New One-Way System announced for Scotland Island Pittwater Council, SIRA and the RTA have announced the immediate implementation of a one-way system for Scotland Island at the special meeting held on Friday evening. Effective as of this morning, all vehicles are to travel in a clockwise (looking down from above) or "widdershins" direction along Richard Road, Robertson Road and the part of Thompson Street that joins the two on the East side. All vehicles travelling from Bell to Tennis must go via Cargo, Tennis to Bell is via Carols. The Southern part of Thompson Street is to be travelled in a generally West - East direction and vehicles may go UP Hilda Avenue and DOWN Cecil Street. The Bush Regeneration group have hailed the announcement saying that this eliminates the need for passing places and will allow for more vegetation to flourish at the roadside. The Rural Fire Service have also welcomed the scheme as it will allow them to get to anywhere on the island in a predictable time frame without having to worry about meeting Jack in his truck hurtling towards them. There was a small objection from Scotland Island Lodge as guests who leave the lodge will have to circumnavigate 95% of the island in order to get to Tennis. Fares for the community vehicle will rise from $14 to $15.25 to compensate for the extra fuel needed to get to, from and back home for a journey. Once the scheme has become established it will be extended to include Florence Terrace where vehicles will be allowed to travel North (i.e. towards Tennis) during odd hours and South (away from Tennis) during even hours. Similar regimes are being devised for the fire trail. A spokesman for the RTA said that the scheme prepares the way for the bridge over from Church Point to where Vivian Street joins Richard Road. Furthermore, it will eliminate the need for 79% of the car park at Church Point which will be turned back over to a picnic and dog exercise park. SIRA is now looking for volunteers to man the roads for a short time to ensure users are circulating correctly.

Council tried to buy the Pasadena waterfront site for the community and
bid up to $2.3 million, but it has been sold to
developers for $2.4 million.General manager Mark Ferguson was at yesterday’s auction and authorised staff to bid up to $2.3 million of ratepayers’ money for the former wedding venue and restaurant, which has been empty and the subject of court cases and development indecision for some years. “The acquisition would have contributed to the overall outcomes contained within the Church Point plan of management and would have provided a community hub for Church Point,” Mr Ferguson said after the auction. Once the council dropped out of the bidding, there was only another $100,000 made in bids at the auction before the hammer fell at $2.4 million, with local developers the new owners. Real estate agent Jack Elsegood, of Domain Residential, said eight parties fought for the prime site, right next to the Church Point wharf and post office. It consisted of 632sqm of land and for decades was a prestigious function centre and waterside restaurant. The sale brings to an end the long-running saga of Giuseppe and Mary Romeo who had owned the site for decades, before being caught by debt and seeing the once-renowned venue taken over by receivers. Several years ago the couple tried to develop the site with three $4 million apartments offered off-the-plan. There were also plans for four shops, a terrace and a 13-car basement. Then they offered it for sale as a development site in July 2010. Last year the couple were ordered to repay more than $3m million to a relative after ``crippling’’ debt had blown out from $5.5 million to $15 million. At the time Supreme Court judge Justice Sackar said Mr Romeo had been ``prepared to say anything that comes into his head which he considers helps his case, however objectively absurd it is’‘. The Romeos had been in disputes with the council and the Land and Environment Court over developing the site. END OF AN ERA 1980s: Pasadena was a popular restaurant and function centre 2009: Romeos decide to develop the site and get approval for three luxury apartments on the site 2010: Family decide to sell the whole site but can’t find a buyer 2011: Supreme Court orders Romeos to repay relative more than $3 million after debts mount up 2012: Receivers take over and site sold at auction to a local developer  Kids Art Workshops WEDNESDAY 11TH APRIL

This year marks the school’s centenary and as part of the calendar of activities, staff and students were hoping to remove the time capsule buried in secret in 1975 by principal Tom Le Sueur. MVPS’ relieving principal Greg Jones said, “As all other avenues have been exhausted, the school is making a final attempt to see if anyone in the community might have information or the latest equipment that might lead us to the time capsule’s location. “It would be a wonderful addition to our centenary year if we could finally solve the mystery.” It is believed the capsule was buried near the school’s front gate or interred in the sandstone ornamental wall at the Waratah Street entrance. Principal Le Sueur organised the time capsule to be buried and staff and students were not privy to the location. The school’s historian and longtime teacher, Bev Lewis, has spoken without success to former staff and parents from the mid 1970s and those involved in the wall’s design and construction. She has also visited the groundsman at the time, Archie Homer, however he wasn’t able to shed any light. Lewis and Year 5 teacher, Melissa Stevenson, have spent a significant amount of time and resources trying to locate the missing capsule and its unknown contents. Stevenson had a builder X-ray the wall while Lewis has tried to locate the capsule with a metal detector, to no avail. Ms Lewis recalls, “I remember the burial in 1975 and feeling bothered that my Year 5 class were not allowed to put anything in the capsule, as it was too small, and also not being allowed to see where it was interred. “Within the community there maybe someone with information or who owns the latest style of metal detector and be an expert in its use,” she added. Celebrations for what is a very significant milestone will go ahead at MVPS with or without the 1975 time capsule. As part of the centenary activities the school’s students are currently working on items for a time capsule that will be dedicated at the April 27 special assembly, one of the events planned to mark the school’s 100th anniversary. This capsule will be removed and opened in 50 years’ time, in 2062. “The school has learnt an important lesson and we will make it more widely known where we are burying the time capsule this time around,” added relieving principal Jones. If you have any information on the location of the 1975 time capsule, please email the centenary committee via mvpscentenary@gmail.com or phone the school office on 02 9999 3481.

With her lifelong friend Ajanthi, also aged 17, the teenagers become part of the Tamil Tiger’s first female contingent, equipped with little more than a rifle and a cyanide capsule. Niromi's group managed to survive on their wits in the jungle, facing not only the perils of war but starvation, illness and growing internal tensions among the militant Tigers. She then recounts how events erupt in a way that she could no longer bear. The book sheds light on how this well-educated, mixed-race, middle-class girl from a respectable family came to be fighting with the Tamil Tigers. Today Niromi lives in suburban Sydney with her husband and two young children. She speaks fluent Tamil and Sinhalese, but writes beautifully in English. For many years she has worked for the Red Cross in Sydney.

Tarrangaua Open House for Palliative Care at Mona Vale Hospital by Susan Duncan Rotary Club of Pittwater Church Point Ferry Service March 24th 2012, Lovett Bay
Susan Duncan and Bob Story have experienced, like so many Australians, losing loved ones through the horrendous ordeals of cancer. Every second year they affirm their commitment to do their bit towards helping others by having an open house to raise funds for worthwhile projects. This year they nominated the Palliative Care center at Mona Vale Hospital as what they would support and the Rotary Club of Pittwater, who have an ongoing project to raise funds for MVH Palliative Care’s ‘The Cottage’ as the volunteers and co-presenters thanks to Dianne Elliott, wife of Rotarian Doug, asking Susan to at a recent book signing.
Tarrangaua, the home they open to visitors, holds a special place in the hearts of many as it is the classic house built by poet Dorothea Mackellar in 1925 as a summer retreat. Mackellar, author of the iconic poem "My Country", became locally famous as an occasional resident, reclusive and eccentric. Situated above the clear green waters of Lovett Bay, its name is no accident. The words "high, rough hill" translate into the Aboriginal language as Tarrangaua, the name given to this home by Dorothea Mackellar. Tarrangaua has recently become famous in Susan Duncan's award-winning memoirs - Salvation Creek (2006) and The House at Salvation Creek (2008) - and her gorgeous pictorial book A Life on Pittwater (2010). To visit this wonderful residence and its beautiful grounds was a little like going for a romp with this Australian poet over soft green lawns beneath tall gum trees in what is Autumn splendour. There is a house on a high, rough hill that overlooks the tawny green waters of Lovett Bay. It is pale yellow, with three chimneys and a red tiled roof spattered with lichen. An elegant verandah, with stately columns and polished wooden floors, stretches from end to end and on a still summer evening it is quite magical to dine there, watching the light fade and the birds fly home. - Susan Duncan, Salvation Creek: An Unexpected Life On the ferry over deckhand Roz pointed out the points, landscapes and homes of more iconic Australians such as Chips Rafferty’s old home, whom Dorothea is said to have visited on occasion, swimming across the bay. Those on board look one way then another as old buildings, old ferries and water courses are described. We disembarked at a blue boatshed and climbed the stone steps to the lawns surrounding Tarrangaua and went looking for Dorothea… Susan and Bob. The current lady of the house was busy in the kitchen. Susan has gained a reputation for excellent food with offshore folk and would brook not one toe over the doorway. Tall, bubbly, with keen eyes behind her glasses, this lady was clearly enjoying speaking with and feeding all who came and willingly autographed books that had been brought and posed for photographs. Her generous spirit is palpable. Husband Bob had thrown open his men’s shed so the great artists from Gone Fishing Gallery could contribute to the day by displaying paintings, prints, photographs and more with a portion of all sales going towards the Palliative Care Centre at Mona Vale Hospital. Bob, like all volunteers on the grounds, was working hard to ensure all who came felt at home and comfortable in the building and grounds. Those we saw seemed quite settled on chairs, benches and the grass, glasses of wine and food in hand.
In a study off behind the kitchen Margaret Molloy, offshore lady for more then four decades, was reading some of Dorothea’s works and giving insights into their creation. Some of Mackeller’s personal possessions could be seen, including Dorothea’s lovely flowing handwriting. At the top of the stairs from the Lovett Bay jetty the magnificent view back across the bay past Rocky Point towards Church Point gave visitors pure Pittwater at its sunshine best. Behind the house rises the unspoilt Ku-ring-gal Chase National Park, a magnificent 154 sq km expanse of wilderness encompassing diverse vegetation, sandstone escarpments and picturesque waterways. First inhabited by the Garigal people, it became a national park in 1894. It would be a waking vision to return to another Tarrangaua Open House and flit with Dorothea across the lawn, dwell under the towering gums and hear her voice, and the wordsmith who breathes there now, murmuring among the brilliant eucalyptus shimmering leaves. This place is special. You feel it as soon as your foot touches its earth. To be able to visit for such a great cause doubles your happiness.
Special thanks are due to the following who all gave their time, selves, services and products to support this great day; Susan Duncan and Bob Story, Rotary Club of Pittwater members, volunteers and supporters, Church Point Ferry Service (Amelia K and L.Duck were running; Penny on shore, Roz and Tim were on ours as deckhand and Ferry Master respectively), HammondCare (Stewart James, CEO), Kennards Hire, Mona Vale, Max Value Pharmacy, Centro Warriewood, MyShuttle Pty Ltd Avalon, (David Cosgrave) Pittwater Council, Pittwater High School, Pittwater YHA, Broken Bay Lighterage (Toby Jay and Dave Shirley) Waterfront Cafe, Church Point, Lisa Atkins, the Gone Fishing Gallery Artists and all the offshore community that gave of their time and themselves with such joyful generosity. Wild mushroom, garlic and beef sausages were from Janet at the Wingham Butchery.

A report prepared by Pittwater Council and the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure has recommended a variety of residential densities across the Warriewood Valley, in addition to some commercial development and land for recreation and open space. The report is based on four independent studies by consultants, commissioned as part of the joint Warriewood Valley Strategic Review, which is being undertaken in a partnership between Council and the department. An independent probity advisor has also been engaged to oversee the strategic review. The four consultant studies on hydrology, urban design, strategic transport and economic feasibility, as well as the strategic review report and interim probity report, are being publicly exhibited from Saturday 24 March to Friday 18 May 2012. From today, the draft review report and supporting documents can be viewed from 20 March on the Council’s website at www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au and the Department’s website at www.planning.nsw.gov.au A community information session is also being held at Pittwater RSL Club on Tuesday 3 April from 6pm, where staff from Council and the department will be available to answer questions and explain the strategic review. The key outcomes of the draft strategic review report include:
Pittwater Mayor Harvey Rose said it was important for the local community to make their views known on the changes proposed by the draft report. “This review is a far-reaching one which will shape future planning for the Valley in the decades to come,” Mayor Rose said. “The key factors for residents to consider are the changes proposed for Boondah Road and the increase in housing density for land that’s currently undeveloped.” The department’s Director-General Sam Haddad also encouraged the community to provide their feedback on the draft strategic review report. “This joint strategic review is the result of significant co-operation between the department and Council, and these investigations have examined a variety of important issues which will help shape future planning for the precinct,” Mr Haddad said. “This strategic review is not a rezoning proposal – rather it identifies the key issues, and proposes increased residential densities in some areas of the Valley. “Public comments will be taken into consideration in finalising the strategic review, and the report may then be used as the basis to inform future planning proposals to rezone land in the precinct or development proposals. Either of these processes would involve a further opportunity for public consultation before any changes could be made to the development controls that apply in the Warriewood Valley.” The public exhibition period for public comments on the strategic review runs from Saturday 24 March to 18 May 2012 at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/onexhibition and www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/warriewoodreview. The documents are also available to view during business hours at:
