WAGGA WAGGA CITY COUNCIL Issue 38

Weekly information from us to you

Parents won’t be hearing “I’m bored” this school holidays with a bumper two weeks of fun and activities.

Right across the city there’s something for kids of all ages, with the showpiece event being a free all-ages concert as part of National Youth Week (NYW).

Press Play has been curated and designed by youth, for youth and will feature some of the nation’s most talented emerging bands, plus some of the best

local talent.Melbourne outfits Kalacoma and Dear

Plastic will be showcasing their mix of experimental rock and avant-garde pop, with support from local musician Cameron Graham and duo Jarryn Phegan and Zach Biggin.

Curating Press Play is ex-resident Sarah Mott, who has been living and studying in Melbourne for the past five years and put together the gig’s line up.

The promotional artwork for Press Play also has a local flavour, with Wagga-based graphic designer and CSU alumni Adele

Packer commissioned by Wagga Wagga City Council to create the unique designs.

Regenerate Youth Festival has partnered with headspace Wagga Wagga and NYW to present Press Play and the Ryan Gosling Film Festival.

Both events are expected to prove a hit with approximately 21 per cent of the Wagga’s population aged between 12 and 25 years.

Both Press Play and the Ryan Gosling Film Festival are all ages, drug and alcohol free events. Visit wagga.nsw.gov.au/youthweek for more information.

Rumours have been circling Wagga Wagga that Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Gosling will be visiting the city for a film festival in his honour as part of National Youth Week (NYW).

Gosling – or possibly his cutout – has been spotted across Wagga, with fans and would-be paparazzi sharing shots of the actor via social media with #gosfestwagga.

Council News snapped Gosling this week checking out the site of the festival from the Civic Theatre balcony with local fan Jess Facey (pictured).

The Ryan Gosling Film Festival will give fans of all ages the chance to watch the actor’s best-known films The Notebook and Crazy Stupid Love under the stars at the Wollundry Amphitheatre on 17 April from 6pm.

What better way to celebrate the versatility of paper this school holidays than through paper planes?

The Museum of the Riverina’s current exhibition Writtenworlds sheds light on its paper-based collection, with Paper Pilot and former world paper plane champion James Norton set to share his

secrets on the perfect paper plane.

Mr Norton will land at the Historic Council Chambers at 10.30am on Friday 17 April to teach children aged from five to 11 years the basics of paper plane engineering.

The interactive workshop is a great way to demonstrate aerodynamics, physics,

and geometry, plus exploring different materials and their properties.

The workshop costs $5 per child and bookings can be made by contacting the Museum on 6926 9655 or emailing museum@wagga.nsw.gov.au. All children must be supervised by a responsible adult.

Come and celebrate National Youth Week at the Wagga Wagga City Library.

In partnership with Sustainable Wagga, the library will host a clothing exchange in the children’s area on 15 April from 5.30pm to 7pm.

If you are a young woman aged between 14 and 20 years then this fashion exchange event is for you. Bring along up to six quality items of clothing or fashion accessories and for each item you will be givena button, which is used to purchase other items.

If you have a wardrobe full of fabulous fashion pieces you no longer have a use for, then swap them at the fashion exchange and get a taste of someone else’s style.

Clothing that is not exchanged on the evening will be donated to the Wagga Wagga Base Hospital Auxiliary Op Shop.

Light refreshments will be provided. To RSVP, email wcl@wagga.nsw.gov.au with the subject line “Fashion Exchange” or call 6926 9700.

Regionally controlled weedWHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?Prairie ground cherry is an erect, deep rooted perennial growing to 50cm high. Stems are branched, spreading and covered with short hairs. Leaves are light green, oval shaped with toothed margins. The plant has trumpeted shaped, pale yellow

flowers that develop into orange berries encased in a papery bladder-like covering.WHERE IS IT FOUND? In grazing plots and on disturbed roadsides.HOW IS IT SPREAD? It is spread predominantly by cultivation. Root fragments longer than 1.5cm are capable of producing new plants. The fruit is also spread by the elements, stock,

birds and other animals.WHAT CAN I DO? Early detection before it is established is best. Apply herbicide at the flowering to fruiting stage. Once established, it is difficult to control.

Under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act it is illegal to pollute, or cause or permit the pollution of waters.

Under the Act, ‘water pollution’ includes introducing litter, wash water, soil, debris, detergent, paint, cement slurry, building materials etc into waters or placing such material where it is likely to be washed or blown into waters, or the stormwater system or percolate into groundwater.

It is the builders’ and developers’ responsibility to keep building sites clean and stop erosion and building materials from entering stormwater drains.

Heavy fines, from $4000, may be imposed – to avoid them, follow these steps: • Have one stable entry and exit point

for vehicles

• Minimise the amount of land disturbed during construction

• Locate stockpiles away from road, paths, drainage lines, watercourses

• Remove spills on the road or gutter

• Don’t wash excess materials and water from cleaning tools and equipment down stormwater drains

• Minimise on-site vehicle activity during wet weather or when the site is muddy

• Ensure sediment fencing is installed around the site

This week’s pet of the week is a three-year-old male Maltese-cross named Patch.

Patch is quiet and well mannered, and is relaxed around people and other animals.

He would suit a retired person and would be a great companion who is happy to sit on a rug in front of the fire.

You can adopt Patch from the

Glenfield Road Animal Shelter for $ 291.18, which includes microchipping, lifetime registration, vaccination, desexing, worming and heart worm test.

If you would like to meet Patch, or any of the other animals at the shelter, visit between 1pm and 4.15pm from Monday to Saturday.

The friendly Animal Management Rangers can be contacted on 6971 4651 during business hours.

Wagga Wagga City Council has welcomed this week’s NBN Co announcement, saying it will be a boon for businesses and residents alike.

NBN Co issued its quarterly update on the national rollout plan today with 158,000 homes and businesses across 40 cities, suburbs and towns – including Wagga – added to the list.

“The NBN will be a huge boost for our community – residents will be able to work from home, and have better access to online education and vital health resources,” Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Rod Kendall said. “In terms of local industry, Wagga businesses will have more opportunity to access other markets and to improve efficiencies.”
