DUNNS ROAD Wagga Wagga City Council is continuing work on the Dunns Road upgrade, with grading scheduled to start next week, weather permitting.

Associate Director of Projects Silas Darby said Council will use GPS technology to assist in grading the site as quickly and accurately as possible.

“The existing top layers of the road will be removed and replaced using GPS enabled graders,” Mr Darby said.

“In the not so distant past, this type of work was carried out by sight, using pegs.

The city welcomes a boost in visitors over the Easter school holidays The team at the Wagga Wagga Visitor Information Centre have been busy helping new and returning travellers to our city during a bustling Easter school holiday period.

Visitor Services Operations Officer Sarah Myers said people were feeling increasingly confident about travelling.

“We’re finding people that haven’t travelled for two years are now getting their caravans out and not having that fear of things being cancelled on

them,” Ms Myers said.

“People are wanting to travel within NSW; they’re not ready to go overseas so are still travelling in their own backyard.

“A lot of visitors tell us they’ve already ‘done the coast’ and are now looking inland for road trips to places like Wagga Wagga, Bourke and Broken Hill.

“Many people are also drawn to the city for events like the NRL matches, Gears and Beers Festival, the Stone the Crows Festival, and then of course families coming to the Kapooka March Out Parades.”

Visitor Economy Assistant Heather Creed said many first-time visitors are pleasantly surprised by what they find.

“People are always surprised at how

big the city is,” Ms Creed said.

“We get comments on how friendly and clean the city is, and the free attractions are always a bonus. Visitors enjoy the overall experience and are delighted at what a lovely city it is.”

Many visitors already in the region begin planning their next visit when they discover how much there is to see and do. Local accommodation operators also reported a very busy period with some booked out for the entire holiday period. Visitors have been making the most of their Service NSW Stay vouchers, receiving $50 off their accommodation. This has been an incentive for people to remain on holidays and stay in the region a little longer.

SHOP LOCAL: The Visitor Information Centre has a wide range of locallyproduced goods perfect for gifts.

From front page The Visitor Information Centre is also an official Driver Reviver location during school holidays, which kept the team busy providing tea, coffee and biscuits to travellers.

“The tea and coffee is always very well received; we’ve had many grey nomads stopping in as well as lots of families,” Ms Myers said.

“Now that we have our playground covered here at the Visitor Information Centre, people will stop off a bit longer and it gives us the opportunity to promote the rest of the city.

“If they’ve stopped here for a tea or coffee, they’ll often wander across to the Art Gallery and Museum, stroll through the city centre and walk along the Wiradjuri Trail. The tea or coffee may even convert a short break into an overnight stay because people feel they need more time to see everything they want to.”

While most visitors to the region

are from within NSW, the Visitor Information Centre welcomes travellers from every state and territory in the country, as well as some international visitors.

“We love meeting all the different people, and the distances people travel to see their families are amazing; just this week we had a family from Perth and another from northern Queensland,” Ms Myers said.

“Our visitors are always happy to come in and see some friendly faces and have a chat,” Ms Creed said.

“It’s really lovely to be able to help people and welcome them to our beautiful region.

“We’d also like to remind locals that we’re here to assist them too; we’ve got lots of information about things you can do in our city and region, as well as locally produced goods which make perfect gifts for friends and family.

“We’re here to help everyone.”

Each year Wagga Wagga welcomes 1.38 million visitors, who stay an average of three nights, contributing $385 million annually to the local economy.

Corporate Net Zero Strategy

Our draft Wagga Wagga City Council Corporate Net Zero Strategy is now on public exhibition.

Take a look and let us know your thoughts.

Sharing a love of reading: Library program keeps senior residents connected Wagga Wagga City Library is helping ensure our community’s senior residents have access to resources with staff delivering books to aged care centres across the city as part of the Community Links program.

Library Assistants Jenny Mansell and Simon Malloy are involved in this program which includes delivering large print and audio books to eight different aged care centres across the city.

Ms Mansell said the program was important as many aged care residents have fond memories of growing up with books.

“Every resident is familiar with the word ‘library’; everyone has a memory from their childhood and books,” Ms Mansell said.

“Our service is very much appreciated and we receive lots of positive feedback.

“Though residents may no longer be able to get to the library or read as much as they used to, there’s always that social connection when they see where we’re from.”

Mr Malloy said reading is often a pastime senior community members identify with their youth.

“They might have read when they were younger and, because of their working lives or life in general, they’ve gone away from reading, returning to it in later years when they have more time,” Mr Malloy said.

When aged care residents are no longer able to read due to failing eyesight, audio books help

bridge the gap.

“Audio books are a great way to get wrapped up in a story; you’re still connecting with words and reading, just in a different way,” Ms Mansell said.

“They’re particularly helpful for residents who might struggle to hold a book up; they can sit back and enjoy listening to the story unfold.”

The Community Links collection is made up of predominantly easy to read fiction, including historical fiction, romances and light crime, with some non-fiction titles included.

“It’s great knowing that we are providing a valued library service to our senior residents who have worked hard all their lives and can now relax with a good book.” Mr Malloy said.

Council’s Environmental Health Team win major award The NSW Government Food Authority awarded Wagga Wagga City Council’s Environmental Health Team with a Food Surveillance Champion Award this week in recognition of outstanding performance and excellence in food safety.

The award recognised the significant contribution in terms of service, achievement and impact to food surveillance in the community made by Council’s Environmental Health Officers Uvindu Warnakoolasuriya, Kate Barraclough, Geoff Lang, and Environmental Health Coordinator Sharomi Dayanand.

Manager of the NSW Food Authority’s Local Government Unit Andrew Davies and Policy Officer Judd Owen travelled to Wagga Wagga to present the award in person.

Mr Davies said Council’s ongoing food surveillance helps ensure that food sold in Wagga Wagga is safe to eat.

“Poor food handling practices can result in people getting very sick so the work that Council’s Environmental Health Team does helps safeguard the community’s health and safety,” Mr Davies said.

The Wagga Wagga City Council nomination stood out in a competitive awards category.

“The nomination made clear the team’s commitment to food safety and their community, not only by demonstrating strong Food Regulation Partnership performance, but also by undertaking many value-adding initiatives,” Mr Davies said.

“It was the team’s commitment to doing things a little bit differently that drew the attention of the judging panel.

“For example, the ways they adapted to the COVID-19 situation; conducting rapid rounds of surveillance checks on food businesses in the

retail sector, developing a book helping children understand how to protect themselves through handwashing and sanitising; and other work such as helping deliver meals to those in need.

“The work they’ve done in relation to this award shows they’ve gone beyond best practice; some of their initiatives are leading practice.”

Environmental Health Coordinator Sharomi Dayanand said the recognition was appreciated as the team continues to work to protect the community against disease.

“Through carrying out regular food safety inspections, we’re mitigating risks and helping keep our community safe,” Ms Dayanand said.

In addition to assessing food businesses in Wagga Wagga and surrounding villages, the team are often called on to assist other councils.

“A lot of smaller councils don’t have the expertise needed so we’re happy to help assess their local food businesses and ensure they’re meeting the food safety standards.”

Council’s Environmental Health Officers also help the region’s food business sector keep up with trends and stay aware of important issues.

“We work in close collaboration with many food businesses who are very cooperative, assisting with food safety and fit-out information, whether it’s changing a concept or process within the business or changing to new business premises,” Ms Dayanand said.

“We are always open to supporting local food businesses and working with them, especially at the business start-up stage, so their business is not interrupted. We place a lot of emphasis on getting it right from the start.”

Towards net zero: Council’s corporate emissions strategy available for feedback Wagga Wagga City Council is seeking community feedback on its draft corporate net zero strategy which went on public exhibition this week.

The draft Wagga Wagga City Council Corporate Net Zero Strategy presents a range of actions Council is proposing which would avoid, minimise and offset emissions from Council owned or managed activities and facilities.

The strategy also includes a potential emissions reduction pathway that Council may implement to reduce its carbon footprint to meet the 2040 net zero target, including reducing corporate emissions from electricity, gas, fuel, landfill operation, wastewater treatment and electricity for streetlighting.

The term 'net zero' refers to the balancing of greenhouse gas emissions with actions that remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

Acting Director Community Mark Gardiner said that by setting and working to achieve the corporate target, Council was aiming to demonstrate to the wider community that net zero is

achievable.

“Wagga Wagga City Council has committed to two emissions reduction targets, a corporate target of net zero emissions by 2040 and, more recently, a community target of net zero emissions by 2050,” Mr Gardiner said.

“We understand that many local businesses and individuals are looking to Council for guidance and leadership on emissions reduction.

“We’ve taken a lot of care in drafting our corporate strategy to ensure it’s realistic and achievable, and clearly indicates what we’re planning.

“Now that the strategy is available to the public, we’re hoping as many people as possible read it and let us know their thoughts – we’re keen to hear the community’s feedback.”

The majority of Council’s corporate carbon emissions stem from landfill-generated greenhouse gases (80 per cent).

Electricity usage is the second largest emissions source after landfill, contributing 10 per cent, with other contributors including fuel (diesel, petrol and ethanol),

natural gas and wastewater emissions.

Mr Gardiner said that by achieving the NSW State Government’s waste targets, including 10 per cent total waste reduction, 80 per cent waste diversion from landfill and 50 per cent reduction in organic waste by 2030, Council will be on track to make a significant contribution to the achievement of the corporate target.

“It’s going to require a lot of work and dedication, but we’re committed to doing all we can to achieve the emissions reduction targets,” Mr Gardiner said.

“We’re hoping the community will support us and do what they can to reduce their own emissions.

“At this stage we’re looking forward to listening to the community’s feedback and suggestions for our draft corporate strategy.”

The draft Wagga Wagga City Council Corporate Net Zero Strategy is on public exhibition until 19 May 2022.

Grading to begin on Dunns Road From front cover “This new technology uses GPS to track position, levels and grades in the designed road pavement and the computerised mapping shows where the grader blade needs to be and cuts away accordingly, so it’s very accurate.”

Mr Darby said Stage 1 of the upgrade will probably be impacted due to wet weather conditions.

“Unfortunately, a wet winter is predicted which means delays to the project will be inevitable,” Mr Darby said.

“The rain will be a challenge for us because, obviously, we can’t put a pavement seal over a wet surface without risk of catastrophic failure.

“Hopefully we can have the entire road resealed

by late spring.”

The second stage of the upgrade will see Council working with Transport for NSW to construct a right-hand turning lane at the Olympic Highway and Dunns Road intersection.

Stage 3 of the upgrade – construction of a roundabout at the Holbrook Road and Dunns Road intersection – will be subject to receiving black spot funding.

Stage 1 of the project is expected to be completed by December 2022.

The Dunns Road upgrade project is funded by the Australian Government ($5.8 million) and Wagga Wagga City Council ($2.5 million).

WORLD-CLASS: The National Art Glass Gallery’s latest exhibition celebrates the extraordinary career of Australian glass artist Gerry King.

AUNTY CHERYL PENRITH & AUNTY LORRAINE CONNELLY-NORTHEY

Excellence in glass: discover the Gerry King exhibition Wagga Wagga’s National Art Glass Gallery is celebrating the extraordinary career of Australian glass artist Gerry King, with his latest exhibition now on display.

Towards the Finishing Line: works from the last decade showcases 30 new works by Mr King alongside pivotal formative works from the gallery’s own collection.

The internationally acclaimed artist, who is also an author, master craftsman, lecturer and mentor, is preoccupied with observing the colours and forms of nature, and the impact of light and colour in his work.

Assistant Curator Michael Scarrone said the exhibition offers visitors a chance to view excellence in glass.

“The works are made by an artist whose way of thinking about the content, combined with his use of techniques and understanding of glass, are fully resolved,” Mr Scarrone said.

“Visitors have marvelled at the vibrancy of these works which reflect Australian colours and aspects of landscapes; there is a real familiarity to them.”

Mr King’s Lasseter’s Reef series touches

WHAT’S

ON WAGGA WAGGA + SURROUNDS

THIS WEEK:

on one of Australia's most alluring legends – the alleged discovery of a vast gold-bearing deposit in central Australia by Harold Lasseter at the turn of the 19th century.

“The Lasseter’s Reef series draws attention to the early settler’s underestimation of the challenging conditions, the vastness, and the underlying richness of the Australian interior,” Mr Scarrone said.

“His work also responds to elements of familiar landscapes and environments of farmed land, desert areas, shallow lakes and rivers, and the effects of drought.

“Gerry King’s work features in major collections worldwide so we’re thrilled to be able to show so many of his pieces here in Wagga Wagga.

“I encourage everyone to pay a visit; it’s a truly impressive body of work.”

Gerry King’s Towards the Finishing Line: works from the last decade is on exhibition at the National Art Glass Gallery until Sunday 19 June 2022.
