Brooklyn Community Association General Meeting Newsletter of the Brooklyn Community Association Inc February 2019 (Next Issue June 2019) President’s Report We hope you can join us for our first meeting for 2019. We have changed the time of our meetings to 3pm to make it easier for families with children in Saturday morning sport to get involved and attend the BCA meetings. We have many items to discuss and would like your input. The BCA committee met with Hornsby Council late last year regarding the Masterplan. Council have decided to conclude the Brooklyn Improvement Masterplan process and are now going forward with their new “placemaking” approach with a focus on achievable improvements using early work completed by the consultants. Even before the official statement, the BCA began work with the Council to activate the Hawkesbury River Arts Cottage for our community. We see the cottage as an important space for connection, creation and discussion. We have had a couple of meetings with Council officers to discuss the renovation and use of the cottage, and we will review the formal proposal we made to the Council at the meeting. NSW State Property arranged a walk around Peat Island on the 10th of February. The zoning plans are now with the Central Coast Council and following zoning approval, will be put up for community consultation. Whilst there have been great improvements to the first plan, we are still concerned that there are plans for 268 dwellings which will put a demand on current infrastructure. And unfortunately, there is not a current study on the cumulated effects on the surrounding communities across the river. We continue to ask that this is included. The plan is for zoning only at this point. Peter Davis and Juno Gemes have put together an alternate vision for Peat Island. Pete will be discussing this at our meeting ahead of a workshop at the Mooney Mooney Chapel the next day, Sunday March 3rd at 10:00 am. We have also written and talked with both Hon Matt Kean MP and the General Manager of the Hornsby Ku ring gai Hospital regarding the Brooklyn Community Health Centre. We asked for their commitment for the centre as it is today to remain, which they have given. We will discuss further at the meeting. And more good news, the grant for the permanent stage at the Rest Park has been approved and the money is on the way. We are working with the Theatre in the Park group to get work started soon and will plan to have the stage completed before the next wonderful play to be produced in November.

Profile: Ambrose Reisch 30 years painting on the Hawkesbury River Living and painting in Brooklyn for the past 30 years has both sustained me as an artist being exposed to a robust unpredictable river environment, and as a local being part of an evolving dynamic community. We moved to Brooklyn in 1988 with my wife Miriam and daughter Anna. Dylan our son was born that same year. For most of this time I exhibited in the city though all my painting was realised here in Brooklyn. My first exhibition was at the Patonga gallery in Patonga in 1989, one year after we arrived and we travelled there by boat from Brooklyn, which was a wonderful induction for a ‘tenderfoot’ from the city into the ‘river mythology’. In those early years I also had the good fortune to have designed the current Brooklyn Public School badge. Last year I was invited to submit an article celebrating 30 years of living and painting in Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River. The article, ’30 years of Hawkesbury Dreaming” was published in Ozarts magazine, Spring Edition, No. 16, November 2018. The article is biographical and surveys a ‘painter’s journey’ that highlights my intellectual and artistic interest. You can view the article in the Ozarts Magazine or on my website in publications ‘Hawkesbury Dreaming’ at www.ambrosereisch.com Ambrose Reisch 0450 302 615 [email protected] Page 2 Advertisement Jazz in Brooklyn!

Locations are available on the interactive map, or view a list of locations by region. The RMS program is the only regulated way to dispose of expired flares. There may be some limited exceptions to this in some locations, however the most important thing to remember is to dispose of an expired flare safely, remembering also that it’s an offence to set off a flare unless it’s an emergency.

KNC Volunteer Program - Calling YOU to become involved… The Kur-ing-Gai Neighbourhood Centre (KNC) Volunteer Program is up and running providing services to those in the Brooklyn and Dangar Island areas. The KNC Volunteer Program provides services that are targeted to seniors who are frail or may need access to rehab, etc. with such assistance as: ➢ Meals on Wheels - the service needs drivers to deliver meals for a few hours each month. ➢ Easy Care Gardening - Do you love the outdoors? The service needs volunteers to help in small friendly teams to create low maintenance gardens. ➢ Neighbourhood Aid - Help a frail or elderly person stay independent. Drivers are needed to provide transport to appointments, visit sick relatives in hospital, shopping and social visits. If you would like to take advantage of any of these services or ask questions about your particular need, all it takes is a phone call to KNC on 02 9988 4966, who are waiting to assist you.

Page 3 Tomatoes A Story by Ted Roberts This is probably a yarn, meaning it might or might not be true. So I can’t tell you who passed it on to me, and I can’t tell you the real names of the people involved. But I’ll tell you anyway. Anyway, this story, the old man said to me. I heard it when I was a kid about ten or so, and we’d moved across to Dangar from Brooklyn.

  • Act Three: Scene One the View from Above
    Act Three: The View from Above Scene One The DMR observer in the helicopter was Hal Gregge. He describes what it was like looking down from above: “Anything on a main road is our responsibility, so with a thing like the ferries, the buck stops with us. The helicopter pilot was called Noel and the fellow we were reporting to was Bill McIntyre who was running the workshop at Granville. That was our central workshop - we had all trades and 400 people working there then. We used to support all the ferries from there - they had riggers and people like that and we’d overhaul the ferry engines there. We used to have the patterns to cast the spider wheels, even. It’s all closed down now, though. Bill was organising ground support. He’s retired now. “By the time the helicopter got up to Wisemans, we found noth- ing there. Noel is a very good pilot. He did his training all over the world and has been under fire and everything, so we were able to fly quite low at times when we needed to. We zoomed in around Webbs Creek. There was a set of piers there that they normally tie the ferry to, but of course they were empty. We went around the corner to the piles for the other two ferries, but they’d gone, too. So we just followed the river down at a reasonable height. It wasn’t a bad day on the Tuesday - the flood was well up, but the cloud and rain were gone.

  • Hawkesbury River Oyster Shed Pete O’Sullivan Has Owned Oyster Leases on the Hawkesbury River Since 2006, Growing Two Types of Oysters, Sydney Rock and Pacific Oysters
    Newsletter of the Brooklyn Community Association Inc May 2018 President’s Report (Next Issue August 2018) Not only do we live in the lucky country, we live in a wonderful community. Did you know that over a quarter of Australians live alone which can result in isolation and increased mental health issues? Here in Brooklyn we have so many opportunities for young and old to get involved, make friends and stay connected. This edition of the Gateway explores the many activities that are happening in our community. We are excited to let you know about new volunteer opportunities - the Brooklyn Community Association now has two new subcommittees. One is the oral history project. We plan to record the stories of the wonderful, interesting people that have made Brooklyn what it is today. We want to ensure that these stories are saved and shared. Our sustainability subcommittee has already met to discuss recycling, and we are looking into renewable energy options for the community. To see the exciting work other communities are doing go to http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-07/people-power:-communities-funding-their-own-wind/9630150. If you are interested in either subcommittee, send an email to [email protected], indicate your subject of interest and we will contact you with more information. Since our last meeting, the committee has been working to ensure the Independent Hearing and Assessment Panel selection process is fair and transparent and we have attended Council meetings to express our views. We will update you at the next meeting.

  • Brooklyn Community Association General Meeting
    Newsletter of the Brooklyn Community Association Inc February 2018 (Next Issue May 2018) President’s Report We are looking forward to a great year at the BCA and in our community. We have some new members on the committee, Ingrid Segovia, who is heading up our environment and sustainability subcommittee, Jayne Donnelly who has revamped our website and will be getting us onto a much better looking and efficient mailing program and Brian Scarsbrick. Now that Brian is newly retired he can join us on the committee along with representing Ward A for the Independent Hearing and Assessment Panel (IHAP). It is great news that someone with Brian’s background will be helping to review planning in our Council. After the input from Liz Surrest at our last meeting regarding the burnouts on Pacific Highway and how dangerous the road is, the BCA took up the issue with the Advocate and Matt Kean’s office. Some of you might have read the grim statistics of the stretch of road from Brooklyn to Cowan. In the last five years, there have been 96 accidents with 44 serious injuries and 5 fatalities! Imagine if we added the accidents that happened on the M1 on that same stretch - it might be one of the most dangerous areas for accidents! Both the Brooklyn Masterplan and Peat Island are in holding patterns. We were told that the Councillors would be getting briefed on the Masterplan as we go to press and our Ward Councillors and Mayor are still supporting the Masterplan. Nathan Tilbury will be at the meeting to provide a briefing.
