All products are disinfected before use. Where can donations be made? • Customer Service, Civic Centre, cnr Baylis and Morrow streets, Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5pm • Glenfield Road Animal Shelter, Monday to Friday from 1pm to 4.15pm Donations will be accepted up until Christmas and during the new year period.

SANTA PAWS: Glendfield Road Animal Shelter (GRAS) Animal Welfare Officer Keli Stephens, with a kelpie-border collie cross puppy, and Customer Service Team Leader Meredith Hester, with Hazel a 12-month-old kelpie, and some of the items people can donate to the GRAS Animal Wishing Tree appeal.
Help make Christmas pawsome Can you help be a Santa Paws this festive season? While most people will be home for Christmas, some of the region’s four-legged residents won’t be so fortunate. Traditionally, the Glenfield Road Animal Shelter (GRAS) tends to have no room at the inn during Christmas and into the new year. In preparation for the higher occupancy, the Shelter is looking for donations of blankets, toys, pet carriers and dry and canned dog

and cat food. “Donations to the shelter are important and helpful throughout the year, but at Christmas time we are always looking for a little extra help,” GRAS Animal Welfare Supervisor Julie McPhail said. “Wagga Wagga City Council staff have been making donations to the Animal Wishing Tree appeal since 2009. This year any community members that would also like to make a donation to the appeal can do so.
• Ready-made and custom hampers • Local produce and gifts • Regional wine, beer and cider
“Each donation is used to help make the stay for any animals that come into our care over the festive season that little bit more comfortable. “Christmas is the season of joy and giving which can also extend to our four-legged friends.” The appeal is also a timely reminder of responsible pet ownership and that pets are friends for life, not just for Christmas. “Pets are wonderful friends that give
unconditional love, but they are a huge responsibility and owners must provide for the animal's entire life,” Ms McPhail said. “When thinking about getting a pet, remember all the factors in having one – food, training, veterinary care, shelter and be sure that you can provide all of these. “If thinking of giving a pet as a Christmas gift, make sure the recipient is willing to accept all the responsibilities of having a furkid.”

PLAYTIME: Works and Playground Officer John Conlan at Lingiari Drive Playground.
Christmas comes early for Lloyd with new playground As the weather warms up, a number of new playgrounds will be popping up across the city. Lloyd residents are being treated to an early Christmas present, with a new playground at Lingiari Drive park having been installed in record time. Over the coming weeks, the finishing touches will take place at Lingiari Drive park with a shelter, tables, half basketball court and advanced trees scheduled to be installed and planted. Ashmont, Kooringal and central Wagga Wagga residents can also get excited for new playgrounds that will be coming their way this summer, during January and February. Recently,
online polls were held for residents to vote for their favourite design from the three options shortlisted for each location. Thank you to everyone who took the time to cast their vote for their favourite playground design. A total of 237 votes were received. The winning designs can be viewed at wagga.nsw.gov.au/ playgrounds. Playground upgrades are delivered on an ongoing basis across the city, in line with the Playground Strategy 2016 – 2036. The strategy outlines when each playground within the Local Government Area is proposed to be upgraded.

Want to be in Santa’s good books this Christmas? Returning for 2017, Food for Fines is Wagga Wagga City Library’s way of gifting its members the chance to erase any fines they may have accumulated for overdue library items throughout the year. All members need to do is donate non-perishable food items, and their fines will disappear just like Santa Claus back up the chimney. The Christmas campaign, now in its 18th year, will help stock up the Salvation Army’s pantry during the busy holiday season. “Even if you don’t have any library fines, you can still come

Council News - A City of Wagga Wagga publication
Slow down, stop and help keep our staff safe Wagga Wagga City Council is urging all drivers to obey temporary roadwork signs and traffic controller signals after a number of recent incidents. One example occurred on Baylis Street between Morrow and Johnston streets when gardening staff had to move out of the way of a driver that had ignored the
traffic controller’s stop sign. Council’s Manager Operations Stephen Jewell said it was unfortunately becoming a regular occurrence at work sites across the Local Government Area. “Not only are you breaking the law, you are putting our staff, other drivers and yourself at risk of injury or worse,” Mr Jewell said.
“Roads are under traffic control not only for roadworks, but for other maintenance works and drivers might not be able to see where workers are. “Fortunately the majority of motorists do the right thing and we thank them for their patience while we undertake various projects around the city.
“To those other drivers our message is to please slow down, stop when signalled by a traffic controller and obey the temporary roadwork signs.” Council experienced similar issues following last year's minor flood when some drivers moved road closed barriers from roads closed due to water damage.
TEMPORARY ROADWORK SIGNS • These signs are used at roadworks. Slow down, look out for any hazards and be prepared to stop. • You must obey any signal from a traffic controller and give way to any worker. • Speed limit signs at work zones are enforceable and must be obeyed. • www.rms.gov.au/roadrules

COMING SOON: Comedian, actor and writer Damian Callinan talks about his upcoming play The Hall Committee at the Civic Theatre Season 2018 launch.
The Civic Theatre will be taking a short break from the limelight early next year before its diverse Season 2018 gets underway. Contemporary music, circus, Shakespeare, opera and more all feature in next year’s program, but not before the theatre’s much-needed refurbishment is complete. The theatre has hosted more than 500,000 patrons across 1700-plus shows since its last major works in 2000, while the backstage area was upgraded in 2010. The Civic Theatre will be closed from January to March next year as part of a more than $700,000 project that will see new seats, new carpet, contemporary furnishings and fittings and a complete makeover of the balcony. “The start of the year is traditionally our quiet period so the works will have minimal impact on the community,” Civic Theatre Manager Carissa Campbell said. “We’ve been planning this project since 2015 and along with the cosmetic upgrades like paint and fittings, there will be some important changes. “Our new seats will be the same as the ones in the Sydney Opera House and the balcony will be transformed into an allweather entertainment area.” Once the work is complete, the theatre’s

Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz has left audiences entranced after a run of 10 sold out shows featuring a glorious mixture of green, magical talent. Many months of rehearsals and work behind the scenes paid off with nearly 5000 people seeing the spectacle of Wicked across the 10 shows. “Selling out every show was a fantastic reward for the cast and crew who put in so much of their time to make Wicked a success,” Civic Theatre Manager Carissa Campbell said the post “The community productions take a tremendous amount of work from everyone involved and I would like to thank everyone who played a part and to the thousands who came and saw the show.” The Civic Theatre’s first community
production was in 2004, at a time when no other local groups were producing musicals. Thirteen years later, many groups are regularly producing high quality shows and providing opportunities in music theatre, such as Bidgee Theatre Productions, Affinity Entertainment and Specialist Medical Resources Foundation (SMRF). With Wagga Wagga’s performing arts scene thriving, Ms Campbell said the Civic Theatre can now change its focus on creating different opportunities for local performers, writers and artists. “Our focus in the past has been to provide opportunities for people to perform in musical theatre and with so many quality productions across the city we are now able to pass the baton to those local groups and watch them continue to flourish,” Ms Campbell said.
Season 2018 will get underway in March with a free community concert by the Australian Army Band Kapooka to mark the official reopening. Ms Campbell said Season 2018 has a mix of shows and productions that will cater to a range of audiences. “There is a lot of Australian talent being showcased in 2018, starting with the Flying Fruit Fly Circus’ performance of Junk,” she said. “Kate Miller-Heidke will be bringing her band and a string quartet for a stunning concert, while James Morrison will return by popular demand with his James Morrison Academy Jazz Orchestra. “We will also be featuring Opera Australia’s production of Madame Butterfly, the award-winning darkly comedic political thriller A Prudent Man, the comedy The Orchid & The Crow, the political lampooning of The Wharf Revue and Bell Shakespeare’s Julius Ceasar.” To discover the full Season 2018 and take part in the Civic Theatre’s subscription offer, visit civictheatre.com.au or contact 6926 9688. The Civic Theatre’s upgrade is funded through a Create NSW capital infrastructure grant of $60,000 and the remainder from Council’s Section 94 contributions fund.

The Wagga Wagga community will be offered the chance to develop their performing arts skills through workshops, opportunities and more through the Civic Theatre. The theatre has been working on ways to help foster more local content by working with the local industry to develop new works and provide performance opportunities for young and emerging artists. “The Civic Theatre has an ongoing commitment to work with the community in many ways including
specialised workshops, education programs and performance opportunities,” Manager Carissa Campbell said. “We’re currently developing a new play, The Hall Committee, by playwright, actor and comedian Damian Callinan whose film The Merger has been filmed in Wagga Wagga this year. “The Hall Committee will be workshopped in Wagga Wagga next year and will employ local professional artists. “We are also in the early stages of developing
NE W R UL E S F OR T E MP OR A R Y E V E N T S IGN A GE Event organisers are set to gain certainty about where and how they can promote their upcoming events, as a result of Wagga Wagga City Council’s new guidelines for temporary event signage. To date, it has been unclear as to where temporary event signage can be placed resulting in inconsistencies in both approvals and policing of signage. New guidelines have been developed based on the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and relevant State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs) for the placement of temporary event signage across the city. “These guidelines clearly outline who is eligible to erect temporary signage and the process they need to follow when promoting their event,” Wagga Wagga City Council's Director Community Janice Summerhayes said. “We want to assist in the promotion of
local events, ensure they are promoted in appropriate locations, and stem any confusion that previously has resulted in the removal of temporary signage.” Event organisers can now choose from eight approved locations for displaying their temporary event signage. The eight locations are: • Jubilee Park, Corner Red Hill Rd and Bourke Street • Lake Albert, Corner Lake Albert Road and Lakeside Drive • Hampden Avenue, North Wagga, near Wilks Park • Corner of Macleay Street and Lord Baden Powell Drive • Lake Albert Road, near Copland Street • Corner of Tarcutta and Cross Street • Cox Park, Kincaid Street • Bolton Park, Tarcutta Street
“Council’s changes will make it much easier for us to advertise our local events and we look forward to displaying our temporary event signage at the approved locations across the city,” Tiny Tykes Markets founder Donna Field said. Infrastructure to display signs will be erected at each of the approved locations. Eligible event holders must be a not-for-profit incorporated organisation or a commercial organisation promoting a community event, with the proposed event taking place in Wagga Wagga Local Government Area. Each event holder will be eligible to erect up to six signs to advertise their community event, including a maximum of four in approved locations and two at the event location. View the full list of conditions, assess your eligibility or apply for a booking at wagga.nsw.gov.au/temporaryeventsigns.
a new stage work with Dane Simpson and Dane Kennedy.” The Civic Theatre is also creating a new youth music program that will provide skill development and performance opportunities for young artists. Staff are also finalising the details of a work experience program to be offered in June 2018, with more details to come next year. School holiday and after school performing arts workshops are also being developed.
GRADER W O R K S AT DUNNS ROAD Dunns Road is closed for necessary grader maintenance of the road. Works started this week and will run until December 22 (weather permitting). Work hours are between 7am and 5.30pm with the road open as normal outside these hours. Signs will be in place and local access will be maintained. In August Council resolved to engage an external engineer to develop a high level concept and estimate for development required for Dunns Road. The report will allow Council to make a determination on the future of the road from financial and strategic perspectives.

Councils across NSW face many shared challenges, not least the hurdles in the NSW planning systems. A motion to fast track rezoning that is supported by councils and establish a service standard for Planning NSW was carried. A lot of heated discussions centred around several environment issues, particularly climate change. It was pleasing to see the conference move to lobby the NSW Government to
ban single-use plastic bags. Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) are an important mechanism for reconciliation within the community. Council staff here in Wagga are currently developing a RAP and the conference passed a motion that all Councils in NSW do so. As well as clearly articulating pathways for better cultural understanding within organisations, a RAP can assist in delivering social change and economic
opportunities for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. With so many councils and councillors representing communities across NSW, it’s reassuring to see vigorous debate, discussions and networking occurring for the purpose of making our cities, towns, suburbs and villages better places.
