  • Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region
    Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region In 2020, Revenue NSW introduced a hardship program focused on First Nations people and young people. As a result, the use of driver licence sanctions for overdue fine debt changed on Monday 28th September 2020 in some locations. How are overdue fines and driver licence sanctions related? If a person has overdue fines, their driver licence may be suspended. The driver licence suspension may be removed if the person: • pays a lump sum to Revenue NSW, or • enters a payment plan with Revenue NSW, or • is approved for a WDO. A driver licence suspension can be applied for multiple reasons, so even after being told that a driver licence suspension for unpaid fines has been removed, people should always double check that it is OK to drive by contacting Service NSW. Driver licence restrictions can also be put on interstate licences and cannot be removed easily. If you have a client in this situation, they should get legal advice. What has changed? Now, driver licence sanctions will not be imposed as a first response to unpaid fines for enforcement orders that were issued on or after 28 September 2020 to First Nations people and young people who live in the target locations. What are the target locations? Locations that the Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies as: • very remote, • remote • outer regional, and • Inner regional post codes where at least 9% of the population are First Nations People. Included target locations on the South Coast are the towns of Batemans Bay, Bega, Bodalla, Eden, Eurobodalla, Mogo, Narooma, Nowra Hill, Nowra Naval PO, Merimbula, Pambula, Tilba and Wallaga Lake.

It documents the investigation of an approximately 75-hectare parcel of land known as 2541 Warrah Road (Lot 24 in DP714096), and 12A-C Warrah Road (Lots 21-23 in DP14096), North Nowra NSW, in the Shoalhaven region, which is proposed for rezoning as part of a Planning Proposal. The assessment has included a review of relevant contextual information about landform, geology and soils, documented archaeology, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal land use, field survey and Aboriginal community consultation in accordance with the requirements outlined in clause 80C of the National Parks and Wildlife Regulation 2009. Background study and field survey indicated that historical land use had resulted in significant impacts that were likely to have disturbed or destroyed any intact or extensive evidence of past Aboriginal use in the area subject to the Planning Proposal. Consistent with these observations, the only Aboriginal archaeological remains located after several field surveys are two low density artefact scatters known as EGP-28 (AHIMS #52-5-0307) and Duke 7 (AHIMS #52-5-0372).

  • Wollongong High School in Its Early Days
    Augu-.t. 1974 Illawarra Hi\torical Society Bulletin WOLLONGONG HIGH SCHOOL IN ITS EARLY DAYS: The writer's secondary ~chooling sat astride the four year segment before and after Wollongong High School was born, and also coincided ''ith the 1914-1918 World War. Prior to 1917 secondary education on the South Coast was provided b\ \\hat was known as Wollongong District School, which was housed in fi~;e rooms of the Smith Street Primary School with an enrolment of less than two hundred and a staff of eight. The headmaster was in charge of both schools, and we mixed in the corridors and playground with the primary school pupils. Fifty years ago Wollongong had four each of doctors, dentists, chem­ ists, solicitors and barbers; buses were yet to appear and public transport '"as catered for by Beattie's coaches, drawn by two horses, which met all trains and delivered passengers as far afield as Cliff Road and Smith's Hill. Primary schools south of Wollongong from which pupils were eligible for secondary education included the one-teacher schools at Tomerong, Huskisson, Falls Creek, Nowra Hill, Pyree, Terara, Bolong, Bomaderry, Cambewarra, Mcroo, Jasper's Brush, Toolijooa, Far Mcadow, Foxground, Omega, Jcrrara, Bombo, Dunmore, Minnamurra, Croom, Tullimbar, Ton­ garra, Marshall Mount, Avondale, Wongawilli, Berkeley, West Dapto and !>C\'Cral others hard to recall. Having two or more teachers were schools at Nowra, Berry, Gerrin­ gong, Kiama, Shellharbour, Albion Park, Dapto, Unanderra, Port Kembla, .\fount Kembla and Kciraville. North of Wollongong the narrow strip between mountain and sea, a non-farming community with population clustered in mining towns strung along the railway, made the one-man school a rarity, and places such as Fairy Meadow, Balgownie, Corrimal, Bellambi, Bulli and places to the north each possessed schools with several teachers.
