Scotland Island Cafe

Kindy Cafe, Sunday 2nd August at the Kindy

Yes, Kindy Cafe is on again at the Kindy from 10am, Sunday 2 August....... and again on the first Sunday of each month from 10am.

It would be great if you could come along for a coffee, great if you could spread the word, and even greater if you'd like to bring a cake, or something, or help on the day! :-)

Funds raised will go to the Scotland Island Kindy. The play areas at kindy will be open for all to enjoy during the cafe. Take the opportunity to let the kids play while you relax with a cuppa & cake and while you're there, even check out all our wonderful kindy has to offer!

Please let Ian know if you plan to bring something and/or help so we have an idea of how things are looking for the day. Thanks!

Hope to see you there.

Special thanks to Sophie Maple for preparing our wonderful flyers!

Notice

SCOTLAND ISLAND COMMUNITY VEHICLE – CHANGES TO MANAGEMENT

Soon you will be seeing a brand new Community Vehicle and notice some changes in the signage – but the service (and type of vehicle) will remain the same.

Since inception, the Community Vehicle service has been managed by SIRA. This was made possible by grant funding from the NSW Government through Transport for NSW and support from Pittwater Council who purchased the vehicle and leased to SIRA funded through the grant.

Due to changes in funding regulations, SIRA is no longer able to manage the new contract obligations directly and has partnered with a large community transport organisation - Easy Transport Manly Warringah Pittwater (ETMWP) in order to keep the service operating into the future.

ETMWP will manage the funding and compliance and Pittwater Council will source and service the vehicle with SIRA co-ordinating operations and the Island drivers still providing the service.

For customers, the service, charges and contacts are unchanged.

SIRA is grateful to ETMWP for stepping in and working closely with the SIRA Committee, Pittwater Council and Transport for NSW to ensure this valuable service to the Island community can continue. Information on other ETMWP services on the mainland will be available in the vehicle.

Scotland Island Rural Fire Brigade

Before you light that fire...
...a guide for residents burning vegetation.

At this time of year many residents think about burning off excess vegetation which might become a fire hazard in summer. This kind of planning should be applauded, but there are some rules that need to be followed to ensure that burns are conducted safely and comply with government and fire regulations.

What kind of approval do you need? tree

The first step is to determine the reason for the burn. If the burn is to reduce bush fire hazards you can get a Bush Fire Hazard Reduction Certificate free of charge from the Rural Fire Service. You should contact the Waringah Pittwater Fire Control Centre on 02 9450 3000. If your planned burn is for some other purpose you should contact Pittwater council for advice about what approval you require. You can access the application form for an RFS Hazard Reduction Certificate and other useful information here

Do you need a Fire Permit?
If your burn is planned during the Bushfire Danger Period, which usually runs from 1 October to 31 March each year, or your burn poses a danger to a building, you will also need a Fire Permit. The aim of a Fire Permit is to ensure your burn is conducted safely. It may impose specific conditions on the way the burn is managed. Fire Permits for burns on Scotland Island are issued by qualified Officers of the Scotland Island RFS. You can request a Fire Permit by contacting Waringah Pittwater Fire Control Centre on 02 9450 3000 or the Scotland Island RFS on 02 9999 4404. Please provide a reasonable amount of time for an RFS Officer to complete an inspection prior to the date of your planned burn.

Who do you need to notify?
At least 24 hours before you commence your burn you must notify the Waringah Pittwater Fire Control Centre on 02 9450 3000 of your intention to burn. You must also notify your neighbours at least 24 hours before you start your burn.

What happens on Total Fire Ban days?
On the day you plan to start your burn check the weather conditions and forecast. If there is a Total Fire Ban you cannot start your burn – even if you have a Fire Permit. On Total Fire Ban days all Fire Permits are automatically suspended.

For further information please refer to the Rural Fire Service web site www.rfs.nsw.gov.au or contact Scotland Island RFS on 02 9999 4404.

Save the date – Sunday September 13 – Rural Fire Service Open Day

The Rural Fire Service Open Day is a key step in preparing the island and its residents for the upcoming fire season.

This year we are hosting a fire shed dinner on Saturday September 12 and we will then be opening the fire shed from 10am on Sunday September 13.
fire

There will be plenty of things to do – fun things for the kids including learning the basics of fire- fighting and using a fire hose.

Adults can practice using fire extinguishers, explore the fire dangers in typical island homes, test different types of smoke alarms and prepare a bushfire survival plan.

If you have been thinking about joining the Brigade it will also be a great opportunity to talk to members of both the Community Fire Unit and the regular brigade.

The BBQ will be running from 10am so come on down and have morning tea or lunch with us.

Pittwater students take Hollywood by 'storm

Pittwater students take Hollywood by 'storm'Pittwater Council’s Coastal Environment Centre has been working closely with local schools to engage and educate them on stormwater education.

The project ‘Nothing but Rain down the Drain’ was carried out during term two and involved students attending a number of workshops about stormwater pollution.

Natural Environment & Education Manager Mark Beharrell said the program involved almost 240 students from Maria Regina Catholic School, Elanora Heights Public School and Narrabeen Lakes Public School, which all participate in the Peninsula Community of Schools Program.

“The goal of the education program was to engage and give students a thorough understanding of stormwater issues,” Mr Beharrell said.

“Some of the students were then invited to create a two-minute eco movie on the topic that Council could then use to help educate the broader community.

“We hope the eco-movies will lead to increased awareness of what goes into our drainage system and reduce pollution,” added Mr Beharrell

The education component involved Council staff running a series of stormwater incursions at the participating schools, looking at how water moves through our catchment and what it takes with it.

Students were then taken to their local waterway where they conducted both chemical and biological investigations, preparing students with the facts they needed to complete their eco movies.

Mr Beharrell praised all students participating in the stormwater investigations and the movie-making workshops; and especially recognised the contributions of those who were intricately involved in making the productions—from script writing to storyboard creation to starring in the production.

“The mini eco-film project was a great success and the videos created are outstanding,” Mr Beharrell said.

The three videos can be viewed online at Council’s YouTube channel www.youtube.com/user/Pittwatercouncil.

The unique project was an initiative of Pittwater Council staff who felt the films were an engaging way to educate our youth and broader community. Each of the films was produced by Pittwater Council in conjunction with local production company Contently.

The project was funded by the NSW Government Greater Sydney Local Lands Services and supported of the Peninsula Community of Schools.

Mr Beharrell reminds residents that everyone can play a part in preventing harmful substances entering the drains.

Offshore Small Business Fair

We have some fabulous people on the island running small businesses, from chocolate making to computer repairs and programers, literary editors, counsellors, graphic designers, music teachers, remedial masseurs... you name it, and yet little is often known about them as professionals.

To be held in the Community Hall and park simultaneously with Kindy Cafe morning on the 6th September.

Those interested in 'strutting their stuff', will set up their card table with flyers, to meet and greet islanders, many of whom will be surprised to know that the friendly face down on the wharf, is just the person they need to help them.

There would be no charge and only Only Offshore residents would be invited to attend, so that it doesn't become a mainland business commercial venture.

Please email your expression of interest to Juliet ... iam@julietholmesacourt.com

This little Fair will benefit the Kindy Cafe, whilst helping build our wonderful community.
