Commonwealth Bank promises… we’ll keep bush branches open! By HARRIET GILMORE THE Commonwealth Bank (CBA) has this week conﬁ rmed their commitment to the bush, at least for the time-being, extending their promise to keep regional branches open for another three years. In a statement released on Friday, our largest financial institution, promised to maintain banking services and employment in regional Australia by keeping all CBA regional branches open, until at least the end of 2026; a three year extension on its previous commitment. Unlike the NAB, who recently conﬁ rmed it would be closing its Warren branch in August, the Commonwealth Bank has held-off any such decisions. They added that — although they recognise the way customers bank is changing with more people adopting digital banking services — they will still support customers in regional areas who prefer banking in-branches, and so will maintain their existing face-to-face services in these communities. Residents of regional areas have for decades voiced concerns about continuing branch closures from the big four banks, which has recently led to a year-long Senate Inquiry. Earlier this year, CBA, Westpac, and ANZ, all committed to pausing regional bank closures until the Senate Inquiry concluded. Continued page 4

Elders are commemorated and remembered in NAIDOC Week By HARRIET GILMORE ALMOST 50 locals came along to share their stories and pay tribute to Indigenous peoples of the past and present, at the official opening of the NAIDOC Week, “For Our Elders” exhibition, held Thursday morning. The exhibition and morning tea were organised and hosted by the Warren MPS and Aboriginal Health Worker, Mary Small. This special event, being hosted at the Warren Museum and Art Gallery (“The WAM”); both showcases and pays tribute to past and present Elders of the Warren community. Both Ms Small, and her sister, Lila Gordon, were instrumental in organising the exhibition, through contacting local families for photographs, family histories, and approvals, for the exhibition — which is believed to be the ﬁ rst of its kind in Warren. While it was a big undertaking, Ms Small said that she was proud to be involved with the show on this year’s national NAIDOC Week theme; “For our Elders”. “We decided to put-together a tribute to Elders that have passed, and Elders that we still have in the community today,” Ms Small said. “It was a big collaboration with my sister, and

We’re really pleased that we’ve been able to document and showcase quite a few of the Aboriginal families here in Warren, and the history of the community,” Ms

Small said. “It’s the ﬁ rst time something like this has been done for the Warren community, and it’s extremely important that we pay tribute and acknowledge our Elders who raised us and made us who we are today; but also, to show and teach the next generation our history,” she explained. The morning tea and opening featured with inspiring

stories and memories from all who came along with more than a dozen local families sharing photos of their Elders who are no longer with us. Nettie Slade, whose family features in the exhibition, said she was incredibly proud to be at the event and involved in the project. Cotinued page 3

Log-jams caused by 2022 floods; removal of two debris rafts in the Macquarie River north of Warren, starts next month. PHOTO: NSW EPA.

By HARRIET GILMORE TWO flood-caused blockages known technically as ‘debris rafts’ or ‘log jams’, will be removed from the Macquarie River north of Warren next month. The work follows a report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that found the flood-created impediments have the potential to restrict flow and become a hazard, if there is another flood event. Created from the 2022 series of flood events in NSW, there are seven of these debris rafts along approximately 15 kilometres of the Macquarie River, starting about 10 kilometres north of Warren. The NSW EPA will engage a contractor and coordinate the work to remove rafts number four and seven, with work expected to commence in August. A community meeting hosted by RiverSmart and the EPA at the Windows on the Wetland Centre at the end of June, outlined plans for the removal of the potentially-hazardous jam. More than a dozen locals, as well Central West Slopes and Plains area: Patches of frost and the chance of fog in the morning. Sunny afternoon. Light winds.

A spokesperson for the EPA, said that the meeting informed the community of the step-by-step process for the partial removal of debris from the two rafts, and ongoing monitoring that will be undertaken before, during, and after, the proposed works. “The EPA has had multiple meetings with the local community and stakeholders and learnt valuable information that has assisted with the planning of works and monitoring programs,” the spokesperson said. Warren Shire Council general manager, Gary Woodman, said that council was pleased that the EPA, using Disaster Flood Recovery Funding following the completion of the tendering process, would start partially removing rafts downstream of Warren. The environmental agency will also start monitoring the effects of the other rafts, to determine if removal works are also warranted. Community members present at the meeting were also able to high-

It is understood that the EPA planned to inspect these problems and undertake further investigations. The focus of debris removal next month will be on bio-matter that is hazardous, man-made, and of exotic woods origin. Water-flow, water quality, and bank erosion, will be considered during the assessment phase and may impact how some of the work is completed. The EPA spokesperson said they would like to thank the local community for being generous with their time and information, and for their patience, as they plan for these complex works to ensure they are executed safely. Tender documents for the removal works will be released shortly, with contact details for local contractors shared with the EPA at the meeting last week. Tender documents will also be shared with local contractors when they are available.

From page 1 “It means a lot to me to have my Mum on the wall here today, and it’s wonderful to see everyone represented in the pictures,” Ms Slade said. “It’s a very special day today, and to have so many people here at the morning tea, celebrating our Elders and those that are no longer with us – it’s really special,” she added. Ms Small said she hopes to turn the collection into a book, once the exhibition ﬁ nishes at the end of the month. “Nothing has ever been recorded about all the Aboriginal families in Warren,” she said. “So, I’m hoping to get some funding and

turn the exhibition into a book of all the families from here; it’s so important it is recorded,” Ms Small enthused. The exhibition will be on display at The WAM for the next three weeks, and she hopes more pictures on local Aboriginal history, can be shared as a result of the Exhibition’s positive publicity. “I’m so pleased to be able to showcase and record all the families of Warren,” Ms Small said. “But there are deﬁ nitely more out there, so I hope everyone can come along to the exhibition and, if there are more pictures and families who want to share and be a part of the exhibition, please let me know,” she concluded.

Telstra announces deal with Elon Musk’s Starlink By HARRIET GILMORE TELSTRA announced last week it had partnered with Elon Musk’s Starlink to boost connectivity for regional and remote Australia. The worldﬁ rst deal will enable Telstra to offer home phone service and Starlink broadband services to Aussies as a bundle offer, as well as local tech support and the option of professional installation. Elon Musk’s Starlink, an alternative to NBN’s Sky Muster, has been offering low earth orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity to Australians since 2021. One of the beneﬁts of LEO satellites is that they are

much closer to earth, allowing them to send and receive signals faster. This makes them a great option for services that need low-latency, like voice and video calls or providing backhaul to mobile networks. Residents outside of Warren, in Nevertire and on rural properties, like many regional and remote areas, have no access to NBN or ﬁ xed internet services, relying on satellite internet or mobile internet from Telstra or more recently for Nevertire residents Optus – none of which are as fast or affordable as ﬁ xed NBN. Nevertire resident Tony Waters installed Starlink earlier in the year and said it was the

best internet service he’s had so far. “Internet has been a real problem for us. We were previously using Telstra with a MEMO aerial and booster, and have previously had Sky Muster, but Starlink is deﬁ nitely a big improvement. It’s much quicker, double the speeds of anything we’ve had in the past, and data is unlimited, which is something we’ve not had access to previously,” said Mr Waters. Telstra CEO Vicki Brady said the Starlink agreement was part of Telstra’s T25 strategy commitment to launch a satellite product with the voice and broadband options be-

FAITH MATTERS

God’s umbrella is a big one; and we can shelter under it By SHIRLEY TODHUNTER JESUS spent his last three years on earth, preparing his Disciples for the time when he’d no longer be with them; a bit like a mother bird teaching her chicks to ﬂy. He did this ﬁ rst, by demonstrating the action, and then, by gently nudging them out of the nest, but always careful to catch them before they hit the ground! He’d demonstrated the love of God, instructed the Disciples in the law of God, and taken them throughout the countryside, teaching them amongst the people so they would better understand his

ing available to consumer and business customers. “Telstra is always looking to invest in new and better connectivity options for our customers. We know that collaborating with the right partners is one of the best ways to help unlock a digital future, in this case for people in rural and remote Australia looking for an improved voice or broadband service,” Ms Brady said. “Our teams have been out across the country testing and trialling LEO satellite technology to ensure we understand where it’s the best solution for our consumer and business customers. “What will set our offer

apart is the addition of Telstra voice service, a professional install option and the ability to get local help with your setup if needed. “In addition, this agreement will also provide connectivity options for our business customers in Australia and overseas, as a higher bandwidth business grade option in areas without ﬁ xed and mobile connectivity,” said Ms Brady. Pricing and when the partnership will launch are yet to be announced, but it is expected later in the year. Starlink is a satellite internet constellation designed, owned and operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

ways, knowing that it’s much easier to learn by seeing and doing. Now it’s time for him to push them out of the nest, to let them soar under their own steam, to let them demonstrate his teaching. Conﬁdent they have learned their lessons well, he, knowing the task won’t be easy without his protection, asks his father to watch over them. Now, today, God the Son, shows his love for us by asking his Father for our protection. God the Father gives that protection unstintingly, caring for us in everything we do. God’s umbrella is a big one and we are all welcome to shelter under it, come rain or shine.

Good news for bush banking; Warren’s Commonwealth Bank Branch won’t be following in the NAB’s footsteps and closing, with the CBA confirming that all country branches, will stay open until at least 2026. PHOTO: WARREN STAR. From page 1 The NAB, however, did not and, last month, announced a string of regional bank closures, including at Warren, Gilgandra, Wellington, and Condobolin. CBA Retail Banking Services Group Executive, Angus Sullivan, said that, while the ﬁ nancial world is fast-evolving, there are many who still prefer banking in traditional ways. “We recognise the way people are banking is changing, with more customers adopting the beneﬁts offered by digital and phone-based services,” Mr Sullivan said. “Through this time of change, we want to support customers in regional

areas who prefer banking in-branch, and so we will maintain our existing face-to-face services in these communities,” he added. The three-year pause, he said, was good news for rural and regional communities. This “announcement, ensures CBA continues to offer the largest branch network in Australia, providing customers across the country, with a wide range of ﬂexible banking options and locations,” he said. “We look forward to working closely with regional communities over the next three years to reﬁ ne how we better support and familiarise them with all the CBA banking services available,” Mr Sullivan concluded.

Keen kids put to the test at Trangie Junior Judging Day FIRST day of the school holidays is often a welcome break for many kids; but not for the 100 keen competitors from around the State, who recently took part in the Trangie Junior Judging Day. Competitors at the NSW DPI Trangie Agricultural Research Centre-hosted event, were aged from six to 19 years and travelled from near and far, including Murrumbateman, Condobolin, Coonabarabran, Bathurst, and Dubbo — as well as a strong contingent of “locals” from Warren, Trangie, Narromine, and Tottenham. The keen-eyed youngsters were all given the opportunity to assess beef cattle, meat sheep, Merino sheep, cotton samples, wool ﬂeeces, and grain samples, as well as learn more about all of these agricultural products. Meg Dunford from the NSW DPI School Unit, also provided helpful tips on how to best structure the public speaking component of junior judging events — a vital skill for all. Kath Donoghue from Trangie Junior Judging, said that the long-standing event, one of the trophies dates back to 1940, was a great success. Competitors and spectators alike were able to learn plenty from experts present, as well as having a great day

out with their friends. “Many thanks to NSW Farmers for their generous sponsorship of the event, the breeders that provided livestock including Egelabra Merino Stud, Double C Australian Whites, Walker Suffolks and NSW DPI, and to Graincorp, Quality Wool and Queensland Cotton for providing the agricultural products,” Kath said. Overall Champion On the Day, as well as Senior Champion, was Sam Chad from Dubbo. Other winners included Mary Westwood of Gilgandra, who was Reserve Senior Champion; Jade Thompson from Coonabarabran who was Junior Champion; Leila Pearce of Dubbo who was Reserve Junior Champion; Amelia Mitchell of Bathurst who took home the Austin Steer Memorial Award; and Jonathan Fisher of Gulargambone who was winner of the Sub-Junior Champion Most Enthusiastic Award. Local winners included Max Whitely, who was awarded the Junior Encouragement Award; Ted Whitely and Olivia Bell, who took home the Sub-Junior Encouragement Awards; Julia Barnett who placed third in Junior Cotton; and Ryan Bell and Will Austin, who were placed third and fifth respectively in Junior Wool.

ROY’S OY’S ROUND-UP OUND-UP Comment mment by Y BUTLER, ROY te Member State for Barwon

G’day folks, PARLIAMENT has risen for the Winter Break, and won’t sit again until August, which means that I can get out on the road again, to meet with constituents and even to take the Treasurer around part of the electorate. This should be an interesting and productive few weeks.

ICPA WHILE the country is a great place to live and a great place for children to grow-up, there are certain disadvantages that many children in regional areas face every day. While in Parliament recently, I met with representatives from the ICPA (Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association) who look-after all kinds of matters relating to education and the welfare of children across the State, but with a particular focus on those in regional areas. The ICPA representatives had several issues to raise, including some of the incentives given to teachers working in remote areas, also the rules relating to parents’ eligibility for funding for their students going to remote schools. Other issues covered some the shortfalls in IPTAAS, the slow progress on the pre-

and working in regional and remote locations, such as improving connectivity, resolving reception problems, and how to use your home WiFi to enable you to make calls and texts on your mobile phone.

Growing Regions Program ROUND One of the Australian Government’s new Growing Regions Program is now open for applications until next month. The program will provide grants of between $500,000 and $15 million to support capital works projects for community and economic infrastructure across regional, rural, and remote areas. While I encourage eligible school at Wanaaring, poor internet connectivity, and the problems with distance education, staffing levels at remote schools and student travel cards. These are all things that I am consulting with the ICPA and regional communities and talking to the Government about, looking for solutions.

Students visit parliament I HAD the privilege and pleasure of taking part in the student leadership program at NSW Parliament last month. This program brings young student leaders into Parliament to give them an idea of how our political system works and to allow them to interact with their local representatives in Parliament. It was great to see students from several Barwon schools — Narrabri High School, Dunedoo Central School, Coonamble High School, Tottenham Central School, Lake Cargelligo Central School, Gilgandra High School, Gulargambone Central School, Nyngan High School, Condobolin High School, and Coonabarabran High School. The students listened to some brief speeches from a panel, which consisted of about a dozen parliamentarians. The members talked to students about qualities of leadership, what makes a good leader, including attributes such as empathy and passion, and some also talked about what brought them into politics. There were also some great

not-for-proﬁt organisations and local governments to consider applying, please note that many applicants will be required to make a signiﬁcant co-funding contribution towards projects. If this requirement is restrictive, please email me — it is important that the Government is made aware of whether their programs are accessible and practical for our communities. For more details about the process of applying for these grants and eligibility criteria, visit the Department of Infrastructure website.

New Instant Asset Write-off falls short

My First Speech Competition opens

BACK in 2020, I discussed with locals the difference the Instant Asset Write-off would make to their businesses, allowing them to purchase machinery or other assets as a tax write-off. This was a great stimulus for regional economies, feeding into local suppliers and contractors. The new Instant Asset Write-off, is the lowest it has been since 2019, and my concern is that this falls short of providing our regions with what has been a fantastic supporter of productivity, especially for agricultural areas.

TOGETHER with the Speaker of the House Milton Dick (MP), I invite students across the Parkes electorate in Years 10, 11 and 12 to submit an entry to the “My First Speech Competition”. This competition asks students to imagine themselves as a newly-elected “Member of the House of Representatives”. The task is to write and present a 90-second ﬁ rst speech highlighting issues they are passionate about. Three lucky students will be ﬂown to Canberra with a parent or guardian, to present their speeches live and undertake a program of meetings at Parliament House. Entries close next month, please visit the website for more information.

questions from students, including one from Narrabri about what the Parliament was doing about chronic teacher shortages across the State. They later went to watch the Legislative Assembly during Question Time as part of their experience. I hope students had an informative, even inspiring, day in Parliament, and hope to see some of these future leaders active in their own communities someday soon.

from rates, fees, and other services, and the amount it costs to look after the roads. Often it is barely enough to keep the maintenance going, much less make the sort of repairs and improvements needed in the wake of the recent ﬂood events across the State, which is why so much funding was needed from the State and Federal Governments. In the past, the methods for funding maintenance have often been unevenly distributed and often subject to political considerations. Recently, there was also a major problem with being able to use whatever funding was offered before the deadline for using it expired, given that workers and equipment were both in short supply. In June in Parliament, I moved a notice-of-motion for the House to acknowledge this and to work toward a model for road funding that eliminates the political motives and works toward a more equitable scheme for road funding that provides more certainty for councils. Local governments in regional areas, need a reliable stream of funding, based on the amount of road they need to look after and the demonstrated need for that funding. They also need to be assured that they can extend the deadline for using the money in times when labour and machinery can’t easily be accessed.

announced a partnership that potentially could provide rural and remote communities with a connection boost. The partnership will provide home phone service and Starlink broadband services as a bundle, along with higher bandwidth options for businesses in areas without ﬁ xed and mobile connectivity. A lot of people in country NSW have already signed-up to Starlink services and the feedback I get is pretty good, hopefully this partnership will bring that service to more people. For too long, we have had unreliable or non-existent coverage out west. This partnership looks promising.

Biodiversity Offset Scheme THE intention of the biodiversity offset scheme is good, but it is not working for our regions. In the second sitting week in June, I delivered a Private Members’ statement in Parliament highlighting many concerns around the biodiversity offset scheme. The scheme is holding-back public good developments, vital housing projects, and social infrastructure like schools and universities. Regional development is critical to attracting people to our regions. There needs to be a better system that delivers both the beneﬁts of public good development and environmental protection.

Roads THE task of maintaining, repairing, and improving our roads falls to our councils but, given the huge scope of that task, particularly in Western NSW, most rely on funding from the State Government to make-up for the shortfall between the revenue they get

Junior doctors head west

RECENTLY the Government announced that 80 junior doctors could be working in our regions next year under a trial program. It’s called the “single employer model”. This model allows trainees in general practice, wanting to become rural generalists, to be employed under one employer, within one health district, for up to four years. Allowing them to transition between their GP and their rural hospital. It provides certainty to the trainee around location, income, and working conditions, and it helps-us grow our own doctors in the bush. Since being elected, health services in Barwon have been my priority, reversing some of the decline in our regional health system. Programs like this are an important part of the bigger picture. I look forward to seeing the results.

State government passes bill for housing and productivity By ANDREW TARRY AFFORDABLE housing in NSW has become a prolonged and entrenched issue. It doesn’t matter where you live or perhaps visit within the state, housing is in short supply. The situation has become a crisis as piecemeal solutions and efforts over the last few decades has resulted in serious structural problems with the development and supply of affordable quality housing. The character and nature of the problem varies depending upon many regions in NSW. In rural areas, lack of housing imposes potential population stagnation for communities, decreases in council incomes for services and utilities, and reduced productivity due to fewer workers, businesses, industries. Solutions to the housing supply shortage, particularly social and affordable housing, are becoming increasing scrutinised and debated in almost every space of public life as the NSW government, the media, councils and private companies and organisations become involved in the conversation. One component of this complex and diverse challenge is being brought before the NSW legislative assembly. On Tuesday, June 27 the Environment Planning and Assessment Amendment (Housing and Productivity Contributions) Bill 2023 passed the NSW Legislative Council. It is proposed that the bill will make changes to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). The act is a significant piece of legislation in the NSW government apparatus related to planning and developments within the state. The act covers an extensive range of areas and, among other things, that the “objects of this act are as follows – to promote the social and economic welfare of the community and a better environment by the proper management, development, and conservation of the State’s natural and other resources… to promote the orderly and economic use and development of land, to promote the delivery and maintenance of affordable housing… to promote good design and amenity of the built environment… to promote the sharing of the responsibility for environmental planning and assessment between the different levels of government in the state”. To make changes and amendments to the act requires a comprehensive multistage process. According to a release from the upper house committee which has been responsible for facilitating an inquiry into

the bill, “the bill seeks to introduce a new housing and productivity contribution that would replace the existing special infrastructure contributions scheme. It would also establish a strategic biodiversity contribution fund.” The bill targets section 7.24 of the Act which sets out the parameters and properties of special infrastructure contributions (SICs). SICs were legislated in 2005 in an amendment to EP&A Act. These kinds of subsections which make up a great portion of legislation and are often buried deep within a piece of government law/policy, very rarely surface into the public discourse. The question then is: what are special infrastructure contributions? The NSW government website describes SICs as: “one way the NSW government ensures funding is available for key state and regional infrastructure required to support growing communities, allowing priority infrastructure to be delivered at the same time as development.” “A SIC is paid by developers within a deﬁ ned ‘Special Contributions Area’ to support the cost of infrastructure delivery. This contribution helps to support key infrastructure such as state and regional roads, open space, schools, and health facilities-are are built in growth areas.” The special infrastructure contributions scheme therefore functions as a mechanism which the government can use to ensure that there are funds available to meet the demand placed upon infrastructure which is created by new developments. This is without having to constantly allocate funds out of taxpayer’s money through government budgets. In principle SICs appear to be one of many mechanisms which the state government has at its disposal to deliver consistent investment into infrastructure. However, there have been mounting problems with the special infrastructure contributions scheme. These problems have been acknowledged for a few years with the process to address this issue percolating over successive governments. In 2019 the Productivity Commission was tasked with producing a report on infrastructure contributions. The commission produced the Review of Infrastructure Contributions in NSW. The review is extensive and in comprehensive detail covers the broad topic of “how we determine what infrastructure is needed and how it will be funded.” The review provides a total of 29 recommendations across the different categories of contribution schemes. In one sec-

tion the problems with SICs and the subsequent need to remove the scheme is made apparent. In the fi ndings under the state and regional infrastructure section, the review has the following to say about the SICs scheme: f “The current approach to state and regional infrastructure is not working effectively. Stakeholders have criticised the ad hoc and ‘stop-start’ approach to special infrastructure contributions and the uncertainty this creates for industry and communities. f The lack of an efficient approach to infrastructure cost recovery has caused significant land value uplift around major projects. This tends to reduce the benefits to the state of public investment and is an inequitable transfer of wealth from taxpayers to certain property owners. f The recommended reform direction emphasises an efficient and comprehensive approach to cost recovery through improved state contributions rather than a shift to benefits capture.” The review provides several recommendations to these fi ndings. One key recommendation which was singled out in a statement of public interest in support of the Bill is to replace the existing SIC system with “a new broad-based charge to fund infrastructure and support growth. This charge will help government meet the cost of infrastructure needed to support growing communities and aid housing delivery.” Some of the recommendations are targeted to issues suffered in metropolitan areas, however, there are recommendations related to regional and rural areas in the findings. These argued that “contributions should be deposited into regional funds for infrastructure that supports regional growth. Governance arrangements should be similar to Restart NSW, with Infrastructure NSW prioritising projects in consultation with the Department and Treasury. Introduce an additional transport infrastructure contributions plan for projects that unlock growth.” Within the review is also the recognition that section 7.32 of the EP&A Act allows “authorities to levy contributions for affordable housing.” However, it seems that “the limited uptake of affordable housing schemes by councils suggests the contributions system plays a minor role in affordable housing supply. Moreover, it is not clear that housing is being made more affordable as a result of these schemes, as some stakeholders noted: the crea-

tion of a small quantity of “affordable housing”, may be at the cost of making other housing more expensive.” The review raises the question whether affordable housing should be made separate to the infrastructure contributions schemes. Developing affordable housing for the state through this mechanism has been largely ineffective. There are recommendations for improving accountability for housing contributions however, it is in the priority reforms where the review attempts to tackle the issue with a concerted and dynamic approach. The suggestions for reforms in full are: f “Removing the disincentive for councils to accept development and growth by allowing for the local government rate peg to reflect population growth. f Ensuring charges can be properly factored into feasibility studies by requiring contributions plans be developed prior to rezoning. f Introducing a direct land contribution obligation for landowners following rezoning to provide early and adequate funding for land. f Managing costs and complexity of section 7.11 local contributions plans by using benchmark costs and focusing the role of the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal in reviewing plans. f Removing barriers to construction and improving project feasibility by deferring payment of local contributions to the occupation certificate stage. f Providing a simpler option for councils by increasing the maximum rate of section 7.12 fi xed development consent levies, in certain circumstances. f Limiting the use of state and local planning agreements to direct delivery of works and supporting infrastructure for ‘out-of-sequence’ developments. f Addressing insufficient and ad hoc section 7.24 special infrastructure contributions through implementation of modest and simple broadbased regional charges f Ensuring the beneficiaries of major transport investments contribute to the cost by implementing an additional state contribution for rezoned properties within station service catchments. f Taking pressure off household water bills by transitioning to cost reflective charges for water connections. f Making the system easier to navigate and comply with by providing and maintaining clear and rationalised guidance and comprehensive digital tools.

f Being more transparent in reporting on how much money is collected and where it is spent.” The review argues that these combined reforms “offer net benefits to the economy of up to $12 billion over 20 years. They will be realised as better services, lower house prices, and savings for business. At a macro level, the reforms are estimated to support an additional 2600 jobs and increase gross state product by more than $600 million each year. They will enable more efficient development and support housing affordability.” This brings us back to the committee report and the Bill which hopes to bring forward some of the recommendations from the review. Ms Sue Higginson MLC, chair of the Planning and Environment Committee, stated that “the bill empowers the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces to make a ministerial order requiring a housing and productivity contribution from developers which is to be used to fund infrastructure in the same region. Infrastructure is defi ned to include public amenities or public services, roads, transport, affordable housing, and measures to conserve the natural environment. A project must be in a state strategic plan or the State Infrastructure Strategy to receive money from the Housing and Productivity Fund. Ms Higginson continued: “While stakeholders were generally supportive of the bill, issues were raised about some aspects, including the appropriate time for payment of the housing and productivity contribution. In addition, although stakeholders were pleased to see affordable housing included in the defi nition of regional infrastructure, there is some concern that the NSW government does not currently plan to use the contribution fund to build this essential form of housing.” Whether affordable housing should remain as part of the contributions scheme as the Bill suggests, albeit with some amendments to the mechanism, or be removed entirely as per the review’s query, will be part of the debate that takes place in the legislative council. Regardless, the importance of progressing the discussion and potential solutions to the housing supply shortage and affordable housing crisis is becoming increasing salient. The possibility of the situation continuing in its current form is not an appealing one and debates about the problem can’t go on indefinitely.

Labor government targets housing Arts Council and Infrastructure growth gets $3000 to bring live theatre to town By ANDREW TARRY

By HARRIET GILMORE WHEN you’re trying to bring performers to the bush, every little bit helps! In this vein, Warren and District Arts Council, recently received a funding boost to bring live theatre to town in October. Announced last month, the Warren and District Arts Council is one of eight projects in the region to receive funding from Outback Arts’ Country Arts Support Program (CASP). A total of $3000 has been allocated to the Arts Council to support “The End of Winter” tour performance scheduled for October. Jenny Quigley from the Warren and District Arts Council said they were absolutely thrilled to receive the CASP grant for “The End of Winter”. “This shall allow the performance to be accessible to all members of our community and we really look forward to working with Critical Stages (who tour the show). Further details shall follow, so please mark Tuesday the 10th October 2023 in your diaries.” Outback Arts Executive Director Jamie-Lea Trindall, said the CASP funding provides regional people with access to cultural programs that may otherwise have not been available. “CASP is a significant investment by Outback Arts with support of Create NSW to provide funds directly to regional areas,” Ms Trindall said. “It is a great initiative that allows regional communities and local people, with an opportunity to create and realise their own arts and culture projects,” she added. Written by Noëlle Janaczewska and staring 2022 Sydney Theatre Awards best actor winner Jane Phegan, “The End of Winter” is about loss and resilience and what’s happening to winter. “In hot, bushﬁ re-prone Australia our winters are becoming warmer and shorter. “Will climate change eventually erase the season, leaving it to exist only in paintings, fairytales and historical accounts? The End of Winter is about the places the writer goes in search of the cold weather she loves—places she can reach via public transport and the imagination.” Full details on the performance will be released in coming months.

THE NSW government minister for planning and public spaces, Paul Scully, has announced that recent legislation passed by the government will start addressing the housing crisis. The move comes as the impact of the housing supply shortage and affordability continues to and impacts thousands of people across the state. In the announcement from the NSW government the minister argues that “the former government left us with the biggest housing crisis this state has ever seen, so we’re taking action to get new home builds moving and supporting infrastructure funding.” The NSW government promised to act upon the housing crisis during its election campaign and seems to be moving ahead with their plans before the NSW parliamentary winter break. The announcement comes after the housing and productivity bill was passed on Tuesday night, June 27. In the an-

nouncement the minister said “the reforms aim to address housing supply shortages by dealing with a key bottleneck infrastructure. These reforms lock in infrastructure contributions of up to $700 million each year into the future helping to create great places around new housing. Our infrastructure contribution reforms set up a stronger system with a fair and consistent charge applied across Greater Sydney, Lower Hunter, Central Coast and the Illawarra-Shoalhaven, to help pay for the infrastructure needed to support growing communities. It includes $1 billion over 10 years for grants to local councils for regionally signiﬁcant facilities like sporting complexes and open spaces.” So far, the government hasn’t brought forward plans that specifically target the housing issues faced by rural and remote communities. This bill appears to focus on communities with high levels of housing growth. The purpose of the bill is to make changes to the Environment Assess-

ment and Planning Act 1979, removing “the ad-hoc Special Infrastructure Contribution system with a new broadbased charge, called the Housing and Productivity Contribution.”

Minister Scully took the opportunity to criticise the opposition in the announcement. “After 12 years of inaction on housing and effectively creating our current housing crisis, the Liberals and Nationals cynically voted against these reforms to better connect homes, jobs and infrastructure,” said Minister Scully. The announcement also added that “the Bill passed both Houses [today sic.], despite being opposed by the Liberal and National Parties despite them taking a similar plan to the last election.”

Despite this new piece of legalisation, housing will remain a critical issue in every region of the state for a long time to come.

It is intended that the new system will come into effect from October 1, 2023.

Biggest little Polocrosse Carnival ever; Quambone’s best, “by a country mile!”

A-Grade Mixed Winners, Bunnan Polocrosse Club, at the annual Quambone Polocrosse Carnival.

The biggest annual Quambone Polocrosse Carnival ever, had Quirindi Polocrosse as its A-Grade Open Winners. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

By HARRIET GILMORE THE biggest annual Quambone Polocrosse Carnival ever, featured a total of 216 riders and 36 teams from across the country, descending on the tiny north-western NSW village, on the ﬁ rst weekend of July. More remarkably, riders and teams come from as far away as Western Australia, Tasmania, Queensland , Victoria, Lake George near Canberra, as well as Bowral, Maitland, Qurindi, Dunnedoo, Inverell, and many other places in between. Ecstatic Club President, Simon Turnbull, described it as the largest gathering the tiny club has ever held: “by a country mile!” — but never, he added, has so much, been done, by so few. “Quambone’s following has grown from an atmosphere of ground-roots family fun with many teams made-up of parent and children’s combinations, to the huge carnival it

is today, with teams travelling from all over the country,” Mr Turnbull enthused. “Although this year was the smallest number of players we’ve had in years for the Quambone Club, we managed to pull-off such a huge achievement.” The resultant success, he believes, was down to everyone who helped and attended. “The club would like to say a massive ‘thank-you’ to everyone who came for the weekend; we have been left speechless with the support and array of teams who made the trek to play with us! “With 216 riders, along with their families and friends in attendance, it was such a great buzz right around the grounds,” Mr Turnbull said. The carnival featured a range of events from open class grades from A down to E; Grades A to C in the Mixed Competition; A and B Grade Juniors; and A and B Grade Subbies. The A-Grade Open Final

saw Inverell Polocrosse Club take-on Quirindi with the Inverell team ﬁ ghting hard and well. However, a number of pretty skillful pick-ups by Ollie Greentree and Hayden Turnbull, saw Quirindi secure the title with the Best and Fairest award going to Hayden Turnbull. The A-Grade Mixed Final was played between Bunnan Polocrosse Club and Quirindi, with the Bunnan team securing the win. The Warren/Double Up team were B-Grade Subbies winners, with Narrabri/Legends taking runners-up. The A-Grade Subbies ﬁ nal was between Gulgong Polocrosse Club’s two teams, with Team One securing the win. The Champion Sub-Junior award of the Carnival, went to Amelia Amey from Burradoo Polocrosse Club. In the B-Grade Juniors, a combination team made-up of players from a number of clubs and known as “The Dream Team”, were eventual winners, with

Narrabri Polocrosse Club the runners-up. The A-Grade Juniors final was also a hot contest between Quirindi Polocrosse and Polocrosse Association of Western Australia; with Quirindi notching the win against the WA Juniors, who had flown-over to play at Quambone before heading to the Whitehaven Coal Narrabri Junior Challenge. The Champion Junior Horse and Rider of the Carnival prize, was also awarded to the talented Erica Stuart from Mendooran Polocrosse Club. The E-Grade Open ﬁnal went into extra-time with Mendooran 3, defeating Gulgong 2. The D-Grade Open Final saw Cassilis Polocrosse Club 2, defeat Galloping Gully Polocrosse Club 3. The Cubbaroo Polocrosse Club also defeated Dunnedoo Polocrosse in the C-Grade Mixed event, with the C-Grade Open winners, Gully 2 over Mendooran 2. Cassillis 1 were the B-Grade

Mixed winners defeating Gulgong 1; with the B-Grade Open winners Mendooran 1, who defeated the Western Wanders. The Peter Cookson Memorial Trophy for “Best Gentleman Player of the Carnival”, was won by Quirindi’s Hayden Turnbull. The Jacinta Mallon Memorial Trophy for “Best Lady Horse and Rider of the Carnival” went to Narrabri’s Felicity Elford. Mr Turnbull said that ﬁ nancial support for such a tiny club, helped keep the event the success it had become. “We would like to thank our Carnival sponsors for their support of our small club and this event. “The contributions from all of our sponsors and our core group of families, who continue to support and back our tiny club, means the world to our members and we can’t thank you all enough!” he concluded.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES MICHAEL Heagney, a long time successful jockey, marked his recent return to race riding after serious injury, with a winning double, Aphrodotti and Boongarra Girl, on Saturday, July 8 at Wellington. Cowra-based Heagney suffered a broken shoulder earlier this year when his mount after winning a barrier trial at Narromine veered to the outside fence. A jockey for close to 40 years and winner of over 1000 rac-

Winning doubles for Heagney and Stanley at Wellington es, Heagney surprised when he revealed his injury was the ﬁ rst serious one during his long career. The comeback winning ride was aboard the Maree Hopkins, Cowra-trained Aphrodotti in the 1400 metres Class Two Handicap. Starting a $31 outsider, Aphrodotti settled midﬁeld before sprinting to the front in the straight and racing to a two lengths win over Wasserman (Nick Heywood, $3.90 equal favourite) and Neidr Dawn (Will Stanley, $5.50). Handy to the lead turning for home, the Gayna Williams, Bathurst-trained Boongarra Girl ($5.50) brought up the Michael Heagney double when beating Luckyimwithaimee (Dylan Stanley, $6) and

Dysnomia (Chelsea Ings, $10) in the 1000 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap. Will Stanley, who is apprenticed to Alison Smith at Orange, also rode a winning double, the ﬁ rst leg being on the Smith trained Almanac in the 1400 metres Maiden Plate. Given a charmed run behind the leader Wandering Cloud, Almanac ($6) eventually won by a short head from Good Kitty (Nick Heywood, $3.60) with Outback Pat (Wendy Peel, $15) in third place. Relishing the heavy track, the Garry Lunn, Dubbo trained Jarmanagic (Will Stanley, $10) swooped on the leaders halfway down the straight and won the 1000 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap by over a length from Scoffa

(Beany Panya, $7) and Hampton Cove (Nick Heywood, $2.50 to $1.90 favourite). Mathew Cahill who was booked to ride Jarmanagic stood down for the race after being involved in an incident when his mount the Garry Lunn-trained Freycinet faltered and fell approaching the home turn in the 1000 metres Class One Handicap. Badly injured in a race fall in April 2022 the highly successful Mathew Cahill only recently returned to race riding and although he walked away unaided from the Wellington fall he took the rest of the day off. Apprentice Jayden Barrie on More Than Luck was unable to avoid the fallen horse and after his fall was taken to Dub-

bo hospital for assessment. The race was won by the Bryan Dixon Jnr, Gilgandra-trained Love Rat ($7.50) which led most of the way to account for Gunner Bill (Richard Bensley, $41) and Savvy Statement (Ashleigh Stanley, $18). Without a win after 16 starts, Sauce Dragon since recently joining the Sharon Jeffries stable at Parkes has ﬁ nished second at Dubbo followed by a win at Wellington in the 1000 metres Maiden Handicap. Holding a slender lead turning for home, Sauce Dragon ($3.90 fav.) held on under strong riding from Andrew Banks to score by a length from Our Little Zoe (Clayton Gallagher, $4.20) and Legris (Will Stanley, $31).

Cobar Camels Warren players excel at junior league carnival in Bathurst fold their tent, only six teams now for Western Plains Rugby By HARRIET GILMORE IN disappointing news for local football; the Cobar Camels Rugby Club have folded, withdrawing from the Western Plains Rugby season last week. The Camels said they were very disappointed to have to withdraw from the competition, but a 90-point drubbing at the hands of Walgett last weekend, and chronic player number shortage issues, are said to have been behind the difficult decision. Western Plains Rugby Treasurer, Brent Barwick, said that Cobar had enjoyed one of their stronger starts to the season in recent years, with a narrow loss to Walgett followed by victories over Coonamble and Gular, but declining player availability over recent weeks, due to both injuries and people leaving town, has led to them struggling for numbers. “The Camels only had seven available players for this weekend, and it wasn’t looking to get any better for the rest of the season, so an emergency meeting was called on Monday night where they made the decision to fold,” Mr Barwick said. According to the Western Plains competition byelaws, in the case of a club withdrawing from a competition, match points (for and against) in all matches of that club, are not counted for the rest of the season with their competition points also cancelled. With the table recalculated after results on Saturday, the Warren Pumas Men’s team are still sitting on top of the table with 31 points, after their narrow win over Brewarrina/Bourke. They are now followed by Walgett on 24 points; Nyngan on 19; Brewarrina/Bourke on 17; Coonamble on 10; and Gulargambone on 0. With the Pumas having lost their bonus point win over Cobar, their for-and-against has also taken a hit after their 90-point victory over Cobar last week was removed from the ladder. The Warren Girl’s table also remains the same, with the the Cobar Ladies side winless for the season. Mr Barwick said that all scheduled games against Cobar will now be a bye round, which means some rounds will only have one game played. This will be especially hard in the girl’s competition with the already existing extra bye rounds. It is hoped the Camels will be back next year, with Mr Barwick saying that the Western Plains Rugby Union Committee, will do everything they can to help Cobar get back on their feet, (or hooves), for the 2024 season.

U12 player, George Welsh, pictured with Dad Henry, played as dummy half. Contributed LAST weekend, four Warren based players took part in the Dubbo and District Junior League (DDJRL) U12 and U13 tackle development carnival, held at “Stannies” (St Stanislaus College) in Bathurst over two days. Mac Jackson, Riley Freeth, George Welsh, and Tom O’Neill braved the freezing conditions in order to take-on the best in the West, playing against teams drawn from around the region. Mac, playing for the undefeated U13s side, scored 16 individual points with U12 players, George and Tom, both scoring four points each, with Riley scoring six points after a successful conversion. A spokeswoman from DDJRL said that the event, hosted by the Lachlan JRL District, went very well, with the DDJRL sides competing very successfully against teams from Lithgow, Orange, Bathurst, Forbes, Parkes, Cowra, Gilgandra, and other western districts. “The DDJRL U13s side, coached by Scott Macleod and Josh Large, really had a brilliant weekend,” the spokesperson said. “They came away from the carnival undefeated with four strong

wins and, more importantly, they were a great team unit, both on and off the ﬁeld,” they added.. The junior side also had a great tournament, the spokesperson said. “The U12s, coached by Joe Williams and managed by Trent Irwin, really gave it their all, winning three out of their four matches,” she said. “The highlight of the weekend for them was their last game against Lachlan; the boys worked very well as a team, and cameaway with a great win.” Having trained together for a number of weeks in the lead-up to the event, the boys were able to form new friendships as well as improve their skills. “The main winner of the weekend was tough footy matches, new skills, new mates and lots of fun,” the DDJRL representative continued. “There were some great team dinners held, and the families and the players all had an enjoyable time, despite the cold weather!” The NSWRL development framework for junior players aged 12 years old and up, starts with these local district events. “The development pathway provided for both tackle and tag play-

ers within the Greater Western region is strong,” she said. “There have been a number of Warren based players who have made it through to the elite levels via our pathways and some have ultimately been offered contracts with the NRL,” the spokesperson said. The important thing, the spokesperson believes, is that, if you’re keen, have a go! “We encourage any eligible players who have passion, drive, and talent, to trial for these development squads, as they not only lead to great things footy-wise, they also lead to lifelong friendships. “Warren based players have always been a feature at DDJRL development level, and we hope to see many more of them coming through,” she ﬁ nished. Applications are now open to all DDJRL Under 14 and Under 15 tackle players to trial for selection in the DDJRL U14 and U15 teams on Sunday, July 23, at Apex Oval, Dubbo. Successful players will then go on to compete at the Western Region Carnival in Bathurst on Saturday, 23 September, where trials for the Western Cubs and Western Rams 2024 sides will take place.

Bourke/Bre almost topple Pumas’ winning streak By HARRY GAYNOR

A total of 16 local ladies thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the Nyngan Far West Rose Bowl Golf Tournament over the weekend. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

A CONTINGENT of 16 local golﬁ ng ladies made their way to Nyngan on Saturday, to participate in the Far West Rose Bowl Tournament that was run over two days. The competition comprised three grades of 81 golfers participating from a number of surrounding towns with Nyngan certainly turning-on ﬁ ne weather, food, course, entertainment, and hospitality. Warren was also very-well represented when it came time for the presentations, with lots of great results to take on the journey home. Saturday winners were Lyn Rawlinson and Barb Laws in the American Two-Ball Handicap event; with Deb Kentwell and Kaye Martin the runners-up; and Deb Kentwell the A-Grade NTP (nearest-the-pin). Sunday winners again included Lyn Rawlinson as the front-nine Scratch winner; with Barb Laws the runner-up; Kaye Martin the C-Grade 18-hole Scratch winner; with Bec McKay the C-Grade 18 hole Scratch runner-up. Pook Austin was the C-Grade 18-

hole Handicap runner-up; with Judy Ridley the A-Grade nearest-the-pin. Hearty thanks went to Nyngan for a great tournament, and a great weekend, with Warren now looking forward to hosting this same event next year, where the local club will strive to achieve the same standard that local players enjoyed at Nyngan. Upcoming events include, on Wednesday, July 12; the Nevertire Hotel Trophy Day involving 18-holes of Strokeplay and the July medal for the ﬁ fth round of the LGU. On Saturday, July 15, is the Rhonda Darcy and Christine Trudgett Trophy Day 18-hole Stableford and the Western District Spoon. Nyngan did exceptionally well in winning the 2023 Rose Bowl, in impressive fashion. Congratulations to Nyngan. Proverb: Each passing year is like a golf ball… You never know where it went!

THE Pumas and Pumarettes bounded aboard the long bus trip to Bourke on Saturday to take on the Bourke/ Brewarrina Barbarians for round nine of the Western Plains Championship. After a week of wet weather and substantial time off due to mid-season byes, both teams were heading west with a noticeable lack of momentum which had been driving their fi rst-round successes. For the Pumarettes, it was another case of being the undermanned team as they ran out. With disrupted training sessions preceding the game, the ladies focused on a simplified game plan, charging through the middle of the field, and quickly gaining field possession. Not deterred by her recent bout of jetlag, Alison Ruskin-Rowe was fi red up and breaking through Bourke’s sluggish defence. Teaming up with skipper Kaitlin Staniforth, the pair were quick to open the scoring with great ball movement close to the ruck. Bourke though were quick to follow with the same game plan, and by half-time the home team were up four tries to three. Yet the challenge only emboldened the Pumarettes in the second half, sticking with the same no-frills attack and gradually clawing their way back into the lead. Superb defence against the Ewes led to numerous nervous mistakes and desperate kicking, and eventually the Pumarettes held on to fi nish the game victorious, 35-25. Three points went to Alison Ruskin-Rowe, two points to Simone Fletcher, one Point to Maggie Cavanagh. The win boosted the Pumarettes back up to tied third on the table with Coonamble. The fi rst grade side started their game with a very contrasting mood. It was obvious from the whistle that a lack of recent game time, as well as numerous players out due to sickness and injury, had instilled an uncharacteristically nervous team. The Barbarians were eager to make a mark on the competition leaders and opened the scoring by utilising their lightning quick outside backs.

— The Dirty Birdie

A frustrated Pumas side were overrun again as the opposition’s physicality caught them by surprise and seemed to make field position look easy to obtain. Yet the Puma’s regathered after the second try to eventually complete some sets and make some space for flanker Harry Goddard to cross over. Halfback Jeremy Kelly did a superb job at changing momentum with a series of dominating box kicks to put Warren back in field position, and then forcing his way over for a try. Yet the Barbarians were quick to hit back with a late try before half-time and retain the lead. Both teams set out to make a statement at the start of the second half, raising the physicality even higher with some relentless defence across all aspects of the field. Dave Jenkins and Joe Hamblin were courageous with their ball-running in the centres to roll some momentum for the Pumas, and eventually Paul Arragon poked over to score off the back of some pick and driving attack. His fellow prop Jack Kelly followed suit with a similar try, putting the Pumas in front by six points with 10 minutes to go. Relentless pressure from the Barbarians eventually led to a charge down try under the posts, giving them a one point lead in the dying minutes. Regathering the ball the Pumas desperately made a last minute charge back down the field, and from 40 metres out they were gifted with a late penalty. Fullback Hagan Size strode up to the tee and nailed the penalty to win the game for the Pumas. A nervous ending continued the streak of seven straight wins for the Pumas this season and furthering their lead at the top of the table. Three points went to Hagan Size, two points Jack Kelly, one Point Harry Goddard, and Jeremy Kelly received Player’s Player. Unfortunately, next week will now be a bye due to the Cobar Camels forfeiting from the competition for the remainder of the season (read more inside this edition). Warren will travel out to Walgett for another top of the table showdown on July 22.
