Council gets ball rolling 

City of Parramatta exploring possibility of major new sport and recreation centre 

ELLIE BUSBY 

City of Parramatta Councillors have 

voted to get the ball rolling on developing 

a new large, multipurpose 

indoor sport and recreation centre. 

Parramatta is working towards its dream of 

becoming the home of festivals, sports and 

entertainment by 2050, with the local Council 

now investigating the possibility of building a 

large, multipurpose indoor sport and recreation 

centre within the Local Government 

Area (LGA). 

Council said the facility would cater for a 

multitude of indoor sports and recreational 

activities, with the potential to include 

community meeting or conference spaces. 

The Council report also said it could house 

aquatic facilities like an indoor pool, as well as 

host community programs such as the PCYC 

Parramatta ‘Fit for life’ program, following 

the closure of its Parramatta branch earlier 

this year. 

With so many surrounding Council areas 

already having access to large indoor sporting 

facilities or in the process of developing one, 

Councillor Sameer Pandey said it’s important 

Parramatta has one of its own too. 

“Indoor facilities; we know the advantage of 

them, we know that we do not have enough, in 

fact we don’t have any of this scale in the city 

of Parramatta,” he said. 

A new indoor sport and recreation centre could be built in Parramatta. 

“One of the visions that we have in the 2050 

document [‘Parramatta 2050’] is to be the 

home of festivals, sports and entertainment. 

“I think it’s really important that we invest 

in indoor sporting facilities, it’s also one of the 

things that will climate-proof our sports and 

festivals.” 

However, if an indoor sport facility were to 

be built in Parramatta, Council said it would 

be reliant on securing significant funding 

from State or Federal Government grant 

programs. Finding a suitable site has also 

been identified as an issue, with the Council 

report stating the only landholdings capable 

of accommodating a large-scale facility are 

existing sports grounds. 

But Pandey said concerns of funding and 

finding the right space shouldn’t stop the 

Council from investigating the possibility of a 

large indoor sport facility. 

“We don’t need hectares of land, we have 

Billbergia’s sporting centre which is just right 

here… we’ll find this land, if we have the will 

we’ll find it and if we have the appetite to be 

the global city that we want to be we should 

also invest in indoor facilities,” he added. 

“There’ll be a number of mechanisms 

through which we can construct something 

like this, but it should be something we should 

be considering seriously. 

“I think we have to see the cost of not doing 

something, instead of the cost of doing something 

like this. So, in the long-term I think it’s 

worthwhile.” 

Supported unanimously by the Chamber, 

City of Parramatta will now prepare a report 

detailing the existing provisions for indoor 

sporting centres, as well as possible funding 

sources, operating costs and construction 

costs for the facility.

multipurpose indoor sport and recreation 

centre? Email news@parranews.com.au.

A team NSW fans can get behind 

During the years that Queensland dominated 

the State of Origin arena, as desperate as I 

was for the Blues to win, it never really felt like 

a team you wanted to get behind. 

Now, with a fresh set of eyes, Michael Maguire 

has delivered a Blues team that the whole 

State should passionately barrack for next 

Wednesday night. 

It’s been quite a week out for a boy from Parramatta. 

On Tuesday, I was summoned by my 

boss for an intimate work dinner with clients 

at a restaurant on the Opera House foreshore. 

With the Harbour Bridge behind us, we 

snacked on an “Indigenous Australian Grazing 

Plate”, including lemon myrtle tandoori 

crocodile, native thyme hummus and smoked 

kangaroo. 

By Friday evening, I was at the Sydney Writers 

Festival at City Recital Hall in Angel Place. 

The city’s intelligentsia were out in force with 

their titanium metal glasses to hear from Richard 

Flanagan and Anna Funder. 

To the chink of bubbly and warm ‘Q&A’-style 

applause, they expounded on the craft of writing 

and the general lot of an author’s life. 

And now we’re doing it all again with Vivid. 

It’s Sydney’s annual showcase of lights, 

lasers and installations, illuminated against 

the city’s architectural landmarks – which this 

year include train tunnels transformed into 

fluorescent rave caves. 

Vivid, which runs for three weeks until June 

15, is now in its 14th year. Key locations of 

the eight-kilometre Light Walk include Barangaroo, 

Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and 

Tumbalong Park. 

There is an ancillary program of arts, music 

and comedy events, as well as crackling, 

sumptuous dishes at the Vivid Fire Kitchen 

held along The Goods Line in Ultimo. This has 

been converted into a public corridor from old 

rail tracks. 

Vivid has always been a great event and

How good is the story of Dylan Edwards at

showcase for Sydney. Less appreciated is that 

it’s also an annual highlight for residents in 

western Sydney. 

It’s a low-cost family night out at a time when 

cash is tight. We’re at a point in late autumn 

when it’s not quite uncomfortably cold to be 

outdoors. Already, Western Line trains are 

filling in the evenings, before emptying out in 

the city as Mums and Dads clutching thermal 

flasks and beanie-clad babies pour out into 

the streets. 

I’ve often wondered about the special appeal 

of Vivid for western Sydney. This year’s theme 

is humanity and the search for meaning and 

purpose, apt sentiments in today’s troubled 

world. 

I think the appeal has something to do with 

the innate human attraction to light. We flock 

to light, perhaps, in the hope that it will illuminate 

some truth deep within. 

We go for a morning walk, cycle with mates – 

or catch waves at the beach – as the sun comes 

up. We film, photograph and Instagram it. In 

the Catholic Church, we light candles at the 

altar and at crypts, even passing the flame 

between the pews at special times of year. 

For those in our community of Hindu or Sikh 

background, Diwali is a time of year where 

people decorate their homes with diyas to 

attract joy, peace and goodness. Muslims all 

over the world similarly believe in a deity that 

is the “light of the heavens and the earth”. 

Whatever the reason, Vivid’s appeal taps into 

something universal. It is an event for everyone 

– and no coincidence that the families

As you look through this New South Wales 

side, there’s so many great stories that go 

along with it. 

I’m confident Maguire has found the perfect 

balance and the Blues can kick off the series 

with a win next Wednesday night. 

The Origin arena is the best rugby league has 

got. This series will be something special. 

Vivid is more than just a light show 

packing onto those trains reflect the full multicultural 

diversity of our suburbs. 

The reality is that for many of us living in the 

Parramatta and Cumberland region, heading 

into the city these days is also a big novelty, 

even an adventure. When I dined at the Opera 

House or attended that Writers Festival 

event, a part of me felt like a stranger, a tourist 

in my own city. It reflects how far we’ve come 

in seeing Parramatta and the greater West as 

something analytically distinct from the Sydney 

CBD. 

While it’s fun to get onto the train and soak 

up the atmosphere, the corollary is that perhaps 

it’s time we shouldn’t need to. From 

Parramatta to Harris Park to Cabramatta, Fairfield, 

Liverpool and Lakemba, we have major 

suburban centres, attractions and iconic 

buildings that should be sharing in the Vivid 

spirit. 

According to the most recent figures, Destination 

NSW spent just $2.5 million of its $82.5 

million budget in 2021-22 on tourism-generating 

projects west of Olympic Park. 

There is always talk of bringing Vivid to 

Western Sydney. The Sydney Festival and Film 

Festival always have offshoots events in the 

suburbs, which come off a bit token. But as 

for the upcoming South by Southwest Festival 

actually being held in Sydney’s south-west? 

Forget about it. 

So, let’s enjoy this year’s spectacular attractions 

in the Sydney CBD. But always remember, 

that the places where we live are already 

pretty vivid as well.

First Nations culture in focus 

at range of events in Parramatta 

ELLIE BUSBY 

Parramatta is putting the spotlight on 

First Nations culture, with a line-up 

of events taking place across the city 

to celebrate the Burramattagal people’s 

connection to the land. 

City of Parramatta’s annual Warami – the 

Dharug word for ‘good to see you’ – has 

returned to deliver an eight-week program 

of First Nations art, music, storytelling and 

culture to the people of western Sydney. 

Warami kicked off with National Sorry Day 

on May 26, which brought people together 

for a day of acknowledgement, reflection and 

healing to honour the Stolen Generations. 

This year, for the first time, the local Council 

will also be hosting the family-friendly Stories 

Under the Stars event on June 1 from 3pm, as 

part of National Reconciliation Week. 

To be held along the Parramatta River 

Foreshore, it will feature an outdoor cinema, 

performances, traditional workshops and 

activities, as well as a chance to meet former 

Parramatta Eels star Dean Widders and watch 

his film ‘Araatika! Rise Up!’. 

Other Parramatta Eels players are also 

anticipated to stop by to meet locals in the 

afternoon, including proud Kimilaroi woman 

Mahalia Murphy. 

Parramatta’s first ever glow-in-the-dark art 

The annual celebration of Burramatta NAIDOC will feature an 

outdoor concert, workshops and markets. 

installation at the newly named Yilabara Path 

will also be featured during the event. Located 

at 78 Phillip Street, the artwork was created by 

First Nations artist Leanne Redpath Watson 

in collaboration with artists Tina Barahanos 

and Alexandra Byrne. 

City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Pierre Esber 

said Stories Under the Stars is a chance for the 

community to recognise, learn and celebrate 

the city’s rich First Nations culture and heritage. 

“Parramatta is leading the way with this 

unique celebration at the Parramatta River 

Foreshore and by transforming one of its 

laneways into a First Nations arts and culture 

masterpiece,” Esber said. 

“The incredible glow-in-the-dark artwork 

at Yilabara Path is not only a work that rivals 

other street art across other parts of greater 

Sydney but provides a safe passage for pedestrians 

and cyclists travelling at night.

Parramatta to be home to new 

lyric theatre 

ELLIE BUSBY 

Parramatta has pulled the 

curtain back on the $188 

million plus redevelopment 

of Riverside Theatres, revealing 

a Broadway-style lyric theatre for 


After much anticipation, the 

winning design for the iconic local 

theatre has finally been announced. 

Led by COX Architecture with 

3XN Architects, Aileen Sage, Turf 

Design Studio, and Bangawarra, the 

new design will more than double 

Riverside Theatres’ current capacity 

to 2,780 seats. 

It will enable the venue to welcome 

more than 400,000 visitors per year. 

Along with the new 1,500-seat lyric 

theatre, the venue will also include 

a refurbished 760-seat Riverside 

Playhouse theatre, an all-new 

420 seat black-box drama theatre 

and state-of-the-art 80 seat digital 

studio and cinema and enhanced 

public spaces. 

The Riverside redevelopment 

project has been jointly funded by 

City of Parramatta and the NSW 

Government’s Western Sydney 

Infrastructure Grants. Speaking in 

Parramatta, NSW Minister for the 

Arts John Graham said the redeveloped 

Riverside Theatres will really 

make Parramatta a performance 

powerhouse. 

“It’s a very exciting development, 

that’s why we committed ahead of 

the election to invest $40 million,” 

he said. 

“This is really where arts, culture 

and performance will happen now, 

it’s a huge boost for arts and culture 

in western Sydney. 

“Once you have a 1,500-seat 

Broadway-style lyric theatre here, 

that will be transformative.” 

For Lord Mayor Pierre Esber, it 

will bring the city one step closer to 

its vision of becoming the home of 

entertainment, festivals and sport 

by 2050. 

“It will be great for the Sydney, 

great for Parramatta, great for us 

all,” he told Parra News. 

“It will cement Parramatta as the 

cultural precinct of Sydney. We 

have a lot talent here in the city and 

we don’t want to lose that, we want 

to keep it here. 

“It will give the young 

up-and-comers confidence that

they know they’re in their own 

city, they can get things done, and 

they’ve got venues and facilities 

here instead of trekking all over the 

place.” 

With construction set to start 

in late 2025, doors to the new 

multi-million performing arts facility 

are expected to open in 2028. 

State Member for Parramatta 

Donna Davis said the new Riverside 

Theatres will help to establish 

Parramatta as the major CBD of 


“This investment in Riverside 

Theatres is part of a bigger vision to 

enliven Parramatta, we are at the 

forefront of the 24-hour economy,” 

she added. 

“We know that to enliven a city 

you need to have all those different 

elements working together. Great 

public transport so that people can 

come and enjoy those facilities, 

we want to be able to embolden 

our restaurants, we want to have a 

wonderful nightlife.” 

On behalf of the winning design 

team, Joe Agius, Design Director 

with COX Architecture, said the 

reimagined Riverside Theatres will 

be a major uplift in the cultural 

capacity for Parramatta. 

“Guided by a commitment to the 

location’s First Nations origin and 

sense of place, our goal was for a 

design that sensitively responds to 

both the natural beauty of the river 

and the site’s city context,” he said. 

“Our team of creative collaborators 

are honoured to be part of this 

transformative project.”

Cumberland Council Mayor 

Lisa Lake said she was pleased to 

officially re-open the park to the 

community. 

“This is a significant milestone 

for the Pendle Hill community. 

Civic Park holds a special place in 

the hearts of children, families and 

locals,” she said. 

“These upgrades mean our 

community members can enjoy 

spending quality time outdoors in 

The finished upgrades were revealed at the recent re-opening of Civic Park. 

this new park with its improved 

amenities, play equipment and 

walking paths.” 

As part of the Civic Park Project, 

the Pendle Creek wetlands were also 

upgraded to include new pedestrian 

bridges and improved connections 

through the carpark to the Pendle 

Hill Town Centre, new gabion walls, 

island planting and litter collection 

rack. 

Member for Prospect Dr Hugh 

McDermott welcomed the 

upgrades, saying it will ensure 

Pendle Hill and the wider Cumberland 

community has an inclusive 

and accessible green space for many 

years to come. 

“The park will serve as a gathering 

space, where our wonderfully 

diverse community can meet and 

enjoy the great outdoors,” he said. 

“This project provides modern 

infrastructure and equipment for 

people of all ages. The new Civic 

Park is an excellent addition to our 

vibrant local community, and I am 

confident it will bring great joy to 

young kids and adults, alike.” 

The project has been jointly 

funded by Cumberland Council 

and the NSW Government’s Western 

Sydney Infrastructure Grants 

Program, which contributed $7 

million to the park upgrade. 

Minister for Planning and Public 

Spaces Paul Scully said the transformed 

playspace will be popular 

among locals. 

“The new playspace is the 

centrepiece of Council’s Civic Park 

masterplan which allows people 

of all ages and abilities to enjoy,” 

Scully said. 

“The adventurous playspace 

upgrade is easily accessible and will 

be well-utilised with lots of nearby 

housing and Girraween Public 

School only a short walk away.” 

The Civic Park project is one of 

four projects being led by Cumberland 

Council that will deliver 

over $80 million in community 

infrastructure, funded by the NSW 

Government’s Western Sydney 

Infrastructure Grants Program.

FRESH-LOOK FOR CENTURY-OLD VENUE 

After a $5 million renovation, Guildford 

Hotel has officially re-opened, revealing a 

fresh new look for the near 100-year-old venue. 

It’s a new era for the iconic watering hole, 

with the opening of the new bistro and cocktail 

bar marking the completion of Guildford 

Hotel’s extensive renovations. 

It comes after a new state-of-the-art sports 

bar, which features a four-metre screen that 

broadcasts all major sporting events, and a 

beer garden opened earlier this year. 

Along with its new spaces, the venue’s 

renovations also include a western Sydney-inspired 

mural painted by artist Nico Nicoson in 

the beer garden. 

Guildford Hotel said the mural serves as 

a cultural tapestry to the West, weaving 

together symbols of multiculturalism, like 

Oriental lanterns, a spirited dancing lion, and 

Arabic arched windows, with the Indigenous 

beauty of Australian wildlife, represented by 

the cockatoo and eucalyptus motifs. 

Kimmie Mel, venue licensee, says that the 

re-imagining of the local pub is about attracting 

a broader demographic and having a place 

where families feel welcome. 

Officially opening on Saturday, May 25, 

the launch coincided with Cumberland City 

Council’s festival for the upgraded Guildford 

Laneway. 

The new cocktail bar has officially opened at 

Guildford Hotel. 

To find out more about what’s happening, go 

to www.guildfordhotel.com.au. 

More than 7,000 people have been 

impacted by a major cyber breach at Western 

Sydney University. 

The University (WSU) has notified individuals 

impacted by unauthorised access 

to its IT network earlier this year. 

The intrusion was identified in January 

2024 and quickly shut down, while an 

investigation commenced and remediation 

measures were implemented. 

“Since January 2024, the University 

undertook its due diligence to understand 

the nature, scope and scale of the incident, 

the number of individuals impacted, and to 

protect against further harm. This was also 

done in accordance with the University’s 

legal obligations,” WSU said in a statement 

issued last Tuesday afternoon. 

“The investigation has indicated that 

the earliest known unauthorised access 

to the University’s Microsoft Office 365 

environment was on 17 May 2023 and 

included access to some email accounts 

and SharePoint files.” 

Investigations also indicate that the 

University’s Solar Car Laboratory infrastructure 

may have been used as part of 

the incident. 

“Monitoring and scanning indicates that 

the preventative measures taken as a part 

of the incident response have successfully 

prevented any further unauthorised 

access,” the statement said. 

“The University is working with a range 

of authorities, including NSW Police whose 

investigation is ongoing. The University 

has also been in ongoing contact and 

working closely with the NSW Information 

and Privacy Commission.”

ELLIE BUSBY 

Western Sydney artists now have 

a new dedicated space to create 

and collaborate in Granville, 

with a new Parramatta Artists Studios 

(PAS) site officially open. 

The Granville venue, which joins Council’s 

Parramatta Artists Studios in Rydalmere, 

offers one-year studio tenancies for new 

artists with callouts for interested artists 

made annually. 

As the largest council-led artist studio 

initiative in Sydney, PAS has supported 

hundreds of artists to hone their craft and 

create contemporary art since its opening 

in 2006. 

It’s a full circle moment for PAS artist 

Serwah Attafuh, whose mum was among 

the first artists at the Hunt Street Parramatta 

Artists Studio back in 2007. 

“I remember running around the studio 

as a kid and having fun and just seeing her 

make stuff, and now, 15 years later, I’m an 

artist at Parramatta Rydalmere,” she said. 

“I create digital art predominantly but 

now that I have the space to work on a bigger 

scale I’m working on sculptures and oil 

paintings and doing my music which I really 

love, so there’s a lot of space to experiment.” 

The new creative hub in Granville offers 

studios for 12 artists for a 12-month residency. 

It also includes a dedicated space for the 

First Nations community to collaborate, a 

space for regional, interstate and international 

creators to use, and event spaces for 

special workshops, community 

programs and talks. 

Attafuh said it’s so important for artists to 

have a space like PAS to create art. 

“I think what makes PAS unique is that I 

don’t see a lot of local Councils or Government, 

or many institutions really, create a 

really holistic space for artists to work and to 

grow and to make things,” she added. 

“I just don’t see local Councils doing this 

sort of stuff and I think it’s really important, 

not only for artists but for the community. 

“It feels like something really important is 

going to be kicking off here pretty soon.” 

City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Pierre 

Esber said the investment in Parramatta 

Artists Studios reflected Council’s commitment 

to making the city a major arts and 

cultural precinct. 

“We want Parramatta to be a magnet for 

creatives and Parramatta Artists Studios is a 

key part of that, providing a space to support 

artists at all stages of their career to develop 

new works and forge new connections 

across the creative community,” Esber said. 

“There is nothing of this scale run by a 

local council anywhere else in Sydney – I’m 

in awe at the work that has been produced 

by PAS in the past and can’t wait to see what 

the future brings. 

“The studios are now home to 12 new 

artists who have a space of their own for 

12 months and I look forward to seeing the 

works they produce.” 

This project has been jointly funded by the 

NSW Government and City of Parramatta 

with Council contributing $250,000.

Uproar over new units 

Andrew Charlton is pushing a petition to prevent high-rise units in Harris Park 

ELLIE BUSBY 

Federal Member for Parramatta Dr 

Andrew Charlton is urging locals to 

sign a petition to stop a proposal for 

483 new high-rise units in Harris Park, warning 

it will spell “disaster” for locals. 

Over a year since a plan to replace a former 

pharmaceutical site with a $147 million residential 

apartment development over three 

buildings was revealed, residents are still 

fighting against it. 

Under the plans, buildings would vary from 

four to eight storeys in height, with the application 

saying half of it will be affordable housing 

and half for long-term renters through 

build-to-rent accommodation. 

Located at 2a Gregory Place, the proposed 

site sits at the “midpoint of three of the most 

significant houses in Australia” – Hambledon 

Cottage, Elizabeth Farm and Experiment 

Farm Cottage. 

It would also overlook the popular Our Lady 

of Lebanon Co-Cathedral. 

Its proximity to such historic and important 

local buildings has left locals, heritage 

advocates and Government representatives 

frustrated. 

“I think this will be a disaster for Harris Park 

and Parramatta,” Charlton told Parra News. 

“It’s a cry from the heart, we’ve been 

overwhelmed by the amount of community 

Andrew Charlton said the proposed development would mean “no more blue skies” for the 

Maronite community. Photo: Melinda Jane. 

concern about this. 

“There were 104 submissions made against 

the development on the NSW Planning Portal, 

the Change.org petition has 5,295 signatures, 

it’s one of the biggest uproars from the 

community that I’ve seen.” 

The owner of the site, 2A Gregory Place Pty 

Limited, has still yet to respond to the submissions 

made. It includes an objection by City of 

Parramatta Council on the grounds the development 

is inconsistent with the character of 

the surrounding area. 

The planning application will ultimately be 

decided by the NSW Government. 

But with the state currently in a housing 

crisis and a need for more affordable housing 

remaining a top priority, it’s unclear what 

will win out – protection of heritage or more 

accommodation. 

Charlton acknowledges there’s a strong need 

for more housing in Parramatta, but believes 

it shouldn’t be at the cost of nationally significant 

sites. 

“Obviously we need more housing in 

Parramatta, but that housing needs to be in 

the right spot,” he said. 

“We’ve got lots of new developments going up 

in the CBD, this one is just right in the middle 

of the most significant heritage precincts not 

just in Parramatta, but in Australia. 

“So, yes, we need housing, but not housing at 

any cost, at any place – it’s the right housing in 

the right place.” 

Committed to making sure the contentious 

development doesn’t go ahead, Charlton has 

since started a petition online, saying the 

development will mean “no more blue skies” 

for the local community. 

“We’ve launched our petition, we’ve met 

with the National Trust to get support about 

launching an application to list the area… so 

this is part of our plan going forward to get 

National Heritage Listing of the precinct,” he 

said. 

“That National Heritage Listing would go 

some way to protecting it or preventing the 

development.”

@ChrisMinnsMP 

We need kids to have happy lives 

outside of their phone screens 

As parents in the modern 

world, we are all grappling 

with the enormous role that 

social media plays in the life of our 

children. 

Where previous generations were 

out riding their bikes, moving 

through nature, building their 

friendships in person, young people 

today are learning about life via 

various screens, on websites that 

have little interest in their healthy 

development. 

To be frank, I’m concerned about 

the harm this is having on our kids. 

Many of these sites are deliberately 

addictive, designed to hook impressionable 

minds in an endless loop 

of scrolling. They’re built with one 

goal in mind: to keep people online 

for as long as possible, whether it 

makes them happy or not. 

Even worse, social media sites are 

designed to intensify the feelings of 

insecurity and self-doubt that come 

twice as likely to experience poor 

mental health, including symptoms 

of depression and anxiety. 

We have to ask whether this is a 

healthy way for kids to be growing 

up and maturing into adults. 

With that question in mind, the 

NSW Government will be hosting 

a social media summit this year, to 

address the impact that only platforms 

are having on children and 

young people. 

It will examine the latest evidence 

and develop a response to growing 

community concern about the 

mental health impacts of social 

media, especially for young kids. 

This is something that families are 

already dealing with, within their 

own homes. It’s perfectly reasonable 

to feel uncomfortable with level 

of exposure children have to these 

platforms. 

My hope is that this summit will 

offer a practical way forward, so 

young people can still enjoy the 

benefits of technology, while living

BUSINESS 

WITH REBECCA DI NOIA 

WESTERN SYDNEY BUSINESS CENTRE • 4721 5011 

What’s coming to shake up retail 

As we approach the middle of 2024, 

the retail industry is starting to see 

some significant changes. Here are 

the four retail predictions that businesses 

can expect in the coming years: 

Live Shopping 

Live Shopping is a new trend that is quickly 

gaining popularity, with TikTok and Instagram 

investing in it. The TikTok shop is set 

to launch in Australia, with around 30 stores 

already testing it out. TikTok Shop will allow 

customers to interact with the brand owner 

or ‘influencers’ on the platform 

through live chat. 

AI 

AI is taking over several 

aspects of businesses 

that are algorithm-driven. 

AI 

technology is becoming more sophisticated 

each day, and it can help business owners 

focus on data and inventory planning, 

automate tasks, analyse data, and provide 

insights that can help them make better 

decisions. 

Creator-led brands 

Partnership marketing is on the rise in the 

retail industry. We are likely to see more and 

more businesses partnering with creators or 

influencers to create unique products and 

content. This trend is known as ‘creator-led 

brands,’ where creators collaborate with 

brands to come up with new products or 

services. By doing this, brands can leverage 

the creators’ following to reach a wider 

audience. 

Omnichannel 

Customers today want to physically interact 

with brands, not just see them on social 

media and websites. As such, businesses are 

exploring various omnichannel strategies 

such as pop-up shops, meet-ups, and experience 

centers to provide a more immersive 

customer experience. This will enable 

customers to experience the brand in a more 

tangible way, which can help them make 

more informed purchasing decisions. 

With the rise of the popularity of Temu 

and Shein, business owners need to think 

about their value proposition, rather than 

comparing on price alone. It is also crucial 

for businesses to be aware of the trends, stay 

ahead of the curve and continue to thrive in 

an ever-changing retail landscape.

jumping to conclusions could land you 

in hot water – especially when it comes to 

a family member or a close friend. 

You won’t feel particularly energetic 

or motivated, as Saturn drains the gas 

out of your tank. Avoid the temptation to 

get carried away and make unrealistic 

promises. It will be very easy to over-extend 

yourself and find you’ve bitten off 

more than you can comfortably chew! 

Use the prevailing astro-winds wisely 

as you re-calibrate your expectations, 

especially when it comes to domestic 

matters and family members. Creative 

collaboration will take you far. 

When it comes to managing a complicated 

financial matter, Uranus encourages 

you to be creative and have a flexible 

plan. And Mercury urges you to look at a 

current problem in a less judgmental and 

more rational way. The situation is in the 

process of transforming in an organic 

fashion. Your ruler Mars is currently 

in Aries (until June 9) so avoid rushing 

things and trying to force change. Do 

your best to be proactive and patient; 

dynamic and diplomatic.

This week curious Mercury and innovative 

Uranus link up in your sign. So it’s 

time to speed up your thinking, explore 

innovative ideas, discuss alternative 

points of view, and try new approaches. 

Keep what’s working in your life – but 

throw out things that aren’t working and 

don’t be afraid to break a few stodgy old 

rules. Inspiration for the week is from 

movie icon (and birthday great) Marilyn 

Monroe, “If I’d observed all the rules, I’d 

never have got anywhere.” 

As the Sun makes its annual transit 

through doppelganger Gemini (sign of 

the double-trouble Twins) prepare for 

a stop-start kind of week! Frantically 

go-go-go one day (Mercury/Uranus) and 

frustratingly slow the next (Mercury/ 

Saturn). So you need to be nimble, adaptable 

and stoical. Plus – with Mercury and 

Uranus sometimes snoozing in your solitude 

zone – take the time to slow down 

and reassess where you are going … and 

where you’ve been. 

You’re keen to retreat into your cosy 

Crab cave as the Sun, Venus and Jupiter 

all transit through your contemplation 

zone. So solo activities like yoga, meditation, 

reading and journal writing are 

favoured this week. But – if you stumble 

and make a mistake – don’t let negative 

self-talk drag you down. Keep going! Be 

inspired by birthday great Kylie Minogue 

(who turns 56 on Tuesday), “I didn’t want 

to fizzle out. I had to keep going, like a 

little Shetland pony.”

Fiery Mars activates your travel zone, 

so a heavenly holiday is likely sometime 

soon. But it won’t happen if you’re a 

lackadaisical Leo! Take action ASAP via 

a spontaneous booking (if you’ve got the 

money) or a smart savings plan (if you’re 

currently cash-strapped). The Sun, 

Venus and Jupiter also urge you to take a 

good long look at your hopes and wishes 

for the future. Do they need a shake-up? 

Make sure your dreams are creative, 

flexible and fun. 

This week Mercury (your power planet) 

connects with Saturn and Uranus, so 

concentration and curiosity will take 

you far. The focus is also on work as the 

Sun, Venus and Jupiter all jump through 

your professional zone. But don’t overdo 

it Virgo … and don’t make the mistake of 

neglecting family and close friends. As 

movie star (and birthday great) Marilyn 

Monroe observed, “A career is wonderful, 

but you can’t curl up with it on a cold 

night.” 

Saturn (in your job zone) links up with 

Mercury so it’s a good time to study, learn, 

apply yourself and work hard. Motto 

for the week comes from Kylie Minogue 

(who turns 56 on Tuesday), “There’s 

no shortcut to learning a craft; you just 

have to put the years in.” International 

adventures and interstate escapades 

are calling as the Sun, Venus and Jupiter 

activate your travel zone. Be patient and 

make it a priority to plan (and save for) a 

dream holiday later in the year. 

SCORPIO 

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22 

SAGITTARIUS 

NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21 

CAPRICORN 

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20 

You currently have four planets 

(Mercury, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune) 

transiting through your relationship 

zones. So other people could perplex you 

with their confusing behaviour. Avoid 

being a cynical Scorpio who sabotages 

partnerships. Nurture and cherish your 

close connections. If you’re unhappily 

single, keep pursuing your dream of 

finding your soul mate. Be inspired by 

Kylie Minogue, “I’m sure that love exists. 

Even infinite, eternal love.” 

Avoid jumping to conclusions, making 

hasty assumptions and passing on 

unsubstantiated information. Slow down 

Sagittarius! The Sun, Venus and Jupiter 

are jumping through your partnership 

zone. So creative, diplomatic communication 

(and a spirit of generosity) will 

help improve relations with family and 

friends, as you get your message out loud 

and clear. Friday is fabulous for lightbulb 

moments as you discuss innovative ideas 

and think outside the box. 

The week starts well with the positive 

link between mind planet Mercury and 

your ruler Saturn. Which encourages 

clear thinking, disciplined work, 

strategic planning, goal-setting and 

problem-solving for clever Capricorns. 

And then Friday’s stars favour innovative 

ideas, unusual points of view and longterm 

friendships. As movie star Marlene 

Dietrich (a fellow Capricorn) observed, 

“It’s the friends you can call up at four am 

that matter.”

IN THE MIRROR with Cassidy Pearce 

The Shark SmoothStyle Heated 

Comb Straightener + Smoother 

The 2020’s have brought back 

voluminous curls in a huge way, 

drawing inspiration from ‘70s 

blowouts and Victoria’s Secret ‘Angel 

Waves’ and perfecting them with 

modern techniques and products to 

create a brand new 2024-esque style. 

If you, like myself, shudder just looking 

at a round brush, there are thankfully 

now plenty of tools to make this 

look happen, from traditional rollers, 

to newer heatless methods, and even 

heated round brushes that do it all for 

you in one fell swoop. 

Shark has just thrown their own hat 

in the ring with the newest addition to 

their armoury of tools – and it may just 

be my favourite yet. 

Introducing the Shark SmoothStyle 

Heated Comb Straightener + Smoother 

– an all-in-one tool which is said to dry, 

style and smooth, by simply brushing 

your hair. 

What makes this tool different than 

others on the market is that rather 

than having different attachments like 

the FlexStyle or the SpeedStyle, the 

SmoothStyle is truly a one-stop-shop, 

instead utilising different modes on the 

one brush. 

The wider sides of the brush are 

intended to help you go from wet to dry 

on wash day using Wet Hair Mode. The 

brush face includes a combination of 

nylon bristles and boar bristles for grabbing, 

smoothing, and shining. There 

are also three heat settings, so you can 

truly customise the experience to your 

hair type, and prioritise the health of 

your hair. 

Once dry, the narrower sides can 

then be used on Dry Hair Mode. In this 

mode, the air turns off and the heat 

turns up, ensuring you can get a sleek, 

perfected result. 

I will admit, before I tried out this tool 

for the first time, I had some doubts 

about using it on my curly hair. Back in 

the mid-2010’s there was a straightening 

hair brush phase that I remember never 

quite getting anyone’s roots. But, spoiler 

alert, I was wrong. 

Right off the bat, I found the Smooth- 

Style’s packaging to be really helpful in 

getting started, complete with images, 

directions and even links to videos you 

can watch so you know exactly what you 

should be doing with the tool before you 

even get it out of the box. 

I find the tool to be best used on 

about 50 per cent dried hair – so it’s not 

sopping wet, but not completely dry 

either. 

From here, I split my hair into three or 

four sections, spraying them with heat 

protectant and drying them using Wet 

Hair Mode separately. I like to use the 

medium heat setting on my hair, though 

of course you can customise this based 

on what your hair needs. 

I do find that I can get my hair pretty 

smooth with just Wet Hair Mode, 

however Dry Hair Mode is really the 

cherry on top. Using the brush, you 

can straighten your hair, or add your 

own flair to create a bouncy blowout. 

It’s also great for touch-ups in the days 

following! 

With my curly hair, it takes about an 

hour to go from wet to the finished product, 

however I do think this will lessen 

when I have even more experience with 

the tool. Given that the SmoothStyle 

uses less heat than typical hair tools, it 

also feels much less damaging. 

Overall, at $150, I think the Shark 

SmoothStyle is a great addition to 

anyone’s kit, and would be the perfect 

travel companion.

“Refugee girls from Afghanistan, firs thing 

that comes to our mind ‘you are an Afghan 

girl, you can’t do it’,” she said. 

“In Parrama ta, I say, I can do this. You

ENTERTAINMENT 

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

ICONIC 

VOICE 

CASSIDY PEARCE 

In 1960s Australia, there were few 

corners you could turn without seeing 

the influence of Dinah Lee. 

Famous for her singing, fashion, 

and even being the face of a cosmetics 

line, Lee was no doubt one of the most 

iconic female entertainers of the time – 

though she said it was no easy feat. 

“It was a little difficult for female singers 

in that era, because the male singers were 

so dominant,” she said. 

“Because I had hit records, I was put on 

the same level as them, and I didn’t take 

any crap from them.” 

It’s for this reason that for Lee, seeing 

female singers well and truly topping the 

charts in 2024 is so incredibly special. 

“It’s fantastic, with Taylor Swift and P!NK 

and Lady Gaga,” she said. 

“I love today’s music, I really do, because 

I’m a Mod so I keep up with all the latest 

fashion and music. I think the girl singers 

today are absolutely fabulous, and of 

course the Aussie girls are just as worldclass 

as well.” 

And these changes in the times are not 

only being reflected on the world stage, but 

also right here at home, being displayed in 

her newest show, ‘The Good Old Days of 

Rock ‘N’ Roll’. 

Though once upon a time women seldom 

performed together up on stage, Lee will 

be joined not only by Little Pattie, but also 

Jade Hurley, Lucky Starr and Digger Revell 

for the special show, which will be coming 

to Penrith next month. 

“We all grew up together, and we did 

shows together, especially TV shows like 

‘The Tonight Show’ and ‘Bandstand’, 

so we would meet up with 

each other everywhere,” she said. 

“In those days, girls didn’t perform 

with girls, but today we do, and it’s fabulous! 

I can perform with Little Pattie, and 

we can perform with the guys.” 

The group will each take turns performing 

their most iconic hits from the time, 

reliving their favourite memories from the 

‘60s, and encouraging audience members 

to do the same. 

“When you do sing the songs, you can 

see the audiences faces – they sort of go 

back to that era and they all look like 

teenagers again, because they’re just 

loving it,” she said. 

“We want people to just come and 

have a great time, enjoy the show, 

enjoy the music, and just bring back 

wonderful memories that they have 

of their youth.” 

The tour will also mark Lee’s return 

to Australia, where, despite 

being born in New Zealand, she 

has spent the vast majority of 

her life until moving home just 

recently. 

“I love coming back to Aussie, 

because that’s where I did all my 

major work from 1965 to 2022,” 

she said. 

“I’m more of an Aussie than a 

Kiwi – but we won’t tell the New 

Zealanders that!” 

‘The Good Old Days of Rock 

‘N’ Roll’ will be on at Penrith 

Panthers on Sunday, June 2 at 

2pm. For more information or

Lainey Wilson, winner of 

Entertainer of the Year. 

Lainey’s big win 

No surprises that Lainey 

Wilson was the big winner 

at the ACM Awards, held 

earlier this month. 

Wilson beat out the likes 

of Chris Stapleton, Luke 

Combs and Morgan Wallen 

to win the coveted Entertainer 

of the Year award. 

She also won Female Artist 

of the Year and Music Event

The heartstring-pulling 

‘Next Thing You Know’ by 

Jordan Davis won Song of 

the Year. 

Luke Combs won Single of 

the Year for ‘Fast Car’ while 

Chris Stapleton’s ‘Higher’ 

won Album of the Year. 

Stapleton also won Male 

Artist of the Year. 

Strait back to it 

On the heels of sharing 

the news of his 31st studio 

album with fans during a 

sold-out show at Indianapolis’ 

Lucas Oil Stadium 

earlier this month, Country 

Music Hall of Fame member 

George Strait has debuted 

the first release from 

‘Cowboys And Dreamers’ 

with ‘MIA Down in MIA’. 

Written by Adam Craig and 

Dean Dillion, and produced 

by Strait with Chuck Ainlay, 

the song features the Texas 

native’s Ace in the Hole 

Band, including longtime 

fiddle player Gene Elder. 

“I’m dedicating this 

record to my longtime 

manager and friend Erv 

Woolsey and my longtime 

fiddle player and friend 

Gene Elders (a player on 

four of these tracks), who we 

lost on the same day, March 

20, 2024, as well as my 

longtime friend and road 

manager Tom Foote, who 

we lost on April 29, 2024,” 

shared Strait. 

“I will never forget all of the 

good times we had together. 

May they rest in peace with 

our Lord Jesus Christ.”

PREVIEW 

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga The Way, My Way 

2 hours, 28 minutes 1 hour, 40 minutes 

‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ 

is a post-apocalyptic action 

adventure film co-produced 

and directed by 

George Miller. It is the fifth 

installment in the Mad Max 

franchise, serving as both 

a spin-off and prequel to 

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’. The 

film stars Anya Taylor-Joy 

and Alyla Browne as younger 

versions of the titular 

character Imperator Furiosa, 

originally portrayed 

by Charlize Theron. As the 

world fell, young Furiosa 

is snatched from the Green 

Place of Many Mothers and 

falls into the hands of a 

great Biker Horde led by the 

Warlord Dementus. Sweeping 

through the Wasteland, 

they come across the Citadel 

presided over by The 

Immortan Joe. While the 

two Tyrants war for dominance, 

Furiosa must survive 

many trials as she puts 

together the means to find 

her way home. 

‘The Way, My Way’ is based on Bill Bennett’s 

best-selling memoir of the same 

name. The film tells the charming and captivating 

true story of a stubborn, self-centred 

Australian man who decides to walk 

the 800-kilometre-long Camino de Santiago 

pilgrimage route through Spain. He 

doesn’t know why he’s doing it… but one 

step at a time, it will change him and his 

outlook on life forever.

Previous solution - Medium 

How to beat Str8ts – 

Like Sudoku, no single number can 

repeat in any row or column. But... 

rows and columns are divided by black 

squares into compartments. These 

need to be filled in with numbers that 

complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set 

of numbers with no gaps but can be in 

any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black 

cells remove that number as an option 

in that row and column, and are not part 

of any straight. Glance at the solution to

How to beat Str8ts – 

Like Sudoku, no single number can 

repeat in any row or column. But... 

rows and columns are divided by black 

squares into compartments. These 

need to be filled in with numbers that 

complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set 

of numbers with no gaps but can be in 

any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black 

cells remove that number as an option 

in that row and column, and are not part 

of any straight. Glance at the solution to 

see how ‘straights’ are formed.

Iconic partnership re-established 

NATHAN TAYLOR 

The Parramatta Eels will be hoping 

their new major sponsor will send 

them back to the glory days of the 

‘80s after it was announced global building 

products group James Hardie will return to 

the club’s jersey from 2025. 

The four-year sponsorship re-establishes 

one of rugby league’s most iconic partnerships. 

It’s set to rekindle Eels fans’ memories 

of the club’s golden era when Parramatta won 

four premierships between 1981 and 1986 

with James Hardie as its major sponsor. 

Under the new partnership, James Hardie 

will become the Eels’ front of jersey and lower 

back of jersey sponsor and gain access to 

the Eels’ fan base through game day, digital 

and stadium brand activations, as well as 

merchandise and hospitality rights. 

Combined with the recent re-signing of 

ALAND Developments and ATS Building 

Products, the new partnership will see the 

Eels have one of the highest value jerseys in 

Australian sport. The increased investment 

will directly support the growing football 

programs across their men’s, women’s and 

elite pathways teams. 

Key to the partnership will be an opportunity 

for James Hardie to initiate a career pathways 

program into the construction sector for 

Greater Western Sydney. 

With a strong focus on community, the 

partnership will facilitate deeper support for 

Halfback Mitchell Moses, James Hardie CEO Aaron Erter and fullback Clint Gutherson. 

existing key charity partners, while supporting 

the Eels social impact programs which 

focus on mental health, respect, culture and 

active kids. 

Parramatta CEO Jim Sarantinos welcomed 

the partnership, saying the club was delighted 

to strengthen an iconic relationship with deep 

historic roots for both organisations. 

“Eels fans will remember the club’s previous 

association with James Hardie as major 

sponsor from 1981 to 1995, which coincided 

with the greatest period in the club’s history,” 

he said. 

“The alignment between our two organisations 

is powerful. As a club we are deeply 

connected to western Sydney and its 

community, Australia’s third largest economy 

– a region that James Hardie invests in and 

supports as a key manufacturer, employer 

and supplier. 

“In addition to supporting our football 

programs and social impact outcomes, 

through this partnership, our club and James 

Hardie will work together to expand skills, 

investment and entrepreneurship in western 

Sydney. We look forward to strengthening our 

club’s foundations, providing opportunities 

for our community, and laying the groundwork 

for an era of success together again.” 

James Hardie said the Eels sponsorship 

aligned neatly with the company’s state 

purpose – Building a Better Future for All. 

“The Parramatta Eels and James Hardie 

have a deep historic connection, but we also 

have a shared passion for what this partnership 

can do for the community and for us to 

activate our purpose, Building a Better Future 

for All,” James Hardie CEO, Aaron Erter said. 

“We’re making a commitment to the football 

team, but we see this as a much greater 

commitment to Parramatta and western 

Sydney. The Eels’ purpose is to ‘uplift lives, 

deliver unforgettable moments and bring 

communities together’, and this matters to 

James Hardie.”
