Pittwater Council has given the thumbs-up to a new ‘twilight market’ at Mona Vale’s Village Park. The Council voted at its meeting this week to approve a market to be held once a month during February, March, April, September, October and December each year. Each market would trade between 5pm and 9pm on a Friday evening. Mayor Harvey Rose said the new market would begin in February next year. “We anticipate that as with the Palm Beach Market, up to 100 stall-holders will take part,” he said. Mayor Rose said that the twilight market would offer food, drinks and entertainment, with the Inch café at Park Street also participating. “While the markets are on we will lift the current alcohol-free restrictions in Village Park to allow people to have a drink with dinner while they enjoy the live entertainment and market atmosphere,” he said. Mayor Rose said the Council was supporting the event as part of its pledge to increase family-friendly entertainment options and business activity in Mona Vale. “The local business community are also in favour of the markets because they have observed how they can generate visitors and trade for local businesses as well as stall-holders,” he said. For more details about the twilight markets and becoming a stall-holder, contact Nikki Griffith on 9970 1355.

The Scotland Island Residents Association (SIRA) and Sydney Water were consulted for some months before the plan was prepared. The report examines the feasibility and preliminary costing for construction of sealed roads and drainage across the island. Currently around 1000 residents live all-year-round on Scotland Island. Transport is largely confined to small boats to and from the mainland and there are only a few privately owned vehicles on the island. The island’s inhabitants depend on septic tanks for their sewage disposal. The three-part plan – the Scotland Island Road Reserve Management Strategy, the Scotland Island Stormwater Management Strategy and the Scotland Island Road Reserve and Drainage Implementation Plan - is on exhibition for comment between 4 December and 4 March 2011. Deputy Mayor Jacqueline Townsend said the Council would spend some months discussing the island’s future infrastructure needs with offshore residents. However, she cautioned that major work on drainage and roads may be hamstrung by a lack of funding. “Since the federal government’s stimulus package ended, there has been no major grant funding programs made available for infrastructure, so the Council may need to look elsewhere to find the funding" she said. Cr Townsend added that Sydney Water have also extended their timeframe for construction of a sewer network on the island by another 10 years to 2020. “A sewer system was originally promised this year," Cr Townsend said. The plans can be viewed at the Council’s customer service centres at Avalon and Mona Vale or at www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au Media contact: 3 December 2010 James Payne, Pittwater Council Ph: 9970 1188 You can download all 8 of the reports here....

On 19th October 2010 I received a parking fine of $430, for parking in the newly relocated parking zone for disabled people at Church Point parking area. I requested consideration to the RTA and received a notification of rejection from the Office of State Revenue. My application was on the basis of changes being recently made to the parking area, and that I arrived late at night when it was very difficult to see the new signs. Has any one of you had the same problem? I might need to take this matter to court; so, does anyone know exactly when the changes were made to the signs for the disabled parking areas? Does anyone know any other way I might go about trying to annul this unjustifiable fine? Hope to hear from someone, on 99994885, or weasonaus@hotmail.com.
