18.01.2022 Next up on our Spotlight on Jindabyne series is Steve Cuff, editor of the local Snowy Mountains Magazine. Not much goes on around town that Steve doesnt know about, and as a local business owner, it was great to catch up with Steve about his vision for this growing town.

18.01.2022 No one knows a community better than those who live, work, and play there. Thats why, as part of the Go Jindabyne Masterplan, weve created this Spotlight on Jindabyne series to learn more about the town and its people. Heres our first episode of the series, featuring Ian Grant and Lara Worsley, School Captains at Jindabyne Central School.

17.01.2022 The vision for the Snowies 3/5: Sustainability + Wellness Most of us have heard of the term carbon neutral, where carbon emissions are offset enough to have a neutral impact on the environment. But given the vulnerable alpine environment of Kosciuszko National Park, we want to go one step further... Were not just striving for a neutral impact. We want a positive impact. Thats why were aspiring to be carbon negative, by reducing our emissions, supporting carbon sequestr...ation technologies, and offsetting more carbon emissions than we emit. We also see a renewable future for the Snowies that involves shifting to clean energies and building green infrastructure to reduce our ecological footprint and stimulate the regional economy. Needless to say, this ones my favourite of our five aspirations for the future!

16.01.2022 We need your assistance! The SAP project is not getting enough input from small to medium sized business and this could impact our collective futures. Please consider this survey- its takes only 10mins, however its impact may be felt for a long long time. http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/snowymountains
13.01.2022 I am pleased to advise that Rex Airlines has reversed their previous decision and will continue to fly between Cooma and Sydney. I met with Deputy Chair John S...harp earlier this month and he made it clear to me that unless the Federal Government continued with the Regional Aviation Network Support program then the airline simply couldn't afford to keep flying to Cooma in the current economic climate. That support has now been extended until September 2021. Fares for travel from April onwards will be available for sale this evening. Qantas will also be operating flights from Sydney to Cooma and Brisbane to Cooma over the ski season. It's been a tough 12 to 18 months for the Snowy Monaro, with two airlines flying into the region I am keen to make sure we position ourselves to make the most of this opportunity.

13.01.2022 Further to the story yesterday on the trace of Covid found in Perisher sewage. This response today to say Perisher is NOT a hotspot From the NSW Health Departme...nt. There has been some misinterpretation of yesterdays media statement about the SARC-CoV-2 virus detection in the sewage in Perisher. This is NOT the same has having a positive COVID-19 case in the community. Perisher is NOT a Hotspot as there have been NO cases of COVID-19 detected here to date. Perisher IS an area of increased surveillance. We are asking anyone who is in Perisher, or has been to Perisher in the last 2 weeks to CLOSELY MONITOR FOR SYMPTOMS. If you have ANY SYMPTOMS (even very mild) PLEASE GET TESTED and ISOLATE awaiting your results. Please also remind your staff and guests to be vigilant with hygiene, cleaning and physical distancing. The Perisher clinic is currently operating 9:30 2:00 pm everyday from the NPWS building until further notice to encourage additional testing. We do NOT need to test otherwise healthy staff in the Valley at this stage. If there are any changes to this situation we will let you know.

11.01.2022 The vision for the Snowies 1/5: Adventure + Ecotourism The vision is looking to transform Australias premier snowsport destination into a year-round alpine mecca. The Snowies are the most seasonal tourism region in all of Australia, with approximately 60% of its economic activity taking place within three months of the year during peak winter season, and the remaining 40% spread across the other nine months. By attracting, incentivising, and planning for more adventure and... ecotourism attractions like mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, camping, ziplining, bungy jumping, waterskiing, and fishing, well transform the Snowies into a place youll want to visit during every season.

05.01.2022 Australias economy is made up of 3.5 million powerhouse local, small businesses. They keep their local economies going, employ locals, and contribute to local... community organisations like sports groups or school fairs. Australia just wouldnt be the same without them. Theyre our Go-to People. DM us a small business you love with your story about them, so we can share it with the rest of Australia.
05.01.2022 The vision for the Snowies 4/5: Design + Culture Its no question that when Sydneysiders, Canberrans, or people in regional NSW think of a winter getaway, they think of the Snowy Mountains - the only local option for snow. But when we think about why people might visit the area outside of winter, the Snowies have to compete against beach holidays along the NSW coast, hiking holidays in the blue mountains, wine tasting in the hunter valley, and a range of other destinations ...across the state and country. The future of the Snowy Mountains will showcase its unique experiences on offer: a character-filled, liveable, and lakeside alpine town; a vibrant waterfront with cafes and restaurants that spill out along the lake; opportunities to learn about Aboriginal culture and heritage; and food and wine trails dotted with craft breweries, artisan distilleries, cellar doors, and farm-to-table experiences.

03.01.2022 Further support for primary producers and small businesses in bushfire communities Primary producers impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires will benefit from expanded eligibility for the $75,000 Special Disaster Recovery Grant and timeframe changes with small businesses also given more time to request support. There will be some key eligibility criteria changes for the $75,000 recovery grant and include: Removal of the off-farm income threshold where an applicants income from p...rimary production is less than 50 per cent of their total income. Allowing extra time for applicants to reach the 50 per cent income threshold in recognition of long lead times required by some sectors to reach full production. Applicants are no longer required to be registered for GST but must still hold an ABN. Businesses earning more than 50 per cent of their income from a combination of primary production and goods made directly from that produce will now be eligible for assistance. Special disaster loan bushfire: Bushfire working capital loan - o $50,000 for essential expenses e.g. wages, rent, goods or services, fodder for livestock or transporting produce. o Available to primary producers, small businesses and not for profits that were directly impacted by the fire. Bushfire Recovery loan - o $500,000 for larger investments e.g. replacing or repairing damaged infrastructure. o Available to primary producers, small businesses and not for profits that were directly impacted by the fire.

02.01.2022 The vision for the Snowies 5/5: Infrastructure + Connections The last of our five part series for our vision for Australias Snowy Mountains, is all about connections. We want to improve access to the mountains, and so were investigating whether a new airport in Jindabyne will do just that. We also want to improve visitor experience in the region, with public transport between Jindabyne and the resorts, better managed roads and parking, and a more walkable, cyclable, and ...accessible town centre. And if the past few months have taught us anything, its that digital connectivity is important too, so the Snowies of the future will embrace technology to improve quality of life and visitor experience.
