Weekly information from us to you Arthur Wicks creation propels historic bridge site into future
BACK AT HOME: Renowned Wagga artist Arthur Wicks beams with pride after witnessing his iconic propeller return to place along the Murrumbidgee River.
One of Wagga Wagga’s most iconic public artworks has regained its pride of place alongside the Murrumbidgee River. The propeller-topped sculpture, titled Event on the Riverbank towards the End of the Twentieth Century, was first installed beside the footings of the Hampden Bridge in 1996. Six metres high and four metres wide, the Arthur Wicks-creation quickly became one of the city’s most iconic large-scale artworks. “I always had an interest in rotators and propeller-like objects. I was hoping this [sculpture] would be more aerodynamic,” Mr Wicks said. In a 1997 interview with the Sun Herald, the acclaimed Wagga Wagga artist described his sculpture as “like something out of Mad Max”. “It’s like a helicopter, or a dragonfly, or a wounded bird, a pterodactyl-like thing that’s crash-landed here,” Mr Wicks declared at the time. Decades after its installation, Mr Wicks was back at the historic site to oversee Wagga Wagga City Council staff give the artwork a new lease on life. “I have cleaned the fibreglass propeller with a high-speed steel brush and revarnished the entire piece," Mr Wicks said The propeller, though awkward to move, isn’t overly heavy, is made of steel and fibreglass. As part of the maintenance work, timed to coincide with the Hampden Bridge Legacy Project, the towering steel structure beneath the propeller also received a much-deserved overall clean.
“We also had some minor repairs carried out to the footings and a weatherproof coating was applied to the structure,” Council Cultural Officer Tim Kurylowicz said. Under the artist’s direction, Council staff replaced a part of the artwork that went missing long ago. “There are three wheels at the bottom (of the artwork) … two bigger wheels and a small one,” Mr Wicks said. “We had to replace the little wheel because it was broken off.” The propeller restoration is part of Council’s ongoing maintenance program of the city’s many public artworks. “We maintain around 50 artworks and sculptures across the city,” Mr Kurylowicz said. “Each year they are inspected, and we prioritise the needs for cleaning, maintenance and repairs. “It’s been a great opportunity to work alongside Arthur Wicks who is a renowned living artist who still resides locally to restore his original vision for the work. “Here’s an artist whose machine sculptures are in the collections of major galleries around Australia and the world - here in Wagga Wagga we have one of his biggest works in a public park for locals and visitors to the City to enjoy and engage with yearround.” Visit publicartwagga.com.au to view the city’s entire collection and discover more about the history and location of each artwork in the City’s public art collection.
Community invited to open new link The finishing touches to the first link in Wagga Wagga’s new 45km cycling network are being rolled out in preparation for next week’s official opening.
Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Greg Conkey OAM will hop aboard a bicycle and test out the new Levee Link to mark the grand opening of this section on Thursday 10 October. The Levee Link is the first section of the Commuter Cycle Network to be completed as part of Wagga Wagga City Council’s
$12.8M Active Travel Plan. It stretches from the Wiradjuri Bridge to Wagga Beach and is the first of 10 routes of high-quality cycle paths to criss-cross the city, providing residents with a safe, alternate transport option. Cr Conkey said the Commuter Cycling Network will enhance the liveability of the city, while also serving as a new attraction for visitors looking to embrace a different recreational activity. “Council is committed to promoting an active and healthy lifestyle,” Cr Conkey said. “A facility such as the cycling network will add to the liveability and accessibility of our city. “This is the largest cycling infrastructure
project taking place in NSW at the moment. It’s a huge boost for Wagga and to see the first link opened is a great step forward in a very worthwhile project. “I can see so many people benefiting from this cycle network – local residents and visitors alike – it’s a fantastic initiative which is a great addition to the city.” In addition to the 45km of cycleways which will link residential parts of Wagga Wagga with the CBD and Charles Sturt University, the project will also provide end-of-ride facilities at two CBD locations, including bicycle parking and amenities. The opening of the Levee Link will soon be followed by the completion of the Red Hill Link in the western section of the cycleway.
Weekly waste tip Avoid missing your bin collection by ensuring that you place the correct bins on the kerbside before 6am on your day of service.
“Construction of the Red Hill Link has started and is progressing well,” Council’s Director Commercial Operations Caroline Angel said. “Council will have a rolling delivery program of the different links over the next 18 months.” The Active Travel Plan is expected to be completed in 2021. The opening on Thursday 10 October is set to take place around 12 noon with a community event and barbecue. It will take place at the levee bank at the intersection of Fitzmaurice and Crampton streets, near the Hampden Bridge Legacy Project area.
Thousands spring into holidays at festival Up to 5000 visitors descended on the Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens to kick off the school holidays in style with Spring Jam. Now in its second year, the outdoor festival offered something for everyone, with a variety of zones catering to diverse interests and ages. The challenging, eight-metre-high rock-climbing wall proved a huge hit, along with the In-Motion-Fitness obstacle course, Creative Zone and hilarious performances by The Dancing Accountant. “We were so lucky to have such perfect weather,” Council’s Events Officer Sally Manning said. “The Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens are such are wonderful space. It was fantastic to see so many families
sharing picnics together and enjoying all of the activities on offer.” Mrs Manning was thrilled to see plenty of young visitors dancing up a storm in front of the main stage, captivated by popular festival acts like The Cope Street Parade and Bunny Racket. “Children’s rock and roll performers, Bunny Racket, were also a huge hit,” Mrs Manning said. “Their performances were full of energy, and the kids and adults just loved them.” In a first for the festival, Eastern Riverina Arts supplied an all-inclusive, fully accessible space for families to visit throughout the day. “It was great to see so many families popping into
Platform to have a little bit of downtime,” Mrs Manning said. “Platform is such a good space for anyone needing to just chill-out for a while. “It’s a very sensory rich environment, where kids can relax under weighted blankets, use tactile objects or listen to calming music.” In exciting news, Spring Jam will return to the Botanic Gardens on Saturday 26 September 2020. “I’m really excited to see how we can grow the festival going forward, and what new and exciting additions we’ll be able to unveil next year,” Mrs Manning said. Spring Jam 2019 was supported by the NSW Government through the Incubator Event Fund 2019.

NEW FAMILY ROOM RECEIVES ‘FANTASTIC’ RATING The Australian Breastfeeding Association has awarded Wagga Wagga City Council’s new Family Room in the Civic Centre arcade the maximum 5-star rating through its Baby Care Room Awards program. Council’s new Family Room has been designed to enable carers to feed and change young children in their care in a comfortable and welcoming space, earning high praise from the Australian Breastfeeding Association Wagga group.

COUNCILLOR COLUMN These days it’s impossible to pick up the local paper without seeing the community calling for local action on climate change. We also saw around 1,000 people rally for action last month. I often wonder at what point, if ever, our
leaders will recognise this isn’t going to get better unless they, and we, act. How bad does it have to get to say, “you know what, maybe this is actually an issue?” How long can a person keep using You Tube videos to argue their point while the evidence and lived experiences of the impacts of climate change continue to
increase? For those who argue the costs are too high, at what point do you say, “the costs are too high not to”? If that is the basis of your arguments that’s fine but quantify them. What is the tipping point for when it becomes worthy of consideration? How many people need to rally in our city before you think it’s
0418 445 131 | councillor.keenan@wagga.nsw.gov.au
worthy of attention? How many scientists need to provide evidence? How many religious leaders or health professionals need to say we have to act? How many animals need to become extinct? By how much do the global temperatures need to rise? How many years of
recurring drought? You can always trawl the internet to find a YouTube video or a scientist somewhere in the world who is paid to say something you agree with. Remember the tobacco industry’s scientists and health professionals saying, “nothing to see here folks”? Therefore, the voice of young people is so
powerful. They have no vested interests to protect, they only have their future. They base their arguments on fact. There is a lot of fear amongst those denying climate change is happening. Perhaps it’s worth exploring why someone is so opposed, what does
taking action mean to them? Loss of income, loss of credibility, loss of votes? Maybe then, we can get to a point of talking about the real drivers of climate denialism and find a way to work together to reduce the impacts here in Wagga.

Drivers urged to avoid areas where invasive weeds are present Wagga drivers planning to hit the open road these school holidays are being warned to remain vigilant against a potentially pesky hitchhiker. A variety of invasive weeds are found within the Wagga Wagga City Council area that have the potential to pose a serious risk to the region’s natural environment and agricultural production. Since 2014, Council has been involved in the Red Guide Post Project, an initiative aiming to assist in reducing the spread of invasive and priority weeds along roadsides. The red posts, similar in appearance to the more common, white guide posts, are an
