  • Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Annual Conference, 29 – 31 March 1929
    CHAPTER 7 Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Annual Conference, 29 – 31 March 1929 Report in The Sydney Morning Herald One can detect that the Lang machine was already in election mode at the 1929 Conference and confident of victory. Almost no business was conducted and the meeting took only three days (allowing delegates to go to the races on Easter Monday!). No sign of disunity was allowed to develop. Part of the rationale given by the Executive was that the two preliminary regional conferences had done their work so well that there was little for the State Conference to do. However, it was almost certainly true that the Rural and Metropolitan Conferences had been stage‐managed as efficiently as the State Conference. The one matter of controversy that surfaced was some dissatis‐ faction with instances of graft in preselection ballots, leading to suggestions that these ballots should be abolished – with all decisions presumably to be made by the Executive. That proposal (originating from the radical left as a veiled criticism of Inner Group meddling) was not taken up, although the Inner Group would not hesitate to interfere, officially or unofficially, in any preselections not already sewn up. ξ 211 LABOR PAINS VOLUME V Executive Report of NSW ALP for 1928-29 (Mitchell Library Manuscripts, 329.3106/3) Australian Labor Party, State of New South Wales, Executive Report Ladies and Gentlemen: The 38th Annual Report and Balance-sheet of the Australian Labor Party, State of New South Wales, is hereby submitted for your consideration.

BLANK PAGE Document controls Approval and authorisation Title Yoogali intersection upgrade submissions report Accepted on behalf of NSW Tim Keyes, Project Manager Roads and Maritime Services by: Signed: Dated: 28 November 2018 Executive summary Roads and Maritime Services is proposing to upgrade the intersection of Burley Griffin Way, Mackay Avenue, Kurrajong Avenue and Irrigation Way at Yoogali. The proposal involves widening and upgrading all intersection legs, installing new traffic lights and upgrading the existing Irrigation Way bridge with a new culvert structure. The work will improve safety and productivity for road users by boosting the capacity of existing roads, particularly for heavy vehicle drivers. The existing intersection is a priority intersection with a “Give Way” control for the side roads - Burley Griffin Way and Kurrajong Avenue. The Narrandera to Griffith rail line is immediately north of the intersection and runs alongside Irrigation Way and Mackay Avenue. As part of the proposal, a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) was prepared to assess the likely impact of the proposal on the environment and to detail the protective measures to be implemented.

  • Take a Day Trip and Get Wet Or Wild
    Lake Talbot Swimming Complex TAKE A DAY TRIP AND GET WET OR WILD Credit: Narrandera Shire Council RIVERINA, NSW You don’t have to travel far to get the holiday vibe going this summer. You can entertain the kids and escape the ordinary with day trip adventures to Narrandera, Leeton and Darlington Point. The “coolest” place to be this summer is Narrandera (www.narrandera.com.au). It’s got all the water fun that anyone could ask for and it’s only an hour drive from Wagga Wagga. First up is Lake Talbot, only 1.5 kilometres from the centre of town, and home to a huge outdoor swimming complex and also the perfect lake for water skiing, canoeing or boating. Lake Talbot Aquatic Park boasts four swimming pools, terraced lawns, shady trees, a kiosk, barbeques and two exhilarating water slides. It is open every day from November through to Easter except Christmas Day. The Rocky Waterholes area, just off the Old Wagga Road, is another great place to stay cool in the shade of river red gums. The reinstated Rocky Waterholes Bridge links public reserve areas north and south of the Bundidgerry Creek and these spots are great for picnics, fishing and canoeing. Narrandera also has some of the best access points to the Murrumbidgee River including Brewery Flat which is just off the Newell Highway and Town Beach on August Street. In Leeton, just a half hour drive from Narrandera, your day trip can turn to wildlife at Fivebough Wetlands (www.fiveboughwetlands.org.au). Just two kilometres from the centre of town, Fivebough is 350 hectares of internationally recognised and protected wetlands.
