COUNCILLOR COLUMN

strategy for Wagga is that car is king.

Everyone knows you need a car to live in Wagga, but should you The integrated need a car for every transport strategy trip? has garnered lots of The focus on cars attention recently and ultimately leads to a there has been lots of focus on parking, but commentary, with some we need to broaden unfortunately dismissing the conversation to it completely. discuss access instead.

Currently the transport Discussing access

means discussing public transport, bikes, and footpaths.

This broader conversation should not be silenced due to the controversial ideas in the report, nor can we just focus on the issues that are the responsibilities of the State Government, namely the Gobba bridge duplication.

Other elements in the report discuss creating pedestrian infrastructure to encourage walking.

This links strongly to a motion that was passed that I put forward a number of months ago about connecting and improving our footpath network.

The report also explores the use

councillor.hayes@wagga.nsw.gov.au of cycle ways to connect the city to the surrounding suburbs, not just for bike enthusiasts, but for casual riders. There are also ideas about how Council can use land zoning to promote medium density living along arterial roads of Wagga to create efficient and effective bus routes.

This report was sold as a panacea for any and all transport woes, which was wrong, but it does raise ideas about what Wagga’s transport should look like in the coming decades. It challenges us to also not make short-term decisions that are contrary to a long-term vision.

The strategy that

is finally decided on needs your input and ideas, this does not stop because the public exhibition period ends. This is an important and exciting discussion that we need to get right.

DE S IGN T E NDE R S C A L L E D F OR E UNON Y BRIDGE RE P L A CE ME N T P RO JE C T The first stage of the Eunony Bridge Hub program is out to tender.

The City of Wagga Wagga has advertised for suitable tenderers to make submissions for the detailed design component of the bridge program.

The request for tender is the first step in allowing Higher Mass Limit (HML) vehicles to cross the Murrumbidgee River at Eunony Bridge Road.

The City of Wagga Wagga has secured $9.8M in state and federal funding to build a replacement bridge.

The new bridge is a key piece of infrastructure for the Wagga Wagga High Productivity Freight Route, which will provide better access to the Bomen Industrial Park and connections to the Olympic Highway.

Heavy vehicle traffic will also be reduced in the Wagga Wagga CBD area and has the potential to save up to 36 minutes, or 21 kilometres, on a roundtrip.

Currently heavy vehicles

make up 17 per cent of all vehicle movements across the bridge. By 2025, once the replacement bridge and productivity freight route are complete, heavy vehicle traffic crossing the bridge is expected to reach 45 per cent.

“The City of Wagga Wagga is investing heavily in infrastructure that provides better access to the industrial area at Bomen and capitalises on the city’s excellent location and access to capital cities via road and rail,” Commercial Sector Manager Caroline Angel said.

“Combined, the Eunony Bridge Road Deviation, the new Eunony Bridge, Bomen Enabling Roads and the proposed RiFL Hub, stand to have huge economic benefits for the city.”

The Federal Government, through the Bridges Renewal Programme, and the NSW Government, through its Fixing Country Roads fund, have both committed $4.9M towards the Eunony Bridge Hub project.

BACKGROUND AND BENEFITS OF THE EUNONY BRIDGE HUB PROJECT

• The existing Eunony Bridge is 40 years old and allows a General Mass Limit of 62.5 tonnes, however is not capable of carrying Higher Mass Limit (HML) vehicles • Engineering reports on the existing bridge recommend that it is not feasible to upgrade the existing bridge due to various bridge elements • The replacement bridge will be built

C I T Y S TA F F T O WO R K W I T H PRO PE R T Y OW N E R S T O R E CO U P U N PA I D R AT E S The City of Wagga Wagga will continue to work with property owners as it tries to recoup more than a quarter of a million dollars in unpaid rates.

Under NSW Government legislation, councils have the ability to sell properties with outstanding rates balances of more than five years.

A report will be considered at the March 27 Ordinary Council Meeting to begin the land sale process, however, the City is hopeful that property owners will work with staff and come to an agreement that is in the best interest of all parties moving forward.

“The City of Wagga Wagga can only wear the financial burden for so long before it has an impact on other ratepayers and residents,” the City’s Chief Financial Officer Natalie Te Pohe said.

“The sale process is a last resort and we would much prefer the property owners contact the City to discuss and negotiate an agreed payment plan.”

Including more than $254,000 in unpaid rates balances of more than five years, there is a total of $4.5M outstanding rates from 4617 properties in the Local Government Area.

When are rates instalments due?

Rates are due on a quarterly basis - payable 31 August, 30 November, 28 February and 31 May of each year.

What options are there to pay my rates account?

Bpay, direct debit (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly), direct from Centrelink pensions, in person at the Civic Centre (cheque, cash, credit/ debit card), by posting a cheque, and a number of options online at wagga.nsw.gov.au.

I am experiencing financial hardship, does the City of Wagga Wagga offer payment arrangements?

Yes – if ratepayers contact the City we can discuss a reasonable payment arrangement that is agreed on by both the ratepayer and the City. As long as the payment arrangement is

“Rates are a core part of the City’s budget and make many projects and services possible such as road works, parks, vital maintenance and facilities such as the library,” she said.

“Unpaid rates also create a cash flow problem. In terms of a household budget, unpaid rates are the equivalent of being paid less than you expected and then still needing to pay your rent or mortgage and other bills on time.”

Residents can contact the City’s rates department to discuss their account on 1300 292 442.

adhered to, no further legal or court costs will be added to your account. Financial hardship does not mean land rates will be written off.

If I don’t pay my rates, what will happen?

Legal, court and interest costs will be added to your account. The City can implement a salary or bank garnishee and has the ability under the Local Government Act to impose a requirement that rental income is paid directly to the City.

In the most extreme instances, the City can sell your property where the debt exceeds a certain amount and length of time.

How do I contact the City of Wagga Wagga to discuss my outstanding rates?

Please call the City’s rates department on 1300 292 442 to discuss your outstanding rates, or visit the Civic Centre at the corner of Baylis and Morrow streets.

RECYCLE: Recycling champions (from left) Xander, Shivali, Bella, Ellen and Sophie are helping encourage recycling at Jubilee Park to reduce waste to landfill. Currently 60 per cent of the rubbish at the sportsground could be recovered or recycled.

A 'wheelie' important message from Jubilee Park litter legends A different kind of champion can now be found at Jubilee Park as part of a new initiative to reduce waste to landfill.

Twenty-four recycling and 12 garbage wheelie bins with special bin lids and signage have been unveiled at the sportsground this week, with five young athletes featuring as the faces of the campaign.

The champions regularly use Jubilee Park and it’s hoped they will encourage their fellow good sports to do the right thing and select the right bin.

“More than 60 per cent of the rubbish from Jubilee Park could be recovered and recycled,” City of Wagga Wagga Environmental Education Officer Alice Kent said.

“The majority of the waste was

bottles and cans, so this project will help Jubilee Park user groups keep that waste out of landfill.

“If this project is successful, there is the potential to roll it out at other sporting facilities.”

The project was made possible through $12,780 funding from the Keep Australia Beautiful Beverage Container Recycling Community Grant program.

PL AYGROUNDS A ND PA RK S UP GR A DE S IN F UL L S WING Nine park areas from Estella to Forest Hill, Lloyd and Ashmont are receiving facelifts, ranging from new play equipment to concrete courts, barbecues and picnic areas.

Residents in each suburb helped pick the playgrounds and upgrades for each park area through the City of Wagga Wagga’s online playground consultation.

All projects are also in line with the City of Wagga Wagga’s Playground Strategy, which was adopted last year and guides all aspects of playground management in the city for the next 20 years.

Lloyd residents are the latest residents being asked to help design a new play space for their suburb. Residents are asked to jump online to nominate their favourite piece of play equipment they would like to see incorporated in the new Lingiari Drive park. This could be anything from swings to see-saws, a slide, climbing nets or natural play items.

Residents can share ideas at www. wagga.nsw.gov.au/playgrounds

“This year’s activities range from animation workshops to yoga as well as a hip hop workshop and Aussie rules clinics for kids from Indigenous and multicultural backgrounds.”

Rounding out the Youth Week celebrations are an electronic music workshop with Saca La Mois DJ (aka Moses Iten) and hip hop/lyrics workshop with winner of the 2014 National Indigenous Music Award through Triple J’s Unearthed, Philly.

The pair will combine for a free Youth Week concert on 8 April at the Botanic Gardens Music Bowl.

For the full program of events, visit wagga.nsw.gov.au/ youthweek.

The City of Wagga Wagga would like to thank the supporting community organisations and businesses in collaborating to assist in delivering these events: Mission Australia, headspace, Eastern Riverina Arts, NRMA, Riverina Community College, AFL and the Multicultural Council of Wagga Wagga.

From making music to driver safety, the 2017 Youth Week celebrations are as diverse as the community’s young people.

Youth Week will take place from 29 March to 9 April, with this year’s theme being “Get Involved, Be Heard, Make a Difference”.

With more than a fifth of Wagga’s population aged between 12 and 25 years, the City of Wagga Wagga’s Community Sector Manager Janice Summerhayes said Youth Week was an important event in the Local Government Area.

“Youth Week provides our community’s young people with an opportunity to take part in inclusive activities and events that embody and celebrate their diverse interests, skills and talents,” she said.

“Through education, sport, music, art and other forms of performance, volunteering, community and politics, young people are making their mark on our community.

A S B E S T O S S A F E LY R E M O V E D Asbestos material found at Forest Hill Oval last week has been safely removed from the site.

Licensed asbestos removal contractors worked to remove and dispose of the material, which was contained within building rubble.

Contractors working on behalf of City of Wagga Wagga made the

discovery at Forest Hill Oval, corner of Elizabeth and Dunn avenues, one week ago while carrying out excavation works as part of an upgrade at the park.

A clearance certificate has been issued which will allow the park upgrade works at the oval to continue.

Local high school student Angus McKelvie-Hill is heading to Sydney next week to compete in the Class Clowns NSW final.

Angus was the winner of the first-ever Class Clowns Heat held in Wagga at the Civic Theatre on 16 March.

Class Clowns is a oneof-a-kind competition

open to students in years 9 to 12 around the country.

Professional comedian Josh Earl held a workshop with the competitors before the heat, giving them some tips and tricks on how to refine their material for maximum impact.

The master class reaped dividends for

Angus, who was named the winner by judges Peter Casey, Adam Drummond and Sarah Navin.

If Angus takes out the NSW final he will compete in the national grand final, which will be held at Melbourne Town Hall as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

There has been strong interest in the concept for a northern sporting precinct with around 60 residents attending a drop in session in Estella this week and 25 responses in the online forum.

A partnership between the City of Wagga Wagga and Charles Sturt University could see the community facility developed on CSU land adjacent to the existing Peter Hastie Oval.

There is still time to share your thoughts and ideas on the concept with the online forum open until Friday 31 March: wagga.nsw.gov.au/ peoplespanel The need to develop a suburban playground, park and sporting facilities, public amenities and connecting infrastructure in the northern suburbs has been identified in the draft Recreation, Open Space and Community Strategy.

LEVEE TENDER PROCESS PROGRESSING A site meeting for Stage 1 of the Main City Levee Upgrade project was well attended by prospective tenderers last week.

discuss key features, including location and incorporation of existing services and public access, such as the Wiradjuri Walking Track.

Stage 1 of the upgrade comprises of two sections, from Flowerdale to Wiradjuri Bridge, and, Copland/

Kooringal roundabout to Kooringal Road cemetery (east side of Kooringal Road).
