Harmony Day Brings Onslow Together

Onslow residents came out in force to celebrate Harmony Day on Saturday 21 March, despite the recent effects of Tropical Cyclone Olwyn.

Community spirit was high as people took a well-earned break to enjoy each other’s company, sample delicious food from across the globe and try their hand at a variety of multi-cultural games. The Onslow Kids Kitchen Garden showcased a range of gourmet delights while the V Swans team hosted numerous games and activities originating from various cultures.

Shire President Cr Kerry White was pleased with the community’s celebration of Harmony Day, especially in the wake of Cyclone Olwyn.

“Harmony Day promotes a message of cultural acceptance, reminding us to treat everyone with respect and acceptance,” said Cr White. “After what has been a long week for many, seeing Onslow residents come together with a great sense of multi-cultural pride highlights the true strength of our community spirit.”

Celebrating its 15th year, Harmony Day celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.

The Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project is a proud supporter of the Onslow Kids Kitchen Garden, the Chevron V Swans Active program and Mentally

Healthy WA’s Act-Belong-Commit campaign, which are helping to contribute to a thriving, vibrant Onslow community.

Chevron Australia Community Engagement Advisor Sam Rigg said it was fantastic to see each of the community-based programs working together to celebrate Harmony Day in Onslow.

“It was great to see the diverse talents of Onslow school students, the amazing school garden, and the fantastic V Swans program bringing the community together,” Sam said.

Gemma Brooks, Health Promotion Coordinator for Mentally Healthy WA, was proud to be involved in this year’s event.

“Harmony Day at the Onslow Kids Kitchen Garden was a great success and a perfect example of Act-Belong-Commit in action,” said Ms Brooks. “Engaging in community activities, learning about new cultures and supporting local groups increases community spirit and harmony, and is a positive boost to our mental wellbeing.”

Tropical Cyclone Olwyn blows through Onslow

Onslow bunkered down as Tropical Cyclone Olwyn passed along the coast on Thursday 12 March, bringing with her winds gusts of up to 119km/h. Onslow airport officially recorded 96mm of rain across the two days however local unofficial reports were up to 120mm and above.

Rated as a Category 3 Cyclone when Olwyn tracked down the coast, fortunately Onslow was left with only minor damage and no serious injury or accidents.

While roads were closed due to flooding, debris littered the streets and a number of homes and buildings reported minor damage, the community of Onslow quickly rolled up their sleeves and embraced the clean-up.

The Shire’s Emergency Management Coordinator, Morgwn Jones, travelled to Onslow a few days prior to the cyclone to prepare the town as well as assist in the community’s recovery efforts.

“Onslow took a bit of a battering, but compared to close-by towns such as Exmouth and Carnarvon, we escaped relatively unscathed,” said Morgwn.

“The efforts in preparing the town as the cyclone moved closer, as well as in the recovery and clean-up, are enormous and everyone within the community played their part.

“A very big thank you to the Onslow Volunteer Emergency Service, the Onslow Police, Department of Child Protection and Family Support, Vision Power, local contractors, Shire of Ashburton staff and the Onslow community itself who all worked tirelessly to ensure Onslow’s safety and well-being.”

Onslow residents given a sneak peek into the new AirportDespite the tropical cyclone that bore down on Onslow a few days prior, the recently completed airport opened its doors to the community, offering an opportunity to have an early look at the brand new facility.

Residents have watched the airport come to life during each stage of the construction process and on Saturday 14 March the Onslow community were invited to attend an Open Day, where they could tour through the terminal prior to its official opening later this year.

Over 100 people took up the chance to have a first look inside the new facility and see firsthand how the airport will operate.

Shire President Kerry White says that Onslow is very proud of the new airport and excited at the opportunity for easier travel, both for residents and tourists.

“The community have been patient throughout the entire construction process, so it was important they were given the chance to experience the new facility before we officially opened it to the public a few days later.

This activity met Community Goal 4 of the Corporate Business Plan, Distinctive and well serviced places.

“It was great to see so many interested families make the most of the opportunity to tour through the facility. Even more so as many of them were tirelessly cleaning up after Cyclone Olwyn.”

Having won a recent national award for the ‘Non-RPT Certified airport of the Year’, Onslow airport is a great achievement for the Shire of Ashburton. While roads, parking and some minor landscaping is still being completed plans are underway for the official opening ceremony later this year.

Residents enjoyed the first look through the new facility

Pilbara passion reaching fever pitch in 2015

Get out your diary and highlight June 26-27! The much-loved Passion of the Pilbara Festival returns to Onslow in 2015 and it’s bigger and better than ever.

Initially launched by the Shire of Ashburton in 2010 to showcase all that the region has to offer, Passion of the Pilbara has been warmly embraced by locals across the Shire, establishing its place as a much-loved biennial festival. The Shire is proud to continue its support of the festival and the positive influence it brings to the community.

Major drawcards at this year’s event include iconic Australian band Mental As Anything, award-winning comedic MC Mark Bin Bakar (aka Mary G) and ‘The Pilbara and ME’ short film festival showcasing inspiring 3-to-4 minute films created by talented locals.

Whether you are a keen angler, an enthusiastic chef or enjoy creating sculptures in the sand, there is something for everyone with an endless stream of fantastic activities.

Browse local artwork from all over the Pilbara at this year’s art & photography exhibition, join Sandstorm Events as they turn the town oval into a community sand sculpture centrepiece, round up the kids and experience all the entertainment and activities at KidsZone or chase a big fish in the Mackerel Islands Fishing Competition.

Festival goers can join a culinary journey with Australia’s leading Indigenous chef, Mark Olive, and Pete Manifis of Perth’s award-winning Zafferano and Incontro restaurants, before they go head-to-head in the East-versus-West cooking competition on the main stage.

Battle of the Chefs

Mark Olive is Australia’s leading Indigenous chef, renowned for serving our country’s vibrant culinary and cultural tapestry to the world for more than 30 years. Pete Manifis learned the ropes under former Loose Box chef, Alain Fabregues, and has since carved his own name at some of Perth’s award-winning restaurants.

These two treasured chefs will be showcasing their talents before going head-to-head in an East-versus-West cooking competition!

Art & photography exhibition In 2015, this exceptional exhibition will grow to include local artwork from all over the Pilbara.

Financed by local businesses and supported by the Shire and local community, the Passion of the Pilbara Festival brings residents and visitors together in a celebration of the Pilbara lifestyle and community values. Shire President Kerry White said the surging popularity of the event brought out the true colours of the community.

“Passion of the Pilbara has been a huge success since we first launched the initiative in 2010,” said Cr White. “Over 1100 people have attended, with the benefits filtering out to countless families, visitors, residents and businesses of Onslow.

“We’re extremely excited to grow the size and popularity of the festival into 2015, which is reflected in the huge variety of stalls, headline acts and entertainment featuring in June.”

Cr White said the event offered the Onslow community the rare chance to experience a smorgasbord of entertainment and cultural activities.

“The program offers something for everyone and strikes the perfect balance between promoting local assets and imported talent,” enthused Cr White “Because we’re so geographically isolated, we don’t usually have Sandstorm Events working with our kids to build sandcastles, and fantastic bands like Mental As Anything being able to perform.”

Council reviews the Shire’s Long Term Financial PlanThe Shire of Ashburton’s Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) provides information on the Shire’s financial sustainability in the context of the delivery of projects and services contained within the Corporate Business Plan Living Life – Making it Happen 2013-2017.

At the Ordinary Meeting of Council in March Councillors agreed to adopt the draft Long Term Financial Plan.

The LTFP indicates a local government’s long term financial sustainability, allows early identification of financial issues and their longer term impacts, shows the linkages between specific plans and strategies, and enhances the transparency and accountability of the Council to the community.

The plan enables Council to model the financial impacts of various activities,

initiatives, service levels and programs as well as perform risk analysis to measure the impacts of changing assumptions such as growth, inflation, grants and subsidies. The LTFP will identify whether or not those priorities are sustainable given current resourcing, and will evidence any gap between projected expenditures and projected income.

Shire President Kerry White says the LTFP was developed using issues identified to the Community Strategic Plan and Corporate Business Plan, and is updated with information and knowledge gained since those plans were adopted.

“The Long Term Financial Plan provides the Council and the community with a picture of the Shire’s long term financial circumstances and assists us to meet our strategic outcomes and objectives, said Cr White. “As part of this, the Shire has

This activity met Community Goal 5 of the Corporate Business Plan, Inspiring Governance.

also investigated ways to improve services to the community by resource sharing and collaboration with neighbouring local governments. This work continues as we constantly seek to improve our systems and service delivery.”

The Long Term Financial Plan is available on the Shire’s website.

Adoption of this financial plan will now provide Council with the opportunity to make sure that the goals of the Corporate Business Plan are prioritised in line with the capacities of the Long Term Financial Plan. A Workshop was held in April to facilitate these considerations and a further Council report to confirm that sustainable corporate planning is in place, will follow.

Local cricketers help bring home the titleThree players from the Fortescue Cricket Association in Tom Price were chosen to represent the WA Indigenous team at the Imparja Cup held in Alice Springs during February. Willy Nona, Jayden Bennell and teenager Craig Jones all made solid contributions during the week which helped the WA team bounce back from two early losses to go on and win six straight games and claim the title.

Willy Nona starred with the bat against Victoria and claimed 4/11 in the Semi Final win against NSW. Jayden Bennell was outstanding with the ball, finishing with eight wickets at an average of 10.5 for the tournament. Jayden also proved his skill while bowling the final over in the Grand Final, taking two wickets in an over that only scored five runs.

L-R: Craig Jones, Willy Nona and Jayden Bennell

Teenage bowler Craig Jones, who narrowly missed out on selection in the WA State U/17’s this year, was WA’s leading wicket taker despite not bowling in the first two games. Craig finished with 10 wickets at an average of 11.

In Thursday night’s game, WA had slumped to 8/72 with two balls remaining and were chasing 75 to win against the Northern Territory. Jayden and Craig were at the crease and steered WA home to a hard fought victory.

Craig Jones, along with Dane Ugle from the Rockingham Mandurah DCC, were awarded Black Caps as a result of their performances throughout the week.

The Shire farewells much-loved Councillor and resident Ann Eyre

After three and a half years tirelessly serving the Shire of Ashburton, Councillor Ann Eyre has retired.

Mrs Eyre has been a valued resident of the Pilbara for decades, having spent 17 years in Tom Price before moving to Onslow approximately 12 years ago. “My husband and I had a stationery and printing business in Tom Price before operating the Onslow Sun Chalets,” said Mrs Eyre.

“I’d been very involved with the local community across the years and decided to put my hand up for Councillor.”

When asked to reflect upon the greatest achievements during her time as councillor, Mrs Eyre points to the new multi-purpose centre (MPC) in Onslow.

Cr Ann Eyre

“We lived in a town that seemed to attract cyclones, yet there was nowhere for the residents to go,” stated Mrs Eyre. “The MPC now serves as a much-needed evacuation centre.”

Mrs Eyre is also extremely proud of the new Onslow airport. “It is fantastic to see 100-seater planes parked at the airport – it has been a long time coming!” declared Mrs Eyre, reminiscing upon the former dirt track that used to serve as a runway for the RFDS.

Well before becoming a Councillor, Mrs Eyre was innately driven to help the Pilbara realise its potential. “I was very keen to promote the Pilbara and its towns as a tourist attraction,” said Mrs Eyre, who helped start the Tom Price Tourist Centre and worked with the Visitors Centre in Onslow for 15 years.

As she departs for Jurien Bay to be closer to family in Perth, Mrs Eyre takes with her fond memories of her time in the Pilbara. “It is very sad for us to leave after so many years. I have found great satisfaction in contributing to the things that our community needed and wanted, especially during my time as a Councillor.

“I would very much like to thank everyone in the Shire of Ashburton for all their support and consideration over the years.”

The Shire of Ashburton graciously acknowledges Ann’s unwavering dedication to our region and wishes the Eyre family all the very best for the future.

Meet the first talking penguin bin in Australia!

The Shire of Ashburton has introduced ‘Bin-guin’, a talking penguin bin at the Vic Hayton Memorial pool in Tom Price, which is positioned near the baby and toddler pool. The bin is a new addition to the pool and is the first of its kind in Australia.

The original goal was to place a bin near the babies pool so parents and children didn’t need to walk away from each other, which could then lead to a supervision issue. Rather than a normal bin, the Shire wanted to extend the goal and find a new way to engage children and to encourage them to dispose of their rubbish appropriately.

Richard Smit, our Pool Manager, originates from the Netherlands and remembered seeing talking bins at an amusement park in his homeland, where kids were lining up to put rubbish in the bin! So, after some internet research, he successfully found the UK based manufacturers, who then referred the Shire to their distributor in Western Australia.

Shire President Cr Kerry White says the Shire is proud to see so many children and families respond positively to the issue of correct rubbish disposal.

“While there are numerous bins located throughout the pool grounds, the talking penguin bin delights the children as well as allows parents to use the bin while maintaining correct supervision of the babies pool.

“The talking penguin bin has proved very popular and the children absolutely love it,” said Cr White.

The Olsen family were the winners of the recent competition to name the penguin, with son Bailey also becoming the voice of Bin-guin for two weeks.

Bin-guin is now having a well-earned rest over winter but be sure to visit him next summer.
