Oasis Regional Aquatic Centre’s Aquatics Supervisor Taileigh King said around 30 youngsters, aged between seven and 13 years old, took part in the 2022 program. “The weekly sessions were held at Wagga Wagga Beach, where the kids were instructed in various Wagga Wagga City Council activities focused on safety and Royal Life Saving NSW at the Murrumbidgee River, (RLSNSW) again partnered in a fun team environment,” for the initiative, which gives Ms King said. participants the chance to “This ranged from life learn lifesaving water safety jacket sequences, rescue skills at pools and inland
board skills, and first aid and resuscitation skills, to teaching them about how to detect hazards in the water, how fast the river’s flowing and its depth. “With the conditions that we had this season due to the changing river heights, it actually presented us with more opportunities to teach them about these important water safety skills. “Rivers present a number of challenges and educating our younger community members is one way to enhance water safety.” RLSNSW Lifesaving Participation Coordinator Georgina Ryan said Royal Life Saving is very proud of the success of Outback
Lifesavers Wagga 2022. “It was a pleasure to come down to the program, meet the parents, and see the children’s lifesaving skills in action,” Ms Ryan said. “We believe it is very important to continue to develop these programs in regional communities because of the dangers that inland waterways can present. “We are thankful to Wagga Wagga City Council and Oasis Aquatic Centre for partnering with us to make this possible.” Council is already speaking to Royal Life Saving NSW about planning for the 2023 summer program.

Take a spin on the new shared pathway around Lake Albert The Lake Albert link of Wagga Wagga City Council’s Active Travel Plan is now complete and already proving popular with locals and visitors. The new shared pathway which circumnavigates Lake Albert is part of a 56-kilometre network that will link the outlying suburbs with the city centre and two End of Trip facilities. Wagga Wagga City Council Project Manager Srivalli Miah said the pathway provides a sustainable transport option. “The new path network encourages people away from cars and towards riding or walking,” Ms Miah said. “Residents now have easier
access to schools and the local shopping centre at Lake Village. “Instead of children travelling to school on buses or in cars they can choose to ride or walk via the linked pathways on Nelson Drive, Ontario Drive and Plunkett Drive.” The Lake Albert link is attracting people from all over the city and beyond, keen to take a walk, ride or run around the lake amidst the beautiful native flora and fauna. Ms Miah said this kind of infrastructure promotes healthy lifestyles and provides important links between suburbs. “Council has widened the existing path to 2.5 metres and
constructed new paths to link off roads,” Ms Miah said. “Line marking and the installation of signage is also complete. “A new pedestrian refuge island on Main Street makes it safer for people crossing the busy road, especially those with prams and small children, or on mobility scooters.” The Active Travel Plan project is jointly funded by the NSW Government and Wagga Wagga City Council. Read more about the project and find out where the Active Travel Plan connects with your suburb at wagga.nsw.gov. au/projects and go to the Wagga Wagga Active Travel Plan page.
Shared pathway etiquette • Pedestrians have right of way – this includes motorised wheelchair users and mobility scooters. • Cyclists must use their bell to alert other path users that a bicycle is approaching.
• Pedestrians need to remain aware of their surroundings and other path users. • All shared path users are to keep to the left. • Keep moving – if you need to stop, please move off the path if possible.
• Be prepared to give way at shared intersections. • Dogs must be kept on a leash. • Animals and children on footpaths can be unpredictable. Slow down and cycle to the conditions.
Free seedlings: get your orders in for Schools Tree Day Local schools and preschools are being encouraged to get their order in for free seedlings ahead of Planet Ark’s Schools Tree Day later this year. Wagga Wagga City Council donated over 2500 seedlings to local schools and preschools for the 2021 Schools Tree Day and Environmental Education Officer Alice Kent is hoping for a similar result this year. “We haven’t had as many orders as we were expecting, so we’re encouraging teachers, school administrators, anyone within the school family to get in touch and get their school’s order in,” Ms Kent said. “We need to receive your order by Tuesday 22 March so we can get your seedlings in time for Schools Tree Day at the end of July.”

they’re planting for their school’s future and the students that will follow. “I think it’s great for kids’ selfesteem to be able to look at a tree or a group of shrubs on their school grounds and say, ‘I planted that.’” The seedlings available for order are all Australian natives suited to our local conditions, and come in a range of heights, from ground covers to small shrubs, medium shrubs and trees, and large trees. “Schools can select the species they want from a list or just select by height, and we’ll select the species for you,” Ms Kent said. “All forms of vegetation are important as they provide habitat for various kinds of animals and birds. “We’ve had a wetter summer so it’s perfect planting conditions at the moment; the ground should be fairly moist which will give the seedlings a really good start.” Seedlings planted on Schools Tree Day will contribute to Council’s One Tree for Me target of 65,000 seedlings planted in our local area within six years – one seedling for every resident.

Results from Council’s recent Urban Tree Cover Survey showed 91 per cent of respondents agreed there are not enough trees in Wagga Wagga. Ms Kent said taking part in Schools Tree Day gave schools an opportunity to contribute to the city’s urban canopy. “Added together, schools manage a large area of land within our city, so the more vegetation there is on school grounds the better for our region’s biodiversity and our community as a whole,” Ms Kent said. “Planting more trees, shrubs and groundcovers at schools will help create a cooler environment for students as well as provide habitat for birds and insects.” Ms Kent said that being outside and connecting with nature is also good for students’ mental health. “Getting into the fresh air with their classmates and getting their hands dirty is always fun for kids, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for students to learn about their local environment and be proactive in supporting it,” Ms Kent said. “It’s always exciting for kids to see what they plant grow, watch the flowers bloom, and see bees come and visit. And the seedlings they plant now will be in their school for many years to come, so

Acquisition of former ambulance station moves a step closer From front page “It could be a mix of local business support and act as a business events venue, but it would also build on and facilitate further development of the cultural and creative arts industry here in Wagga Wagga and surrounds,” Mr Keys said. “It is an important asset and Council is pleased to be able to take stewardship of that connection to our city’s history and give this heritage building in the heart of our city a new lease on life by using it for community and not-for-
occupation, with the primary focus on the ground floor. The building has stood empty since it closed in 2016 following the completion of the new station in Fernleigh Road. “It does need a little bit of work, so we’ll be painting the lower level and putting in carpet, as well as ensuring the services are upgraded and safe for use,” Mr Keys said. “The bare bones and fabric of the building really are a testament to the way it was constructed, and those
profit purposes. “We are planning to go to market next week to call for Expressions of Interest to occupy and use the premises, with the initial offer for a 12-month licence to trial the new facility.” A report will go to the next meeting of Council for endorsement, with the Expressions of Interest (EOI) period set to run from Wednesday 23 March until Thursday 14 April 2022. In the interim, Council is planning to start work on bringing the building up to a suitable standard, ready for
heritage characteristics remain, so we hope to facilitate a new community use and reactivate the site. “At this point, it doesn’t really have accessibility to all floors, and we would like to address that, but that is going to require a substantial investment in future stages.” The announcement of the agreement and EOI process brings to fruition extended discussions and negotiations with the government. “Although Council sought the return of the building
to the local community for a peppercorn fee we are grateful that the NSW Government recognised the significance and value of the site to the community and negotiated the purchase directly with Council,” Mr Keys said. Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Dallas Tout said it is exciting to see this important project take the next step. “This is a significant building both in terms of its heritage and architectural significance, as well as its connection to the
community of Wagga Wagga,” Cr Tout said. “The original building was constructed through community donations and then gifted to the NSW Ambulance Service more than 90 years ago. “It is wonderful to see it in a sense returning to the community and I look forward to seeing the visions for this building’s future become a reality.” More information about the Expression of Interest process will be released next week.

The Marrambidya Wetland Master Plan Community Survey is open until 5pm on Thursday 31 March 2022 at connect.wagga.nsw.gov.au/wetland
Final weeks: Marrambidya Wetland Master Plan Survey Community members have two weeks left to let Council know what changes they would like to see at Marrambidya Wetland, the 20-hectare reserve located minutes from our city centre. The Marrambidya Wetland Master Plan Community Survey is open until 5pm on Thursday 31 March 2022. Environmental Management Team Leader Tony Phelps said feedback received from the survey would help Council develop a ten-year master plan for the area. “We want to make sure that we manage the wetland in accordance with both the area’s environmental needs as well as community expectations,” Mr Phelps said. “The survey responses will let us know what people enjoy about the wetland, what they’d like to see, such as more or less signage for example, and what they would like us to focus on. “These responses will all feed into the master plan, which will act as a guide for us, helping to identify priorities and any potential improvements we can make over the next decade.” Popular with nature lovers and an ideal place for an early-morning jog or evening stroll, the wetland is also culturally significant, acting as a meeting
place for local First Nations peoples. Situated beside the Murrumbidgee River and linking up with the Wiradjuri Trail, there are multiple reasons to visit the wetland. Mr Phelps is hoping the survey will help Council discover the most popular reasons. “We’d like to better understand what motivates people to visit,” Mr Phelps said. “Are they practicing or learning about Wiradjuri culture, part of a guided tour, or just going to be amongst nature and observe the animals? “We’re also hoping to understand how well we’re communicating certain requirements, for example assessing how many people know that dogs need to be on a leash at the wetland to protect the wildlife. “Every response will help us get a better picture, and we really appreciate the time people are taking to answer the survey. “The wetland is a special place for our community, and Council is dedicated to keeping it healthy, beautiful and welcoming for future generations to enjoy.” Take the survey at connect.wagga.nsw.gov.au/ wetland

Refresh and renewal! Anderson Oval’s amenities undergo an upgrade Work is about to get underway on a project to upgrade the amenities at Anderson Oval, a junior sportsground located in Mount Austin. The refurbishment is part of Wagga Wagga City Council’s Renewal of Community Amenities program included in the long-term financial plan. Council’s Facilities Management Coordinator Luke Fitzgerald said the project aims to boost the level of service to the community by improving the safety and hygiene of the facility, which was built in the early 1980s. “We will be refurbishing the existing public toilets and two change rooms within the amenities block, installing new tiling and fittings, as well as adding an accessible toilet to the facility,” Mr Fitzgerald said. “We will also be installing two accessible off-street carparking spaces on the Glenfield Road side of the oval, and a connecting pathway to the building. It is important that these facilities are available for people of all abilities to use. “Security will also be upgraded with the installation
of CCTV and access door control to assist in the protection and maintenance of Council facilities in the long term.” Swipe cards to access the toilets and changerooms will be issued to the various sporting groups which use the oval on a regular basis. Anderson Oval is primarily used for AFL and cricket competition matches and training, and there is also a netball court which is used for matches and training. Fencing was installed around the building earlier this week in preparation for the start of construction works. “Access to the building will be restricted while the upgrade is underway, but we have provided temporary toilet demountable facilities for the user groups,” Mr Fitzgerald said. “While we understand this may cause some inconvenience for the sporting groups and residents who use the facilities, the project will deliver a muchimproved and safer facility for everyone.” The project is expected to take approximately 14 weeks to complete.
READY TO START: (from left) Council’s General Maintenance Carpenter Terry Posselt and Facilities Management Coordinator Luke Fitzgerald inspect plans for the upgrade of the Anderson Oval amenities building.

Get involved in local decisions
Small business representatives from across the city gathered together this week to celebrate Small Business Month. Wagga Wagga City Council partnered with the Wagga Wagga Business Chamber to secure a Small Business Month Grant from the NSW Government to stage the booked-out event at local business Food I Am. Director Regional Activation Michael Keys said Council was dedicated to supporting small business owners as they recover from the impacts of COVID. “We’re working closely with the Business Chamber and the NSW Government to promote new growth and maximise development opportunities for small business,” Mr Keys said. “We have over 5600 local businesses in our region, and each and every one is an integral part of our city, not just through employment, but also the variety of services that are on offer and support for other businesses to survive and thrive. “Success is catching – each small business that succeeds in Wagga Wagga makes our city more attractive to other business operators who are looking for a prime opportunity to set up or relocate.
“Networking events like today are valuable because we’re stronger as a business community when we support each other and work together. Taking time to share success stories and learn from others stimulates ideas and creates enthusiasm and interest.” Business Manager Serena Hardwick from the Wagga Wagga Business Chamber said it was important to celebrate small business and recognise the contribution they make to our economy and our community. “We know the last two years has been a very difficult and trying time for a lot of businesses,” Ms Hardwick said. “We’ve designed today’s event to get people out for a few hours, surround them with others who have had similar experiences, and give them an opportunity to network over a beautiful lunch. “The fact that this lunch booked out in less than 48 hours is testament to how strong the desire is for collaboration within our small business community.” A line-up of guest speakers at the lunch covered topics including leadership, bringing momentum back to your business, meditation and how to handle disasters.
