4 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 31 July, 2019
Thanks Dick for
tax generosity
Dear Sir,
The Australian Taxpayers’
Alliance commends millionaire
businessman DickSmith
and welcomes his upcoming
voluntary payment to the Australian
Tax Office.
“While we thank Smith for his
apparent generosity in wanting
to donate $500,000 to the public
purse, we wish that he would
demonstrate this by donating
the money himself and not by
demanding tax hikes on other
retirees.
Franking credit refunds are
not handouts. Rather, they provide
some relief from Australia’s
whopping 30 percent company
tax paid by businesses on the
behalf of shareholders, to retirees
across the country: one of
the highest rates in the developed
world.
They encourage Australians
to invest in local companies,
thereby supporting the employment
of thousands of workers.
While Smith may not think he
deserves to keep as much of his
own money, that is no excuse
to go after hardworking Australians
who have planned for
their retirement security around
this important concession; one
which also encourages many
Australians to support themselves
through their own shares
and thereby lessens reliance on
the public purse.
We are certain that Dick Smith
is not a virtue-signalling hypocrite
who would make such a
grand public declaration without
substantiating it with action
and are sure that he will
provide confirmation and proof
of his $500,000 donation in due
course.
He can do thin y making a
voluntary payment which will
not be refunded unless he asks,
according to the ATO website.
Perhaps some of the money
can subsidise relief to ordinary
Australians hit by the online
shopping tax which he vociferously
lobbied for.
SATYA MARAR
Australian Taxpayers
Alliance
Extravagance a
real concern
Dear Sir,
I note that the proposed
rooftop bar is a major selling
point ofThe New Heart
of Rydeand I wonder how
many Council staff will be
visiting the conveniently located
bar?
In the Council image “Rooftop
Bar” there are kids wandering
around but I would
have thought leaving the kids
at the child care centre would
Letters to the Editor
have been more appropriate.
Extravagance is a concern
given Ryde Council has
shown it will spend $8 million
on projects where less than a
million dollars is needed.
A year ago Ryde Council
had $210 million of financial
assets yet Council tells us that
even after raiding reserves it
will be plunged into debt over
The New Heart of Ryde that
will bleed cash for years to
come.
Ratepayers are already
taxed to the max hence this
charge into debt by council.
It is an impressive design,
a monument to the ALP controlled
council, but it reminds
me of another well promoted
piece of infrastructure by a
former ALP state government,
the Parramatta to Chatswood
Rail Link.
Half the job, almost twice
the budgeted cost and built
at an angle too steep for most
trains – a monumental ALP
failure that was well portrayed
at the start.
FRANK RAYNER

Council Alderman)
Property rights
over waterfront
Dear Sir,
As a local resident with a
non waterfront property to
Glades Bay, I couldn’t leave
Mr Cleary’s tirade go without
response.
Firstly his view, and that
of Comrade Laxale’s idea of
property rights over waterfront
properties in Glades Bay is so
poorly informed it should be
embarrassing.
The link between Bill Mitchell
Park and Ross Street reserve
was not proceeded with
before as council did not, and
still does not, have any legal
right to build a boardwalk in
front of waterfront properties,
where their boundaries extend
to the mean high water mark.
Council is currently wasting
$175k of ratepayers money,
investigating extending the
boardwalk, knowing they cannot
do it legally.
Their bullying tactics will
likely have the matter in court,
spending more of ratepayers
money.
The concept of access to
the river for everybody could
only have been possible more
than 150 years ago, when
the original subdivisions were
drawn.
As Mr Cleary rightfully acknowledged,
the provision for
public access to the waterfront
was made by the provision
of the many parks and
reserves along the river, where
the right of public access is
beyond question.
Any assumed right of access

or the building of obstructing
boardwalks in front of private
waterfront land amounts to
anarchy.
GERRY MANDERSON
Gladesville
Common law rights
to river access
Dear Sir,
Paul Cleary appears to be
under a misaprehension,
when he states “I feel it is
very selfish of the handful of
people who apparently own
to the water line....putting
an objections in which takes
away access to the water
way which the entire communities
own”.
That access to Glades Bay
was sold by the State Government,
perhaps about 150 years
ago, when they sold that waterfront
land to private individuals.
The Waterfront Action Group,
of which I am President, obtained
written legal advice from
a Senior Counsel (and who is
now a Judge) in 2014, in this
matter and provided that advice
to Ryde Council then and
again more recently.
The legal advice was very
thorough and quoted numerous
court cases, going back
hundreds of years (to England
in some instances).
The Senior Counsel found
that there are properties in
Western Crescent Gladesville,
that enjoy Common Law riparian
rights of direct access to
Glades Bay.
Riparian rights include a right
of direct uninterrupted access
for people and water-craft to
a public waterway, similar to
the right of direct access for
people and vehicles to a public
road, enjoyed by other property
owners.
The current owners of those
waterfront properties in Western
Crescent paid a hefty premium
for those riparian rights,
as did about 120 other waterfront
property owners in the
Ryde LGA.
The State Government did
not sell all the waterfront land
along the Parramatta River to
private owners.
It left large areas of foreshore
land for public enjoyment and
Paul Cleary expressed his
gratitude for that wise decision
in his letter.
Perhaps Paul and his supporters
should consider how
they would react, if Ryde Council
chose to block their access
to a public road, from their
properties and how it would affect
their amenity and property
values.

TWT reporting on
Nelson Parade
Dear Sir,
Many people have commented
on how excellent the
reporting over the Nelson Parade
radioactive waste issue
has been in recent weeks.
Our parents were born in
Australia as were all of their
parents. And some ancestors
go back much further in this
land.
Of particular note has been
the two TWT articles concerning
last week’s Council meeting.
You have done an excellent
job to inform the Hunters Hill
community.
The Weekly Times has also
shown that it is a local newspaper
that not only informs the
community but respects community
sensitivity and fights
for the things the community
values.
Our community is fortunate
to have so many community
leaders such as Mayor Mark
Bennett, Emeritus Mayor Richard
Quinn and Phil Jenkyn
OAM.
Yet their voices – and the
voices of so many wonderful
local people – would only be
heard by a small section of our
community were it not for The
Weekly Times.
We have all sent submissions
to the Department of Planning
concerning the project to encapsulate
radioactive waste in
a residential street.
We thank The Weekly Times
for helping us.

Gearing up for Repco
Around Australia Re-Trial
KEEN ON another
15,000km rally I asked
my wife Liz over a glass
of red one night?
No way, remember
what I said after we did
the Peking to Paris –
“note for diary, never do
another car rally”.
Well after a bit of
persuading, another
red and me agreeing
to alternate co-drivers
with each doing one leg
of the rally, we sent our
entry in to compete in
the 2019 Repco Around
Australia Re-trial.
Many TWT readers will
be very familiar with the
early Redex and later
Repco Around Australia
events and while this
year’s rally won’t be
as arduous due to
improvements in roads
and stricter road rules
and regulations, the
organisers are going to
great lengths to build in
lots of challenges and
fun.
* * *
THESE LONG
distance endurance
rallies aren’t new to us
as we’d competed and
done well in the 2010
Peking to Paris, 2012
London to Cape Town,
2014 Africa Safari and
2015 Trans America as
well as numerous local
events.
Nevertheless we
weren’t getting any
younger and our
participation would
involve lots of time and
energy in planning, car
preparation and so on,
To The POINT
with GREG NEWTON
but what the heck, one
more tick on the bucket
list.
So the preparation
began in our Woolwich
garage.
Top end engine
overhaul, new wheel
bearings and seals, new
disc rotors and pads, rally
design shock absorbers,
suspension bushes,
paint work cleaned up,
rally stickers on.
I must thank three local
businesses who lent a
hand when needed –
John at Wyvern Smash
Repairs at Artarmon;
Vince at VM Automotive
at Gladesville and Kosi at
SignWave at Gladesville.
* * *
AND HERE we are
today, 12 months later
and literally only days
away from the start from
Melbourne Showground
on Monday August5, to
compete and celebrate
the 40th Anniversary of
the original 1979 REPCO
Reliability Trial.
Along with around
48 other historic rally
cars we head across
to Perth, then up to
Darwin and across to
Cairns, finishing back in
Melbourne on Sunday
September 1.
It will be an amazing,
yet challenging
adventure over 26 days,
15,000 kms (over 3,000
kms on dirt) and 30
special stages.
We will be competing in
our trusty rally car, a 1980
Holden Commodore,
which is a replica of the
Holden Dealer Team
Commodores that
originally competed back
in 1979.
And as agreed with
Liz, it will be a family
affair with Liz and our
three grown up children
in Katie, Nickie and
Sam, each co-driving
on a leg, each of around
3,750kms.
While this isn’t a charity
event, we all are acutely
aware of the challenges
facing homeless people
of all ages across
Australia.
So we have taken the
opportunity to raise
money for the homeless
along the way.
More specifically
through the charity
Backpackbed.org we
are raising money for the
purchase of backpack
beds for the homeless.
If you can, hop onto our
dedicated page at https://

What Nelson Parade locals say about
the toxic waste on their doorsteps
LAST week the Council voted by three votes to two not to support a proposal from Property
NSW to have the waste buried on site.
With resident submissions
being studied by an
independent panel, The
Weekly Times presents
comments (below) that
were made by residents
at the council meeting,
for and against the waste
burial option and for it to
be removed.
Emeritus Mayor Richard
Quinn: ‘‘We have a plan to
keep the most hazardous
waste encapsulated and
it cannot be accepted. It
is not best practice and
the community should accept
nothing less than best
practice.”
John Atkin: “The waste
has been here for more
than 100 years. We inherit
that legacy. The stigma is
long standing and it is not
going to be lifted overnight.”
Philippa Clark: “It is naive
to think we can trust the
government. There is no
reason for the contamination
to stay here.”
Michael Winter: ‘‘In a few
years we might have a Labor
government which will
blame this as a Liberal folly.
A future government might
find ways to remove it.”
Ian Rothwell: “There is
no alternative site (for the
waste) and good people
can do harmful things
when they think they are
acting in the greater good.”
Barry Buffier: “The preferred
option should be
to get rid of it. Taking it to
Kemps Creek is the best
option and removal inter-
Hunters Hill Emeritus Mayor Richard Quinn and Mayor Mark Bennett are
pictured on the contaminated site in Nelson Parade. Both have called on
the state government to remove the toxic waste. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO
state is the second best
option.”
Kathie Frankland: “This
material is actually in our
backyard. The issue is not
finding an alternative, the
issue is about the community
accepting a solution.”
Stephen McGlynn:
“Once it is on a truck you
can take it ten kilometres
or you can take it to the
moon. In Europe this is
done all the time.”
Andrew Frankland: “We
have contamination uncontrolled
and what we
will get (with on site burial)
is better than what we
have not. It can be moved
to a future site when such
a site becomes available.”
Ann Raciti: “I do not
support encapsulation
because I do not trust the
government. The government
has done nothing
to remove the waste, although
it has had plenty
of opportunity.”
Rosemary Manusu: “You
become embarrassed and
ashamed of your home.
I need this (waste burial)
action to start now because
I do not have ten
years to wait for it.”
Dr Bill Ryall: “Burial will
be very socially invasive.
There will be vibration in
much the same way as
WestConnex has impacted
on houses.”
David Morgan: “Our
business is crisis management
and Nelson Parade
is a crisis that has
festered. In 18 months we
have had nothing and now
we have a good plan.”
Phil Jenkyn OAM: “This
is a disaster and there is
a call for action and a call
for the government to take
action and remove this
waste.”

9.30am to 4pm.
The festival will include
free family fun
and entertainment at

and will be hosted by
MC Nick Fury with
the King and Queen
of Green to add a regal
touch to this ecofriendly

“The King and Queen

whilst providing
an entertaining message
on keeping things
green,” Hunters Hill
Council Events Coordinator
Gabby Cleary
said.
“Moocooboola is a
sustainable event with
a focus on reducing
single-use plastic, so
vendors will be using
plastic-free or biodegradable
bags and
utensils, but balloons
are banned from the
site.”
There will be two
stages which will feature
music, dance,
comedy, gymnastics
and other entertainment.
“Cedric Irving’s
Mighty Juggling Show
will thrill festival-goers
by show-casing amazing
feats of strength
and endurance, daring
escapes and a mindbending
act of mass
hypnosis,” Ms Cleary
said.
“Children can learn
circus skills at the free
Circus Playground
and all of the family
will love the shows in
the mini-spiegelesque
tent ‘La Petite Grande’
which returns after being
such a hit last year.”
“Fabulous food will
also be on offer from
a wide variety of vendors,
with everyone’s
favourite local and international
sweet and
savoury treats to enjoy.”
The Market Bazaar
will feature craft stalls
selling everything from
candles to designer
clothing, showbags
and jewellery.
“Fill your pantry with
fabulous spice mixes,
olive oil, honey, jams
and salamis.
“Lots of community
organisations will be
on hand to provide information
on local activities
and groups.
“Once again the SES,
Muogamarra Rural Fire
Brigade, St Johns Ambulance
and United
Resource Management
will have specialist
vehicles on display
including an historic
Blitz bushfire tanker.”
This year the rides include;
Dodgem Cars,
Turbo Tubs, Stunt
Jump, Ferris Wheel,
Giant Fun Slide, Cha
Cha, Swing Chairs and
many inflatables.
“Skills can be tested
at the traditional sideshow
games of the

Down, Duck Pond,
Lucky Envelopes and
Laughing Clowns. A
separate Kids’ Zone
will feature a jumping
castle and Zorb Balls.”

Dog Show with
prizes for best lookalike,
best trick and Dog

“Specifically, the
application is for the
construction of an exercise
area, picnic tables
and a pedestrian
access path in Forest

is successful
would be constructed
by the middle of 2020.
“We are also exploring
ways to bring the

Artsakh is an Armenian
speaking enclave
that borders Azerbaijan
where there is a fragile
ceasefire agreement
with the Turkish backed
Azerbaijan forces and
where the breakaway
republic is seeking international
recognition.
The unanimous City
of Ryde Council vote
responds to significant
lobbying from Ryde’s
large Armenian speaking
community through
Liberal Clr Sarkis Yedelian
OAM who spoke
on the issue during last
Tuesday night’s council
meeting.
Neither Turkey or
Azerbaijan have responded
to the Ryde
vote, so far.
“In 1991 I saw the
suffering of Armenians
as Azerbaijan tried to
ethnic cleanse,” Clr
Yedelian OAM said.
“Every year our residents
travel to Artsakh
to help people there live
a better life, we help the
people to live free from
the threat of genocide.
“Every day another
brave soldier, another
brave civilian dies at the
hands of Azerbaijan.”
Ms Sarin Zaitounian
from Ryde also made
an emotive appeal in
support of the friendship
agreement.
“Artsakh is close to
my heart and this year
Ryde’s sporting clubs
will visit Stepanakert,
so such a friendship
agreement will be empowering,
it will give
the people there confidence
for a peaceful
future and international
recognition.”
Sylvia Iskendarian described
the agreement
as a “beacon of hope”
and Hrant Boujikian
said it is an act of courage.
Kaylar Michaelian said
the Armenian speaking
community hopes the
agreement will lead to
further humanitarian
and economic support.
Armenian speaking
community members
who attended Tuesday
night’s council meeting
unanimously thanked
The Weekly Times for
this newspaper’s ongoing
support for their
community, for this
newspaper’s recognition
of the Armenian
Genocide during World
War One as well as for
TWT support for Armenian
cultural and charitable
groups.
The Friendship agreement
states that:
“The City of Ryde is
proud that on May 22,

2018, it unanimously
adopted a resolution
recognising the 30th
anniversary of the Artsakh
liberation movement
and honoured the
expression of the fundamental
human rights
of the native Armenian
population of the Republic
of Artsakh to exercise
self-determination
and democracy in
the face of tyranny.
“Stepanakert being
the largest city in the
Republic of Artsakh is
the most similar city to
Ryde on population,
economic and political
grounds and hosts a
large number of Ryde
Armenians as tourists
each year, which is all
in accordance with the
requirements of Ryde
City’s Protocol For International
And Australian
Friendship Agreements.
“The Armenian-Australian
community of
Ryde, through the Armenian
National Committee
of Australia, has
initiated this process
in accordance with the
Protocol For International
And Australian

interest in the City of

Emergency motion seeking
to restore harmony amongst
Ryde’s Chinese community
CONFLICT between two Chinese speaking community groups broke out
at Tuesday night’s City of Ryde council meeting where an emergency motion
was passed to restore community harmony.
Protestors opposed to
an extradition law between
China and Hong Kong
clashed with their pro-China
ideological opponents
at the meeting, which became
so heated Mayor
Jerome Laxale threatened
to evict the most agitated
protestors from the council
chamber as security
guards moved to prevent
fighting.
With a record placard
waving crowd in the public
gallery and with tensions
at boiling point, Clr Simon
Zhou put forward the emergency
motion, which empowers
the Ryde Harmony
Committee to intervene.
He specifically stressed
that the City of Ryde opposes
any activity that encourages
any illegal actions
and acts of violence.
“What I saw in the public
gallery is that people are
talking against each other
and online and it is full of
hatred .. this is a dangerous
game,” he said.
“Action needs to be
taken to restore harmony
and social cohesion with
within the Australian Chinese
community in the City
of Ryde.”
Councillor Dr Peter Kim
introduced a second and
successful emergency motion
that he be appointed
to the harmony committee
and he accused Clr Zhou
of being biased in favour of
the pro-China group.
It was Dr Kim who last
month introduced a motion
that the City of Ryde
opposes the proposed extradition
law and supports
freedom of speech in Hong
motes each region’s
social, cultural and economic
objectives, in line
with the Protocol For International
And Australian
Friendship Agreements
“That Council hereby
appoints Mayor Jerome
Laxale and Councillor
Sarkis Yedelian as Co-
Chairs of the Ryde –
Stepanakert Friendship
City Committee, and
that they be authorised
to appoint additional
Kong and democracy.
“I did not propose this
motion to split Hong Kong
Chinese from Mainland
Chinese,” he said.
“Harmony means that
you and I agree to disagree.
“Over there, in China, if
you speak out against the
government you get put
in prison and you do not
come back.
“What I do not like about
this (Zhou) emergency
motion is that we have a
pro-China group and a
pro-Hong Kong group and
you send this up to a Harmony
Committee where
it is chaired by Councillor
Zhou who, guess what, is
pro-China.”
Councillor Zhou has
stressed that his sole motivation
is to restore harmony.
The City of Ryde’s prodemocracy
resolution was
strongly supported by one
group at the meeting and
strongly opposed by the
rival group, who said the
council should not interfere
in a foreign affairs issue.
“The harmony in the community
has deteriorated
since that council resolution,”
Dr Felix Lo said at the
council meeting.
“I want to prohibit future
council meetings for interfering
in foreign politics and
affirm that Ryde Council
was not fully informed of
the circumstances behind
this (June 25) motion and
resolution.”
Jenny Lau agreed.
“What is the duty of a local
council?” she asked.
“It is not to deal with an
overseas dispute, this is
members of the Committee.
“That the Committee
explore with the upcoming
Artsakh Republic
Delegation visit to
Sydney, headed by the
country’s Foreign Minister,
The Honourable
Masis Maylian, opportunities
and avenues to
building closer social,
cultural and economic
ties between the Cities
of Ryde and Stepanakert.”
not the place to fight an
overseas issue and it is not
the council’s role to create
conflict in the community.”
Jerry Zheng also condemned
the council resolution.
Mayor Jerome Laxale upholds
the council’s role in
debating foreign affairs issues
that impact on Ryde
residents.
“We did see some interesting
scenes in the public
gallery and I support the
motion to bring both communities
together,” he said.
In support of the council
resolution, Master William
Ho vowed he would conduct
two lion dances in
Eastwood to celebrate it.
Dr Bin Lin said he continues
to support the council
resolution despite receiving
threats.
“I received a threating letter
asking me not to criticise
China,” he said.
“But the quality of freedom
in Hong Kong is declining
rapidly and the
extradition law will send a
suspect from Hong Kong
to China.”
Man Mun Pong also
spoke in favour of the council
resolution and warned
that freedom in Hong Kong
“will not last long” but Hugh
Lee OAM stressed that the
extradition law is not something
new to curb freedom
and was first enacted to
bring a murderer to justice.
Myers Jee Ho Chak described
the council resolution
as “cutting the throat
and not knowing the
shame” and questioned
how familiar Dr Kim is with
Hong Kong issues.

Macquarie Park Cemetery and Crematorium do death
differently at a Dying To Know Day
MACQUARIE Park Cemetery and Crematorium will host an open
day to encourage people to talk about death on Thursday, August
8 from 10am until 3pm.
Titled “Doing Death
Differently – Dying
To Know Day” it is
part of a growing national
movement that
encourages people
to talk more about
the sensitive topics
of death, dying and
breavement.
Northern Cemeteries
Chief Executive
Officer Pauline Tritton
said the event is
part of the Care and
Wellbeing Program,
which is designed to
deepen the facility’s
unique connection
and contribution to
the many communities
it serves.
“Some people
can really struggle
socially, culturally
and personally
with the concept of
even starting healthy
dialogue around the
often delicate and
complex issues associated
with death
and dying,” Mrs Tritton
explained.
“Dying To Know
Day is a wonderful
opportunity for informed
discussions,
in a supportive and
safe environment, allowing
people to talk
directly with those
working in the industry,
as well as learn
about how to have
important conversations
with their family
and friends.”
Attractions include
walks and talks, historic
hearses, coffin
decorating and a
Momento Mori photo
display og artistic or
symbolic reminders
of mortality.
There will also be a
Death Caf, and therapeutic
harp playing.
The North Ryde
RSL Sub Branch will
mark Victory in the
Pacific Day celebrations
with a tribute to
ex servicemen who
died in the Pacific
theatre of war.
Other presenters include
Susan Moylan
Coombs on Indigenous
attitudes towards
death, funeral
directors, celebrants
and cemetery representatives
speaking
about “doing death
differently”.
Macquarie Park
Cemetery and Crematorium
is acknowledged
as one of the
most beautiful memorial
parklands in
New South Wales.
Reflecting Sydney’s
multicultural society,
it serves all religious,
ethnic, cultural and
personal requirements.
“Macquarie Park
believes our strong
support of the national
initiative will
help highlight how
it actively engages
with its community to
show the important
role cemeteries play.
“We strive to be
always caring and
relevant – and that
means letting people
of all ages know we
are here as much for
the living as we are
for those who are remembered.”
The Macquarie Park
Cemetery is located
at the corner of Delhi
and Plassey Roads in
North Ryde.
This brightly painted
coffin at the
Macquarie Park
Cemetery and Crematorium
reflects
the themes of nature
and challenges
people to look at
death, dying and
breavement in a
new and creative
way.
Join us for Dying
to Know Day

A sneak preview inside the New Heart of Ryde
THE City of Ryde has released a new indicative
image detailing how the interior
of the New Heart of Ryde community facility
could look.
Mayor Jerome Laxale
said community feedback
has stressed a
need for the New Heart
of Ryde to be iconic,
comfortable, assessible
and functional.
“The Ryde community
has expressed a
need to enhance cultural
and community
facilities to meet the
increasing demand
and ensure equitable
access for all sections
of our community,” he
said.
“Therefore, the proposal
features a flexibly-designed,
multipurpose
cultural and
community space, as
well as a space with
offices, childcare facilities,
commercial
and retail facilities, an
outdoor plaza, on-site
basement parking,
public meeting rooms
and Council chambers.
“The New Heart of
Ryde will also be a low
impact development
featuring two buildings
that will address the
growing demand within
Ryde for a new and
significant space that
will service a diverse
range of community
needs.”
Formal consultation
on The New Heart of
Ryde proposal will take
place until Sunday, August
25 with all members
of the community
encouraged to have
their say.
Submissions can be
made through the online
survey at www.
ryde.nsw.gov.au/heart
or by email at cityofryde@ryde.nsw.gov.
au.
Postal submissions
should be sent
to: General Manager,
City of Ryde, Locked

NSW 1670.
Controversial Gannan Park master
plan approved by councillor voting
THE GANNAN and McAuley Park master plan was endorsed by City of Ryde concillors on Tuesday
night despite objections from local residents.
Councillors voted by six votes to
three to push the master plan through
and to reject an amendment by Clr
Roy Maggio for conciliation talks to be
held between the residents and promaster
plan sports groups.
Residents who spoke at the meeting
accused the councillors of ignoring
their objections to the proposed redevelopment
of the park for 30 hours
of team sports use each week, which
they claim will severely impact on their
street parking and will subject them to
invasive floodlighting and noise.
In support of the master plan, Labor
councillors stressed that residents will
continue to have a say as part of an
on-going master plan consultation
process and can comment on the 68
endangered car parking spots as well
as a possible north to south alignment
of a sports pitch.
Liberals Clr Jordan Lane and Clr
Trenton Brown argue that it is misleading
to suggest that residents will
continue to have a say because their
objections have been ignored, so far.
“The master plan is not a compromise,
there is no evidence of what the
residents say and death by bureaucracy
is a real thing,” Clr Lane said.
Councillor Brown evoked the spirit
of the late Bob Hawke in an attempt
to change the mindset of the Labor
councillors.
“The master plan is premature and
one of the things Bob Hawke was
good at was consensus and here we
have the same opportunity to achieve
consensus.”
Mayor Jerome Laxale (ALP) denied
the Liberal claims and stressed the
need for new sports fields to cope with
a “state government imposed” overdevelopment
across the City of Ryde.
“These claims that issues have not
been addressed are incorrect, simply
incorrect,” he said.
“This is a public park and there is a
greater good at play here.”
The Mayor was strongly supported
by Labor colleague Clr Dr Peter Kim.
“There has been extensive consultation
and while we cannot make everyone
happy we need to make decisions,”
he said.
“The council simply does not have
enough sports grounds.”
Resident Dr John Crimmins accused
council staff of presenting a
master plan to councillors that lacked
evidence and was biased in favour of
sports groups.
“If this is the way we conduct consultation
then we are not being listened
too in a meaningful way,” he said at the
council meeting.
Local resident Jonathon Betts believes
that local parks should be for
the enjoyment of local people.
“Gannan Park was always for passive
recreational use, an open space
for the enjoyment of locals,” he said.
“The area is simply not built for an
influx of parking and I am not happy
we will have to park a long way away.”
In contrast, sports group advocate
Buckley Findley said residents will get
“better value for their homes” because
they can be advertised as being close
to both sporting and passive recreational
parkland.
“Just because a ground becomes
a football ground it does not mean it
is not used for passive recreation as
well,” he said.
Sports groups who spoke at the
council meeting included Ryde Magic
FC, the North Ryde Soccer Club,
North West Sydney Women’s Football,
the Ryde Eastwood Touch Football
group and Cricket NSW, which wants
to build three cricket nets at the site.
“We are in great need of extra training
and playing facilities and Gannan
Park sits smack in the middle of our
football world,” Mark Simpson from
the North Ryde Soccer Club said.
With residents and sports groups
equally passionate about the future of
the two parks, Clr Roy Maggio said he
is standing behind his amendment for
conciliation talks between the two opposed
sides.
“The reason for my amendment
was to make sure that the residents
groups, the clubs and the associations
are collaborating on a way forward,”
he said.
“The main concerns are the alignment
of the fields and parking.
“A meeting to discuss these concerns
and provide another options
would be ideal and I am very much an
advocate for activation of our parks for
a active and healthy city with both active
and passive recreation.”

Residents oppose West Ryde
to Eastwood traffic proposal
AN Eastwood and West Ryde residents’ action group has urged locals to oppose a
council proposal to significantly change traffic conditions in Bellevue Avenue.
The group has urged
other residents to submit
objections to the
proposal by the close
of submissions on
Monday, August 12 and
to let Ryde MP Victor
Dominello know how
strongly they feel about
it.
“Ryde City Council
has a plan to put a new
set of traffic lights at the
intersection of Bellevue
Avenue and Victoria
Road to create a new,
north to south main
road connection linking
directly with Riverview
Street in the south,” the
group warns.
“Under this plan the
council wants to turn
Bellevue Avenue into
a new, north to south
arterial road which connects
Victoria Road in
West Ryde to First Avenue
in Eastwood via
Trelawny Street.”
‘’We are a passionate
group and we have
lived here for many,
many years and we are
horrified by this attempt
to turn our quite street
into a main road.”
The proposal is part
of the Draft West Ryde
Revitalisation Strategy
which the council says
responds to the needs
of residents and businesses.
It specifically aims to
benefit the West Ryde
Town Centre and transform
Macquarie Park
into a vibrant and accessible
CBD that balances
work and play.
“This Local Strategic
Planning Statement
has been informed by
the Community Strategic
Plan, the plan for
the City of Ryde, by the
people of the City of
Ryde,” a council statement
said.
“We are focusing on
aligning infrastructure

Planning Statement.”
This vision includes
“transport: improvements
to local infrastructure”
and advocating
to the State and
Federal Government for
appropriate transport
connections.
Under the proposal
there will be “green
links” to create new
walking and cycling
connections.
But the residents’ action
group is concerned
the plan could remove
the existing traffic lights
at the intersection of
Adelaide Street and
Victoria Road and replace
these lights with
lights at the intersection
of Bellevue Road
and Victoria Road.
“If this happens Bellevue
Road will be given
the same designation
as Victoria Road as
the council proposes
that Bellevue Avenue
become a new, major
north to south route
to take cars out of the
West Ryde Town Centre.”
The group is also concerned
that the council
is keeping residents in
the dark about this proposal,
despite a public
notice.
“Why hasn’t the community
been properly
consulted about this
and why is the council
trying to hide this major
proposal?”
Residents can lodge
objections via the City
of Ryde website “Have
Your Say” portal at
www.ryde.nsw.gov.au
or email Mr Dominello
at ryde@parliament.

Doctor Peter Kim moves to help
residents in financial hardship
CITY of Ryde Clr Dr Peter Kim has moved a motion to provide financial assistance
to pensioners and people in financial hardship.
The successful motion
authorises General
Manager George
Dedes to organise a
confidential councillor
workshop to report
on the the feasibility
of recommencing the
City of Ryde’s Voluntary
Pensioner Rebate
Scheme.
“Up to the early
2000s, the City of
Ryde had the Voluntary
Pensioner Rebate
Scheme,” Dr Kim said.
“ It is a grandfathered
scheme where eligible
pensioners (as at
31 December 1992)
who lived in the City of
Ryde for over 10 years
were rewarded for their
loyalty with $80 per
year discount in their
Council rates.
“Would the resurrection
of a similar scheme
be financially viable?
“If so, would it be
given out to the qualifying
residents in the
form of geographically
restricted Voucher to
help the pensioner
ratepayers to reduce
the rising cost of living
and to improve the local
economy?
“The amount of overdue
rates and charges
currently owed to
Council is approximately
$3.9 million (as
at 30 June 2019).
“This motion is seeking
a report to understand
the cause of debt
accumulation, facilitate
debt collection, and to
identify and assist the
ratepayers in genuine
financial hardship.”

All the fun of the fair at Ryde Hockey’s Family Day
RYDE Hunters Hill Hockey Club is celebrating its
annual Family Day this Saturday August 3 at the
Keith Thompson Hockey Centre, 18 Waterloo Road,
Macquarie Park.
The event is an opportunity
for the community to
join the Panthers club for a
fun-filled day of hockey and
family activities.
It is also an occasion that
celebrates the club’s deep
ties with the Ryde community
and the vital contribution
that families, past and
present, have made to the
Club.
On Family Day, the Club
joins with the Gordon North
Sydney hockey club in playing
for the Ryde-GNS Cup.
Points from juniors, women’s
and men’s matches
played over the weekend
will determine the destination
of the Cup for 2019.
There are festivities
throughout the day including
Family Day favourites
such as the Junior Club Relay,
the Best Dressed Supporter
Dog Competition,
jumping castles and fantastic
food. Family Day is also
a great opportunity to watch
some wonderful junior and
senior hockey.
Women’s first grade (at
330pm) and Men’s first
grade (at 5pm) will feature
a number of players from
the recently concluded U/21
National Championships.
A number of these players
are also members of the
Australian U/21 teams.
The State Minister for
Sport, Multiculturalism,
Seniors and Veterans John
Sidoti will be attending the
formal welcome at 3.15pm
as will a number of Ryde
City Councillors.
Club President Glen Castensen
extended a very
warm welcome to join the
club’s celebration, noting
that the Panthers involvement
in the local community
since 1934 owed a great
deal to the support of that
community.
Entry is free.

2019. They are pictured left after downing David Moody (skip) and lead
Ron Court 23-16 in the final. Hatch-Caccamo and the versatile Hogan
showed their vast ability and experience in closing out the game after
holding a narrow 19-16 lead with two ends to play.
EXPERIENCED quartet of Kath Ruser, Maria Tennant, Chris Bambach
and skip Brenda Paterson (pictured) are the Gladesville Women’s Bowling

played steady bowls and the low scoring reflected the skill of both teams.
Skilful Hawks display depth of league talent
By CHRIS KARAS
RYDE EASTWOOD rugby league team continued its march to the 2019 NSWRL Sydney Shield
finals series after a thumping 40-20 victory over Asquith last weekend at Storey Park.
Spring-heeled hooker Tristan Evans-Tsoi
starred for the Hawks with
another dynamic performance in
the number nine jumper - bagging
a hat trick of tries to help elevate his
side into third spot on the ladder.
It swelled his personal Shield tally
to 21 tries this season and gives
the Hawks great momentum with
five matches to be completed in
the run home to the finals.
Tsoi’s three try effort gave the
Hawks a 22-10 lead against the
Magpies after 47 minutes before
back rower Tyler Seymour, half
back Mitchell Gray and Rocco
Battagliolo crossed in the space of
17 minutes to give Ryde Eastwood
a significant advantage.
Connor Moran booted six goals
to seal an impressive victory in
a solid tune up for the Hawks’
big clash with all conquering
Cabramatta this Saturday August 3
at New Era Stadium.
MEANWHILE Ryde Estwood’s
undefeated U/20 Div 1 team
slammed Hills Bulls 34-14 at Birchgrove
Oval with strong performances
from second rower Fonua
Matangi, fullback Jay Watling and
half Shannon Condon.
The Hawks ran in seven tries with
Tallis Smith (2), Reggie Alofipo,
Kane Watling, Jay Watling, Condon
and Matangi collecting four pointers.
They meet Asquith in a top of the
table clash this weekend at Storey
Park.
Ryde Eastwood’s U/20 Div 2 side
celebrated their first win of the season
with an 8-0 triumph over Earlwood
Saints at Birchgrove Oval.

Ryde-Eastwood’s all
conquering U/18 Div 1
team remain on top of
the table after a 26-22
victory over St Johns
Lakemba at Birchgrove
Oval.
Trailing 22-4, the
Hawks showed skill and
spirit to storm home
with tries by centre Livai
Saukuru (2), Jaycob
Angel, Jason Smyth and
Jesse Provan.
Best on ground were
Saukuru, Smyth and
Aaron Johnson.
NSWRL Womens
Open competition coleaders
Ryde Eastwood
edged out Marrickville
RSL 20-16 at Snape
Park Maroubra.
Kaylin Coleman, Agnes
Dean, Courtney
Malone and Casey

scored tries for the
Hawks, who are a genuine
title contender.
Ryde Eastwood’s U/18
Div 2 side succumbed
20-18 to Penshurst RSL
at Birchgrove Oval after
squandering a 12- 6 half
time lead.

Honours for boom sailor Ethan
and champion athlete Sophie
By CHRIS KARAS
SAILING whiz Ethan Lozevski and emerging steeplechaser Sophie Gocher are the
second and third monthly winners in the 2019-20 TWT Club Six/Ryde Sports Foundation
Sports Star of the Year Award.
Outstanding prospect
Ethan represented
Australia at
the recent World U/15
Optimists Championships
in Antigua while
Ryde Athletics ace Sophie
donned the green
and gold at this year’s
Oceania Track & Field
Championships at
Homebush.
Both will be recognised
at a presentation
this Friday night
at Gladesville Sporties
Club at 6pm.
Lozevski, who honed
his skills with Dobroyd
Aquatic Club before
linking with Woollahra
Sailing Club, finished
a creditable 89th from
250 competitors at the
junior world titles in
the West Indies where
he registered impressive
results in the 12-
race series.
The Holy Cross College
Ryde student
performed with distinction
in the Optimist
dinghy class - placing
third in two of the race
finals that were staged
in difficult conditions.
Ethan, who weighs
55kg, was disadvantaged
by the lighter
winds and smaller
waves that confronted
the young sailors
in Antigua with the
majority of his opponents
all weighing between
45-47kgs and
manouvreing better in
the 8-12 knot winds
across the Carribean.
“The 15-20 knot
winds that were forecast
by the experts
prior to the start of
the championships
didn’t eventuate and
this made my task a
lot tougher,” revealed
Ethan.
“Being a taller and
heavier sailor the light
winds didn’t suit my
technique but still the
opportunity to race
against the best young
international sailors in
my age group from
around the world
proved a great learning
curve,” he said.
Ethan showed tenacity
and drive as he
mixed it with the best
across the 12 race format.
He conceded that
equipment failure and
race penalties hampered
his bid for a
medal and that he

Australia at this year’s Oceania Championships.
learned so much on
decision-making and
race craft by competing
against worldclass
sailors.
The Australian team
underlined its depth of
talent by finishing fifth
out of 65 countries in
the Championship’s
Nations Cup.
Ethan spent up to
five hours a day in the
surf over the summer
holidays to prepare
for the 2019 National
Championships in
Tasmania.
He placed third out
of more than 140
boats at the nationals
to qualify for the world
titles after earlier winning
the Optimist TT
series and ACT championships.
Ethan’s other
achievements include
finishing runners up at
the NSW East Coast
Championships; NSW
Team Racing Championships
and Australian
Optimist Team Racing
Championship.
The Rodd Point native
- who has chalked
up a proud record in
420 dinghies - also
grabbed sixth spot in
Sail Melbourne; seventh
at the VIODA
State Championships
and eighth in the Summer
Optimist Regatta
Sydney.
Ethan took up sailing
as an 8 year old and is
a three time Dobroyd
Aquatic Club Champion.
Although now based
at the Woollahra club,
the schoolboy prodigy
is keen to put back into
the sport by coaching
aspiring sailors at Dobroyd
Aquatic today.
Lozevski’s dream is
to one day sail at the
Olympics and he has
paired up with young
gun Keizo Tomishima
to try and qualify for
the U/17 World Cham-

at the recent World Optimists Championships in Antigua.
pionships in France
next year.
Ethan and Keizo -
who hope to secure
scholarships with both
the NSW and Australian
Institute of Sports
-can take a giant step
towards achieving that
goal with strong performances
in the 420
dinghies.

TALENTED Ryde
athlete SOPHIE
GOCHER continues to
stamp her mark in the
world of steeplechase
obstacle racing.
With a bag of medals
at national and international
level, the
schoolgirl sensation
has burst onto the
scene with an impressive
list of achievements.
18 year old Sophie is
following in the footsteps
of Ryde’s elite
steeplechasers Kate
Spencer and Georgia
Winkcup, both previous
TWT Club Six/
Ryde Sports Foundation
Sports Star of the
Year Award finalists.
As with Kate and
Georgia, young Sophie
is not only an outstanding
steeplechaser
who has competed
at international meets
but she has also performed
strongly at
national level in Cross
country.
Over the past few
seasons Sophie has
cemented her place
in steeplechase at
the Australian Junior
Championships -
placing sixth in 2017,
fourth in 2018 and
third in 2019 while
competing in the U/20
3000m Steeplechase.
Sophie’s bronze
medal at the Australian
Championships
was good enough to
clinch her a spot on
the Australian team
for the Oceania Area
Track & Field Championships
held in June
where she finished
second in the U/20
3000m Steeplechase
final.
This was Sophie’s
second time to don
the green and gold
having competed for
Australia the previous
year at the Oceania
Championships where
she finished just out
of the medals in fourth
spot in the U/18 2000m
Steeplechase.
As well as her depth
as a steeplechaser
Sophie is also a strong
middle-distance runner
and cross country
runner.
Back in June, Sophie
won the NSW
Combined Catholic
Colleges 18yrs Cross
Country championship
to underline her
potential.
Recently she placed
sixth in the NSW All
Schools Cross Country
Championships
18yrs 6km event and
was named in the
Athletics NSW team to
compete at the Australian
Cross Country
Championships in late
August.
Sophie has featured
in many of Ryde’s
middle-distance relay
teams.
Last November her
strong leg in the U/20
4 x 800m moved the
Ryde team up from
third to first and gave
them a good enough
lead to collect the gold
medal and State title.
The previous season
Sophie had been part
of the gold medal winning
4x 400m U/20
team and the gold
medal winning U/20 4
x 1500m.
At State carnivals
over the past season,
Sophie has also
shown her fine credentials.
She was named the
17yrs age champion
after winning both the
800m and 1500m at
the NSW Combined
Catholic Colleges Carnival
last September
and at the 2018 NSW
All Schools Sophie
brought home bronze
in the 17yrs 2000m
steeplechase.
At the NSW Junior
Championships in
March this year Sophie
was crowned the
State U/20 champion
in the 3000m steeplechase
- another tremendous
feat.
As she goes from
strength to strength,
we are sure Sophie
will continue to carve
out an illustrious career
on the track and
in cross country.
