Black Spot Gone
THE notorious 'black spot' on the main Lemon Tree Passage Road is now gone. For years 'the bend' around the hill on the way out of the suburb has claimed many victims with a poorly cambered road and excessive speed being blamed. Indeed, residents on the lower side of the black spot saw vehicles in their front yards or even inside their homes. If you look closely at one of the red brick houses you will notice that the brick colour on the front corner is a different one to the rest of the building. This resulted from tradesmen not quite being able to match it during the rebuild. The most recent accident saw a four-wheel-drive and a boat wiped out as a car, in the early hours of the morning and travelling at speed, lost control on this dangerous section of Councilroad.has just spent over $300,000 widening, resurfacing with 'hot mix' and kerbing and guttering the section which, according to local Councillor Steve Tucker, should eliminate the problem.“Therewill be no parking permitted on the southern side of the road and if the 50 kilometre per hour speed limit is observed there should be no problems in the future,” he stated.“The residents on the lower side will be very happy with the improvements and be able to sleep soundly,” he added. Potholes continue to be a problem with the never ending wet weather and council gangs constantly repairing them on a rotational basis. The $1,700,000 rebuild of Tanilba Rd Mallabula is well advanced with the expected finishing date being November this year.

Marine Ecosystems For Carbon Neutral Future
“NSW is lucky to have some of the most vibrant marine ecosystems in the world and I want to make sure we are protecting our rich biodiversity for generations to come while also leveraging investment opportunities.”Marineand coastal ecosystems in NSW currently store about ten million tonnes of carbon, which is equivalent to annual emissions from 500,000 households. Australia’s coastline stores approximately five to eleven percent of global blue carbonThestocks.Strategy will help unlock investment in blue carbon projects through carbon credits and other mechanisms that will ultimately benefit the state’s economy, environment, and build resilience to climate change. It provides an overview of how marine ecosystems are a powerhouse form of natural capital that can capture and store carbon while also improving foreshore protection, water quality, biodiversity and fisheries. It identifies actions within five priority areas to be delivered over the next five years: - Conserving blue carbon ecosystems and supporting their adaptation;-Delivering blue carbon projects on public, private and First Nations peoples owned and managed land; - Embedding blue carbon in coastal and marine policy planning and-management;Conducting blue carbon research;-Promoting pathways for blue carbonTheinvestment.NSWBlue Carbon Strategy builds upon existing management of threatened and protected marine species through the $9.1 million Seabirds to Seascapes initiative and the $184 million Marine Estate Management Strategy. To view the report, visit strategytopics/water/coasts/blue-carbon-www.environment.nsw.gov.au/https://
Some may not be aware that marine and coastal plants store carbon even more efficiently than trees.Minister for Environment James Griffin said the Strategy is perfectly timed given the new era of natural capital and the increasing demand for sustainable investment products.

“The simplest way to understand blue carbon is to liken it to underwater forests – just as trees store carbon, marine and coastal plants and ecosystems do too, except even more efficiently,” Mr Griffin said. “Marine plants and coastal ecosystems, such as seagrass, mangroves and saltmarsh, store carbon up to four times more efficiently than ecosystems on land. “Sadly since European settlement in Australia, we’ve lost huge swathes of these ecosystems. “We have more than 2,000 kilometres of NSW coastline and surrounding areas that could support the storage of additional blue carbon, which would significantly contribute to our goal of reducing carbon emissions, while restoring and rewilding our marine environment.
This is the most asked question by those wanting to borrow books in Tilligerry.The Tilligerry Community Library is situated on the main road opposite the Lemon Tree Passage Motel and when open, has a 'library' flag fluttering from a pole in front of it. It's been there for decades and is staffed by volunteers and operates from 10am until noon six days per week (Monday to Saturday). A big makeover a couple of years back saw new carpet, reader friendly furniture and a slick paint job spruce it up. What's more, a heavy cull of the least read books and an injection of new stock has something for everyone, including children.Tilligerry Men's Shed workers have just removed the old overgrown sign and have carved a new one which is much more visible. Business is more or less back to normal after a year or so of road work disruptions and the construction of a new police station two doors away.
MARINE ecosystems and coastal communities will benefit from increased investment and restoration projects as a result of the new NSW Blue Carbon Strategy.

“This matter is urgent and it requires decisive action by the Federal Government.“Overseas job seekers should be allowed to complete their application and appointment process prior to arriving in Australia in order to provide relief to hospitality businesses, fast. “While we welcome this week’s jobs and skills summit, if we don’t find a solution to get workers here soon, it will have been for nothing.” Restaurants and Caterers Association CEO Belinda Clarke staffing shortages are hurting the hospitality sector and called on the Summit to address the issue. “The Jobs and Skills Summit needs to come back with practical solutions that will alleviate one of the worst staffing shortages this country has faced in decades,” Ms Clarke said. “Whilst we’re concerned about the lack of hospitality voices at the summit, we are all still hoping that there will be more action than talk when it comes to tackling this enormous skills and staffing crisis the industryBusinessfaces.”

Dear Marie, If he is unwilling to go to the doctor, I suggest you do what I do each time I have an ongoing symptom, and use a symptom checker. Regardless of the symptom, be it an insect bite through to swollen glands, these symptom checkers bring up lifethreatening illnesses that will scare the bejesus out of anyone. Then, those insidious analytical marvels of the world wide web will manifest a swathe of posts into every social media form you use, bombarding you with advertisements for heart health, colonic cleanses, creams for arthritis, detox diets, and other solutions for problems you, until that point, didn't have. I've done the work for you on this occasion and I can give you a suite of health issues to choose from: mycoplasma pneumonia; adult asthma; emphysema; bronchitis; chronic sinusitis; whooping cough (wish I'd written this before today's Wordle); lung cancer and sarcoidosis.Runthose by your partner. I can feel the male bravado leaking out of him like a runny nose (in which case you can add hay fever, pulmonary embolism and chlamydial pharyngitis to his ever-growing list of potential conditions.
Public School student Zoe South was nominated for her efforts during the Hunter River High STEM day when Zoe noticed a student from another school who was alone. Zoe invited that student to join her friends, making a positiveKaruahimpact.Public School student Alex-Jon Lancaster was nominated for always being pleasant, polite and well-mannered when interacting with the canteen staff.The week prior, Irrawang Public School’s Laynie Travalos was nominated for her kindness to both preschool staff and children. Laynie is particularly helpful to those that are sad or need a friend, and courteous to everyone aroundRaymondher.

The NSW Football Legacy Program is a $10 million investment from the NSW government to support female football through the construction of new community facilities, participation initiatives, high performance, leadership and development programs as well as tourism and international engagement.

NORTHERN NSW Football has launched its Women in Football Scholarship Program to help break down barriers to female participation and increase representation of women and girls in football.The scholarship program, part of the NSW Football Legacy Program, will upskill women in non-playing roles and enhance female voices within the football community.
“The Women in Football Scholarship Program is a really great chance for women and girls in football to access education and opportunities,” NNSWF Legacy Plan Manager Annelise Rosnell said.“We want to see more female coaches, match officials and club administrators in the game and this scholarship program will certainly help facilitate that outcome.
The program will include referee, coach and volunteer education and development.
Female match officials, coaches and club administrators will have access to education and development opportunities as part of the program.
