News from Geof’s Birds

Earlier this year a few of the Home Island oldies were talking about a Parrot that flew daily from the big house to the trees behind the hospital. This will be the bird , an oriental Dollarbird. There were three birds on Home and two birds on West. The West Island birds are at Johnny’s banana farm, which is this photo. These guys eat grasshoppers and other big bugs, hopefully wasps. They migrate here every year to get away from the Northern hemisphere’s winter.

MAJU PULU KITA MASTER PLAN: We are so very excited to advise that at the April Council meeting, Council approved the release of the draft Maju Pulu Kita Master Plan for public comment. This document, that has emerged from hours of community input and advice, is available on the Shire website for anyone who would like to comment. Alternatively, a hard copy can be collected from the Shire office on Home Island or West Island. We are also are happy to send a copy to anyone who requests one. At this same meeting Council allocated funds towards the following community priority Master Plan projects:

Sandy Point Upgrades: Another shelter, tables and chairs, Public Art, lighting, refurbish BBQ, and new toilet. We are also purchasing a floating wheelchair and roller mat for disability access to the beach.

Recycling Equipment - Home Island: A new glass crusher and can bailer to mirror the recycling system on West Island.

Cyclone Shelter Steps Cinema: our very own outdoor cinema on Home Island with a large, cinema sized screen, projector and sound system.

Public Toilets - Yacht Club: The existing one toilet struggled during last season so we are adding another.

Pumptrack Central Park: An ideal skatepark for coral atolls. This project is a testament to the hard work of the CIDHS Senior Leaders who have worked very hard to make their dream a reality.

With the $400,000 funding allocation from Council and an anticipated co-contribution of $200,000 from the RDO, we are working hard to get the materials on the May ship so that work on installation can start in the new financial year. We look forward to delivering these community focused projects—this long list will keep us busy next year.

MAJU PULU KITA MASTER PLAN: Kami sangat

May supaya pemasangan akan bermula ditahun keuwangan baru. Kami menunggukan untuk menyelesaikan projek-projek yang khas datangnya daripada masyarakat, untuk masyarakat—daftar yang panjang ini akan menetapkan kesibokan kita ditahun hadapan.

APRIL COUNCIL MEETING: At the April Council meeting on West Island we were pleased to have so many interested members of the public in attendance. Council adopted two new policies; a South End Commercial Activities Policy, and a Caretaker Dwelling Policy. Council also determined that the area for the application of Local Laws will extend 200m into the lagoon so that the waters close to the shore can be managed under the Shire’s Local Laws. Approval was also provided for the Shire to advertise for tenders for the construction of a house on Home Island. Once tenders are received and we have firm costs, Council can assess whether or not it has the financial capacity to build a new house.

MITINGAN COUNCIL BULAN APRIL: Pada mitingan Council dibulan April di Pulu Panjang, kami sangat bersenang hati yang banyak orang-orang dari masyarakat yang berminat untuk hadir. Council menerima dua policy baru, South End Commercial Activities Policy, dan Caretaker Dwelling Policy. Council juga memutuskan yang kawasan untuk applikasen Undang-undang Tempatan akan diluaskan hingga 200m kedalam lagoon supaya lautan yang rapat di pantai akan boleh diawasi menurut Undang-undang Tempatan Shire. Kelulusan juga diberikan untuk Shire mengadvertais untuk tender pembangunan rumah di Home Island. Setelah tender diterima dan kita mendapatkan ongkos tetap, Council akan boleh mempertimbangkan apakah ia mempunyai kapasiti keuwangan untuk membuat rumah baru.

ANZAC DAY: Despite the wet and windy morning, it was heartening to see so many people join us for the Anzac Day dawn service. As always the morning was filled with deep reflection and gratitude. Thank you to everyone who took part in the service for making it so meaningful. Thanks also to RAAF, the Cocos Club and North Park for the food and camaraderie throughout the day.

ANZAC DAY: Walaupun pagi yang kehujanan dan angin kuat, ia sangat menyenangkan hati untuk melihat bergitu banyak orang yang hadir untuk serbis pagi Anzac Day. Seperti biasa pagi ini mengandungi renungan dalam dan rasa terhutang budi. Terima kasih kepada semua yang mengambil bahgian dalam serbis ini untuk membuatnya sangat bermakna. Terima kasih juga kepada RAAF, Cocos Club dan North Park untuk menyediakan makanan dan persahabatan sepanjang hari ini.

SNAP SEND SOLVE: We want to make it easy for community members to report issues they see—wasp nests, road hazards, faulty equipment or any range of

App ini akan mengambil lokasi GPS dan bila kamu ada dikawasan, kirim gambar itu kepada kami, dengan atau tanpa komen, melalui app. App ini menyenangkan kamu untuk tetap berhubungan dengan kami dan untuk kami mengambil tindakkan terhadap perkara-perkara yang dilaporkan.

DIRECTION ISLAND RESORT PROPOSAL: As many of you would know 23 representatives of the community joined a Community Reference Group (CRG) to discuss the proposal from Cocos Boronia Resort for Direction Island. The CRG reviewed all materials and got information/advice from a panel of experts in the areas of Environment, Infrastructure, Tourism, Economic Development and Culture/Heritage. They discussed and debated the proposal and offered recommendations to Council. The input from the CRG has been combined with public submissions received on the proposal into one report which is available on the Shire’s website. Hard copies of the report can also be picked up at the Shire office. I would like to acknowledge the members of the CRG for giving up a full day to participate in this important decision. The request from Cocos Boronia Resort will be considered by Council at the May Council meeting.

CADANGAN RESORT DI PULU TIKUS: Sepertimana yang ramai sudah tau, 23 wakil-wakil daripada masyarakat bersatu dalam Community Reference Group (CRG) untuk membincangkan cadangan dari Cocos Boronia Resort untuk Pulu Tikus. CRG memeriksa semua perkara-perkara dan mendapat keterangan/nasihat daripada panel ahli dalam bahgian Alam Sekitar,

3/05/2019 Page 5

FROM THE CEO’S DESK ‐ 18 APRIL 2019 ( )

Infrastructure, Pelancongan, Perkembangan Ekonomik dan Kebudayaan/Warisan. Mereka membincangkan dan saling memberi timbangan mengenai cadangan ini dan menawarkan nasihat kepada Council. Pendapatan daripada CRG telah disatukan dengan pandangan yang diterima melalui surat kedalam satu laporan yang boleh didapati daripada website Shire. Salinan laporan ini boleh juga didapati daripada opis Shire. Saya ingin bersuarakan penghargaan saya kepada memba-memba dalam CRG yang telah mengorbankan masa mereka untuk mengambil bahgian dalam keputusan yang penting ini. Pemintaan daripada Cocos Boronia Resort akan dipertimbangkan oleh Council dimitingan pada bulan May.

SOUTH END ROAD: We realise that for many people the closure of the South End Road is very inconvenient and frustrating. We therefore do not make that decision lightly. We are trying to balance community and tourism needs with safety and risk and good management of our assets. As you will see from the photos taken during the recent closure, much of the road was under water for most of the time with water levels reaching the door during some periods. Driving on flooded or saturated roads causes significant damage to roads as tyres push water off the road, the water takes the road surface with it creating new potholes and worsening existing potholes. On Cocos, we are not easily able to replace the surface material and repair pot holes as road building materials (corallite) is in scarce supply. Anyone wanting to know more about road management is welcome to contact us at Shire during work hours.

Cocos (Keeling) Islands News (cont’d) Berita Pulu Cocos (Keeling) (seterusnya)

SOUTH END ROAD: Kami sadar yang untuk banyak orang-orang, penutupan jalan South End Road sangat menyusahkan dan mengecewakan. Justeru itu kami tidak membuat keputusan ini dengan ringan. Kami mencoba untuk mengimbangkan keperluan masyarakat dan pelancongan dan pengurusan yang pantas terhadap aset kami. Sepertimana yang boleh dilihat dalam gambar ini dimasa jalan ditutup, kebanyakkan jalan ini dalam banjir dengan batas banjir ini berhampiran gentus dipintu kereta. Membawa kereta dijalan yang banjir akan merosakkan jalan dimasa tyre menolak ayer keluar dan ayer ini akan membawak sebahgian jalan itu bersama, dan akan menimbulkan lobang-lobang dan lebih menerokkan lobang yang suda ada. Di Cocos, kita tidak senang untuk menggantikan alat tanah atasan dan memperbaiki lobang-lobang sebab alat yang digunakan untuk membaguskan jalan (corallite) sangat susah untuk didapat. Sesiapa yang ingin mengetahui lebih tentang pengurusan jalan disilahkan untuk hubungi kami di Shire dimasa jam kerjaan.

These are a few items that I think may be of particular interest but we are always willing to meet with members of the community who are interested in knowing more about Shire activities.

Ini adalah berberapa perkara yang saya ingat mungkin jadi keminatan tetapi kami selalu sanggup untuk bertemu dengan penduduk masyarakat yang berminat untuk mengetahui lebih tentang aktiviti-aktiviti Shire.

Quote of the Day

“Every accomplishment begins with a decision to try””

Ben Francia

Thought for the Day

A man walks into a lawyer's office and asks, "How much do you charge?"

The lawyer says, "$5,000 for three questions."

"Wow, that's pretty expensive, isn't it?" the man asks.

"Yes," says the lawyer. "Now, what's your third question?"

If you have 10 apples in one hand and 14 oranges in the other, what do you have?

Really, really big hands.

Apparently you can't use "beef stew" as a password.

It's not stroganoff.

A horse walks into a bar...

The bartender says, "Hey."

The horse replies, "Sure."

What do you call two monkeys that share an Amazon account?

Prime mates.

George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matthew McCo-naughey get together to make a movie.

Clooney says, "I'll direct."

DiCaprio says, "I'll act."

McConaughey says, "I'll write, I'll write, I'll write."

THE FOUR TOP TYPES OF LITTER

Chewing Gum

Chewing gum the second most commonly dropped litter and local councils are spending around 60million pounds per year removing gum from our pavements.

We’ve been chewing gum for millennia – we used to chew the sap of certain trees. But our love of chewing gum grew and we started to manufacturer it from a rubbery equivalent called polyisobutylene. This material is also used in the manufacturer of the inner tubes of tyres – yum! Fortunately some brands offer ‘natural’ chewing gum which breaks down in the natural environment or on a compost heap – these include Peppersmith, Chicza, Chewsy and Simply Gum.

Cigarette Butts

Smoking litter is the most commonly dropped litter. Cigarette litter is time consuming to clean up because it is small and tends to get trapped in cracks and grates on the ground. Cigarette filters can take up to 12 years to degrade and cigarette butts leak toxins that contaminate water and harm marine life and the environment. Cigarette filters have been found in the stomachs of fish, birds, whales and other marine creatures, who mistake them for food.

Confectionery wrappers

As well as our nicotine and chewing gum habits, many of us crave chocolate or crisps at some point during the day. Once upon a time you could find a few chocolate bars and sweets in fully recyclable or biodegradable packaging such as paper or cardboard, but it’s coming far less easy to find those brands. So vote with your money and support the brands that support your zero waste lifestyle.

Drinks bottles and cans

Let’s be honest, there’s no excuse for this one! If you buy a bottle of soft drink every lunch time then you’re spending an insane amount of money. An interesting article in news stated that children aged between seven and 15 are now spending more on soft drinks than toys!

Quick Tips for Reading Nutrition Labels

Being your own health and label-reading detective adds another tool to help you take control of your own health and well-being. This can indicate whether you’re fuelling your body with enough of the nutrients it needs. 1. How many Servings is That? Serving size is the size or portion of the product that equates to the amount of nutrients l isted. All the information provided in the Nutrition Facts label is based upon the serving size listed. Serving per container is the total amount of servings per container. Portion size isn’t found on the Nutrition Facts label. It’s different for everyone based on their unique health goals and needs, like if they have a medical condition. Moreover, the recommended portion size for each person may not be the same as the serving size listed on the package, particularly if you’re managing a condition like diabetes. Let’s use a bag of pasta as an example. If the serving size says 1 cup of pasta, the nutrition information below the s e r v i n g s i z e ( f a t s , carbohydrates, protein, sugars, fiber) only apply to that 1 cup of pasta. 2. Look for Fibre Pay attention to the grams of fiber per serving on a Nutrition Facts Label. Aim for food that have higher fiber amount at least 5 grams per serving. Food that are high in fibre include broccoli, wholegrain bread and oats, berries, pears, melons. 3. Know your Sugars Total sugars are the total amount of sugars found in a produc t , bo th na tura l ly occurring (like sugars in fruit and milk) and added. Added sugars simply refer to the amount of sugar that’s been added during the processing of the food product. Added sugars can include maple syrup, concentrated vegetables or fruit juice and high-fructose corn syrup.
