So now La Nina influence is apparently upon plenty of cucumbers for the delicious pickle we us, increasing the chance of above average enjoy all over summer, such a treat with cheese, rainfall for the season. biscuits and a beer on a hot evening!! Current climate outlooks indicate rainfall during Nov 2020 to Jan 2021 is likely to be above average for most of the country. Hooray! Our feet are dry and the tanks are full. This will bring us a milder summer and less severe heat so our crops should do particularly well. Many of our eggplant and tomatoes suffered severe sunburn during the growing season last year. We have a wonderful opportunity to grow our own food in this climate, away from the city, with fresh air and sunlight and no pollution. Composting and gardening have hidden benefits for the whole family developing healthy life style, growing nutritious food and improving longevity, vigour and good health into old age. Delicious white onions have been shared amongst our gardeners and potatoes, chard and spinach have also been plentiful, during the spring and our beds are thriving with well advanced tomatoes as we go into the summer months.

New hands of fruit have appeared and the stand is looking healthy and well cared for. There will be lots more fruit in the future. We are looking forward to the wonderful Christmas Feast Barbeque, with lots of prawns, which were promised and bartered though out the year. It is wonderful to share the fellowship of like-minded folk, to have worked together and shared a joke, and achieved so much. It has been a difficult year for socialising so each opportunity is just that much more special. As summer is upon us, and Christmas too, we wish all readers a happy and safe holiday season with lots of fun and laughter and sharing of healthy food and activities with family and friends. Remember to include those who aren’t as lucky as you are in your celebrations and always care for your community and its assets as best you can. A special wish to all the hard working members of Clifton Community Food Garden, enjoy, and we will see you on the end of the hose at the garden as the weather hots up.

Jesse has been part of the team at the BBCR shed for the past 4 years and each week he attends the site and participates in a range of projects, social and community activities such as general carpentry skills, gardening, lawn maintenance, assisting with our chickens and enjoying a weekly fishing trip and BBQ lunch. Jesse recently built himself some timber planter boxes for home and is now happily growing his own vegies, I am told the carrots are especially awesome as Jesse uses these in his homemade rice paper rolls. BBCR program support worker Michael works with Jesse each week, Michael is also an avid fisherman, but regularly gets trumped by Jesse with the BIGGER fish! In other news, we are busily working on community projects such as our recycled timber Teepees, which have proven to be very popular, a huge thanks to our Teepee kings Martin and Wayne. We have also commenced work on our community enrichment gardens, which will allow us to grow more fresh produce to support our volunteers, program participants, consumers and staff. In October, we kicked off 2 new workshops for Women at the Hub, a weekly vertical garden workshop with participants learning how to grow their own edible gardens using solar irrigation and recycled materials. Also, a series of DIY workshops covering topics such as general carpentry skills, safe operation of tools, plumbing and general maintenance skills. Both workshops were very well received and we look forward to continuing to build on their success with more being planned for early 2021!

36 UPDATES Shoalhaven City Council has been working with the NSW Department of Industry and Planning to review and improve aspects of its Development Application process. Council has also undertaken the review of its Development Application lodgement process to ensure it aligns with the introduction of the NSW Planning Portal. From 31 December 2020, the NSW Planning Portal will become to the required way to lodge a Development Application with Shoalhaven City Council. Council is however encouraging customers to lodge applications via the Planning Portal from 1 December in order to take advantage of the new system. Shoalhaven City Council, Mayor, Amanda Findley, said, “One of the key aspects of our review has been on the lodgement of Development Applications and other approvals administered by Council, to identify quicker and easier ways for customers to engage with Council.” “Best of all customers can lodge a Development Application using the NSW Planning Portal now, they don't have to wait until December, to take advantage of a faster registration process,” said Clr Findley. “I am confident that all of Council’s customers, both from the community and the development industry, will appreciate the accessibility of the portal and the consistency that it adds to the lodgement of a Development Application. Council staff have done a lot of work to ensure the overall process has been simplified as much as possible and as a result, the time taken to register a Development Application will be reduced. Whilst there is a great deal of Planning information for the Shoalhaven on the Portal, we are mindful that some people may wish to seek information directly from Council or request guidance on how to use the portal. Council staff will remain available to respond to these enquiries”. Director, G.J. Gardner, Shoalhaven, Nathan Fay said, “The introduction of the NSW Planning Portal has made the process of submitting a Development Application much quicker. We have found our clients have had a better and faster experience using the new Portal, which helps save time and money in the long run”. The new portal is a major component of Council's overall ePlanning program providing an online environment where the community can access planning services and information from any location at any time of the day. Council is also undertaking other initiatives including the introduction of an accelerated assessment pathway for dwelling applications, a Development Application review panel has been established to guide complex applications and new software is being introduced to standardise and hasten many aspects of the approvals process. For more information visit the NSW Planning Portal's website at https://www. planningportal.nsw.gov.au or Council’s website for information on Councils' Development Application process https://www.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/Planning-Development.

37 UPDATES Look out before you step out for a safer Shoalhaven Shoalhaven City Council has partnered with Coastal Waters Retirement Village on a pedestrian road safety campaign with the aim to reduce the number and severity of casualty crashes involving pedestrians in the Shoalhaven LGA. Each year, more than 1,500 pedestrians are hit or injured on NSW roads. From 2015-2019, there were 4 fatal and 18 serious injury casualty crashes involving pedestrians in the Shoalhaven LGA. 31% of the pedestrian casualties were aged 60 and over. In light of these findings, Coastal Waters Retirement Village sought to collaborate with Shoalhaven City Council on introducing pedestrian safety improvements throughout the Village after seeing the Look out Before you Step Out Campaign which aims to increase awareness of pedestrian safety. The campaign, funded by Transport for NSW creates awareness at high pedestrian activity locations to remind pedestrians to stop and look before crossing the road. Mayor Amanda Findley supported the collaboration between Council and Coastal Waters Retirement Village. “The Look Out Before you Step Out message is something that we can all get behind, to ensure pedestrian safety is at the forefront of our mind when out and about. The vinyl decals installed at Coastal Waters Retirement Village help to raise awareness of the 'Look out before you step out' rule for pedestrians when crossing the road and when using a mobile phone when walking in the Village,” Mayor Findley said. Michael Deane, Coastal Waters Village Manager embraced the program after collaborating the campaign idea with employees Michael Burke and the staff at Coastal Waters to target locations of high pedestrian activities within the Coastal Waters Retirement Village. “Coastal Waters Retirement village comprises of 359 two and three bedroom villas and is home to over 500 residents. 15 different streets and parades flow throughout the village and the various footpaths and crossings that intersect each other effectively make up its own walking track of more than 4 kilometres when used by residents as exercise routes. There is a number of cross streets and walkways and using the Look Out Before You step Out vinyls will add great benefit in helping our residents and guests of the village to think before they cross the road. With over 500 residents and a fully functioning Aged Care Facility on the grounds here, the car movements within the village is very frequent and we are always looking to improve the traffic flow and safety throughout the village,” said Mr Deane.
