12.01.2022 Centralian Advocate & The NT News. Written by Central Australia's very own jet setting, Lachlan Wills. Dave Fendt is the Business Manager at Kennards Hire in Alice Springs. Learn more about Dave, his journey with family and business in the Territory. A real-world role model to inspire us all: The Dave Fendt story... ALICE Springs family man, business manager and motorsport enthusiast Dave Fendt is a bloke you can’t help but respect and admire greatly and the more you learn about him, the more that admiration grows. DAVE Fendt is one of those blokes you instantly just love. And that great initial vibe is then proven right with everything he does. Humble, honest and bloody good fun to be around, as a husband, dad, son, mate and boss he absolutely excels. He is someone you respect and admire greatly. And the more you learn and about Dave Fendt, the more that admiration grows. Dave was born in Adelaide in 1986, but spent most of his childhood growing up with little sister Sheree in Port Lincoln. We lived at my grandparents’, and that was really cool, he said. They played a big role in bringing my sister and me up. We lived a 500m walk from the jetty. After school I’d go fishing and catch whiting. My grandpa taught me how to fillet them, and my grandma taught me how to cook them. I tried my hardest to play sports. I played footy with Marble Range. They were a good club and I was an ordinary player! I played baseball with North Shields Tigers I loved that sport, but I was hopeless. It was a great team though, and we won the premiership every year. In Easter 2000, Dave moved to Alice aged 13. I changed schools a lot as a kid, so much so and I’m a left-hander- I never got my pen licence!, he said. I was not an academic, but I made lifelong friends out of high school. I finished and passed Year 12. I didn’t want to be there, but I didn’t want to drop out and not have anything worthwhile to do. Commitment to the cause and the work ethic and discipline to follow through are defining characteristics of Dave Fendt. And Dave says a lot of credit for that goes to his dad, Graham. Dad definitely put a lot of my work values in to me, he said. Even when I got my first job as a kid working at Hungry Jacks, he said, ‘mate, you just need to make sure you’re 15 minutes early, and you leave 10 minutes late. And my stepmum Vicky has been just like a mum to me. Dave says his little sister Sheree is also very special to him. She’s cool, she’s loving life, living in Perth now, so I don’t get to see enough of her, but we still speak a fair bit, he said. She’s with a great guy, Jason, and they’ve got two awesome little girls.

09.01.2022 Today we hear from Tim Watsford, CEO, Northern Territory Major Events Company about events in the time of COVID 19, the impact for the Territory and the opportunities going forward. Thank you, Tim and NT Major Events Company for contributing to our weekly blogs. What a year 2020 was...... COVID-19 reared its ugly head in Australia just before the start of the Territory’s packed events season. We were busy preparing for Parrtjima in Alice Springs in April, Darwin’s BASSINTHEGRASS in May, Territory Day across the NT, and the Darwin Triple Crown in July. We had Red CentreNATS planned for September, and Alice Springs Masters Games scheduled for October. But everything screeched to a halt on Friday, 13 March, with Federal Government restrictions on large gatherings. As locals, we know events are a huge part of life in the Territory - and important to our economy so we were determined to do what we could to deliver as many of our events as possible. This meant rethinking everything we’ve ever done to find innovative new ways to meet new requirements and restrictions. Thankfully, after working closely with the Department of Health, in August we delivered a Supercars doubleheader in Darwin (the first in the country), followed by Red CentreNATS in September (with 750 entrants showing off their pride and joy to thousands of attendees). Just a week later, five months later than it was supposed to take place, we successfully delivered Parrtjima after working closely with Traditional Owners through the Parrtjima Festival Reference Group. What did this mean for the Territory? It meant we were in the national spotlight as a unique destination able to deliver what others couldn’t an unforgettable experience for visitors, complete with major events. Equally important, it meant opportunities for Territorians and Territory businesses.
