AT THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY ISSUE No. 582 5/32 Channel Highway, Kingston. 7050 • Ph: 6229 3655 • Email [email protected] TUESDAY, 1 JUNE 2021 Family fun run success Ruby Smee finally outpaced her father, Daniel Smee, in the five- kilometre Kingston Beach Fun Run on Sunday, May 23. Daniel won the event in 2003 and Ruby competed for the first time in 2005, at age five. The Kingston Beach Fun and Walk is a fundraising event organised by the Rotary Club of Kingston. The Club’s Past President Mike Percey commented on Ruby’s achievement. “It is a proud moment for most parents when their children compete and beat their parent in a sport that they both love,” remarked Mr Percey. Grant Page was the overall winner of the event, recording at time of 14 minutes and 14 seconds. Ruby came in second place, with a race time of 15 minutes and 32 seconds, closely followed by her father Daniel in third place, recording a time of 15 minutes and 52 seconds. Mr Percey congratulated the winners and thanked all runners and walkers who participated, community organisations who assisted with the logistics of the event and local businesses who donated prizes. “Grant has been a huge supporter of our event,” noted Mr Percey. “It was the 11th win of this event for Grant, in the event’s 18 year history. “It was great to see, that of the around 400 competitors, there were many families running together. “The monies raised will support the many local Rotary projects.” See pages 3 and 8 for photos Cable car bypasses Kingborough Council Kingborough Council has revealed the people of the municipality have not been consulted regarding the controversial, private cable car and associated infrastructure development proposal on a section of kunanyi/Mount Wellington visible from properties across the region. The Kingborough Chronicle wrote to Kingborough Council and councillors on May 26, in response to a media release from Tasmania’s Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Michael Ferguson MP, who welcomed news that the development had moved forward in the application process being undertaken by Hobart City Council. Hobart City Council opened the public notification period for the planning application on May 24. However, Cr Flora Fox said the Kingborough municipality is a part-owner of Mt Wellington and therefore Kingborough Council should be involved in assessment and decision-making. “Five councils, Hobart, Glenorchy, Derwent Valley, Huon Valley and Kingborough, are part land owners of parts of Mt Wellington, including the peak where our boundaries intersect,” noted Cr Fox. “The Mt Wellington Trust was formed in the 1990’s to manage Mt Wellington Park as a reserve. “I understand that this did not remove our ownership or boundaries and therefore our Planning Schemes should allow all of the five councils to have an input to this development application. “Kingborough residents enjoy magnificent daily views of the mountain, from Blackmans Bay and Kingston, to the Channel and Bruny Island.

  • National Broadband Network Companies Amendment (Tasmania
    Labor Senators' Dissenting Report 1.1 The intent of the National Broadband Network Companies Amendment (Tasmania) Bill 2014 is to legislate for the fulfilment of the promise Tasmanians believed was made to them prior to the 2013 election. Nothing in the Chair's Report addresses this fundamental issue. 1.2 Australians generally may already be immune to the ongoing saga of the Coalition’s broken promises. Not least of these was the promise made by the Minister for Communications and the Prime Minister in April 2013 that all premises would have access to download speeds of 25 Mbps by 20161. 1.3 So confident was the Prime Minister in this promise that on the night of the election in his “letter to the people of Australia” he wrote: We will deliver a new business plan for the NBN so that we can deliver faster broadband sooner and at less cost. I want our NBN rolled out within three years and Malcolm Turnbull is the right person to make this happen.2 1.4 The promise that all premises would have access to download speeds of 25 Mbps by 2016 was unashamedly broken by Minister Turnbull only three months after the election.3 1.5 The specifics of the promise made to Tasmanians were outlined in Senator Urquhart’s second reading speech. Key issues raised in the second reading speech are as follows. 1.6 The statement by TasICT Executive Officer Dean Winter on 27 May 2013 saying he was confident that the that the rollout would occur as planned because Mr Turnbull had written to assure him that the Coalition intended to honour existing fibre to the premises (FTTP) contracts.4 1.7 The issue came to the fore again on 15 August 2013 when the now Prime Minister released the ‘Economic Growth Plan for Tasmania’ that announced that the Coalition would only honour contracts “underway.” Mr Turnbull, aided by Senator Bushby, again reassured Tasmanians that the NBN would be completed under the 5 original contract to roll out FTTP across Tasmania.

Mayor of Kingborough, Cr Dean Winter expects the new playground to open in autumn. “We will have the playground ready to go in March,” Mayor Winter stated. “Things are progressing well with contractors making good progress towards completion. “The aim is to have the playground open to the public in early March. “I am a little disappointed we could not get it finished in time for the summer school holidays, but we had a few COVID-related setbacks in the second half of last year, especially with getting various components into the state. “The playground is the next component of our plan to transform Kingston from a tired old highway town to a thriving, exciting place to be. “Kingston has to be a place people want to come to,” explained Mayor Winter. “A place for them to sit, wander, eat and drink. “It can’t just be a place you drive to, buy something and get back in the car and leave. “The playground, the new townhouse development on the site, community hub and hopefully a major employer on the site down the track will all contribute to making Kingborough a great place to live.” A transformation of the Channel Highway through the heart of Kingston’s main business and shopping hub is also set to commence this year.

AT THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY ISSUE No. 576 5/32 Channel Highway, Kingston. 7050 • Ph: 6229 3655 • Email [email protected] TUESDAY, 20 APRIL 2021 Locals fall into poverty trap Bruny Island resident Belinda Curtis has spoken out about the reality of the local housing crisis after losing work during the coronavirus pandemic and becoming financially trapped in what she describes as a “catch-22” poverty situation. The 42-year-old single mother of three children aged 17, 19 and 21, said she was forced to leave her rented home on Bruny Island due to the loss of guest accommodation services income resulting from border closures in 2020. Speaking with the Kingborough Chronicle on April 15, Ms Curtis said she is currently staying at the home of her daughter and her daughter’s partner on Bruny Island. Ms Curtis’ current circumstances coincide with the end of Federal Government coronavirus Jobkeeper payments and Jobseeker supplement, a reported shortfall of 11,000 affordable homes in Tasmania and housing waiting lists reportedly at the highest levels seen in a decade. Australian Bureau of Statistics data released on April 15 recorded an increase in both the unemployment and underemployment rate in Tasmania during the March 2021 quarter. The unemployment increased to 5.9 per cent and underemployment increased to 9.4 per cent in Tasmania, both figures are higher than the national figures of 5.6 per cent and 7.9 per cent respectively.
