PROGRESS IN EUNONY BRIDGE UPGRADE WORKS Work on the $10.6M upgrade of Wagga Wagga’s Eunony Bridge is underway with the first section of top deck being removed. The large crane towering over the work site has been operational and lifting the first of five sections to be replaced in the widening and strengthening of the bridge. See full story Page 4

Keep the wipes out of the pipes The current toilet paper shortage has prompted Wagga Wagga City Council to ensure the community is aware of the damage that flushing foreign material down toilets will cause to the sewer system. Council is running a public campaign to better educate the community about what can and cannot be sent down the toilet and is encouraging everybody to share this
knowledge with their family and friends. Council Director Commercial Operations Caroline Angel stressed the importance of “doing the right thing” was imperative in this current situation of low toilet paper supplies. “Flushing wipes and other foreign material can cause very serious problems for the city’s sewer system,” Ms Angel said. “A blocked sewer at your house is not something you want to experience. It can be costly, not to mention extremely messy. “Please be conscious of this and only flush toilet paper. Keep your flushing to the three Ps … pee, poo and paper.” Ms Angel stressed that marketed “flushable wipes” cannot be flushed. “They do not break down … they will clog
the system,” she said. “We want to avoid pipe blockages, clogged pumps and the creation of ‘fatbergs’. This happens when fats get caught in the wipes and they just keep growing like a snowball. “These fatbergs are extremely damaging and quite disgusting for those tasked with clearing them from the pipes.” Ms Angel said the continued practice of flushing wipes down the toilet could potentially bring the entire system to a standstill. Should this happen, there is also the potential for significant health impacts on the community. “We definitely don’t want that to happen. Please listen to the advice and be responsible,” Ms Angel said.
Weekly waste tip If you’ve run out of toilet paper and are using alternatives, please bag them up and put them in the red bin.
Please DO NOT flush them down the toilet.
Council spends considerable budget every year to physically remove wet wipes and other materials from the system. One of Council’s core responsibilities is to continue to provide these services and ensure the community has access to a reliable wastewater network, Ms Angel said. Residents are also encouraged not to dispose of fats, oils and greases - or any other food scraps and waste - down the sink. Place it in the red lid bin instead. Some of the products which should not go down the toilet are: facial tissues, make-up wipes, baby wipe, cleaning wipes, nappies, female sanitary products, condoms, cigarette butts, cotton buds, dental floss, hair and unwanted medication.

they are located, to support and use regional produce, goods and services available within the regional communities.” The draft Regional Procurement Preference Policy highlights that regional preference is not a price benefit. Rather, it is a quantitative measurement that can be utilised in recognition of the physical presence of the supplier in the Riverina Joint Organisation Area, as well as the demonstrated and/or actual accompanying social and economic benefits that this provides to Council and the regional community. Council was planning to hold workshops to not only gain feedback on the policy, but also to assist businesses in submitting tenders and quotations for works, but these will be postponed given the current concerns regarding coronavirus. “When the situation changes we want to inform regional businesses about how they can become
suppliers for Council, and we will be assisting businesses as much as we can in completing the processes associated with this,” Mrs Te Pohe said. The next phase will see Council implement a new electronic procurement system that will change the way businesses currently provide a submission for Council works. There will be greater emphasis on educating businesses on how to register for notification when tenders and quotation opportunities become available, and how to complete the submission through Council’s new portal. This will enable all businesses to have more accessibility in providing goods and services across the Regional Joint Organisation Area, Mrs Te Pohe said. The intent is not to detract suppliers from submitting tenders and quotations for works to Council, but to encourage all suppliers to support regional areas in ways that may provide social
or economic benefits. “Providing a good submission is important to being successful. Council understands the submission process can be challenging so we encourage all businesses to attend these workshops when they are rescheduled. In the meantime, new business opportunities will be promoted through Council News on a monthly basis. This is just another step in promoting transparency and ensuring that businesses are aware of the opportunities available,” Mrs Te Pohe said. “Council recognises that through supporting regional businesses it can assist in economic sustainability that will flow to social benefits across regional communities.” Community members are encouraged to provide a public submission prior to 2 May through Council’s online portal at connect.wagga.nsw. gov.au

At this week’s Ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to place a draft Regional Procurement Preference Policy on public exhibition and will seek feedback from key stakeholders and community members over the coming weeks. Corporate Services Director Natalie Te Pohe said the new policy would realise the best opportunities for regional businesses to work with Council and benefit the community. “The purpose of this policy is to encourage and support regional businesses and support economic activity within the region, where it is efficient to do so, while achieving Council’s overall ‘value for money’ objectives,” Mrs Te Pohe said. “It also encourages all businesses, irrespective of where

Wagga Wagga City Council and Canberra Raiders have committed to a National Rugby League match in the city next year after this week confirming the 18 April 2020 fixture will not go ahead in Wagga. Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Greg Conkey OAM confirmed a decision on the future of the Round 6 game against Newcastle Knights in Wagga had to be made to assist with planning and logistics amid the management of the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) situation. “There’s no doubt calling off the game in Wagga is disappointing for all concerned, but the decision has been made in line with advice from government and health authorities and in the best interests of the community,” Cr Conkey said. “The good news is that we can look forward to Canberra Raiders playing in Wagga Wagga again next year. “Council has been in discussions with the Raiders and the NRL and our partnership will roll into 2021 which means the Green Machine will be back in Wagga … that has been locked in.” Canberra Raiders’ Chief Executive Officer Don Furner confirmed a game in Wagga next season was in the diary. “I have spoken to both the ACT Government and the NRL and they are both supportive of this decision,” Mr Furner said. “At this stage the match will

The Raiders will be back in 2021 after the Wagga game scheduled for 18 April this year was transferred back to GIO Stadium. be transferred to GIO Stadium for the same day and time and whether that will be in front of spectators or behind closed doors, remains to be seen.” Mr Furner said he could not confirm at this early stage a date or opponent for the 2020 game at McDonald’s Park. “It’s a terrific venue, we see great value in bringing this game to Wagga and we want to continue that partnership we have forged with the city in recent times,” Mr Furner said. Cr Conkey confirmed Council’s ongoing partnership with Canberra Raiders was as strong as ever and the current situation
demonstrated that working relationship. “The Raiders have been fantastic in working with Council staff and keeping them informed every step of the way,” Cr Conkey said. “Their professionalism in this unprecedented situation has been outstanding and Council looks forward to working with the club again next year.” Patrons who have purchased tickets to the round 6 game will be eligible for a refund through ticketek. Ticketek will be in contact with all ticket holders in coming days to let them know the process.

MOVING PICTURES: the Civic Centre precinct is lit each night with archival imagery as part of the city’s 150-year anniversary celebrations.
150 years: projections of Wagga Wagga's past A striking film sequence featuring rare and iconic imagery of Wagga Wagga’s history is lighting the Civic Centre precinct night sky. As part of Wagga Wagga City Council’s 150th anniversary celebrations, the footage entitled Rural Type Exchange is being projected onto the Civic Centre for the next four weeks. Melbourne-based artist Tonya Meyrick worked with students from Kildare Catholic College to source local signage, maps and photographs relating to the city’s history.
“I am very interested in the idea of how social, cultural, industry and economic influences inform our idea of place and also our sense of belonging to a place,” Ms Meyrick said. “For Rural Type Exchange this meant developing my experiences of Wagga Wagga. I have spent time in the city over the past ten years, and I reflected on my own experiences and those of my colleagues and friends in the city.” Combing Wagga’s streets, Ms Meyrick shot more than 5000 images of typeface, which
launched the start of her motion graphic work. “I started to develop an archive of type – literally letterforms from buildings and signs around the city – down streets and lane ways, from buildings, lively playgrounds and bustling areas. Gleaning the type from walls, signs and footpaths led me to develop a nuanced story of Wagga Wagga.” Ms Meyrick added archival material from the Museum of the Riverina, Charles Sturt University Regional Archives and the Wagga Wagga City Library
and was inspired by images of past residents working through challenging times. “Wagga has been through so much as a city and possesses an immensely rich history. It was challenging to ensure these nuanced experiences and events were touched on in a sensitive way,” Ms Meyrick said. Ms Meyrick hopes residents who see the projection come away with a different perspective of their city. “I hope people recognise familiar type artefacts, or catalogues, city
events and experiences – making the connections to what it means to belong, and what Wagga means to them.” Rural Type Exchange was commissioned as part of the City Public Art Plan BrightLights, which focuses on professional artists collaborating with young/ emerging artists to support skills development.

History in the making: 150 year anniversary plaque unveiled in Historic Council Chambers Wagga Wagga’s 150th anniversary of being proclaimed a municipality is now etched in the city’s history. Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Greg Conkey OAM unveiled a special plaque at
Council’s 16 March Ordinary Meeting which was held in the Historic Council Chambers as part of the celebrations. The plaque commemorates the proclamation of Wagga Wagga as a municipality in 1870.
“It is a significant milestone in the history of this great city,” Cr Conkey said. “We have come a long way in 150 years … our city will continue to grow and evolve in time, and that is something future generations will
continue to witness and appreciate in years to come.” The old Chambers are used only on special occasions. The last time for an Ordinary Meeting was in 2007.

These are unprecedented times. This city, this state and this country has never experienced anything like the extreme measures being taken to reduce the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The effects on this city will be extensive. Businesses are suffering a downturn which unfortunately will mean that some people will lose their jobs. It’s inevitable. How long this event will last is anyone’s guess. The good news is that the situation in China is easing and that more
than 70,000 people have recovered from the virus. The bad news is that the situation is getting worse in the “west” and it will take considerable time for things to return to normal. Wagga Wagga City Council was on the front foot early despite contrary advice from the Federal and State Governments.

On Thursday of last week we were still being advised that mass gatherings were acceptable. However, it became apparent to us that this was unacceptable, and to mitigate the health risk and the impact on health services, we decided to call for the cancellation of major events. A few hours later the
Prime Minister made his banning public events announcement. Better late than never. But now we must consider the economic impact on this city. What we need is for common sense to take over. Most people who catch the virus will only suffer minor symptoms. People are still encouraged to take

So green is life – it’s vibrant to them and makes them feel connected. “Participants also said one of the things they enjoy most about Wagga is feeling a real sense of community. For example, with our FUSION Multicultural Street Festival, they could see themselves in the events and activities, and were more engaged.” In other forums, transport was raised as an important factor, as well as understanding how to access services such as Medicare and Centrelink. Once gathered, insights from the forums are used by Council to inform a host of projects, policies and engagement strategies. “We’ve gained some very valuable information about how young people think and feel about the city and what they want for the future,” Ms Jennings said.

The large crane towering over the work site has been operational and lifting the first of five sections to be replaced in the widening and strengthening of the bridge. Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack inspected the project this week and also announced that Round Five of the Bridges Renewal Program is now open. Council’s Director Commercial Operations Caroline Angel said it was promising to see the project progress quickly in the first weeks of the bridge closure. “Our contractors BMD and Delta have made an excellent start on the project,” Ms Angel said. “It’s a positive step in a long process. I’m looking forward to seeing more progress delivered in the weeks ahead. “The Deputy Prime Minister was impressed with the works so far and pleased to get the opportunity to get a visual of how Federal Government funding for the project is being spent.” Council has received $9.8M in Federal and State government funding towards the project. Eunony Bridge will be closed until 1 August 2020, weather permitting.

Wagga Wagga City Council’s ‘Shape Your City’ forums are giving young people the chance to share their vision for the city’s future. Youth Development Officer Vanessa Jennings said the forums provided an invaluable link between Wagga’s youth and Council. “We aim to engage with a diverse range of young people, including those who are newly arrived, and those who have disabilities and barriers,” Ms Jennings said. “We run two forums each year, one for students in high school, and one for people aged over 18 years. They’ve been very successful, with participants telling us they feel valued, heard and respected.” The importance of green spaces was raised at a forum held at the Multicultural Council of Wagga Wagga. “Wagga’s parks and gardens are a key element for young people who have arrived in our city as refugees. They are free and accessible places where people enjoy gathering with their family and friends,” Ms Jennings said.
