Island Community Cafe It’s looking good for the cafe this weekend! Sunshine predicted for Sunday, though the breeze may be a little fresh, so rug up. For the hardy amongst you, the tide will be high at 8:50, just right for a nice bracing swim, followed by a hot cup of coffee. For the less hardy, cakes on offer will include a double chocolate babka. And this week, there will also be toast - white, wholemeal or raisin, with butter and jam or marmalade. We will be open 10 until 12, at the kindy, same as usual. Put a reminder in your phone now. We’re always looking for volunteers to make a cake. Call 0404 867 768 to coordinate, or just bring your cake along on the day. Last week’s cafe was great, with a big group clustered around the tables chatting, doing their bit to sustain our unique offshore community. Come along and meet someone new, or just say Hi to all the regulars. See you there!

Kids welcome - $7 dinners Bike Lockers At Church Point I am investigating the possibility of getting a bicycle locker installed at Church Point. The State Government has a scheme where they will install a locker and users can hire a spot for approximately $50 for three months. I would like to get an idea of how many island residents would be interested in hiring a lockers so I can put a proposal together and submit it to the minister of transport. Please could you resister you interest by email me at lyn@savagebee.com.au Think of a secure bicycle locker as your own priority parking. Even better, your locker helps protect your bike, helmet and clothing from theft and vandalism. Something desperately lacking from the Church Point area.

Concerns Mount over Development Proposal Avalon Preservation Trust Takes a Stand Have you done anything yet to oppose this outrageous proposal to overdevelop the Warriewood Valley? You will have read about it in the Manly Daily and be aware it is a huge development taken out of the hands of Pittwater Council and completely inconsistent with orderly planning principles. The Avalon Preservation Association believes it has potential for serious environmental damage in Warriewood and the wider Pittwater area if this development goes ahead, setting a precedent for similar projects. What you can do: 1. Click on this link. Although the Avalon Preservation Association is apolitical we recommend you attend this public meeting organised by The Greens for this coming Saturday June 12 http://www.nbg.nsw.greens.org.au/Greens_Organise_Action_on_Warriewood_High_Rise Public Meeting Mona Vale Memorial Hall Saturday 12 June 2010, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm The Northern Beaches Greens has organised a public meeting to oppose the over-development of land adjoining the Warriewood Wetlands. In the planning application, the description includes: "16 residential apartment buildings of 3 and 5 storeys in height providing a total of 600 units with associated landscaping, a gymnasium and swimming pools, and internal road network of public and private roads; ... " The Greens oppose the development for, at least, the following reasons: * Existing infrastructure (sewerage, roads, drainage etc) is inadequate * The scale of the development is inappropriate for the site * The development threatens the adjacent Warriewood Wetlands * The site is flood-prone and will be threatened by sea level rise * The site is too close to the Warriewood Sewage Treatment Plant Visitors will be able to sign a petition, and will be invited to send letters of objection to the appropriate planning authorities. Speakers will include:
