Wagga Wagga’s new two-week long winter festival, Festival of W, is about to hit the half-way point and there’s still plenty of reasons for people to brave the winter chill and head down to the Civic Centre Precinct. Building on the success of the festival’s opening week, festival goers can look forward to more activations offering a range of experiences for all ages between now and the end of the school holidays, from live music, interactive sound and light installations and the pop-up ice-skating rink. Destination and Events Coordinator Kimberly Parker said the curated program for week two kicks off on Saturday 9 July from 4pm – 8pm. “We will have a great line-up of musicians including Yorta Yorta singer songwriter Benny Walker, supported by James Bennett along with local musicians taking to the stage on the stairs in front of the Historic Council Chambers,” Ms Parker said. “Food and drink vendors will be in Morrow Street and O’Reilly Street carpark, so there will be plenty of tasty winter treats and beverages to enjoy and keep you warm. “The new Airship Orchestra lighting and sound installation has just been installed on Thursday in the Civic Centre forecourt.

READY TO GO: The public seating platforms have been constructed off-site in preparation for their installation on Fitzmaurice Street

Parklets set to activate Fitzmaurice Street

6971 4651 | graswagga.com.au

Eleven parklets will be installed along both sides of Fitzmaurice Street next week, as part of a project to improve the amenity of the area. Wagga Wagga City Council was successful in securing a $271,000 grant from the NSW Government’s ‘Your High Street’ program, which promotes permanent improvements to the amenity and functionality of streets for the benefit of local economies and public well-being. Council’s Strategic Asset Planner Ben Creighton said the funding has already provided the installation of decorative lighting along Fitzmaurice Street and safety lighting along the levee bank path to the Riverside precinct. “The installation of parklets is the final element in the project,” Mr Creighton said.

“The public seating platforms will provide additional spaces for the community to socialise and connect when using Fitzmaurice Street.” Typically, a parklet is the extension of the footpath into a parking area, however in this project Council is preserving the parking and using the wide footpaths instead. “To minimise the impact on businesses, the installation work will be done outside of business hours as some parking spaces will be temporarily unavailable for a period of up to two hours.” Mr Creighton said.

All done! Dobney Pearson upgrade finished The upgrade of two of Wagga Wagga’s busiest roads is now complete with line marking applied this week on the newly rehabilitated Dobney Avenue and Pearson Street. A total of 1.4 kilometres of road including the two roundabouts outside of Bunnings was upgraded as part of the $5.6 million project. Works included the milling out of existing pavement, putting in a thick layer of asphalt pavement and overlaying a continuous asphaltic concrete wearing layer along the length of both roads and roundabouts. Wagga Wagga City Council Director Infrastructure Services Warren Faulkner said it is great to see another project completed, with Dobney Avenue and Pearson Street now rehabilitated. “I have no doubt that this project has had the most notable improvement in ride quality for motorists of all the projects we have done over the last 12 months and it is an outcome that has been

long overdue,” Mr Faulkner said. “The roads now have a thicker stronger base course to cater for Higher Mass Loading Limits. This is important as there is a lot of commercial vehicle movement along these routes and within this precinct.” The nightworks began in April this year with Dobney Avenue completed first followed by Pearson Street and lastly the two roundabouts. Mr Faulkner commended the work of Council contractors Fulton Hogan who despite wet weather managed to complete the project over 34 nightshifts. “We hope the community will be happy with the results and we thank motorists and local businesses for their patience while the work was being carried out,” he said. The project was funded by the Australian Government in association with the NSW Government and Wagga Wagga City Council.

Landmark development forging ahead From front page Once the RiFL Hub and Industrial subdivision are operational there will be substantial activity throughout the precinct. Construction Supervisor - Civil Infrastructure Projects Matthew Casley said works have been progressing well on the 60-hectare industrial subdivision - Stage 3 of the RiFL Hub project, which is funded through the NSW Government Restart NSW – Growing Local Economies Program. “Storm water and sewer are done and we are now working on getting electrical and potable water services installed, as well as street lighting

and NBN fibre network.” Mr Casley said. “The RiFL Hub is the biggest project Council has undertaken and it is a landmark development for Wagga Wagga and surrounding region. “It will transform opportunities for transportation of goods in and out of this area and has the potential to drive the economic future of the city for decades to come.” The RiFL Hub project has been funded by NSW Government (Fixing Country Rail and Restart NSW - Growing Local Economies programs), Wagga Wagga City Council and Visy Logistics.

Local print makers collaborate on new exhibition at Art Gallery Works by three of the region’s most well-recognised print makers, Christina Reid, Liz Perfect and Juanita McLauchlan, will feature in a new collaborative exhibition Light in Shadow, opening at the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery on Friday 8 July. The exhibition showcases the flora and fauna of the Murrumbidgee River. Using the medium of printmaking and its various technical forms, each artist offers a unique insight to a very special environment and living surrounds. Exhibiting artist Christina Reid said, “we have all tried to express what is most precious to each of us about this place”. “We are hoping that audiences can take time to observe our beautiful local environment and, in their own way, express how it enriches their own lives.” Gallery Director Dr Lee-Anne Hall said the Gallery is delighted to present Light in Shadow. “Nurtured in the print studios at TAFE Riverina in Wagga Wagga, this exhibition is a fine example of collaborative artist practice where

artists share the making of artwork, alongside the environmental ideas and concerns,” Dr Hall said. Gamilaraay artist Juanita McLauchlan expressed her excitement to launch Light in Shadow during this year’s NAIDOC week celebrations. McLauchlan, whose work explores the history and role of river stones in the Murrumbidgee River, commented that “the river is the lifeline of our community”. Both McLauchlan and Reid will join the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery’s school holiday program delivering three creative art workshops as part of Winter Art Camp for kids and teens. Liz Perfect will host two artist talks and print lab demonstrations, at 11am on Saturday and Sunday, 9 -10 July. The exhibition is part of the Regional Artists Development program which is funded under the State Government’s Create NSW Arts and Cultural Funding Program. Light in Shadow is on display from Friday 8 July until Sunday 17 July in the E3 art space at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.
