The Regent Guest House was built Mr. and Mrs. Jim Roberts in the early twenties. It was, and remained a family holiday home for over 30 years. Mr. George Collins spent leave during the war and made up his mind to own it one day. When The Regent came on the market, George and his wife Joan, and partners George and Rose Phillips became owners in 1948. Thousands of guests passed their happy holidays here. George Collins bought out the Phillips family in 1956, intending to convert the Guest House into a Caravan Park. Because of the flood fear it remained as a guest house and Motel. One Guinea for Dinner, Bed and Breakfast. Wanting to modernise the choice was a Motel or a Nursing Home. Mrs. Collins was being a trained Nurse (ex Army). So it became a Nursing Home. (badly wanted in the district). The building was brought up to Health requirements and the home was called "The Regent Riverside Nursing Home ". It was opened in 1960 and had 19 patients. Mrs. Cutherwell (mother of the Estate Agent) was the first patient. Within a week all beds were occupied. As the need grew extra beds to 35 were added. In 1968 Mr. and Mrs. Proudman (both trained nurses) bought the Nursing Home and. they added a new wing. After several years it again had a new name. It was changed to Wyong Nursing Home and it was bricked over, another wing added bringing the number of patients to 80 and employing more staff. ( Staff is regulated by Health Department.) It is now a credit to the businesses in the Wyong Shire. Still in use in 2018. Foot note: When doing the research for the Guest House an interesting document came to light that we thought would be of interest to our readers. At first we thought it was a letter but it turned out to be a short story and as such was to long to include in the News Letter. It was decided to make it available as a supplement and send it to you along with this Newsletter. It is not politically correct in this day and age, we don’t know the author, or is it fact or fiction but it makes good reading. HOME FEBRUARY 2018 NEWSLETTER 22 PAGE | 4 EDITORIAL Belated warm greetings to everyone for 2018. May it provide many beautiful moments and treasured memories. Buoyed on by the growing popularity of the homestead which became so apparent last year, let’s hope we can all help write the next annual chapter in the life of Alison Homestead by setting new goals and doing our very best to achieve them. 2018 has kicked off on a positive note. Several bookings for visits and tours of the museum are already in the diary and an early highlight was the visit on Saturday 13th January by more than eighty members of two classic car clubs. A couple of forthcoming events to keep in mind include the official opening sometime in March or April of the revamped Pearce’s flower shed …and a Devonshire tea morning during Seniors’ Week in April…(see more info later in this newsletter). You will receive a flyer about the flower shed opening when the date of the event has been determined. Our horizons are also broadening on the events front. A wedding planner called in recently to check out the facilities here and has added the Homestead to her discerning list of potential wedding venues. Other businesses are showing interest in what the Homestead has to offer for similar functions. HOME FEBRUARY 2018 NEWSLETTER 22 PAGE | 5 PRESIDENT’S REPORT Welcome to another year of expansion and activity at Alison Homestead. Life …as I am sure you will agree…is a great teacher, especially when it teaches you be persistent and remain optimistic. I say this as the long awaited extension to the Mens’ Shed is set to commence. I have kept the phone lines to the Council very busy for the past six or so months. It’s hoped 2018 will see a growing number of volunteers attracted to the Homestead. Already we have some new faces on the scene, some who are keen to be part of the gardening brigade and another who is putting her archival skills to good and much-appreciated use..,but it’s hoped more men will join up when the expanded Mens’ Shed become a reality in the near future. Volunteers are often quiet-achievers and whilst they may choose to maintain a low-profile… their efforts do not go unnoticed. I can say this from personal experience. It’s a delightful five kilometre drive through bushland along the Wyong River to my home at South Tacoma..but unfortunately some see it as a dumping ground. However, not a week goes by without me seeing one particular couple walking along the road ... and not just for regular exercise. Neil Hinton walks their dog and watches for traffic whilst his wife Jan, armed with bags, collects ALL the rubbish discarded by others too lazy to take it home. The lady in question leaves the rubbish at various points along the road and other locals who appreciate her efforts stop and pick it up and put it where it should go…in garbage bins. What environmental angels ! Greg Denning President HOME FEBRUARY 2018 NEWSLETTER 22 PAGE | 6 HISTORICAL NOTES "I REMEMBER WYONG, WHEN.” (Memoirs of Rene Levenspiel) At one time we lived in a house on the corner just before the Grand Hotel. (no brother yet) and I were wakened by a shower of silver spoons, forks, knives, etc. being thrown onto our bedspread and being tied into a knot. We and the silver were transported outside into the gutter. The place was on fire, our house being on the tail end of the buildings that were ablaze. Wyong had many fires. In the front garden was a huge, wondrous, old pepper tree where Jean and I used to play. Never did I imagine that twenty years later that dear old tree would be cut down and a service station would stand there instead or that I would marry the eventual owner. Now it's a bank. I only ever knew Railway Street as the Front Street. Then I found out the original name was Larnarch Street. When I asked my grandson the name of the street facing the railway he replied "The Pacific Highway, Lulla! ",. as though I knew nothing about it. It is good to know that our old Primary School has been classified. Built in 1889 of brick because of the white ant problem. Many families can claim fourth and fifth generation attendance. A teacher can influence you for life. I can still see the motto in my first classroom printed in chalk at. the top of the blackboard. Our teacher, Miss Ayling, had printed "Do it Now", I haven't always done it now, but I've tried. I will never forget Miss Ayling for another reason. My first few days at school were a little painful. I was recovering from a boil and dear teacher made a pillow of some old dusters for me to sit on and also made a friend for life. Another exceptional teacher was Mrs. Quinn. Could she whack! ! ! - always dear soul with just cause. It wasn't until we left school that we could value and appreciate her influence, In those days we had weekly scripture visits from the Methodist and C. of E. Ministers the Methodists in one room, the C of E's in another with a glass wall between. Because Jean and I always wanted to be together I got into the habit of forsaking the C of Es for the Methodists. One day when I decided to slip in with the Methodist the minister was told I was learning to play the piano so he gave me a hymn to learn. I practised and practised and came the day we all sang together "Jesus bid us shine". As I climbed down from the piano stool two eyes belonging to the C of E minister bored through the glass into my very soul. Next week I was back" with the C of Es. and that was the end of my helping Jesus to bid the Methodist shrine! In the Flu Epidemic of 1918 the school was turned into a hospital, We were then living in Baker's Lane ...Father's surgery opening into the front street. One Sunday, playing cubbies, I badly gashed my arm. It is said my screams were louder than the congregation singing in the Methodist Church behind the house. I was rushed to the school to the doctor in charge and I have only one comment: I hope his flu patients fared better than my arm, which still carries a ghastly scar today.

  • The Corridor's Strengths
    The Corridor’s strengths Wyong – a Town Centre with “good bones” Wyong Town Centre has many elements of a great regional centre, including an established fine grain street network with connections to a train station, Wyong River and open spaces. Home to the landmark Art House cultural facility, Council chambers and government agencies, Wyong is the cultural and civic Wyong River – a natural centrepiece core of the corridor. The character of Wyong Town Wyong River flows through the heart of the corridor, presenting as Centre is strengthened by a distinct heritage presence a natural centrepiece. Although access is constrained in some areas, and fine grain built form that line the high streets. the River is a significant asset, supporting an array of recreational activities including kayaking and fishing, as well as walking and cycle along the active transport links by the river foreshore. The River provides an important natural outlook for the surrounding urban Alison Street, Wyong areas. Tuggerah Lake, State Conservation Area (image: itsonlymylife163. blogspot) Natural Assets of Environmental Value The corridor is endowed with natural bushland precincts that provide environmental amenity to residents, workers and visitors. Tuggerah Nature Reserve features predominately untouched Wyong River from the Wyong Milk Factory bushlands and wetlands that have high conservation value, while the nearby Tuggerah State Conservation Area supports sustainable visitation and bushwalking. 26 DRAFT Tuggerah to Wyong Corridor Strategy Great local food, drink, arts and craft The Corridor features a growing number of exciting food, beverage, arts and craft offerings, building on growing interest in local and boutique products. There is a combination of restaurants, cafés, markets, function spaces and specialty stores in the area.

  • Settlement of the Tuggerah Lakes
    Settlement of the Tuggerah Lakes The ecological history of the Tuggerah Lakes over the last 200 years is closely linked to the pattern of European settlement both around the lakes and within the upper catchment. As settlement spread throughout the district, activities such as the clearing of land, logging, fishing and urban development have all had impacts on the ecology of the lakes. To understand when each of these impacts occurred, the settlement of the Tuggerah Lakes and its catchment has been divided into four broad time periods. These are; • Aboriginal settlement • The first European settlers (1820s – 1870s) • Settlement after the opening of the railway (1880s – 1950s) • Urban Development (1960s – 1990s) Historical documents which provide an insight into the rates of settlement and associated activities during each of these time periods, are presented in the following sections. Table 1 provides a summary of some key dates in the development of the region. Table 1. Significant events in the development of the Tuggerah Lakes and its catchment Date Activity 1825 First settlers arrived. Early 1830s Logging commenced in the upper catchment, principally for cedar. Early 1830s Felton Mathews surveyed the district. 1832 The Great North Road was opened, principally as a means of providing access to the Hunter District from Sydney. There were two branches from this road into Wyong. 1830s Cabbage Tree Harbour provided a shipping point for cedar from the 1830s onwards. Gosford was another such departure point. Early1850s Hargraves residence at Noraville constructed using cedar from the valleys behind Wyong. 1854 Jane Taylor acquired all the land of what is now The Entrance.

  • 2. the Structure of the Current Central Coast Water Supply System
    2. The structure of the current Central Coast water supply system Gosford City and Wyong Shire Councils share a joint water supply scheme administered by the Gosford/Wyong Council’s Water Authority. This is the third largest water supply system in NSW (see Figure 1). Figure 1: The Current Central Coast Water Supply System (Source: Gosford Wyong Councils’ Water Authority http://www.gwcwater.nsw.gov.au/index.php/our-system) Water is drawn from four streams (Mangrove and Mooney Creeks in Gosford and Wyong River and Ourimbah Creek in Wyong). The building of water storage infrastructure was begun 75 years ago, but most infrastructure in use today was completed during the past thirty years. Currently, the system incorporates three dams, three weirs, two treatment plants, 40 reservoirs, and 1900 km of pipelines. It has a total catchment area of about 700 square kilometres. Water is drawn from Mooney Dam and weir pools on Wyong River, Mangrove Creek and Ourimbah Creek. Wyong River and Ourimbah Creek extractions are stored in Mardi Dam. During dry periods, when the Coastal Mooney and Mardi Dams cannot meet the demand for water, supply can be released from Mangrove Creek Dam to provide adequate inflows at the weirs on Mangrove Creek and Wyong River. A key new element in WaterPlan 2050 (the long term water supply strategy for the Central Coast) is the Mardi-Mangrove Link Project. This will consist of a new 19 kilometre buried water pipeline from Mardi Dam to the existing Boomerang Creek tunnel at Mangrove Creek Dam together with supporting infrastructure. Construction of the pipeline will commence in early 2010 and will secure the region’s town water supply over the next four decades.

  • Warnervale Link Road Community Consultation Summary November 2017 - February 2018 Roads and Maritime Services | June 2018
    Warnervale Link Road Community Consultation Summary November 2017 - February 2018 Roads and Maritime Services | June 2018 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK Executive Summary The Central Coast Regional Plan 2036 identifies Warnervale as a regional growth centre. It is anticipated there will be about 75,500 additional people living in the area by 2036, as well as new employment lands being provided. The link road would provide the community with improved connectivity and traffic benefits as the population of the area continues to grow. The Warnervale Link Road was originally proposed by Central Coast Council to link the residential growth area of Warnervale to the administrative and commercial precincts of Wyong and Tuggerah. Roads and Maritime Services is continuing those investigations started by Central Coast Council to consider its feasibility, develop the road corridor and start planning for the future link. The Warnervale Link Road would be a 2.3-kilometre two lane road linking the Pacific Highway and Britannia Drive at Watanobbi to Albert Warner Drive at Warnervale. The proposal also includes upgrading the Pacific Highway to two lanes in each direction between Cutler Drive and Amy Close at North Wyong. This Community Consultation Summary provides an overview of the consultation carried out by Roads and Maritime on the strategic design of the proposed Warnervale Link Road between November 2017 and February 2018. It also summarises all feedback received and provides responses to all issues raised by the community and stakeholders. During the consultation period Roads and Maritime received 50 submissions. Key issues raised by the community included: • comments on design • traffic management (access, congestion and safety) • property impact (access, future property values, acquisition and compensation) • business impact (compensation for loss of business and/or business disturbance and impact on future plans/future land use).

  • Tuggerah Lakes Estuary Modelling K
    Tuggerah Lakes Estuary Modelling K. Brennan, B. Sanderson, A. Ferguson, T. Weber & S. Claus Final Report Contract Number: CPA/157279 Grantee: Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water Reporting Period: 01 August 2009 – 29 July 2010 Executive Summary Tuggerah Lakes is a coastal lagoon system consisting of three shallow interconnecting lagoons. From north to south the lakes are Lake Munmorah, Budgewoi Lake and Tuggerah Lake with Tuggerah Lake having the only connection with the ocean at The Entrance. The lakes are fed by four major tributaries – Wyong River and Ourimbah, Wallarah and Tumbi creeks. The catchment has undergone substantial urban development and shoreline alterations over past century which have changed the ecological components and processes within the estuary. There is a potential risk in deterioration of the health of the lakes if catchment runoff exceeds the buffering capabilities of the ecosystem. The NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) have been subcontracted by Wyong Shire Council to fulfil some of the knowledge gaps in the Estuary Management Plan and to identify potential risks within the catchment. A series of integrated catchment, hydrodynamic and estuary response models have been developed to represent the Tuggerah Lakes catchment. These models simulate the processes occurring within the system to predict nutrient and sediment loads entering the lakes and the likely effect these loads have on the ecosystem. Catchment modelling suggests that the larger rural subcatchments deliver the largest amount of nutrients and sediments per year and dominate the loading in the lakes. The fringing lake catchments are highly developed and contribute frequent and concentrated flows.

  • CASE STUDY: Responding to a Natural Disaster the Worst in Nature - the Best in Us Responding to a Natural Disaster
    CASE STUDY: Responding to a Natural Disaster The Worst in Nature - The Best in Us Responding to a Natural Disaster AAP Breaking News 2007, June 09, 01: 52 am NSW Premier declares natural disaster: NSW Premier Morris Iemma has declared a "natural disaster" for the Hunter and Central Coast regions after severe storms over the past 24 hours caused widespread damage. Mr Iemma said the declaration of a natural disaster area triggered a range of assistance for individual residents, business owners and councils whose properties have been damaged by the strong winds, rain and flooding …… Plate 1: Flash flooding, Newcastle West Plate 2: SES taking people to safety, Plate 3: Flooding of residential areas (ABC, Janek ) Wyong (SES) Chittaway (SES) CENTRAL COAST NSW, JUNE 2007. Where were you on Friday 8th June 2007? Were you caught in the gale force winds and torrential rainfall that struck coastal New South Wales on that Friday afternoon? When did you first become aware that the storm damage and floods were of such intensity that only the formal declaration of a “natural disaster” would be adequate to deal with the consequences of this surprise weather event? CASE STUDY In this Case Study of a Natural Disaster we seek to answer the following questions: How do we as a community research natural disasters? How do we plan for them? How do we respond to them? We will mainly be concerned with analysing the events of June 2007 as an example of a relatively extreme, damaging weather event, related to the mechanisms of the global water cycle, and requiring both immediate short term responses as well as long-term planning.

The extent of the original construction period of the house. The guiding principle is to retain and conserve all original fabric in original locations, even the remnant walls of the original . I' kitchen at the east. end of the house. However, the guidance of an archaeologist or heritage . architect qualified to assess and date building fabric will be required if a·major overhaul is I undertaken to the original portions of the house according to the Heritage Act ofNSW guidelines. The circa 1960s/1970s additions to the house have no heritage value and may be removed or redeveloped as long as the works do not endanger any fabric of the original P'?rtions of the house. ' I 2. Unknown are the locations of privy pits, ash pits, rubbish pits and wells where household rubbish was disposed of. These items were probably located to the east of the house and east end of the property. If any substantial subsurface excavation is required in these areas, the areas I should be monitored by aqualified archaeologist accordi:fig to the guidelines of the Heritage Act ofNSW (1977). ' I 3. If the 'U' -shaped accommodation buildings to the north side of the house are to be demolished, they .should be monitored as demolition proceeds by an archaeologist in case earlier structures have been incorporated in them.

    Draft Central Coast Regional Plan Submission On Warnervale Airport 23 March 2016 Page 1 29/03/2016 Contents Executive Summary Introduction Document Format Section 1 Warnervale Airport and relevance to the Central Coast Regional Plan Section 2 Response to Kiar Ridge and Warnervale Airport: Wyong Shire Council Business Papers Confidential Session of the Ordinary Council Meeting October 2015 Appendix 1 Documents referred to in Sections 1 and 2. Appendix 2 Wyong Shire Council Business Papers Confidential Session of the Ordinary Council Meeting October 2015 Appendix 3 Letters and submissions to NSW Government Page 2 29/03/2016 Executive Summary Airport Process to date A Warnervale Airport is not viable, desirable or necessary. It does not comply with the goals of the Central Coast Regional Plan and should not be included in the Plan. In 2012 the Sydney Second Airport needs study included an airport at Wallarah in the 17 sites studied. In December 2012, Wyong Shire Council included a variation of the Wallarah Type 3 2,600m airport in their LEP. There was essentially no community consultation on the issue and a series of confused messages from Wyong Mayor Eaton as to what size airport Council intended. It was found through GIPA applications that Council secretly planned to host Sydney’s Second Airport. Following submissions from the community, Council’s 2,600m Airport was excluded from the final LEP. Regional Plan Goals Warnervale Airport does not comply with the goals of the Regional Plan. • Goal 1: Enhance community lifestyles and accelerate housing supply. Warnervale Airport is incompatible with this goal as it adversely affects community lifestyles and makes living in surrounding areas undesirable.
