The SIRA Committee received a letter from Mark Ferguson, General
Manager, Pittwater Council dated 16 February outlining a plan to
introduce a dedicated Wharf Ranger.
This Ranger will cover the entire Church Point Precinct (extending from
Rostrevor Reserve to Thomas Stephens Reserve, Church Point carpark and
associated foreshores) and other wharves and boat tie-up facilities
across Pittwater in order to tackle the many compliance issues.
This initiative is in response to a number of complaints received from
Offshore community members about the lack of compliance enforcement.
From Monday 23 February 2015 there will be a full time Ranger on duty
on a 12 month trial basis. The first month will be an education
exercise, after which infringement notices will be issued.
SIRA has been advised that this is being funded from the existing
Ranger budget and using existing staff resource and no funding is being
taken away from the Church Point carpark fund.

We encourage residents to join the discussion on the
Scotland Island Community Website, or on Facebook.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Roadworks on Richard Road Update
This week Council will start major works on Richard Road where the
“sink hole” appeared in the culvert located above 37 Richard Road
between Cecil Street and up the hill towards Carols.
The restoration will take a couple of weeks.
A walking track for pedestrians will be available, however, there may
be times when the road will need to be closed completely. Please
be prepared to use another route for access at these times.
There will be no vehicular access during the duration of works. Please
use Cecil Street and Thompson Street to access Harold Avenue.

$1.4 million in boating facilities improvements
20 Feb 2015
Pittwater’s
waterside recreational facilities are about to get a boost, thanks to a
$1.4 million injection from the State Government.
The funding for boating infrastructure, announced earlier today at the
official Palm Beach Wharf opening, will see major improvements to
Church Point commuter wharf; Rowland Reserve’s boating launch
facilities, Paradise Beach Clareville dinghy storage and Bayview Wharf.
Pittwater Mayor, Jacqui Townsend said that Council is very pleased that
the State Government has responded to its advocacy for better waterside
facilities.
“It’s great to be partnering with the State Government in delivering
better facilities that will benefit the many recreational users that
both live in and visit the area,” Cr Townsend said.
“Our boating facilities are integral to the lifestyle in Pittwater with
many residents relying on them on a daily basis,’ she said.
“We look forward to working with both the State Government and the
locals to make these projects happen.
“Wear and tear and the changing needs of our growing community all come
at a high cost, and I’m thrilled that we can share the financial burden
to upkeep these facilities with the state, avoiding Council having to
pass on all the cost to our community through its rates,” she added.

Ticks...
Catalyst on the ABC had an interesting documentary on Ticks
DOCUMENTARY
Mammalian meat allergy is on the rise in Australia and the surprising
cause is a tick bite. Dr Jonica Newby meets Dr Sheryl van Nunen, the
clinician who discovered the link.
The document which was filmed here on the offshore has some excellent
advice
on how to get them off without spreading toxins into bloodstream.
