Continued from Page 4 funds under the Pilot Program for a study into a ‘New crossing loop near Tarago’. Where is this Study’s report, and how did a new rail loop outside of Tarago morph into the extension/upgrade of the in-town rail loop? How is this Study related to the failed project referred above? Veolia has advised that its initial preference was for a third siding at Crisps Creek but that this was denied. By Who? But on this point, we are on common ground, and happily support the construction of another siding at Crisps Creek. TADPAI has now written to Premier Berejiklian seeking her support and assistance to squash the extension of the in-town Tarago Rail Loop for which the primary purpose will be to park up Veolia’s waste trains that are delivering Sydney’s putrescible waste and leachate to the Woodlawn Eco Precinct via Veolia’s Crisps Creek Intermodal Facility and/or as a returning lay over point to allow other trains to pass, as a matter of urgency. And have recommended that a sooner rather than later spur line to Woodlawn itself might be a better option. COMMUNITY CONSULTATION/LIAISON COMMITTEES Being involved in consultation is necessary to keep decision making transparent with Governments and their Departments and Agencies, or private companies, and can be informative, interesting and fun. Heron and Veolia need to create vibrant consultative committees that includes representatives from a broad cross section of the Tarago Community. If you have an open and curious mind, then I encourage you to nominate to be on one or both committees as advertised on pages 11 and 28. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me to discuss, my contact details are below. TADPAI MEMBERSHIP TADPAI exists to promote the social and economic development of Tarago Village and District.

Willow Glen Gardeners Meeting September 2018 We met at Lloyd and Irene Turner’s place and weather was overcast and cool. We all welcomed the showers and were hoping for more. Irene showed us around the garden while the weather was clear, but it wasn’t for long and some of us stayed in the showers looking at the helabors she had. Very nice pinks and darker rose colours; a very nice show. Irene and Lloyd had been busy with their gardens and had plants in pots; a good display. Their vegetable garden in raised beds have some nice broad beans, brocoli, lettuce and peas growing. It was Irene’s birthday and she had made a lovely cake; gluten and lactose free, so she could eat it too. She blew out the candle and we all sang happy birthday. We discussed our gardens and there was a theme of – ‘needing more rain and weeds running rampant’. We are all waiting for the end of frosts to plant more seedlings. We had a lovely morning tea and discussed visiting the Tulip Farm on Tuesday 25th September as a group. Our next meeting on Tuesday 2nd October will be at Peter and Marie Styles’ place in Lake Bathurst. Judy Yates
