    Coming in 2019 Infrastructure Projects for Oberon In 2018 Council secured significant funding for some exciting community infrastructure projects across the local government area . Many of these projects support the Oberon community’s belief that active communities are health communities better able to respond positively and constructively to present and future challenges including the current drought conditions.

    Throughout 2019 Council will be working hard to deliver these projects that will make Oberon an even better place to live, work, visit and play. Work will commence shortly on the construction of the $500K Indoor Fitness Centre which will be located within the Oberon Sporting Precinct next to the Oberon Swimming Pool. This project has been funded under Round 2 of the State

    Government’s Stronger Country Communities Program and will construct a new 700 square metre building.

    solar access to the pool while restricting cool winds. Meanwhile work on the Oberon Skatepark at the Oberon Common and Grandstands at the Recreational Ground will commence shortly . Village communities are already enjoying recent upgrades to playground facilities at Black Springs, Burraga and O’Connell. In the tourism space a $210,000 rebranding and new town signage project will reimagine existing town signage used in the Oberon LGA helping to welcome visitors to our beautiful town. Primitive campground facilities at the Reef Reserve will be improved by constructing campsites, including fireplaces, and upgrading the access road into the Reef Reserve. On our roads the safety of all road users and the efficiency of transporting logs to the Oberon Timber Mill will be improved by a number of projects including installation of safety barriers on Abercrombie Road, funded by the Saving Lives on Country Roads Programme, and the upgrade of The Meadows Road funded under the Fixing Country Roads Programme. Heritage projects that received funding in 2018 included a $110,000 project to conserve O’Connell’s Earth Buildings, the upgrade of the platform of the Heritage Listed Oberon Railway Station, and the construction of a Memorial Wall at Black Springs commemorating the Bicentenary of the discovery of Black Springs area by explorer Charles Throsby. During times of drought keeping the Oberon community socially connected will be supported by a range of community events based in the O’ Connell Valley and Fish River area funded by the Drought Communities programme including an old fashioned bush dance and the annual youth week activities. Funding for essential infrastructure including the replacement of the ageing Oberon Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) has been a key focus for Council over the past four years. Council is actively seeking additional funding to meet the $15 million cost of replacing the STP. A total of $4.95 million has already been secured. As we approach the State Election in March 2019 more funding announcements for other community infrastructure projects are expected. So watch this space.

    International Women’s Day Lunch

    Saturday 9th of March 12.30pm at the

    Robert Hooper Community Centre

    The annual International Women’s Day Mayoral Lunch will take on a different feel in 2019. I thought this year it would be great to give Oberon women who would normally be at work the opportunity to join us, hence the event will be held on Saturday March 9 at the Robert Hooper Community Centre commencing at 12.30pm. IWD allows the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women and acknowledge their contribution to the fabric of our society, which has been substantial. The first International Women's Day occurred in 1911, today IWD is celebrated and supported by millions all over the world, the story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single person nor to any one organisation but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.

    This year’s theme is -#BalanceforBetter. A call to action for gender equality not only socially but economically, culturally and politically. In keeping with the theme this year’s keynote speaker is Ms Sue West. Sue has had an interesting life, born in Cowra her early career was in nursing and midwifery. Sue entered politics in 1987 and was elected as a Labor Senator in 1990, retiring in 2002 an interesting time for women in politics. Sue now resides in Bathurst and spends part of her time supporting the Anglican Diocese. Tickets for the event are always in demand so to secure a place early I suggest you ring Sharon Swannell on 6329 8151. This is a free event for the women of Oberon so please take the opportunity to join us for what is always a great afternoon.

    Monday 19th November 2018 was the official start of the new school year for Oberon High School Students. This aligns all year groups with the compressed curriculum structure of Senior College and students started the week by moving to the next year group, that is, a 2018 Year 8 student is in Year 9 and will finish Year 9 in November 2019. In line with the rollover to the new school year, Oberon High School has been undergoing some changes within the school’s discipline, wellbeing and positive behaviour for learning (PBL) structures. The PBL team, led by Miss Shannon Marshall, reviewed a lot of the past systems in the school and have decided to re-vamp them in one way or another.

    Part of the re-launch of PBL was the introduction of our new school mascot: Benny the bull. Benny was kindly donated to Oberon High School by the local roller derby and will appear throughout all kinds of school events. He is designed to strengthen school spirit and encourage students to engage in the school expectations; respectful, responsible, right to be safe and resilient.

    New Mascot Helps Reinforce School Expectations: Respectful, Responsible, Right to be Safe and Resilient.

    As the level of the Oberon Dam has fallen below 50% capacity, Level 1 Water Restrictions have been introduced effective from Thursday 13 December 2018. Level 1 water restrictions are designed to reduce consumption and the impacts on the Oberon Dam during dry periods. Details of Level 1 Water Restrictions are as follows: RESIDENTIAL GARDENS- Fixed hoses and sprinklers connected to the Oberon reticulated water system are banned between the hours of 8am and 4pm. There is no restriction on hand held hoses. More stringent restrictions will be introduced if the Oberon Dam falls to a level below 40% capacity. Level 2 water restrictions will be applied and details will be widely advertised. The community’s awareness and contribution to water efficiency is acknowledged and consumers are reminded that during dry periods additional reduction in consumption is required to sustain our water supply. These restrictions will continue until further advised. Further information about saving water at home, in the garden and in your business can be
