Eurobodalla Council are improving beach access for people with reduced mobility at Eurobodalla’s patrolled beaches and Narooma South Bar netted area. Timeframe: November 2022 to November 2023 Cost and funding: $495,000 from NSW Government’s Regional Tourism Activation Fund Council are working to install on-beach 'mobility mats' at seven patrolled beaches across Eurobodalla: Surf Beach Malua Bay Beach South Broulee Beach Moruya South Head Beach Tuross Head Main Beach (Clive Court access) Dalmeny Beach Narooma Surf Beach construct hard-surface lead-in paths at various beach locations extend the ramp at Narooma South Bar Beach for disability access to sand level learn from users experiences during the first summer to continue improvements for people with reduced mobility. Benefits to the community: Improved beach access for people with disabilities, the elderly and users of mobility scooters, wheelchairs, strollers, and trolleys. The option to use the mats at seven different beaches across the shire. Encouraging visitation at patrolled beaches means improved beachgoer safety and user access to other facilities like toilets and beach wheelchairs. The mats and lead-in paths are made from recycled materials, reducing the environmental impact. Background and purpose Eurobodalla’s beaches are a key attraction for residents and visitors to the area. Council recognises the requests received from the community on the importance of providing beach access for everyone and is partnering with Accessible Beaches Australia to deliver this project. As the shire consists of 83 beaches, prioritisation for the accessibility upgrades were given to seven of the eight patrolled beaches to maximise user safety. Improvements to the existing ramp at Narooma's Bar Beach are also included in this project, as the netted area is calm and suitable for swimming. The new heavy duty roll-up mobility mats will be linked to hard surface lead-in paths, with several new lead-in paths being constructed for this purpose. The mats will be deployed by lifeguards during the peak summer patrol period and packed up ahead of storms or large seas to avoid any damage. Photo: ESC While the access upgrades will improve opportunities for people of all abilities to access the beach, due to natural land formations access points may not comply with Australian Standards for wheelchair ramp gradients. This means some users may still require assistance when accessing the beach. These access upgrades are early steps in a longer journey to improve visitor experience at our beaches. Council understands some of the locations are not yet fully accessibility compliant in terms of parking, toilets, or other facilities.

Photo credit: Keith Saunders Following a successful 2022 tour with The Muffat Collective, Music in the Regions will return to NSW’s South Coast, featuring the energetic Arcadia Winds. A wind quintet, made up of bassoon, horn, clarinet, oboe, and flute, Arcadia Winds’ arrangements give new life to familiar works, while also incorporating the work of contemporary Australian composer Harry Sdraulig. Pictures in Arcadia will take audiences on a sensory journey across the globe, showcasing the ensemble’s craft as storytellers, vibrant musicians, and strong advocates for new Australian music. With a program that will inspire striking imagery, display innovative arrangements, and capture Arcadia Winds’ high octane performance ability, this tour will make its way through Moruya, as part of the River of Art festival, Wolumla, Tanja, Braidwood, and Nowra. Music in the Regions General Manager and Producer, Ian Whitney said: “I have a real soft spot for wind quintet, and the huge range of colour and texture composers can find in this group of very different instruments. Australia is very lucky to have an ensemble like Arcadia Winds who have built their career in exploring and commissioning this repertoire, and I’m very excited to tour them along the south coast.” LLoyd Van’t Hoff of Arcadia Winds said: “Regional touring is an important part of what we do at Arcadia Winds. Central to this is the drive to ensure our music and our wind instruments are heard by as many people as possible. We have an exciting selection of works that we will be taking on tour, consisting of new pieces for wind quintet and some truly sublime arrangements of classic repertoire. We hope that you may be able to experience music and the instruments of the wind quintet in a new light and we are excited to be sharing this with audiences in what is one of our favourite regions in the entire world!” Forming in 2013, Arcadia Winds received a fellowship through the National Academy of Music, before going on to be Musica Viva Australia’s inaugural FutureMakers from 2015-17. Now in their tenth year, Arcadia Winds is passionate about commissioning new Australian works for wind instruments, founding the Arcadia Winds Composition Prize in 2018, and are seen as ambassadors for new Australian music worldwide.

It’s a first-time feat for Eurobodalla Council crews who created and stacked 400 sandbags to protect the shoreline at Long Beach. A geotextile sandbag structure has been installed to protect the shoreline and Bay Road against potential collapse. Project engineer George Workman said the sandbags are a medium-term fix until a more permanent solution occurs. “We are exploring long-term options for a low-lying revetment structure that is resilient, environmentally compliant and suits the needs of the local community,” Mr Workman said. “We’ll ask for input from the community on the design of the permanent solution by early next year.” Since July 2022, the plan for Long Beach involved short-term sandbags and beach nourishment work to mitigate erosion which was part of the Eurobodalla Open Coast Coastal Management Program. “Last year, high seas washed away sand right up to the road and around the base of large Norfolk Island pines, exposing the trees’ roots,” Mr Workman said. “We got to work securing the necessary approvals to begin beach nourishment to replenish eroded areas.” Mr Workman said wrangling two-tonne sandbags was no small feat. “Stitching, lifting and positioning each bag took creativity, skill, and a lot of patience,” he said. “It was no easy task, but our guys persevered and arranged the sandbags in tiers following advice from the coastal engineer.” Mr Workman said the closest tier of bags to the sea were dubbed the “sacrificial bags” and were ready to take the brunt of the waves’ impact. “When high seas and large swells pound the beach, the bags may shuffle a bit and it’s likely sand will move onto and around them,” Mr Workman said. “As always, it will be a constantly changing beachscape, just without so much destruction.” For more details on the project visit Council’s website.

Representatives from dozens of community groups along the NSW coast campaigned at NSW Parliament House today, rising to defend small coastal towns and pockets of sensitive and endangered coastal bushland from what they claim as inappropriate development. The alliance, Coastal Residents United, also presented petitions gathered from community groups Dalmeny Matters, Friends of Coila, Voices of South West Rocks, Hallidays Point Community Action Group and Save Myall Bushland Incorporated, all containing over 600 signatures, calling for a moratorium on developments that these groups are fighting. Dalmeny Matters is fighting Council's sale of land at Dalmeny that would require full compliance with all current NSW development conditions while the already approved Coila Foreshore development has little hope of being stopped unless legistation changes which would involve considerable compensation being paid to the developer. Both petitions were tabled in the Upper House today. Greens MP Cate Faehrmann, who released the report Concreting Our Coast: The developer onslaught destroying our coastal villages and environment last year following a coastal fact-finding tour, said: “Last year, dozens of communities fighting large, inappropriate developments in their small towns contacted me crying out for help. What I found was an onslaught of development planned that would destroy coastal NSW as we all know, and love it”, said Ms Faehrmann. “Many of the opposed developments are so-called ‘zombie’ developments. Approved decades ago, they’ve avoided any of the environmental, cultural and other impact assessments that would be required today. Many are planned for areas prone to floods and fires with just one road in or out in an emergency and in towns that already do not have access to critical services and infrastructure. “Combined, these campaigns add up to potentially thousands of hectares of bushland lost along our precious coast. Much of it is habitat for threatened species on the brink of extinction that cannot withstand any further loss of habitat. “I’m proud to stand with community representatives today to launch Coastal Residents United - a powerful alliance of groups sharing information, resources and strategies to ensure developers cannot get away with destroying our precious coastal environment,” said Ms Faehrmann. Greens MP and planning and environment spokesperson Sue Higginson said: “Our planning system is not fit for purpose and it is putting developers profits above local communities, their safety and our fragile coastal environments. Communities up and down the coast of NSW are fighting inappropriate developments as the impacts of the climate and biodiversity crises worsen. The planning system is not working and developers are taking advantage of it,” said Sue Higginson. “The petitions tabled in the NSW Parliament today are just some of the many communities on the frontline of a broken planning system who are taking on property developers in the name of protecting the environment and keeping communities safe. “For too long the planning system has been controlled and influenced by private developers and their profits. Local communities need to be at the centre of decisions that affect them and their local environments and they need a system that protects our natural environment and addresses the worsening impacts of fires, floods and climate change. “It is brilliant that the community groups who are part of Coastal Residents United have mobilised and are working collaboratively for change and have brought this important issue to Parliament.” Ms Higginson said. Whilst this is a commendable statement from the Greens MP and planning and environment spokesperson to turn the "Zombie" developments around would require her to put forward a motion that would be hard pressed to win given the developments have been approved and any compensation would be considerable. It's quite clear that unless current legislation is changed then future Zombies will come to life. When asked by ABC South East Radio how many zombie developments remained in Eurobodalla his response was that he did not know.

Residents in the Bega Valley are being asked to keep an eye out for the invasive weed known as frogbit after it was found for sale online locally. Frogbit, or Amazon frogbit (Limnobium laevigatum) is a floating water weed native to Central America. It has small, round glossy leaves and grows very quickly, forming dense mats over water bodies that potentially clog waterways and kill native fish and plants. While it is popular to use in fish tanks and ponds, it is a prohibited weed in NSW and must not be sold, traded or be in your possession. Unfortunately, this weed is not illegal to sell within Victoria and can easily be found online and potentially brought into NSW for use in aquariums and ponds. If you suspect frogbit is in your yard or our waterways or for sale at a market, shop or online, please call the NSW DPI Biosecurity Helpline 1800 680 244 or Council’s Biosecurity Department on (02) 6499,2222, which can assist in identification and eradication. To find out more about frogbit or to report a sighting, please visit https://weeds.dpi.nsw.gov.au/
