HAMPDEN BRIDGE T R A N S F O R M AT I O N

Specialist renderers and painters worked this week to bring historic Abutment A back to its past glory as the former western entrance to the Hampden Bridge.

Electrical work is also underway, in preparation for an original gas lantern to be re-installed following its restoration. Abutment A will have a new life as a viewing platform with seating, handrails, lighting, and interpretive signage.

Landscaping of the area between the carpark area and the Wiradjuri Bridge will get underway in September. The rejuvenation project aims to tell the story of the bridge, its builders, engineering innovation and how it transformed the city.

Works are scheduled for completion in November.

Farrer Road upgrade set to start One of the city’s most important transport corridors will be widened and upgraded in a $6.4M project set to start next month.

Farrer Road provides essential access for residents living in the residential estate of Boorooma, and people accessing educational facilities at The Riverina Anglican College, TAFE and CSU. Wagga Wagga City Council Senior Project Manager Silas Darby said the road was identified

for upgrade due to its rising traffic counts and strategic location servicing a growing residential area and educational institutions.

“The project will deliver a new 1.9km road with additional turning lanes outside The Riverina Anglican College and at Coolamon Road to improve traffic flow,” he said.

“Wagga Wagga City Council is funding the $6.4M upgrade project which will be undertaken in three stages.

“Firstly, starting next month, trees will be removed to enable the widening of the road corridor.

Secondly, a 1.6km Essential Energy gas main will be relocated to the widened road corridor. The

final stage - road construction - is expected to kick off at the end of year.”

There will be minor road diversions during the gas relocation stage, but the main inconvenience for drivers will be during the road upgrade.

The Council will work with the contractor to maintain accessibility to Lindrum Way, Sturrock Drive, Whitten Avenue and Kingsford Smith Drive, Amundsen Street, TAFE and The Riverina Anglican College.

In 2019/20 Council will invest $80M in capital works, including road infrastructure.

PL ANNING PROPOSALS TO SUPPORT GROWING CIT Y

A number of planning proposals were presented to the 26 August Council Meeting as the city works towards a population of 100,000 over the next 20 years.

A draft planning proposal was supported by all Councillors to make a neighbourhood shopping centre in Estella more feasible.

The northern suburbs of Boorooma, Estella, Gobbagombalin are among the fastest growing areas in the state, and while there are two zoned business sites in the area for private development, both remain vacant.

About 2500sqm of land will be rezoned from RE1 Public Recreation to B2 Local Centre and other changes made to facilitate a larger

development site.

Meanwhile, increased housing options are on the way for Springvale and Tatton.

A draft planning proposal to reduce minimum lot sizes for various lots on Plumpton Road, Brindabella Drive and Belmore Place was also supported, while a separate planning proposal for land at 53 Plumpton Road and 108 Brindabella Drive was adopted.

In the village of Ladysmith, a draft planning proposal to reduce lot sizes from 200 hectares to two hectares for a site on Tumbarumba Road. Ladysmith has been identified as having the potential for more growth, which will support the existing services within the village.

Representatives from the RSL/ Commercial Club and Rules Club Wagga presented more than $126,830 in funding to 23 community groups on Thursday 29 August, as part of the 2019 ClubGRANTS scheme.

Wagga Wagga City Council coordinates the local ClubGRANTS committee made up of a representative from RSL/ Commercial Club, Rules Club Wagga, Family and Community Services and a non-government representative.

The ClubGRANTS scheme is a state-wide initiative that provides the framework for registered clubs to directly fund local priority projects and services.

“The funding provided by this scheme assists groups that may not have been able to secure financial assistance through other means and helps to ensure valued services and projects continue to be delivered,” Council’s Director Community Janice Summerhayes said.

Clubs that earn more than $1 million annually in gaming machine revenue provide funding for community projects and services, and in turn receive dollar-for-dollar gaming tax deductions.

The 2019 recipients and

successful projects are: • Forster Care Angels - Training, Education and Support for Young People Affected by Foster Care • The Shepherd Centre for Deaf Children - Confident Kids Connect - For Deaf Children in Wagga Wagga • Carevan Wagga Incorporated – Kitchen Equipment • The Northcott Society Specialised Equipment for Northcott Wagga Wagga Respite House • Ashmont Churches Caring for Children – Ashmont Breakfast Program • Learning Links – 2019-2020 Reading for Life in Wagga Wagga • Miracle Babies Foundation NICU Survival Packs for Wagga Wagga Base Hospital Special Care Nursery • Autism Spectrum Australia Sensory classroom supports for children with autism at Aspect Riverina School satellite class in Wagga Wagga • First Health Ltd - Whipper Snipper Women • Toy Library Wagga Wagga - Enhancing the Safety and Accessibility of Wagga Wagga Toy Library

RESPEC T AT CENTRE OF RECONCILIATION AC TION PL AN

Wagga Wagga City Council has taken a significant step towards ongoing reconciliation with First Nations Peoples.

The city’s first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was adopted at the Monday 26 August Ordinary Council Meeting following many years of development in collaboration with Reconciliation

Australia and extensive feedback from the local Wiradjuri and First Nations community.

“The Reconciliation Action Plan’s priorities are recognising and valuing Wiradjuri culture and building relationships based on respect with all First Nations Peoples,” Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Greg

Conkey OAM said.

“Council hopes that through this plan we will strengthen our city to further become a place where all community members value and respect our First Nations Peoples and our local Wiradjuri culture and heritage.

“This plan clearly demonstrates Council’s commitment to working

with First Nations Peoples towards a better and stronger future, and the role we can play to realise that vision.”

In 2016 a RAP working group was formed, following consultation with Reconciliation Australia. At this point it was determined Council’s approach should be an “Innovate” RAP, which focus on outlining

clear actions that work towards achieving Council’s vision for reconciliation.

The RAP includes 19 actions under the key themes of relationship, respect and opportunities as well as governance, tracking progress and reporting. You can read the RAP at wagga.nsw.gov.au.

Full-scale exercise to prepare airport and emergency services A full-scale emergency exercise will be staged at Wagga Wagga Airport next month.

The emergency scenario is designed to evaluate the coordinated response of all agencies in the event of a real disaster.

About 60 volunteers of all ages are required to help act out the aircraft emergency scenario on Saturday 14 September to test Council’s Airport Emergency Plan.

“This will be a joint exercise between Council and the RAAF Base Wagga,” Wagga Wagga Airport Manager Leon Burger said.

“The scenario will be a crash between two aircraft and will involve all other local emergency response agencies including Police, Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Rural Fire Service, NSW Ambulance Service, Volunteer Rescue Association and the State Emergency Service.

“Council as the Aerodrome Operator holds safety as its

have volunteered and will be given various roles to play out.

“We have had a fantastic response from the community wanting to volunteer,” Mr Burger

said. “Anyone who would like to help out can register online by midnight, Sunday 1 September.

“Not only will the Airport Emergency Plan be tested on the day, but all agencies involved and RAAF Base Wagga will also take the opportunity to test their own plans, staff training and equipment.

“This will help to ensure that in the event of a real life aviation emergency, the emergency response is both rapid and effective.”

The airport will be closed to all normal flight operations between 1.30pm and 4pm on 14 September except for passenger and emergency flight services.

Anyone under 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Volunteers will be transported by bus from the CBD to and from the airport on the day.

BOLTON PARK’S NEW AMENITIES TO KICK-START MASTER PLAN Construction of a new milliondollar amenities block at Bolton Park will kick-off the first project to start the redevelopment at Wagga Wagga’s regional sporting hub.

Wagga Wagga City Council approved the new construction at its Ordinary Meeting on 26 August, which signals the implementation of the $66M Bolton Park Master Plan endorsed by Council in June 2019.

The master plan identifies that the amenities block currently located in Bolton Park open space, central to the three cricket grounds, should be relocated to the north of Geoff Lawson Oval and be a multi-purpose facility, which includes: • Enhanced and relocated amenities block serving Bolton Park ovals’ facilities

• Canteen facility • Secondary green keeping facility serving the park’s activities Council will now start the tender process to design and construct the project.

Replacing the existing amenities block with a new facility opens up more opportunities for the use of the Bolton Park ovals, according to Council Strategic Recreation officer Peter Cook.

Mr Cook said the grounds are also being viewed as a games venue for women’s Australian football in addition to cricket and also training grounds for various codes.

“The new amenities block will be unisex and that gives sporting groups and organisations more options to consider the venue for their events,” Mr Cook said.

“We’re particularly keen to see women’s Australian football continue to develop in this area and there’s been strong interest from within local AFL circles to utilise Bolton Park for this purpose. It promises to be a multi-use sporting area with excellent facilities to accommodate a range of activities and various sports.”

Funding sources for the new amenities block are $342,236 from Stronger Country Communities Fund Round 2 grant, $170,443.88 from Renew Community Amenities – Bolton Park, $136,209 from Bolton Park Accessible Toilet Services, and borrowings of $351,112.

Council will pursue financial contributions from state sporting organisations, which, if successful, will reduce the required borrowings.

networks.

Currently only 30 per cent of the nation’s freight is transported by rail, but this is expected to jump to 62 per cent by 2050.

With 77 per cent of Australia’s agricultural products being exported, it is crucial that an efficient rail system is available.

Inland Rail will not only

provide that efficient transport system, but also will reduce freight costs, making our agricultural products more competitive on the international stage.

Wagga Wagga is set to take full advantage of the benefits Inland Rail offers.

A large intermodal freight centre is to be built at Bomen with the first stage

of that project, the construction of a 5.8km spur line off the main line, to begin shortly.

Bomen has also been named as a Special Activation Precinct with the NSW Government supporting the development of that area by developing the area with additional services as well as providing incentives for factories to establish or

relocate.

Considerable interest in not only Bomen, but the city itself, is encouraging.

It’s no wonder I have been saying for the past three years this is the most exciting time this city has ever experienced.
