Last year’s Australia Day celebrations in Raymond Terrace.
A PACKED program of free, family-friendly events will be on offer across Port Stephens to celebrate Australia Day on Sunday 26 January 2020, with funds to be raised at the events to help with the bushfire emergency. Events will be held at Raymond Terrace, Nelson Bay, Lemon Tree Passage and Karuah, with everything from markets and live music to flypasts and speed boats. Port Stephens Council is partnering with the Rotary Club of Raymond Terrace to host a family fun day at Riverside Park. Festivities will start at 8am with a free barbecue breakfast supported again this year by Raymond Terrace Bowling Club and cooked by the Rotary and Lions Clubs of Raymond Terrace. Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer will preside over the official ceremony on The Mutual Stage at 9am with the presentation of the prestigious Port Stephens Annual Awards. Australia Day Ambassador Ron Delezio — Father of Sophie Delezio and Co-founder of Day of Difference — will deliver the Australia Day Address in Raymond Terrace and later at Nelson Bay.

Mayor Palmer says Australia Day is a time to reflect on what it means to be Australian. “Australia Day is a time for reflection and it’s times like these, with large parts of our country affected by bushfires, that make you remember what it truly means to be Australian — banding together, looking out for each other and helping in any way
“The Rural Fire Service will be at many of our Australia Day events and I’d encourage our community to show their support for our firies and for those who have been affected by the fires,” he said.

Councillor Giacomo Arnott response after escorted from the Council Meeting
Police have charged a man at Raymond Terrace after he allegedly filmed women showering and getting dressed without their consent. ABOUT 10pm (Friday 10 January 2020), Police were called to an address in Raymond Terrace, after the intimate videos of three women, aged 22, 22 and 24, were allegedly found on the phone of the 23-year-old man. The man was arrested and taken to Raymond Terrace Police Station, where he was charged with three counts of intentionally recording an intimate image without consent, allegedly between April 2018 and January 2020. The man was also issued with an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order in relation to one of the women. He was granted conditional bail and is due to appear at Raymond Terrace Local Court on Tuesday 4 February 2020.

IN December we saw an almost unprecedented act in our local Council Chambers. Councillor Giacomo Arnott was escorted from the Council Meeting under Police escort after Mayor Ryan Palmer initiated the Councillor’s expulsion from the meeting. The outraged Councillor Arnott was not happy about the actions taken against him, and the matter was referred to the Office Of Local Government for a Determination.
That Determination is in and Councillor Arnott has been vindicated. The Office of Local Government found that the actions of Mayor Ryan Palmer at the Council Meeting in December in the expulsion of Councillor Arnott were unlawful. Councillor Arnott told News Of The Area, “The Office of Local Government has investigated Mayor Ryan Palmer’s behaviour and they have determined that his actions, and my expulsion from the meeting, were unlawful.
the Mayor and the Council as a whole,” said Councillor Arnott. The next Council Meeting according to the Port Stephens Council website is not scheduled until February 11, 2020. The incident raises some alarming questions around democracy within local Government.
“Unfortunately, this sorry “This was an illegal saga reflects very poorly on expulsion,” he said “I tried to make that clear on the night, but the Mayor wouldn’t even let me speak to defend myself. “It was against the Local Government Act, it was against the Local Government Regulations, and it was against Council’s own Code of Meeting Practice. “I’m calling on the Mayor to apologise for the unlawful expulsion, and I expect the meeting Minutes to reflect the Determination of the q Councillor Giacomo Arnott at the Council meeting.

garden waste on precious native habitats and household rubbish is dumped on Reserves and ILLEGAL dumping in and around Port in bushland. Stephens has a negative impact on the Nicholas Jones, Council’s Waste & environment. Compliance Coordinator told News Of The Landcare groups consistently see Area, “Illegal dumping costs the Councils across NSW millions of dollars each year. Please support the advertisers within the News Of The Area as they are bringing you your local news. “While it continues to be a problem in Port Stephens, the volume and frequency of illegal waste dumping has significantly decreased in recent times, which is great news for residents in Port Stephens.” Council has taken an active approach to illegal dumping by consistently
Information for local residents Salt Ash Air Weapons Range Training Program
enforcing the law, running proactive prevention projects and improving options for residents to dispose of waste legally. This approach has helped Port Stephens Council reduce illegal dumping in hotspot locations by 90% compared to last year. “We know the problem of illegal dumping will always occur but it’s great to see the steps we’re taking have had a significant impact in Port Stephens.” Port Stephens Council also actively engages with other stakeholders in the community like large land holders and NSW Government agencies to work together, and share the responsibility for managing their land. These include NSW Police, Roads and Maritime Services, National Parks & Wildlife, Local Aboriginal Land Councils and State Forests. “We acknowledge there may be incidents of illegal dumping that we may not be aware of and we actively encourage the community to report incidents to either Council or the NSW
EPA. “Community reporting of dumping is a crucial part of the ongoing solution,” he said. Council wants to make it easy for people to do the right thing. That’s why Council offers 2 on-call kerbside collections per calendar year for bulky items and green waste,” said Aaron Malloy, Council’s Waste Management Coordinator. The community is urged to take advantage of free drop off days for green waste and problem waste like mattresses, tyres, chemicals and e-waste. “We’ve found the introduction of these free drop off days has led to a decrease in the amount of these items being dumped illegally. For more information about Council’s waste services, visit https:// www.portstephens.nsw.gov.au/ live/resident-services/rubbishand-recycling,” said Malloy. Of course one of the most sustainable solutions for household items is recycling and the Salamander Bay Recycling Centre takes all sorts of items like batteries, doors, and furniture.

Where to Next for Town Makeover By Marian SAMPSON

in addition to the Creative Communities fee. “The remaining funds will be spent on other revitalisation projects in the town centre. “Our Waste team also contributed an extra $4000 during the makeover for the pathways made of Greencrete which is a more environmentally sustainable form of concrete that contains recycled glass.” Council did contribute more than dollars with Councillor Smith saying, “I’m proud to say a lot of staff volunteered their time to participate in the 7 Day Makeover. “While the exact number hasn’t been tallied, it was great to see everyone from the General Manager to officers and workers getting involved alongside the community volunteers,” she said.

the residents but it is a case of ‘watch this space’. The input from the Creative Communities team has the potential to have a knock on effect in other townships around Port Stephens this is on Council’s radar as well as that of many community groups. The Anna Bay 7 Day Makeover has taught the community valuable lessons that we can take forward, some of the prime ones are based around self determination and the benefits of cutting red tape. Tomaree Business Chamber President Leah Anderson who initiated the 7 Day Makeover through a public access address at a Council Meeting told News Of The Area, “It would be wonderful to continue to engage with Creative Communities to deliver this type of program however we now have the templates, tools and understanding how to replicate this type of program.” The old Salamander Shopping Precinct has already reached out to Chamber with
a desire to replicate the Makeover in their precinct. “Of course all Makeovers require funding and engagement from community groups along with help from Council to deliver. “The community needs to have key groups that will band together to make things happen. “Chamber will continue to be a key stakeholder and knowledge bank for the community and business engagement to achieve positive outcomes.” There are still considerable funds available from the Council contribution to the Makeover with some speculating that this could be over $200,000. Anderson is keen to continue to work with Council and the community to deliver more of the concepts developed in the Creative Communities day and a half long planning process which engaged with over 100 people. “Watch this space and the townships all over Port Stephens to see where’s next,” she said.

o you have a pressing problem, annoying anxiety or community conundrum? Jasminda Featherlight, our resident roving Agony Aunt, is here to help. Jasminda will be responding to questions from readers throughout the circulation area of our FOUR News Of The Area papers on a rotating basis. SEND your concerns to Jasminda care of media@newsofthearea.com.au and include your title, initials and suburb.
Dear Jasminda,
We have a bit of a ‘toilet seat up’ or ‘toilet seat down’ argument going on in our household. What is appropriate? Mrs SV, One Mile Dear Mrs SV, COMING from the salubrious suburb of One Mile, I’m surprised there is any argument at all. Don’t you lot have bidets and a voice-activated toilet seat warming system that says ‘Ready James’ when it reaches the required temperature? I think we all have toilet adventures to share. I’d say my worst experience was travelling from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. This train journey took 13 hours and after viewing the toilet, I made a little pact with myself that I would be able to hold on until we reached our destination. Of course that was wishful thinking given I had to consume quite a bit of vodka to cope with rattling through the countryside and listening to my sister complain that a flight would have been smarter. At around the 12 hour mark, I gave in and during a particularly turbulent section of of the journey, I attempted to hold on for dear life, hold my nose, balance over a hole that went directly onto the train tracks and empty my bladder. Now, I’m quite the multiskiller when required, Mrs SV, but I’m pretty sure I left that cubicle with wee on my face, toilet paper stuck to my shoes, the faecal matter of the last 24 visitors in my respiratory system, and the expression of someone who’d seen things that no-one should see. There was no issue with whether to leave the seat up or down, though. There was no seat. I think it’s common courtesy to put the toilet seat down if you are a male and you share a bathroom with females. It is also common courtesy to remove any traces of your visit such as reading material, stray body fluids, empty toilet rolls and so on. Few things are more annoying than an empty toilet roll on the floor and a new roll placed on the window sill instead of the toilet roll holder. Bathrooms are no place to display passive aggression. Then there’s the whole ‘if it’s yellow, let it mellow’ debate. Given our current water restrictions, there are clear advantages. Really, though, not too many of us want to see someone else’s urine, so when visiting others, flushing is the safest bet.Thankfully I live on a bit of land so the males in this family often visit the lemon tree.

YM Efficiency community briefings for Port Stephens
By Mick KINLEY
YOU may be aware that on 12 December 2019, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority awarded the tender contract for Operation Recovery – YM Efficiency to Ardent Oceania. Ardent Oceania is an international salvage and offshore construction operator we have tasked to remove 60 shipping containers lost overboard YM Efficiency off the Newcastle-Port Stephens coast on 1 June 2018. These containers and their contents pose an ongoing unacceptable risk to the Australian coastal environment. We know that the declared contents of many of the containers are plastic and the steel containers will eventually corrode and release into the marine environment either

suddenly or over a period of time. Commencing salvage operations to remove debris from your local waters is a priority for us, with preparations already underway ready to commence the four-week recovery operations during March 2020. On 17 January 2020, we will be briefing local commercial fishing groups on the salvage operations, how risks will be managed and address their concerns. We would like to also offer you a briefing about the recovery operations and how we will engage with your constituents during this time. The project team will be available to meet with you on 17 January or on a day that suits you. If you would like a briefing please RSVP operationrecovery@ amsa.gov.au and we will contact you to arrange a
time. On 4 and 5 February 2020, we will host community information sessions for people who live and work in the region, or have been affected by the incident.

“I’m torn between taking my home loan as fixed or variable. Any advice?” YOUR loan officer is best placed to answer to this question as he/she will be in a better position to assess your financial position. However, I’m happy to provide a real estate agent’s perspective. A fixed rate gives you budget and repayment clarity as your interest rate remains static over the life of your loan. You’re probably in a better position should interest rates increase. However, should rates decrease, then paying a higher rate, you might feel disadvantaged. A flexible rate provides you with more flexibility as you can make additional repayments, therefore paying down your loan faster which is a money-saver if the timing is right. The kitty you amass from those additional repayments also gives you a ‘redraw’ option you can access to service renovations/additions etc. which adds capital value to your asset. Talking with your loan officer will provide you with guidance on which is best. Perhaps it might be a mix of both with a portion being under fixed and the remainder being variable. With the correct advice you’ll not only be on your way to purchasing your home, but to increasing its value and owning it outright! This is only general information and you should always seek professional financial advice.
I hope this helps Denise

Recycle Centre Upgraded Honours Display $15K Pledge for local RFS
By Mitch LEES
THIS Fire season has seen unprecedented challenges faced by the NSW RFS across the State with resources stretched and personnel exhausted from its increased duration. Now more than ever Brigades are calling out for further assistance for new and upgraded equipment as the hotter and drier conditions look to continue into the future. That’s why the Salamander Bay Recycle Centre has recently pledged $15,000 to be split between the Soldiers Point, Anna Bay and Fingal Bay Brigades to help meet shortfalls in Government funding for vital resources. Gerard McClafferty, General Manager of Salamander Bay Recycle Centre, said that as the Organisation was run by the community, for the community, it was imperative to get behind the local RFS Brigades. “With all the fires affecting the many towns across the State it was important that we got behind and supported the essential Services the RFS
provide,” said Mr McClafferty. “Not only do we need our Brigades well equipped here at home, we also need them ready to help out other struggling communities in times of emergency.” Daniel O’Meara, Captain of the Soldiers Point Brigade, said that the extra funds will come just in time to get prepared for the months and years ahead. “We’ve had some damaged radio and communications gear from the last couple of months of being deployed and it will really help us out,” said Captain O’Meara. “We only just got our main fire fighting truck back into the region before Christmas and it looks like we could be heading south to help around the Nowra region soon.” Captain O’Meara emphasised that almost all crews across the State were “scraping the bottom of the barrel” and needed whatever support people could muster.” To donate to the NSW RFS head to https://www.rfs.nsw. gov.au/volunteer/supportyour-local-brigade or visit your local brigade’s Facebook page.
