Stopping the next flood: Start on $7 million levee restoration By HARRIET GILMORE THE first stage of the more than $7 million restoration project to the Warren levee is getting underway soon, after a tender was accepted for the supply and installation of new floodgates. The multi-million-dollar levee restoration project will ensure the levee is reinstated to its original design level and the community is protected for the next flooding event. The project comprises of three main components: civil construction of around 200 metres of the riverbank and levee at Lions Park; the replacement of floodgates and pumps; and riverbank stabilisation at various other locations throughout town. Kicking-off the project, a near $900,000 tender was awarded by Warren Shire Council last month, to Precision Civil Infrastructure to supply and install 44 new levee floodgates. Continued page 7

The big clean! Two “semi” loads of rubbish already removed from river By HARRIET GILMORE TWO semi-trailer loads of debris have already been removed from the Macquarie River — including a car body — in an extensive clean-up project led by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). The clean-up works, which began in early April, are progressing well with a spokesperson from the EPA confi rming that around 177 cubic meters of woody debris and 14 cubic metres of human-made rubbish, have been removed from the Macquarie River. The extensive project will see seven rafts (or log jams) as well as woody debris (such as willow) and almost all human-made debris and litter cleared from more than 90 kilometres of the Macquarie River, from between the Warren (Top) Weir and Marebone Weir. In good news for local environmentalists and river-users, “Raft One” has also been completely cleared in the past four weeks of work. Revealing how the project is going, about 20 interested

from the last meeting on the scale of the project had been proven correct, with work expected to take longer than fi rst anticipated. “During this fi rst stage of removal works, we have iden-
tified more debris than originally forecast, so work is expected to continue until June 2024,” a spokesperson said. “However, we are confident we have removed all human-made debris from ‘Raft One’,” they confi rmed. As well as the car body removed from near the bridge on the Industrial Access Road at the Bryan Egan Weir, other debris and rubbish removed has included plastic drums, chemical containers, gas bottles, tyres, and even a hot water system and a box freezer. Some concerns around plans for tethering some of the native timber that would not be taken out of the river as the log jams are cleared, was raised at the meeting, with the EPA confi rming they are still working through how they will make this aspect of the project work. “As we work through each of the rafts, we are assessing larger native debris, and how we can safely manage this with minimal impact to the surrounding environment,” the spokesperson said.

Made for play; soft-fall upgrades to local parks By HARRIET GILMORE SOFT-FALL rubber will soon be installed across a number of local parks, improving safety for children and helping Warren Council with cleaning and maintenance duties. The near $270,000 project, will include the low-impact flooring being installed at Macquarie, Ravenswood, and Splash parks. Warren Shire Town Services Manager Raymond Burns said that the work will start in the coming weeks and is expected to be completed by August. “At the April Council Meeting, a tender was awarded to ‘Play Parks’ for the supply and installation of ‘Rubber Wet Pour Surfacing’ under the play equipment and flying fox at Macquarie Park, the play equipment at Ravenswood Park, and the replacement of the astro-turf around the Splash Park,” Mr Burns said. In good news for local parents, however, the parks will not need to be closed during the works though the equipment will be fenced-off while work is being undertaken, Mr Burns confi rmed. The new soft-fall is not only expected to improve safety at the parks, but also improve cleaning and maintenance work for Council staff. Soft-fall is easier to manage and keep clean, added Mr Burns. It only needs to be blown down, not raked like the sand or woodchips, to see if any sharps or dangerous litter, for example, has been buried, said Mr Burns. The fully-funded works involve removing the existing woodchips and sand from Macquarie and Ravenswood parks, before a 150mm (six-inch) layer of road-base and ‘EDPM’ rubber is then installed. At Splash Park, the green astro-turf that surrounds the wet area, will be removed and a reinforced concrete slab and ‘EPDM’ rubber installed. The concrete will be laid first to allow water from the Splash Park to drain back into the wet area and reduce the amount of mud created in the adjacent grass area. light during the afternoon then becoming easterly 15 to 20 km/h during the evening.

Men’s Shed stall helps keep their doors open; as home sought for classic truck
Warren Men’s Shed member Alastair Nicholson with the classic 1952 Bedford Fire Truck.
By HARRIET GILMORE IT’S a great place to buy a real craft item for yourself or as a gift, while also supporting the vital local work of a local community group. The event was Warren Men’s Shed’s stall at IGA last Saturday, where the group was offering a range of one-off handmade wares including wooden toy trucks, garden sets, coat-andhat racks, and much more, as well as selling raffle tickets for a large trailer load of fi rewood. Alastair Nicholson from the local group, said they were very pleased with the day, having raised vital money that helps keep this essential not-for-profit operational. “Money raised on Saturday, is to help us keep open and pay for rates, insurance, and power,” Mr Nicholson said on Monday morning. “We’ll also use the money, to purchase more materials, so we can keep making items for sale; I’ve just been to the bank,” he added. The event had been a great fundraiser for the group, he revealed. “It was a fantastic morning on Saturday; a big ‘thank-you’ to
the community for coming-out and supporting us. “Congratulations to Kate Waterford, who was the winner of the fi rewood raffle,” Mr Nicholson revealed. Mr Nicholson also said, that the local Shed is still seeking a new home for their classic 1952 Bedford fi re truck, which has been sitting dormant in their facility for years. The vehicle was donated to the organisation more than a decade ago as a restoration project for members. However, after the departure of a number of members who were skilled in this type of mechanical restoration, the project has been dormant. Mr Nicholson said they were now looking for someone to take-on the truck and to continue the restoration project. “We no longer have the man-power or the skills to fi nish the project, it’s an incredible old truck, we have all the parts, just not the skills anymore to putit back together,” Mr Nicholson revealed. “So, if you or someone you know might like to purchase the beautiful old truck, please get in touch,” he concluded.

Warren VIEW Club call: give what you can to Smith Family’s Winter Appeal THE Smith Family have kicked-off their annual Winter Appeal, fundraising to help with school costs for Australian children and families in poverty. To this end, Warren VIEW Club is urging the local community to give generously this year for their project to support thousands of young people with their education. The Smith Family believes that education is one of the world’s most powerful change agents. Which is why they focus on helping young Australians to overcome educational inequality caused
by poverty. Every day, they work with thousands of children and their families to help them unlock better futures for themselves. This year, the national charity is aiming to raise $7.2 million to help an additional 17,000 students across Australia take part in its proven learning and mentoring programs. With cost-of-living pressures rising, the appeal comes as a survey released by The Smith Family found more than 80 per cent of Australians have seen child poverty worsen in the last
12 months, with more than four-out-of-five people agreeing that extra support for education, is key to helping children and young people experiencing disadvantage. Smith Family CEO, Doug Taylor, said that while inf lation is affecting all Australians, the most-vulnerable members of our community are faring the worst. “It’s been a particularly challenging time for the students and families we support, with the cost-of-living crisis affecting the price of housing, food, and power,” Mr Taylor said.
“Families are having to make impossible decisions about where they spend their limited funds,” he added. He said, this could mean paying for school essentials like digital devices, or paying for a meal on the table. “By donating to the Winter Appeal, Australians can help young people most in need by giving them access to extra learning tools, so they can get the most out of their education and create better futures for themselves.” VIEW (Voice, Interests and Education of Women) is a national women’s organisation
and support network, bringing together women to enjoy social activities, develop skills, and make connections — all while supporting Australian children experiencing disadvantage. VIEW is one of the largest community sponsors of students on The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program by supporting more than 1700 children and young people, with the Warren VIEW Club supporting three students through its fundraising activities over the year.

Flu cases on the rise, with big jump in 2024 By HARRIET GILMORE

REPORTED cases of “the Flu” — the infectious viral disease, influenza — are on the rise with a big jump in incidence last month, compared to the same time last year. In the four weeks to Tuesday, April 23, almost 5000 reports were diagnosed in NSW, which is up 16 per cent compared to the same period in 2023. With an increase in cases, and the cooler months fast approaching, the community is being urged to protect themselves against serious illness by booking in for their influenza vaccine ahead of the 2024 flu season. NSW hospitals received 480 influenza-like illness admissions between the January 6 and April 14 this year, almost double last year’s number. In the past week, influenza cases have increased again, by 24 percent. RFDS Executive General Manager Health and Clinic Services and Chief Medical Officer, Dr Shannon Nott, said the 2024 influenza season has started early, so the organisation is encouraging people to get vaccinated to protect themselves. “Historically, the flu season has peaked around August but, in the last two years, we have seen the cases peak in June,” Dr Nott said. “ It also takes approximate-
ly 10 days for the body to develop the antibodies that provide protection, so it is important to get vaccinated as early as possible,” he added. For those who need them, Warren RFDS Medical Centre and also the Warren Pharmacy, have flu immunisation shots available now. “You don’t need to be an existing patient at the (Warren RFDS) clinic to receive a flu vaccination,” Dr Nott said. NSW Health recommends everyone aged six months and older gets an annual flu jab, to protect themselves and those around them, and for some, the jab is completely free. Vulnerable people who are considered more susceptible to developing serious illnesses from influenza are eligible for a free flu shot. Those at risk and eligible for the free vaccination include children aged six months and under five, people aged 65 and over, Aboriginal people six months and over, pregnant women, or those with a serious health condition, such as diabetes, cancer, immune disorders, obesity, severe asthma, kidney, heart, lung, or liver disease. Protecting young children is also incredibly important, with recent statistics showing not only an increase in flu cases, but also RSV (Respiratory syncytial vi-

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation, also recommends keeping up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccine.

By HARRIET GILLMORE WARREN Fire and Rescue are hosting their annual Open Day this Saturday at Victoria Oval, giving locals the chance to get-up close and personal with local fi re fighters and their equipment and put their skills to the test. The open day will see a range of different scenarios and challenges set-up, allowing the community to “walk in the boots” of local firies. Challenges include bowling and rolling-up a hose, using the hydraulics to pick up an egg, racing to get dressed into protective equipment, and target practice with the
first aid reel (“water hose”). Warren Captain, Renee Scott, said it should be a fun day-out for the whole family and is encouraging everyone to pop-down and learn more about home fi re safety. “This year, we decided to move our open day to Victoria Oval to coincide with a Warren Pumas home game,” Renee said. “Our open days are really a great chance for locals to see what being a fi rie is all about, see some of the equipment we use while also chatting about safety, especially as we move into the cooler months, when home fi re safety is particularly important,” she added.
“It’s not only an exciting day for the community but also for the fi refighters themselves, she explained. “It’s a great chance to get a look behind the scenes and gain an understanding of the variety of work that fi refighters do, while educating the community about the importance of having a working smoke alarm especially in the lead-up to winter. “Each year, 20 people die in NSW from fires that could have been prevented,” Renee said. his year, she added, the organisation wants locals to prepare their homes early for the winter ahead.
“We see a 10 per cent increase in the number of home fi res during the cooler months, with more fi res starting in bedrooms and lounge-rooms, due to things like heaters and electric blankets. “Now is the time to replace your smoke alarm if it is more than 10-years-old, remember, only working smoke alarms, save lives,” Renee concluded Fire and Rescue NSW Commissioner, Jeremy Fewtrell, said that fi refi ghters will also provide advice on lithium-ion batteries at the upcoming open day. “Lithium-ion batteries can be found in many portable electronic devices such
as mobile phones, e-bikes, and e-scooters and, although these devices make our lives easier, they have the potential to put us at risk,” Comm Fewtrell said. “Lithium-ion batteries are the fastest-growing fi re risk in NSW, so it is important for people to understand how to charge devices safely and what they can do if they catch fi re,” he concluded. Come and meet the team that is prepared for anything at the open day and learn how to “be fi re safe” and protect you and your family. See Classifieds in this issue for more information.

Stopping the next flood: Start on $7 million levee restoration From page 1 Warren Shire Council’s Town Services Manager, Raymond Burns, said that initial works for the new floodgates are expected to commence in the coming weeks, with this stage expected to take almost 12 months. First announced two years ago, the extensive project — funded in total by Commonwealth, State, and local government grants — will help the township to better-withstand future flood events. The bulk of the money, totalling more than $5 million, is from the Federal Government’s National Flood Mitigation Infrastructure Program. Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, said at the time of the announcement in May 2022, that he was thrilled that Warren Shire Council had received grants for the remediation of part of the existing levee bank. “The condition of the town levee has significantly deteriorated over recent years, so much so that Council had to take emergency mitigation measures to minimise the impact of flooding late last year [2021],” said Mr Coulton. During flooding in late 2021 Council was required to undertake emergency works after a large hole formed on the riverbank behind the police station, compromising the levee. 1,400 tonnes of rock was used during these emergency works. “The rehabilitation of the levee has been a priority of Council’s for a number of years, so I’m pleased to have been able to secure this funding to provide reassurance to the community during future floods,” Mr Coulton said. A major component of the levee restoration project, is the civil reconstruction of approximately 200 metres of the riverbank and levees located adjacent to Lions Park. This work will involve a steel-and-concrete retaining wall at water level with bank rock protection above this level. “Material will be removed to provide a safe working area to allow the construction of a steel and concrete retaining wall,” Mr Burns explained. “The river and levee bank will then be rebuilt, and a one-metrethick layer of stone placed over
the works, to protect it from future damage, a new pathway and handrails will also be constructed,” he revealed. Once plans are completed, he added, the heavy machinery can then move in. “The detailed design work for the restoration of the levee bank, is being fi nalised. “Once the design is completed, these works will be put-out to open tender to engage a suitable contractor to carry-out the works.” Two other tenders for work associated with the levee restoration are also currently open, he revealed, the first for the supply of eight electric submersible pumps. “During flooding events — as we experienced in 2021 and 2022 — the pumps will be installed at various locations around the levee to pump-out stormwater,” Mr Burns said. “The pumps will be powered by diesel generators, all of which will run autonomously.” The second tender currently open, is for supply of six more diesel generators to be used during other natural disasters, to ensure that critical infrastructure — such as water and sewerage pumping station — can be maintained during power outages. Both these tenders close this week. A third Request for Tender to be opened in the next few months will be for the supply of 100mm diesel-driven portable pumps. “Again, during flooding events, these pumps will be installed at locations around the levee to pump-out stormwater,” Mr Burns said. “As with the submersible pumps and generators, these pumps will start, run, and stop automatically as the stormwater level rises and falls,” he added. More rock emplacements for riverbank stabilisation throughout town will also be installed during the project. The exact locations of these have not been revealed at this time, but Warren Shire Council have advised it will be at sites where the bank has been damaged by floods, high river flows, and “drawdown” (reducing of the water level).

The big clean! Two “semi” loads of rubbish already removed from river
A car body is among the two semi-trailer loads of debris removed so far from the Macquarie River as part of an extensive clean up lead by the NSW EPA.
Debris in a boat being removed from the Macquarie as part of the NSW EPA’s extensive clean-up of the River.
From page 1 “This type of debris can be critical fish habitat, so we will continue to seek advice from NSW DPI Fisheries to ensure we preserve this habitat while allowing access to other debris,” they added. Decisions on what to do with this debris, will be made on an idnvidual basis, they explained. “We’re now focusing on tethering native timber that is over 300 millimetres in diameter and over three metres in length, and will assess the best method of tethering on a case-by-case basis.
“To date, we have tethered timber with nylon rope however we are exploring other methods with NSW DPI Fisheries, such as using log pegs or mooring blocks, that may allow us to better protect aquatic habitats,” the spokesperson said. Locals at the meeting also raised concerns around the use of nylon ropes for tethering large native logs, believing it would be addingmore man-made pollution to the river. Concerns were also raised around the suggested ‘log-pegging”. Some residents were worried that this practice could actual-

ly cause injury and destabilise the bank, with one landholder, exclaiming: “not on my side of the river!” The initial plans for large native timber to be left in the river due to their benefit as fish habitats was good in theory, but not necessarily practical, some ratepayers said. Another suggestion one community member mentioned, was that, perhaps these larger native timbers, should be removed and relocated to areas that were needing natural habitat improvements as “fish hotels” in conjunction with fi ngerling release programs. The EPA acknowledged
these concerns and confi rmed that they will continue to explore options around the management of debris as the cleanup works progress. Overall, feedback from the community and landholders at the community session was positive, with many acknowledging the EPA for their process, consultation and communication throughout the project so far. Local landholder and Chair of NSW Farmers Warren, Simon Cant, said he was pleased so far with the project. “Progress is steady and it’s a big job, but the EPA have restated their commitment to
stay the course,” Mr Cant said. “They have demonstrated a willingness to listen to community members… to the people who live with this river and love it, and to value our suggestions,” he added Last week, work began on the largest of the log jams, referred to as “Raft Four”. Additional heavy machinery was being brought-in for this raft, including two excavators and a bobcat. The EPA will continue to update on the progress of the project with fortnightly emails, as well as another community session in June.

Western Plains Rugby kicks off with wins in Walgett By HARRY GAYNOR RUGBY returned to the Western Plains zone on a wet and windy Saturday as the Warren Pumas and Pumarettes travelled up to the floodplains of Walgett for a highly anticipated grand final rematch to kick off round one. With a strong numbers base yet plenty of new players in all teams, nerves were high as to how the Black Cats would start the year defending a premiership and also celebrating their 70th Anniversary as a club. The Pumarettes were fi rst on the field as they took on the new Tri-Tag form of the game, a combination of rugby union, touch footy and Oz-tag. The 10 a side, full field match with lineouts, uncontested scrums and rucks meant a great deal of effort from the girls to learn a new sport and train to be competitive against the three-time premiers, the Walgett Ewes. The Pumarettes aimed to play a territory game to start, succeeding quick hitups with long-range kicking from captain, the ever-reliable Kaitlin Staniforth. Pressure on the fullback nearly lead to an early try, and Walgett recovered well to fi nd a gap in Warren’s defence to score fi rst. The persistent kicking game though helped Warren to get close enough to Walgett’s line and allow halfback Alison Ruskin-Rowe to dart her way in for a try. Scores were level until a gap on the wing allowed Walgett to score a full-length of the field try to go back in front at half time. With the wind behind them in the second half, Warren tried to use the field width a lot more and utilize the kicking game for the wingers. Persistence paid off for Argentinian rocket Martina Moyano, regathering successive kicks to the wing to score a blinder in the corner. Walgett replied by finally putting together some well-constructed backline moves to fi nd space on the touch line, flooded in water,
and score successive tries to gain an unreachable lead. The game finished with the scores at 50-11, cemented Walgett’s position as the team to beat, but the Warren girls held their heads high to endure the first official Tri-Tag debut for the Black and White. The first grade men took the field next, eager to not let Walgett stamp their home authority early as they do so well. The forward pack for Warren in particular had a lot of new faces, whilst the backlines welcomed back a past halves combination of Matt Kelly and Charlie Howard. The wet and humid conditions meant that play was sloppy for the first 20 minutes, with multiple stoppages and turnovers, so the forwards had a lot of work to do. Warren suffered two early injuries as both second-rowers came off, and so an undersized scrum pack were starting to feel the pinch. Yet the reliable service of halfback Kelly allowed the Warren team to pull off a beautiful back-line play in the forward half that saw Hugh McLean leap into a gap and stride over the line as gracefully as a white-tailed deer. The wet conditions still meant that turnovers were being consistently challenged, and two penalties within the attacking half allowed Hagan Size to put the score in front off the tee. With a 13 point lead at half time, Warren knew they had to extend it well beyond to be safe from Walgett. The defence picked up in the second half, as the forwards did well to cut down momentum from a Walgett forward pack strong in size yet lacking in direction from an inexperienced backline. Eventually they managed to fi nd a gap in the middle of some lazy Warren defence, and a converted try meant they were back in action. With some silly mistakes from Warren and poor communication, things were tense for 15 minutes as Walgett were knocking on the door of an equalizer, but the in field kicking of Hagan Size and Charlie Howard allowed
Warren to escape and get back into attacking position. The forwards fi nally held they’re structure in successive scrums to allow some better backline service, sending winger Dave Jenkins over for a glorious try in the corner. Flanker Stu McLean then showed his notorious tenacity to barge his way through the ruck and muck for another try shortly afterwards, extending the lead to a fulltime score of 27-11. As the second-grades sides ran onto the field afterwards, the looming clouds shortly opened up, on queue, as soon as the ref blew his whistle. Bush footy was on display at its finest as the second-grade sides from both towns got stuck into hard running and harder tackling. An undersized Warren forward pack did well to ruck against a fi nely-aged and well fed Walgett pack, yet the halves combination again made the difference in achieving some good service to the wingers. Digby Munro and Hugh Bible soon snapped the team into some working order and used the pace of Jason McCarthy out wide to score fi rst points. A similar play saw Jason score a double not long after, and Warren went into halftime up 10-0. The rain continued to grow harder in the second half, and the Walgett side continued to test the Warren side with high-ball kicking, yet young Tom Job held his nerve multiple times and allowed Warren to stay within the attacking half. Another shift in momentum and quick ball from the halves saw the ball land in the hands of Jason McCarthy out wide again as he sauntered his way over for a casual hat-trick, landing the Pumas in the winning scoreline of 15-5. Next week Warren will host their first home game of the season, as all three grades will take on the Bourke/Brewarrina Barbarians.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Visit to Moree and Boggabilla LAST week, I was joined by Federal Leader of The Nationals, David Littleproud, and Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, in Boggabilla and Moree, to discuss youth crime and various social issues. We heard about the work the local police, youth organisations, and Moree Plains Shire Council, are doing to address crime. But we need to hold all local service providers to account, to ensure they’re working to get the best outcomes for at-risk young people. Providing employment for locals, will also help reduce anti-social issues with an extra 4000 jobs expected to be created in Moree over the next 40 years as a result of the Special Activation Precinct. But this Precinct is reliant on the completion of the Inland Rail, which is so important for agricultural communities like Moree. Moree Plains Shire Council is also concerned about potential job losses as a result of Labor’s current Water Buybacks scheme.
Grants to strengthen six communities I’D like to congratulate six organisations in the Parkes electorate that have received funding under the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal’s (FRRR) Strengthening Rural Communities program. The following have been awarded grants under the Commonwealth-funded Re-
Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price; Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton; and Federal Leader of The Nationals, David Littleproud, visiting Moree PCYC last week , to discuss youth crime and other social issues. building Regional Communities stream: f RiverSmart Australia — $10,000 to build a concrete coach-disembarking point and accessible pathway in Warren. f Coonamble Golf Club — $9928 grant to construct a playground. f Moree Plains Shire Council — $3000 grant to facilitate Fanny Lumsden’s Country Halls Tour in Garah. The following have also been awarded grants under the Small and Vital stream, which is funded by the community and private sector: f Warren Chamber Music Festival — $10,000 to record songs from storytelling sessions with elderly community
members in Collie. f Colly Gamilaraay Indigenous Corporation — $9500 to hold a one-day multi-arts and sporting festival to celebrate traditional and contemporary Aboriginal culture from across the Collarenebri region. f Arthur Butler Aviation Museum — $5000 to create a management plan for the Tooraweenah aerodrome to develop future facilities. Sadly, this is the fi nal round of the Rebuilding Regional Communities stream to be funded by the Commonwealth, as there has been no commitment from the Labor Government to allocate further funding. I’m hopeful that
the Government will commit to supporting future grant rounds in the upcoming Federal Budget.
Remote airstrip funding delayed COUNCILS and private owners of remote airstrips in my electorate, have been left waiting to hear whether they have been successful for critical funding to upgrade their remote airstrips. Applications for the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program closed in December last year. However, it is now May, and Transport Minister, Catherine King, is still yet to announce the successful grants.
This funding is so important for our remote communities, who rely on safe, operational aerodromes for the delivery of goods and services, particularly where road access is unavailable, unreliable, or disrupted for extended periods due to seasonal weather conditions. Councils are now faced with uncertainty as they try to complete budgets. Further delays by the Labor Government, could impact their ability to have upgrades completed by the April 2026 deadline. This is just another example of Labor’s disdain for those of us living in the bush. The people of the Parkes electorate deserve better.
Rates to rise 4.5 per cent; comment on Shire’s Operational Plan and Estimates By HARRIET GILMORE WARREN Shire Council has its 2024/2025 Draft Operational Plan and Estimates on display during May, with residents encouraged to submit feedback on the proposals. The Operational Plan outlines the major activities Council wants to undertake across the 2024/2025 fi nancial year, as well as the fees and charges they impose. The draft proposals forecast that the fi nancial years, 2024/2025, as well as 2025/2026, are expected to be extremely busy for Council, with extensive capital improvement works to be started and/or completed, together with a near $11 million flood restoration program across the roads network. In line with the NSW Independent Pricing and Regula-
tory Tribunal (IPART), Council increases are rate-pegged. This process sets the maximum rate by which a council can increase their rates. Under this rule, Warren Shire will be able increase their general rates by 4.5 per cent this year, equating to an increase of more than $240,000 on the actual rates levied in 2023/2024. In rating news, IPART recently reviewed and updated their methodology for council rate-pegging so as to more accurately reflect the increasing costs for each council, IPART Chair, Carmel Donnelly said. “We understand ratepayers across the State are facing cost-of-living pressures, including the affordability of council rates,” Ms Donnelly said. “The new methodology we have applied, will bet-
ter account for the diversity among NSW councils, and help ensure ratepayers contribute only to costs relevant to their local government area,” she added. She revealed that rate pegs are based on employee cost increases, forecast inf lation, and council-specific changes in Emergency Services Levy contributions and population growth. Proposed ordinary rates for residential residents to be levied by Council also vary, based on location, with the following general rules: f Warren residents and businesses can expect a minimum rate of $596. f Nevertire and Collie residents can expect a minimum rate of $247. f Warren businesses on the fringe of town, in industrial zones, at the airport, and
Nevertire and Collie businesses, can expect a minimum rate of $321. f Rural residents will be subject to a minimum rate of $321. In addition to general rates, all water and sewer charges have been increased by five per cent, in line with the Warren Shire Council’s Long Term Financial Plan, while other fees and charges have been increased by at least four per cent. The water availability charge for Warren, will be $562, $744 for Nevertire, and $569 for Collie. Proposed sewerage charges for Warren residential, is $702 and $735 for Nevertire. Residential properties in Warren with more than two toilets, will be charged $352 for each additional toilet. Sewerage charges for non-residential properties for
both Warren and Nevertire, will be $645. As a result of Warren Shire Council’s recent survey, the introduction of a recycling service has been put on hold, so has not been included in the 2024/2025 plans. However, the Rural Waste Depot Access Charge of $10 per assessment will be going ahead and has been included in the draft 2024/2025 Operational Plan and Estimates, to be commenced after July 1, 2024. A full list of all proposed fees, charges, capital works and operational plans, can be reviewed on Warren Shire Council’s website. Council’s Draft Fraud and Corruption Policy and Fraud and Corruption Framework 2024 are also on public exhibition.

Cobar Roosters crowing, as they collect the Cup! CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE, ROUND TWO By BRYSON LUFF DESPITE having to face another long trip home from Gulgong’s Billy Dunn Oval, the Cobar Roosters would have been well-pleased with their additional luggage on the return journey; the Boronia Challenge Cup! This iconic bush trophy, came into their possession following their comfortable 30-12 defeat of the Gulgong Terriers in Round Two of the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition. The result handed the Terriers — reigning Castlereagh Premiers — their fi rst loss since 2022 and, in doing so, reinforced the belief in many that the Roosters are the early-season favourites for the 2024 Premiership. The Chookies now sit on top of the competition ladder on six points, along with the other two undefeated sides, the Coolah ‘Roos and the Coonabarabran Unicorns, who both registered hard-fought wins against Coonamble and Baradine respectively. In both games, the winners were the visiting side and had to fight hard to come-away with the competition points. The ‘Roos continued their impressive start to the season with a 14-6 win over the Bears,
and the Unicorns just got home in a tough local derby against the Magpies by 12-6. In the other game, the Narromine Jets hosted the Gilgandra Panthers with both teams coming off big losses in Round One and, it was to be the Jets who prevailed in a see-sawing game that resulted in the scorebord being locked-even on three occasions. The fi nal score was 32-22 to the Jets, after the Panthers had led 18-12 just 15 minutes into the second half. Turning to Round Three of the competition, Cobar’s fi rst defence of the Boronia Cup will be against the young-and-enthusiastic Baradine Magpies who, whilst winless at this early stage of the competition, have lost both their games by a combined total of just 10 points. No doubt they would like nothing better, than to knock the Roosters off their home perch. Cobar would be ill-advised to take them lightly. Match-of the-Round status however has been conferred on the Coolah versus Coonabarabran game to be played at Coolah, where both sides will be very keen to fi nish the 80 minutes with their unbeaten record intact. This should make for interesting viewing with a big crowd expected to witness the action at what has been a happy hunting ground for the ‘Roos thus far this year.
The Narromine Jets will be covering a bit of ground this Saturday also, fi rstly when their Youth League and League Tag sides head to “The Crater” at Binnaway to match it with the Bombshells. Those games are scheduled to kickoff at 10am, which will then allow the Jet’s faithful time to get to Coonamble to watch their First Grade side play the Bears in what is a crucial game for both teams. Coonamble will also host Dunedoo in League Tag, prior to the First Grade game. The fi nal game will see the Gilgandra Panthers trying to break their season duck against the visiting Gulgong Terriers in Gilgandra.
Christie and Hood Castlereagh League Round Two results Youth League Gulgong 22 (Bobby Pascoe, Kayden Whiley, Mason Hammond, Ricky Constable tries, Caiden Horton three goals) defeated Cobar 16 (Tommy Bryan, Frazer Toropo, Nathan Kelly, Oisin McMullen tries).

FAITH MATTERS
The truth brings relief By MICHAEL CAMPBELL “BE sure your sin will fi nd you out!” was a favourite saying of mum. She seemed to say it with a glint in her eye, moments after my mischief had been exposed. No lie and no amount of cover up could protect me. I would always be found out, and her wooden spoon was not far behind. I found out later this saying comes from the Bible. The context was a promise, being made by some of the tribes of Israel. Moses warns them, “If you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the Lord; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.” Numbers 32:23 So, not only was I trying to hide from mum, but it turns out – every lie is an attempt to
hide from God. Well, we can all guess how that is going to work out. Surprisingly, I came to appreciate mum’s detective work. The lies I told were hard on my mind and body. Being discovered brought relief. Yes, there were consequences, but now: my conscience was clear, my relationships were set right. Are you living a lie? Are there secrets you are trying to keep? Have you done something that is shameful? Are you afraid of being discovered? Friend, there is hope! God promises mercy, forgiveness and a peace that passes all understanding for those who turn to Him and are honest. He’s not going to be shocked – He’s seen it all. Use the Lord’s Prayer as a guide.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES DUBBO trainer Connie Greig and Muswellbrook based jockey Leandro Ribeiro won yet another feature race when Valadyium on Saturday took out the 1700 metres Dunk Insurance Boorowa Picnic Cup. Namarari which led when runner up to Avalicious with Valadyium a length away third in the Tomingley Picnic Cup last week, was again the
Western Racing Report leader at Boorowa. Finishing well from midfield, Valadyium ($5) won by a length from Namarari (Zara Lewis, $7) with Ravalawa (Izzy Neale, $16) over two lengths away third. Valadyium, a seven-year-old brown mare, has now won 12 races and been placed 17 times from 76 starts. First leg of a winning double for Connie Greig and Leandro Ribeiro was the very consistent Better Judgement in the 1000 metres Nutrien and Bendigo Community Bank Class Two Trophy Handicap. A three-times winner and
placed six times over the last nine starts, Better Judgement ($3.50) carried the 71.5kg top weight and after racing outside the leader won by over three lengths from Uprise (Sebastian Galea, $6) and Unspoken Star (Dylan Parrott, $5). Moruya trainer Natalie Jarvis also had a winning double and both Champ Profond and Far Too Hot were very well ridden by Maddison Wright. A winner by over eight lengths at Grenfell Picnics, Champ Profond ($2.20 favourite) again went to the front at Boorowa and safely held off Robran (Leandro Ribei-

ro, $2.60) and Spirited King (Ricky Blewitt, $3.60) in the 1300 metres Class B Handicap. From midfield, Far Too Hot ($2.50 fav.) swooped on the outside in the 1200 metres Ranvet and Newhaven Park Picnic Sprint to score in a close fi nish from Oakeys Choice (Todd Bailey, $6) and Fantini (Dylan Parrott, $6). Winless after 61 starts but placed 11 times, the six-yearold mare Red Card Rosie fi nally broke through to win the 1000 metres Maiden Plate for Forbes trainer Peter Kirby.

LAST Wednesday, a total of 14 ladies played in the Bek McKay and Kerry Duncan 18-Hole Stableford Trophy Day in verywarm autumn weather that was ideal for golf. Bringing in the winning score of 30 points, was Sue Burke playing her usual great game, while, hot-on-her-tail and only one point behind, was Josie Cosgrove on 29 points. Christine Tilley came in third, again only one point behind on 28 points, while golf balls went to Sue, Josie, Christine, Robyn Downey, and Judy Ridley. Nearest-to-the-pin (NTP) winners were, on the fourth, Christine Trudgett; the 13th, Josie Cosgrove; the 16th, Robyn Downey; and the 18th, Judy Ridley.
It was great to see Kerry and Daphne back out on the course again and we hope to see more of you. Congratulations to all the winners with gratitude to Kerry and Bek for their wonderful trophies and also to Daphne and Kerry for the delicious nibblies after golf, which were much-appreciated and enjoyed. Good luck to the ladies that are travelling to Wentworth for three days to play in the Western Districts Ladies tournament. “Head down, eye on the ball, rugup, and try and stay warm!” “Golf is just a game, but playing it with friends, makes it an unforgettable experience.” — The Dirty Birdie
was overtaken but fought back to beat Denali Kai (Todd Bailey, $3.50) by a half-head with Kingzan (Tony Williams, $2.60 fav.) fi lling third place. “Red Card Rosie is not very big but tries hard and usually runs an honest race whether it is at the Picnics or a TAB meeting”, commented Ricky Blewitt. In the 1200 metres Maiden Plate, Brie Brie ($3.20) ridden by Sebastian Galea for Gundagai trainer David Blundell, raced off the pace and fi nished best to account for Fallan Eagle (Dylan Parrott, $5) and Gutbuster (Todd Bailey, $4.20).

Warren Junior Netball kicks-off 2024 season Contributed WARREN Junior Netball kickedoff their exciting 2024 season with a “Meet and Greet” event last week, during which the teams were announced and offering players the chance to meet their coaches and attend a training session. The new season involves two competitions that will run on Wednesday afternoons comprising a “NetSetGo” (nine years and under) series, and a “Super Wednesday” (10 years and over) comp involving more than 50 registered players. The teams in the NetSetGo competition will focus on learning skills and having fun along the way. This form of competition is a wonderful introduction to netball for those just beginning their journey in the sport. A total of four teams will also compete in the Super Wednesday competition with the standard of play expected to be high throughout the season! First games in both competitions start on Wednesday, May 15. This year, the Club will also have three teams representing the Warren Wildflowers in the Dubbo Netball competition on Saturday mornings in the Under 10s, Ubder 11s, and Under 12s age groups. “It is great for the future of Warren Netball, to have so many younger players eager to play at a higher level, and we wish all teams the best for their season, which commenced on Saturday, May 4,” a Club spokesperson said. Other upcoming activities for Warren Netball Club, include the annual Ridley Trudgett Netball Gala Day on Friday July 5, which is a round robin event for primary schools from the region. “The Committee is very grateful to all those who have volunteered their time to ensure these competitions take place (coaches, umpires, scorers and other helpers),” the spokesperson said. “None of these activities would occur without many people generously giving their time each week, the Committee would also like to acknowledge the incredible support from the local business community for sponsorship of the 2024 Competition. “This ongoing support ensures we can continue to offer Warren girls and boys the opportunity to develop their netball skills as well as improving fitness and coordination in a team environment and is greatly appreciated!” they concluded
