Wamboin Community Christmas Carols

The annual Christmas carols sing along at the Wamboin Community Hall, commencing at 7.00 pm, with an appearance by the jolly gentleman in red himself! The 'formal proceedings' will be followed, as is the tradition, with a sausage sizzle for all the family. All welcome, young and old, with proceeds to the Salvation Army.

As is also the tradition, there will be a Giving Tree, for Christmas gifts and non-perishable food also to be distributed by the Salvation Army. Cuddly toys are nice, but spare a thought also for those who are often overlooked: mums and adolescents. The most convenient presentation is a Christmas bag, rather than wrapping paper, as all gifts have to be checked before passing them on.

Everyone is invited to come along and:

Join in the singing of Christmas Carols (both traditional and modern), ably led by our local musicians
Listen and watch our local children perform on this special occasion
Experience the Christmas Story, as presented by the children of Wamboin
Give generously to the Giving Tree, for distribution by the Salvos
Say Hi to Santa when he arrives on his special transport, a Fire Truck
Enjoy the traditional free sausage sizzle (There will be a donation box with all proceeds going to the Salvos)
Soothe your tired vocal chords with a cold drink

WCA 2022 Annual General Meeting

The main business of the AGM will be the election of a new Committee for 2022-23.

Nominations for the election of Committee members should be made in writing, signed by two Association members, and contain the candidates written consent.

Nomination forms can be obtained from the Secretary or downloaded by clicking here.

The Committee is keen to have some new members, so please consider nominating as an office-bearer or as an ordinary Committee member. You are welcome to contact me or the President, Peter Evans president@wamboincommunity.asn.au , to discuss what Committee membership entails. The WCA and the events it has promoted have been well managed for many years, and the Committee would benefit greatly from some new members to help maintain this momentum.

Should any member have any business to be dealt with at the AGM, please advise the Secretary more than 14 days before the meeting, or more than 21 days before if it requires a special resolution.

Agenda: Opening; Acknowledgement of Country; Welcome to new members and visitors; Apologies for non-attendance; Adoption of the minutes of the previous AGM; Presentation and adoption of the President’s, Treasurer’s and other reports; Election of the office-bearers of the Association (the president, one or two vice-presidents, the treasurer & the secretary) and at least three other committee members; other matters for which notice has been given; Close of meeting.

David McDonald, Hon. Secretary, WCA, email secretary@wamboincommunity.asn.au, tel: 0416 231 890 or 02 6238 3706.

The April AGM will be followed by both a Special General Meeting and the April General Meeting.

It is proposed that the business of the Special General Meeting will be to consider, and vote upon, amendments to the WCA’s constitution.

The provisions of the Constitution that are proposed to be amended currently read as follows:

16. Election of committee members

...

(7) A person nominated as a candidate for election as an office-bearer, other than the president or vice–president, or as another committee member must have been a member of the Association for at least one year.

(8) A person nominated as a candidate for election as president or vice-president of the Association should have been a member of the Association for at least two years, which should include one year as an office bearer or as another committee member.

Proposal

To amend the text of these two paragraphs so as to read:

(7) A person nominated as a candidate for election as an office-bearer, other than the president or vice–president, or as another committee member, must be a member of the Association.

(8) A person nominated as a candidate for election as president or vice-president of the Association, must have been a member of the Association for at least two years.

Justification statement

The WCA Committee is of the view that, although the restrictions on eligibility for membership of the Committee were useful when they were incorporated into the Constitution over a decade ago, they are now an impediment to the good governance of the WCA. The Committee is keen to see new members nominating for membership of the Committee, including for the office bearer positions, and feels that the current restrictions on nominating need to be reduced. It is expected that doing so will facilitate recruitment to the Committee and office bearer positions.

Wheels of Wamboin

The Wheels of Wamboin is on again!

The 2019 Wheels of Wamboin will be held on Saturday May 18th – from 9.00am to 1.00pm. The event will be held at the Wamboin Community Hall, Bingley Way Wamboin (off Norton Road via Sutton Road) as per previous years.

Last year over 175 cars, motorbikes and a truck or two made the run to Wamboin. The beauty of the Wheels of Wamboin is the huge variety from all marques in a truly country atmosphere. All sorts of automotive machines including old, new and interesting cars, motor bikes, trucks and even tractors are welcome.

It would be great for you or your club to join us for a true automotive day out in the country. It’s not far and a great little drive to stretch some legs and a good chance to talk all things automotive. Note also that the Wamboin Hall is an AEC polling place for the Federal Election, to be held on the same day, so you will be able to both take in the show and vote at the venue.

Another bonus on the day is the opportunity to pick up some healthy bargains at the monthly home produce markets. There will also be freshly brewed coffee and the local Wamboin RFS will also be running a BBQ. Please email peter.evans@wamboincommunity.asn.au to confirm your attendance or just turn up on the day.

Display entry is a gold coin donation and swap tables (provided) are $5 (remember to bring your cash as there is no EFTPOS). There is only one trophy for the day “People’s Choice”. All proceeds to the Wamboin Rural Fire Brigade.

Further details at www.wamboincommunity.asn.au or on Facebook Wheels of Wamboin.

Hope to see you there with your automotive beauty.

Community Meeting
Proposed Fibre Broadband Network

Wamboin Community Hall, 7.00pm

The Wamboin Communications Action Group (WCAG) has been working over the last year to identify options to deliver a better broadband network for our community in the Wamboin, Bywong and Sutton region. Our efforts here picked up pace once it became clear that, notwithstanding our proximity to Canberra, we were being relegated to the poorest NBN option – the Satellite based SkyMuster service. You can find more details about this and the background to the group at our web site at https://sites.google.com/site/wamboincommunications/home.

A few months ago we commenced discussions with a commercial party to investigate the potential of building a local Fibre based network - with fibre connection to the Internet delivered right to your home or business! Significant progress has now been made and we would like to share with local residents the detail – including timing, speeds, data allowances and costs. With your support the answers you’ll hear to these are .... 2018, very fast, lots and comparable .... in that order.

At the meeting you’ll get to hear from members of the Action Group with a detailed presentation on the proposed network being delivered by our possible network builder and operator, followed by a Q&A session.

We do need your support to make this a success, so join us at the Wamboin Community Hall from 7.00pm to learn what is being proposed and what you have to gain by being an early participant.

Now in its fifth year, Garage Sale Trail is supported by over 130 councils nationally and is expecting up to 10,000 garage sales across the country with over 2 million items for sale.

In Bungendore, Abbeyfield Bungendore is hosting a Community Garage. To support Abbeyfield stall holders are asked for a $10 fee for a garage sale—stall proceeds will support Abbeyfield to develop a senior living facility in Bungendore.

How can you participate?

This is a great opportunity to meet more of your neighbours, learn new information and skills and get to know your community - it's where we all live!

Cuddly toys are nice, but spare a thought also for those who are often overlooked: mums and adolescents.

Norton Road Rehabilitation Project

Community Consultation Meeting

Residents may not be aware of the extent of Council's plans for the rehabilitation of the western part of Norton Road. The most recent works were undertaken on the section between Bingley Way and Merino Vale Drive. The next stage of the project will be the section from Sutton Road to Furnloff Road.

Planning for this phase of the project is now well advanced with site works expected to commence before Easter and carry through into June this year—weather permitting.

The scale of the project is likely to have some considerable impact on traffic movements through this area of Norton Road. While the recent Macs Reef Road rehabilitation project saw that road closed for several weeks, due to the lack of a suitable alternative route to Queanbeyan, this is not seen as practical in the present case. Nonetheless, the works on the Norton Road hill, in particular, will be of such a scale that extended delays for vehicular through traffic will be inevitable.

In response to initial feedback from the Wamboin community, Palerang Council, in conjunction with the Wamboin Community Association, will hold a public consultation session on Wednesday 26 March, from 7.30 pm, at the Wamboin Community Hall, 112 Bingley Way, Wamboin.

Council’s Director of Works, Mr Gordon Cunningham, will provide an illustrated overview of the project and engineering staff will be on hand to answer any specific questions about either the project or road construction in general.

Questions or comments in the interim may be directed to the Director of Works, Mr Gordon Cunningham on 6238 8111 during business hours.

National Capital Car Rally

Kowen Forest will be CLOSED

The Brindabella Motor Sport Club would like to notify all residents in the Wamboin area that the Kowen Forest will be CLOSED to the public from 5:00 pm Saturday 1st March to 12:01 am on Monday 3rd March 2014.

The forest will be closed due to a high speed car rally.

Kowen forest will be closed for the running of the “National Capital Rally”. The Rally is the opening round of the East Coast Bullbars Australian Rally Championship; the NSW Rally Championship and the Techworkz Automotive ACT Regional Rally Series.

The forest will be chained up on Saturday night 1st March in preparation for the event. We will be locking all gates, styes and horse cavaleties. Notices will be put up before the event advising of the forest closure. “Forest Closed” signs will be put up when we chain up the forest.

There will be NO PUBLIC ACCESS via Seven Mile Road. This road is to be used as a transport leg for support vehicles. Regular water spraying will be conducted to minimise any dust impacts, and vehicles shall not exceed 40km/h.

The Brindabella Motor Sport Club requests that residents do not enter the forest from the Wamboin side, as this will endanger you and the competitors.

The Forest will be re-opened after the event, and open to the public for Monday morning. We will open the forest as early as possible to let the early risers in for their Monday walk!

There will be a spectator point on Kowen Road. Please join us, to see some of the best Australian and local rally talent.

We are always in need of volunteer officials to help us run the event over the weekend. If you are able to assist, please register your details at www.nationalcapitalrally.com.au

Competitors will be conducting reconnaissance on Thursday the 27th February between 7:30 am and 6:00 pm. The forest will be open to the public, however, Wamboin residents should be aware that there will be increased traffic.

If you have any questions, please contact ACT Forests – 6207 2486 or
Adrian Dudok – 0417 251 011 or via email: cofc@nationalcapitalrally.com.au

Meet the Candidates

At the Wamboin Community Hall, from 7.00 pm.

Local residents have tended to be a little on the outer in the run up to federal elections since residents of Bywong, Sutton East and Wamboin were moved from Eden-Monaro to Hume. With Bungendore and Queanbeyan still in the seat of Eden-Monaro, this tends to be the focus of the local media. Candidates for the seat of Hume, however, have been invited to address local residents and take questions on matters of concern in the upcoming federal election. This is your chance to meet your aspiring representatives.

To date, 7 or the 9 candidates have indicated that they will attend the meeting on Thursday evening (listed below in the order they will appear in the ballot paper):

A New Planning System for NSW

The NSW Government is undertaking a major reform of current planning legislation and practices.

The aim of the new planning system is to make NSW more competitive by improving decision making, providing more certainty and making it more cost effective to do business in the state. It will focus on people and communities, rather than processes. Communities will have a say in shaping their local area by helping to develop the long-term strategic plans that will set the ground rules for development.

On 16 April, the NSW Government released the White Paper A new planning system for NSW for public feedback.

An extensive program of engagement and consultation activities on the White Paper has been announced. This includes regional and metropolitan discussion sessions being held across NSW during May and June for the community, planning practitioners and the building industry.

In particular, a public forum will be held in Queanbeyan on Thursday 23 May 2013, 6.00 pm – 7.30 pm, at the Queanbeyan Bowling Club, Cnr Campbell and George Street, Queanbeyan.

Anyone interested in attending is encouraged to register beforehand.

Macs Reef Road Rehabilitation Project

Community Consultation Meeting

As part of its 2012/13 Operation Plan, Council voted $1.125m toward the rehabilitation of Macs Reef Road, between Newington and Bankers Roads.

Planning for this important project is now well advanced with site works expected to commence late in March and carry through into June this year—weather permitting.

The scale of the project is likely to have some considerable impact on traffic movements through this area of Macs Reef Road and one strategy currently under consideration is the complete closure of the road between Newington Road and Bankers Road during the earthworks component of the project—a period of approximately six weeks from early April to mid May.

In response to initial feedback from the Bywong community, Palerang Council will hold a public consultation session in conjunction with the next meeting of the Bywong Community Association, set down for 7.30 pm, Monday 11 February at the Bywong Community Hall, Birriwa Road, Bywong.

Council’s Director of Works, Mr Gordon Cunningham, will provide an illustrated overview of the project and engineering staff will be on hand to answer any specific questions about either the project or road construction in general.

Questions or comments in the interim may be directed to the Director of Works, Mr Gordon Cunningham on 6238 8111 during business hours.

Lofty Mason will be co-ordinator and volunteers should ring, visit or Email him (details below) to discuss the area they are clearing.

Lofty has all the normal gear—bags, drinks, gloves, chewy bars etc.

Cuddly toys are nice, but spare a thought also for those who are often overlooked: mums and adolescents.

Public Information Session

Telecommuting in Palerang

Sustaining Our Towns (SOT), funded by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust, is currently undertaking a feasibility study for a network of tele-commuter centres throughout the regions surrounding the ACT. The study will cover the region but will focus on the Bungendore area as a case study.

Tele-commuting means working for all or some of the time away from the workplace. The tele-centre model we are investigating is one where a number of different employers may rent space in a shared office location for their employees. Contractors and employees currently working from home may also wish to individually rent space in the facility. There may be other spin-off benefits for businesses co-locating as well.

We need to know how much interest there is in all of these possibilities so we can pick some winners and make them happen! Help us help you!

WhenTuesday November 29th 7.30 pm
WhereBungendore Council Chambers, Majara St Bungendore
SpeakersWelcome from the Mayor of Palerang, Walter Raynolds
Speakers will detail the project, explain where it fits within regional planning priorities at all government levels and give the perspective from an employer who has implemented tele-working in the Canberra region. A public discussion of the local opportunities and barriers will follow.

Land for Wildlife

The meeting to find out about the Land for Wildlife scheme will go ahead on Saturday 30 October 2010 at 10.30 am for an 11.00 am start, at the Wamboin Community Hall. Several people have been in touch and plan to come along. It is not too late to jump onboard – just let me know you are coming (see contact details below).

Just to recap....... you can find out about the Land for Wildlife program at www.cen.org.au/landforwildlife. The Land for Wildlife scheme encourages property owners to commit to managing all or part of their land in an environmentally friendly way. The program is free to join and is not legally binding. The minimum size of land to register is half a hectare of native bush land. Over time the scheme not only provides refuges for wildlife, but it allows wildlife corridors to be created where Land for Wildlife areas match up. It also gives us encouragement to look after our wildlife and enjoy having it around.

Cheers!

Bush Baroque – Triple Treat

Lathika Vithanage is establishing herself as a leading baroque violinist in Australia by playing with such ensembles as Salut! Baroque, Orchestra of the Antipodies and Ludvicos Band. A graduate of the Sydney Conservatoire, she is soon to spend two years in Italy undertaking postgraduate study with Stephano Montanari in Milan. One of her last concerts before going to Italy will be with Bush Baroque in Bywong on Saturday and Sunday June 19/20. One of the works she will perform is a virtuosic sonata by Fontana, an early baroque Italian composer.

In a concert called "Triple Treat" she is one of the treats, the others being the a capella female vocal group, Polifemy, and another exciting young talent in Emma Jenvy, soprano. Polifemy will be singing scared music by Palestrina, Monteverdi, Byrd and Vinci, while Emma will be singing cantatas by Handel and Telemann.

Richard and Joan Milner both play the viola da gamba, an instrument rarely heard today but popular in England and Europe between about 1450 and 1700. Derived from the Spanish guitar, it is a bowed instrument with 6 strings and frets.

Short Grape Pick at Lambert Vineyards

Come help the Fire Brigade on Saturday 17 April in a short grape pick (as in, picking grapes for just a couple of hours, a short time, rather than all day, which might be considered by many to be a somewhat long grape pick) kicking-off at 7.00 am (stragglers welcome). The plan is for the tools to be cleaned and tucked away by around 10.30 am – 11.00 am at which point the great morning tea for which the Lamberts are renowned will follow.

Lambert Vineyards is at 810 Norton Rd, about 0.5 km east of the Weeroona Dr/Norton Rd intersection.

Everyone in the community is encouraged to assist. If you can help, please email Ian Coillet at lodestar@ozemail.com.au or phone 6238 3425 ASAP to advise and to receive further info.

Carols at Wamboin

The annual Christmas Carols sing along at the Wamboin Community Hall, commencing at 7.00 pm, with an appearance by the jolly gentleman in red himself! The 'formal proceedings' will be followed, as is the tradition, with a sausage sizzle for all the family. All welcome, young and old, with proceeds to the Salvation Army.

As is also the tradition, there will be a Giving Tree, for Christmas gifts and non-perishable food also to be distributed by the Salvation Army. Cuddly toys are nice, but spare a thought for those who are often overlooked: mums and adolescents. The most convenient presentation is a Christmas bag, rather than wrapping paper.
