Work on the new Kyogle museum is

expected to start soon after Kyogle Coun-

cil awarded a tender worth more than

$540,000 for the construction of the long-

awaited facility.

Queensland-based company M&K Con-

struction Group will build the new 340-

square metre museum on land adjoining

the Kyogle library in the town's CBD.

It will resemble an old time country hall

and will incorporate historically significant

features recovered from old buildings in

the town including leadlight glass panels

from former shop fronts.

The new museum will be built as part of

a Public Private Partnership between the

Council and the Kyogle and District His-

torical Society.

Kyogle Council Mayor Cr Danielle Mul-

holland said the fact that the museum was

another step closer to reality was great

news for the community.

“Council and the historical society have

been working for a long time to have this

museum built, and now we are almost

there,” she said.

“It's an incredible success story which

has involved all three tiers of government

and the community.

“This is a great example of how partner-

ships between council and the community

can achieve real results.”

State Member for Lismore Thomas

George secured $60,000 through a Com-

munity Building Partnership Grant for the

museum, Federal Member for Page Kevin

Hogan provided $16,480 through a Strong-

er Communities Grant, three private bene-

factors chipped in $120,000, and the his-

torical society has contributed more than

$150,000.

Kyogle Council, which has provided the

land for the museum, will contribute a fur-

ther $168,820 towards the project. Howev-

er, it hopes to recoup some of those funds

through further grants.

Kyogle and District Historical Society

president Mr Doug Campbell was delight-

ed with Council's decision.

“It's taken nine years to get to this point

and to say we're thrilled would be an un-

derstatement,” he said.

“The new museum is going to be an in-

credible resource which we believe will

benefit the entire community and it's won-

derful that we have been able to work with

Council to achieve it.

"As well as preserving our local history,

the museum will provide educational and

research facilities and act as a tourist at-

traction.

“On behalf of all the members of the

society, I extend a warm thanks to the

Councillors and the General Manager for

making this possible.”

The continuing importance of agricul-

ture and the need to re-calibrate business

thinking to consider the effects and oppor-

tunities of a burgeoning South East

Queensland region were two of the key

outcomes of Kyogle Council's Business

Leaders Forum on Monday 6 March.

More than 50 people attended the day-

long forum which aimed to get the area’s

leading business people and government

stakeholders talking about factors influ-

encing business opportunities in the area

and identifying priority actions to push

economic growth locally.

Speakers included economists Mark

Courtney and Ross Elliot from Macroplan

Demasi, trade expert Gabrielle Oriel from

NSW Industry, and community engage-

ment planning expert Professor Jim

Cavaye from Southern Queensland Uni-

versity.

Kyogle Council Mayor Cr Danielle

Mulholland gave the keynote address out-

lining Council's efforts to increase eco-

nomic activity through community collab-

oration.

“We've called it Pathways to Prosperity

and it is as much about the process of

planning as it is about having an actual

plan,” Cr Mulholland told the forum.

“The Council has already undertaken a

number of measures to set the ground-

work for enhanced business activity with-

in our local area.”

The Council has embarked on an ambi-

tious works program that focuses on

roads, bridges and other infrastructure to

support economic growth in its rural and

village areas and has been a vocal advo-

cate for improvement to strategic road

freight links to the Brisbane West Well-

camp Airport and the Bromelton State

Development Area in Beaudesert.

Council's Director of Planning and En-

vironment Manfred Boldy said another

key outcome of the forum was the need

for the area to have a more effective social

media presence and a widely recognised

brand.

He said the forum also recognised the

importance and strength of the area’s co-

operatives culture in business at a time

when collaboration among businesses and

communities was in strong demand.

Opportunities for expansion of events

tourism and retailing focusing on lifestyle

and culture to take advantage of growing

South East Queensland and Far North

Coast tourist markets also rated highly in

the discussions.

Council thanked NSW Industry and

Regional Development Australia – North-

ern Rivers for its support in organising the

forum.

Forum identifies Pathways

to PROSPERITY

Participants at Kyogle Council’s Pathways to

Prosperity Business Leaders Forum take part in

a group discussion workshop.

There have been a

few developments

this month and some

good news as well.

For the second year

in a row, a repre-

sentative of Kyogle

Council has received

a Highly Commend-

ed Award in the

Ministers Awards for Local Govern-

ment. Congratulations to Maree Bren-

nan for being this year's recipient for her

contribution to local government. These

awards are very competitive and it is

heart warming to see Kyogle Council

being recognised in them.

Council recently approved $168,000

towards the Kyogle and District Histori-

cal Society Museum Project. This project

has been a long time coming and demon-

strates how partnerships between the

community and Council can have real

outcomes.

I will be having a Mayoral

Outreach meeting in Gre-

villia on 29 March at the

Grevillia Hall. If you

would like to have a catch

up, please contact Council on 6632 0214

to book a time so you won't be kept wait-

ing.

Until next time

Danielle Mulholland

Since 2014, Council has been required

to process green waste dumped at its

waste facilities before it can be re-used

offsite.

The requirement, introduced by the

Environment Protection Authority

(EPA), was in response to noxious weeds

and plant disease being spread in unpro-

cessed mulch.

Processing involves chipping the mate-

rial, creating large piles for ‘cooking’,

daily temperature monitoring and record-

ing, turning the piles with large ma-

chines, and sampling and testing to con-

firm correct processing.

Processing obviously comes at a cost,

and fees paid by residents when they

drop off green waste at waste facilities

partly cover the cost.

The processed mulch is commonly

used by Council in large rehabilitation

projects.

Green waste must be

PROCESSED

The State Government now requires Council to

process (pasteurise) green waste before it can be

used as mulch.

Kyogle-based graphic designer Jas-

mine Phillips has won Kyogle Coun-

cil’s branding competition.

Council received 10 entries in the

competition which sought community

input on the initial phase of a project

to develop a new brand for the Kyogle

Council local government area (LGA).

Ms Phillips design portfolio, which

included the catch phrases, Kyogle:

Welcome to Wonderland, Not All

Those Who Wander Are Lost and Ex-

plore Your Possibilities, edged out

entries from Rebecca O'Meara (first

runner up) and Rebecca Kocass

(second runner-up) for the $2500 first

place prize.

Council will now prepare a formal

design brief and engage a professional

graphic artist to complete the final

brand.

The brief will incorporate ideas/

design elements from a number of en-

tries in the competition.

The new brand will be used on new

Council area signs, promotional mate-

rial, Council letterheads and docu-

ments and products associated with the

Kyogle LGA.

Photographs submitted by Bec

Sneath, Sandy Kelly, Margaret Rol-

lings and Krystal Finch have taken out

first place in the six categories of

Council's photographic competition.

All up, 11 photographers submitted

more than 140 entries in the competi-

tion.

Bec Sneath's photograph of young

boy and a dog on a quad bike with a

herd of dairy cows (featured on the

front page of the newsletter) won the

best agriculture entry as well as the

best overall entry.

Photographs by Sandy Kelly won the

Best Village Life and Best Governance

and Community Service categories

while Margaret Rollings won the Best

Visitor Attractions category and Krys-

tal Finch won the Best Ageing in

Place, Disability Services and Respite

OLD VEHICLES can be left at waste facilities

During April, Council grading crews will

be working on gravel roads in the Ettrick

and Knights Road, Homeleigh and Sar-

gents Road, Hillyards Road and Wooden-

bong rural areas.

Slashing will be undertaken on Mount

Lindesay Road, Summerland Way, Clar-

ence Way (north from Yabbra), and local

roads around Cawongla.

Pothole patching will be carried out on

Afterlee Road. Rehabilitation of sections

of Omagh Road and Wiangaree Back

Road will be undertaken and heavy patch-

ing on Kyogle Road and Bentley Road is

also programmed.

Council completed preparation of the

first section of Dam Access Road (end

closest to Toonumbar Dam) in March and

this section of road is ready to be sealed in

April.

Also in March, contractors carried out

installation of piles in readiness for the

replacement of Dalys Bridge on Tabulam

Road which is planned for May.

Stage One of the Gradys Creek and Li-

ons Roads Bridge Renewal Program was

scheduled to finish at the end of March,

but due to difficult geotechnical conditions

and minor weather delays, completion of

the Murrays Bridge (on Gradys Creek

Road 10.5km from Summerland Way) and

Boyles No.2 Bridge (on Gradys Creek

Road 13.9km from Summerland Way)

replacements is now not expected until

mid-April.

This in turn will push back the com-

mencement of Stage Two and then Stage

Three and will result in an August comple-

tion date for the six bridge replacement

program.

In Bonalbo, improvements to town

drainage and rural road signage will con-

tinue during April.

The installation of barbecues and shel-

ters in the Bonalbo caravan park and Nor-

man Johnston Park will be completed

along with refurbishment of the Bonalbo

cemetery fence.

The Kyogle off-stream water storage

facility is now fully operational and pump-

ing from the river to the dam commenced

in March.

Old vehicles are accepted for free at

Council waste facilities as recyclable

scrap metal.

If you’re planning on doing this,

please make sure you’ve recorded the

vehicle identification number (VIN) for

waste facility staff, and ensure all bat-

teries, fluids and gas bottles have been

removed before drop off.

Fluids should be removed at a me-

chanical workshop and gas equipment

is to be removed by a licensed gas me-

chanic.

With Council’s tip shop closed for es-

sential repairs, people are being encour-

aged to dispose of reusable items thought-

fully.

If an item is no longer needed and it

can’t be accepted at a charity store, please

consider:

they’re interested in buying or accepting

the materials. Please note, scrap metal is

still able to be dropped off for free at

Council waste facilities.

tems and Project Officer in Council's Asset

and Infrastructure Services Department,

working on everything from mapping sys-

tems through to field survey and engineer-

ing design processes.

Ms Brennan works in the technical areas

of engineering which have historically

been male dominated occupations.

Her dedication and commitment to the

community have been instrumental in en-

suring community engagement is a part of

all major Kyogle Council projects.

Ms Brennan also has been a mentor to

other women at the council and in the wid-

STATE AWARDS

Bonalbo's working cattle dog statue will be offi-

cially unveiled on Saturday 8 April.

The bronze statue, to be erected in Patrick

McNamee Anzac Memorial Park, commemorates

Bonalbo as the birthplace of working cattle dog

trials and pays tribute to the role played by work-

ing dogs in rural Australia.

The sport of cattle dog trialling -- think of sheep

dog trials but with cattle -- began at the Bonalbo

Show in 1950 and was the brainchild of local cat-

tle producers who wanted a means to showcase

the skills of their working dogs.

Cattle dog trials have been held at the show ever

since and the sport has spread nationally and now

boasts an Australian Working Cattle Dog Trial

Association.

The ceremony to unveil the statue will start at

10.30am and will feature a performance of local

musician Dave Tucker's original song about a

working dog and a special guest appearance by

country singer Jeff Gibson.

The statue was funded by a Federal Government

Stronger Communities Grant, donations from the

Northern Cooperative Meat Company and mem-

bers of the Bonalbo and district community, and

with the support of Kyogle Council.

Bonalbo statue honours

WORKING DOGS The new bridge on Duck Creek

Road Old Bonalbo is to be called

McKees Bridge in honour of the

McKee family who selected the area

more than 100 years ago.

Council received 10 submissions

from the public on what the bridge

should be named.

Nine of the 10 submissions suggest-

ed McKees Bridge after the original

selectors of land in the Duck Creek

valley.

Members of the McKee family also

built the first house in the village of

Old Bonalbo and started the Old

Bonalbo post office.

Descendants of the original selectors

still live on land adjoining the bridge.

The other submission proposed the

name Browns Bridge -- a name infor-

mally used by locals for the bridge

over a number of years.

The new bridge, built with funds

from the Federal Government's

Bridge Renewal Program, will be

officially opened on site by Member

for Page Kevin Hogan MP on Thurs-

day 6 April at 10.30am.

Residents of Duck Creek Road and

the wider Old Bonalbo community are

invited to attend. A picture of the new

bridge appears below.

ANZAC DAY to be commemorated

One of Peter Robinson’s latest works.

Plotting inclusive creative ideas to share with

the community is no easy task, however the

Kyogle and District Arts Council is doing just

that.

With the intent to preserve handcraft skills and

keeping traditions alive, a Yarn Spinning Phe-

nomenon was born.

“A what?” I hear you ask.

Let’s start with the yarn spinning and tradition-

al handcraft skills and how the community can

get involved. The rest will become clearer as the

count down to the Phenomenon in August draws

closer.

Can you knit or crochet? If you answered yes

to either or both, or if you would like to learn,

here is your chance to be involved.

The KDAC is wanting people to knit or cro-

chet very colourful, creative diagonal squares to

be included in its Yarn Spinning Phenomenon

event in early August.

They need squares 12.5-25cm (5 or 10 inches)

is size and they must be knitted or crocheted

from the corner.

Patterns are available at the Roxy Gallery so

pop in and pick up a copy and while you’re at it

leave your details so you can be kept in the

loop. Keep abreast with the latest on this event

either through the media or by reading updates

posted on the Roxy Gallery information win-

dow. Start yarning in a square.

Have you seen Cecropia plants in your

area?

Cecropia (Cecropia peltata) is a class 2

noxious weed in the Northern Rivers.

It is only present to a limited extent

now, but it poses a potentially serious

threat to primary production and the envi-

ronment if it’s not controlled now and is

allowed to spread.

Trees can grow up to 20m high and of-

ten have a wide leafy canopy.

The trunk is hollow and ringed with leaf

scars, and the fruits are yellow and sau-

sage-shaped.

The very large-lobed leaves make the

tree easy to identify – they are 10-60cm

wide with 7-11 lobes that have white hairs

underneath.

The old leaves on the ground can often

be the first thing that you will notice

about larger trees as they are a lot larger

than most other tree leaves.

Why is Cecropia a problem?

Cecropia peltata is native to Central and

South America and the West Indies.

Our subtropical climate provides an

ideal habitat for it to grow and spread.

It has invaded forests and roadsides

overseas and is listed as one of the global

top 100 worst invasive species.

Isolated outbreaks have been recorded

in increasing numbers here on the North-

ern Rivers.

If you think you have seen Cecropia call

Rous County Council for help with identi-

fication on 6623 3847.
