Parramatta’s long, painful wait for a 

drought-breaking Premiership will 

drag on for at least another year. 

The Eels were completely outclassed 

in Sunday’s NRL Grand Final, falling to 

western Sydney rivals Penrith 28-12. 

Only two late tries to Clint Gutherson 

and Jake Arthur put some respect into the 

scoreline. 

Penrith were dominant from the opening 

whistle, never relenting in a first class 

performance to become just the second 

team to win back-to-back Premierships in 

the NRL era. 

Stephen Crichton, Brian To’o and Scott 

Sorensen all scored first half tries to set up

was a spectacular Grand Final Day. 

Parramatta fans dominated the crowd, 

with supporters desperate to see the side 

break a 36-year title hoodoo. 

They’ll now have to endure the thoughts 

of what could have been, as they look to 

next season. 

Meanwhile, there was no joy in the

Residents make 

opposition clear 

LOCAL NEWS 

ELLIE BUSBY 

Wentworth Point residents have 

turned up in force to protest 

against a revised scheme, which 

could see two 45-storey high-rise residential 

developments tower over the suburb. 

A proposed amendment to the Homebush 

Bay West Development Control Plan (DCP) 

for Block H, Precinct B, 16 Burroway Road 

and part 5 Footbridge Boulevard, Wentworth 

Point, has caused division amongst councillors. 

The amendment would look to change the 

DCP, which currently allows for a maximum 

height of 25 storeys, in order to build a highrise 

residential development that has two 

towers, a podium element and open space 

provision. 

Following public exhibition of the proposed 

development, Council received a total of 

763 submissions – 64 per cent of which were 

opposed to the proposed changes. 

To address concerns, the proposal’s 

applicant, Billbergia, supplied an outline 

of a revised scheme, which would see two 

45-storey towers, instead of the original 40 

and 50 storey towers that were exhibited, and 

1,000 new apartments. 

Following the September 12 Council meeting, 

which saw councillors opt not to reject the 

proposed amendment despite the recommendation, 

deciding instead that further information 

was required to support consideration of 

the alternative scheme, locals have aired their 

frustrations. 

Over 40 residents attended the most recent 

Council meeting with signs that read ‘support 

the rescission’ and ‘no to Noack,’ voicing their 

support for the rescission motion. A petition 

opposing the amendment, which received 

over 400 signatures in just four days, was also 

submitted. 

The rescission motion, moved by Councillor 

Dr Patricia Prociv, urged the council to refuse 

the proposed amendment to the Homebush 

Bay West DCP. 

Cr Prociv said the residents of Wentworth 

Point want councillors to represent the interests 

of all the residents. 

“The petition that was presented tonight 

requests that Council respect the results of 

the public exhibition, where 64 per cent of 

the residents opposed the proposed amendment,” 

she said. 

“It is our duty as councillors to respect and 

support the voices of our community, in this 

case the community of Wentworth Point.” 

Cr Kellie Darley supported the rescission 

motion and said two 45-storey towers is out of 

character for Wentworth Point. 

“When we hear all the evidence from the 

community and when the council staff 

recommends that we refuse the planning 

proposal to draw a line in the sand, I really 

Wentworth Point residents protesting at the latest Parramatta Council meeting. 

The two 45-storey high-rise residential developments as part of the revised scheme. 

have to ask why are we ignoring that advice?” 

she said. 

However, Cr Paul Noack hit back over 

concerns for the revised scheme and said 

there had been “confusion” over the September 

12 Council decision. 

“There is no scheme before this Council 

now, there is no proposed 45 storeys,” he said. 

In support of Cr Noack, Cr Michelle Garrard 

also referenced the ‘No to Noack’ signs some 

of the residents held. 

“This is not the Noack amendment, this was 

the chamber’s amendment – there were 10 

people in this chamber who supported it.” 

Despite the turn out of support from Wentworth 

Point residents, the rescission motion 

failed to pass. Further information on the 

revised scheme will be submitted in order for 

the Council to consider it for the purposes of 

public exhibition.

West is won, but remains divided 

One intriguing sub-plot out of Sunday’s NRL 

Grand Final is the huge reality check for the 

AFL and the fact the sport’s assault on western 

Sydney is failing dramatically. 

We’ve heard for years about the millions 

and millions of dollars the AFL is pouring into 

western Sydney and the GWS Giants, playing 

the long game through schools and banking 

on generational shift. But it’s now been a decade 

since GWS entered the competition and 

their impact has been minimal. 

The AFL can do as many school visits as it 

likes, can keep pouring money into GWS and 

can take little wins like goal posts going up in 

sporting ovals, but nothing is shaking the reality 

that rugby league owns western Sydney. 

The AFL will keep pouring cash into GWS, 

believing that eventually, the crowds will 

come. But it’s flogging a dead horse. 

Sydney is a stubborn city; and western Sydney 

even moreso. 

All rugby league needed was to get its house 

in order in western Sydney and last Sunday 

night’s Grand Final proves it has.

Why Optus data saga is a major 

wake-up call for all Australians 

It’s not every day an email lobs into your 

main inbox from a “Mrs Susan Pujok” from 

the “Basel-Stadt (District Court)” in Switzerland. 

So I paid it extra attention; its contents 

were alarming. “We regret to inform you that 

you have been a victim of internet fraud/identity 

theft. Your identity and consumer credit 

files were compromised during a data breach 

where millions of taxpayers’ information were 

exposed to hackers and used in a scheme now 

uncovered by federal authorities.” 

The message must have evaded Gmail’s 

spam filters. A terrified check of my bank accounts 

found everything in order. If my personal 

details were now bobbing around the 

dark web, there wasn’t much I could do. 

But it was enough to set nerves jangling in a 

week where millions of Australians potentially 

had their personal details – names, birthdays, 

phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses 

and identity documents like passports 

and drivers’ licenses – exposed following the 

massive data breach at Optus. 

I’ve previously been an Optus customer. For 

some reason, the telco hasn’t notified me that 

I’ve been affected, and I’m not sure whether to 

be worried or relieved. 

Our new mobile and digital existence has its 

attractions. But as we know, it comes with an 

underbelly of sludge. For example, I’m now 

routinely texted mysterious links, telling me to 

News...........................................................1-14 

Turning Back Time............................15 

Business................................................16-18 

pay overdue road tolls I didn’t access; to “confirm 

FedEx shipment details” for products I 

haven’t ordered; or bombarded with messages 

from people who’ve “arrived in Australia 

and are currently single”. For some reason, I’m 

regularly entreatied in Chinese from a “Mrs 

Hui” who owns an optometrist in Hurstville. 

No doubt it’s the price we pay for connectivity. 

You learn to be vigilant. Not click on any 

dodgy links or accidentally hand over money. 

Of course, all that would change in a hurry 

if someone started using a false passport or 

taking out a mortgage in your name. Perhaps 

siphoning money from your bank account for 

bills you don’t recognise. In the days since the 

Optus breach, cyber fraudsters and lowlifes 

have launched a new wave of scams, even impersonating 

the telco or demanding ransom. 

The Optus saga is a wake-up call. The onus 

to protect our data should be greatest on the 

tech leaders. Yet Yahoo, Facebook, LinkedIn, 

Adobe and Alibaba have all suffered major 

breaches in recent years. If they can’t manage 

our private information, what hope is there? 

One of the most notorious all-time hacks 

involved the Ashley Madison personals’ site 

in 2015, which released highly sensitive data 

about people’s extramarital affairs. Yet data 

breaches are not just embarrassing nuisances. 

Increasingly, they have the potential to impact 

critical infrastructure and economic interests. 

Entertainment................................19-29 

Business Directory.....................30-31 

Sport.............................................................32 

Witness the ransomware attack on the Colonial 

Pipeline last year, shutting down oil supplies 

across the US east coast. Or the software 

breach of cloud platform Kaseya, infecting 

thousands of businesses around the world. 

Data security is a challenge we simply must 

get a handle on to capitalise on the potential 

of digital transformation. Whether shopping 

for fashion or furniture, downloading music or 

booking flights, virtually all of us transact now 

with retailers online. So much of our lives are 

now stored in Service NSW. The Federal Government 

has set up My Health Record. Our 

public transport mobility is tracked via Opal 

data. And these are just the building blocks 

for future innovative uses of data leveraging 

capabilities such as blockchain and artificial 

intelligence. The whole idea of Parramatta as 

a “smart city” involves placing digital sensors 

on assets such as security cameras and street 

lights to regulate how pedestrians and traffic 

move around. 

Some Australians may be prepared to entertain 

these use cases in return for greater 

convenience, a better deal or a better experience. 

But popular consent requires trust in the 

technology – and the organisations promising 

the benefits. A reputation that has taken decades 

to build up can be shredded in an instant 

– and that’s something Optus is learning the 

hard way right now.

Putting Parra on the map 

Parramatta’s stunning new community hub is now centrepiece of world class city 

ELLIE BUSBY 

It has been called the “pièce de résistance” 

of Parramatta, and now, the new community, 

cultural and civic hub has officially 

opened. 

After much anticipation, the $136 million 

PHIVE centre located in the heart of 

Parramatta has finally been unveiled to the 

public. With a new two-level library, Council 

chambers, wellness studio, tech labs and 

a pop-up café on its way, PHIVE has been 

designed to house “world-class” facilities that 

the whole community can explore. 

City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Donna 

Davis said PHIVE is the bold centrepiece of 

Parramatta Square’s $2.7 billion transformation. 

“The opening of PHIVE has finally arrived, 

this is the living room in the heart of the city of 

Parramatta,” she said. 

“It’s a unique building that reflects our 

unique community, a wonderfully diverse 

community with a rich history and a promising 

future. I’m so looking forward to our 

community being able to embrace this building.” 

With a bright red and orange tessellated roof 

and unique design, PHIVE is hard to miss. 

Designed to reflect the colours of Australian 

fauna, the vibrant colour scheme is carried 

throughout the building with orange floors 

Young readers enjoy the wide selection of books available, with the help of ‘The Gruffalo’.

and red bookcases. Labelled an “architectural 

icon”, PHIVE was designed by award-winning 

French architect Manuelle Gautrand, in partnership 

with Australian architecture firms 

Lacoste + Stevenson and Design Inc. 

Constructed by Australian group Built, 

the building connects with the original 

heritage-listed Town Hall, creating a strong 

contrast between the new and the old. PHIVE 

also incorporates the city’s rich history 

throughout the building, with a Keeping 

Place that enables First Nations cultural 

material and knowledge to be conserved and 

celebrated on Country. 

“PHIVE reflects our diverse history, particularly 

it has a Keeping Room that recognises 

the rich Burramatagal and Dharug history 

of our area and of western Sydney,” Cr Davis 

said. 

“[It] is extremely significant, it’s the 

only place in a local government building 

in Australia that has a special place for 

Burramatagal people to keep their special 

items of significance.” 

A development years in the making, plans 

for PHIVE were originally discussed over two 

decades ago. 

“Back in 1996, the councillors at the time 

had a vision to build a new council chamber 

and community facility, and incorporate a 

new library in the heart of Parramatta,” Cr 

Davis said. 

“It has taken until today to actually achieve 

that.” 

To celebrate the opening, City of Parramatta 

Council hosted a weekend of free activities, 

which included everything from a comic 

workshop with a Marvel artist to silent discos 

and gin-making workshops. 

Cr Davis said in order to be a great city, there 

needs to be great places for everybody to 

enjoy, and PHIVE certainly now ticks that box 

for Parramatta. 

“PHIVE will definitely put Parramatta on 

the map as one of the world’s greatest cities,” 

Cr Davis said. 

“Just as the Opera House draws people into 

Sydney, PHIVE has got that sense of place that 

really will attract people to Parramatta.”

Place of the Eels unveiled 

I was delighted to launch, Place of the Eels, our new public 

artwork in the heart of the Parramatta CBD last Friday. 

Created by Western Sydney artists Claire Healy and 

Sean Cordeiro, the eight-metre tall, aluminium 

replica of a vintage bus is now permanently parked 

in Parramatta Square. 

This sculpture is a conversation starter encapsulating 

a number of intriguing stories, colourful characters 

and some important moments in our City’s history. 

The artwork itself is modelled on the 1960s Leyland 

Worldmaster bus used by the Parramatta Eels rugby 

league team to conduct meetings during their 

premiership-winning years in the 1980s. 

The bus also includes insignia that pays tribute to 

Rosie Bint Broheen, one of the first Lebanese women 

to purchase property in Parramatta; local legend 

William Francis King, also known as ‘The Flying Pieman’, 

and the Parramatta Industrial School for Girls. 

Make sure you get down to Parramatta Square to 

see Place of the Eels and reflect on some of the 

people that have contributed to our great City.

is happening in every corner of the six-storey building 

– from dance classes in the lobby, to silent discos 

and science workshops in the maker spaces and 

wellness studios. 

I recently had the chance to host some community 

tours and it was an absolute joy to share with residents 

all the wonderful services and facilities offered in our 

new building. 

If you haven’t visited PHIVE, I encourage you to come 

down and find your space. PHIVE is a place to find 

local services, create in our maker spaces and sound 

labs, or simply meet friends for a coffee or bite to eat. 

It also houses a new library, creative spaces, meeting 

rooms, study areas, studio and recording booths, as 

well the Council Chambers and visitor services.

Another accolade for our Escarpment 

Boardwalk 

The Parramatta River Escarpment Boardwalk recently 

won a Good Design Australia Award in the architectural 

category alongside other significant projects including 

the Grampians Peak Trail in Victoria and Goyder 

Square in the Northern Territory. Council received the 

Powerhouse Design Award which is given to a project 

that has potential to make a significant improvement 

to the quality of health, wellbeing or the environment. 

Officially opened in April 2021, the Escarpment 

Boardwalk is one of the final links of the popular 

Parramatta Valley Cycleway, connecting more than 

20km of continuous off-road paths along both sides 

of the Parramatta River, from Parramatta Park to 

Melrose Park. The river foreshore paths are used by 

more than one million pedestrians and cyclists every 

year in the City. 

Earlier in the year, the 

Escarpment Boardwalk won an 

award for Engineering Excellence 

for projects greater than $5 million at 

the Institute of Public Works Engineering 

Australasia NSW & ACT Awards. 

We are so lucky to have a boardwalk that makes the 

most of the local natural environment and Parramatta 

River – congratulations to all Council staff who helped 

deliver this project. 

Why not take a walk this week on our award winning 

boardwalk?

Cumberland Council welcomes 

new Deputy Mayor after vote 

ELLIE BUSBY 

Labor Councillor Suman Saha vows 

to ensure all voices are heard as he 

becomes Cumberland City Council’s 

new Deputy Mayor. 

Cr Saha has replaced fellow Labor Councillor 

Kun Huang in the role of Deputy Mayor, as 

he looks to serve alongside Mayor Lisa Lake 

for the next 12 months. 

During the latest Cumberland City Council 

meeting, Cr Saha went up against Our Local 

Community’s (OLC) Helen Hughes, receiving 

nine votes to six. Cr Hughes congratulated Cr 

Saha and said she hopes he enjoys his next 12 

months as Deputy Mayor. 

Dressed in a Parramatta Eels jersey underneath 

a blazer, Cr Saha addressed the Council 

for the first time as Deputy Mayor. 

“I stand up and thank the people of Cumberland, 

especially the people of the Wentworthville 

ward, for placing their trust in me,” he 

said. 

“It’s a great honour to be elected your Deputy 

Mayor, to serve the Cumberland community 

for the next 12 months.” 

Cr Saha credited the Labor councillors and 

fellow branch members for helping him take 

this next step in his council career, praising 

the General Manager and staff also for their 

work. 

“Thanks to my fellow councillors, especially 

my Labor councillors, for showing faith in 

me, I look forward to much more harmonious 

and good working relationships among all the 

councillors,” he said. 

“I look forward to supporting Mayor Lake, 

I’ve known [her] for 15 years, we’ve shared 

our disappointments, celebrated our victories 

together and we’ve helped each other.” 

Reflecting on his journey to Australia and to 

local politics, Cr Saha thanked his family for 

their support. 

“I arrived in Australia in 2003 as an international 

student with my Bengali accent and 

ethnicity, which I’m very proud of, and settled 

in Australia as a skilled migrant,” he said. 

“Thanks to my parents, I could never be 

where I am today without their support and 

guidance.” 

Living in the Cumberland area since 2005, 

Cr Saha was first elected as a Cumberland 

Councillor in 2017. 

Ensuring everyone has access to Council’s 

services, regardless of their age, 

gender and ethnicity, will continue to 

be a key focus for Cr Saha as he moves 

forward in the new role. 

“I am here because I want to make a 

difference and ensure all voices are 

heard,” he said. 

“I believe we are at our strongest 

and our best when we come 

together to deliver for 

Cumberland.” 

Cr Lake, who 

remains Mayor, 

welcomed her 

fellow Wentworthville 

Ward councillor 

to the role 

and said she looks 

forward to continuing 

to work with 

Cr Saha over the 

next 12 months. 

Councillor Suman Saha has been 

elected as the new Deputy Mayor for 

Cumberland City Council.

a person had been hit by a car. 

Police had been told a man was seen

ELLIE BUSBY 

Recently reaching a milestone anniversary, 

local club Wenty Leagues 

has celebrated 60 years in community 

service. 

From humble beginnings to being ranked 

in the top five registered clubs in NSW, 

Wenty Leagues has come a long way in 60 

years. Celebrating the occasion with a threecourse 

meal and entertainment, Wenty 

Leagues took 200 guests on a journey of past 

to present community club operations. 

Originally opening its doors in 1962 with 

just 46 Foundation Life Members, the club 

has since gone through many transformations, 

with the biggest in most recent years 

being the completion of the Club’s $120 

million Master Plan. 

These upgrades saw new food and beverage 

outlets like Char Steak and Seafood and 

Envy Bar make its new home in the club. 

The Wenty Events Centre also led to Wenty 

Leagues hosting everything from weddings 

to corporate events – something that came 

in handy when the club celebrated its 60th 

anniversary. 

Events like Magpie Family Fun Day and 

Carols on Ringrose are a staple on the 

community calendar, with Wenty Leagues 

proud to deliver the events for free to residents 

of Cumberland. 

Over the past 60 years, Wenty Leagues has 

provided significant funding assistance via 

its ClubGrants program to organisations 

with initiatives within the local community, 

enabling them to continue to support 

individuals and groups for the benefit of the 

local area. 

In a statement, a spokesperson for the club 

said Wenty Leagues is proud to be known as 

the “home away from home”. 

“Wenty Leagues is honoured to have 

grown with the Wentworthville Community 

and more broadly the Cumberland local 

government area over the past 60 years and 

looks forwards to continuing that responsibility 

and community growth now and into 

the future,” the statement said. 

“We are proud of our last 60 years but more 

importantly look forward to our next 60 

years in community service.”

LAST WEEK’S ANSWER 

Last week’s photograph was of the basketball court at John 

Wearn Reserve on Farnell Avenue, Carlingford. 

The soaring prices for food and 

drink inside stadiums is getting out 

of control. You would have needed 

a second mortgage to afford a pie 

and a beer at Accor Stadium on 

Sunday night. It’s hard not to feel that it’s not 

just a huge profit grab. 

Channel Nine’s Mat Thompson did 

an awesome job calling his first 

NRL Grand Final on Sunday night. 

Mat is from Sydney’s west and had 

plenty of pressure on him after the 

retirement of Ray Warren. He knocked it out of 

the park. 

The way Parramatta came 

together to celebrate Grand Final 

Week last week was something 

truly special. It was great to see so 

much blue and gold throughout 

the city. Well done to everyone who took part 

in the festivities! 

The number of rip-offs and scams 

we heard about in Grand Final 

Week was extraordinary. It’s so 

disappointing that so many people 

want to take advantage of others. 

It’s also clear that everyone involved in ticketing 

needs stronger strategies.

Fortnightly markets will offer 

much-needed community boost 

ELLIE BUSBY 

Food stalls, live music and pop-up play 

areas will soon be on its way to Epping, 

following the approval of temporary 

markets. 

A recent City of Parramatta Local Planning 

Panel (LPP) has given the green light for a new 

temporary market to go ahead in Epping. 

Known as The Langston Markets, the event 

will be located in the shared space of Chambers 

Court between The Langston residential 

towers. 

Operating fortnightly every Sunday from 

9am to 1pm, the “bespoke” markets intend to 

largely serve the residents within The Langston 

development and surrounding areas. 

The market dates will be in accordance with 

approved conditions of consent provided by 

City of Parramatta. 

The Langston Markets will typically host 

between 35 to 50 stallholders per event 

and feature market vendors who sell fresh 

produce, food and beverage; live acoustic 

music; community organisation stalls and 

children’s activities such as face painting and 

pop-up play areas. 

The Statement of Environmental Effects 

(SEE) said the temporary markets will “positively 

contribute” to the economic and social 

development of The Langston development 

Where the new markets are proposed to be held. 

and wider town centre by providing entertainment 

and activation of the public domain. 

“The proposal will complement the 

approved development and will benefit the 

vitality and vibrancy of the retail and dining 

precinct at ground level,” the document said. 

An initiative by Cbus Property, the Langston 

Markets will also aim to foster a “sense of 

community” amongst locals and assist in 

creating a walkable Epping town centre by 

providing a local benefit for residents. 

The Plan of Management revealed the 

market operators will invite local business 

to participate in the market and extend their 

presence within the Epping area. 

The document said the temporary markets 

received the largest response from locals yet, 

with majority in support of what is anticipated 

to become a popular event. 

“The markets are supported by the future 

residents with 72 per cent of residents identifying 

markets as a desired activity,” the Plan 

of Management said. 

The markets are expected to hold a capacity 

of between 500 and 800 patrons over the 

course of the four-hour period. 

Despite this, the document stated that the 

potential noise and traffic impacts of the 

temporary markets are considered to be 

minor in nature. 

“It is important to minimise disruption to 

local and surrounding residents and businesses 

by monitoring the level of noise created 

by the event,” it said. 

“Noisy activities should be located within 

the venue in an area that is least likely to affect 

nearby residents.” 

Approval for the markets comes after it was 

confirmed a Mint Fresh IGA would open in 

The Langston’s retail space.

Sit back, relax and 

read for a cause 

LOCAL NEWS 

ELLIE BUSBY 

This coming Booktober, people are 

being encouraged to pick up a book 

and open up a new chapter in children’s 

literacy. 

For the month of October, not-for-profit 

charity WestWords is hoping more people will 

sign up to the annual event and read more 

books for a good cause. 

Created to provide books and literacy 

programs to under-resourced schools in 

greater western Sydney, Booktober aims to 

give opportunities to children who may not 

necessarily receive them. 

Speaking from the Parramatta WestWords 

office, WestWords Executive Director Michael 

Campbell said he encourages more people to 

register to become a ‘bookworm’ and raise 

funds during Booktober. 

“Booktober both gives and is giving,” he 

said. 

“Give and directly enable some of the most 

important work we can do as a community 

by assisting our next generation to reach their 

potential.” 

And for those who are reluctant to run marathons 

or shave off hair, Booktober presents 

a relaxing alternative – all you need to do is 

“stop, breathe and read a book”. 

“I don’t know of any other fundraisers that 

ask you to stop the busyness of life, sit down 

and nurture yourself with a good book,” Mr 

Campbell said. 

“You’re doing good things for you and you’re 

doing good things for kids in western Sydney 

– it’s a win-win.” 

Working directly with schools, WestWords 

creates a platform for kids in western Sydney 

to build confidence, discover commonality 

within their differences and create their own 

identity through storytelling. 

Coming off of two years of disruptive learning, 

it’s never been more important for the 

team at WestWords to provide an opportunity 

to help develop the literacy and life skills of 

the younger generation. 

“I kid you not, we have kids through our 

schools program who say WestWords have 

changed their lives,” Mr Campbell told Parra 

News. 

“It develops skills so that they can form ideas 

and articulate their imagination, and once 

you give that to a child you set them up for the 

rest of their life.” 

For those interested in participating in the 

fundraiser, Mr Campbell said it’s a simple 

process to sign up. 

“They just jump on our website and sign up, 

we’ll send some tips on what to do and how to 

do it in order to encourage people to sponsor 

you, and then you choose the books you want 

to read,” he said. 

“We’ve got a partner, Booktopia, and as soon 

as you sign up you will get within 24 hours

a code that will give you a discount on any 

books that you order through them. 

“Please join us – it makes a difference – we all

TURNING BACK TIME 

Check out this throwback to 

St George’s Terrace in 1987! 

This photo of the two-storey 

landmark building was 

taken from across the road at 

91 Phillip Street, Parramatta. 

George Coates reportedly 

built St George’s Terrace at 44 

Phillip Street in 1881. 

It is, perhaps, safe to assume 

they included ‘George’ in 

the building’s name as an 

homage to the family patriarch 

and master builder. 

In present times, St George’s 

Terrace looks very different, 

with the Parramatta 

Powerhouse currently under 

construction on the site.

How to create the best content for the 

ever-changing social media world 

There is no doubting the influence 

social media can have on your 

business, but are you struggling to 

market your business? 

You may have realised recently that the 

organic reach for posts on Facebook and 

Instagram are currently very low, which 

makes it very hard to compete with other 

brands if you are just starting up. So where 

to now? 

If you are keeping up with the latest trends, 

you would have found that video is becoming 

more and more important when it comes 

to marketing your business. 

TikTok/Reels changed the game for a lot of 

businesses, and those that made great video 

content saw drastic changes in both their 

organic reach and interactions. 

But what content actually works, and what 

is going to get you results? 

Here are a few tips/tricks for you next Reel/ 

TikTok. 

Follow the trends 

Use the latest trends, music and sounds. 

Yes this may be easier said than done, but 

the best way to do this is to get scrolling on 

Reels and click on ‘Use Template’ and then 

add your content. This will literally make the 

video for you! 

Create original content 

Be yourself! 

And if you don’t want to be feature in the 

video, make sure it’s on your products/ 

services. 

Put content across all socials 

If you make a Reel on Instagram, make 

sure you also put it on Facebook Reels and 

TikTok! 

Cover all bases. 

Use text 

Make sure the text you use is brief and to 

the point (summary of what you are speaking 

about) 

Know your market 

This is pivotal! 

Use your content to find out what your 

audience wants to see and post more of it. 

This can be done by looking at your page’s 

analytics and seeing what gets the most 

interactions/views. 

Include hashtags 

Three to five will be enough for each post 

and make sure they are relevant to the post! 

Although TikTok and Reels have a great 

organic reach, don’t make the mistake of 

marketing there if that’s not where your 

clients are. Not every platform is suited for 

every business. If you would like to find 

out the best ways to market your business 

online, please feel free to get in touch at any 

time.

HOROSCOPES 

BROUGHT TO YOU BY BOHO ASTRO - JOANNE MADELINE MOORE 

Daily posts at www.bohoastro.com | twitter @JoMadelineMoore | © Joanne Madeline Moore 2022 

A Q U A R I U S 

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19 

PISCES 

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20 

ARIES 

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20 

TA U R U S 

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21 

It’s a good week to expand your 

world via exciting local friendships 

and international contacts. If you link 

up with like-minded people, then it 

will open up new doors of opportunity. 

But be careful what you post online, 

as a casual comment could lead 

to controversy. And expect the sparks 

to fly on Sunday when the Full Moon 

and Jupiter fire up your adventurous, 

spontaneous side. If you must be rebellious, 

then aim to be a rebel with a 

worthy cause. 

With Mercury moving forwards in 

your partnership zone, you’ll feel 

more motivated to sort out relationship 

problems than at other times. 

And you have a good chance of success, 

especially if you are proactive 

about finding solutions and are prepared 

to compromise. But money 

matters could come to a head on the 

weekend when the Full Moon lights 

up your financial zone. Maybe it’s 

time to boost your cash flow or re-design 

your dreams? 

Harmonious partnerships and creative 

coupledom are highlighted as the 

Full Moon and Jupiter (in Aries) plus 

the Sun and Venus (in Libra) rev up 

relationships and joint ventures. If you 

combine diplomacy with dynamism 

(and Ram charm with a sense of adventure) 

then you’ll sail through challenges. 

Balance is the key. Your motto 

is from actress Claire Danes (who has 

Sun in Aries and Moon in Libra) “Relationships 

are a constant negotiation 

and balance.” 

Expect a rather intense week as the 

fiery Full Moon stirs up inner compulsions, 

submerged secrets or hidden 

resentments. You could also become 

obsessed about someone or something 

from your complicated past. 

If you’re a bright Bull, you’ll learn 

from your mistakes, let go and move 

on. Inspiration for the week is from 

actress Kate Winslet (who turns 47 

on Wednesday), “The good and bad 

things are what form us as people … 

change makes us grow.”

V I R G O 

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23 

This week the Full Moon focus is on 

friendships. How to nurture them, 

keep them … and then let them go if 

you have outgrown each other. You’ll 

find mutual interests are essential 

to long-term platonic relationships. 

Attached Twins – stop being scatterbrained 

and superficial! Mercury 

(your patron planet) is moving forwards 

again, so your sweetheart is 

looking to you for some sensible and 

balanced advice. Singles – love and 

friendship are linked. 

Are you making the most of your 

mind? With Pluto and Mercury (which 

is now direct) activating your communication 

zone, detailed research and 

strategic thinking will take you far. 

Courtesy of the Full Moon, it’s a good 

week to increase your public profile, 

complete a professional project, give 

a speech, launch a website or start 

a social media campaign. But don’t 

underestimate the hard work and patience 

it will take to keep the wheels of 

progress turning. 

The Full Moon and Jupiter rev up 

your gypsy gene and activate your 

adventure zone. So it’s a good time to 

escape somewhere special, whether 

it’s a much anticipated holiday or a 

spontaneous weekend getaway. With 

Mercury moving forwards in your 

money zone, don’t let fleeting whims 

and luxury fever get in the way of longterm 

financial planning. Your motto is 

from fellow Leo, artist Andy Warhol 

“Making money is art and working is 

art and good business is the best art.” 

Mercury is moving forwards in your 

sign so communication, travel and relationships 

should all start to improve. 

But the big lesson to learn is how to 

diversify and delegate. No one (not 

even a super effective Virgo) is indispensable. 

And expect some dramatic 

developments to do with lust or loot, 

as the Full Moon stimulates your sex 

and money zone. Single? It could be 

difficult to differentiate between a 

dream date and a disappointing dud 

so tread carefully.

Expect some relationship rumbles, 

as the Full Moon stimulates your partnership 

zone. Singles – look for love 

with an amorous Aries or an adventurous 

Aquarius (but don’t let them 

walk all over you). If you’re attached, 

now is the time to stand up for what 

you believe in. Otherwise your proactive 

partner could take the reins and 

ride the relationship in the direction 

and manner they prefer, with little input 

from you. A shared vision is vital 

for romantic longevity. 

You have strong likes and dislikes, 

and you don’t do things by halves. Especially 

when there’s a Full Moon! You 

love to call the shots and be in control, 

but you’ll find another ‘c’ word – cooperation 

– will get you a lot further, 

with less tantrums and tears. Positive 

Pluto aspects promise group activities, 

intense communication and 

powerful conversations. Don’t overthink 

things though! As Bill Gates (a 

fellow Scorpio) says “Often you have 

to rely on intuition.” 

The Full Moon and Jupiter light up 

your drama zone so expect a week of 

extremes – everything from passion 

and flamboyance to arguments and 

dummy-spits. A troubled teenager or 

a feisty friend could push your buttons. 

So try to keep your composure, 

and don’t give them the satisfaction 

of a response! Professional projects 

are favoured – as long as you don’t 

be a Sagittarian smart-aleck. Listen to 

the wise advice of a trusted colleague, 

teacher or mentor. 

The Sun’s visiting your career zone, 

which boosts your ambitious streak. 

You’re keen to get ahead but don’t 

trample over others on your climb to 

the top! Aim to get the balance right 

between your personal and professional 

lives. Relationships will be 

complicated this week when passion 

is combined with power plays, and romance 

is coupled with responsibility. 

So expect some domestic dramas, as 

the Full Moon triggers prima donna 

moments or a family fiasco. 


TALKING TECH 

WITH DAVID NORRIS 

NORTEC IT • 9894 9514 

The best way to improve the strength 

of your struggling Wi-Fi connection 

A 

common question I’m asked is 

how to fix up poor Wi-Fi reception 

around the home or office. Most 

homes and offices still use the Internet 

router as their Wi-Fi source. These devices’ 

primary purpose is to provision the Internet 

and not to provide Wi-Fi to your home 

or office. They are often located in the 

corner of the house and do not have the 

signal strength to deliver Wi-Fi throughout 

the house. 

One solution is to get a Wi-Fi booster 

or range extender. These devices pick up 

a weak signal and boost it. As a result of 

the lower signal, you can expect to get a 

decreased speed across the network as a 

result. The better solution is to use a Mesh 

Wi-Fi system. These systems are designed to 

blanket the home or office with overlapping 

Wi-Fi signals from multiple devices set up as 

a mesh. Mesh systems operate on both the 

2.4 and 5Ghz radio bands and, depending 

on the solution, can offer throughput speeds 

of up to 9.6Gbps. 

These devices are generally sold in 

packs of three; one of the units connects 

to your Internet router and becomes the 

central hub. The remaining units, known 

as nodes, are plugged into a power point 

and will capture and rebroadcast the Wi-Fi 

signal. Additional nodes can be purchased 

depending on the size and configuration of 

your home or office. There is no limit on the 

number of nodes that can be added, so the 

mesh solution can be expanded as needed. 

Mesh Wi-Fi devices are by design userfriendly 

and require very little technical 

knowledge. A mobile application will guide 

you through the installation and advise you 

on the nodes’ placement. Most also support 

additional features, including parental 

controls. 

The power of a mesh system is that once 

connected to the Wi-Fi, no matter where 

you are, your device will switch to the most 

robust signal mesh node seamlessly. This 

means you have a single SSID, username 

and password for the Wi-Fi throughout the 

mesh. Even if a node fails, the system will 

adjust the mesh accordingly to compensate. 

There are multiple providers of meshbased 

Wi-Fi systems. These include TP-Link 

Deco, Google Nest, Asus ZenWifi, Netgear 

Orbi, Dlink Covr and Amazon. These 

products can be obtained from your local 

computer retailer. Alternatively, call me if 

you are struggling with your WiFi. 

HEALTH 

WITH ERIN BURNS 

ONE POINT HEALTH • 4732 5188 

Exercise after a knee replacement: 

What you need to know and follow! 

Sometimes non-surgical treatments can 

become no longer helpful in managing 

knee pain associated with damage 

from conditions such as arthritis or injury. 

When pain becomes unmanageable and 

simple activities such as walking or climbing 

stairs are too difficult, a total knee replacement 

(TKR) may be warranted. 

Building strength and range prior to TKR 

is just as vital as post surgical rehabilitation. 

Rehab can start hours after the operation 

with an initial focus of range of motion and 

strength to return to walking and other 

activities of daily living (ADLs). 

Normal activities should be able to be 

completed within three to six weeks. 

But what exercises should take place? 

Walking! Build up your walking in small 

bouts to slowly increase mobility and independence, 

along with ADLs such as household 

chores, stair climbing etc. 

Strength exercises will improve your ability 

to complete such activities to reduce your 

limitations. 

A physiotherapist or exercise physiologist 

will be able to assist you with rehabilitation 

and may deliver exercises such as 

sit to stands, knee extensions, calf raises, 

hamstring curls etc. 

Completing walking and strength exercise 

develop both aerobic fitness and muscular 

strength allowing you to walk for greater 

distances, perhaps at a quicker pace, allowing 

you to improve functional everyday 

activities and can get you back to your usual 

routines. 

A big fear people may have post surgery is 

kneeling, however although uncomfortable 

it is not harmful. Most people will be able to 

fully straighten and bend their knee enough 

to complete activities like stair climbing, 

getting into cars and walking with a typical 

gait pattern. My take home message both 

before and after a TKR, motion is lotion! 

Call OnePointHealth on 4732 5188 to book 

an appointment to manage your knee pain 

prior to or following a knee replacement.

ENTERTAINMENT 

MOVIES, TELEVISION, MUSIC AND MORE – PARRAMATTA’S LEADING ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE 

SO FUNNY YOUR 

FACE WILL HURT! 

CASSIDY PEARCE 

Having revolutionised the ventriloquism 

scene in the 1980s, 

David Strassman is no doubt 

one of the biggest names in the 

industry. 

Though David notes his characters have 

changed over time, audience members will 

see this happen in real time, in his new show, 

‘The Chocolate Diet’. 

“The Chocolate Diet is pretty much all about 

our addictions in our lives, that we are pretty 

much slaves to,” he said. 

“For example, Ted E. Bare is addicted to 

chocolate, and in this show, he goes through 

some pretty drastic transitions and transformations. 

He gained a couple stone during 

COVID, and he decided to go on a diet, but he 

comes back so impossibly thin that his ribs are 

showing, and that’s a whole funny routine. 

“From that, he decides to eat again and he 

comes back impossibly obese, he has folds on 

folds, and so, it’s Ted E.’s journey, but we all experience 

that.” 

His latest production is one of his biggest 

yet, including special effects, music, and a set 

to die for. 

“It’s an amazing production, I have these 

massive sets, giant stacks of chocolate Krispy 

Kreme doughnuts and stacks of Tim Tams 

covered in chocolate sauce, and these massive 

banners of Sunday roasts and burgers with the 

lot,” he said. 

“It’s just a place of the most delicious food 

as the backdrop of the set, and then all my 

other puppets that are going through personality 

and identity crises which are absolutely 

shocking and hilarious at the same time.” 

But, there’s no doubt that the show will feature 

David’s trademark humour that will have 

you in stitches. 

“My show is a laugh every 10 seconds,” he 

said. 

“I do so much local material and local humour 

– I’ll be making fun of everybody.” 

David is currently on a two-month long tour 

of his second home in Australia, including 

a whopping five dates at Penrith Panthers, 

which are already on track to sell out. But, it’s 

not just the shows he’s looking forward to for 

when he makes his way west. 

“Penrith is absolutely amazing, we love it. It’s 

one of the most beautiful clubs in Sydney, in 

all of New South Wales. It’s like you’re going to 

Vegas or something!” he said. 

“Plus, the food options around Panthers is 

awesome. When you’re traveling and you have 

shite food options, it doesn’t really make for a 

good time, so I’m pleased it’s really gone off 

in Penrith.” 

As for who will enjoy this show, David is 

promising a good time for all. 

“If you love chocolate you’re going to love 

this show,” he said. 

“It’s a great night out, your face will be hurting 

after my show.” 

David Strassman’s ‘The Chocolate Diet’ 

will be on at the EVAN Theatre from October 

15. Tickets are $54.35. For more information,

REVIEW 

Bodies Bodies Bodies 

 

1 hour, 35 minutes 

Everything is working against ‘Bodies 

Bodies Bodies’ when deciding what 

movie you might want to see over the 

weekend. Granted, it looks a little tacky 

and the trailer doesn’t provide a lot of 

hope. 

But while it’s not exactly family entertainment, 

this horror / whodunit is a 

really entertaining ride that refuses to 

take itself too seriously while providing 

a running commentary on Gen Z. 

The film opens with a very passionate 

kiss (and I mean very) between two 

young women – almost a declaration 

from the very beginning that director 

Halina Reijn isn’t afraid test boundaries 

with her audience. 

Those snoggers are Sophie (Amandla 

Stenberg) and Bee (Maria Bakalova), 

the first of a group of friends we meet 

who are gathering for a house party 

while a serious storm unfolds outside. 

When the group plays a murder mystery 

game, things take a turn – you 

guessed it, the game becomes more 

than just a bit of fun as some real deaths 

start to mount up. 

Along the way we tackle all the big 

Gen Z issues – led by lack of mobile 

phone signal, though things do get 

somewhat deeper than that as mental 

health and the fragility of relationships 

becomes part of the conversation. 

The pay-off after 90 minutes of blood, 

gore and a few shocks to the system is 

a very clever ending that you probably 

won’t see coming. 

– Troy Dodds

Pro-Am to tee off at new course 

NATHAN TAYLOR 

Golfers across Sydney are gearing up 

to tee off at the Cumberland Golf 

Pro-Am Tournament being held on 

October 6 and 7 in Guildford. 

Players of all ages and abilities will be able to 

show off their skills as they go toe to toe with 

top professionals on the circuit at Woodville 

Golf Course. 

The event will be held over two days, the 

first day will be open to junior players from 

ages 12 to 16 years and the second day will 

see amateurs aged 18 and above take over the 

greens. 

Cumberland City Council Mayor, Lisa Lake, 

said the tournament is a great opportunity to 

showcase the outstanding golf courses and 

recent upgrades including the completion of 

the 7th hole at Woodville Golf Course. 

“This is a great opportunity to raise the 

profile of Council-owned golf courses, 

particularly with the new 7th hole,” she said. 

“The Woodville Golf Course is a premium 

playing space with Council laying down 

10,000m2 of new turf and significant path 

works at Woodville, so players will be in for a 

grand experience.” 

PGA representative and Tournament Coordinator, 

Peter Weldon, said the tournament is 

a great experience for players of all levels. 

“This is the first tournament we’ve been able 

to put on since COVID restrictions. It’ll be 

Cumberland Mayor Lisa Lake and Councillor Paul Garrard. 

good to see a bit of normalcy return to such an 

important event for golf players,” he said. 

“The tournament is a great opportunity 

for younger players to get a sense of what a 

professional PGA tournament looks and feels 

like. Having such passionate players coming 

together to improve in their skills can lead 

to them maybe one day becoming part of 

Australia’s top players.” 

The Cumberland Golf Pro-Am Tournament 

will be held this Thursday, October 6 and 

Friday, October 7 at Woodville Golf Course in 

Guildford.
