WAGGA WAGGA CITY COUNCIL Issue 67

Weekly information from us to you

The Independent and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) has deemed Wagga Wagga City Council Fit for the Future in its report released on 20 October.

“This announcement is great news for the city and demonstrates that Council is

equipped to meet the demands of the future and enable continued growth of the Local Government Area,” Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Rod Kendall said.

“At this stage, Council is free to go it alone if we wish, but there may be an adjoining

council who wants to have discussions.”IPART assessed each Council’s proposal

on scale and capacity, and financial criteria including; financial sustainability, infrastructure and service management and efficiency.

“Now that Council has been assessed as fit for the future our focus shifts to implementing the improvement plan identified in Council’s proposal to IPART,” Council’s General Manager Alan Eldridge said.

“The improvement plan will focus on identifying further efficiencies and cost savings as well as additional revenue and redirecting resources to infrastructure maintenance and renewal.”

GET INTO MIX: The sights, scents and sounds of Fusion15 attracted about 10,000 people to the Victory Memorial Gardens on 17 October, with the crowd enjoying everything from L-FRESH The LION (above) to food from around the world.

A grey sky may have hung overhead early, but even the weather couldn’t stop Wagga’s community spirit shining through at Fusion15.

The Victory Memorial Gardens and Civic Precinct burst into life on 17 October for the multicultural street festival with 10,000 people experiencing sights, scents and sounds from around the world.

The bumper crowd was entertained by community performers and headline acts L-FRESH The LION, Mojo Juju, Relfejos Musique and The Dancing Accountant.

Fusion15 also featured circus entertainers to keep the kids occupied, while the free interactive creative arts activities also proved a hit.

The festival was again a paradise for foodies, with the crowd tasting delicacies from Afghanistan, Turkey, and Poland – and everywhere in between.

“Wagga is made up of 98 countries, 99 language groups and 67 faiths,” Council’s Director Environmental and Community Services Janice Summerhayes said.

“Fusion brings together every facet of our community to not only share our cultures and cuisines, but to celebrate our differences.

“A sprinkling of rain didn’t deter the crowds and just meant we were treated to a stunning sunset as L-FRESH took to the stage.”

Fusion15 was proudly funded and presented by Wagga Wagga City Council and Multicultural NSW in partnership with Multicultural Council of Wagga Wagga, Riverina Community College and St Vincent de Paul Society NSW.

As thoughts turn to next year’s Fusion, Council wants your feedback on the 2015 event. Visit wagga.nsw.gov.au/fusion and take the survey for your chance to win a hamper filled to brim with tasty treats.

Community's cultures combine at Fusion15

Paver removal and concreting works have been scheduled for the nature strip fronting 75 Morgan Street.

The works are scheduled to begin on Tuesday 27 October. The JB Hi Fi car park entrance and the rear laneway servicing 75 Morgan Street and 75, 77, 79, 81, 83 and 85 Baylis Street will be closed to through traffic.

The first stage of the project will include the removal of the paved driveway access points, which will be reinstated with asphalt.

Following this, the remainder of the nature strip pavers will be removed in stages and a new concrete nature strip constructed.

To enable these works to be undertaken, Morgan Street will be closed to eastbound traffic and detoured to Baylis Street.

Works will take place from 7am to 6pm and the concreting component is expected to take eight days, while two days have been scheduled for the driveway component.

Timeframes for the project are subject to change and are dependent on weather conditions.

Johnston Street between Trail and Simmons streets will be closed from Tuesday 27 October for the first stage of works that will see the kerb reconstructed and the street trees on the north side of Johnston Street renewed.

The existing trees have reached the end of their useful life and are due for replacement.

Essential Energy vegetation contractors are scheduled to remove the canopies from the trees on the north side of Johnston Street, which will be closed to through traffic between Trail and Simmons Street with detours posted.

Works will be undertaken between 7am and 6pm. The anticipated duration of work is approximately two days, weather permitting, at which time the road will be fully reopened to through traffic.

Additional care should be taken when entering and exiting your

property due to the changed traffic conditions. Traffic control staff will be onsite to facilitate local access for residents and commercial premises.

The works will see the removal of all limbs within close proximity to the overhead power lines, which will then permit Council contractors to remove the remainder of the tree at a later date to be advised.

Following the tree removal works, the existing kerb will be removed and reconstructed for the length of the street from Trail to Simmons Street. These works are expected to start in early November and take three weeks to complete.

Timeframes for this project may be subject to change and are dependent on weather conditions.

The street trees will be replaced in winter 2016 with Chinese Elms as part of the Street Tree Renewal Program.

Council News - A Wagga Wagga City Council publication

Wagga Wagga City Council will consider a master plan for the land east of Marshalls Creek at the Equex site.

The aim of this project is to develop a multipurpose facility that will provide enhanced facilities for equestrian pursuits, as well as a multipurpose indoor arena for the city.

This plan calls for the development of equestrian facilities, which will complement the current development at CSU and cater for a wide variety of

equestrian pursuits in this rapidly expanding area.

The intention is to locate these facilities east of Marshalls Creek away from the current uses of the Equex centre west of Marshall’s Creek.

The report outlines the access roads needed and complements the existing development by planning a new access road south of the

existing centre. This will provide an

additional exit road from the centre onto Kooringal Road for large events at the Equex site.

The plan outlines a staged development of facilities including indoor and outdoor arenas as well as stables, camping areas and spectator facilities.

There is provision in the plan for two bridges across Marshalls Creek. This will provide connectivity with the existing facilities west of Marshall’s Creek.

A number of councillors recently travelled to Tamworth to view the facilities there and were convinced that a multipurpose facility in Wagga would be great for the city as it grows.

An indoor arena would be great for the city as it would provide a venue for a huge variety of activities including shows, sales and showpiece equestrian events.

I urge councillors to support this initiative and city residents to become involved.

This week’s pet is an Irish wolfhound-cross named Penelope.

She has had some training and will obey commands. Penelope is a playful dog and would require a big backyard to romp around in.

You can adopt Penelope from the Glenfield Road Animal Shelter for $323.40. This fee includes microchipping, lifetime registration, first vaccination, desexing and worming.

If you would like to meet Penelope or any of her furry friends, come down to the shelter from Monday to Saturday between 1pm and 4.15pm.

Local families have known for the past 40 years, but now it’s official.

Wagga Wagga Regional Family Day Care (WWRFDC) has just been assessed against the National Quality Standard (NQS) for education and care services and has received an overall rating of “exceeding”.

The NQS sets a national benchmark for the quality of children’s education and care across Australia. Services receive a rating for each of the seven quality areas in the NQS, as well as an overall rating.

“Small groups and personalised attention to children have always been strengths for WWRFDC,” Family Day Care Service Manager Kym Stewart said.

“The standard looks at everything from educational program and practice to children’s safety and wellbeing, as well as the relationship between the educator and families.

“The NQS report commended Wagga Wagga City Council’s commitment to quality and our achievements in providing quality outcomes for children.

“Our educators were also praised for the deep level of knowledge and understanding they have of the children and families that access their services.”

WWRFDC celebrated its 40th anniversary in May and has gone from 30 registered families in 1975 to 250 in 2015.

“At present there are 47 educators licensed by WWRFDC who provide personalised care for children and their families in very small groups,” Ms Stewart said.

“Family day care stretches across the

region from Lockhart to Coolamon and it also offers other unique services like mobile play sessions for rural villages in partnership with Council’s Social Planning department.

“If you are interested in joining our team of ‘exceeding’ educators, or if you think family day care is the perfect fit for your child, contact us today.”

For more information, call the WWRFDC office on 6926 9370 or email fdc@wagga.nsw.gov.au.

To find out more about the National Quality Framework and service ratings, visit the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) website www.acecqa.gov.au.
