Scotland Island Water and Wastewater Feasibility
Study
Council is seeking feedback on the study. Comments close on Wednesday the 28th of October.
Now that the feasibility study has been completed, it has to go to the NSW government from Northern Beaches Council. SIRA will be working with Northern Beaches Council, Rob Stokes and Jason Falinski, our local State and Federal reps, who all support that this work needs to be carried out.
The new study shows that the work would be a lot less than Sydney Water estimated previously In their submission to IPART for their current licence.
Rest assured that the Scotland Island working group along with SIRA will lobby IPART and the NSW government very strongly in the next few months so that the feasibility study be accepted and planning work started for implementation.
The working group has not yet seen the final study but once we have received it we will be able to give you more information.

Delay in public exhibition
I expect it to go live early next week. In the meantime you can look over the document we provided you, which sums up the overall case for investment.
I will also be attending the island to put up signs at each wharf on the day it goes live, so that will be another sign that the full set of reports is available and the submission period is open.
Thanks for your patience.

Joe Romeo
Condolences and congratulations for a life supremely well lived.
Carissima Mary,Joe is, with you, the foundation stone of Church Point life. A force that has shaped the way we, residents of the water access-only areas of Pittwater, have lived our lives for at least two generations: what we drank and ate, how we met at a convivial table -Southern Italian/Australian for the simplicity in decor, in eating, and for tranquil exuberance, inventiveness, mateyiness.
Arriving late at Church Point for the Ferry or Water Taxi was a lucky opportunity for the cappuccino at the Romeo’s and, of course, a chat about anything: flowers and plants, issues of the day, always accompanied by an offer on the side of Joe’s or you, dear Mary: the art of giving personified and not only from a shelf, but of oneself: family stories in two continents, over 2 or 3 centuries, good life in Australia and the deep love for it.
Now Joe is still living, strong as ever, but in our memories and our affection.
Please accept our condolences and congratulations for a life supremely well lived, that continues through you and your splendid offspring.

Sunday 4th October: Look out!.... BRAD JOHNS and THE CROWD PLEASERS
BRAD JOHNS and THE CROWD PLEASERS brings a very special album project to the Co-Op. Brad has been wowing audiences across Australia with his unique musical style for many years. He is a guitar virtuoso and dynamic vocalist and recently has put this powerhouse band of his favorite musicians together to bring to you THE ULTIMATE repertoire including a raft of his new original material as well as much of his specially arranged crowd pleasing tunes.
Brad has played with Tommy Emmanuel, Ian Moss (Cold Chisel), James Blundell, Lee Keraghan and Troy Cassar-Daley… believe me there is nothing this man can’t play and sing well.
He brings the talented Tony Boyd on drums (Kate Lush, Simon Kinney-Lewis, Eric Steckel (U.S.) Mal Eastick.), Christian Young on Bass (Jack Jones (Southern Sons) James Morrison, Steve Balbi (Noiseworks) & members of Frank Zappa’s band.) as well as Phil Grove on Keyboard (The O’Sheas, The Hippos, The Cockroaches, The Wiggles.)
Sunday 11th October: The Co-Op Club are proud to present ROSHANI
From dirt poor beginnings in Sri Lanka to explosive multi instrumental one-woman powerhouse, the music of ROSHANI is as captivating and uplifting as her life story.
Her father the village drummer, her mother the singer, impoverished and with no hope, had to give ROSHANI up for adoption. At 6 weeks old fate led her to the other side of the world, to a musical family living in regional NSW. ROSHANI’s music defies pigeonhole, timelessly crossing genre. Using loop pedals to lay down guitar, harmonica, keys, percussion and a voice that gives you goosebumps. ROSHANI developed her one-woman show while living in her van, busking on the streets and travelling wherever the wind took her. In 2015, ROSHANI reunited with her Sri Lankan family after 28 years apart. 60 minutes Australia followed her with camera crew and her story has had millions of views. Her mission in this life is to inspire and uplift the world with song and story.
“ROSHANI may be originally from Sri Lanka, now she calls Sydney home. .... and in my humble opinion. Is READY.......FOR THE WORLD . I LOVE YOUR TALENT, YOUR MUSIC, YOUR VIBE.” - Peter Noble, Festival Director Bluesfest Byron Bay “ A deep, dark soulful songwriter with a voice to match” - James Blunt
