25.01.2022 SHARE THE GOOD NEWS Close Ups of 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place and 4th place in Werris Creek CWA Christmas Raffle.

25.01.2022 ***STATEMENT FROM CWA OF NSW IN RELATION TO THE APPROVAL OF THE NARRABRI GAS PROJECT*** The CWA of NSW is today totally disillusioned with state planning proces...ses after the Independent Planning Commission’s approval of the Santos Narrabri Gas Project. CWA of NSW CEO Danica Leys stated that it beggars belief how a project requiring 134 strict conditions can even proceed to approval. If a project needs this many conditions, it’s an indication that they need to go back to the drawing board. It doesn’t stack up. We’re concerned that compliance on conditions is severely lacking in any case. We’ve seen it in the past with mining and other extractive projects. These companies get the green light and off they go, there’s no looping back to ensure all of these conditions are upheld into the future. Rural communities once again are left with the impacts. We’re pleased to see some requirements in the IPC report relating to waste management and salt reuse or disposal. This is a significant concern and we’ll be keeping a close eye on where Santos proceed in this regard. However other impacts such as groundwater and impacts on farming activities, remain as significant concerns. We believe that the insurance issue is also yet to be adequately addressed. The Chief Scientist has directed the NSW Government to fix it, the Upper House inquiry said fix it before any gas projects can proceed. It hasn’t been addressed and yet here we are. We know the economic impacts have been inflated, we know there are still no proper assurances on the environmental impacts. With such significant community objection and now an approval with a huge amount of conditions our members are increasingly disillusioned with the whole process.

20.01.2022 Did you know Dorrigo has its own waratah? The Dorrigo Waratah most commonly occurs around Dorrigo, on the Dorrigo Plateau but is also found in the MacPherson Ra...nges on both sides of the Queensland-New South Wales border. It is a very attractive small tree with its dark green glossy leaves and red wheel-like flower heads. It can be difficult to establish but give it a sheltered position in a deep, well-drained loamy soil and you will be richly rewarded. It makes a wonderful feature tree.

15.01.2022 Having a family heritage of farming, and being fourth generation of a dairying family, I’m able to speak the language of farming and have a deep understanding ...of the connection to the land with all its joys and sorrows. I’m incredibly blessed to still live in the family homestead built by my great grandparents in 1917 and can only imagine the impact of losing that to the prolonged effects of drought or fire. My home was threatened by fire last November. However, I am one of the lucky ones and it was spared. This experience certainly contributed to my desire to help my rural community with the effects of the drought, fire and other adversities. Farm Gate Counsellors, like Fiona in Northern NSW Local Health District, are there for our farming communities in these tough times. If you need support, or want to find out how to contact a Farm Gate counsellor, call the free NSW Mental Health Line 24/7 on 1800 011 511.
