opportunities for existing businesses and also be a key attractor for new investment and industry into the future.”

Dubbo, Parkes and a corridor west to Cobar, as well as a fibre solution for residents in Sutton, Bywong and Wamboin, are also included.

With technology now part of everyday life, Gig State will help boost business opportunities and overcome some of the connectivity challenges the regions face.

One of Australia’s largest national conveyancing businesses, lawlab, based in Nyngan, is often held back by poor connectivity that is common in regional areas.

“Our business relies on a strong and reliable internet service so that we can communicate with our clients and continue to grow our business nationally and support

jobs locally,” said lawlab Director, Richard Bootle.

“We’ve had to look into moving our business offshore due to costs and quality of digital services, and that’s not something we want to do. We want to keep our business and jobs in regional NSW, and this new investment will be the game changer that helps us do that.”

This level of investment into digital connectivity is a new area for the NSW Government, and is just the beginning to ensure regional NSW gets the services they deserve.

The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) will run a two-stage tender process for the Gig State project.

Step up this Sunday: Clean up Australia Day Residents right across our region will be donning their gloves on Sunday to clean up, fix up, and conserve our beautiful environment as part of Clean Up Australia Day. Wagga Wagga City Council Environmental Education Officer Alice Kent was pleased with the level of community support.

“We have 20 sites registered – a combination of schools, preschools and community groups.

Most schools will be cleaning up on Friday, and we have four sites on Sunday.”

Ms Kent reminded participants to wear sturdy footwear, a hat, gloves and sunscreen, and to stay hydrated during the day.

“The review also assessed a number of factors including crash history, nearby development, traffic mix and volumes.

“The change will provide a 40 km/h school zone for the length of Bourke Street which is an area with four schools and a heavy population of young pedestrians.

“The extension of the existing 40 km/h zone will provide a safer road environment for all road users with an increase in travel time of about 12 seconds,”

Council News - A City of Wagga Wagga publication

We're celebrating 150 years March 2020 marks 150 years since Wagga Wagga was proclaimed a ‘borough.’

Wagga Wagga City Council is preparing a public display presenting the civic and social histories, events, people and

places of what is now the Wagga Local Government Area.

The images, together with a timeline of Wagga’s history, will be on display in the Civic Centre’s arcade from Wednesday 11 March 2020.

PRIMARY PREVENTION PROJEC T A I M S T O C H A N G E AT T I T U D E S

Recent tragic events involving domestic and family violence in Australia have served as a sobering reminder of the importance for primary prevention. It’s prevention that aims to change entrenched social attitudes of disrespect towards women and girls – disrespect that in many cases leads to violence.

Wagga Wagga’s rate of domestic and family violence remains 29.4 per cent higher than the NSW state average – a rate which has increased 40 per cent in the last five years.

It was in response to these statistics, and the results of local research, that the Wagga Women’s Health Centre partnered with Wagga Wagga City Council to implement a longterm plan for primary prevention: theDVproject:2650. theDVproject:2650 aims to educate our community on the causes of violence against women and their children, promote gender equality and respect for women, and challenge rigid gender roles and stereotypes.

A strong supporter of theDVproject:2650, Wagga Wagga City Council General Manager Peter Thompson believes addressing the root cause of violence – gender inequality – is imperative in bringing about long-term change.

“Domestic and family violence is a very real and current issue facing our community. By having a Wagga-specific primary prevention project, we’re actively working to bring about a permanent change in people’s

attitudes towards women and girls, and prevent violence from happening in the first place,” Mr Thompson said.

“This project is an important part of the process needed to instigate change in our community. From Enlighten for Equity – our school-based project, working with local businesses and education providers, plus the organisational changes we’re driving here at Council, we’re calling on all areas of our community to be champions for change in gender equality.”

In 2016 the Wagga Women’s Health Centre conducted a survey to assess the community’s knowledge and attitudes towards domestic violence and gender roles. The findings were concerning, with results showing many members of the community hold low support for gender equality, adhere to rigid or stereotypical gender roles, and have attitudes and beliefs that justify, excuse, trivialise or minimise domestic and family violence, and blame the victim.

Wagga Wagga City Council Equity Project Manager Maryna Bilousova said the survey findings were valuable in formulating the project’s three-year plan.

“The Community Attitudes survey gave us great insight and helped us identify three key areas. We’re working towards instilling organisational change within Council, engaging local businesses across Wagga, and rolling out community-wide campaigns, such as our current Reflect Respect campaign.

“All three components allow

us to take a preventive focus by looking at how we can change the behaviours and attitudes of disrespect and inequality in our community,” Ms Bilousova said. theDVproject:2650 is run by Wagga Wagga City Council’s Equity and Respect team and is endorsed by the Wagga Women’s Health Centre. The three-year project is running until June 2021. theDVproject:2650 – what you can do Individuals: Be an active bystander: call-out disrespectful behaviour when you see it.

Pay attention to the language you use around children: steer clear of gender stereotypes.

Understand casual sexism, stereotypes and unconscious bias, and how they reinforce disrespect towards women.

COUNCILLOR COLUMN

We have recently been advised that the Labor Party in NSW is about to embark on an attempt to have property developers and real estate agents banned from standing for election at the next

and all future local government elections.

We don’t know the reason but the common belief is because they corrupt planning decisions in Local Government especially in the major metropolitan cities.

But this can’t be the reason because all planning powers have been stripped from

those councils and is now controlled by the Greater Sydney Commission. This commission was created by an act of parliament and reports to parliament so it is a child of the state government.

Further, local government has a very well understood system of interest declarations and exclusion from
