Thanks to our local communities Residents of Wagga Wagga and the surrounding villages have faced a series of challenges over the past five years, from drought and bushfires, to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cr Conkey said it was important to recognise and acknowledge the response of so many individuals, organisations and businesses not just to these events, but also for the support they show to the community on a day-to-day basis. “It has been a great privilege and honour to As the official end of his serve in the role of Mayor to term as the Mayor of the this wonderful, caring and City of Wagga Wagga compassionate community,” approaches, Councillor Cr Conkey said. Greg Conkey OAM said he “They have shown wanted to say thank you to compassion in so many ways the community as a whole for particularly in the face of all their tireless efforts. of the challenges that have

arisen over the past few years. “When the chips are down Wagga Wagga people rally, and we’ve had some challenges, but the community has been very supportive and caring for those who were struggling. “When Wagga Wagga residents see a need, they roll up their sleeves and jump in to assist.” During the Black Summer Bushfires of 2019/20, Rural Fire Service crews, SES and Police from across the Wagga Wagga LGA were involved in the emergency response.

Make a donation to our Library’s Christmas Food Appeal Continued from page 1. Last year, members of the public proved as generous as they have always been, donating bags full of nonperishable food items to help local people in need. Manager Library Services Claire Campbell is confident that generosity of spirit will continue this year. “We have an absolutely wonderful community who are really supportive of others who are in need of a helping hand,” Ms Campbell said.

“This initiative started about 25 years ago with people bringing in food instead of having to pay their library fines and in those days, it was called ‘Food for Fines’. “People would save up their fines over the year and come in with bags of goodies because people believed it was a really good way to give something back to the community. “While overdue fines were abolished across the Riverina Regional Library network in 2020

and the fines amnesty was replaced with the Christmas Food Appeal, the donations still rolled in.” The goods donated to this year’s appeal will be handed over to a local charity in the new year for distribution as required in the community. The focus is on donations of items which are nonperishable, and well within their use-by dates. Household staple items are always valued, from canned food, rice and pasta, to breakfast cereal,

flour, baby formula and long-life milk. “It’s not about presents and Christmas lollies, it’s more about what you reach for in your pantry when you realise you should have done a shop this week,” Ms Campbell said. “The start of the new year is often the really hard time for people, particularly families, who have used up their budget providing Christmas presents and food and then face the expense of

getting their kids ready to go back to school. “Having that can of baked beans or tuna and pasta in their pantry gives them something to fall back on to ensure they can put food on the table. “So, when you’re out doing your supermarket shopping put a few extra things in the trolley or see what extra goods you might have in your pantry and then drop them off here at the library.” The 2021 appeal runs until Christmas Eve.

The city became the main evacuation point for residents – and their animals - from the fire affected communities of Tumut, Batlow, Tumbarumba and Adelong. “We greatly appreciate the amazing work done by our first responders and emergency services during the bushfire crisis,” Cr Conkey. “There were also the welfare agencies, government agencies,

volunteer groups, notfor-profit organisations and school communities who provided support, food and clothing for the evacuees. “The whole community rallied, opening their hearts, homes and wallets to assist the large number of people who were affected.” Just a few weeks later, the community faced yet another challenge as the COVID-19 pandemic reached the country.

“I want to thank our health workforce who were on the front line in responding to the pandemic for their hard work, commitment, dedication, positive attitude and professionalism,” Cr Conkey said. “Many others also stepped up to ensure vital services and support continued to be provided during the lock downs and on an ongoing basis. “It has been a phenomenal effort.”

processes impacting on local biodiversity. The document includes measurable actions to be delivered over the next 10 years to protect and enhance biodiversity across the Local Government Area on both private and community land. Environmental Officer Samantha Pascall said all levels of government and the community have an important role to play in preventing any further decline of biodiversity. She said developing Council’s first biodiversity strategy would place biodiversity conservation and natural resource management as a priority across the community. “It was challenging,

yet so rewarding, and now we’re seeing the benefits of the strategy in action across the community,” Ms Pascall said. “There’s a long way to go in achieving our goals, but this award confirms we are on the right track. “I would like to thank everyone who contributed including Council staff, Councillors and of course the community for their amazing feedback which went a long way towards ensuring the strategy was comprehensive and achievable.” The Biodiversity Strategy: Maldhangilanha 20202030 can be viewed online at wagga.nsw. gov.au/biodiversity

Construction starts on Riverside playground

Close to a third of the new playground at the Riverside Stage 2 project has been installed as works on site progress towards other key milestones. The “regionally significant” playground is an adventure zone which has been inspired by parts of Wagga Wagga’s history. It will be a key feature in the $9.93 million Riverside development and was the winning design as selected by community members as part of the consultation process. Council Project Manager Srivalli Miah said the popular design was a clear winner with the community and includes an all-abilities play space. “This playground will be a major drawcard in Wagga Wagga for residents and visitors alike,” Ms Miah said. “Many features have been modelled from Wagga Wagga icons from years past. “Some of those components have been inspired by paddle steamers which once travelled the Murrumbidgee River and also the Wagga Water Whizz slide which was located at the beach precinct. “It includes a mix of standard playground equipment, and also features some bespoke elements, which would be a first for the city, and aims to cater for different ages and abilities.” Ms Miah said construction works continued despite recent adverse weather conditions. “The slab has been poured for the new amenities building and block work has commenced,” Ms Miah said.

“The existing amenities facility at the beach will remain in place, however, the old, dilapidated amenities block which was located on the project site has been demolished. The new amenities are being built in the same location and will include a changing facility.” Ms Miah said work on the footings for the stage construction were in progress alongside grading and trimming on internal roads and shared paths. Kerb construction at the main entrance on Johnston Street is also in progress. Practical completion for Riverside Stage 2 is scheduled for April 2022, weather permitting. The project is being funded by NSW Government’s Restart NSW ($5M), the Federal Government’s Local Roads & Community Infrastructure Fund ($3.08M) and Wagga Wagga City Council ($1.85M). The playground is being funded from the Federal portion of the funding.

RESEARCH PROJECT TO EVALUATE ACTIVE TRAVEL IN WAGGA WAGGA

Wagga Wagga’s new network of shared paths will be the focus of a joint research project to evaluate various impacts the Active Travel Plan (ATP) is having on the local community. Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Greg Conkey OAM welcomed the research initiative, saying the 13 ATP links provide safe options for adults and children to cycle or walk to the CBD, workplaces, schools and educational institutions, and other key destinations. Cr Conkey said the project encourages the community to use non-motorised transport and promotes a healthy lifestyle to a more active community with a reduced reliance on cars. “One of the great benefits of the project is a more active community leading to improved health outcomes,” Cr Conkey said. “It enhances the liveability of the city and makes Wagga Wagga a better place to live, work and play. “It also has the potential to attract new visitors to the city for sporting and recreational opportunities and reduces barriers to participation in cycling with increased safety.” The two-year research study is a partnership between the Prevention Research Collaboration Sydney School of

Public Health at the University of Sydney, Wagga Wagga City Council, Transport for NSW, iMOVE and Murrumbidgee Local Health District. Council’s Strategic Asset Planner Ben Creighton said the benefits of the infrastructure in improving activity levels in the community and city interconnectedness will be measured and feedback from residents and visitors is important. “The research project is designed to assess a number of impacts and outcomes on the community and we are keen to hear your views and learn about your experiences in using the shared path network,” Mr Creighton said. “These include community awareness of the walking and cycling links and their use, who is using the links and for what purpose, any changes in use over time and how individuals, organisations and the community benefit from the ATP,” Mr Creighton said. The ATP’s 56 km of shared paths is the largest active travel network to be built in a regional centre which makes it the first of its kind to be undertaken in NSW. This is an exciting opportunity for research to better understand the benefits of active travel, says chief investigator Dr Margaret

Thomas from the University of Sydney. Researchers will assess over the next two years whether use of the infrastructure increases over time, and if that has contributed to increased walking and cycling in the community. A number of different research activities will occur in Wagga Wagga from November 2021 to October 2023 to provide data and information for the research with community members invited to participate. An online survey open to all of the community will be conducted in March/April 2022 and March/April 2023. ATP observers will be stationed on several links of the network on various dates starting in November 2021 through to 2022 and 2023 to record use of the shared paths. Users of the paths will be asked to participate to answer a few survey questions which will be conducted once in 2022 and again in 2023. The ATP is funded by the NSW Government and Wagga Wagga City Council and the research project is co-funded by Transport for NSW, University of Sydney and iMOVE with support from Wagga Wagga City Council and Murrumbidgee Local Health District.

Constitutional Referendum 2021

Popularly Elected Mayor At the NSW Local Government elections on 4 December 2021, you’ll vote for who you want to represent the community on Wagga Wagga City Council – your councillors.

Councillors

choose mayor

Voters

choose mayor

This year you’ll also be asked a question, known as a constitutional referendum, about how you want our mayor to be elected – by councillors every two years, or by voters every four years.

The question The Mayor of Wagga Wagga is currently elected every two (2) years by the nine (9) Councillors. Do you approve of the direct election of the Mayor by the voters of Wagga Wagga, for a four (4) year term, noting this will result in increased election costs each and every election?

You’ll have the option to vote either YES or NO to the constitutional referendum question. Voting in the constitutional referendum is compulsory for all residents on the electoral roll.

What happens next

Deciding how you want to vote Reasons you may vote NO (keep things the same)

Reasons you may vote YES (change what we do now)

• Mayoral elections will be at an additional cost to Council every four years (see details to right).

• The position of mayor, as the leader of Council, will be determined directly by the voters.

• Candidates with greater financial resources to promote themselves in an election may have an advantage over candidates with fewer financial resources.

• A popular election of mayor could make the position of mayor more accountable to residents.

• Enabling councillors to elect and change their mayor could result in a more collaborative Council.

• A popular election of mayor could give residents an opportunity to consider mayoral candidates’ policies and vote accordingly.

This material has been printed, published, distributed and displayed on the authorisation of Peter Thompson, General Manager of Wagga Wagga City Council, 243 Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga NSW 2650

If most people vote YES, voters will elect the mayor for a four-year term at each election, beginning in 2024 (noting this will result in increased election costs each and every election). The number of councillors will remain the same. If most people vote NO, the mayor will continue to be elected every two years by the existing nine councillors.

Additional costs Moving to a popularly elected mayor will increase the cost of each Local Government election for Wagga Wagga City Council in the future. The NSW Electoral Commission estimates the cost of a popularly elected mayor will be approximately $47,000 per election. This cost will change with each election, as the number of voters in Wagga Wagga grows, and election costs increase.

HELP DESIGN NEW PLAYGROUND AT URANQUINTY

Wagga Wagga City Council is encouraging residents to have their say on the design of a new playground at the Uranquinty rest area through an online poll, which runs until Monday 6 December 2021. There are three design options for the project to replace the existing rest area playground, which is used by the Uranquinty community and travellers on the Olympic Highway. Works and Playground Officer John Conlan said the poll is now live on

Council’s connect.wagga website. “We need your help in deciding which design is best for your neighbourhood, so head online and vote for your favourite,” Mr Conlan said. “While anyone can have a say, we are really hoping to get feedback from all Uranquinty residents as they’re the ones who use this facility the most. “Once the votes are tallied and we have a winning design, Council will engage the supplier and construction of the

new playground will begin.” Each option includes traditional playground equipment, such as swings and slides, as well as bespoke elements. There is also a railway theme as the rest area is located adjacent to the main Sydney-Melbourne rail line. Mr Conlan said the project is part of Council’s playground replacement program under the Playground Strategy 20162036.

“The current equipment at the rest area is at least 20 years old and was relocated from Collins Park years ago,” Mr Conlan said. “While it’s still sturdy, it’s time for a refresh and that is what this replacement project aims to deliver to the local community.” To vote for your preferred design, visit connect.wagga.nsw. gov.au/playgrounds and follow the links. Voting closes at 9am on Monday 6 December 2021.
