Planning Proposal for 2199 Pittwater Road, Church Point (Quarter Sessions) Council has received a draft Planning Proposal relevant to two properties known as 2199 Pittwater Road, Church Point (Lots 15 and 15A of DP 10583). Full details available HERE at Pittwater Council website. The draft Planning Proposal intends to amend the Pittwater Local Environmental Plan (LEP) by rezoning the lots from 6(a) (Existing Recreation “A”) to 2(a) (Residential “A”). The draft Planning Proposal also seeks to reclassify the subject lots from ‘Community’ to ‘Operational’ under the Local Government Act 1993. As the subject properties are owned by Pittwater Council, urban planning consultants, MB Town Planning, have been appointed to independently assess the draft Planning Proposal. Submissions should be in writing and addressed to the General Manager by 5:00pm, Friday 2 May 2014 to: Mail - Pittwater Council, PO Box 882, Mona Vale, NSW 1660 Email - pittwater_council@pittwater.nsw.gov.au Online - Submission Form Fax – (02) 9970 1200 Fun For All At The Food & Wine Fair The Pittwater Food & Wine Fair will take place at Winnererremy Bay Reserve in Mona Vale on Sunday 4 May between 10am and 4pm.

Event Manager, Nikki Griffith said cooking demonstrations will start from 11am with Jane Grover, then Brian Lizotte and Rebecca Jones from the Sustain Me team, who’ll show you how to love your leftovers! Mayor Jacqui Townsend praised the format of the event, saying it not only profiled local companies and suppliers, but promoted local volunteer organisations and sustainable living. “Sustainability Lane offers the popular native plant giveaway for Pittwater residents, eco-living stalls, a exhibit by the Coastal Environment Centre and a native animal display,” added Cr Townsend. “Pittwater Council’s Compliance staff will be available at Sustainability Lane, ready to answer all building queries or questions about your pool or spa fence. Cr Townsend said the Food & Wine Fair, which attracted over 7000 people last year, had grown to include the Volunteer Expo. “We have over 20 volunteer organisations who’ll be exhibiting at the fair. Even if you only have a spare couple of hours, there is something for everyone to get involved in,” said Cr Townsend. Live music from the 2 Shots Classic Rock Band and Desert Sea will play throughout the day and a range of kids entertainment will be available, including bungee tramp, climbing wall, rides and face painting. The winners of the Fair’s online competition will be drawn at 2pm. Entries will need to be placed in the barrel located in the marquee near the children’s playground prior to the draw. Winnererremy Bay Reserve is located at Mona Street, Mona Vale. Free bike racks will be available at the reserve.

MONDAY 19 May, 2.30pm Bookings essential 9970 1600 Tai Chi and Qi Gong Classes on Scotland Island Tai Chi and Qi Gong are based on understandings from Chinese traditions of well being, fitness and the subtle interplay of human energy that contributes to health. Sets of movements are performed slowly combined with awareness on our breathing. These movements encourage relaxation by turning off the mind. Relaxation allows the emotions, thoughts and physical body to rest and be quiet. At the same time Tai Chi and Qi Gong movements improve balance, flexibility, strength and fitness. Heart function, digestion, the immune system and feelings of well being are strengthened by Tai Chi and Qi Gong. You will be welcomed! No experience is needed and Tai Chi is useful for everyone. Classes are in the Scotland Island Community Hall on Fridays 10-11 am. Autumn term commences 16 May. Please phone Chris for information and bookings. 0416221040 Pittwater YHA Bush Regeneration
