FIRST PRINTED SATURDAY 21 SEPTEMBER 2019

Issue No: 264

Weekly information from us to you HISTORY TO LIFE: Mark Huthwaite delved into his renowned great-grandfather’s past while creating a collection of works.

CITY'S FAMOUS FACES FEATURED AT MUSEUM

By connecting the past with the present, budding artist Mark Huthwaite discovered he could forge his own identity while preserving the legacy of his renowned great-grandfather. “We were asked to do something that represented Wagga and I thought of my great-grandfather because he was very wellknown in his time,” Mark said. William George Huthwaite established his first store in Baylis Street in 1906. The business carried his name until it closed in 1981.

“I thought I knew a lot about him until I started searching,” Mark said. “I didn’t know as much as I thought.” Mark chose to focus on delivering a series of four paintings of his great-grandfather for a special exhibition in the Museum of the Riverina’s Historic Council Chambers site, launched on Tuesday. He’s been working on the striking, abstract portraits inside The Art Factory, a nurturing environment operating within the Riverina Community College for eight weeks. Continued on page 2

Floodplain focus in 'comms' plan A detailed plan to keep residents informed and updated about flood mitigation in their local communities will be put to Wagga Wagga City Council for its consideration and implementation on Monday night. The extensive Communications and Engagement Strategy document puts in place various ways to guide the communication outputs of projects related

to the floodplain for the Wagga Wagga Local Government Area. It also supports the work of both Wagga Wagga City Council and the Floodplain Risk Management Advisory Committee, which provides advice to Council on the development, implementation and delivery of actions contained in the Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plans (FRMSP). Council Director Commercial Operations Caroline Angel said the communications strategy will ensure local residents are kept informed with the most up-to-date information in the planning process. “Flood management is a complex, emotive and evolving issue that affects everyone in the Wagga Wagga LGA,” Ms Angel said. “Through this strategy, Wagga Wagga

City Council is continuing a long-term conversation with the community regarding all aspects of flood management including the current and future programs of works.” Chair of the Floodplain Risk Management Advisory Committee Councillor Vanessa Keenan said the communications strategy was an important step in ensuring local communities, such as North Wagga, were consulted and informed with the most current information on floodplain management. Cr Keenan said Council is keen to continue working closely with local residents to ensure everyone has a clear picture of floodplain management processes and issues. “I’m conscious there are a number of

rumours in North Wagga at the moment around what Council may or may not be doing regarding floodplain management,” Cr Keenan said. “It’s important that residents know that any work Council is doing, or is planning to do, is outlined in the adopted FRMSP. “I encourage residents who haven’t seen the plan to take a look through it and see what works are identified for North Wagga.” Cr Keenan said the FRMSP is the State Government requirement for all Councils to use in guiding their management of floodplains across NSW. She reinforced the need for residents to seek out factual information relating to management of the floodplain. Continued on page 2

Piece of Wagga history restored Restored to its former glory, this historic Wagga lantern will soon burn bright over the city once more. Some locals may remember this original lighting feature from its previous home in Collins Park, where it had stood since the mid-1930s. This salvaged piece of Wagga history is finding a new home at the historic Abutment A, which is being refurbished as part of the Hampden Bridge Legacy Project. Old photographs show gas lanterns were once iconic landmarks of Hampden Bridge and its surrounding landscape. “I think there were 10 of them in

Collins Park,” North Wagga resident Rodney Donkin said. “When they pulled them out, I think they were going to be sent to Sydney to be refurbished but the cost was going to be enormous.” Lucky for Rod, he had the expertise needed to take on the job of restoring the copper lanterns. “You’ve got to strip them, clean them and polish them,” he said. “Some of them do need restoration on dints and those sorts of things. The original window panes have also been replaced with sixmillimetre-thick laminated glass.

Rodney makes it sound simple, but the reality is, restoring a decadesold-lantern takes a lot patience, concentration and loving care. “If you want it right, you’ve got to do it right,” he admits. “And you’ve got to spend the time. “Every time we go past the Hampden Bridge site, which is fairly often, we’ll be able to say, ‘we did that’,” Rodney said. The Wagga Iron Foundry is making a replica cast-iron lantern post in preparation for the arrival of the lantern at the site of the former bridge crossing in Fitzmaurice Street.

GREAT-GRANDSON'S ART TRIBUTE TO W.G. HUTHWAITE From front page Mark uncovered a passion for art during his final year of high school, but after a series of personal challenges, he struggled to maintain a creative presence. “I lost it a bit,” he admitted. “I’ve really only found it again in the last year or so.” Mark finds putting paint to canvas has a therapeutic effect, providing him with a powerful avenue for selfexpression and emotional release. “To me it’s like anything in here (my mind) can come out here (on canvas),” he said. “If my mind is racing, my art is messy. If I’m in happy mood, my paintings are bright. “It really helps to get things

out, instead of keeping them inside.” Mark is one of five artists with works hanging inside the Museum of the Riverina. Fellow artist Jackie Meyers created an eye-catching portrait of Mayor Greg Conkey and former Prime Minister Bob Hawke as part of her impressive collection of works. “I like all of them,” Jackie declared. Places and Faces – Wagga Wagga and WG Huthwaite will hang in the Museum of the Riverina’s Historic Council Chambers until November 3. The exhibition is a partnership between the Museum of the Riverina, the Art Factory and Studio 90.

COUNCIL TO CONSIDER C O M M U N I C AT I O N S , E N G AG E M E N T P L A N

CREATIVE FLAIR: Scott Lea poses with his two paintings, titled (left) Boys and Girls and (right) Coat of Arms.

From front page “Any rumours about Council diverting funds, having ulterior motives for land in North Wagga or the like are just that, rumours,” Cr Keenan said. “I understand the importance of Council’s management of the floodplain to all residents who are impacted by riverine flooding and that it is hard not to be emotive about the issue. “Residents can have confidence though that Council is managing the floodplain in line with State Government Policy and will continue to encourage residents to be informed and participate in the management process.” More information on floodplain management and strategies can be viewed at www.waggaview.com.au/ floodfutures

Eunony Bridge upgrade works Lane closure and reduced speed limits Tuesday 24 September – Friday 4 October Motorists and heavy transport operators are advised there will be delays for those accessing Bomen and North Wagga areas along the Eunony Bridge route.

Testing works will start from 7am on Tuesday 24 September and are expected to be completed within 10 days on Friday 4 October 2019.

Wagga Wagga City Council plans to undertake works on Eunony Bridge which will result in the closure of one lane of the bridge and also affect speed limits in the area.

Bridge access will be reduced to one lane under 24-hour traffic control. Speed limits on the bridge approaches will be reduced to 40km/h and the speed limit whilst crossing the bridge will be reduced to 20km/h.

The engineering works are necessary to complete strength and soil tests prior to the $10.6M strengthening and widening of the bridge which are expected to begin soon after these initial tests have been completed.

Council advises there will be some delays under traffic control which is required to ensure safety in the area due to the lane closure.

Council encourages those utilising Eunony Bridge as part of their travel route during this period of works to allow extra time to reach their destination, or to consider an alternative route where appropriate.

If you have any questions about the upcoming works please contact Council on 1300 292 442 or email council@wagga.nsw.gov.au.

COUNCIL HELPING GULLIE SOW SEEDS OF SUCCESS

Collingullie Glenfield Park Football Netball Club is one step closer to completing major works at Crossroads Oval thanks to a $10,000 contribution from Wagga Wagga City Council. Club president Terry Fuller welcomed Council’s decision to support the longawaited ground improvements, set to include laser levelling, resurfacing and an upgrade of the ground’s sprinkler system. “We’ll establish an irrigation system around

WAGGA BOTANIC GARDENS ZOO AND AVIARY BENEFITING FROM EXCITING SPRING CLEAN

There’s change in the spring air at the Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens Zoo and Aviary. Council staff were hard at work on several exciting projects inside the popular attraction while the zoo was closed to the public last week. “The Botanic Gardens budgerigar aviary has been decommissioned,” Council’s Manager Parks and Strategic Operations Henry Pavitt said. “It’s now been removed to make way for the construction of a new enclosure.” Bird-lovers, never fear, the beautiful budgies will remain

on show in other areas of the zoo. “The budgies have all been relocated to other aviaries, including the free flight aviary,” Mr Pavitt said. Council staff also spent hours cleaning out and removing dead timber from the site to make way for new trees and vegetation. “We’re also looking at doing some remedial works to the ponds, so they’re all being drained,” Mr Pavitt said. “We’ll also be doing some work on drainage as well.” Certain areas of the zoo

remain cordoned off as the refreshing upgrade continues. “We’re looking to start an upgrade to the fences inside the zoo next month,” Project Coordinator Thomas Lemerle said. “We’ll be replacing the 170 metres of kangaroo, emu and alpaca fences.” The fencing works form part of Council’s $924,000 Entwine Project. Concepts for the Entwine Project are also being designed and will enhance both the Botanic Gardens and improve connection to the Museum of the Riverina.

STITCHING SUCCESS INTO SHOW FABRIC Armed with a needle and thread, budding costume designer Claudia Spackman has taken a journey back in time to breathe new life into two, iconic eras of Australian fashion. “I did a lot of research for what the costumes were for that year and I did a lot of talking to Damian Callinan about what he liked and what he thought,” she said. “Basically, it involved a lot of shopping and seeing what I liked.” While juggling her studies at Charles Sturt University, Claudia worked behind the scenes on the Wagga Civic Theatre’s original production The Hall Committee. Over five weeks, Claudia created most of the play’s eyecatching costumes, inspired by popular styles of the 1920s and furious ‘50s. “The (blue) dress was really hard to make,” she admitted. “It took a while, probably a week to put together.” The fledgling designer was even challenged to construct her own patterns for the outfits stemming from the ‘20s. “They are hard to get a hold of, you just can’t find them anymore,” she said. “So, I had to make my own. But my mum really helped me, she’s very talented.

the boundary line because the old system doesn’t reach,” he said. “We’re also installing a grassed warm-up and training area on the western fence line.” Mr Fuller expressed his gratitude to Council for getting behind the project. “We probably started working with Council on upgrading our facility six or seven years ago… we’ve come a long way.” Strategic Recreation Officer Peter Cook said Council has a strong, ongoing partnership

Council News - A City of Wagga Wagga publication


Sydney FC secures trial match in Wagga Wagga Some of Australia’s best women’s football players are in line to play in Wagga Wagga later this year when the city hosts its first ever Westfield W-League preseason match. Wagga Wagga City Council and Sydney FC this week confirmed the trial game against Newcastle Jets will be played on Sunday 3 November at McDonald’s Park, kicking off at 3pm. It is the first game in a partnership recently rubberstamped with Sydney FC which will also see a Hyundai A-League men’s pre-season game played against the Jets at the same venue in September 2020. The partnership with the A-League and W-League’s most successful club has the potential to be part of a longer-term contract with Sydney FC that would see men’s and women’s matches

played in Wagga in alternate years. SFC head coach Ante Juric will finalise his squad within the coming weeks but expects to take a strong line up to Wagga Wagga with a number of current Australian squad players in line for selection. Deputy Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Dallas Tout said women’s football has an increasingly strong following across the Riverina and the trial match is another top sporting opportunity for the city. “There is plenty of momentum from the Matildas’ success and also the recent World Cup to take into this pre-season friendly in Wagga Wagga,” Cr Tout said. “Our city continues to attract the big names in Australian sport – when it comes to football, there is no

Wagga would continue to build on the work being done to promote football in the regions. “I’m sure this will be a fantastic weekend for football in Wagga Wagga and I’m delighted we are coming to support the game in an area with a real passion for our sport,” Mr Townsend said. “Our W-League team will be on the cusp of beginning the defence of our Championship and I’m sure will be keen to put on a real show for the fans. “It will continue our excellent relationship with the Riverina and we hope to be able to encourage a new generation of football fans with our games here.” Tickets will be available online from Tuesday 24 September through the website ticketebo.com.au.

“The Sydney FC partnership with Wagga is set to deliver some huge benefits to the city and the region, and is also a huge injection for the continued development of our sport at all levels in this area particularly for women,” Mr Dobbin said. “Football Wagga Wagga recognises what a promotion like this can do for a sport, and to have Sydney FC’s W-League and A-League teams commit to matches in Wagga is great recognition FOOTY FANS: Deputy Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga of how regional cities have a Dallas Tout (front right) and Football Wagga Wagga role to play in expanding the president Tony Dobbin (left) at the announcement this week game. a W-League match will be played in the city on 3 November. “We’ll be well prepared to ensure the November bigger name than Sydney in this fixture.” game is a success as we then FC.

EUNONY BRIDGE LANE CLOSURE AND TRAFFIC DELAYS FOR TESTING WORKS

AIRPORT ACTION: Sirens and flashing lights signalled the start of a full scale emergency exercise at Wagga Wagga Airport last Saturday as the facility’s emergency plan was put to the test. The joint exercise between Council and RAAF Base Wagga was a simulated aircraft crash scene. Local volunteers played their part as accident victims while local emergency agencies responded in full to the emergency.
