CHRISTMAS WISHES On behalf of the councillors and staff of the Carrathool Shire Council, I would like

to take this opportunity to wish all residents and visitors to the shire a very Merry

Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

Council looks forward to working with its communities in 2018 for the benefit of

AUSTRALIA DAY 2018

Carrathool Shire’s Australia Day Ambassador for 2018 is Jeff Sayle, or “Sayley” as he likes to be known.

Sayley is a legend in world of rugby. He played one Test for Australia, the New Zealand 75th Jubilee Test, and

one game for NSW, but he played an incredible 379 club games for his beloved home club,

Randwick. A man’s man who wears his heart on his sleeve, his passion, his very life,

is rugby. He is one of the few who have put more back into the game than he ever got

out of it, his playing heroics, coaching deeds and administrative contribution being

second to none.

Everyone who knows him has a Sayley story, somewhat in the manner of two other

rugby immortals, Bill Cerutti and Stan Pilecki. In Sayley’s case the stories have a

seemingly mythic quality, but in actual fact they are invariably true. He simply is the

stuff of which legends are made.

Sayley will be our official guest during Australia Day, so make sure you come along

to the Australia Day celebrations at the Hillston Community Centre on Australia Day,

Friday 26 January 2018.

MEETING MATTERS

The Mayor and General Manager attended the Country Mayors meeting in Sydney and the Riverina and Murray

Regional Organisation of Councils at Jerilderie during November. These meetings provide great networking

opportunities on a number of subjects relevant to our community.

The Auditor General’s Office presented the Audit Report on Council financial statements this month. A full copy of

the report is contained in the statements on Council’s website.

A new Councillors Expenses and Facilities Policy based on the model provided from the Office of Local

Government has been placed on public exhibition for the next 28 days. Public comments are welcomed.

Council’s Annual Report has been completed and was presented to Council at the November meeting. A full copy of

the document can be found on Council’s website.

Council have set the meeting dates for the 2018 year and these will be advertised in due course.

RANGERS INFORMATION - SUMMER AND YOUR PETS

IT’S NOT COOL TO LEAVE PETS IN HOT CARS!

It can take just 10 minutes for the temperature in your car to rise to over 40 degrees – in a further 10 minutes it can

rise to over 60 degrees. As with humans, exposure to these extreme temperatures can be extremely dangerous. Dogs

cool themselves by panting, if the air around them is too hot with no access to cool water, they are unable to regulate

their body temperature.

The time it takes to pick up a few things for dinner and go through the checkout, a dog in a hot car could have

already died an agonising death.

If you find a pet in a hot car, please call the police on 000.The police are equipped to dispatch officers quickly from

the nearest police station.

KEEPING YOU PET COOL THIS SUMMER:

Walk your dog in the cooler part of the day, morning or evening

Make sure your pets have cool shady areas

Make sure your caged pets are not in direct sunlight and under shade

Make sure your pet has access to plenty of cool drinking water

DOG WELFARE AND SAFETY WHEN TRAVELLING ON VEHICLES

It is illegal to travel with a unsecured load on the back of your vehicle. A unrestrained dog can be considered “an

unsecured load”. Under the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001, you are obliged to ensure your dogs safety and

wellbeing at all times.

Common causes of injury:

dogs being struck by oncoming or passing vehicles

dogs being dragged along the sides of vehicles after losing their footing

dogs attempting to jump from moving vehicles

Your dog should be caged or tethered at all times to stop these kinds of injuries. It also fulfils your legal obligation

to make sure your dog is safe.

Remember the heat. Ute trays heat up and can burn dogs paws. In hot conditions consider covering metal trays.

Dogs left in the sun can suffer heat stress so provide them with shade and shelter. To prevent dehydration on long

journeys allow for frequent stops to give your dog water.

SNAKES ARE OUT AND ABOUT

To make your yard less appealing to snakes keep your grass cut low and your property clear of places for them to

hide. The tiger and brown snakes are responsible for most of the snake bites in domestic pets and can be fatal.

Signs of snake bite include:

Sudden weakness followed by collapse.

Shaking or twitching of the muscles and difficulty blinking

Vomiting

Loss of bladder or bowel control

Blood in urine

Paralysis

If you think your pet has been bitten, keep them calm and quiet as possible and get them to a vet immediately.

A firm bandage over and around the bite site to apply pressure can help slow the venom from spreading.

HOPE YOU AND YOUR PETS ENJOY THIS SUMMER

Recycling Centre in Hillston Hillston tip now has a Recycling section, the below

items can be recycled in this service:

RESIDENTIAL WATER METERS - FACTS Water meters measure the volume of water a property uses and are usually located close to the front of the

property. In Goolgowi raw meters are located at the front of the property while the potable meters are located in the

back lane. Each meter has a unique serial number. The brand and meter size should also be indicated on the meter.

Which pipes are Carrathool Shire Council responsible for?

Council will maintain the meter assembly, stop tap and service pipe running from our mains to the meter. The stan-

dard size of a residential meter is 20 mm but may vary up to size 40 mm.

Which pipes are the property owner’s responsibility? You are responsible for maintaining all the plumbing on your side of the meter to your home. Access is required at

all times. We can also ask you to remove any trees which could obstruct or damage our water or waste water

systems. It is important not to build or construct anything on your property that will:

interfere with our water or wastewater systems

cover any water supply, wastewater or drainage easements

be built over, or next to, our water supply and wastewater systems.

If you have concerns or questions regarding the above please contact Carrathool Shire Council.

How can I check our daily household usage? You can check exactly how much water your household is using by reading your water meter. To check your daily

water consumption, take two readings 24 hours apart and subtract one meter reading from the other. The white digits

record the number of kilolitres (1 kilolitre = 1000 litres). The black digits record the total number of litres.

The display on your water meter will be one of the two shown above.

The first reads 89.472 kilolitres or 89,472 litres. The second reads 89.4723 kilolitres or 89,472.3 litres. Essentially

these readings are the same however the second type has a greater degree of accuracy.

How can I check for a leak at my property?

To check for leaks, take two meter readings over a period when no water will be used at your property (eg. overnight

or a weekend away). If the meter records any change during this period, you may have leaking pipes, taps, toilet

cisterns or other water using appliances. If the leak is in the property’s service pipes, you will need to arrange a

plumber to fix it. In an emergency you can stop the flow of water to your house by turning off the stop tap.

I don’t think my meter is taking accurate readings. If you believe that your water meter readings are incorrect we can send it off to be independently tested at your

request on payment of the $140 testing fee. If the meter is out by more than 2% we will replace your meter free of

charge, refund the cost of the test and refund or credit any overcharged amounts. If the meter reading is too low,

Carrathool Shire may replace it. Please contact Carrathool Shire Council for a Water Meter Fault Testing

Application form.

Driving vehicles on gravel roads When driving on gravel roads users are reminded that these roads are for 2 way traffic and that drivers should

be driving to the left whenever practicable, try to stay off the crown of the road as this will increase the life of

the road and not make wheel ruts in the centre of the road. Summer is upon us and the road conditions are

changing all the time, take care when driving in dusty conditions. Be aware of sudden summer storms as they

will affect the roads very quickly.

LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME, BE SEEN BE SAFE.

maintained and the amenities were

spotless.

I hope to be back in the not too

distant future. Thanks”

Jan Skidmore from The Basin VIC

were spotless.

A very peaceful weekend, also the

pub meals were great. Thank You.”

New Federal Funding Available for Community

Investments in Carrathool

Round Two of the Federal Government’s Building

Better Regions Fund has just opened. Funding from

$5,000 to $10 million is available generally on a 3:1

ratio (for every $3 of grant funding requested

applicants must contribute at least $1) but in some

cases there is no requirement for any co-funding. What

is exciting for our community, is that in this round,

there is a Community Investments Stream which will

fund community building activities including new or

expanded local events, strategic regional plans, and

leadership and capability building activities. The EDO

is currently scoping a range of potential projects which

may be suitable for a funding application. Community

members who have ideas that may fit in this category

are encouraged to contact the EDO as soon as possible.

Applications close on 19 December 2017.

Goolgowi School Kids Get Involved With Skate

Park Project

The students of Goolgowi Public School have gotten

right behind the proposed Goolgowi Skate Park and

have included the park design as part of their school

studies. The EDO recently addressed the students and

briefed them on the background and timing of the

project. Input from the students will be included

during the community consultation phase once funding

has been approved.

Get Your Nominations In for the 2018 Australia

Day Awards.

Flyers have now been posted around the Shire calling

for nominations for the various Australia Day Award

categories. Nominations close on 8 December 2017.

Nominations are encouraged for those special people

in our Shire who put in exceptional effort across a

range of activities which keep our community going

strong, The EDO is in touch with various community

groups and organisations across the Shire regarding

nominations. This year’s awards will be held in

Hillston at the Community Centre.

Remembering Those Who Served

A grant application has been made to the NSW

Government’s Community War Memorials Fund for

restoration of three Honour Boards for the Gunbar and

Tabbita communities. These historic mementos

hopefully will soon be restored to their former glory

and once again be hanging proudly in both the Gunbar

Memorial Church and the Goolgowi Exies Club.

Keeping Hillston Safe

A grant application has been made to the Safer

Communities Fund for the installation of CCTV

cameras and security lighting in the areas around the

Hillston Library, Hillston Memorial Park, Hughie

Cameron Park and Lake Woorabinda. The cameras

will contribute to the safety of people using these areas

after hours, as well as deterring vandals. Cameras are

also proposed for the Hillston Swinging Bridge across

to Desathalon Park.
