harbour Boat Ramp and we want your input. A strategic plan for Stages 1 and 2 of the project was developed to guide the project from planning to construction. A Review of Environmental Factors (REF) has assessed the project to understand social, environmental and financial impacts.

The NSW Government is working with communities to improve access and transparency about water market information. Transparency in the water market gives water users certainty and confidence that markets are operating effectively and in accordance with water sharing rules.

We invite members of the public to view or download the REF and send us their comments, suggestions and ideas by 5:00pm on Sunday 20 December 2020.

In 2018, we sought community feedback on water trading transparency. Since then, we have developed water market information platforms including the WaterInsights Portal to help improve access to water market information.

The REF can be accessed in the following ways: 1. You can view or download a copy of the REF on the internet at rms.nsw.gov.au/projects/coffs-harbour-boat-ramp.index.html 2. You can read a copy that will be available at the Harry Bailey Memorial Library, Cnr Coff and, Duke St, Coffs Harbour. The library hours are Monday to Friday 10:00 am to 12:00 noon and 1:00pm to 5:00pm, and Saturday from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. 3. You can read a copy at Maritime’s Head Office at 33 James Craig Road, Rozelle NSW 2039

To provide feedback, complete our online survey or submit your written feedback by 5 pm on Monday 1 February 2021. We also invite the public to participate in a webinar on Wednesday 20 January 2021, 5 pm – 6.30 pm. Visit industry.nsw.gov.au/water-trades for more information and details on how to provide your feedback and the webinar.

Empty Bowls gives Hope for the Homeless q Musician Saskia Scheib on stage at Coramba. Photo: supplied. By Monika KOZLOVSKIS A DONATION of $1451.50 raised by the recent Empty Bowls event at Coramba has been presented to a very pleased Dean Evers, manager and founder of Hope for the Homeless. The Empty Bowls project is a worldwide event initiated in Michigan in 1990 to raise funds for local charities with the aim of alleviating hunger, and this is the second year the event has been organised on the Coffs Coast. President of Coastal Claymakers, Michaela Kloeckner, said that people started lining up half an hour early for first pick of the bowls. “It was a beautiful affair

in the historic Coramba Community hall,” Michaela said. “People enjoyed their lunch while being entertained by young Saskia Scheib, who took

to the stage and played her comprehensive repertoire on the flute and on her harp.” “The acoustics in the hall were amazing.” “Seventy bowls found

a new home, all the salads were consumed, and people left feeling happy about their purchase and the knowledge they contributed to a good cause,” Michaela said.

Major waterways throughout the state were targeted including Yamba, Bellingen, Kalang River, Port Stephens, Newcastle Harbour, Pittwater, Ettalong, Botany Bay, Georges River, Port Hacking, Audley, Shoalhaven, Wollongong Harbour, Crookhaven River, Kiama, Eden, Wallaga Lake, Bermagui and Merimbula. Superintendent McNulty said police will continue to be out in force over the summer period, with operations targeting rule breaking. “We have some of the most picturesque waterways in the country, which also means they see a significant increase in

recreational activity during warmer months, meaning more boating incidents and water related injuries and fatalities. “Large-scale operations like this are necessary during the warmer months to ensure the communities safety on our waterways by targeting dangerous and anti-social behaviour. “Those with personal watercrafts take this as your warning – we won’t tolerate unsafe and dangerous behaviour, we will have our sights set on you.”

60 people fined during Operation Armada

THE NSW Police Marine Area Command issued at least 60 infringements and 24 warnings during a proactive police operation on the state’s waterways this weekend. Operation Armada, a high-visibility and mobile policing strategy targeting vessels and personal watercraft compliance, commenced at 7am Saturday 5 December and ran until 7pm on Sunday 6 December, across waterways throughout the state. The operation involves officers from the Marine Area Command, local officers

from Police Area Commands and Police Districts across the state. During the two-day operation, more than 100 officers and 54 police boats were deployed, carrying out 120 drug tests and random breath tests on 733 boats and 175 jet skis, and patrolling 210 boat ramps and marinas. About 60 infringement notices were issued for speeding, not having correct safety equipment, and not wearing life jackets. However, there were no positive drug or alcohol tests. Superintendent Joseph McNulty, Marine Area

Commander, said he was pleased with the result. “It’s good to see that people are taking safety seriously when it comes to drug and drink driving, that’s a really positive result. “But I also want to remind the boat users who were fined about the importance of wearing life jackets, having correct safety equipment and not speeding,” he said. “If you are a skipper, remember you are responsible for the safety of everyone on your boat. “If you are a passenger, wear a life jacket; it will save your life.”

By Emma DARBIN A BOMB threat at Coffs Harbour City Council Chambers halted Council’s Extraordinary Meeting to discuss the Coffs Harbour Airport lease on Wednesday 2 December, with the meeting delayed ten minutes to allow police to declare the building safe. The Extraordinary Council Meeting was called to hear a rescission motion by three councillors on the approval of the Coffs Harbour Airport lease, on the Mayor’s casting vote, at Council’s earlier ordinary meeting on Thursday 26 November. When the Extraordinary Council Meeting finally commenced at 5.10pm, Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight stated that the Council meeting had been delayed “due to unforeseen circumstances”.

caused concern and anger among the councillors present with Cr Michael Adendorff asking member of the public Gai Anderson, who spoke for the rescission motion at the meeting, “Is part of your community the one that made the bomb threat tonight?” Mayor Denise Knight ruled Cr Adendorff’s comment out of order at the meeting. Cr Tegan Swan pleaded with fellow councillors at the meeting to rethink approving the Airport lease. “I know that we have come into this room rather late after a little bit of excitement, with pretty defined values of where we stand,” Cr Swan said. “I know every single person here wants the best outcome for the future of the city. “How sure are we of what we’re going to get?” The Airport lease length has not been publicly revealed as the information is considered ‘commercial in confidence’.

Vinnies Xmas Appeal in the year of COVID By Sandra MOON

THE impact of COVID-19 on people’s daily needs has been unpredictable and the figures are hard to interpret considering the absence and reduction of face to face assistance provided. According to the North East Regional Director of St Vincent de Paul Society, Clare van Doorn, while requests for help have decreased there are no signs that disadvantage in the area is lessening. “The number of locals seeking help with essentials such as food, medicines, transport, electricity bills and rental costs is currently down,” Ms Van Doorn told News Of The Area. “These numbers are less than early in the year because face-to-face contact has been limited, so people may be less likely to get in touch. “That said, we can easily be reached by phone, and vouchers and goods can be made available for pickup, or processed electronically.” The St Augustine’s conference (support service) in Coffs Harbour

q Clare Van Doorn and the Vinnies Christmas Appeal are ready to help locals again this year.

had 89 contacts in the recent quarter, with a total of 150 across all the Orara conferences. “Higher government support payments have made a difference to people living on the financial margins – for now, at least,” Ms Van Doorn noted. “However, this doesn’t equate to long-

term change, and the socio-economic problems affecting the region remain. “These include high unemployment, low wages and difficulty of finding affordable rental accommodation, and the high cost.” The North East Regional Director expects the numbers to increase,

especially as the holiday season approaches. Vinnies annual Christmas Appeal is ready to help families where necessary, and with the support of local schools and other donors, members are preparing Christmas hampers from non-perishable food items and toys. “In this way we

can help bring some festive joy to families struggling to afford even the necessities, let alone Christmas treats for their kids. “The annual Vinnies Christmas Appeal is also a vital help at this time of year,” said Ms Van Doorn. Demand from people who are homeless or struggling to get by has

been rising at Vinnies Pete’s Place drop-in service in Coffs Harbour, which last month had 940 visits from people seeking help. The service is based at the Neighbourhood Centre precinct and provides light meals, showers and laundry, medical care and referral to a range of welfare services. Service Manager Ann Scott said COVID-19 had impacted badly on already vulnerable people, creating uncertainty and anxiety. “We’re seeing many new faces,” she said, “and the chronic lack of affordable rental accommodation in Coffs is making things worse. “When government benefits are reduced I shudder to think of the

Shoreline DA lodged to alter complex By Emma DARBIN

PROPONENTS of The Shoreline aged care development being constructed at York St, Coffs Harbour have lodged a new development application with Coffs Harbour City Council seeking a redesign of part of the complex. The new development application proposes to redesign Bachrach Naumburger Group’s already approved Building A/B into two distinct buildings, reducing the number of independent living units (ILU) in the complex by fourteen from 183 to 169 dwellings. The new proposed Building B will have an increased height limit of 38.81 metres, compared to the approved Building A/B height of 29.27 metres, and the cost of the works is estimated at $28,460,000. An original development application for the complex was approved by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (Northern Region) in 2017. A recent development application for Building’s A and B was refused by the JRPP on 30 September, 2020. A new development application for Building B and a podium extension has

been lodged with Council and was recommended for approval by Council at its meeting last night (Thursday 10 December). The development proposal is for works associated with the construction and use of housing for seniors or for people with a disability, comprising 57 self-contained independent living units in Building B within an eleven storey building, and landscaping of podium level ILU apartment courtyards. The development of Building B forms part of the seniors housing already being developed on the land. The redesign of Building B is proposed following extensive market research and investigations over the last four years, indicating that Building B needs to be reconfigured and that significant lifestyle enhancements are needed across the project to meet the expectations and demands of the aged care community. The design of Building B as a separate building is primarily driven by responding to the long corridors that residents would need to walk if Building A/B under the original consent was developed, including a 62 metre long

Separation into distinct buildings also offers residents a wider housing choice with three bedroom apartments on all accommodation floors in Building B, while no three bedroom apartments were proposed in Building A/B. The main areas of redesign include greater extension of the podium,

The Shoreline project has been approved to provide a 120 bed residential care facility, plus 183 independent living units. The facility will operate and be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with staff available to respond to

residents’ needs within the wider aged care facilities, including Building B, under the development application. The development will be managed and operated by Park Beach Residences Pty Ltd, an approved provider of residential, home and flexible aged care, which will have a long term lease arrangement over the land.

Merry Christmas and Happy *brand* New Year! Few, if any, will be unhappy see the back of this particular year. Adrian at Celtic Roots Hair Designers is wishing godspeed to 2020 and looking forward to a brand new 2021, with his eye on a prestigious hairdressing competition. “Every year the Australian Hairdressers Journal runs the Hairdresser of the Year awards. To enter, each stylist must send six photographs of their work - these photos are then judged by top, often European, hairdressers. These judges are invariably winners of a similar competition in their own countries. Four finalists are chosen, and these finalists attend a fancy Oscars-type soirée where they announce the winner. “I have had the honour of being one of those final four in the past, plus a finalist in the UK twice. I am looking for models to style and photograph for next year’s competition. The models chosen will receive free hairdos and copies of any images taken.” Please send a head and shoulders photograph to the Celtic Roots Coffs Harbour Facebook page via Messenger.

Council releases 2019/20 Annual Report By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City Council has released its 2019/20 Annual Report revealing its significant achievements over the past year, capital works projects, elected members’ expenses, major contracts awarded, legal proceedings, donations and contributions, public works projects, and Council’s financial statements. The 2019/20 Coffs Harbour City Council Annual Report identifies both significant achievements and challenges recorded during the financial year. Significant achievements over the past year include the official opening of the $18m redevelopment of C.ex Coffs International Stadium, completion of works and reopening of the $1.2m West Coffs Reserve District Park and $2m City Square revitalisation, progression of the planning and design of the new Cultural and Civic Space, the two successful Elton John concerts in February, the West Woolgoolga Sports Complex moving closer to reality, and Council winning the globallyacclaimed International Festivals and Events

Association ‘World Festival and Event City Award’ for the fifth year in a row. Other notable achievements include Council being named ‘Local Council of the Year’ at the NSW Champion of Sports Awards, significant investment in upgrading all four Coffs Coast Holiday Parks, commencement on construction of the Coffs Harbour Enterprise Park, the Build the Best Bypass Campaign, Council's adoption of the Positive Ageing Strategy 2020-2024, Library Museum Gallery Strategy 2020-2023, and Lifeguard Services Strategic Plan 2019-2024, completion of water reservoir refurbishment projects at Toormina, Sapphire Beach and Emerald Beach, and extensive water, sewer and transport asset works at Moonee Beach, Sandy Beach, and Woolgoolga. Coffs Harbour City Mayor Cr Denise Knight said, “The year of 2019/20 threw everything at us - bushfire, flooding and lastly the COVID-19 pandemic.” “The Coffs Harbour community has been outstanding this year and continues to display amazing

resilience,” Cr Knight said. “Looking back, the official opening of the $18m redevelopment of the C.ex Coffs International Stadium, the staging of the Eco Surf Festival late 2019, and two highly successful Elton John concerts in February 2020 were clear highlights.” Coffs Harbour City Council General Manager Steve McGrath said, “This Annual

Report covers a period of time like no other. “Council delivered a capital works program of $60.1 million and made ratepayer money go further with a coordinated effort to strategically target grant funding with great success,” Mr McGrath said. Also contained within the Annual Report is information about overseas

Council endorses changes to Coffs Harbour LEP By Emma DARBIN

COFFS Harbour City Council has endorsed amendments to its Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2013, and resolved to give significant weight to the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan when assessing development applications in the area. The Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan, which was adopted by Council on 22 February 2018, proposes a reduction in the maximum building heights for the town centre and adjoining residential areas, excluding four key corner sites within the Beach Street Village Precinct. The four sites are identified in the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan as having potential to retain the existing maximum building height control of 15.5 metres (approximately five storeys). “Providing opportunities for well-designed and appropriately located fivestorey, mixed use buildings, amongst a generally threestorey built environment, will achieve a balance between

CHH

maintaining the village character with the need to accommodate future growth,” a Council report stated. The proposed LEP amendment seeks to implement the recommended heights within the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan. The Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan is the first Place Manual to be developed for the Coffs Harbour LGA. At Council’s meeting on 11 June, Council resolved to initiate Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan 2013-Housekeeping Amendment No. 3 (including Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan and Local Growth Management Strategy Design Excellence for Industrial Areas). Public exhibition of the planning proposal was undertaken from 30 July to 15 September 2020. Three government/ stakeholder submissions were received during the public exhibition period, and 225 public submissions. Of the 225 public submissions, 224 relate to amendments associated with the Woolgoolga Town Centre

q Council has resolved to give significant weight to the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan when assessing development applications in the village. Photo: Emma Darbin. Masterplan (building heights and land use zones). A total of 223 public submissions strongly supported the proposed LEP amendment and requested that the maximum building heights accord with the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan. The proposed LEP amendment will ensure that Coffs Harbour LEP 2013 remains up to date and accurate, and that the actions and recommendations within

the Coffs Harbour Local Growth Management Strategy 2020 and Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan are implemented. Cr Denise Knight moved a motion at Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 26 November for Council to give significant weight to the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan. “The reason I have added this is because I feel that we have put a lot of work into the Woolgoolga Masterplan, we’ve

had the community on board and all this is saying is that we add some extra weight to the Masterplan,” Cr Knight said. Cr John Arkan, however, was concerned that Council was relying too much on “some noises that are coming from some parts of the community in the Woolgoolga area in regards to the Masterplan”. “There are alot of people that are quite happy for this not to be pushed forward so quickly,” Cr Arkan said.

“We need to be able to assess what is actually happening, there are masses of people out there that are not quite able to present a submission. “Is there a real representation of the wishes of the Northern Beaches, maybe we are not relying on the right information.” Cr Sally Townley, however, said a huge amount of public consultation went into the Woolgoolga Town Centre Masterplan.

Council seeks funds for three major projects By Emma DARBIN FUNDING grants for the Jetty Theatre Project, Brelsford Park Masterplan Project, and Woolgoolga and Sawtell Swimming Pools Redevelopment are being sought by Coffs Harbour City Council. The grants are being sought from the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, which is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments. The fund provides $250 million in grants to support the social and economic recovery of communities affected by bushfire in 47 regional NSW Local Government Areas (LGAs), including the Coffs Harbour LGA. Grants of between $200,000 and $20 million are

available for eligible projects. Council identified three priority infrastructure projects for grant applications to the fund, including the Jetty Theatre Project (total project cost $4m, grant application for $4m), Brelsford Park Masterplan Project (total project cost $5m, grant application for $5m), and Woolgoolga and Sawtell Swimming Pools Redevelopment (total project cost $15m, grant application for $9m). Council recently revealed detailed concept designs for the upgrade of Woolgoolga and Sawtell Swimming Pools. Coffs Harbour Mayor Denise Knight said, “It’s crucial that we have attractive and popular pools for the community and visitors.” Coffs Harbour City Council

General Manager Steve McGrath said, “Sawtell and Woolgoolga Pools are ageing assets, approximately 37 years old, requiring significant work to either upgrade or refurbish them to current standards. “We recognise that aquatic

recreational activities have evolved over time; we are incredibly pleased to get to this stage and with the concepts presented,” Mr McGrath said. Coffs Harbour City councillors unanimously

Future vision for Jetty Strip By Emma DARBIN

A VISION of a new and improved Jetty Strip area is becoming reality, with Coffs Harbour City Council endorsing the Coffs Jetty Strip Structure Plan. At Council’s meeting on 14 May, Council resolved to place the draft Coffs Jetty Strip Structure Plan on public exhibition. The structure plan was prepared to ensure that development within this key area of the Jetty Precinct accords with the community’s desires for the area, strengthens the values of the Jetty Precinct as a whole, and assists in providing a positive interface between existing buildings, proposed development and the streetscape. The plan was placed on public exhibition in May, and 51 submissions were received, which have been taken into consideration

Perspectives in the Jetty Strip Structure Plan include outdoor dining platforms and public seating, timber street furniture, new raised pedestrian crossings, and a reconfigured intersection of Harbour Drive, Marina Drive and Orlando St, Coffs Harbour. At Council’s ordinary meeting on Thursday 26

will be made to facilitate some positive recovery and engagement activities. Successful applications will be announced in April 2021, and final project completion must occur no later than 30 June, 2022. November, resident Stephen Sawtell publicly endorsed the new plan. “The plan is quite incredible, it reminds me of the City Centre revitalisation,” Mr Sawtell said. “The Jetty Strip probably hasn’t had money spent on it for 30-35 years, and people used to talk about how ‘the Jetty is the jewel in the crown of Coffs Harbour’. “If you get this one across, people are going to love you for it.” Council unanimously resolved to endorse the Coffs Jetty Strip Structure Plan, consider funding allocation within the 2021-2022 Council budget to proceed to detailed design for the Coffs Jetty Strip Structure Plan and related road closure and acquisition together with the preparation of a Place Manual and Place and Movement Plan for the Jetty Precinct, and continue negotiations with the NSW Government to acquire the Whale Tail land.

YOU ARE BEING ADVERTISEMENT

LIED TO The recently approved Cultural & Civic Space is a vote of confidence in Coffs Harbour’s future and will be an economic and social asset for ALL residents.

The Cultural & Civic Space is for YOU. It is for your KIDS. It is for your GRANDKIDS. It is for the COMMUNITY. It brings resources and technology to our library; it brings space and opportunity to our gallery and museum; it brings shared meeting spaces and community presentation places; it brings vibrancy and activity to our city centre and economic growth in the short- and long-term. All people, all access. There has, however, been an ongoing disinformation campaign driven by various minority interest groups to discredit or otherwise discourage the development of this much-needed upgrade to our dated infrastructure. In the interests of setting the record straight, here are some FACTS:

LIE : It will cost $120+m FACT: The budget is $76.5 m

There’s been all sorts of figures thrown out there; the real figure, independently audited, is $76.5 million. Any other figure is fake.

LIE : There’s been no community consultation FACT: Consultation has been extensive.

Significant consultation on the Cultrual & Civic Space was first undertaken in 2016. Further engagement took place in Jan–Apr 2018, and again from Nov 2018 through Feb 2019. Consultation, engagement and information has been ongoing via Council’s website, Facebook page, rates notices, advertising, notices, posters and other promotions.

LIE : My rates will go up FACT: No, they won’t

The budget for the new Cultural & Civic Space will be delivered from sale of existing Councilowned properties, savings, and borrowings at an historically low 2% interest (fixed). No variation in rates will be necessary.

LIE : It should be built at City Hill FACT: City Hill is not a good business case.

A civic site at City Hill makes for a fourth city centre in a city that already struggles from having three (the City Centre, the Jetty and the Plaza). Further dividing Coffs in this way does not make economic or business sense, and does not build community cohesion.

This advertisement has been conceived, booked and paid for by your friends, neighbours and fellow residents of Coffs Harbour.

We are concerned that a necessary and overdue upgrade to our cultural and educational infrastructure is being obstructed by a small group of political, financial and revisionist interests. Yes, we all have a right to express our points-of-view; however, we do not believe that a campaign of disinformation and, as the items above attest, outright lies is in the best interests of our community.

State of the Climate 2020

By Emma DARBIN

A BIENNIAL State of the Climate report released by the Bureau of Meteorology has revealed that sea levels are rising around Australia, damaging coastal infrastructure and communities. The sixth biennial State of the Climate 2020 report draws on the latest climate research, encompassing observations, analyses and projections to describe yearto-year variability and longerterm changes in Australia’s climate. The report suggests that, “Australia needs to plan for and adapt to the changing nature of climate risk now and

in the decades ahead.” “Reducing global greenhouse gas emissions will lead to less warming and fewer impacts in the future,” the report states. According to the report, in the coming decades Australia will experience ongoing changes to its climate and the country is projected to see continued increases in air temperatures with more heat extremes and fewer cold extremes, and a continued decrease in cool season rainfall across many regions in southern and eastern Australia, likely to lead to more time in drought, yet more intense, short duration heavy rainfall events. An increase in the number

of dangerous fire weather days is predicted, and a longer fire season for southern and eastern Australia. Further sea level rise and continued warming and acidification of the ocean is also predicted, as well as increased and longer-lasting marine heatwaves that will affect marine environments and raise the likelihood of more frequent and severe bleaching events in coral reefs around Australia, including the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo Reef. Fewer tropical cyclones are predicted, but a greater proportion are projected to be of high intensity, with large variations from year to year.

Statistics provided by the New South Wales Police to

CHY FM launch news service By Sandra MOON

ON Monday December 7, local community radio station 104.1 CHY FM launched a new local radio news service. “CHY FM saw the need to supply our local area with news and information essential and pertinent to where we live,” said Station Manager Angie Vaughan. “And it’s also great information for holiday makers that want to know what’s going on right where they are,” said Ms Vaughan. 104.1 CHY will broadcast news every week, Monday to Friday, at 7 am, 7.30 am, 8 am, 8.30 am, 9 am, 4.30pm and 6 pm supplied to the station from local news service providers, Air News Media. Air News Media is a Coffsbased company that provides locally-based news services to regional and community radio across Australia. Air News Media is owned

and operated by Terry Daniel and Leonie Kennedy. It has a team of reporters throughout the Coffs region, Australia and the globe. “The partnership started when I met Terry and Leonie through the Chamber of Commerce. “As a community radio station we need to get information out to our community and as sponsorship increased, we could go ahead with it,” Ms Vaughn told News Of The Area. CHY is a community radio station with a youth focus and was started back in 1973 by Salvation Army Pastor Mr John Townsend who saw the need for giving youth a voice in their community and providing them with the confidence that learning radio skills could give. Most of the current volunteer announcers and producers are under the age

Busy weekend of rescues for SES

NSW SES Vertical Rescue specialty crews were tasked to reports of a lady who had fallen approximately eight metres off Sawtell Lookout Headland on Sunday. Seven members responded and assisted NSW Ambulance to carry out the patient. Vertical Rescue is just one General Land Rescue (GLR) specialty that Coffs Harbour SES are responsible for across

the Coffs Coast. This wrapped up a busy weekend for the crews with several GLR responses, including a complex extrication of an injured man who fell onto a cruiser moored at Coffs Harbour Marina. Crews worked closely with paramedics to ensure the safest method for patient protection during a challenging operation lasting around an hour.

Changes for Council’s Heritage Executive Committee By Emma DARBIN

FOLLOWING a review of Coffs Harbour City Council’s Heritage Executive Committee, a councillor has been added to the committee, and the committee has been renamed and endorsed to continue until 2024. The committee’s title has been changed to the Heritage Advisory Committee to reflect its role as an advisory committee, the committee’s purpose, objectives, scope

and delegations have been refined, and Cr Tegan Swan has been nominated by fellow councillors to join the newlynamed committee. The committee’s membership has also been expanded to incorporate a wider range of heritage related community sectors, to provide greater insight into the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area’s unique heritage. Recommended committee members include one councillor,

Expressions of interest will be sought to fill all vacant and newly created roles. The Heritage Executive Committee was established in 2003, as an action from Council’s Heritage Strategy.

The purpose of the committee is to provide Council with community driven strategies for the promotion and protection of heritage resources within the local government area. The Committee’s objectives are to provide input into the development of the Coffs Harbour Heritage Strategy, assist Council with actively promoting heritage conservation, assist with studies/surveys to legally protect heritage items, educate and inform Council

and the community through the promotion of the City’s heritage resources, oversee the implementation of the heritage fund, and encourage best practice heritage conservation. The Heritage Committee is delegated to review the merit of and advise on the allocation of individual Local Heritage Fund applications, and assist and advise Council with the identification of heritage items in the Coffs Harbour Local Government Area. The committee meets

monthly, and committee members will serve a term of four years. Coffs Harbour City councillors unanimously resolved at Council’s meeting on Thursday 26 November to adopt the amended Heritage Advisory Committee Terms of Reference, appoint Cr Swan to the committee, note that expressions of interest to the newly created roles will be held, and endorse the continuation of the Heritage Advisory Committee until 2024.

Country kids hit the Sawtell surf By Bruce MACPHAIL

CONTINUING a partnership between The Armidale School (TAS) and Sawtell SLSC which has been going for many years, 25 students from TAS recently obtained their Bronze Medallions. The program sees the students visiting the Club for two or three days before winter and then two days in early November followed by a full week later that month. In addition, the students undertake pool swimming, First Aid and CPR training whilst at school before they visit in November. This program relies heavily on the skills and commitment of many members of our club. Five trainers, all Life Members of the Club, were

assisted by a further thirteen club members who provided additional training and water safety support and were prepared to set aside some time during the TAS visit, demonstrating the willingness of Club members to become involved in community ventures such as this. The surf conditions on the Friday of the assessment were particularly challenging and the Run Swim Run and board components of that assessment demonstrated the high level of surf skills achieved by all the students. The Club looks forward to renewing an association with these students as most will be participating in the Coffs Ocean Swim being organized by Sawtell SLSC on Sunday 28 March 2021.

Home Matters film launch BELLINGEN, a little town taking on a big issue. As the township’s housing crisis reaches a tipping point, Bellingen & Nambucca Shire Housing Matters Action Group presents the world premiere of their film Home Matters at the Bellingen Memorial Hall on Tuesday 15 December, 5.30-7.30pm. Following the screening a Q&A with panelists Bellingen Shire Mayor, Dominic King and Housing Matters Action Group Chair,

Kerry Pearse will seek to address the “where to now” as the area looks down the barrel of an unprecedented housing crisis. The film follows the members of the Bellingen Nambucca Affordable Housing Action Group from its inception in 2017 when the local community first came together to discuss increasing community concerns around the lack of affordable housing. The film captures personal stories interwoven

with the Action Group’s journey to date, tracking the group’s efforts to inform the recently approved Bellingen Shire Local Housing Strategy Action Plan 2020-2040. Fast forward to December 2020 and it’s an unfinished story that we're living through now, as housing affordability blowouts shatter the viability of permanent accommodation for many who call this pretty little township “home”. The Q&A following the

screening seeks to tackle this reality head on and involve all of us, newcomers included, in a community conversation about possible ways forward. “We want to continue to be an inclusive, vibrant community. “Government needs to address housing affordability but we also need to find local community-driven solutions,” Action Group Chair, Kerry Pearse said. "The crisis is real, the

www.newsofthearea.com.au stakes are high and emotions are strong. “However most of us or our families moved here at some point. “For the reasons we came, other people want to live here. It's tempting to get into an adversarial debate about it, but it's complicated and there's no straightforward answers,” said Kerry. Mayor Dominic King said that Bellingen had a strong history of community driven action. “We invite the local community, new and existing to be part of the

solution and participate in this important discussion that affects us all,” he said. Home Matters reminds audiences that the grassroots can create positive change and that everyone deserves a safe, secure and affordable home.

New Report Says Gas Is Not The Answer

By Andrew VIVIAN THE Federal Government’s ‘Gas Led Recovery’ has been roundly criticised by many political commentators. A major concern has been the membership of the National COVID-19 Commission, which recommended the strategy, and the apparent lack of transparency surrounding the Commission. The strategy itself has been condemned by environmentalists as being short-sighted and for ignoring its effects on climate

change. A new report from the Climate Council has revealed that the extent to which gas is driving climate change is likely to be worse than the official figures suggest. The Climate Council’s CEO, Amanda McKenzie, said, “We are already in the grip of a climate crisis, having endured the Black Summer bushfires, devastating drought and the third mass bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef in five years. “The only way to keep us safe is to transition to renewables as quickly as possible,” she said. Recent Federal Government data shows

that emissions from gas have continued to rise over the past 12 months, but the report reveals that the real figure is likely to be even higher. “Our report shows that emissions from gas are not accurately reported in Australia," said Ms McKenzie. A key finding from the report is that the gas industry is the second largest user of gas in Australia. More than a quarter of the gas consumed domestically is burned by the gas industry in the process of turning it into LNG before it is sent overseas.  The report suggests that the international gas market is in crisis, and Australia is

dangerously exposed to job losses and ongoing power price volatility. Methane is the main component of gas. It is a greenhouse gas which is nearly 100 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the short term. At every stage of the gas supply chain large quantities of methane are emitted.  According to the Climate Council, the Australian Energy Market Operator has made it clear that the need for gas will continue to diminish over the next 20 years.   Climate Councillor and former head of BP Australasia, Greg Bourne, said, “Rising emissions from the gas

industry are cancelling out the gains Australia has made in building a record amount of solar and wind. “Why would we invest in something that is dirty and dangerous when there are clean and cheap alternatives when, with careful planning, Australia can transition to 100 percent renewable electricity and storage quickly and efficiently?” he added. The Climate Council’s ‘Clean Jobs Plan’ found that 76,000 jobs can be created in the short term, getting Australians back to work and tackling climate change. Liisa Rusanen, from the Coffs Coast Climate Action Group, said that the Federal

“It provides you with skills that you can utilize in any job role building resilience, team work, confidence, and the ability to talk to people from all walks of life young and old,” she said. “Experience in the hospitality industry will also provide you with the experience and security of being able to get a job anywhere.” Danielle Wallace, owner/ manager of The Sunset Room Italian restaurant and bar at Woolgoolga agrees that applications from Australians have been down in the last twelve months. “We have been blessed that we have had experienced staff from all over the world, French, Italian and Venezuela for example. “But with borders opening and the berry picking season winding down they will move on,” she said. Ms Wallace would love to get more applications from Aussies and thinks the hospitality industry is a ticket to the world. “The hospitality industry is a colourful, fun, fabulous industry that can take you all

over the world.” Some strategies that can assist to address the critical staff gaps are rolling out across the region. Among these is the digital platform designed by Regional Development Australia Mid North Coast (RDAMNC) called My Future Workforce (MFW). “We understand the recruitment process can be difficult and expensive for small employers,” said Kerry Grace, CEO of Regional Development Australia Mid North Coast. “We designed My Future Workforce to make job advertising, and job finding easier for all parties in our regional communities and it’s a free service that’s different to national or commercial

Staff Shortages Hit Hospo By Sandra MOON

HOLIDAYS are fast approaching and is typically the busiest time of year for our friends and family in hospitality. But staffing rates in the industry have dropped due to the tough start to 2020 as bushfires impacted the region and tourist numbers decreased. Then Covid-19 came further restricting service and forcing many business owners to scale down operations. Now, as business is scaling up again across the region the multiple impacts on the hospitality industry are being felt particularly as the industry grapples to find applicants for jobs. Covid Safe procedures also come at a cost, taking staff away from normal service procedures. To service visitors in a professional manner, the industry is in need of skilled hospitality staff. Even larger organisations like clubs and pubs that have designated Human Resources staff are finding it hard to attract staff, some have reported less than 10

applicants for advertised positions that in previous years would have had over 100. Karen Curnow, the Human Relations Manager at CEX in Coffs Harbour, is

encouraging people to take up a position in hospitality this summer season. “The hospitality industry is a great place to begin your working life whether it's your chosen career or not.

Government’s ‘gas-led recovery’ is not a recovery plan at all, but a way of propping up the fossil fuel industry. “The evidence is clear that there are more sustainable jobs in renewable energy than in producing gas,” she said. “It’s a no brainer if we can create jobs while preserving our waterways, forests and farmland." The report, called ‘Passing Gas: Why Renewables Are the Future’, can be found at https://climc.nl/3ljmlX2 and the ‘Clean Jobs Plan’ can be accessed at https:// www.climatecouncil.org.au/ resources/clean-jobs-plan.

services as it’s been designed by our local employers and for our local employers.” FInd more information at myfutureworkforce.com.au Another initiative is the Summer Skills – Free Skills Training for 2020 launched by the NSW Department of Education. The program invites Year 12 school leavers to attend short courses that include the participation in safe food handling practice, provide responsible gambling services, provide responsible service of alcohol and use hygienic practices for food safety – all of which have been mentioned by employers as desirable when they look to hire for the upcoming season.

Seven-storey highrise approved for Jetty area By Emma DARBIN AN impressive seven-storey residential flat building containing 46 apartments and two ground floor businesses in Orlando St, Coffs Harbour has been approved by Coffs Harbour City Council, despite the highrise breaching height limit restrictions in the area. The seven storey apartment and commercial complex includes commercial tenancies on the lower level and a roof terrace on the top floor. The corner site is currently occupied by a single storey commercial premises on the corner of Orlando St and a single storey residential dwelling in Collingwood St, which will be demolished as part of the proposal. The development application for the building was publicly exhibited, with Council receiving 41 submissions on the development, including eighteen objecting to the development. Public submission issues included the height

breach, traffic impacts, overshadowing impacts, being out of scale with the area, not complying with planning instruments, setbacks, the development setting a precedent, and restrictions on future residents not being able to complain about neighbouring noise. The development was reported to Council for determination due to ‘significant public interest and community input’, as well as the development proposing to vary a development standard in the Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2013 by more than 10%. The proposed height of the building is 21.4 metres, which is 2.4 metres above the allowed 19 metre limit. A Council report on the development stated “the request to vary the height development standard within the Coffs Harbour Local Environmental Plan 2013 can be supported as the proposal continues to q A seven-storey highrise has been approved by Council for the achieve the objectives of Jetty area, despite it breaching height restrictions by one storey. the height development Photo: Coffs Harbour City Council. standard, the zoning and is in the public interest”.

“It is 12 percent above the building height, which actually is a whole extra floor, and so you kind of ask ‘is a building height not a building height when it’s at the Jetty?’” Cr Paul Amos also couldn’t condone Council breaching it’s height limit restrictions for the highrise. “I could not support it because of the consistency; in this instance we have a building that’s zoned to take six storeys and we have a seven-storey building on it,” Cr Amos said. “There will be people that will have their amenity eroded, in the form of a view taken. “I believe that it’s a great looking building, and in a sixstorey form I would have no worries supporting this.” Cr Denise Knight urged fellow councillors to be careful when assessing developments which breach Council’s building height limits. “We have to be careful on our building heights because it is a thing that everybody is watching, and we do have an LEP, so I think we just need to be very cautious and make every decision on its merit as the DAs come through,” Cr Knight said. Council resolved to support the request to vary a development standard of Coffs Harbour LEP 2013 for the variation of the Height of Buildings Standard for the development, approve the development for a residential flat building (46 apartments) and business premises (2 tenancies at ground floor) on the corner of Collingwood and Orlando St, Coffs Harbour, subject to conditions. Cr Denise Knight, Cr Michael Adendorff, Cr John Arkan, Cr George Cecato, Cr Keith Rhoades and Cr Tegan Swan voted for the development to be approved, and Cr Paul Amos and Cr Sally Townley voted against.

Go Local First “Small businesses are the first to lend a hand in our communities"

By Sandra MOON

COFFS Harbour Chamber of Commerce is encouraging people to support local small businesses and services these holidays and into 2021 by spending their money on home ground. The Go Local First campaign was launched last week and is an initiative coordinated locally by the Chamber and is being run nationally by the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA). While the extension of JobKeeper and JobSeeker payments has brought some temporary relief, many of the country’s three and a half million small businesses face ongoing challenges to keep their doors open. Here on the Coffs Coast over six thousand small businesses employ around thirty thousand local workers. Ray Smith, President of the Coffs Harbour Chamber of Commerce, is calling for locals and businesses alike to rally behind our small businesses. “Just like we’ve done before during the bushfires, we’re calling on local people

to back local businesses and put their community first,” he said. “Small businesses are the first to lend a hand in our communities when it comes to supporting local school fetes, sporting teams and charity initiatives. “Now it’s our turn to show them we’ve got their backs too. “Because unlike big businesses, small local businesses don’t have deep pockets to weather this downturn,” Mr Smith told News Of The Area. “From the local food producer or restauranteur to gift shop, allied health professionals and corner store, small businesses together make something far more valuable than anything they do or sell. “They are vital to our everyday lives – especially now in our economic recovery. “By spending locally, we help keep money in our town, save local jobs and get the Coffs Coast going again. “When small businesses thrive, local communities thrive,” he said. Spending money is not

the only way the Chamber is encouraging support for small businesses, also encouraging some digital spend as well, such as online reviews which Garth Shipperlee, also of the Chamber of Commerce, says are proving just as vital as first hand recommendations. He said, “The ‘Go Local Campaign’ will have a strong digital presence with the Chamber of Commerce actively sharing local businesses stories across their social media channels.” Mr Smith said, “By posting stories and reviews online it provides the opportunity to hear about what others are doing to support small business, to learn from them and to also to be able to share in their experiences. “It all helps convey the importance of supporting small businesses and helps build the momentum.” A range of social media assets have also been developed for use across business and personal social media profiles too. Mr Shipperlee encourages business owners and customers to use the #CoffsGoLocalFirst hashtag on their own posts too.

Indigenous art at the Uniting Church By David TUNE

THE Grapevine Christian Resource Centre at the Coffs Harbour Uniting Church is presenting the ‘Canvas, Colour and Culture’ exhibition in partnership with the Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre from Corindi Beach. Running until 19 December, the exhibition displays contemporary expressions of Aboriginal art by over a dozen Indigenous artists from across regional northern NSW, with some artworks available for purchase. Lyndall Coomber is coordinating the event and said, “We were very lucky to have the opportunity to put on this display, as the gallery at Yarrawarra is being used for an exciting installation showcasing the ‘Cleverman’ exhibition, and as a result we have been able to show these works from their collection.” “We believe that by working together and building strong relationships we can be an effective outreach centre for our community.”

A small amount of funding is available and shared with the Coffs Harbour, Grafton and Nambucca offices but the demand far exceeds that. “The funding is not much and a lot of people are missing out. “Rental stress in particular is a big thing here. “We have an enormous amount of phone calls on rental stress and we simply can't cater for the demand,” she said. Some of the other reasons for the surge in demand this year according to Mrs Eather are businesses closing down due to the fires, job loss, family breakdown and substance abuse. Incredibly she has also had two families that have spent all their Christmas money on

medical bills and transport of sick children to Westmead Hospital. “Sadly these families have faced costly medical expenses and had to use all their Christmas money,” she said. Despite no official funding for Adopt A Family or campaigning Mrs Eather said people can still call her and ask to donate for a specific family and she can provide the children’s ages and so on. “That would be wonderful and they can bring anything up to our church that they want to such as toys, gift vouchers and tinned and stored food that is non perishable.” Her current list of families exceeds forty and includes some large families with six or more children. The address for donations is 40 Mastracolas Road and she asks if donors can bring items preferably by December 16.

Salvos Call for Xmas Help For Families By Sandra MOON

MARIE Eather, Administration Assistant at the Salvation Army at Coffs Harbour, is used to being busy at this time of year as the charity prepares to help out families in need at Christmas and over the holiday season. For the last fourteen years Mrs Eather has worked on the Adopt A Family campaign, which is not running this year, however the charity is amongst several in the area desperately looking for donations to meet the demand. Mrs Eather said, “The need is a lot greater this year. “Certain parts of the community especially families and anyone with kids are feeling the impact of the fires, floods and COVID-19. “They are finding it really difficult.” She told News Of The Area

“Forgotten and ignored” By Miles PROUST

PEOPLE with disabilities have been “forgotten and ignored” during the COVID-19 pandemic according to a report by the Disability Royal Commission. Published on November 30, the report found it was a “serious failing” that no government agency had consulted with disability advocacy organisations

during the initial stages of the pandemic. Federal Greens Senator and disability advocate, Jordon Steele-John said, "It proves that we were shut out of emergency response planning at the beginning of the pandemic, or not even considered, and as a result our lives were put at risk.” The report made 22 recommendations that would increase support for people

Published just three days before International Day of People with Disability, the report highlights the need for further public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability. Founder of Radio Equal Network Chloe Reading said there is “still a long way to go” for disability inclusion. “This year people with disabilities were really affected - day programs were cancelled, so people missed that socialisation and support and transport got

Founded last year, Radio Equal Network is a disability inclusive digital radio station based in Coffs Harbour which Ms Reading setup because of the lack of inclusive broadcasting. “If I can do an inclusive radio network, then the rest of the world can be inclusive as well,” said Ms Reading.

Federal funds for Woolgoolga Lake Working Group By Emma DARBIN

WOOLGOOLGA Lake Working Group has been successful in its application for a $5,000 Federal Government grant, allowing the group to continue its surveillance of the local Woolgoolga waterway. The 2020 Supplementary Volunteer Grant funding was allocated by the Australian Department of Social Services, and supported by The Centre for Volunteering. Woolgoolga Lake Working Group is looking forward to using the grant funds to improve the monitoring and recording of changes in the Woolgoolga Lake area, and for volunteer training and the purchase of equipment. The group now intends to purchase a drone to monitor Woolgoolga Lake for erosion, pollution, sand and sediment build up. Water quality testing kits are now being used by the group, with monthly testing commencing at specified sites around the lake to enable group members to monitor the lake more closely. The kits were purchased through grant funding from Coffs Harbour City Council’s Environmental Levy Grants. The group plans to

commence work on the stabilisation of the Woolgoolga Lake Reserve foreshore in February, using Coffs Harbour City Council Community Infrastructure Grant funding received by the group in July. Woolgoolga Lake Working Group secretary Karen Dallas said the small proactive group has a strong core membership of 22 members who care about the local environment and wish to save Woolgoolga Lake and its surrounds for everyone to enjoy. “For the environment, ecosystems, cultural and heritage, marine life, bird life, flora and fauna for locals and visitors to enjoy now and for the future,” Karen said. The Centre for Volunteering received 1,417 applications for grant funding and 203 organisations were successful, with a total funding pool of $748,000 available in NSW. “Woolgoolga Lake Working Group Inc was lucky enough to be awarded $5,000,” Karen said. The Centre for Volunteering CEO Gemma Rygate said the grants make it possible for organisations to buy equipment, or funding can go towards things like volunteer training.

q Woolgoolga Lake Working Group members have received $5,000 Federal Government funding to continue their beautification efforts of the local waterway. Photo: Woolgoolga Lake Working Group. “Funding in this round is particularly important to assist organisations to transition their volunteer programs back into operation following the disruption caused by COVID-19,” Ms Rygate said. “Volunteers are vital to building resilient

communities and these small grants will support volunteer re-engagement and help organisations adapting practices to support volunteers’ safety, as the economy reopens.” Other successful recipients of the recent grant funding in the Coffs Harbour

region include Woolgoolga Seniors Centre ($4,500), Bellingen Mentor Group Incorporated ($4,000), Coffs Coast Jump Club Inc ($5,000), Coffs Colts Cricket Club Incorporated ($1,250), Coffs Harbour Girl Guides ($2,750), Coffs Harbour Touch Association ($1,100),

Country Women’s Association of NSW, Glenreagh Branch ($4,820), and Crossmaglen Public School P&C Association ($4,500). Anyone interested in joining Woolgoolga Lake Working Group can contact the group at wlwg2456@ gmail.com.

HYPOTHETICAL Taking a Legal Look

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

By Manny WOOD

The not-so-wise visitor

DEAR Jasminda,

MARY and Joseph, first home buyers, decide that renovating a barn on a rural property is a good way for them to enter the market and start a future for them and their first child who is due to be born on 25 December. They conduct pest and building inspections and pay a 10% deposit. The pest report indicates that the barn has severe termite damage and with the assistance of their solicitor, they are able to negotiate a condition in the contract whereby the damage is repaired prior to settlement. The barn is repaired accordingly and the couple move-in. As advised by their solicitor, they take-out a comprehensive home insurance policy. Mary and Joseph are content to proceed with a home birth, despite the modest state of the barn. After a successful birth to a beautiful baby boy, they are surprised when three visitors arrive. Unfortunately, upon entering the barn, the visitors startle the roosting chickens who attack one of the not-sowise visitors. In attempting to flee, the visitor trips on a protruding floorboard and despite landing on a bale of hay, suffers a serious injury to his wrist. The injury prevents the visitor from travelling and from working for several months. Rehabilitation is not particularly effective and the visitor is unfortunately left with a lasting disability. Mary and Joseph are concerned that their visitor will sue them and they consult their solicitor. The solicitor advises them that because they have an appropriate insurance policy, they will be protected and that any compensation that their visitor may be entitled to, can be negotiated with, and ultimately paid by their insurer. Their visitor wisely makes a claim against the insurer and on the following Christmas celebrates with a lump sum payout. If YOU would like a particular issue addressed please email Manny at manny.wood@ticliblaxland.com.au or call him on (02) 6648 7487.

HOW come my vegan friend eats food that’s made to look like meat? Why would they want to be reminded of the thing they hate? Ms Lana W. Dear Lana,

Action on climate change DEAR News Of The Area, THE front page of last week's Coffs Coast News of the Area (4 December Edition) draws attention to the crisis we are facing due to climate change. The evidence is clear that climate change is a growing threat to Australian lives and livelihoods. We only need to look locally at recent bushfires with the devastation of koalas and other fauna, and our polluted marine environment, to remind us that we are facing a climate tsunami on a world scale. Covid-19 disruption gives

So it is hopeful to see Coffs Coast locals dialoguing with our local members about action on the economy and climate. The open letter presented by the Coffs Coast Climate Action Group is worth reading on www. coffsclimateaction.weebly. com/build-coffs-future which lists a cross section of our community who have signed. It suggests ways in which we can build a safe and thriving future for the Coffs Coast: renewable energy, transport (electric vehicles,

public transport and cycling infrastructure), building and retro-fitting energy-efficient social housing, Indigenousled land management, environmental restoration, eco-tourism, regenerative agriculture, plus the training and education sectors to support all of these. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said last Thursday, "Human activities are the root of our descent toward chaos. “But that means that human action can help to solve it." Let's act now before it is too late! Regards, Elaine SHERWOOD, Coffs Harbour.

Mmm. This is an interesting one. Excellent question. There is an ever-growing selection of plant-based meals that resemble their carnivorous counterparts. You raise a valid point. Having said that, why do many meat cuts not resemble the animal they’ve come from? A pork sausage looks nothing like a pig. Mince is a clever disguise of some mashed up cow and a schnitzel looks far more appealing than a chicken leg or wing. I’d say many meat eaters feel more comfortable with food that isn’t confronting or a reminder of what they’re really eating. Life is full of superficialities. Some people adorn their homes with plastic plants. Synthetic clothes are made to look like natural fibres. Floorboards are replaced with vinyl timber-look designs. At Christmas, people hang plastic snowflakes from plastic trees and spray fake snow on windows that are closed to keep out the 40 degree heat. It’s not just our surroundings that are an illusion. Fake lashes. Injected lips. False nails. Silicon implants. Some people should carry a fire hazard warning as they’d probably melt or combust in heatwave conditions. Lana, I’ve gone off on a tangent here, but you get the drift. All is not what it seems in many facets of life. Shaping plant-based ingredients into meat replicas seems pretty low on the ‘cause for alarm’ list. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Approval of the Taj Mahal no surprise DEAR News Of The Area,

From the Mayor’s desk By Cr Dominic KING (Mayor) Bellingen Shire Council

Looking back at 2020 LOOKING back and taking stock on the year that was, I think our Shire’s journey has been about connecting with individuals, community groups, and businesses to work together and deliver local and vocal responses to the significant challenges we’ve all faced. There’s certainly no doubt that the recent drought, bushfires, floods and the current pandemic crisis have certainly challenged us all and re-focussed our efforts to deal with the environmental, social and economic challenges our Shire faces now and into the future. I think these efforts have brought out the best in everybody, and I know I’m not alone with how proud I am of how our community and representatives from Council, local medical, emergency, Chambers of Commerce and community service providers have come together and what they’ve managed to achieve in challenging circumstances. For example, earlier this year our own local medical and health professionals formed the Clinical Action Group and selffunded the establishment of our Shire’s very own COVID-19 Clinic, which commenced testing long before any State of Federal Government funded testing clinics were operational. At the same time our Shire’s Neighbourhood Care and Business Support Networks have also been working tirelessly behind the scenes to strengthen our community’s support networks and capacity to respond to the evolving challenges we anticipate we will face as a community in the future. Because of these groups' joint efforts to establish these networks amongst our families, friends, and neighbours, they have been able to help protect the health and wellbeing of our community and make sure that as a community we remained informed, engaged and aware of each other through some pretty tough times. Our Rural Fire Brigade Firefighters and State Emergency Services personnel, who battled bush fires burning in and around our Shire, also deserve praise as these homegrown heroes put the safety of our community first as they fought to contain fires in extremely challenging circumstances, both in terms of local terrain and prevailing weather conditions. Community coordination and support agencies including the Red Cross, Uniting Church, Anglicare, Salvation Army and Family Community Services also made a significant contribution towards meeting the range of challenges these bushfires presented to our community, and I know the support they provided made a real difference for many in our Shire. The combined efforts of Council’s indoor and outdoor staff also deserve recognition, as they have worked together with our community to deliver projects, resources and information to support the key community areas of clinical support, community and business support services and the maintenance of Council’s essential services. There are also many other groups and individuals who have also given the gift of their time attention to help us work through the challenges of the year that was, and their energy and enthusiasm to help others has strengthened our community, and once again demonstrated the amazing things that can be achieved when we all work together.

IT was no surprise to read that the NSW Minister for planning, the honourable Robert Gordon Stokes, has given the tick of approval for our $76 million Taj Mahal. A single decision flying in the face of thousands of local residents who are vehemently opposed to the construction of this unnecessary white elephant. I wonder if Minister Stokes will be the one

responsible for bringing in the administrators when the budget blows out to $100 million. Or will he wait until it gets to $150 million? It's London to a brick that it surely will. Remember Port Macquarie? And while we are speaking of bricks, has anyone found the thousands of bricks that were purchased in 1985 for extending the height of the current council chambers? Never mind, rate increases can buy some more.

Blessed We Are DEAR News Of The Area,

SUBSCRIBING (non voluntarily) to Bellingen Shire Council, thrilled I am to be served by, as reported, the best regional Council in NSW. If Bellingen is the best try and imagine the worst. I must ask, does this award represent the performance of all regional Councils or just those prepared to spend ratepayers money on a submission, described by a Council representative as a huge body of work? No doubt a huge body of work cost ratepayers a huge body of cash, better expended on roads rather than to boost someone's ego. The time prior to submission was described by our Mayor as torrid, with the

area experiencing floods, bushfires, drought and then Covid. We have had no serious flood for years, the Shire dodged the fires which ravaged adjoining Shires, dry late 2019 and early 2020 but not a serious drought locally. Covid has been a stressful time for some, and certainly a hit for some businesses, mainly hospitality and travel, but ups and downs are the reality in the real world. How was Council impacted by any of the above, apart from some assistance during Covid? Their biggest headache is to spend and distribute those huge government packages to recover from something that basically never impacted our Shire. I concede that these days community

Denying democracy? DEAR News Of The Area,

HAS this Council acted illegally by denying it's citizen's their right to vote last September? From the point of democracy, they most certainly have and the rate payers of Coffs Harbour have been robbed of it. Not even the USA delayed their vote despite suffering the most from the COVID pandemic. Our Council had no justifiable reason to delay our Council vote until November 2021 and this was clearly done so the dictatorship that calls itself our Council can have it's own way instead of acting on the behalf of it's ratepayers.

They are now acting beyond their elected period and this is an abuse of their powers, in particular our Mayor with her continuous misuse of the casting vote. Therefore I see it justifiable that we ratepayers go on strike and defer our rate payments until the next Council election. This Council can either bring forward the election straight away or we stop paying our rates until November 2021. We did not vote for them beyond September 2020. We do not have to support them. Regards, Peter MARTIN.

Wind turbines not the answer DEAR News Of The Area I NOTE the banner of the Coffs Coast Climate Action Group displays wind turbines as if they are the answer to “climate change”. Wind turbines do not create energy. They extract energy from the atmosphere and convert it to electricity. If there were sufficient numbers of wind turbines to meet our energy needs they would extract vast quantities of energy from the atmosphere. If a minute increase in carbon dioxide

causes a “climate emergency”, what would this vast extraction of energy from the atmosphere have on climate? The least it could cause would be changes to the local weather and at worst it could alter the climate. And where are these turbines to be located? In order to avoid energy loss in transmission they need to be located near to where the electricity is to be consumed. Maybe smothering the hills surrounding Coffs Harbour or off the coast or better still in some else’s backyard. Regards, W Duesbury, Boambee.

expectations of local governments' role is more than just roads and bridges but should not extend to become the local nappy changer, for an increasingly oriented welfare society. That other furphy floated, being that our shire is 57% unrateable. What a bonus not having to service this huge backyard, no obligation to spend a cent on National Parks and State Forests. But the big one, Waterfall Way east to west and Pacific Highway north to south. Two main highways intersecting the Shire, funded by State and Federal. Contracted maintenance on Waterfall Way yet another money tree. I do agree with our Mayor though, we are so lucky to live in such a unique and beautiful area. Regards, Darcey BROWNING.

Great local initiative DEAR News of the Area, IT was great to see such a positive local initiative on Page 1 and 2 of the December 4 Edition of News Of The Area. Very heartening to see local businesses and groups getting together to support our community to build a sustainable and socially responsible future. I hope our state and federal politicians will listen to these ideas instead of fossil fuel developments in the “Gas led Recovery” currently being proposed federally by Scott Morrison. We need to work together on the Coffs Coast to produce a better future for all. Yours Sincerely, Michael FAULKNER, Coffs Harbour.

Integrity lost? DEAR News Of The Area, WHAT happened to integrity in Coffs Harbour. There is certainly NONE in evidence from our Council. It appears that whenever a decision has to be made they are unable to pass the amendment without the Casting vote of Mayor Denise Knight. Not only does the Casting Vote relate to the Civic Space but included now we have the Airport lease and the sale of property in Rose Avenue. Not one of these decisions suggests democracy to me. The wishes of the community are being totally ignored. Just where are people to park when they have to use that monstrosity. This issue has been totally ignored and of course will continue to be as it is of no consequence to those who have Council parking supplied. Regards, Ann DEANS, North Boambee Valley.

the abundant bird life.

NEWS OF THE AREA

We know the rental market on the Coffs Coast is a competitive one at the best of times.

WE know the rental market on the Coffs Coast is a competitive one at the best of times. However, in 2020, that is truer than ever, with hordes of families relocating to the Coffs Coast as a flow on effect from Covid-19. While it can be tough to secure a rental property, there are steps you can take to ensure you give yourself the best chance of getting approved for a property. As always, preparation is key. Before you inspect a rental property, make sure you have the following documentation prepared, so that if you like the property on inspection, you can move quickly towards applying. You will need: your deposit/rental ledger, a copy of payslips or bank statements, reference letters, several forms of photo ID (100

points) and a cover letter. If you have pets, it is also useful to get a pet reference for the animal, preferably from a previous or current landlord. If there is going to be more than one person applying to be on the lease, make sure all your potential housemates are also prepared with the correct documentation. To beat the rush of other applicants, it is also helpful to request an application form pre-inspection (or download one from online), and then bring the application to the inspection ready to go. When you find a property you like, contact the listed agent as soon as possible to arrange an inspection. Listings for inspection times may also be posted online, so remember to check there to see what is open. You may be able to time it well and attend several

house inspections in the same morning. First impressions are always important, so when you attend an inspection, remember to put your best foot forward. Introduce yourself to the

agents, be polite, friendly, and enthusiastic. Remember to ask questions! When attending an inspection, being prepared financially to pay the first month’s rent and a bond if

your application is accepted, can help avoid stress when accepted. It is also good practice to follow up with the agent in the days following the inspection. This demonstrates a readiness and enthusiasm

to move forward with your application and will keep your name and application fresh in the mind of the property manager. Good luck, and happy renting.

Woopi Beach Market returns By Emma DARBIN WOOPI Beach Markets will return to Woolgoolga Beach Reserve on Saturday 12 December from 7.30am to 1.30pm, just in time for those last minute Christmas gifts. It is the first market to be held since March, with the markets forced to close due to COVID-19 public health order restrictions and Coffs Harbour City Council works being undertaken on Woolgoolga Beach Reserve. Around 50 stallholders will be turning up to the first market back, and entertainment will be provided by Errol Gray who will delight the crowd with great Aussie songs and humour. Marine Rescue Woolgoolga will run its famous BBQ stand, offering tasty sausage sandwiches, vegetarian sausage sandwiches, and bacon and egg rolls for breakfast. Market coordinator Susie

Robson said everyone was really excited for the return of the popular market. “Everybody’s really keen, everybody around town is really excited and can’t wait for the markets to start again, because they haven’t had anything in the area for so long,” Susie said. “We are all really excited about it and raring to go, and we thank the community for their support again, the community is a great support to us.” Susie said she’d had a good response from stallholders wishing to sell their wares at the upcoming market. “We’ve got a very good response to it; we’ve got quite a few new ones (stallholders) coming on board as well, which is great,” she said. Products on offer at the market include food, jewellery, plants, childrenswear, dog accessories, essential oils, swimwear and much more.

The Woopi Beach Market will be held on the second Saturday of every month,

with an additional market to possibly be held on Sunday 27 December.

Celestial Festive lights MANY families enjoy the Christmas light displays and fireworks at this time of year. But why stop there? Something pretty exciting is unfolding in the heavens as well. Win Howard, local astronomy expert and President of the Coffs Harbour Astronomical Society told News Of The Area that a very rare event, which last occurred 400 years ago, is taking place right now. “Every evening through December you can see the very close approach, or conjunction, of the two brightest planets in the sky; Jupiter and Saturn,” Win said. “As the planets in our solar system orbit the sun, it’s a bit like a racetrack, and in this case from our viewpoint on Earth it will look as if Jupiter’s catching up with Saturn. “You can start seeing them with the

naked eye in the Western sky about half an hour after sunset, and each night they’re getting closer together until on 21 December they will be virtually impossible to separate with the naked eye, though you’ll be able to see them as separate planets through binoculars or a small telescope. “Also, every couple of years Earth catches up to Mars, which can now be seen as a bright orange object virtually opposite Saturn and Jupiter.” The sky may seem peaceful and uncomplicated when you’re gazing up at it, but don’t be fooled. Win explained, “The other major event happening currently is Elon Musk continuing to launch 40,000 satellites, about

to laugh with mates afterwards during a social game of touch footy. The guest speakers are Dr Rosie Ross from Northside Health; Jeremy Holder, a former Army medic, intensive care ambulance officer and Managing Director of TacMed Australia; Gus Wilson, the owner of the Jolly Roger Barber Bar, an army veteran, rugby coach and marriage celebrant;

affected by the bushfires, and government and the community have rallied to help those affected. As previously reported in News Of The Area, initiatives such as BackTrack repairing fences in partnership with Coffs Harbour City Council Bushfire Recovery have helped with the physical recovery.

Win said. “There was already a Latin word for ‘comet’ in Julius Caesar’s time, so presumably it would have been recorded as such if that’s what it was.” Win’s advice for people interested in the night sky is simply to go somewhere free of artificial light, about 10 km out of town. And if you’re interested in joining the Coffs Harbour Astronomical Society, meetings are held at the Boambee East Community Centre in Bruce King Drive, Boambee East, from 7pm on the first Monday of the month (except January), or go to https://coffsastro.weebly.com.

q Win Howard with all you need for a good view of the night sky.

Council’s Community Recovery Officer has been working since April with bushfire-affected communities of the Orara Valley, and Nana Glen in particular. She has been meeting with residents and helping to link people with NGOs and write grant applications to access state and federal government grants. Melinda, and others, noticed that women readily became involved in early projects, which indicated that other initiatives might

be needed to engage men. The idea of the men’s health day came together from discussions with the community and the people working with it, so that men could come to grips with important issues in a friendly, supportive environment.

His favourite place to write is at the desk in the back of his kombi, overlooking a local surf break. While working with renewable energy has been the focus of Steven's career, his thirst for adventure has led him to sail across oceans and work as a scuba instructor on the Great Barrier Reef.

NBN, 7.30pm

We know what you’re thinking: Surely it’s not already time for the Christmas specials?! But alas, 2020, a year that has seemed to both drag and ﬂy by is coming to a close and that means concerts and compilations and permission to eat many, many fruit mince pies. Singing sensation and all-round legend Delta Goodrem (pictured) hosts this special concert celebration from the Sydney Opera House. The concert is in tribute to the resilience of the Australian spirit of 2020 and features performances from Olivia Newton-John and Vera Blue.

It’s hard to imagine that there could be much left for Maggie Beer to learn about food. But the celebrity chef and <i>Great Australian Bake Off</i> judge has long held a secret longing to discover more about Japanese food. Twenty years after her first visit to Tokyo, Beer returns to the Land of the Rising Sun, hoping to amass enough knowledge to produce a Japanese-inspired feast for her friends back in the Barossa. Her travels across the country take viewers from Tokyo across the mountains to rural Noto Peninsula, a hidden gem largely undiscovered by tourists, then south to Osaka. Along the way, she finds plenty of inspiration in the country’s expert chefs and elegant dishes.

But the former Beatle had a new album to promote, and was prepared to speak to BBC Radio One DJ Andy Peebles in New York. Nobody could have known that the worldexclusive interview would have been his last – Lennon was murdered just 48 hours later.

COFFS COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

A-League Ahead STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 56 While the situation could be a distraction, the 31 yearold Hoffman is part of an experienced crew made up of captain Nigel Boogard, Roy O'Donovan and Nikolai Topor-Stanley that ensures the team keeps its eye on the goals. “Lucky for us we’ve got good leaders at the club that are making sure that we’re focussed on what’s going on, on the field and that’s just a build on what we did so well at the back end of last year,”

he said. “We’ve got boys that have been around the league a long time that are seasoned professionals that understand that in football this happens, coaches move on, players move on. “But what we can control as players is our performance and for us we’ve got enough boys that are around, enough boys with enough quality to play good football and get good results.”

Hat trick and then some By Brad GREENSHIELDS

PERFORMING a rare feat on Saturday has made Cooper Wallace the talk of the local cricket community. The Diggers under-14s player claimed a double hattrick - that’s four wickets in four balls. Playing against Northern Districts at Reg Ryan Oval, the opposition was already 1-3 when Cooper was handed the ball. After a couple of dot balls

to begin with, Cooper then had the Northern Districts batters in the pavilion padding up with enormous haste as he took his four wickets. His Diggers teammates were already excited enough but the wicket spree continued. On the first ball of the next over, Parker Swan took a wicket to make it five dismissals in five deliveries. A team triple hat trick.

Vice President Julieann Willis said the mentors engender a culture of openness and positivity in encouraging the new generation of upcoming surfers.

Top rating for Scorpions By Brad GREENSHIELDS FOOTBALL Australia’s National Club Development Program has seen two North Coast Football clubs recognised. Sawtell was the first club in regional northern NSW to be awarded 5-stars under the program and it has recently been joined in having the highest rating possible by Nambucca Strikers. Sawtell president Simon Portus said there a number of criteria clubs are assessed against before given a three, four or best of all a five-star rating. “It has a lot to do with having the systems in place to ensure players enjoy the playing experience,” Portus

said. “It takes into account a number of factors ranging from the facilities at a club, the way the club is run from a board perspective and having policies in place that aren’t just to be followed by committee members and coaches but are able to be seen by anybody within the club. “It’s basically making the club as transparent as possible.” Portus said a positive of the framework provided by the NCPD’s guidelines is it gets actionable items into motion. Actions that ensure the club’s health. “You can’t just not do anything,” he said. “You’ve always got to be proactive and continue

personally and professionally with the mentors and other team members. “We are fostering a culture of inclusivity and positivity helping people to be their best.” The major award this year went to Opens A Winner seventeen year old James Hill. James has been with the club since being a junior and has surfed at every opportunity up and down the east coast. Major awards: 2020 Opens A winner 17 Yr old James Hill. James has been with the club since being a junior and gave a humble speech on the night. He thanked all his idols from the club who he has watched growing up and now had the opportunity to surf with. James was also the surfer photographed in the 2020 Pic of the Year winner taken by Oscar Watson of James surfing the Jetty wedge. Overall Points Score winner was Fletcher O’Sullivan.

developing not just the players in your teams but as a club. If you stop, then eventually natural attrition starts to happen, it (a club) falls apart.” The Scorpions had close to 500 players take to the field wearing the green and white in 2020. “We actually had an increase in our playing numbers this year despite COVID,” the president said. With an expansion to the change rooms at Toormina Oval due to be completed before the 2021 season kickoff, that number may just increase again next season.

Shouts of delight after Sawtell Cup win By Brad GREENSHIELDS IF this is how much noise the owners of Lose The Snip make when their gelding wins a Sawtell Cup, imagine the noise if they win a bigger race. Lose The Snip shot to the lead in last week’s Sawtell Cup and then the Snippetson five year-old never gave the chasers a chance to catch him. Trainer Joanne Hardy said the raucous owners may have a chance to get even louder after a spell. “He’ll probably go to the paddock shortly and then he’ll come back next preparation where we’ll probably set him for a Coffs Cup campaign,” Hardy said. “I’ve always thought he’d run a mile, he hasn’t done it

yet but I think he ran out that 1,500 metres very strongly so next time in I think we can try and push him out to 1,600 metres and have a crack at the Coffs Cup. Maybe Sawtell Cup into the Coffs Cup next year.” Lose The Snip won by three-quarters of a length from Chamisal with Magic Wu a further half a length back. The only horse from the second half of the field to make considerable ground up the straight was Sawtell which finished fourth. Winning rider Jon Griesdale was confident he was on the winner a long way from the post. “He got across pretty fast and pretty easily,” Griesdale said. “He wanted to go a bit

keen early but once he came back underneath me, I was able to dictate things and he found the line very strong.

New facilities at Forsyth Park opened By David WIGLEY

COFFS Harbour Mayor Denise Knight officially opened the new facilities at Forsyth Park the home of Coffs United Football Club and underlined how clubs and community are working together to make a big impact. “We are fast becoming the regional sporting capital of Australia and it all starts with grassroots community and clubs," said Cr Mayor Denise Knight. The new facilities at Forsyth Park on McLean Street include gender neutral home and away change rooms, new toilet amenities, disabled access to the oval and a renovated

canteen. “This is great for Coffs Harbour Sport and also women’s sport with women of all ages being able to feel more comfortable with the new change room having nice new toilets and private shower cubicles. The new canteen facilities and overall facelift to the facility bring it up to modern standards. It’s been a hell of a year and we need to mark these occasions to show how far we have come,” said Mayor Knight. Coffs City United FC President Jodi Wood gave a personal account of how this will impact the community for years to come. “The new facilities

Having played

for the club for almost 30 years now I know firsthand how important this is for the inclusion of girls and women in the sport and

I am incredibly proud to know that my daughter will now have a more inclusive experience than those that have come before her because of this.” Ms Wood expressed her gratitude to key stakeholders. “There are many people to thank for making it happen, the Committee of volunteers who have, over many years, dedicated hundreds of hours of their time to this club and this community. “To Stephen Douglas, Greg Singleton and builder Frank Malone who donated his work in kind. “We are extremely grateful to the NSW State Government for providing

Thank you all so much for your time. It is so appreciated.”

Kitching kids light up the track COFFS Coast athletes Hayley and Jade Kitching proved a speedy, sibling pair to be reckoned with this past weekend (3-6 December) at Sydney Olympic Park in the 2020 Athletics NSW All Schools Championships. Jade ran strategically and won the 14yr boys 800m in a blazing time of 2:03.35 to become the State Champion. Hayley raced her heart out to take away two silver medals, the first in the 16yr girls 800m in a personal best time of 2:09.39. She clinched her second silver in a nail-biting 16yr girls 1500m showdown, crossing the line only three-hundredths of a second behind her opponent and clocking another personal best of 4:30.67.

Axemen will be tough and fit

By Brad GREENSHIELDS ANY Group 2 teams who think they’ll have an easy time facing Orara Valley in 2021 should think again. The Axemen’s new first first grade co-coaches, Ryan Gill and Jared Roberts, have indicated the team from Coramba will be a formidable team. “We’re going to strip it back to being the toughest and the fittest,” Roberts said.

Gill said both of them will be player-coaches and that being able to play for the full 80 minutes is the goal. “That’s pretty much in the ballpark. I don’t think we’ve been fit enough in previous years so I think we’re definitely going to try and be the fittest and the toughest next year,” Gill said. The club has also announced John Thaiday will be the reserve grade coach next year while

Loretta Donovan will be in charge of the Ladies League Tag team. Gill said early numbers are encouraging. “We do have a first, reggies and League Tag team and there’s a few 18’s floating around here at the moment, I think we’re trying to get their mates involved as well so we can have an 18’s team as well.” With rugby league

returning after a COVIDenforced layoff in 2020, Roberts said there’s a lot of enthusiasm in the Valley about the Axemen getting back on the field. “There’s a lot of excitement around here for the first time in years,” he said. “I haven’t seen an Orara pre-season like this since the beginning of the last decade. “There’s very promising signs there.” He added there’ll definitely be a local flavour to the club when the season starts. “We’re focussing heavily on the locals,” he said. “Having locals play and locals watching.” By Brad GREENSHIELDS A LOT has changed since Brisbane Roar midfielder Jesse Daley last played at the C.ex Coffs International

Stadium. Back then Daley was just an aspiring junior representing Queensland in the under-14 FFA National Boys Championship. Now he’s a young man who’s returned to his hometown after spending three years playing in the United States with the Tacoma Defiance near Seattle. “I loved my three years there,” Daley said. “Actually I went over there with John Hutchison who played for the Mariners and it was a great experience, a really good learning curve. “We were in a full time environment and had to travel across the country in pretty tough conditions to play some games. “Being a professional player there’s a lot of different things you need to do to make sure you’re able to play every week and there are some big sacrifices you need to make to do that. “Playing over there gave me a taste of that.” Now the former Young Socceroo said returning

home to play is a great situation. “I’m loving it, it’s great to be back in my hometown,” he said. “My whole family is in Brisbane and my friends as well. “To come back and be able to play in front of family is pretty special.” So far the Roar haven’t met any A-League opponents in their preseason friendlies so Saturday night’s clash against Newcastle in Coffs Harbour will be a litmus test ahead of the Roar’s season opener on 29 December. “The pre-season has been good so far with a few new faces lining up with the squad,” the 22 year-old said. “We’re trying to understand each other and build partnerships and relationships between each other and obviously the real test is about to come with A-League opposition. “But there’s a lot of quality in the team, a lot of good players. We’re not putting any ceiling on what we can achieve this season, said Daley.

Top teams begin to emerge

q Harwood players celebrate a wicket after Hunter Jefferies was run out at the bowler’s end in the cruellest of circumstances. Photo: Green Shoots Marketing

BOTH Harwood and Sawtell have gained a jump on the rest of the North Coast Cricket Council Premier League after both recorded wins on Saturday. Harwood defended its total of 214 comfortably, taking a steady stream of Northern Districts wickets throughout the afternoon that left the home team always behind the eight ball. Ben McMahon was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 5-39 to move Harwood into second position on the table. At Richardson Park, Sawtell resumed at 4-48 against Valleys requiring a further 116 runs to win. When Tyh Murphy, Trent Dierick and Trent Mitchell all fell quickly to leave Sawtell 7-71, there were some nervous moments in the Sawtell sheds. Captain Richie Gallichan

By Brad GREENSHIELDS

(53 not out) and Charlie Howard (41 not out) steadied the ship though and their unbeaten 94-run stand earned Sawtell the victory to keep them at the top of the table. Gallichan is proving hard to remove for opposition bowling attacks. The captain has batted six times this season but only been out once. Sawtell’s only loss so far this season came on the one occasion Gallichan was dismissed. In the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association first grade competition Northern Districts has joined Diggers at the top of the table. Northern Districts easily beat bottom placed Valleys while Diggers fell to a second consecutive loss, this time to Coffs Colts. The Colts’ total of 4-197 was built on an unbeaten 66 by opener Troy Britnell and

a hard hitting 43 off only 20 balls by Shayde Perham. Sawtell made a

formidable total of 193 but Nana Glen chased it down thanks to Perry Gordon

(57 not out) and Hayden Cekanauskas (41) in the middle order.

Gordon’s effort has seen him become the leader in the first grade batting averages.

KARANGI tennis player Charlie Pade has been awarded a Tennis Australia Theo Kotsabakidis Scholarship. The 15 year-old has recorded a number of outstanding results over the past 18 months throughout Australia and Asia including representing Australia as part of the under-16 Indigenous team that played in the Rod Laver Cup Asia/ Oceania in Hong Kong. At this event Charlie was awarded the Male Sportsmanship Award.

Tennis Australia put together an elite selection panel and took into account a number of factors including whether Charlie has the potential to become a professional tennis player, his personal attributes and characteristics, technical skills and benchmarking Charlie’s ability, skill, attitude and character against international playing standards. Meeting all of the criteria meant Charlie was selected as a recipient. At the beginning of

the year Charlie made the decision to leave his home in Karangi to further his tennis and begin boarding school at St Joseph’s College Hunters Hill. Since being at Joey’s, Charlie has been under the watchful eye of head tennis coach David Moore who was a Tennis Australia touring coach who worked with the likes of John Millman, Max Purcell and Chris O’Connell. Charlie's week consists of two fitness sessions run by former Tennis NSW head fitness coach Matt Smith

and hitting sessions with Australia’s top juniors Rinky Hijikata and Kody Pearson. His hard work and dedication has been rewarded by him being selected as the number one player and captain in the College’s first team. The prestigious scholarship was awarded to applicants who are considered to have elite tennis potential. The funding covers tennis lessons, tennis equipment and tournament travel both in Australia and overseas.

Teeing up for a good cause By Brad GREENSHIELDS PLAYING 72 holes of golf in one day is a marathon effort but for Brandon Connor it’s no effort. Particularly when it’s for such a good cause. Connor, Billy Flanagan, Harry McMillan and a few more golfers will be taking on The Longest Day at the Coffs Harbour Golf Club, a challenge that sees golfers play four rounds to help raise funds for the Cancer Council. The question needs to be asked, why would a person try to do such a thing? Connor said the answer is simple. “I have a good friend who was diagnosed with

Friday, 11 December, 2020

cancer and it was pretty scary for her at the time,” Connor said. “Everybody is affected by cancer in some way and the more money we can raise, it gets us closer to a cancer free future.” The weather forecast for the weekend suggests the course will be very wet come Monday but Connor said that doesn’t matter. “I’ll be out there rain, hail or shine. “Playing 72 holes in a day is a long day, especially in the rain but compared to living with cancer it’s not that hard,” he said. “It’s a pretty easy tradeoff I reckon.” This is the second year Connor has organised the challenge and he said this

effort is already ahead of his maiden effort. “Last year we raised about $1,100, this year it’s already up to $1,700,” he said. But he’s chasing more. To donate, go to longestday.org.au and click on the Find A Friend button. Then insert Brandon Connor’s name and you will be taken to his page where you can donate. q Brandon Connor is raising funds for the Cancer Council when he tees off at Coffs Harbour on Monday.
