Council News

COUNCIL MEETINGThe next Ordinary Council Meeting will be held on Wednesday 24 July 2019 at the Armidale Council Chambers, 135 Rusden St, from 4pm. Members of the public are welcome to attend meetings.

Mayor’s MessageAnother day without rain is a day closer to running out of water.

Water or lack of it still remains a hot topic for discussion as water supplies are at critical levels and there is no sight of drought breaking rain in the six month forecast.

Guyra remains on Level 5 restrictions until completion of the pipeline with many businesses working with Council on ways they can reduce consumption without impacting too much on their business. Businesses in Guyra have adopted new water saving measures and their consumption has dropped considerably.

Guyra residents have until the end of the month to swap their old showerhead for a new, high-quality replacement, under a free exchange program. Many residents have already taken up the offer which can save more than 30,000 litres of water every year for the average household.

Armidale continues on Level 4 restrictions and we are seeing some good work by some residents in the community to save water. Unfortunately though not enough residents have taken steps to conserve water and we are experiencing minimal impact on the town water supply. We are asking all residents including those on tank water who have had to order water from water carters to do all they can to reduce consumption and save water. The Malpas Dam water supply continues to dwindle and with current circumstances, we will run out of water in 12 months.

Deputy Premier John Barilaro came to visit the New England region recently, inspecting Armidale’s water supply and to discuss plans to raise the dam wall by five metres to double storage capacity of 26,000 megalitres. This would transform the dam into a regional water supply and increase water security, prolonging potable water

for our community during dry periods. However, this type of infrastructure comes with an excessive price tag and isn’t a resolution for our current water crisis.

The drought is really starting to hit hard on the pockets of our community and we ask residents to look out for one another and reach out for support. If you are feeling the pinch and looking for some relief on your finances, you can contact Council for a payment plan for your rate repayments.

On another note, Council officially launched the Armidale Regional Airport Business Park last week to attract new businesses and investors to the region. Council has long recognised the local shortage of suitably zoned and affordable industrial land and development of the business park should tackle this issue for generations to come.

This project will provide an economic boom for the Armidale region with hundreds of jobs being created. There’s plenty of interest coming in and it’s pleasing to see a plan, which has been a number of years in the making, come to fruition.

Last of all, we said farewell to the Tingha community last week as they move from the Armidale Regional Local Government area to the Inverell Shire. We would like to thank Tingha for being apart of our community and we wish you every success in the Inverell Shire.

School holiday activitiesA fortnight of free school holiday activities commenced at Armidale and Guyra libraries this week.

Rehydrating the soil pays dividendsSouthern New Englanders

will soon have an opportunityto see first-hand how to bal-ance higher production withgood environmental outcomeson one of the highest altitudeproperties in the MalpasCatchment on July 31st.

Since finalising their prop-erty plan in 2008, and fencingoff Urandangie Creek duringthe High Country Urban Bio-diversity Project in 2010,‘Urandangie’ owners Bill Per-rotet and Jackie Perrotterhave been restoring riparianareas using techniques thathelp hydrate the whole farm.

They have also begun a pro-gram of soil testing to increase

data, knowledge and efficiency,that helps make the right nu-trient application decisions.Having a property plan for‘Urandangie’ has enabled Billand Jackie to tackle a range ofissues in priority order, notleast, rehydrating the soil.

Southern New EnglandLandcare’s Malpas CatchmentCoordinator, Rachel Lawrencesaid that the Perrottet’s havedone impressive work.

“I’m really excited by thepossibilities these methodsoffer other producers in thecatchment,” Rachel said. “In-creased soil hydration is reallykey, and this can be achievedby slowing the flow of water

and trapping more water inthe root zones of plants.

“Of course, this has hugebenefits in a water supplycatchment such as Malpas, be-cause the water that ends upin the dam is filtered before itgets there,” she said.

Landholders and communitymembers are invited to a shortFREE field day on Wednesday31st July from 10 am - 2 pm. ‘ATinge of Green’ is being hostedby the Malpas CatchmentGroup, a sub-group of South-ern New England Landcare.

For more information andregistrations visit their web-site www.snelandcare.org.auor phone 6772 9123.

July 5th - The first sale of the new season com-menced this week and with it came somewhat of a re-prieve. The negative results seen throughout theprevious month gave way to a more positive tone.After a firm opening day the market managed to gainground on the final day registering its first weekly risein over a month. Historically the first sale of the newseason is a large one quantity wise but with only31,000 bales offered nationally this was the smallestoffering to commence a season since AWEX begankeeping records in 1995. 29,046 bales were sold na-tionally for the week with the clearance improvingconsiderably compared to the previous few weeks.Major buyers included PJ Morris, Tianyu and Techwool.AWTA test data for the 2018/19 season shows a fall of11.7% in the weight of wool tested nationally withNSW suffering the largest fall of the states. The fall inproduction is broadly in line the forecast from the Aus-tralian Wool Production Forecasting Committees esti-mate. Next week’s sale is the last before the annualthree-week recess with close to 35,000 bales expectedto be on offer.

QUOTE of the week

The harder

you work,

the luckier

you getGary Player

Bureau of Meteorology

A very commonly asked question in the vetclinic is “should I desex my pet?” and “what arethe pros and cons of desexing?”.

As animal shelters across the region (and therest of the country) continue to struggle withthe influx of abandoned dogs and cats, we en-courage desexing primarily to prevent un-wanted pregnancies.

However, in addition to this, there are aplethora of health problems that can also beprevented by early desexing of your dog or cat.Early desexing is proven to reduce the incidenceof certain kinds of cancers (prostate in malesand mammary in females) and infections (suchas pyometra which is a potentially fatal infec-tion of the uterus).

There are also many behavioural problemsthat can be prevented by desexing your dog andcat. Early desexing will reduce the amount ofterritorial behaviour such as marking/urinatingas well as some forms of aggression.

The ‘National Desexing Campaign’ is an an-nual initiative aimed at increasing awarenessaround the benefits of desexing. For the monthof July, we are offering 25% off all desexingservices. Call Guyra District Vets now to organ-ise an appointment for your pet - 6779 1173.

The Caspers travelled toArmidale to take on SouthArmidale at the Sportsgroundon Saturday. The boys knewthis would be a dangerous gameas the Souths side had upsetsecond placed Inverell. With anunknown line up, because thisteam is made up completelywith refugees, the Caspers didnot know what to expect. 

The first half was end to endwith the Souths side having afew chances on goal but wereunable to put the finishingtouches to their opportunities,plus the Caspers were on thereceiving end of some very ordi-nary challenges from their op-ponents.

As the game went on theCaspers started to find their co-hesion and were totally domi-nating the ball which wasbecoming frustrating to theiropposition. Finally the Casperswere awarded a direct penaltyand B.J Kliendienst calmly fin-ished off his chance to give theCaspers a 1-0 lead at half time.

The boys were confident thatthey could go on with the job ifthey stuck to their game planbut picked the speed of thegame up even more. Thisseemed to be the perfect plan asSouths were under the pumpfrom the restart and it wasn’tlong before another direct wasawarded with the same resultfrom B.J.K to take the score to2-0.

The Souths side could notseem to get any possession atall and frustration had set inwhen another direct wasawarded. B.J Kliendienstpicked up a well-deserved hattrick for the hard work that heand B.J Cameron were doing inthe middle.

Another rash tackle sawTyson Burey react to the chal-lenge and for some reason itwas the Guyra team who foundthemselves down a player withten minutes remaining.

This did not stop the Casperattack, with the boys totallyoutplaying their opponents and

another goal followed to coachCorby after some great team-work. While celebrating thegoal a Souths player decided tokick Corby, resulting in theSouths player being sent offand the game being stoppedmuch to the Caspers relief. Thefinal score could have beenmore with the Caspers creatingmany opportunities.

Points for the match went toHarrison Dowden 3 for an awe-some effort out wide in attackand defence, coach Corby gotthe 2 playing a truly coachesknock lifting his game andstanding up for his young side,and the 1 to our middle men B.JKliendienst and B.J Cameron.

The boys are away to TASthis weekend and hopefullythey can keep up their winningways.

Guyra seconds travelled toArmidale to play Souths on theweekend in a game between 5thand 4th. Souths came out harddominating the first half withquick attacking plays, keeping

Guyra’s mid-field and backsbusy with a constant roll of pos-session. Strong defensive ef-forts from Brianna Merritt,Gemma Sisson and Lea Gorfheld the attackers out keepingthe score to nil all at half time.

The second half started withGuyra’s attackers hungry formore ball. They showed theirdesire to score, with close at-tempts only just missing untilJake Ellis nailed a brilliantlyplaced penalty kick from out-side the 18-yard box. This tookthe score to 1 nil and with a fewmore attempts only just miss-ing it was coming down to thefinal minutes. Souths onceagain unleashed a flurry of at-tacks, with a tackle in the boxgifting them with a dot shot toeven the game up at 1 all at thewhistle.

The whole team played greatagainst a very fast paced teamand the points were awarded 3to Gemma Sisson and 1 toScotty Miller, Matt Sisson andBlake Handebo.

Hat trick seals victory for Caspers

On the weekend supportersand spectators were treated tothree classy games by all theteams on Guyra’s club day.

The women’s game was farfrom one of their finest, andthey were lucky enough tocome away with a 4 all drawagainst Harlies. Ingrid ingoals did some awesome savesand it was the defence whichsaved the day. They will nowput that one behind them andthank goodness they don’t playon Sundays very often. Thanksto the club for a great club day,it was great to be able to seeall our Guyra teams play onthe same day. 

Men’s C-grade came outhard and fast expecting a winagainst Ex Servies, but had todig deep to settle for a draw.With the’ rampaging rhino’ cir-cling dangerously up in thewilderness area up front, andthe hard work put in by themids in no man’s land and thebacks in the trenches, a big ef-fort was put in by all for anevenly match game.

As A grade men were shortof players, some C grade play-ers foolishly agreed to assist.In a fast and furious gameGuyra A grade came back fromtwo goals down, but unfortu-

nately lost to City by 1 goal. Post-game comments from

the players parachuted inwere not as forthcoming afterC grade games, as playerswere either busted or the com-

ments were not suitable forpublication. Thank you to theGuyra Shamrock Hockey Clubfor organising a BBQ and re-freshments on the day.
