This week, the City of Parramatta is celebrating
Burramatta NAIDOC Week with a rich online
program of arts, culture, music, and dance
– recognising that our City always was and
always will be an important gathering place.
NAIDOC Week is a wonderful opportunity
for us all to pay homage to the culture and
achievements of our City’s past and present
Indigenous population. To access the range of
activities and videos that are available as part
of our digital program from 8-15 November, visit

viewers on a journey of discovery through
our rich Indigenous and colonial history, and
unearths our City’s history and heritage through
a range of local stories about pandemics,
legends, food, buildings, and more. As
Australia’s second oldest City, Parramatta has
so many stories, cultures, and personalities to
explore. I encourage you to delve into our City’s
past and present by watching the series here:

Evolution of Parramatta
Marise Payne says striking a balance is critical as our city continues to develop
NICOLA BARTON
Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne has an office based in Parramatta.
Over the past decade, Parramatta
has seen an enormous amount of
change, much of it for the better,
some of it perhaps not.
For those who have lived or worked in
the region during this time, they have truly
witnessed the metamorphosis of Sydney’s
second city, as well as the battle of old and
new; heritage and development.
Some 20 years ago, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, Senator Marise Payne set up her
Macquarie Street office.
As a proud advocate for western Sydney
she thought this was key in ensuring there
was a strong representation of the Liberal
Party in Parramatta.
She remains in that office today, however
the city that surrounds it is far from the
same.
Ms Payne said she has a real soft spot for
the Parramatta community.
“The drive, the passion, the strength, the
diversity; Parramatta is ever-changing, it
never stands still,” she told Parra News.
“We love the excitement of the future, but
we also have a passion for both our Indigenous
and colonial history, all of which go
to make Parramatta so fascinating.
“I love to see that in practice at schools, at
Western Sydney University, in businesses,
and in fact everywhere I go here.”
Ms Payne said she is immensely proud of
what has been achieved in the region.
“It has been an absolute honour and
privilege to work in Parramatta and its surrounding
communities over all this time,”
she said.
“Parramatta is the beating heart, the engine
room and the focus of so much activity
in our state and our nation, that I feel like I
would be missing out if I wasn’t here!”
When it comes to the rapid change the
city has experienced, Ms Payne agreed that
striking a balance between old and new is
important.
“I respect the views of both sides of this
discussion, and I think all levels of Government,
Local, State and Federal, along with
our communities, have a role to play in endeavouring
to achieve that balance,” she
said.
As she looks to the future to imagine what
Parramatta might look like in another decade,
Ms Payne said the opportunities are
endless.
“It might be in high-tech business, in becoming
a foodie and cultural gourmet centre
of Sydney with our fabulous restaurants,
in the development of the services industry,
as a sports hub or as a city with a worldclass
skills and higher education precinct;
all these futures provide enormous opportunities,”
she said.

Compromise is the answer
Say the words “Willow Grove” to the
average person on the street and you’ll
probably draw a blank.
Yet this tranquil heritage villa in the
Parramatta CBD – which the NSW Government
wants to make way for a second
Powerhouse Museum – has become
ground zero in a fierce community battle
over how much a city looking to the future
should cherish its past.
The fate of Willow Grove has become a
soap opera and the latest twist tops the
lot. The government now plans to dismantle
Willow Grove and rebuild it in
North Parramatta at an estimated cost of
$10 million to taxpayers.
Apparently, it’s not as easy as picking up
the thing and putting it on the back of a
truck.
This story begins in 2015 when Premier
Mike Baird embraced an ambitious vision
(led, among others, by former state
Labor MP David Borger, now executive
director of the Western Sydney Business
Chamber), to relocate the Powerhouse
Museum from Ultimo to Parramatta.
Their intentions were correct. With
nearly one-third of the state’s population,
it’s long past time for Western Sydney to
have a world-class museum and snare its
fair share of arts funding.
Index
News..............................................1-23
Diwali Festival....................24-27
A prime Parramatta riverside location
adjoining Willow Grove was snapped
up (the site of the old David Jones car
park). And the government went to the
2019 election promising both to move the
Powerhouse and protect Willow Grove:
“We’ve always said of course our intention
is to save it,” Premier Gladys Berejiklian
said.
Fast forward 18 months. A huge innercity
backlash has forced the government
to leave the original Powerhouse in Ultimo.
But “Powerhouse Parramatta” will
still be built in the same controversial
location. And the sweeping design by architects
Moreau Kusunoki and Genton
means Willow Grove must go.
Cue a new backlash led by the irrepressible
Suzette Meade of the North Parramatta
Residents Action Group, joined
by Labor and Greens councillors – and
improbably, the CFMEU and Ray Hadley.
Now there are good people on all sides
of this debate. Powerhouse proponents
say a brilliant new cultural icon will announce
Parramatta’s arrival on the map.
But heritage advocates have tapped
into a dogged community sentiment that
the world’s great cities don’t walk away
from their history. We can transform Parramatta
while holding onto the character
Horoscopes...............................28
Entertainment .................29-38
and memories that make it so special.
And Willow Grove, surrounded by new
construction, is an oasis in a city changing
fast.
So the government wants to yank Willow
Grove over to North Parramatta while
Labor says we should build the new museum
there, a much less accessible location
than the CBD.
Of course, there’s also a third option –
compromise. Last week, we learned Powerhouse
Parramatta has been quietly redesigned
now that most of the collection
will stay in Ultimo. The exhibition space
has been significantly shrunk. There are
also greater setbacks to the river, presumably
to mitigate flood risks.
But if the Powerhouse can be redesigned
once, surely it can be redesigned
twice. How about we return to the original
premise and actually create a museum
on the river that complements Parramatta’s
heritage, instead of destroys it?
And let’s open up historic grounds to
the community and find ways to bring
our heritage alive for new generations,
instead of shutting people behind padlocked
gates. A Powerhouse Parramatta
that keeps Willow Grove and celebrates it
exactly where it is – now that would be a
plot twist.

A missed opportunity
Experienced doctor laments loss of Westmead’s dedicated Palliative Care Unit
NICOLA BARTON
A
former Western Sydney Local Health
District Palliative Care Director is
calling out Westmead Hospital executives
over the demise of its stand-alone
Supportive and Palliative Care Unit.
Dr Phillip Lee worked as a Palliative Care
Specialist at Westmead and later inherited
the role of Director before his retirement
in 2017. During his time at the hospital,
he worked alongside a specialist team of
doctors and nurses who treated complex
palliative patients as experts in pain management,
family counselling and most importantly,
helping those with terminal illnesses
achieve their goals.
“Westmead was at the forefront of the
development of palliative care in Australia
when they established the ward back in the
mid 80’s, it wasn’t even recognised as a specialty
until 1999,” Dr Lee told Parra News.
“As a training hospital the focus was the
complex patients as we had access to the
right specialists.”
Dr Lee recounted the treatment of a complex
patient and said the collaboration of
specialists it required is “something that
Dr Phillip Lee at Westmead Hospital last week. Photo: Wendy Pham.
could only be achieved in a hospital like
Westmead.”
But in 2009 the dedicated palliative care
ward was closed, with the beds transferred
to the cancer ward.
“Since then the palliative care team has
completely lost control and they are no
longer dedicated palliative beds,” he said.
“If a patient from the community needs
to come in for complex palliative care they
have to go to emergency, stay in intensive
care or they get transferred to an unsuitable
ward; it was a flow on effect to the whole
hospital.”
Dr Lee said back when the ward still existed,
they would work directly with community
nurses to have patients transferred
directly to the palliative ward.
Hospitals around the country are expanding
their dedicated palliative care wards.
In NSW Liverpool and Concord Hospitals
have new dedicated wards, with planning
underway for Gosford and Royal North
Shore hospitals.
A WSLHD spokesperson said Westmead
continues to provide excellent palliative
care in its cancer and haematology ward.
“Patients can also be referred to our facility
at Mount Druitt Hospital, which has an
award-winning, purpose-built and specialised
palliative and supportive care service,”
the spokesperson said.
“We have partnered with palliative care
provider Silver Chain to provide in-home
palliative care to patients in western Sydney
who have advanced, progressive and lifelimiting
illnesses.”
Dr Lee said whilst the Mt Druitt ward is
great, he believes it can’t provide the same
level of quality care for complex cases.
“They’ve forgotten the core reason why
the Westmead ward was originally established
and that was to treat the complex patients
that couldn’t be treated elsewhere,”
he said.
A petition for the ward to be reopened can
be found here: https://bit.ly/3l4fnWq.

Desperate families at
The deadly Coronavirus pandemic has impacted us all in one way or another, but
NICOLA BARTON
It’s been over a year since Wentworthville
resident Vikram Manuja has seen
his wife Sudha, after COVID-19 erupted
just as she was scheduled to get back from
a trip to India.
Like over 30,000 other Australians stuck
overseas, the couple have faced many obstacles
in their quest to return home.
From passenger caps and limited flights,
to cancellations after cancellation, the journey
home for many is a complex one.
But these roadblocks have been only
the beginning for the couple, as physical
and mental medical conditions prohibit
Ms Manuja from being able to quarantine
alone.
Despite this, their application for an exemption
to hotel quarantine was denied.
Mr Manuja said the process isn’t fair and
he just wants his wife to be able to come
home safely.
“I am happy to home quarantine with her,
even with those tracking bracelets; we have
no issues in doing that,” he said.
“Even our local doctor agrees she is not fit
to quarantine alone.
“This is not about the money for us it’s
about her health.”
Ms Manuja is currently staying with family
near Delhi who are taking turns in caring
for her.
India has been one of the hardest hit
countries in the world.
The country has had 8.3 million COV-
ID-19 cases and 124,000 deaths.
Whilst cases are currently on a steady
decline, Mr Manuja said he has grave concerns
for his wife’s health.
A NSW Health spokesperson would not
comment specifically on the couple’s case
for ‘privacy reasons’.
“NSW Health and other government
agencies make available medical, mental
health and well-being support for those
staying in quarantine to ensure their stay is
as comfortable as possible,” the spokesperson
said.
“The NSW Health managed Special
Health Accommodation is managed 24/7
by a team of medical, nursing and allied
health clinicians.
“This quarantine option is available to
people who require medical oversight or
higher levels of support during their stay.”
Mr Manuja said their objection was on the

for some, it has left a trail of devastation, stress and no sign of hope emerging
basis that he needs to book a flight before
they can receive the exemption, which is no
easy feat.
He is then concerned that if they are lucky
enough to get on the plane that there won’t
be enough time to get the exemption processed
and she will have to face hotel quarantine,
at risk to her health.
The Federal Government recently announced
eight charter flights to ‘rescue’
around 5000 of those stranded in the United
Kingdom, India and South Africa.
This has received criticism from those
who have had their regular flights cancelled
due to strict passenger caps.
Federal Parramatta MP Julie Owens said
the Morrison Government needs to come
up with a better solution and that these
charter flights “aren’t going to touch the
sides”.
COVID-19 impacts immigration
The pandemic has not only torn apart unlucky
travellers but added to an issue that
has been looming in this country for some
time.
Prior to the pandemic, married couples,
families and the like had been separated for
years, awaiting the approval of their Partner
Visa Applications.

Director of Australian Visa and Migration
Consultancy Services in Harris Park, Sanjay
Deshwal said this backlog is a huge issue in
the Parramatta Indian community and is
only worsening as a result of the pandemic.
“I have clients who got married in 2013
or 2014 and their spouses are sill in Bangladesh
and now with COVID-19 they can’t
even see them,” he said.
Abdul Mur is one of Mr Deshwal’s clients
and married his wife in 2009. He applied for
a Partner Visa in 2013 and still awaits its approval.
“My wife and two kids are in Bangladesh
waiting but they are from Burma and so
they are there illegally, hiding; it is very dangerous
for them,” he told Parra News.
Mr Mur fears he won’t see his family for
many more years.
A spokesperson from the Department of
Home Affairs confirmed there would be
delays.
“Some applicants may currently have difficulty
providing requested checks, such as
health, character or biometrics, because
these services may be unavailable in their
country,” the spokesperson said.
Priority will be given to Partner Visa applicants
already in Australia.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the reopening

“I want to thank the community, particularly
in our border towns, for their patience
during what has been an extremely

“We have worked closely with the Victorian
Government throughout the border
closure and will continue to monitor the
situation as restrictions are eased.
“Our policy in NSW is to keep moving
forward and operating in a COVID-Safe
manner – the reopening of the NSW/Victorian
border is another step in the right
direction.”
Health Minister Brad Hazzard added:
“This will be good riddance to a border

Channing Tatum
and the entire team
behind ‘Magic Mike
Live’ are bringing
the hit production to
Australia.
‘Magic Mike Live’ will have its
Australian Premiere in Sydney
from Thursday, December 17 at the
Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park.
This Premiere season will be the
first production around the world to
return to the stage after international
lockdown.
Conceived and directed by Channing
Tatum, ‘Magic Mike Live’ is a
thrilling 360-degree live dance and
acrobatic spectacular based on the
hit movies ‘Magic Mike’ and ‘Magic
Mike XXL’. Equal parts empowering
and exhilarating, ‘Magic Mike Live’
is one of the most unique, immersive
live-entertainment experiences in the
world.
The films were adored by Australian
audiences and fans will be thrilled to
see the show live on stage – they won’t
be disappointed.
Creator and director Channing
Tatum said he was excited about the
show landing down under.
“The morning after we opened our
first production in Vegas four years
ago, we all talked about the crazy
idea of someday putting ‘Magic Mike
Live’ in a tent and travelling around
Australia. The fact that it’s actually
happening now is mind-blowing to
me. The tent and this new version of
the show is more than I ever imagined
it could be and I can’t wait for our fans
in Australia to see what we’ve created
especially for them,” he said.
‘Magic Mike Live’ will perform in the
world’s largest Spiegeltent, named The
Arcadia, specifically designed and
built for Australian audiences.
This beautiful two storey Spiegeltent
with a glass lobby, custom bars, a mini
food hall, an indoor/outdoor lounge
area has been configured to ensure
the comfort and safety of all patrons.

CHOOSING THE
BEST HEDGING
PLANTS
By Kim Richardson, Marketing Communications
A hedge can be the perfect way to
finish a garden – but with so many
choices out there, where do you
start? We’ve narrowed it down to 5
top picks that will thrive in Sydney
gardens.
If you need a reliable, lowgrowing
hedge, buxus could be
your perfect match. This popular
plant is well-known for its compact
growth habit, which is ideal for
achieving a formal look.
With abundant cream blooms
appearing from spring right
through to autumn, you’ll often
smell a gardenia before you see it.
It’s a truly rewarding hedge to grow
with its rich perfume and glossy
foliage.
Murraya is another scented garden
sensation. Clusters of small but
delightfully fragrant white flowers
appear against its evergreen leaves
from spring through to autumn.
After a lush and glossy green
hedge in a hurry? Fast-growing
favourite viburnum
odoratissimum is ideal – plus, you’ll
enjoy tiny, scented flowers
all through spring.
For the ultimate fast-growing
screen, tall and bushy lilly pilly just
can’t be beaten. This hardy native
will block out prying eyes in
a jiffy.
Before you choose your perfect
hedging plant, consider
positioning, sunlight and soil
requirements. If you’re unsure,
chat with an expert before you get
started.
Happy gardening!

Call to cool our schools
Research reveals surface temperatures can soar to 70 degrees during summer
NICOLA BARTON
Western Sydney University researchers
measured playground
surface temperatures of up to 70
degrees last summer, with a report now
calling on local schools to consider their
cooling strategies.
The ‘School Microclimates’ report assessed
a public school in western Sydney in
the first comprehensive assessment of outdoor
heat on school grounds.
Last summer researchers collected more
than 100,000 heat data points within the
school whilst also comparing the temperatures
of sunlit and shaded ground coverings.
Their investigations revealed unshaded
surfaces, including asphalt, reach up to 70
degrees Celsius.
Lead researcher Dr Sebastian Pfautsch,
from Western Sydney University’s School of
Social Sciences said the report represents
the first evidence-based design and building
guidelines to address outdoor heat at
school.
“Our summers are becoming increasingly
hot,” he said.
New research has revealed just how hot outdoor areas at schools can get during summer.
“To ensure students can benefit from time
spent outdoors, there is a need to better understand
the microclimates of our schools
and to develop strategies to cool these environments
down.”
The study found that avoiding artificial
grass in unshaded spaces, shading black asphalt,
allowing natural air flows and using
shade materials with highly reflective upper
surfaces, should all be standard design
and building guidelines for schools.
Interestingly, the report found the lowest
air and surface temperatures were recorded
under tree canopies, with cooling benefits
dependent on tree species, canopy size and
availability of soil moisture.
Co-author Professor Michelle Leishman
from Macquarie University’s Department
of Biological Science said the research has
highlighted the importance of tree canopies
in schools for cooling.
“Trees not only provide shade but also act
as ‘green air-conditioners’ through evaporative
cooling,” she said.
“It’s our happy place.
It’s home.”

Protecting our history
Do not disturb: Light Rail construction will avoid disrupting key burial sites
NICOLA BARTON
Unmarked graves near Parramatta’s
historic St Patrick’s Cemetery will
be protected as the Parramatta
Light Rail Project shifts design plans to
ensure what lies beneath remains undisturbed.
Following underground exploration and
archaeological testing, the project has undergone
a significant redesign to ensure it
side-steps five suspected burial sites.
The cemetery is the final resting place of
many Catholic convicts and exiled Irish
rebels, as well as early Irish priests of Parramatta,
numerous inmates of early institutions
including the Female Factory, the
Military Barracks, the Benevolent Asylum,
the Roman Catholic and Presbyterian Orphan
Schools, the Lunatic Asylum, Invalid
Asylum, Sydney and Parramatta Hospitals
and the Poor House.
The site in question is outside of the cemetery’s
modern-day bounds.
Parramatta MP Geoff Lee said significant
archaeological testing has allowed them to
redesign the plans around the burial sites
before construction commences.
Construction of the Light Rail will side-step suspected burial sites.
“This beautiful old graveyard has a rich
and complicated history, including borders
that have moved over the centuries,”
he said.
“Although this particular portion of land
has not been part of the cemetery since the
1930s, it is important that our work treads
lightly and nowhere is this more important
than this peaceful and historic site.”
Dr Lee said construction of the Parramatta
Light Rail has been designed to reduce
any impact to suspected burial sites from
earlier phases of the cemetery.
“Our light rail team came up with solutions
including design and construction
methods that minimise ground excavation
and a custom-made pavement as shallow
as 100 millimetres, so as not to disturb what
might lie beneath,” he said.
“There is always potential for light rail
work to encounter human remains, and
this is why we have protocols in place to
manage any discovery and ensure the sensitive
handling and appropriate recording
of what is found.”
Light rail works are moving north across
the street from the 19th-century cemetery
at the junction of Pennant Hills Road and
Church Street, North Parramatta.

Measuring the impact
New study will determine how much pressure COVID-19 has put on local councils
NICOLA BARTON
A
new study will put both Parramatta
and the Cumberland under a micro-
Scope, assessing the socio-economic
impact of COVID-19.
The ‘Future Directions’ project will look at
the pandemic’s impact on a range of western
Sydney councils including Parramatta,
Cumberland, Blacktown and The Hills
Shire.
Western Sydney University has been engaged
as the research team, with sponsorship
by Westpac.
Researchers predict the damage caused
by the pandemic will ripple through national
and state economies, having its greatest
impact at a local level. The Australian Catholic
University will also provide peer review
and research oversight of the project.
Cumberland City Mayor, Steve Christou
said the research will mould the delivery
of future programs for both residents and
businesses.
“We will respond decisively and innovatively
together to achieve the desired socioeconomic
outcomes for our region,” he
said.
Parramatta City Lord Mayor, Bob Dwyer
said his council would continue its support
that it has delivered throughout the
pandemic with the $3 million COVID-19
Community Resilience and Economic Relief
Package.
“While the impact of COVID-19 has hit us
hard, City of Parramatta Council remains
committed to helping our great City, and
the rest of the Central City district, emerge
from this pandemic stronger and more resilient
than ever,” he said.
The study will examine eight socio-economic
‘influencers’ of the district’s economy
over the next decade.
The research will also consider significant
international trends and seek input from a
range of stakeholders from the public sector,
peak bodies and business.
Research work is already underway, with
an expected final report to be delivered by
February next year.
The ‘Future directions’ research study will
be made public once finalised.
How do you believe the COVID-19 pandemic
has impacted your local council
area? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Labor’s stadium victory
Opposition says it has scored a win to strengthen processes around development
NICOLA BARTON
Any plans for development surrounding
Bankwest Stadium will
have to pass through Parliament,
after a Bill amendment to remove this provision
was blocked by Labor and members
of the crossbench recently.
The legislation for the Sporting Venues
Authorities Bill, which passed in the NSW
Upper House, will ensure a range of sporting
venues including Bankwest Stadium
will be under a single management board.
The original changes to the Bill, proposed
by the State Government, would have allowed
the Minister for Sport to approve
commencement of the development planning
process through the usual Environmental
Planning and Assessment Act processes.
Auburn MP and Shadow Minister for
Sport, Lynda Voltz said this was a “poor
attempt” by the State Government to “slip
changes through the Parliament”.
“With support of the crossbench, Labor
removed provisions from the Bill which
may have unleashed residential and commercial
development,” she said.
Shadow Sports Minister Lynda Voltz at Bankwest Stadium. Photo: Wendy Pham.
“The current provision remains – requiring
the government to bring any proposal
for residential or commercial hotel development
on Venues land back to the
Parliament. Labor was also successful in
removing the Berejiklian Government’s attempted
attack on the Sydney Olympic Park
Authority – which would have seen its assets
carved up under the proposed legislation.”
Bankwest Stadium, Sydney Cricket
Ground, Olympic venues, Wollongong Stadium
and Newcastle Sporting Precinct are
all protected by legislation.
“These changes will ensure sport and the
community’s interests will always come
first in our sporting precincts,” Ms Voltz
said.
Acting Minister for Sport Geoff Lee defended
the State Government’s original
amendment, stating all development applications
would still have to go through safeguarded
planning processes.
“Any assertion that the Sporting Venues
Authorities (Venues NSW) Bill would have
given the Minister for Sport the opportunity
to approve development is completely
false,” he said.
“The Sporting Venues Authorities (Venues
NSW) Act will deliver huge benefits to
NSW, as we aim to create better usage of
our sporting precincts with a mix of retail,
restaurants, and businesses where appropriate.
“This will encourage the venues and their
surroundings to be used seven days a week,
not just on game days.”

Chance to stop
and remember
NICOLA BARTON
Whilst we will commemorate a little
differently this year, the community
is reminded to pause and
reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice
this Remembrance Day.
Tomorrow, members from the Merrylands
RSL Sub-Branch will host a humble
wreath laying ceremony at Charles Mance
Reserve on Newman Street, Merrylands.
In attendance will be Granville MP Julia
Finn, Cumberland Mayor Steve Christou
and Deputy Mayor Eddy Sarkis alongside
Sub-Branch members.
Merrylands RSL Sub-Branch President,
Rob Grimley said they will still conduct the
usual wreath laying ceremony, just with a
restricted number of 50 attendees.
“In a normal year the Sub-Branch runs
two services, one on the Sunday before
where there is a march, service and luncheon
and on Remembrance Day itself there
is a service at Merrylands Memorial Park,
which is usually conducted by the local
school with several hundred students in attendance,”
he said.
“Unfortunately, these can’t go ahead this
year.”
Mr Grimley said it has been a difficult year
for the Sub-Branch as they face many disruptions
due to COVID-19.
“There’s been a lot of disruption this year,
even to our regular Sub-Branch meetings,
we’ve only had three meetings this year, by
now we normally would have had at least
nine,” he said.
Members of the community are being encouraged
to take a moment to pause and
reflect as part of RSL NSW’s national Remember
to Remember campaign.
They are asking people to pause for one
minute in their homes, schools or workplaces
at 11am tomorrow on Wednesday,
November 11 to remember and honour the
memory of all Australians who served, are
currently serving, and those who died or
suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.
The traditional Poppy Appeal, a major
fundraising period for RSL NSW, that has
seen Poppies being sold by veterans and
other community groups around the State
for almost 100 years, will move to a dedicated
online platform for the first time, due
to COVID-19 restrictions and related concerns
for the overall health and wellbeing of
RSL NSW members.

Issue is starting to bite
Confusion over exactly who’s in charge of Duck River mosquito drama
NICOLA BARTON
Local parents are calling for more to
be done about a mosquito infestation
of Parramatta’s Duck River.
Residents, particularly in areas such as
Rydalmere, Ermington, Meadowbank and
Newington are said to be the worst affected.
ParraParents group organiser, Kellie Darley
has been investigating the issue with an
expert in the field, who detected a population
of about 30,000 mosquitos in the Duck
River earlier this year.
Ms Darley said the issue is a hot topic
amongst parents, with concerns it is deterring
families from enjoying the outdoors.
“I’ve had people tell me they can’t even
hang their clothes on the clothesline because
they just get swamped with mozzies,”
she told Parra News.
“Silverwater Park, which is where Duck
River comes out, was a no-go zone for the
whole of summer last year.
“Sydney Olympic Park wetlands were
sprayed when it had a population of only
1000 but the Duck River lacks a management
plan because it goes through multiple
council areas.”
Mosquitos are causing havoc for many locals.
A City of Parramatta Council spokesperson
said it is not the authority that manages
Duck River, however operates a surveillance
program in partnership with Westmead
Entomology that aims to detect the
early presence of any viruses, such as Barmah
Forest, Stratford, and Edge Hill, in the
mosquito populations across the Parramatta
Local Government Area.
NSW Health Pathology Associate Professor
Cameron Webb said the risk of mosquito-borne
diseases is extremely low along
the Parramatta River, despite the often high
numbers of mosquitoes.
“The greatest risk associated with mosquitoes
in the local area is primarily nuisancebiting,
however, many people can have
nasty reactions,” he said.
Associate Professor Webb said the best
way to treat mosquito bites is to use an ice
compression, anti-itch medication and to
make sure the area remains clean to avoid
secondary infection.
He advises avoiding outdoor activities
close to wetland at dusk and dawn, particularly
after high tide or substantial rainfall.
Long sleeved shirts, long pants, and covered
shoes also provide physical protection
as well as topical insect repellents.
The last NSW Health report for Parramatta,
as part of the NSW Arbovirus Surveillance
and Mosquito Monitoring Program,
was undertaken in March. This report recorded
a “very high” mosquito rating in the
Local Government Area.
In an attempt to find the managing authority,
Parra News was passed through
council and multiple government agencies,
all of which said they weren’t in charge of
the issue. The responsibility of the river lies
under a variety of stakeholders and Ms Darley
said this highlights why the issue has remained
un-managed for some time.

LOCAL NEWS
Meet true local heroes
Grant funding will help inspiring work in the local community to continue
NICOLA BARTON

Three incredible individuals have
been recognised as part of Westfield’s
annual Local Heroes grant
program.
Parramatta’s three grant recipients include
Accessible Diversity Service’s Alison
Jones who works with refugee youth, Jason
Sotiris who provides sick children with free
medical-grade superhero garments and
Louise Borg who is a long-time volunteer of
the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Each inspiring individual will receive a
$10,000 grant, which will be put towards
their cause.
Mr Sotiris, who came up with the idea for
‘Supertees’ after his one-year-old baby was
diagnosed with a rare type of cancer, said he
felt extremely grateful to be a recipient and
that the funding will be used towards establishing
a volunteer program to help them
expand further.
“We aim to help little heroes fight the big
battles,” he said.
Ms Borg, who also works with sick children,
has volunteered for the Western Sydney
branch of the Make-A-Wish Foundation
for 18 years. She is currently the branch
President.
Over the years, she has brought joy to
many families and children with serious
illnesses by pulling out all the stops to fulfil
their wish.
“When you give a child a wish, the smile
and appreciation and joy that you see from
the whole family is so special; they’ve gone
through so much, so to see that joy is really
fulfilling,” she said.
She said her grant money will be used to
fulfil more wishes.
Ms Jones, who works with newly arrived
refugee youth, goes above and beyond to
help them access employment and education
opportunities here in Australia.
Her Learn to Swim program provides Islamic
girls with a private and safe space
to learn to swim, socialise and improve
their physical and emotional well-being. It
also caters for boys. Several students have
trained as swimming instructors, and 14
have been employed so far.
“It allows them to feel really supported
whilst making friends, practicing English
and feeling valued as people and allows
them to become financially independent
with a job,” she said.
The money will be used to fund more
swimming lessons and to buy burkinis for
those who cannot afford them.
This year over $1.2 million has been
awarded to 126 individuals to help them
continue making a difference. Recipients
of these grants are nominated by and voted
for by their local communities.

Youth Forum
Young people have borne the brunt of this crisis and

response more than any other age group.
I’m hosting online youth forums to give young people
in our community a platform to have their say on these
issues. I’ll be co-hosting the first one with the Shadow
Minister for Youth, Amanda Rishworth at 7:00pm on

DIWALI FESTIVAL FEATURE
The Diwali Festival is always full of colour and celebration.
A
colourful festival of lights, dancing,
music and of course, delicious
Indian food is what Diwali is all
about but this year the event will be celebrated
differently.
In recent years, the main street of Parramatta’s
‘Little India’ business hub in
Harris Park was closed to make way for
80,000 revellers who joined together in
the spirit of Diwali.
Festival stores, performances and the
smell of street food filled the streets as
the biggest public celebration of Diwali in
Australia.
But with the pandemic still rife, Organiser
and President of the Little India Harris
Park Business Association Sanjay Deshwal
said this year will not be the same as
previous events.
“This year businesses and homes will
still decorate with lights but no festival
can go ahead,” he told Parra News.
Diwali is a Hindu-originated festival,
celebrated by the Indian community.
Mr Deshwal said Diwali is comparable
to Christmas for the Indian community
and is a time for families to come together
to share sweets and gifts.
“Diwali is the biggest Indian festival, it is
the festival of light and is a celebration of
light and good,” he said.
“It actually represents the changing of
seasons in India and is one of the darkest
nights on the lunar calendar and in a
prehistoric time lord Rama returned to his
native place after defeating the enemies;
it symbolises good over evil and a fresh
new start.”
Mr Deshwal said the Indian community
is feeling the impact of COVID-19.
“People will celebrate quietly this year
which is sad,” he said.
In previous years many political figures
have attended Harris Park for Diwali celebrations
including State Opposition
Leader Jodi McKay, Premier Gladys Berejiklian
as well as local MPs such as Federal
Parramatta MP Julie Owens, State
Parramatta MP Geoff Lee and Parramatta
Mayor Bob Dwyer.
Mr Deshwal said the support over the
years from the broader community, not
just the Indian community is heartening
to see and is a reflection of multicultural
Parramatta. Whilst the festival will not go
ahead this year, businesses will still decorate
their stores in fairy lights which will
be displayed over the next four weeks.
Businesses will still decorate with lights
this year.
Mr Deshwal encouraged the community
to come and support the Harris Park
Little India businesses who have been impacted
significantly during this difficult
time.

A MESSAGE FROM SENATOR MARISE PAYNE
Happy Diwali!
14 November marks the beginning of the festival of lights, faith and prosperity
for many Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists around the world, including our
many friends in India.
On the darkest night of the month and in a year of unprecedented and
collective global challenges, Diwali sends a powerful message of light
overcoming darkness.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the health, wellbeing and security of
many of us. By working together, surrounded by illuminating Diwali lights, we
will get through this time of hardship.
I wish everyone a very Happy Diwali - may the festival of lights continue to unite
families, communities and people of different faiths for generations to come.

AQUARIUS
JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19
With Mercury and the New Moon stimulating
your career zone, start thinking
about strategic ways to create work opportunities
and maximise your professional
potential. It’s a good week to apply
for a job or get feedback from your current
boss, colleagues, clients or customers.
So shake off any lingering self-doubt
and buckle on your invincibility jacket
Aquarius! Confidence and persistence
are the keys to employment satisfaction
in the coming year.
HOROSCOPES
BROUGHT TO YOU BY BOHO ASTRO - JOANNE MADELINE MOORE
Daily posts at www.bohoastro.com | twitter @JoMadelineMoore | © Joanne Madeline Moore 2020
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
Are you satisfied with your current trajectory?
This week Jupiter, Pluto and
the New Moon activate your aspirations
zones, plus the Sun forms a fabulous
aspect with your ruler Neptune (in
your sign). So it’s a fortuitous time to redesign
your dreams, refresh your future,
and transform an important part of your
life. Draw inspiration from painter and
Scorpio birthday great Georgia O’Keeffe.
“I decided to start anew, to strip away
what I had been taught.”
ARIES
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20
Expect some ups and downs this week.
There’s a powerful New Moon in your
transformation zone that could lead to
positive changes. But your ruler Mars
is still reversing through your sign until
Friday night (London time) which can
cause lethargy and lack of motivation.
Try to keep things in perspective. Be
inspired by music legend (and birthday
great) Neil Young. “As you go through
life, you’ve got to see the valleys as well
as the peaks.”
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
The New Moon (in your sign) boosts
your natural charisma and propels you
forward with plenty of purpose. And
the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction magnifies
your ability to connect with other people
in deep and meaningful ways. But
remember – you can choose to be powerful
and passionate or compulsive and
controlling. If you’re a smart Scorpio,
then you’ll choose the path of least resistance
as you channel your energy into
positive and productive projects.
TAURUS
APRIL 21 TO MAY 21
GEMINI
MAY 22 TO JUNE 21
CANCER
JUNE 22 TO JULY 22
LEO
JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
Lady Luck is on your side but abstract
ideas must be transformed into practical
projects, and you’ll need the input
of others to get things moving. (And
remember there’s a fine line between
divine dreams and disappointing delusions.)
The current buzz words are
companionship and cooperation, as you
concentrate on the needs of loved ones.
But is a close relationship stuck on autopilot?
The New Moon urges you to reconnect
with each other.
Some vigorous physical exercise will
help you bounce through the week with
extra Gemini gusto and enthusiasm. But
if you don’t communicate clearly on
Monday, then misunderstandings are
likely (especially with a child, teenager
or close friend). Mercury moves into
your sign mid-week, which gives you
the motivation to put ideas into practice.
Whereas the weekend New Moon signals
a fresh start involving health, work
habits or pets.
Jupiter, Pluto and the New Moon shine
a bright spotlight on partnerships of the
romantic, platonic, business and family
variety. You are entering a period of nurturing
old relationships and establishing
new ones. So it’s a wonderful time to focus
on friendships, shared hobbies, joint
ventures and having fun. As writer (and
birthday great) Robert Louis Stevenson
observed “A friend is a gift you give yourself.”
But tread carefully with an impatient
colleague.
Many Lions are in for a lively week, as
the Sun (your power planet) forms fabulous
aspects with Neptune, Pluto and Jupiter.
So it’s time to be the creative, flamboyant
and feisty person you were born
to be. That doesn’t mean there won’t be
problems, challenges or dramas along
the way. But it does mean that your positive
attitude and natural enthusiasm will
bolster your spirits and enhance the
lives of those around you. So prepare to
sparkle and shine!
VIRGO
AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
LIBRA
SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20
Jupiter and Pluto encourage you to contribute
more of your time and talents
to your local community. Social media
is also favoured as you text, tweet, post,
podcast or publish your ideas to an appreciative
audience. Communicating
your thoughts and feelings in a direct
and honest way will help relationships
move in a positive direction. Aim for a
mental spring-clean on the weekend,
when the New Moon helps you find a
fresh solution to an old problem.
Pluto and Jupiter highlight a house
move, renovation, real estate sale or
family gathering. But you’ll need to be
extra diplomatic with a grumpy loved
one. The weekend New Moon indicates
a major turnaround to do with money
matters or self-esteem issues. Keep an
open mind, as you absorb fresh financial
information or road-test a new fashion
or beauty trend. But remember Libra …
you are lovable for who you are (not what
you look like or how much you earn).
Prosperity planet Jupiter (your ruler)
pairs up with resourceful Pluto in your
finance zone. So some lucky Sagittarians
will score a new job, initiate a
smart business deal or make some extra
money this week. However you’re also
in the mood to spend! Try to show some
restraint, otherwise you’ll go from princess
(or prince) to pauper in a flash. On
the weekend, take the time to relax and
appreciate the power and promise of the
magical New Moon.
This week don’t hesitate to grab opportunities
when they appear. If you
maintain motivation and are passionately
proactive, then your life will move
in promising new directions. With the
New Moon activating your hopes and
wishes zone, it’s also time to review and
re-imagine your goals and aspirations,
especially within a group, class, club or
organisation. But resist the urge to be
possessive of loved ones or controlling
with work colleagues.

EMILY FESZCZUK
Since the release of her 2017 debut
album, Australian singersongwriter
Caitlyn Shadbolt has
been working to polish her popcountry
sound.
Her new album, ‘Stages’, was released on
November 6 and is available to download
and purchase now.
From being a finalist on ‘The X Factor
Australia’, Caitlyn’s first album ‘Songs on my
Sleeve’ hit number one on the ARIA Country
Album Chart.
A former CMC Award winner for Best New
Artist, Caitlyn said her new album highlights
her evolving musical career.
“It feels like I have been working for a lifetime,
but I am only in my twenties, so I am
still learning and working out who I am as
a person and an artist,” Caitlyn told Parra
News.
“‘Stages’ is quite literally about the stages
of my life and the different sides of me – the
bubbly, happy, sappy side but also the more
serious, deep thinker part of me.”
Recording the album socially distanced
during the COVID-19 lockdown, Caitlyn
said it was a welcome distraction.
“I recorded at home just as lockdown hit,
which was a cool experience where I engineered
all my vocals and acoustic guitar,
then sent them to my producer Stuart Stuart
in Brisbane and we collaborated over
the phone,” she said.
“Lockdown was actually a nice opportunity
to take a break from the hustle of the
industry, but it was great to have a creative
project to sink my teeth into and not be
stuck with my thoughts for the whole time.”
Influenced by her musical inspirations,
Caitlyn said the album, which includes her
new single ‘Edge of the Earth’, has a diverse
sound.
“It has that typical pop-country Taylor
Swift sound but then there is also more
mellow acoustic Kacey Musgraves, John
Mayer type of songs,” she said.
“I wrote the single with Sarah Buckley
about being adventurous and quite literally
pushing boundaries until the edge of
the Earth and it has such a fresh, uplifting
sound.”
Caitlyn said she is excited to share the
album with everyone and hopes they can
hear how she has grown in recent years.
“The beautiful thing about country music
is the stories it tells, and I love being able to
share a collection of my thoughts and feelings
with people,” she said.
“I want to share the sides of myself which
have evolved but to also connect with listeners
through the similar emotions we all
experience in life.”
Caitlyn Shadbolt’s album ‘Stages’ was
released on Friday, November 6. Get it

At the movies...
Sequel falls flat
THE CRAFT: LEGACY
1 hour, 34 minutes
EMILY FESZCZUK
If you were like me and loved
the edgy 1996 cult film ‘The Craft’,
you might have had high hopes
for the sequel, especially as it
is produced by horror experts
Blumhouse Productions.
‘The Craft: Legacy’ starts strong
and the continuation story sees
Lily (Cailee Spaeny) and her
mum Helen (Michelle Monaghan)
move to be with her new
boyfriend (David Duchovny).
Lily meets three new friends
with powers and the teenagers
form a coven with their witchcraft
proving deadly.
The basic spell remains the
same, but the magic of the original
seems to be missing even
though there are nods to it
throughout.
Writer and director Zoe Lister-
Jones is progressive with socially
and politically aware characters
but when you must announce
that one of them is transgender, it
feels like you are trying too hard.
There isn’t a lot of spells being
cast or scary scenes for that
matter, rather it deals with more
modern issues of sexuality and
feminism.
If you are a fan of the first film,
you will probably wish the cauldron
didn’t get re-lit.

TV NEWS
I wanted to confess something... a
few weeks ago I predicted ‘SAS Australia’
would be a flop for Channel Seven and
I was wrong. Not only do I think ‘SAS’ is
the show of the year, but it is doing gangbusters
for Seven. It’s already the most
watched show ever on the 7Plus app,
and it’s giving ‘The Block’ a run for its
money on broadcast too. A sneaky tip for
‘SAS’ lovers, if you watch via 7Plus, you
can view an uncensored version of each
episode, which has all the profanity in it.
‘SAS Australia’ airs Monday and Tuesday
nights.

Leg’ are currently airing on ABC Comedy,

lockdown in Melbourne, hosting a virtual
version of the show. ‘The Last Leg’ airs

One of the most overrated comedy
shows of all time, ‘Saturday Night Live’,
is back on FOX8 every Saturday night at
8.30pm. While this show is legendary and
has launched countless careers, I know
I’m not the only one that doesn’t find it
funny.

has been renewed for a second season by
Netflix. The series is based on the popular
book series by Ann M. Martin.

Ted Lasso, a small-time college football

Double success for Dundas United
NATHAN TAYLOR
Dundas United Recreation
Club are still celebrating
after two of their football
teams enjoyed an extraordinary finish
to their respective seasons last
month.
Dundas United’s U16 Division 3
team not only took out the Minor Premiership
for an outstanding regular
season, but they were also crowned
Grand Champions following a 2-1
win over the Wenty Waratahs on October
17.
Meanwhile, Dundas United’s Youth
team – made up of talented male
players aged 17 to 18-years-old – also
won the Grand Championship, overcoming
arch-rivals Rydalmere FC 3-2
in a thrilling Final.
According to Dundas United Soccer
Competition Secretary Tina Hatchman,
it’s been a decade since the
club, which plays in the Granville &
Districts Soccer Football Association,
have won two Grand Championships
in the same season.
“Our club is very small, only 172
players. This year we had just six
teams in the competition and all
six qualified for the Finals, with two
reaching and winning the Grand Final,”
she told Parra News.
“The club is so very proud of both
teams for becoming Grand Champions.
“We usually lose a lot of kids from
this age group, but these kids were
dedicated and played very well. They
made the club extremely proud.”
Making the occasion even more
special for Hatchman was the fact her
son, Lucas, played a huge role in the
success of both teams this season.
Not only was Lucas Hatchman the
coach of Dundas United’s successful
U16’s team, but he was a player in the
championship-winning Youth team
as well.
“He actually won Coach of the Year
this year because not only did he
coach the U16’s to Grand Final glory,
but he also coached and managed his
own Youth team and got them to a
Grand Final as well,” Hatchman said.
The club will now enjoy the offseason
before doing it all again next
winter.
Dundas United’s Grand Championship-winning U16 Division 3 team celebrate.
Dundas United’s Youth team were also crowned Grand Champions following a thrilling win.
