Mona Vale Road upgrade
Mona Vale Road, serving the Northern Beaches and northern suburbs of
Sydney, is a corridor of demand within the transport network.
The project
The NSW Government is proposing to upgrade Mona Vale Road from two
lanes to four lanes between Terrey Hills and Mona Vale. The upgrades
are being planned in stages and are aimed at improving safety and
traffic efficiency. The projects include:
Mona Vale Road East upgrade
Upgrade of 3.2 kilometres of Mona Vale Road from two lanes to four
lanes between Manor Road, Ingleside and Foley Street, Mona Vale. The
NSW Government has allocated $140m to complete the project, and Roads
and Maritime has appointed Georgiou Group to construct the road upgrade.
Mona Vale Road West upgrade
Upgrade of 3.4 kilometres of Mona Vale Road from two lanes to four
lanes between McCarrs Creek Road, Terrey Hills and Powder Works Road,
Ingleside. Roads and Maritime has published a Submissions Report to
respond to all feedback received during the display of the Review of
Environmental Factors (REF) and the Species Impact Statement (SIS) in
February and March 2017. The project was assessed by the Office of
Environment and Heritage Project concurrence was received in November
2017. The detailed design will now be completed.

Planning Our Sustainable Future
Our community is passionate about the
Northern Beaches and we want any future development to be in keeping
with our lifestyle, environment, local character and changing community
needs.
We’re taking our four current Local Environmental Plans (LEP’s) and Development
Control Plans (DCP’s) and working with our community and other
stakeholders to create one new planning framework.
This is our opportunity to create a roadmap for managing the way our
area evolves, in a consistent, sustainable and coordinated way, over
the next 20 years and beyond.
Our new LEP, and the Development Control Plan that supports it, must be
consistent with the themes and regional directions set by the Greater
Sydney Commission in the North District Plan, and it must also respond to
what our community told us when we developed our Community Strategic Plan.
We’re starting this process by creating a Local Strategic Planning Statement, called Towards
2040.
This new planning document will outline our future vision, set
priorities, and include actions to achieve the priorities and planning
principles; confirming our commitment to a sustainable future.
Good planning is all about looking ahead and ensuring we have the
housing, infrastructure, services and environment to support our lives
now, and for the future. Our aim is to do this while protecting and
enriching the characteristics that make living here so special.
Palm Beach to have
world-first Urban Night Sky Park to
view the stars
Look up to the heavens tonight and count how many stars
you can see?
One hundred? 50 maybe? perhaps just a dozen or even less?
Our ancestors would have been able to gaze into the darkness and see
thousands of stars twinkling in the night’s sky.

Marnie Ogg is the driving force behind creating the world’s first Urban
Night Sky Park at Palm Beach. Picture: AAP Picture: Jane Dempster
But electricity, and our increasing dependence on it, has thrown a
blanket over one of nature’s most beautiful sights.
All is not lost and one woman has made it her goal to do something
about it — right here on the northern beaches.
Meet Marnie Ogg, from Terrey Hills, who is the driving force behind
creating what will be the world’s first Urban Night Sky Park at Palm
Beach.
As designated by the International Dark-Sky Association, the Urban
Night Sky Parks are chosen for their exceptional clear skies for
stargazing — despite their proximity to major cities.
“Palm Beach is fantastic,” Ms Ogg said. “On a clear night at the Sydney
Observatory you can see 127 stars by the naked eye. At Palm Beach you
would be able to see more than a thousand.
“By getting the status we will hopefully be able to maintain that and
possibly even improve it.”
To gain the status there are four requirements. Lights in the area must
be night sky friendly. There must be a commitment to public outreach
and education with at least four events annually, local government must
be committed to night sky friendly lighting and there must be regular
checks on the lights used in the area.
With Northern Beaches Council recently throwing their support behind
the plan, Palm Beach is expected to formally get the status within the
next two years........

The Co-Op
Club Presents
June 2019
Bookings
Church Point Cafe -
Artists play between 3:30 - 6:30pm
Sun
June 2nd: ARABESK
The Co-Op is very excited to present award winning band ARABESK. These
are four very talented, wordly experienced musicians delivering their
style of European gypsy soul, bringing energetic, intoxicating global
grooves. At any moment it will swing hard, only to drop into a
thick funk pumped bass line, all the while the violin floating above
it. The drums hammer and thunder beats reminiscent of Motown, Blue Note
and Afro Cuban jazz
Their excellent musicianship has seen them perform at festivals all
over the world and Australia as well as winning many songwriting
awards. If you like dancing you will love this band.
Arabesk won best instrumental track at The ASA awards and that year
were invited to perform at Takatsuki Jazz Festival in Osaka, Japan for
the first time. In August 2016 they released their third album ‘Mr Fi’
and have spent the last two years touring and playing festivals in
Australia and Japan including the 2015 & 2018 Takatsuki Jazz
Festival and 2016 Sumida Jazz Festival in Tokyo. Recent
Australian festival highlights include Blue Mountains Music Festival
and Wangaratta Jazz Festival in 2015, Hobart's Clarence Jazz Festival,
Palm Creek Folk Festival Townsville, Manly Jazz Sydney in 2016 and
Parramasala 2018. In 2017 they took 1st & 4th place at the ASA
Awards and were finalists (Honorable Mention) in the prestigious US
songwriting competition ISC.
The music of Arabesk follows many paths at any one time. Like a river
it is fed from many different tributaries to form the whole, drawing
upon strong jazz influences... Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery,
Eastern European Gypsy /
Classical music, upon a backdrop of African and Arabic influenced
rhythms. With a wealth of musical experience it is little wonder
Arabesk are such a powerhouse of invention and innovation.
Band will feature:
Calvin Welch – Drums
James Haselwood - Bass
Rob Shannon - Guitar
Veren Grigorov - Violin

Roll, Soul, R&B & Motown.

continues working today presenting music from the Brit Invasion era as
well as his ever growing original music. Influenced by the blues
music of America and the interpretations of the British beat bands. The
melodies of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr and the sensual
appeal of Jagger, Richards and the Stones.

'ARTIST SEEKING STUDIO TO RENT’
Hello Gemma Rasdall here, (daughter of Island residents Meredith and
Richard Rasdall), I am a young and hardworking full-time artist who
paints seascapes on recycled sailcloth.
Growing up in Pittwater has always been the inspiration for my art
practice and I am feeling a need to bring my studio closer to my
subject matter….So I am currently in the market for a new studio space
in the offshore community!
Do you have a boat shed, garage or large spare room you no longer use?
(ideally with running water and reasonable lighting)
Do you want to make some extra cash?
Hoping to secure at least a 1 year lease for a studio space (for
commercial purposes only, not to live in!).
Please get in touch if you have space available or know someone who
might be interested!
You can view my work here: www.gemmarasdall.com or on instagram @gemmarasdall
