WHAT CAN GO IN THE FOGO BIN?
• Bread • Fruit and vegetables • Dairy • Raw and cooked meat, bones and eggshells • Coffee grinds and tea leaves • Garden organics – lawn clippings, tree pruning • Compostable utensils, paper and cardboard
Commercial FOGO cuts waste It’s a hairy topic, but one Wagga Wagga City Council is ready to tackle head on.
With the support of local hair salons, Council is working to redirect piles of human hair out of landfill and into compost through its commercial Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) program. “The commercial FOGO program sits on the back of what we’ve already achieved through our residential FOGO service, rolled out in 2018,” Gregadoo Waste Management Facility Manager Geoffrey Pym said. “We sent away almost 10,000 tonnes of FOGO material collected from
residences last year. “Our commercial service engages business owners and their staff in the same program they currently use in their homes, making the transition to compost in the workplace very easy.” Lulu and Kit Haircutters are among a throng of local businesses embracing the weekly collection service in an effort to reduce their general waste and become more environmentally friendly. “We are doing at least a dozen hair cuts a day and it all adds up,” Lulu and Kit owneroperator Kirsty Quach said. “Having a bin, we can place all our organic material - like hair - in is not only saving us an enormous amount of space but reducing the costs associated with garbage removal.”
Unbeknownst to many, human hair – as well as pet hair or fur – is a rich source of nitrogen and can be added to a compost pile or bin. “Hair is an organic matter, just like coffee grinds, eggshells, bones, fruit and vegetables,” Mr Pym said. “You can even put compostable utensils, paper, cardboard and towels in the greenlidded bin.” A diverse cross-section of local businesses including schools, restaurants, cafes, pubs and clubs have already registered for the additional service, however, Mr Pym is hoping to see even more come on board. “This service is an easy way for businesses to actively make a positive difference to our environment while reaping financial
benefits,” Mr Pym said. “Commercial FOGO also offers benefits to ratepayers because landfill is ultimately an expensive exercise. “If we remove organic matter from landfill, we reduce costs as well as greenhouse gases, because organic matter breaks down in landfill. “ Council implemented its commercial waste collection system in September 2018 as an opt in or opt out basis. The commercial FOGO bins are 240L in size and are collected weekly. Businesses owners or managing agents can access information on signing up for service by phoning 1300 292 442 or visiting yourwaste.com.au/commercial.
Weekly waste tip Small amounts of cooking oil can be disposed into the green lid bin. Use paper towel to absorb the oil before placing in a green compostable liner. Large quantities of cooking oil can now be taken to Gregadoo Waste Management Centre where it is accepted for free.

LAKE ALBERT ROAD WORKS MOVING FORWARD Lake Albert Road’s Stage 2 upgrade (pictured) remains on schedule and will reach its halfway point this weekend after the first week of night works. The works will continue on Sunday night between 6pm and 6am and are scheduled for completion on Saturday 23 November, weather permitting. Operations have been focused along the section of road between Plumpton and Kooringal Roads. In the first five shifts more than 2800 tonnes of asphalt hotmix has been laid along 1.2 kilometre of road, six metres wide. This stage of asphalt pavement rehabilitation is the second in a planned multistaged approach towards upgrading Lake Albert Road which has been identified as a priority. Stage 1 of Lake Albert Road was completed in December last year with the section of road between Fay Avenue and Lord Baden Powell Drive Detours will be in place. Access to some residences will be affected at certain stages of the work.
$50,000 for Light Horse statue The legendary Light Horse mounted infantry brigade which has century-old ties to Wagga Wagga and the Riverina will be honoured with a memorial in one of the city’s most popular recreational areas. A life-sized statue depicting a trooper and his mount in a controlled gallop will be erected in the Victory Memorial Gardens precinct after Wagga City Council approved the project at its 11 November Ordinary Meeting. Council also agreed to support the project with a $50,000 grant sourced from the Community Works Reserve, kick-starting fundraising efforts towards an estimated $170,000 to $240,000 needed to complete the project over the next three years. Council will also assist the committee to identify other grant funding sources for the project. “It’s a fantastic project which
will have great meaning and significance to our local community in Wagga, as well as the wider Riverina region,” Council’s Strategic Asset Planner Ben Creighton said. “There’s some amazing stories about local lads who joined up to fight in the First World War and many of those were attached to the Light Horse Regiment (LHR). “It’s a strong part of our country’s history and Wagga residents have played a major part in that across various wars and conflicts. The Light Horse was involved in many battles and the local committee driving this project want the monument to represent all of those moments in history.” The region’s links to the Light Horse date back to 1889 with the Murrumbidgee Light Horse in Wagga. At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 many
local men answered the call for King and Country and joined the 1st, 6th and 12th LHR. These regiments served at Gallipoli (dismounted), in the Sinai and Palestine campaign, and the Western Front. Council heard an address from Dr Anne Flood, who has researched the history of many local soldiers, and also Patrick Leary, the President Light Horse Memorial Committee, in support of the memorial. “We want something that will be authentic and represent every battle the Light Horse was involved in,” Mr Leary said. The project is expected to take three years from fundraising to fruition. The statue is proposed to be cast in bronze and stand on a sandstone plinth, be 180cm high and approx. 230cm in length.

FRIENDS OF THE GARDENS' DONATION TO HELP ZOO CREW
ZOOM ZOOM: The Friends of the Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens representatives Irene (front left) and Bill Toal (centre) handed over the new electric utility vehicle to Wagga Wagga City Council’s Mayor Cr Greg Conkey OAM, Louis Reid, Kira McBeath and Director Corporate Services Natalie Te Pohe this week.
U LT R A S O U N D T R I A L C O N T I N U E S AT L A K E A L B E R T The ultrasound units (pictured) will remain in Lake Albert for another 16 months after Wagga Wagga City Councillors resolved to extend the trial utilising the system. The ultrasound technology was installed to keep amounts of cyanobacteria, more commonly known as blue-green algae, within safe levels. Manager Project Delivery Rupesh Shah said nine solar powered Envirosonic units, installed on five pontoons anchored to the bottom of the lake, disperse sound waves at specific frequencies which have been shown to control algae growth. After evaluating various options, Wagga Wagga City Council initiated a 12-month trial of the ultrasound technology on 17 December 2018 to determine if the pilot project could assist in controlling algae growth. “Early tests were very promising and indicated that blue-green algae levels were decreasing,” Mr Shah said.
Visitors to Wagga Wagga’s Botanic Gardens Zoo and Aviary have contributed greatly to the purchase of a new electric utility vehicle to assist Council staff in their daily duties looking after the birds and animals. Generous donations by the public who visit the popular recreation area have been collected by The Friends of the Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens group over a number of years. The group worked closely with Council staff to come up with ideas on how to best spend the money to the benefit of the gardens, which is one
of the most utilised parks in the city. A electric utility vehicle valued at almost $14,000 was recently presented to Council by Friends of the Gardens’ members Bill and Irene Toal. The Toals’ grandson Louis Reid, who works with Council as a horticulturalist, was also present at the car’s handover. “It’s fantastic to have another asset such as this electric utility to use around the gardens and especially in the zoo,” Council’s Manager Parks and Strategic Operations Henry Pavitt said. “It is so quiet and
does not spook the animals. It’s a handy vehicle to use at feeding times and because of its size, it allows us a lot more vehicular access to certain areas. "It can also reduce a number of manual processes and therefore reduces the potential for injuries. “We want to recognise the work the Friends of the Gardens group contribute to this great area within the city, and also the generous donations from visitors who have contributed to this by dropping their coins into the donation boxes. It is all greatly appreciated.”
weekly MOWING
R E P O R T
To reduce the risk of fires damaging or destroying life, property and the environment, the New South Wales Rural Fire Service chose to impose temporary total fire bans on various days over the past week.
“However, one strain (Microsystis) could not be consistently controlled within the ‘Green’ alert level. “The algae blooms have been less visible than previous years, however this may be due to many factors, including the ultrasound units.” Mr Shah said it is important to understand that algae levels will rise and fall depending on nutrient loads in the storm water runoff into the lake and weather conditions.
“There are lot of variables and there is a need to measure the performance over longer periods with more data for accurate validation,” he said. “Ultrasound is still a relatively new technology for controlling algae growth in Australia and around the world.” Regular testing and performance monitoring will be carried out over the next 16 months, before Council receives a new report into the findings.
ULTIMATE PLAYGROUND AT GOBBAGOMBALIN Basketball and BMX, or maybe a flying fox and fitness stations – no matter your favourite leisure time activity, Wagga City Council has got it covered in plans for the new Gobbagombalin Parklands. Council has released its final plan for the 4.7-hectare parklands development after extensive community engagement over 12 months which helped develop a vision for a fun space to explore and enjoy. “The community told us what they would like to see in their park and we’ve developed a plan to reflect that feedback,” Council Strategic Asset Planner Ben Creighton said. “It’s a large space to develop and what we have planned has been well received across the community who can’t wait for this project to get underway.” Mr Creighton said the $500,000 development has been funded over the next two financial years and has been prioritised to meet community requests and available budget. Work on Stage 1 is expected start before the end of this year. “This is going to be a family-friendly space,” Mr Creighton said. “The basketball court, flying fox and BMX track were popular inclusions along with the fenced offleash dog park.” The two stages of construction across two financial years are:
2019-2020
• Construction of three shelters with a table setting • Install eleven bench seats located along the pathway • Construct a single cubicle toilet near the existing BBQ shelter and playground • Construct a 10m x10m basketball court near the existing BBQ shelter • Install a water bubbler next to the existing BBQ shelter • Construct new sections of path where required to complete a circuit around and through the parklands • Plant clumps of native trees (similar to what is currently in the park) • Improve the existing irrigation system • Install additional parking bay stops.
2020-2021
• Plant advanced deciduous trees around the perimeter of the parkland • Install combination (soccer/rugby) goal posts • Install a double flying fox/cableway • Install four fitness stations around the path circuit • Install rubber softfall under sections of the playground (swing set, carousel, and slide exits) • Install a shade sail over the existing playground • Construct a dog off-leash area • Construct an asphalt sealed BMX bike track.

UPGRADE TO LIGHT UP ART GALLERY
A much-needed upgrade to the ageing lighting system inside the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery is illuminating a bright new future for the city’s cultural centrepiece. The 20-year-old system, installed when the gallery was initially built, has meant some travelling collections have been unable to come the Riverina, denying the region’s art enthusiasts access to premier exhibits. “Unfortunately, there were a handful of exhibitions that could not bring certain artworks to the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery out of fear the old lighting system would potentially damage the pieces in their collection with ultraviolet light,” Council’s Project Manager Thomas Lemerle said. “This major lighting upgrade means the gallery will now meet the stringent requirements needed to host those travelling exhibitions down the track.” The exciting upgrade will involve the installation of new LED lighting, purchased and imported from Germany, across both the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, National Art Glass Gallery, Historic Council Chambers and Wagga Wagga City Library. It’s all part of the overall Civic Centre LED Lighting Upgrade, one of five Energy Saving Projects funded
through Wagga Wagga City Council’s $1.7M commitment to a greener future. “Implementing a standardised, LED lighting system across all of Council’s cultural assets will not only result in a major reduction in energy usage and significant cost savings, but also offer enormous operational benefits,” Mr Lemerle said. “This new system is extremely flexible and will require far less maintenance. Fittings won’t need to be replaced as often.” Mr Lemerle believes the premier lighting system will greatly enhance the library and galleries’ ambience, improving the experience for its many visitors. “The new lighting will be much brighter, and offer exhibition curators much more versatility,” Mr Lemerle said. “Curators will have so many more options to explore when setting up their exhibitions.” All of the new lighting is now installed in the Art and Glass Galleries. The final materials are expected to arrive from Germany before the end of the week, with the project on track for completion before the end of calendar year.
