community conflicts and answer growing community concerns on the issue. During public access, councillors and staff heard several members of the public give passionate speeches on the topic. “Our valley has never seen such a rapid change in our landscapes, with hectares of blueberry farms being established as we speak,” said Benita Shuh to Council at Thursday night’s meeting. Ms Shuh also spoke about the Nambucca Valley’s 2010 Local Environment Plan (LEP), a planning tool Council uses in determining what requires developmental consent. She made the point that currently blueberry farms as a ‘horticulture operation’ are permitted without consent in zones RU1 - Land for primary production and RU2 - Rural landscapes. However, Ms Shuh believes this is in breach of the 2010 LEP which says ‘Intensive Agriculture’, such as blueberry farming, is ‘Permitted with Consent’. In answer to questions by councillors on this matter, Daniel Walsh, Council’s Manager of Development and Environment, explained that ‘Horticulture’, as referred to in the 2010 LEP, has been deliberately excluded from the restrictions imposed on ‘Intensive Agriculture’, the umbrella term for the category. ‘Horticulture’ is defined by the LEP as ‘the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, nuts, cut flowers and foliage and nursery products for commercial purposes, but does not include a plant nursery, turf farming or viticulture’. Frustration has been growing in the community over several large blueberry farms recently established in the area.
“This council does need to listen to community concerns and the community have a right to be concerned and to want something more than what they’ve got now,” Councillor Susan Jenvey told the meeting. Councillor Troy Vance said it was “tempting to tinker with the zoning”, however claimed this was “very difficult because of state regulations and state planning law”. A resolution was passed by council in five parts. 1. Actively seek to minimise land use conflict between different types of farming through use of buffer q
zones, planning changes, and better definitions of 'productive farmland' etc. 2. Receive a report on the proposal to submit a planning proposal to the Planning Minister which seeks to amend the Nambucca LEP 2010 to make intensive plant agriculture permissible with development consent in the RU1 and RU2 zones. 3. Write to the Minister for Water and the Environment requesting assurances that greater resources be allocated to State agencies responsible for monitoring legislative compliance within the Nambucca Valley horticulture
industry associated with water testing, water harvesting, clearing of native vegetation and pollution. 4. Seek legal advice to clarify if development application is required prior to the erection of netting and greenhouses associated with horticulture (blueberries) in rural zones; and if a development application is not required, seek legal advice as to which changes are needed to make it so, using the experience of the Coffs Harbour Council. 5. Receive a report on a Rural Land Use Strategy.

The Men’s Shed and Bunnings donate to fix-up Bowraville school’s garden area FROM Page 1 local students. Raised garden beds and eating areas at the school needed some attention but with funds short and ideas long, Amy Chapman, the School’s Assistant Principal, reached out to Coffs Harbour Bunnings for some help. Activities Organiser Kirsty from Bunnings in Coffs Harbour answered her call and coordinated with Luke from the Kempsey store to organise a working party and materials to assist the school. The Men’s Shed from Nambucca Heads also contributed by constructing two large wooden picnic tables which were soon delivered. “It’s an ongoing project but today we are working on the kitchen gardens,” Amy told News Of The Area last Wednesday, pointing to all manner of seasonal seedlings including cucumbers, lettuce and (every child’s favourite) beans. Future plans for the school include a paved eating area. “We’ve got a few green thumbs on staff, so I think everybody will be pitching in,” she said. “We can save money on accessories (for meals) like instead of buying spinach, we
can grow our own,” Stanley, a Year 6 student at the school told NOTA. “They make us sandwiches, snacks and sometimes special lunches,” said Stanley. You can guess what lunch was to be when the Bunnings’ crew visited to lend a hand – “Sausages, of course,” laughed Kirsty. The before and after pictures speak for themselves and NOTA is sure the students and teachers will receive hours of enjoyment and learning from the new garden beds.

what lies ahead for CALL. The attendees represented a wide spectrum of the agrifood industry, including growers, producers, greengrocers and food and beverage manufacturers, along with government and research representatives. This diversity fostered the exchange of expertise and gave rise to some fruitful discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing the sector and the region.
Luke McQuillan, Engagement Manager at the Future Food Systems Cooperative Research Centre told News Of The Area, “Launch attendees have provided feedback on how great it was to network with fellow industry stakeholders, to reignite existing relationships and to connect with new people/business representatives. “The enthusiasm at the event was fantastic, with excitement in the area as to
what the CALL project can bring to the region.” In addition to learning about the project’s objectives and benefits from Nicole McLennan, Team Leader Industry Development, City of Coffs Harbour and Dr James Krahe from Future Food Systems, attendees were treated to a compelling keynote speech by Krista Watkins.

Veteran sawmill owner makes impassioned plea to Council q Matt Dyer and some of his Bowraville Sawmill crew. He employs fifteen locals in his workshop and office.
THE long-time owner and operator of the Bowraville Sawmill, Matt Dyer, made an impassioned plea to Nambucca Valley Council at its 16 November meeting in response to recent actions by councillors across the Mid North Coast who signed a letter seeking an immediate stop to native forest logging in the region. The letter was signed by local councillors Susan Jenvey, Ricky Buchanan and David Jones, alongside select councillors from City of Coffs Harbour, Bellingen Shire Council, Nambucca Valley Council, Kempsey Shire Council, Port Macquarie Hastings Council, Clarence Valley Council and MidCoast Council. The councillors called for an urgent meeting with senior NSW Government ministers to discuss the impacts of native forest logging on biodiversity, water quality and bush fire safety in their LGAs. The councillors’ statement was sent to prominent NSW Government figures including Premier Chris Minns as part of a growing movement to ban native forest logging across Australia. “Bowraville will be driven into more economic hardship by the actions of a few misinformed members of the public,” Mr Dyer told the recent Nambucca Valley Council meeting. According to Mr Dyer the four sawmills in the area contribute to the local community through jobs and provision for the young families of those employed, donations and support for

flammable. “We need to change how we fight and manage fire risks and foresters need to be part of the debate. “There is a need for selective thinning down of the regrowth forests. “The thing we need to do is manage our resources sustainably,” Professor Bowman said. Mr Dyer expressed his frustration that while the timber industry was deemed to be an essential industry during the COVID era, and was prioritised in the absence of tourists as important to keep going, it appears to be first in line for cancellation. He was shocked, he said, at the audacity of local councillors who would attempt to shut down viable

local youth, in particular investing in sporting programmes. Furthermore, he said, the trucks servicing those sawmills carry produce as freight to the local areas and these costs would be increased should logging in the region be stopped or reduced. “We have some of the most stringent protocols for harvesting native timber in the world,” Mr Dyer reminded the Councillors. He went on to address what he sees as misinformation circulating regarding the local logging industry and bushfires and in particular the bushfires of 2019. Mr Dyer reminded his audience that the fires had begun in National Park territory and had burnt for three weeks before “decimating the local area”. “Instead of blaming the logging industry, I suggest National Parks change their policy to adhere to what must be done,” he said, calling for more hazard reduction in these zones. One of the arguments made by those advocating for a stop to native forest logging, is that plantation timber and logged forests burn more severely than mature forests. According to David Bowman, a Professor of Pyrogeography and Fire Science from the University of Tasmania, shutting down the timber industry is not the answer. “Our climate is changing and fires are behaving in different ways to how they have in the past,” he told News Of The Area. “What the environmentalists don’t get is that regrowth is very

New Aboriginal Place proposed for Nambucca Heads By Ned COWIE
NAMBUCCA Valley Council has resolved to support a proposal put forward by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment – Heritage NSW to declare the Bellwood Sacred Site in Nambucca Heads an Aboriginal place under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. The proposal is in addition to an existing Federal declaration that is in place over the sacred site and the Faringdon Fields. “This is an additional layer of protection over the land,” said Nambucca Valley Mayor Rhonda Hoban in describing the purpose of the proposal. “But the actual issue with the sacred sites and the culturally significant areas still hasn't been resolved,” she added. In supporting this proposal Mayor Hoban said she was concerned that an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit (AHIP) would be required each time Council sought entry to the culturally significant area. This land contains several sewerage pump stations, road pavements, public roads, stormwater drainage and vegetation and other amenities which the council manages and maintains. Furthermore, council recently made agreements with
Gumbaynggirr elders in relation to the Faringdon Fields which included
undertaking routine maintenance and the planting of trees. Residents of the future lots within the Bellbird Estate will also be required to mow a 31 metre-
wide asset protection zone within the Fields as per these agreements. Council resolved to make a submission to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment –
media@newsofthearea.com.au Heritage NSW in support of this proposal under the condition there be no Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit requirements for required maintenance on Council controlled land or infrastructure, or on any activities on the Faringdon Fields which conforms to an agreement with the Gumbaynggirr Elders.

Kempsey Shire Council applies for Special Rate Variation By Jen HETHERINGTON KEMPSEY Shire Council (KSC) will submit an application to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) to increase property rates by a cumulative 42.7 percent over three years to ‘address financial sustainability and a forecast $79 million deficit over the next ten years’. The deficit, according to KSC, is largely due to the cost of maintaining essential community infrastructure. A KSC Community Forum, held on Monday 20 November 2023, preceded the Ordinary Meeting on Tuesday, with the predominant discussions centred on the proposed application for a Special Rate Variation (SRV). As a sizable crowd was expected, the meeting was relocated to Kempsey Cinemas and was livestreamed via the KSC YouTube channel, with Mayor Leo Hauville welcoming all to the event. Strong public interest in Council's decision whether to apply for a rate increase prompted twelve speakers, representing a variety of community organisations, to address KSC councillors and managers. Needless to say, most in the gallery were against the proposal, which was borne out by the results of community-led petitions.
One speaker, Genevieve Lovell, offered a series of informative slides compiled by members of the Stuarts Point and District Community Organisation (SPaDCO), noting ten scenarios relating to local residents’ capacity to meet the burden of rate increases. “It’s time to think differently, time to turn local council governance on its head and disrupt and innovate,” Genevieve said. During Tuesday’s meeting, Councillors debated the pros and cons of the outcomes, noting that not applying to IPART may result in the appointment of an Administrator, thus replacing local councillors
with an entity unfamiliar with local issues. Councillor Author Bain queried all in attendance, “How do we balance the financial and community impacts for the future.” Mayor Hauville asked the crowd to ponder the alternatives to a rate rise. “What will the community be prepared to sacrifice? – Monthly garbage services? Loss of valuable staff? Reduced library hours? Sale of the airport? Reduction of roadworks and maintenance? Closure of Gladstone pool? “Financial and asset data as well as the significant feedback in community surveys and submissions were considered before Councillors voted to proceed
with an application.” Eventually votes were tabled with all but one in favour of lodging the application, but most Councillors were reluctant in delivering an affirmative decision and called for increased support from State and Federal Government. Stephen Mitchell, Kempsey Shire Council’s Director of Corporate and Commercial said, “If IPART does approve the application, then Councillors will decide in June 2024 by how much to increase the rates. "In the meantime, Council staff will continue to search for viable cost savings and productivity improvements that could potentially reduce the rate increase, should it be implemented. "Additionally, efforts will be

This means that if Council’s application to IPART is successful, the most Council would seek above the rate peg is 3.2 percent for next financial year. The application to IPART will be submitted no later than 5 February 2024 and will be followed by an additional period of community engagement. q The Council meeting was relocated to Kempsey Cinemas, with locals keen to hear first hand from council staff on the issue of the SRV.

NAMBUCCA Valley Council tabled its 2022/23 Annual Report at last Thursday’s general meeting, reporting on the Council's financial position and performance, capital works investment, elected members’ expenses, major contracts awarded, donations and contributions and significant achievements for this period. As in the last two years’ reports, this report reflected the high levels of grant spending undertaken in the Valley due to allocation of disaster recovery monies for fires and floods. There were several changes within the staffing of the finance department, including several changes in the position of chief financial officer that put pressure on Council’s finance team to deliver the reports by October 31, the statutory deadline, according to Richard Watkinson of Thomas Noble and Russell, the Council’s external auditor. “The Council congratulate and thank the finance team for completing finance statements within statutory timeframes, achieving an unqualified audit result under difficult circumstances,” said Nambucca Valley Mayor Rhonda Hoban.
Council’s consolidated net operating result for the year was a surplus of $16,802,000 compared to a surplus of $18,341,000 in the previous year. Total equity was up by approximately 60,000,000 to $616,363,000 this year. Total equity increased to $616,363,000 from the previous year total of $555,776,000. One of the largest contracts awarded was to Telstra for the construction of a Telstra Macro Tower at South Arm at a cost of $858,375 funded by the NSW Government’s Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund (BLERF). There are six performance benchmarks set by the Office of Local Government for councils to achieve in their overall financial results and Nambucca Valley Council met five of these six, Mr Watkinson
told Council on Thursday night. Council did not and has not met the ‘Own Source Operating Revenue’ benchmark of 60 percent of Council revenue generated from own sources (excluding grant funding) for the past three years. “It is a particularly challenging benchmark for regional councils to achieve,” Mr Watkinson said. It is made even more difficult to achieve when councils have received extra funding for natural disasters as has been the case in the Nambucca Valley. Significant achievements in the 2022/23 year were the Nambucca Heads Library refurbishment which opened to the public in 2023 and the almost completed construction of seawall at Nambucca Heads adjacent to
the Surf Club. “Town Planning has experienced a slowdown in development applications lodged, reflecting the broader slowdown in the economy,” said Acting General Manager for the Council, Bede Spangle, in his introduction to the Council’s Annual Report. “Looking to the future, we have a number of programmes that will require significant investment, long lead times and support from other levels of Government,” he said. He thanked residents for their patience and resilience during the disaster recovery phase. The full report has now been released to the public and can be viewed on Council’s website at www.nambucca. n s w. g o v. a u / C o u n c i l / Compliance-Forms-PoliciesReporting/Annual-Report.
Greater support for drought-impacted primary producers THE State Government has announced the creation of a $250 million Drought Ready and Resilient Fund (DRRF). This Fund will allow eligible primary producers to apply for low interest loans of up to $250,000 to fund a broad range of operational products, activities and services to prepare and respond to the impacts of drought. According to research by the NSW Rural Assistance Authority, these loans, which can be paid off over five or ten years, are estimated to save farmers on average $40,000 over a five year loan, when compared to other similar loans. The DRRF will allow farmers to access loans for other core activities like the purchasing of fodder and transport of livestock to protect their welfare, not just capital investments. The DRRF can be used for essential items such as purchasing fodder, feeding equipment,
stock transportation costs, veterinary and professional nutrition and welfare advice, fencing for rotational grazing, exclusion and cluster fencing, construction of containment feeding pens, stock shade structures, planting of trees and stock and domestic water (Including its transportation). “We know that NSW does not thrive unless our regions and agricultural industries thrive,” Premier Chris Minns said. “This is a significant investment which demonstrates our commitment to the resilience of farmers across our state, particularly as they enter drier and warmer weather conditions. “We know disaster preparedness is more important than ever before. “This is a commonsense initiative that allows farmers to get ahead of the dry season and protect their livelihoods.” The state’s peak body for farmers has applauded

the Minns Government’s announcement. NSW Farmers President Xavier Martin said the clarity the government has provided early in the drying cycle will help farmers with making their business decisions. “These loans, announced before drought hits hard, help farmers to make proactive decisions. “Farmers are always subject to climate variability, and having faced significant drought and disaster impacts in recent years, know that having a plan and some certainty as to how best to prepare for adverse conditions is critical,” Mr Martin said.

Drought advice at the farm gate AS DRY conditions continue, the State Government is providing new frontline drought support for landholders with the creation of drought adoption officer roles to boost services offerings for farmers, including in the North Coast Local Land Services region. Drought adoption officers can help farmers by offering advice about drought resilience and preparedness. The officers will also deliver workshops on drought preparedness including confinement feeding, decision making tools and farm planning. The recently recruited
drought adoption officers work closely with other Local Land Services staff such as livestock officers and district veterinarians to deliver frontline services for drought affected farmers and producers. “During this new drought period we are introducing new services for farmers and producers in areas of financial assistance, more staff in the field offering advice and information, plus promoting the significant suite of tools available to enable better decision making,” Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty said. “These new drought adoption officers are in the
field speaking to farmers to highlight the various support services and options available at local, on-farm, and community levels. “This includes offering drought resilience and preparedness advice as well as guidance on how to use important decision-making and farm-planning tools.” Ms Moriatry said the Government was “monitoring the drought indicator closely” to ensure that farmers receive the support they need. “Another important part of planning includes understanding the amount of water you have available and how you will manage this to benefit on-farm outcomes,
THE surging demand for fodder for drought-stricken livestock has come as no surprise to agricultural charity Rural Aid. The Bureau of Meteorology has declared the three months from August to October as the driest on record since records began in 1900. This coincides with a rapid increase in calls from farmers for assistance – especially hay for livestock, emergency drinking water and mental health and wellbeing support. Rural Aid chief executive
officer John Warlters said farmers had registered requests totalling more than $1 million for fodder, the majority of which had been received from families in NSW drought hot spots including the Northern Rivers, New England and the Hunter Valley. More than 50 percent of NSW is now impacted by drought, an almost doubling of the area affected since September. Rural Aid CEO John Warlters said that it’s a
challenging outlook for farmers. “Right now, what we’re seeing is below average rainfall, above average temperatures and so much of the countryside is tinder dry. “It’s very, very early to see this level of fire activity and it gives us great concern about what this summer is going to look like.” Mr Warlters said Rural Aid has been monitoring the impending weather conditions closely, as the reality of the current season

starts to emerge. Requests for Rural Aid’s assistance have increased markedly over the past three months. Mr Warlters said many farmers have no feed for their livestock and are extremely anxious about the months ahead. “We’re really concerned at Rural Aid that we are almost at a bit of a tipping point right
now. “Collectively, it means we’re all on edge, and we know that really puts so much more stress and worry on our farmers at this time. “The number of calls to our counsellors has effectively doubled from this time last year.” Mr Warlters said Rural Aid is working hard to support farmers, but it can’t
do it alone. “As we come into Christmas, it’s a time that we can all contribute to an organisation like Rural Aid so that we can help farming families and get them through these challenging times,” Mr Warlters said.

Crowdfunding for forests takes off By Andrew VIVIAN A GRASSROOTS crowdfunding initiative to protect native forests has taken off, reaching $10,000 in four weeks. Started by Jonathan Cassell, a City of Coffs Harbour Councillor, the fund has received immediate widespread community support. The crowdfunding enterprise, known as the ‘Future Forest Fund’, began with the funding of the recent Festival for Forests held in Nambucca Heads on 4 November. Mr Cassell said he believes the crowdfunding campaign has offered an opportunity to be involved
for many people who wish to see native forests protected, but didn’t know where to start. “I started this Future Forest Fund after someone at the Bob Brown Foundation rally in August asked if there was a future fund they could make a donation,” Mr Cassell said. “This prompted me to set up the Future Forest Fund with an initial goal of $25,000. “I have been blown away with the support so far and am very grateful to all who have contributed.” Mr Cassell set up the fund under the banner of PAN Media, and he wants it to share positive messages about forests and support people who care deeply about them and their future by offering them a way to financially contribute.
“The recent Festival for Forests in Nambucca was a huge success because local businesses and individuals got behind this Fund and helped pay-it-forward so the event could be fully funded,” he said. Kombu Wholefoods in Bellingen are one local business who have supported the fund. "We are lucky enough to live in a stunning part of the world, where beautiful forest drops from our mountains into our valleys, and then on towards the ocean,” Kombu Wholefoods owner Lowanna Doye said. “We believe we need to do all we can to protect this unique region for future generations.” Kevin Doye, who co-owns the shop, highlighted the benefits he sees from the development of a Great Koala

National Park. “The Great Koala National Park will offer significant employment and other social and environmental benefits to our community, so it gives us great pleasure to be able to support this fantastic
campaign.” Mr Cassell's future plans include a marketing campaign targeting billboards and social media advertisements and a professionally produced short film documentary
Career transition for first responders By Andrea FERRARI THE Beyond the Badge retraining and support program is running a threeday Career Transition course in Coffs Harbour in early 2024 and is asking for expressions of interest in attending. It is open to current or former military, police, ambulance, fire and rescue and other first responder personnel. Finding a new career can be a struggle for police, fire fighters, paramedics and veterans that have been forced to leave their jobs due to illness, injury or trauma. The course is specifically curated to deliver the skills and knowledge required to increase attendees’ level of employability. Beyond the Badge is also seeking the involvement of business leaders who are keen to hire local veterans and first responders.
q Founders of Beyond the Badge, Simon Bradstock and Sean Haran. “Thanks to an injection of local funds from C.ex Group and Park Beach Bowling Club, the Beyond the Badge retraining and support program will give current and former first responders, as well as veterans, living in and around the Coffs Harbour area an opportunity to get
their lives back on track,” said Beyond the Badge spokesperson and former West Australian Police officer Sean Haran. The charity delivers career transition workshops and support for members of the first responder and veteran community that
have sustained physical injuries or mental health related illnesses resulting in them having to end their career and look for alternate employment. The program has received a $17,500 boost as part of the C.ex Group 2023 grants program.
Distinguished Service Award for Red Cross’ Mary Ball
A further $5,000 has also been provided by the Park Beach Bowling Club. “One of the biggest challenges first responders face is the unexpected end to their chosen career,” he said. “This may come about through both physical and mental injury or simply the need to move on due to the continued exposure to disturbing and traumatic events. “We believe very strongly that every first responder and veteran has unique skills and qualities that most employers simply struggle to find in the general community,” Sean said. “An increase in their self-esteem, mental health and general wellbeing has shown to positively impact the participant’s immediate family and the community.” Sean says the demand for the program has increased exponentially due to recent events such as floods, fires and COVID-19, with many first responders stressed and exhausted. “Our approach to
linking healthy forests to a healthy society. More information about the Future Forest Fund can be found at chuffed.org/ project/vxvj-future-forestfund. responding to this increased demand for service includes the enablement of an online learning platform to allow increase in reach and accessibility to geographically dispersed users,” he said. The program focuses on mapping the participant’s career-based skills and competencies, such as leadership, decision making, risk management, mentoring and coaching and project management, which can be showcased to a potential employer. “Over the past four years the range of jobs and careers that have been obtained is so diverse, but certainly compliance, and customer facing roles are a natural progression for many,” Sean added. “It is very much a job seekers market at the moment and unless a specific degree qualification is required, we would say that the sky's the limit for opportunities.” Interested participants and businesses are urged to connect and to find out more via www.beyondthebadge. com.au or send an email to info@beyondthebadge.com. au.

MARY Ball from the Nambucca Valley Red Cross Emergency Services Team has recently been awarded the prestigious Distinguished Services Medal by the Red Cross. Mary, who received the award in recognition of her role as Team Leader, was one of only four recipients afforded this honour. “Upon taking on this role, she attended many hours of training to reach the level of
proficiency required,” said Adele McCollom, Nambucca Valley Red Cross Emergency Services. “She is now a qualified trainer for Red Cross and has been responsible for building a team of highly trained volunteers who are recognised as a valued and respected unit. “She is passionate about preparedness and has been instrumental in implementing with team members a number

of events to prepare community members for any emergency.” During the 2019/20 fires and the March 2022 floods, Mary coordinated rosters for her team at both Evacuation and Recovery Centres in the Mid North Coast region, a task requiring a high level of organisational skills over a period of several months. Lesley Smith, a well-known member of Red Cross, presented Mary with her medal and citation at a recent team meeting. All team members were delighted that Mary’s time and commitment to her role as Team Leader during that period has been recognised and acknowledged.

International collaboration brings unique exhibition to Bellingen Shire q Bellingen, Dorrigo, and Urunga Libraries will be the home to a unique exhibition brought to us by Istar Backlund Dakhil from Sweden.
‘IN A TIMELESS STORY’ is a picture book, presented both in physical form and as an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience, where the reader is invited to step into the world of the book and experience the story all around them. The narrative unfolds through the knowledge and life experiences told by Laila Spik, who comes from a reindeer herding family in Sirkas’ Sami village in Jokkmokk, Sápmi, and Gumbaynggirr elder Uncle Micklo Jarrett. In a Timeless Story explores the intricate connection between humanity and nature, delving into the transmission of wisdom across generations to safeguard the vibrancy of traditions and cultures. The project has been led by Ishtar Bäcklund Dakhil, who illustrated and wrote the text together with Marie Metso. The immersive VR experience has been crafted by Vincent Wong, and complemented by an evocative musical score composed by Philip Olofsson. Bellingen Shire Council’s Shire Librarian, Rowena Sierant, was approached by Ishtar after Micklo Jarrett recommended the shire’s
libraries for the exhibition. Reflecting on the unique proposal, Rowena expressed her excitement in supporting Ishtar's mission for an international arts grant to bring this extraordinary story to Australia. The exhibition's grand opening is at Bellingen Library on Monday, 27 November at 5 pm, with Uncle Micklo present to launch the event. "I contacted Uncle Micklo and we are thrilled to have

Unmissable afternoon concert at Eungai Creek By Mick BIRTLES TWO of the Nambucca Valley’s most respected musicians, Julie Kovendy and Dee Bee Bishop, will reunite on Sunday 3 December at the Eungai Creek Soldiers Memorial Hall and deliver an unmissable afternoon concert, all in the name of community. Julie and Dee Bee, who have had solid solo careers as musicians, are no strangers to collaborating together. However, due to the pandemic, it had been a while since they appeared on stage together. “Eight weeks ago Julie and I performed some songs at a house concert where we, and the audience, had so much fun that the next week we got together for a jam session,” Dee Bee Bishop told News Of The Area. “From there we hatched an idea to put together a long set of classic, iconic songs we all love from Bob Dylan, Cold Chisel, David Bowie,
Amy Winehouse, Paul Kelly, Dusty Springfield and more and decided to put them together in a concert that is all about having fun and singing along to some good old favourites.” Both artists have recorded their own albums, with Julie Kovendy releasing the beautiful ‘Into The Light’ and Dee Bee Bishop recording and touring the powerful yet entertaining ‘Thirst’. Until recently Julie Kovendy could be seen performing with jazz trio ‘Splash’, and Dee Bee has been touring the east coast with a show and EP he wrote called ‘Punk Folk’, which featured stories and songs about growing up in the 1970s and working as a touring musician. Dee Bee has also been back in the studio and in January 2024 will release a new album, ‘Dog-eared and Torn’, which features Ethan Frankel on guitars and Stewart Peters on various instruments and harmony vocals. Although Julie and Dee Bee are dedicated musos who take their craft seriously, they stress that this concert is about the audience coming together as a community, and having fun joining in with them
on some of the most-loved songs ever written. The concert is on at the Eungai Creek Soldiers Memorial Hall, Cnr Eungai Creek Road and Hall Road,
Eungai Creek on Sunday 3 December with doors opening at 3pm. There is a cover charge of $10 at the door and kids under fifteen are free with digital payment available

and Stuart Point Primary schools performed to the delight of their large audience with a grand finale showcasing a combined schools’ choir performance of ‘I am Australian’.
The concert is a NSW government funded event and tickets were sold at $10 an adult, available at the door. Showtime has been a fixture of the Nambucca Valley for seven years but during the COVID period it was
not possible to keep it running. 2023 is the first year it has been the full-scale event it was in the past and the audience and performers couldn’t wait to get back into it.

Macksville High hosts Showtime concert By Ned COWIE
ON Thursday evening, Macksville High School hosted ‘Showtime’, an event featuring 650 student performers and crew from Nambucca Valley’s ten public schools. Over 1000 people made up the audience in Macksville High School’s stadium. The concert featured only students, no adults, in a line-up that included performances from kindergarten-age children right through to Year 12 students. The show’s musical director, Matthew Gilbert, music teacher and Deputy Head of Nambucca High School, had just one day including one dress-rehearsal to pull together a spectacular concert which, by the account of many present, was “amazing!”. “The focus was the children,” Anthony Buckley of Nambucca Primary School told News Of The Area. “No adults were to be on stage – it was all about the children.” All of the music was live, and all the musicians were students. Of special note was the Nambucca Heads High School Band, whose lead singer was thirteenyears-old, with the band's average age just fifteen. “They did a fantastic job all

DEAR Jasminda, Our daughter, who has been event planning since she was four, is now turning 21. She is planning a huge party that combines her extravagant vision and our flatlining credit card. How can I rein it in?
What is a testamentary trust? JOHN and Mary have two adult children and several grandchildren. They have joint assets of $1.5 million. Their children have almost paidoff their home mortgages and are both gainfully employed. When they talk to their solicitor about their estate planning, their solicitor recommends that they consider making wills that establish testamentary trusts (TT Wills). The effect of these types of wills is that upon John and Mary’s passing, their children have the option to use a testamentary trust as a vehicle for their inheritance. John and Mary own most of their assets jointly and they wish for the whole of their assets to simply pass to each other when the first of them passesaway, without using any trusts. They appoint each other as their executors to achieve this. Both children are appointed as joint executors upon both of their parent’s passing. The TT Wills create a separate trust for each child. Each child can appoint themselves as the trustee of their respective trust and control the trust as they see fit. The beneficiaries of the trust include the child, their spouse and their children. The trustee can make distributions from the trust to any of the potential beneficiaries at their discretion. Minor beneficiaries who receive distributions from testamentary trusts receive the full adult tax-free threshold which creates substantial tax savings that can be made by using testamentary trusts, which should be managed under the advice of an accountant and financial advisor. Each child can elect to transfer only a part of their inheritance into their trust and can elect not to use the trust structure at all. TT Wills can also provide benefits in terms of asset protection. If a child’s inheritance is held in a trust and their relationship with their spouse breaksdown, the funds may not be considered to form part of their assets in family law proceedings, although the funds can be taken into consideration as a financial resource.

Hugo L
Minns must not propagandise the proposed Great Koala National Park
DEAR News Of The Area,
THE NSW Premier’s flying visit to Coffs Harbour last Friday week with two Ministers in tow the day before Bob Brown’s visit to the region to promote an anti-logging and Great Koala National Park campaign had all the elements of a propaganda junket. One of the Ministers by Minns side for the visit was Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarity, who had recently quietly authorised clear felling of a koala hub nearby to where they chose to make their “non-announcement” of the visit . Despite the cascading evidence of the inadequacy of native forest harvesting prescriptions for threatened species like the koala, the southern greater glider
and the Rufous Scrub-bird, the “non announcement” on the day saved not one hectare more of habitat. Instead it trumpeted the establishment of three Advisory Panels, including forty six community, industry, tourism, union and Aboriginal representatives, to advise the Government on establishing the Great Koala National Park. Those voluntary participants will, for twelve months or more, be restricted in their public commenting on the Great Koala National Park proposal. The ”non-announcement” was also accompanied by a request from at least one Minister to stakeholders to keep their comments on the Great National Park out of the media. The proposed Great Koala National Park is one of the few environmental promises in the NSW Government’s

Give her an amount that bag as it tries to respond to the multiple requirements of the climate and biodiversity crises. To so blatantly push to win the day by seeking to steal the weekend’s media limelight from the Bob Brown festival and, at the same time, closing down the public debate on native forest logging and the proposed Great Koala National Park was so futile.

Bryan Brown joins Bello Readers and Writers Festival
By Andrea FERRARI
AN ICON of Australian entertainment, Nambucca Valley farm owner and author Bryan Brown has been named as Patron of the Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival (BRWF) for 2024. The highly reputed Festival returns to Bellingen Showground on the King’s Birthday Long Weekend (June 7-9, 2024). As Festival Patron, Bryan will participate live in various events to be announced. It was in 2022 that Bryan
last appeared at the BRWF to discuss his debut book, a crime novel entitled ‘Sweet Jimmy’. His latest penning, ‘The Drowning’, was published in October 2023. Another crime novel, The Drowning is set in a small coastal town that might seem quite familiar to residents on the Mid North Coast. The story includes First Nations viewpoints and characters, and Brown acknowledges individuals from the Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and Culture Co-operative in
Nambucca Heads and the Aboriginal Legal Service NSW in assisting him. A Better Reading review of The Drowning said the novel had “all the hallmarks of great Aussie crime writing”. “Brown's punchy prose makes this novel absolutely devourable, and all will be revealed in due time. “The Drowning is highly recommended holiday reading,” the review read. Looking ahead to its crowd-pulling festival, the BRWF Committee is already at work shaping the 2024 program.
“It’s an interesting journey for a bloke who only read his first book at age 25, arriving as a Patron of the Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival a number of years later… many years later,” Bryan Brown said. “I’m pleased I came at reading without being badgered like at school. “The places and ideas that writers take us to widen our humanness. “How lucky are we?” For more information visit www. bellingenwritersfestival.com. au.

Grumpy’s Grumble: Pelican Pots Of Gold a huge success
By GRUMPY
TEAMS travelled from west, north and south, Inverell, Lighting Ridge, Wollongong and Queensland to the Nambucca Bowls Club for the Pelican Pots Of Gold competition. Three days of two bowl triples, oyster tasting and wine tasting. The driving comp was
won by Joel Burke from Kempsey Heights and drawing comp by the only lady in it, our very own Elaine Fleming. We raised nearly $200 for Dementia Australia. A presentation dinner with sponsors was held on Thursday and it capped off a great carnival. Winners were the Kempsey RSL side of Richard
Lee, John Williams and Neil McCudden. Many good remarks were made by players about the food and staff - well done to all. A big thankyou to Agent Ogilvy, The Machine Curran and Umpires Poppy Boyle and Andrew Power for their work in making sure the carnival was a success. So keep your eyes and ears open as next year's Pelican Pot of Gold is sure to fill fast. Last Saturday and Sunday
the Major Singles continued with some favourites falling by the wayside. Psycho Carr met his match against the Machine Curran going down 25-20. Finalists for the last two years met in the third round this year and Darcy had the wood on the Good Brother Hunt 25-13. After 31 ends Grumpy beat Joe Frank 25 -20. Red Dog and the Rock had a battle and even the Rock was seen to chase a bowl down the rink, giving other
players a scare as it was not expected, Red Dog winning 25-18. Angry beat Major Mino 25-17, and Owen Smith Beat Cosi 25 -12. On Sunday only two games of the Quarter Finals were played. Red Dog finished the Grump 25-16 and The Machine beat his good mate Canadian Club Blackford. After being down 17-6 on the 11th end, 20-12 on the 17th, 24-18, The Machine fought back to win 25-24 -
great game boys. Semis are on tomorrow, starting at 1.00pm. The Final is on Sunday. Also on Sunday last we had our Mega Raffle with $4,000 worth of prizes - the place was packed. The next one is on 17 December, with $4,000 in prizes (hams, meat trays and white goods), plus photos with Santa.

MUSHROOM 50 LIVE
SEVEN, 7pm
Tune in for this spectacular musical extravaganza guaranteed to enliven your Sunday evening, filmed live from Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena. More than 20 artists perform 50 classic songs from the stellar Mushroom catalogue to mark 50 years. Featuring Jimmy Barnes, Paul Kelly, Hunters & Collectors, Birds of Tokyo, Dan Sultan, Amy Shark and the Teskey Brothers, it’s a spine-tingling trip across the decades through song.
The magnetic Lucy Lawless and the bright and stylish surrounds of Auckland render this a marvellously upbeat, colourful murder mystery series. Add in witty protagonist and crime-solver Alexa Crowe’s (Lawless) side hustle as a bread baker, and you have the recipe for a truly cosy and warm crime caper. Featuring a new face in IT whiz Beth (Tatum Warren-Ngata) and the rustic attraction of Martin Henderson (Virgin River) as Alexa’s brother Will, season three’s quirky cases of bloodshed are all kinds of amiable. Tonight, in “The Village”, a lively retirement village is rocked by a death, but it’s Will’s worrying involvement with the victims that hits close to home for Alexa.
SECRET WORLD OF SNACKS
SBS, 7.35pm
Do you eat sweet little jelly babies by the head, or do you prefer biting off the feet first? There’s a lot to ponder in this spirited British doco that’s awash with colourful lollies. Narrated with vibrant aplomb by comedian and The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice presenter Jo Brand, it’s a comprehensive and affectionate foray into the rich world of confectionary across the pond, as well as a fascinating story of rivalry and competition. When German lolly giant Haribo took on the British market, it almost sank sugar stalwarts such as Rowntree’s. Filled with sweet (and sour) insights, Brand digs up some colourful tales. You’ll be reaching for the lolly jar in no time. 2411

MACKSVILLE Country Club has completed extensive works to repair and improve three golf greens, two teeoffs and change the layout of one fairway which in the past had constantly flooded. At an opening ceremony attended by Nambucca
Valley Mayor Rhonda Hoban and State Member for Oxley Michael Kemp, the new course was declared open from Friday 17 November, 2023. “In the past, whenever it rained, we had weeks or even months of certain holes being unplayable,” Brad Fortescue, Macksville
Country Club Chairman, told News Of The Area. “Now we should be able to play again even soon after flooding events,” he said. Macksville Country Club was successful in applying for funding through the NSW Government’s Essential Community Sports Assets Program and received
$273,000 to lift flood affected tees and greens. “We are a small club and couldn’t have afforded to make these changes without the grant,” said Mr Fortescue. The Club’s Vice Chairman, Matthew Baker, told NOTA it was “a muchimproved course” after the
works. “Greens have been completely reshaped and enlarged. The entire course has been brought up to a more modern co standard,” he said. Consistent with the wet weather theme of the grants which enabled this

work, it was a rainy, windy opening ceremony on Friday morning with the Mayor and other VIPs touring the newly improved lower half on the course in golf carts. In a speech at the opening of the new greens, State MP Michael Kemp emphasised the health and social benefits of facilities such as Macksville Country Club’s golf course, especially when communities suffer setbacks such as severe weather events like the floods of 2022. According to Nambucca Valley Mayor Rhonda Hoban, “Getting the course back up and running will keep the tourists coming as well, minimising disruptions to our local businesses when extreme weather events occur.” Earthworks were carried out by local company, Fortade, and regrassing was completed with the assistance of the ShoreTrack organisation, a charity based in Macksville supporting young people by providing hands-on training in trades. “We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to all the volunteers, those from ShoreTrack as well as Club members who contributed to completing all this,” said Mr Fortescue. “Their efforts were truly impressive.”
