GREENBUSHES AND BALINGUP CYCLE STAGE FINISHES

Greenbushes and Balingup will be centre stage when 720 riders from the Tour of Margaret River Road Cycle Pro Am come to town for Stage finishes on Saturday November 11 and Sunday November 12.

It will be like one big street party in Greenbushes on November 11 with Blues Band Nineteen Twenty performing in the lead up to the riders crossing the finish line near the District Hall on Blackwood Road. The free event which kicks off about 9:30am will also feature a range of market stalls on the oval at Thomson Park selling tasty food and drinks.

Everyone is welcome to go along and join in the fun at this free event.

As part of the event, Maranup Ford Road between the intersection of Stanifer Street and the Bridgetown Nannup Highway will be closed to traffic between 9:30am and 11:00am on Saturday November 11.

So find a vantage point to watch the race or muster at the finish line on Blackwood Road where the riders are expected to start arriving anytime after 9:30am. Bikes will continue streaming in until about 11am when the presentations will be held on stage at the finish line.

Then on Sunday November 12 the fun continues at Balingup with a Stage finish at the top of the Balingup Heights hill around lunchtime. The cyclists will then make their way down the village green to mingle and enjoy some time out before the commencement of the final stage back to Nannup in the early afternoon.

The Balingup Village Green will be alive with stalls and there will be a medieval flavour to the day’s proceedings.

For more information go to the Tour of Margaret River website. Posters and further information will be distributed closer to the event. See inside this edition for the Greenbushes road closure maps.

MINE NEWS with Steve Green

The Talison Lithium Expansion Project is progressing well with works continuing on piling.

The Mine Open Day provided an opportunity for members of our community to see the project first hand and to also view the mining machines and Chemical Grade Processing facility. See below for a current photo of the C3 pit.

The site bid a fond farewell to Bill Cornell in September. Bill has been a long time employee with 40 years of service to the Greenbushes Operations. We wish Bill and Bev all the best for the retirement and trust they will get out and enjoy some quality time and well earned recreation. Bill is pictured here at his farewell barbecue with Maintenance Coordinator-Infrastructure Matt Boyle.

We also extend a warm welcome to our new Manager Mining Matt Rowett who commenced his role in September.

Pat’s Patch...Cr Pat Scallan

The last of the meetings for this council has come and gone with a new council being

elected at the end of the month. Unfortunately there were no new hands put up for the North Ward so you will be stuck with me for another term. It will be good to get some new blood on council as fresh ideas and looking at things from a different perspective is always good. Have a think about putting your hand up next time around.

The Shire and a working party is very busy working through the sesquicentennial (150 years) celebration programme for Bridgetown next year so if you do have any ideas please let someone on the committee know or I can pass them through.

There has been a few issues with hoons in town lately and the only way for us as a town to get on top of it is to report them to the police. If you don’t want to get too involved please let me know the details and I am more than happy to follow up.

The police are very willing to do something about it but they can’t be here 24/7 so please let them know when something is happening or get me the details particularly the vehicle details and rego….. and driver if you can!

There are also a few motorbikes hooning up and down the town streets, some of the alley ways and also on some of the walk trails (some of which are signposted for walkers only) including the board walk at the pool.

The Greenie Pool has been developed by the locals in town and we don’t want it to be destroyed by irresponsible selfish individuals who expect the rest of the world to clean up and fix up after them!

Spring is here (occasionally) so its time again to think about your fire prevention and emergency plan…Is your property fire ready and are you and your family prepared to leave or fight the fire if one eventuates?

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (previously Parks and Wildlife) is planning a prescribed burn of the bush block north of Greenbushes-Grimwade Road, east of the South Western Highway, south of DaRonch’s Road and west of North Greenbushes and the railway line this spring.

There are lots of activities happening in and around town over the next few months such as the Tour de Margaret River which finishes one of its stages in Greenbushes….we are supplying lunch for them and the support crew. Come and support by waving on the finishers…ring bells or just make a noise. There will be some Blues music at the finish, (which is at the hall), with market Stalls and food available. If you want to help please give me a call as volunteers are always needed.

Remembrance Day this year is going to be held on Friday 10

th November at 10:45am as we have the Tour de Margaret

River finishing their event on the 11th around that time.

GREENBUSHES PRIMARY SCHOOL

& COMMUNITY SHED Earlier this year the Greenbushes Primary School students, incorporated in their curriculum, the

design of a logo for our Greenbushes Community Shed. Students used their knowledge of logos, computer programs, art and design techniques to produce some very creative designs. Eventually, with some additional suggestions from our Shed Committee, the final design was decided upon. As a reward for their hard work the students were treated to an Inflatable Sports afternoon, sponsored by the CRC and a sausage sizzle, sponsored by the P & C. Students were able to experience inflatable hockey, twister and basket ball activities, all aimed at establishing team building, coordination and fitness, delivered in a safe environment for pri-mary school aged children. It has been a rewarding experience for the CRC to coordinate the development of these events, and watch the collabo-ration between groups in achieving a satisfying outcome for a new community group.

In 2015 The Greenbushes Community Resource Centre re-ceived grant funding through the South West Development Commission for the purpose of developing a software package to match seniors or those with disabilities, with local volun-teers, by helping them remain in their own homes for longer. By offering a low cost option for all the small jobs, which are often too difficult to complete without some form of help or assis-tance, our newly developed software package will help match those in need with those willing to contribute their time in help-ing with odd jobs. The software package is now complete, with both an on-line and off-line version, the system has been trialled, audited and is now ready to implement within our community. If you hold a senior or disability card and require help with small jobs around the home or garden, or if you are still active within our community and have time to volunteer, then please contact the CRC on 9764 3575 and your information will be added to our data base and skill sets matched with jobs which may need completing in the future. Volunteering is a satisfying and rewarding way of contributing to our society.


GROW GREENBUSHES NEWS

Leanne Green Chairperson Grow Greenbushes

Greg Duff, the Operations Manager at Auswest Timbers, gave this update to the September meeting of Grow Greenbushes: Consolidation of our operations onto the Greenbushes site has progressed well since the beginning of the year.

Greenbushes is our sole production site. We continue to also dispatch remaining product off our Pemberton and Manjimup sites.

Although domestic WA market conditions are challenging, we have been selling good volumes of timber into other states and overseas.

We have been working on noise management, and this has included design changes to some waste block conveyors and also walling in a part of our Greenmill.

Our current major project is the Large Log Line. This is essentially a second sawmill specifically designed to process bigger logs and produce high value big section products. Project construction is running on-time and to budget. Installation will be complete this month and commissioning will be occurring Sept/Oct.

We will ramp up capacity on this new line, and within several months our intent will be to transfer one of our existing shifts to the new line. This will mean dayshift only in the Greenmill (currently day and night shift Monday to Thursday).

As you might have seen in the local paper, we are seeking timber stackers and plant operators to help us fill current positions and those on the new line. If you have friends or family that are interested, please get them to come in and grab an application form! All applicants keen to work hard and be a reliable team member will be considered.

Greg has been invited to attend our November 2nd meeting in person to provide an update of the progress

of the Large Log Line commissioning.

Congratulations to the Tidy Town Com-mittee for being a finalist in the Environ-mental Sustainability category of the Keep Australia Beautiful Tidy Towns Sustainable Communities Awards.

To those people involved in the recent spate of vandalism around Greenbushes

A big thankyou to everyone who has contributed to keeping Greenbushes great!

Greenbushes Primary School hosted a fond farewell to long serving teacher Rose Fullston upon her retirement in September 2017.

The school community and other Greenbushes residents joined Rose for a farewell dinner at the Shamrock Hotel where people paid tribute to her dedication and commitment to Greenbushes and its future generations. Best wishes for your retirement Rose.

Our Spider workshop with Queensland honorary researcher and author Robert Whyte was a thrilling morning out for all ages. Robert is visiting the area as part of the Blooming Wild Festival to celebrate his newly released book 'A field

Guide to Spiders of Australia' with the CSIRO. The workshop was for all ages and Robert chatted to us about the making of his book, the important role of spiders in our ecosystems, common ones in our area, how to safely catch and identify spiders, and much more. Robert’s aim is to alleviate people’s fear of these fascinating creatures. The workshop was during school holidays on Wednesday October 4

We are organising a bus tour to Margaret River’s Fair Harvest property. Fair Harvest was established in 1995 and is a thriving permaculture farm. Their aim is to inspire and enable people to grow their own produce and be more sustainable.
