CENTRAL BLUE MOUNTAINS ROTARY CLUB INC. “Service Above Self” District 9685, Australia
CENTRAL BLUE MOUNTAINS ROTARY CLUB INC. “Service above Self” District 9685, Australia A SHORT PRECIS (Who, What and Where !) WHO AND WHAT ARE WE ? Central Blue Mountains Rotary is one of five rotary Clubs located in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. We are innovative and progressive... we are a “Can Do” group of Rotarians, proud of what we achieve, and we have fun doing it. We are a club of 43 members (40 active and 3 honorary). In Rotary, women are the fastest growing membership segment and we are proud to say that 25% of our members are women. Our club meets weekly on Wednesday at the “Grandview Hotel”, 174 Great Western Highway, Wentworth Falls at 6.30pm. Our meeting format is relaxed and we have great guest speakers. Sure, we sell raffle tickets and we cook and sell sausage sandwiches just like other Rotary clubs - we have a big catering van to do this....It’s great! But our community service activities are the heart of what we do, ranging from local projects to helping communities overseas. We have a website http://centralbluerotary.org/ Perhaps our greatest challenge at present; We have been awarded a RAWCS Project Fund to raise A$280,000 to construct a new, enlarged Astha Home for Girls in Kathmandu, Nepal. The massive earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015 caused much upheaval to the lives of many people and destroyed or damaged many homes and buildings, especially in the hills and valleys outside of Kathmandu. The Astha Home for Girls is currently located in rented premises but the owner wants it back for his family members who lost their home in the earthquake.

NIEWflIETTIEIQ ITPA Box 160, Canberra, R.C.T. 2601 Registered by Australia Post; Publication number NBF1 1859 VOLUME 25 MARCH 1988 NUMBER 3 President's Pnttle At the last committee meeting members raised concerns about the level of awareness of first aid when bushwalking. On a recent day walk to Ettrema, one participant received a minor injury which required a number of party members to delve into their packs for various antiseptic creams, bandages etc. While there is an expectation that all who participate on Club walks Cand on any other trips for that matter) carry their own first aid requirements, it is often the case that items must be provided by others, often the walk leader. Whilst the odd band-aid causes little financial strain, items such as pressure bandages for sprains etc. are quite expensive to replace. Thus, the committee believes that where people have had to assist others on Club walks by using such relatively expensive first aid consumables, the Club should reimburse that person the replacement cost. On a related matter we are hoping to provide interested Club members with the opportunity to attend a St. John's Ambulance first aid course. By doing so as a group, it should be possible to concentrate on those first aid matters of particular relevance to bushwalking. Details will be published in later ITs when arrangements and costs have been established. Greg Ellis Concerning Conservation you will now all be aware of the new parks proposed by the Unsworth Government for the Eden area.

Pdf June 2013
The Mounts The Community Newsletter of Mount Wilson and Mount Irvine June 2013 Welcome There has been a keen sense of anticipation for the long-awaited release of The Great Gatsby, not only by local Mounts residents who were of course closely involved with the filming but seemingly across the world. One hundred and eleven residents and friends of Mt Wilson—a wonderful turn out—gathered at The Edge cinema in Katoomba last Sunday for a community event heroically organised by Judy Tribe. The general consensus of the film seemed to be one of pleasant surprise; it was certainly a technical triumph if computer graphics are of interest. The Bowens Creek Road debacle has taken a turn for the worse with the news that Hawkesbury Council has moved to begin the process of de-gazetting that road. This would have profound consequences for the three affected communities of Mt Wilson, Mt Irvine and Bilpin in the event of an emergency. The respective Progress Associations and Fire Brigades have been extremely active and vocal in lodging their concerns with the Council; the successful conclusion of this development would been greatly enhanced if individual residents could add their voice. Time is very tight— submissions close on 10th June—but a quick email or fax would reinforce the case. Hawkesbury Council’s engagement of the local community in this instance has been noticeable by its complete absence; a flurry of correspondence should remind them that the road's closure is a matter of major significance and importance to many people.

Govetts Leap Draft Visitor Precinct Plandownload
GOVETTS LEAP DRAFT VISITOR PRECINCT PLAN ISSUE A 13/05/2020 JUNE 2020 GOVETTS LEAP DRAFT VISITOR PRECINCT PLAN Many popular visitation areas are situated on the escarpments overlooking the Grose Valley, Blackheath, and the Jamison Valley, from Wentworth Falls to Katoomba and these attract both local and international visitors. Govetts Leap is located at Blackheath and is within the Blue Mountains National Park (BMNP) which is part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area (GBMWHA). The lookout is on the escarpment edge overlooking the Grose Valley wilderness area, with the site being accessed by both car-based visitors, escarpment walkers and local pedestrians. Although the site has striking views, many of the amenities are in need of repair or replacement to better suit the needs of visitors and reflect the unique nature of the site. The Govetts Leap Draft Visitor Precinct Plan aims to redevelop Govetts Leap to become a world class visitor precinct, whilst protecting world heritage values, creating a lookout that is cherished by local residents and leaves a lasting impression on both domestic and international visitors. The Govetts Leap Draft Visitor Precinct Plan has been prepared to be submitted with (and in accordance with) the Plan of Management (hereafter referred to as PoM) Amendment (prepared by National Parks & Wildlife Service). DISCLAIMER This report was prepared by CLOUSTON Associates in good faith exercising all due care and attention, but no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the relevance, accuracy, completeness or fitness for purpose of this document in respect of any particular user’s circumstances.
