We’re all happy here at the zoo! Life is just grand for all the animals at the city’s Botanic Gardens Zoo and Aviary. The gates might be closed, but inside it’s been business as usual every day with Wagga Wagga City Council staff working hard to look after all the residents’ needs. See full story inside.
FEEDING FUN: Resident donkeys Forrest and Shrimp love a visit from zoo curator Kieralee Tori who is one of the Wagga Wagga City Council staff members working hard to ensure the animals’ welfare at the popular attraction which has been closed during the pandemic.
Support for 'Live Local. Be Local' Wagga Wagga business groups are banding together in support of local retail and commercial operations currently navigating their way through the initial impacts of the pandemic. Wagga Wagga City Council is part of an online initiative “Live local. Be local” alongside the Wagga Business Chamber, Women In Business Wagga Wagga, Committee 4 Wagga and BEC Advice as a
new approach to help manage the impacts of COVID-19 on business. The “Live Local. Be Local” campaign is being driven through a new website and Facebook group which aims to be the launching pad for local business operators seeking support or promoting innovative ideas to help boost local economic activity. Council Director Regional Activation Michael Keys said all businesses across the region are invited to be part of the campaign. “This is one measure to establish a support base for local business and how we can all move forward under these extremely challenging conditions,” Mr Keys said. “It is a collaborative approach. We want businesses to work together with industry
groups and support agencies to bring ideas to the table showing how strong and innovative our local community is to tackle these challenges. “Working with leading business groups we want to know how we can help. There is support available and Wagga Wagga City Council wants to work together with these groups to provide assistance and support.” Mr Keys said Council had agreed to a number of initiatives at its Ordinary Meeting on Monday night which will go a long way towards assisting local business. This includes waiving and reducing various fees and charges associated with operating a business. These extend to residential properties and also individuals affected by the current restrictions.
Weekly waste tip Leftover or out of date processed food such as pastries, cakes, cereals, pizza and chips can all go in the green lid bin minus any plastic packaging.
Key areas affected include airport related activities, Gregadoo Waste Management Centre, financial hardship assistance, food and health related activities as well as development applications. Council also approved rent abatements for Council’s commercial tenants, initially for a two-month period. A review will then take place at the end of this period, from 1 June, on a monthly basis. More information about the revised fees and charges will be available on Council’s website. Mr Keys urged local business operators to make themselves familiar with the “Live Local. Be Local” campaign. Continued inside.

Life might be like a box of chocolates for us humans at the moment, but be assured it’s fun times as usual for resident donkeys Forrest and Shrimp at the Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens Zoo and Aviary. Wagga Wagga City Council staff are working every day to ensure the health and wellbeing of all the animals at the zoo despite it being closed to the public amid the pandemic situation. Forrest and Shrimp, the father and son donkeys who delight so many visitors to the zoo, and all the other animals are receiving 100 per cent attention and care from Council staff during the shut down. “All the animals are doing just fine,” zoo curator Kieralee Tori said. “We are giving them plenty of attention visiting the enclosures, feeding and watering them, and taking them on walks to ensure they still have that human contact. “They are all in good

Escape into a good story
Staying home to stop the spread of COVID-19 is a current necessity for most of our community. When we’re accustomed to moving about our city freely, however, and with the added stress and uncertainty of the pandemic, it’s easy to feel claustrophobic in our own houses. But there is an easy way to forget our surroundings – through a good story. The Wagga Wagga City Library building may be closed, but the library is still open online with an incredible array of ebooks, audiobooks, movies and kids’ activities available. Library Services Manager Claire Campbell said stories
were especially important in a time of crisis. “You can go anywhere in a book. You can be in a small apartment or in your house and unable to go anywhere or do anything, but through a book you can escape. You can walk in someone else’s shoes, climb a mountain, fall in love or go on an adventure.” Reading can also help relieve stress. Studies have shown that the act of reading lowers a reader’s heart rate and eases muscle tension. “It’s actually really good for your brain as well, to think about other places. It can help to alleviate your feelings of stress,” Ms Campbell said. “It doesn’t matter what you

choose to read. Some people read books that are beautifully written, others like to read books that take them to another country. “It can be wonderful to learn about history as well. Subjects that may have been fairly dry when you learnt about them at school – when wrapped up in a story – can transport you, leaving you with a much deeper understanding. “There’s so many ways that a book can take you out of a stressed, cramped physical space.” To access the library online, visit rrl.nsw.gov.au/elibrary Library membership is free.
Storytime continues! Library staff delight with online performances Parents with small children will be thrilled to know that Wagga Wagga City Library’s popular Storytime is continuing online. Library staff are recording themselves reading stories – or going on a bear hunt in their own backyard – and posting the videos onto the library’s Facebook page. Library Services Manager Claire Campbell said the library team were doing all they could to help reassure and stay connected with their regular audiences and importantly reach out to new community members who have not participated in Storytime previously. “We thought it was important to continue
Storytime online, because children get to know the team members who read to them each week. “It’s one thing to have a stranger read a book, but if it’s that same person they see when they come into the library and have a laugh with, watching them online is reassuring,” Ms Campbell said. “We think it’s important to keep that relationship going, especially when there’s so many strange things happening. When children see that familiar face and hear their voice, it’s comforting.” Libraries around the world are working to connect with families through online Storytime, and authors are helping by making
their work available. “Lots of authors have lifted the copyright on their books during this pandemic which is why we can read their stories aloud, because normally you can’t broadcast someone else’s work,” Ms Campbell said. “It’s really heartening to see, and we’re having a fantastic response.” Tune in to Storytime at facebook.com/ waggalibrarystorytime Storytime is posted twice weekly. Families can also access Story Box Library through the Riverina Regional Library webpage. Story Box Library is an online space featuring talented Australian authors and writers narrating stories. Access is free to all library members.

COUNCILLOR COLUMN
I commence this column hoping that everyone is well, and that you will remain well. Please make
sure you also help your family remain the same. If you think anyone needs help make sure you contact their family to help them. We all have to ensure we only get together in lots of two, so
please pass this advice on to all your friends. Do not be afraid to go to your doctor or chemist - they will help you. One thing that has been good is that we are having rain - we need to make the

most of it. A few things that I need help with are: If you see some rubbish on our roads please let me know, also if you see signs being painted over or being pushed
over I would be happy to know where they are, maybe if there is anything you think is wrong with a road please let me know as it may save an accident. I am aware that everyone is having
problems that we have not had, and I must thank many of you for helping local businesses. It is not good for them at the moment and I also think of those who are out of work. If you need to
contact me, please do not hesitate: Phone 0402 214 556. If I do not answer leave your number and I will call back.

Reflect Respect: especially when staying at home A familiar face is back on our screens. Sebastian J. Thomas, AKA the modern-day gentleman, is delivering a community message to residents of Wagga Wagga about upholding respectful relationships during the current pandemic. “Now more than ever it is important to think about the little things we say and do every day,” Mr Thomas said. “Everyone is in the same boat, so we all need to look out for each other, our families and our communities.” Mr Thomas is the face of the Reflect Respect campaign, originally developed as part of a prevention strategy to address Wagga’s Domestic and Family
Violence rates, which are higher than the NSW average. The Reflect Respect campaign is informed by the latest Victorian and NSW research, which highlights the importance of respectful relationships. Subtle things we say and do reinforce gender norms and contribute to gender inequality – the main driver of violence against women and their children. The latest community message was developed in consultation with Albury-Wodonga’s Dutch Media, who saw an opportunity for a timely prevention reminder, given the challenges that may arise over the next few months. Equity Project Manager Maryna Bilousova said the message
applied to everyone. “In order to reduce the incidence of domestic family violence in Wagga, we need to change community attitudes, behaviours and norms,” Ms Bilousova said. “Respectful relationships start at home, and with many selfisolating it is important we all look out for each other. Disrespect and gender inequality lead to violence, so if we can shift the way we act and connect with others, we may be able to prevent a rise in incidents.” To find out more about the Reflect Respect campaign or to access the pocket guide online, visit reflectrespect.com.au
RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS: Sebastian J. Thomas AKA the modern-day gentleman is back, reminding us of the importance of taking care of each other through stressful times.

One of the few upsides of the current situation is that more people are outdoors exercising. An important part of dog ownership, the daily walk has seen a sudden rise in popularity. Regulatory Services Coordinator Kathleen Bagshaw said while it was wonderful to see people exercising with their pets, it was critical to keep them on a lead. “While the majority of people are staying at home to help stop the spread of COVID-19, one of the reasons we can leave is to exercise,” Ms Bagshaw said.
A pre-tender site briefing will be held on Tuesday 14 April 2020, 11.00am at the Gregadoo Waste Management Centre, Ashford’s Road Wagga Wagga NSW 2650. Enquiries and registration to attend the pre-tender briefing can be directed via email to barclay.leanne@wagga.nsw.gov. au. Tenders will be assessed on a number of criteria.

But people need to be mindful that while it is important to get out into the fresh air, we need to remain responsible pet owners and make sure our dogs are on a lead.” NSW legislation requires that all dogs in a public place must be under effective control by means of an adequate chain, cord or leash that is attached to the dog and is held by (or secured to) a person. “You might see your dog as friendly, but to other people, especially the
