Region's artists to shine at Artstate 2020 The vitality and creativity of the Riverina’s performing and visual artists will be celebrated through a diverse program of events as part of Artstate 2020, being held in Wagga Wagga from Thursday to Sunday, 5-8 November 2020. One-hundred and fifty delegates from across NSW will attend the conference, which is being presented by Eastern Riverina Arts in partnership with Regional Arts NSW and supported by Wagga Wagga City Council. Civic Theatre Manager Carissa Campbell said it was exciting to be hosting one of the
first conferences to take place under a COVID safe plan. “We are very proud of the plan we have in place to ensure that our community and visitors to the city can continue to enjoy live entertainment, our artists and performers continue to get paid and of course everyone remains safe,” Ms Campbell said. “Our livestreaming technology has been compared to the best in the country and we are very excited to be able to offer those services to Artstate 2020, making this conference accessible to an even wider audience this year than ever before. “Arts has already been recognised as a valuable tool in personally dealing with the isolation of the pandemic, and now we can showcase how important it is to the economic recovery of our city too!” The accompanying Arts Program will feature performances, exhibitions and fun, fabulous art installations taking place all over the city. Arts Program Director Scott Howie said
CSU Riverina Playhouse will be activated with an assortment of weird and wonderful drag, cabaret, poets, musicians and burlesque performers. “This includes two fantastic original works in Playhaus: Act on Thursday, Playhaus: Words & Music on Friday and Playhaus: Cabaret on Saturday night,” Mr Howie said. “Taking things to an even more intimate level is a series of one-on-one performances inside the immersive multi-sensory space, Platform, which will be located near the Riverina Playhouse. “We’ll have Low Energy Dance on Thursday night and Together/Apart on Friday and Saturday nights between 8 pm to 11pm. “The idea is that you drop in and one of 15 local artists will perform a 3-5 minute act just for you.” In addition to hosting the conference component of Artstate 2020, the Civic Theatre is also the venue for a concert by

Five-star pool: Oasis receives highest ever safety score The Oasis Regional Aquatic Centre continues to build on its reputation as one of the state’s top pools after receiving a 99 per cent safety score from Royal Life Saving NSW this week. The pool remains one of only 45 aquatic centres in NSW to achieve a 5 Star Water Safety Partnership with Royal Life Saving NSW – made possible by passing the Aquatic Facility Safety Assessment (AFSA) and demonstrating a strong commitment to safety standards. After first achieving the coveted five-star rating in 2014, the Oasis team have been steadily improving their AFSA score. Oasis Aquatics Supervisor Taileigh King said this year’s 99 per cent was their best result to date. “We’re very proud of our safety rating as we’ve put a lot of time and energy into achieving it,” Ms King said. “While the assessment isn’t mandatory, Royal Life Saving NSW encourages all aquatic centres to do it every year. “We take part to ensure we’re maintaining our high safety standards and keeping up-to-date with industry best practice.” AFSA is a rigorous 40 point aquatic safety check covering general
operations, emergency procedures, record keeping, first aid, plant room operations and chemicals, facility design, supervision, programming and specific aquatic areas such as diving towers. The Oasis team has spent months preparing, improving items that were noted in the previous assessment. “Our lifeguards and swim teachers always mark very highly, as do our documentation and emergency procedures,” Ms King said. “The areas we needed to improve from the 2019 report were mainly signage. “In the last year we’ve replaced about $7000 of signage – adding braille on bathroom entrances, depth markers, and colour labels on the plant room pipes – lots of little things which got us up to 99 per cent.” The team are closer to achieving their best possible safety result than may first appear. “We have very few safety improvement plan recommendations left that we’re capable of implementing due to structural limitations – for example, some of our walkways aren’t the recommended two metres wide,” Ms King said. “Now we’ve achieved this mark, we’ll be working extremely hard to maintain it
and address the few recommendations we’re able to fix to reach our maximum possible score next year.” When asked the difference between a five-star pool and any other pool, Ms King said it came down to design, standards of supervision, dedication to safety, and resources. “At the Oasis, we have the resources to ensure we’re abiding by the Guidelines for Safe Pool Operations and industry best practice,” Ms King said. “This pool is a fantastic resource for the local community to have – for example, in ten years of aquatics this is the first pool I’ve ever worked at that’s five-star rated. “And if you look at the list of five-star pools, most of them are metro-based, so we’re proud to see Wagga Wagga up there with the best.” Royal Life Saving NSW encourages all NSW schools and the community to seek out swimming pools that have been deemed compliant against the pre-determined aquatic safety criteria and achieved their 5 Star Water Safety status.

WELCOME TO HARDENVALE: WHERE NOSTALGIA LURKS IN DARK CORNERS
The tyre swan, the Hills Hoist and the venetian blinds are instantly recognisable, yet something feels a little odd. If you find yourself comforted by familiarity, but strangely disconcerted while wandering through Wagga Wagga Art Gallery’s latest exhibit, you’ll be making three artists very happy. Hardenvale – Our home in Absurdia is an ambitious installation recreating an Australian postwar fibro home. Conceived by leading Australian artists Catherine O’Donnell, Kellie O’Dempsey and Todd Fuller, the house is a place where families and different generations can share their experience and memories of home. WELCOME HOME: Strange things are happening inside the lifeThe trio, drawing on their own sized house created by leading Australian artists Kellie O’Dempsey, upbringings, have designed each Todd Fuller and Catherine O’Donnell. room to trigger a mix of emotions and memories using projected animations, small and large scale L AUNCH + LIVE PERFORMANCE: drawings, and modified heritage Hardenvale – Our home in Absurdia and household objects.

based around those houses, we’ve stripped it back so it could be anyone’s house.” Kellie O’Dempsey said the installation explores the quintessential home environment of working class Australia, and the strangeness that operates on the suburban and cultural fringe. “We use the term ‘uncanny’ in that it’s both familiar and awkward at the same time,” Ms O’Dempsey said. “It reflects the strange dark stories that happen behind closed doors.” The house explores the tension between ‘keeping up appearances’ with a sometimes more sinister reality, according to Todd Fuller. “From the front it is this very ordered, white, pristine, inviting home – and in the backyard it’s dark, moody and creepy – things shouldn’t be where they are,” Mr Fuller said. “We have moments for warm memories and moments where you’ll think – there’s something not quite right here.” Described by its creators as a ‘slow-cooker artwork’ Hardenvale reveals itself in stages with some digital animations timed to appear at odd intervals. “You might walk past an image

and the next time you see it, notice you missed a flicker,” Mr Fuller said. “You’ll have moments thinking ‘Did that just move?’” The life-sized house also challenges perceptions of how we experience art. “This isn’t an artwork you walk past,” Ms O’Dempsey said. “You’ve got to walk through it, seeing other people’s shadows and walls that are not quite walls – you physically feel it.” Unique to a travelling exhibition, Hardenvale collects elements of each place it visits, continually adding to itself. “The back mural is the Wagga Wagga skyline, plus we’ve included references to the guinea pig queen from the Botanic Gardens, the Wagga Wave and the Murray Cod,” Mr Fuller said. Ms O’Donnell also created three models of Wagga Wagga houses, which she’s hoping will be spotted by eagle-eyed visitors. “I’d love someone to recognise their own home,” she said.

Council News - A City of Wagga Wagga publication
A 20-year vision for Wagga Wagga: Have your say A detailed vision of Wagga Wagga’s growth and development in the next 20 years is now open for community feedback and ideas to guide the long-term future of the city and its villages. Wagga Wagga City Council endorsed the draft Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) to go on public exhibition and receive submissions for 42 days at its 26 October Ordinary Council Meeting. Council Director Regional Activation Michael Keys said the document, a legislative requirement of the State
Government, is one of the most important planning strategies to drive growth, investment and promote liveability across the Local Government Area (LGA). He said the plan details how land-use changes will be managed into the future. It will provide a basis for rezoning decisions and inform the review of planning controls across the whole LGA, guiding development outcomes. “This is Council’s vision for Wagga Wagga and our villages heading towards 2040,” Mr Keys said. “Important criteria is
addressed - what the city and surrounds will look like in another two decades, how and where it will grow and what we need to cater for a growing and changing population. “We also focus on how to protect key business and industry to secure employment opportunities and continued investment and expansion of these key employers.” Mr Keys said the development of the statement is a State Government directive aimed at putting more emphasis on strategic planning for the future.
“It makes sense … we need to have a longterm vision to plan infrastructure, to support growth and pay for it in a sustainable manner,” Mr Keys said. “We also need to protect the environment; our priority is to retain key environmental features and balance this with development. This recognises the importance our community and future generations have for our natural areas.” Mr Keys said heritage and conservation areas in central Wagga are also of high interest and managing change in these areas and
with regard character items is an ongoing area for discussion and consideration. “How do we bring more people into the city to create more activity so businesses can grow and thrive, but also focus on our residents, new and existing, and how they access services?” he said. “We want to hear the community’s ideas, thoughts and feedback on what we’re proposing … they are a very valuable part of
WHEELS IN MOTION FOR NEW CYCLING FACILITY Work has officially started on construction of Wagga Wagga’s new $9.2M multisport cycling complex at Pomingalarna Reserve, with the turning of the first sod of soil on Thursday, 29 October 2020. In a reflection of the Reserve’s cultural significance to the Wiradjuri people, traditional digging sticks were used in the sod turning ceremony by (pictured right) Wiradjuri Elder Aunty Isabel Reid, Acting NSW Minister for Sport Geoff Lee and Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Cr Greg Conkey OAM. The project is funded through a $7M grant from the NSW Government’s Regional Sports Infrastructure Fund, and $2.2M from Wagga Wagga City Council. Mr Lee said the multisport cycling complex was an example of the Government’s commitment to improving the quality and quantity of sports venues in regional NSW. “High quality sports facilities like the Wagga Wagga Multisport Cycling Complex

COUNCILLOR COLUMN
By the time this column goes to print the Royal Commission Into National Natural Disaster Arrangements and its 80 recommendations will have been released. Unfortunately, I hold out little hope that meaningful action to mitigate against future disasters like the Black Summer fires will be undertaken by this Government. On Thursday, I read a media statement from our Federal Member for Riverina, Michael McCormack calling the ANZ’s decision to introduce
emissions reporting requirements for some of its business customers as responding to “activist shareholders”, yet what Mr McCormack fails to point out is that even ANZ, in a time of significant profit downturns and in a deep recession, recognises the need to shift their investments from coal to renewable energy. Mr McCormack called it an attack on farmers, purposely without acknowledging that it is actually a targeted strategy adopted by all of the big four banks to exit direct thermal coal investments. ANZ is the last of the big
four to make that commitment. Once again, it’s not the farmers that the junior coalition party is jumping up and down to defend, it’s their big coal donors and all at the expense of regional communities, including those represented by Mr McCormack here in the Riverina. So when those recommendations are released, it’s a safe bet that rather than taking meaningful action on climate change over future summers, thanks to Mr McCormack and his party’s priorities, lives will be lost, homes destroyed, farms decimated and primary industries brought to their knees all for the sake of securing some
cash from donors. Who could forget the interview where, when challenged Mr McCormack couldn’t think of one single example where The Nationals put farmers before miners, not one. Regions matter he keeps telling us, it’s time to step out from the slogan and prove it. Whilst the rest of us gear up for the next fire season as we are still cleaning up the damage from the last, Mr McCormack will continue to keep himself comfortably cool with his head planted firmly in the sand.

Wagga Wagga City Council has released a Draft Plan of Management for the city’s much-loved Pomingalarna Park Reserve, and is asking for community feedback. The Pomingalarna Park Reserve Draft Plan of Management 2019–2029 details Council’s plans for the community land, including both ‘visionary’ and practical day-to-day management, and is open for submissions until 5pm, 4 December 2020. Parks & Recreation Officer Glenda Pym said the reserve’s importance lay in its natural bushland characteristics and the significant cultural connection it holds with the Wiradjuri community. “The local Wiradjuri community have always been connected to the space,” Ms Pym said. “We also have many cycling groups, community groups and lots of casual users, like runners and bird watchers, who love the reserve as well.” To update the Plan of Management, Council met with stakeholders, including the Pomingalarna Wiradjuri First Nations Women’s Group and cycling groups, to ensure the plan met with each group’s expectations while preserving the reserve’s natural integrity.

“We also conducted a cultural survey, which identified sites of cultural significance for Wiradjuri and First Nations Peoples,” Ms Pym said. “This helped us ensure those sites were preserved and protected by the plan.” The Draft Plan of Management includes information about weed and bushfire management in addition to plans for increased wayfinding and interpretative signage. The Wagga Wagga Multisport Cycling Complex – a showpiece for community sporting infrastructure within the city – will be developed on a small section of the reserve, which is largely clear of older growth bushland. “The cycling complex has been developed to be sympathetic to the natural bushland,” Ms Pym said. Council is encouraging the community to visit connect.wagga.nsw. gov.au/pomingalarna, download and read the Draft Plan of Management, and share their thoughts. “Submitting your feedback is the best way to ensure Council’s plans for the reserve are in keeping with what you love about it.” To read the Plan of Management, and share your feedback, visit connect. wagga.nsw.gov.au/pomingalarna
