25.01.2022 As 2020 draws to a close thank you to all the volunteers who have contributed so much over the past 12 months



25.01.2022 At its September Ordinary Meeting, LPSC resolved to reduce the charges to sporting facility user groups by 50 per cent for the 2020/21 financial year. LPSC Mayor, Councillor Doug Hawkins OAM, said Council had received several requests from sporting facility user groups seeking a reduction in fees as COVD-19 impacted their clubs ability to run events, thus reducing their capacity to raise funds to pay the fees. LPSC acknowledges the importance of sport and recreation to the... community and, as such during normal times, user fees are determined on a 30 per cent cost recovery basis with Council providing a significant subsidy to assist the user groups, many of which are organised and run by volunteers. The reduction for the rest of this financial year reduces that cost recovery to fifteen percent, he said. It is important that everything possible is done to assist these organisations to make it through the pandemic, so they continue to operate where possible now and into the future. No club has sought a total waiving of the fees, acknowledging that Council still incurs costs to maintain and operate these facilities even with lower usage, he continued. It is Council policy and part of the Community Strategic Plan to support local groups, including sporting, youth and recreational organisations. Community interest in sport and recreation was evident as Council developed the LP Recreation Strategy. Council is now embarking on the biggest investment in its history towards sport and recreation. Funding has been secured to the value of $3,117,950 to commence implementation of the Showground Precinct and the Quirindi Sporting Fields Precinct projects as well as funding from other sources for further developments at David Taylor Oval Werris Creek and recreation grounds in our smaller communities. There are exciting times ahead for sport and recreation in the Liverpool Plains Shire, he concluded.

24.01.2022 NO SPACE FOR WEEDS - Click on accompanying link Following recent rains, and after several years of extreme drought, the season is ripe for an explosion of priority weeds. A Centre for Invasive Species report examined the economic costs of weeds to Australia. The startling conclusion is that it is an overall impost of $5 billion annually (that’s almost $14 million a day). 90% of this cost is borne by agriculture, representing a tremendous burden on a sector that is so important to the LP economy. Landowners can contact LPSC’s Biosecurity Officer, Mike Whitney, on 0427 961 980 for advice on how they can achieve their General Biosecurity duty under the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015. https://youtu.be/naExs9U0DHI

21.01.2022 Improved water irrigation system turned on at Werris Creek’s David Taylor Oval Following the rehabilitation of a bore, the installation of a new pump and 54,000 litre capacity storage tanks plus the replacement of old sprinkler heads, the tap was turned on and the new irrigation system at Werris Creek’s David Taylor Oval sprang to life. David Taylor Oval is used by residents of all ages for sport and recreation and is an important facility for the people of Werris Creek so it...’s great to see this latest part of the Oval’s upgrades completed. . The new irrigation system is part of a $247,549 project funded through the State Government’s Stronger Country Communities Program, which Council was successful in obtaining. Council acknowledges the support of Member for Tamworth, Kevin Anderson, for this project. It has already seen the completion of an amenities block with toilets and showers, a picnic table and associated shading, the widening of the Oval’s entry gates and improved fencing. To further improve amenity for locals and visitors landscaping of the area will be undertaken and include additional trees and shrubs and raised garden beds which will also enhance separation between the BBQ area and public amenities. These improvements compliment the Ron Dellar Grandstand which was constructed in 2018 and the new storage shed for the Magpies Rugby League Club completed as part of an earlier stage of the project. The precinct has also benefited from the construction of a new pathway connecting the Werris Creek CBD to the Oval. These projects wouldn’t have happened without the strong community backing necessary to support Council’s successful grant funding applications. Where possible, local contractors undertook the considerable work involved and Werris Creek now has a sporting precinct that befits the Magpies home ground plus serving other local sporting organisations and the recreation requirements of the community.

18.01.2022 Advice from NSW Health NSW is now at a critical point in our fight against COVID-19. COVID-19 is still circulating in our community and the risk of outbreaks remains. NSW Health is doing all we can to keep the virus at bay, but we can only do so much without the help of the wider community. We are urging everyone to continue to come forward for testing at the first sign of symptoms, no matter how mild, and to ensure that we don’t stop practicing COVID safe behaviours.... Remember, the best protection against COVID-19 is to do all of the following: > Stay home and get tested immediately if unwell > Keep 1.5m apart from people you don’t live with > Wash your hands regularly > Wear a mask if unable to physically distance. Even if you’re wearing a face mask, it’s really important to keep your distance from others, unless you live together. > Gather outdoors where possible and make sure that indoor spaces are well ventilated.

15.01.2022 New Glenyalla Road bridge nears completion The contractors engaged by Liverpool Plains Shire Council (LPSC) to construct the new Glenyalla Road bridge, Murray Constructions, have nearly completed the project. Over the last 2 weeks work undertaken has seen all the piles in place, both abutments completed, all three spans planked, and rock mattress completed.... The concreting of the deck slab has now been completed. The new $865,000, single lane, concrete structure crossing of Borambil Creek replaces an old timber bridge which was closed to traffic following structural damage. LPSC was successful in applying for a grant from the Federal Government’s Bridges Renewal Program and gaining 50% of the replacement cost for the new concrete structure. The new bridge has been built to current Australian standards, that provides unrestricted access for heavy vehicles and a useful life of at least 100 years. Council has financed the remaining 50% cost of the project with funding received through the Roads to Recovery program. LPSC Mayor, Councillor Doug Hawkins OAM, said he was pleased to see the bridge nearing completion, which will allow the reopening of the through route from the New England Highway at Kankool, to the Merriwa Road near Willow Tree. He said the road is important to local farming families, as a rural transport route and for those delivering to or collecting from properties enroute.

10.01.2022 #COVID19 update Saturday 30 January. NSW recorded no new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. There were two cases acquired overseas, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 4,912.... There were 10,504 tests reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 11,897. Testing numbers remain low, which is a concern given that high rates of testing are an important tool in tracking the spread of the virus. With restrictions having eased across Greater Sydney yesterday, it is crucial that people maintain their vigilance. While NSW has now seen 13 days without a known locally acquired case of COVID-19, the virus may still be circulating in the community among people with mild or no symptoms. We have previously seen successive days of no local cases, only to see cases re-emerge. NSW Health continues to urge people to come forward for testing if they have any symptoms that could signal COVID-19 including a runny nose or scratchy throat, cough, or fever as this is the best way to detect and stop any possible spread of the virus. Every person who comes forward for testing is playing an important role in helping to contain the spread of COVID-19. NSW Health’s sewage surveillance program has recently detected fragments of the virus that causes COVID-19 in the sewage network at Minto, Liverpool and Warriewood. While these detections may reflect known recent confirmed cases in these areas, NSW Health urges everyone living or working in these areas to monitor for symptoms and get tested and isolate immediately if they appear. T here are more than 350 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW, many of which are open seven days a week. To find your nearest clinic visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/.../how-to-protect.../clinics or contact your GP. NSW Health is treating 57 COVID-19 cases, none of whom are in intensive care. Most cases (96 per cent) are being treated in non-acute, out-of-hospital care, including returned travellers in the Special Health Accommodation.

While everyone needs to take necessary precautions to avoid heat stress as temperatures are expected to climb in the next few days, NSW Health is also urging people to continue to practise COVID-19 safe behaviour during the heatwave. If you are able to cool your home through a combination of fans, air-conditioning and closed blinds, please do so and stay at home. This is so physical distancing in other indoor spaces where people may seek respite from the heat is not compromised. If you do leave your home to visit other indoor spaces, please physically distance and wear a mask in places where you cannot maintain 1.5 metres distance from others. Although NSW has had 20 days without a locally acquired case of COVID-19 and restrictions continue to be eased, now is not the time to be complacent. New infections have been identified in the past after a number of days without any cases because of transmission among people who had mild or no symptoms.

The Premer CWA building is an important community asset which also houses the local Health Service, said LPSC Mayor, Councillor Doug Hawkins OAM. It is vital that investment is made in our smaller Shire communities and this is one of a number of community infrastructure projects being undertaken, following community consultation, in the Shire’s villages, designed to support social and community sustainability, he said. There is more to come in Premer with Council also successfully gaining $30,000 through the same program for the refurbishment of the rotunda area at the Lions Park Premer recreation grounds precinct, a project that is planned to be completed during this financial year, Councillor Hawkins concluded.

08.01.2022 A labour of love for Sister City During the past year, volunteers from the Rural Heritage Village in Quirindi have contributed many hours of their time to restore a c1914 Sunshine Harvester for Sister City, Blacktown City Council. Upon completion the historic machine will be returned to Blacktown to be displayed. LPSC Mayor, Councillor Doug Hawkins OAM, visited the Heritage Village and inspected the progress on the project with the President Bob McInnes. I saw this old machi...ne, in a pretty sorry state, when our friends from Blacktown brought it to Quirindi. The team at the Heritage Village have done a fantastic job on the restoration project and Bob told me there’s a couple of cosmetic things still to complete and the seed box will be refitted. When completed representatives from Blacktown will come to Quirindi to pick the harvester up and return it to Blacktown. The harvester holds great importance both for its place in the development of secondary industry in Australia and also for the industrial relations aspect of the Harvester case of 1907 which laid the groundwork for the establishment of a minimum liveable wage in Australia, Councillor Hawkins said. This has been a mammoth task and one Village volunteer told me that Bob alone has probably contributed over 250 hours, ably assisted by Geoff Ingall. Parts that were needed for the restoration can no longer be procured, so Scott Taylor in the blacksmith shop set to work along with metal fabricator Ian Saunders to produce them. It really has been an impressive team effort, he said. Heritage Village Secretary, Cedric Greyson, said the volunteers were very pleased to undertake the restoration as a way of giving back to Sister City Blacktown who contribute so much to this Shire. Unfortunately COVID-19 put a stop to the annual Hangi in the Country which sees a large contingent come from Blacktown City which underwrites the event, but we are hopeful that they will be able to attend the Military Tattoo in March and other events later in 2021, Councillor Hawkins said. Similarly, the Heritage Village has been restricted in its operations, but the volunteers have been hard at work and many improvements have been made to facilities and displays which will enhance the visitor experience when it can fully reopen. The outdoor activity of the Miniature Railway is still taking place and they will be operating the trains between 10am and 2pm on Sunday 27 December and Sunday 24 January. It is well worth considering taking the kids for a ride on these dates during the school holidays, he continued. The Sister City relationship between Blacktown City and Liverpool Plains Shire has resulted in many firm friendships being forged and the Harvester project is an example of the cooperation that has evolved through the social and cultural connections that have been established, Councillor Hawkins concluded.
