Calls to fix aged infrastructure before CBD beautification
The chosen design for the Molong CBD Activation Project. Beauty above ground...chaos continuing underground. How does this create a better, safer place for the extended community?
Most will agree that Molong's CBD needs a 'facelift' - a beautification program and the improvement of pedestrian and vehicle safety aspects will be most welcomed. The good news is that Cabonne Council is on the case with a Government-funded program providing significant dollars so that Council can deliver the Molong CBD Activation Project - very soon. The project has been 'on the drawing board', so to speak, for at least two years with consultants working with Council to conduct community consultation, achieve design and
planning outcomes, and visionary outcomes for the further development of Molong. Well, that was prior to the minor storm/ major flooding events which occurred in the CBD during the La Nina 2021/22. The downpour created stormwater runoff throughout town ... and in turn, what became a regular flooding of shops, hotels and businesses in the lower areas of Bank and Watson Streets. Traders, business owners, building owners, and the wider community are, understandably, 'over' the now constant clean-up of minor
and major flooding and the enormous expense created by stormwater running down the overflowing gutters, into overflowing stormwater drains - which were designed for yesterday's weather patterns and not for what we now know as La Nina events - and climate change. The Express is keen to see the implementation of a major works program focussed on the needs of surface-water collection and disposal of as a critical pre-works program before the Molong CBD Activation Project commences. What do readers think?
Country footy vital to kick off Wallaby careers It's not unusual for wallabies to be seen at Molong’s Rec, but more than 60 footy hopefuls gathered to see three of them last week in the hope of following their footsteps to success. Ex-Wallabies stars, Molong’s David Lyons, and teammates, Stirling Mortlock and Owen Finegan shared their secrets to success with young union players at a clinic organised by Molong Magpies. They know only too well that the future of Australian rugby starts with clubs like Molong – with every single young player at the clinic having the potential to play for their country one day. A lot of players who came through the ranks to Wallaby status were from country venues according to Mortlock, who has seen it first-hand in his 500-test point career. “The thing about our game is that’s it’s all about community,” he said. “When you go to country clubs for rugby, you can see the fabric and backbone of community.

Cheers to couple for pub fun and memories
Les and Cheryl Birdsall are finally free to spend their retirement travelling home to the ‘Great White Cloud’ (NZ) for a visit ... and then heading off in their ‘bus home’ with their little girl, Bonnie, to spend time in sunny Queensland. Les and Cheryl came to Molong from Orange to take over the license of the Telegraph Hotel just after the 2005 floods.
Both simply rolled up their sleeves and within no time had the ‘top pub’ looking spick and span. With little food available at night in Molong - Les and Cheryl scrubbed and cleaned the old kitchen to cook delicious hamburgers, fish and chips and other town favourites. The two have been kind and generous to many residents, individuals, at fundraisers, to
families and keen sponsors in helping others. On behalf of the Molong and district communities, travellers and tourists - Rozzi and Paul of The Molong Express would like to thank both Les and Cheryl for all that they have given to local and district communities. And, for the wonderful gift of the refurbed pub interior and exterior ... and for looking after each one of us.
Support for pod lifestyle is sky high in Molong
How on earth do we get up there? Well, that’s the question on the mind of locals and passers by when they see the pod (pictured above) currently stilted on the land at the Gatekeeper’s Cottage on Euchareena Road. Temorarily placed sky-high, the pod will return to earth once the foundations and services are connected and it’s ready for tennants - Paul Mullins and Rozzi Smith.
The couple are thankful to NSW Reconstruction Authority team which has provided this “gift” of a home while they are waiting to extensively repair their historic home. This one-bedroom, tiny house is fitted out with furniture, white goods, air conditioning and a combined lounge/ dining/kitchen, verandah, ramp, and a fence on the outside. More photos soon.
CBD QUIETER THAN USUAL: SAMMY
“I’ve never see the street so quiet in my 80 years of living in Molong” said long-time local Sammy Thomas. Sammy should know, he’s been a regular shopper in our CBD his entire life. Many others have noticed the lack of cars and shoppers recently in Bank and Gidley streets - and at different times of the day. While it is generally quiet at this time of the year when school goes back it is noticeably quieter than usual. The town is missing both local and district shoppers - and travellers/ tourists to town. Disappointingly, Cabonne Council has been ridiculously slow in getting
Gotta catch ‘em all - see the sites with Pokemon Go
the Molong Caravan Park back up and running again. It has been since November, and now looking at March, since there was any movement. This popular traveller and permanent resident spot greatly affects local businesses and the wellbeing of the few permanent residents who are anxiously waiting to go back home again. Let’s nag Cabonne Council to get this very important caravan park up and running again as a priority. For now, PLEASE SHOP MOLONG and help our food outlets, retailers, and businesses to survive and grow.
Locals may have seen these two little guys, Van and Reuben (pictured left), wandering around town with their mum Steph, or dad Dylan, looking down at their devices. Could they be making an international phone call? Or bingewatching a show? The Express has learned that clever mum, Steph, has found a game in which they can play while learning about places of Molong as they wander. The two boys love catching Pokemon in and around the town’s buildings and even bushes etc - like this funny little chap (right) hiding in plain sight on the Village Green. “Found you,” they said when they caught him and continued on their way walking, catching, exploring and learning. Great fun!

International Women’s Day @ Orange City Library
Wendy McCarthy, author, businesswoman, activist was originally from Orange. She will launch her book, Don’t Be Too Polite, Girls at the Orange City Library International Women’s Day event on Wednesday 8 March @ 7 pm
Orange City Library is excited to announce its upcoming celebration of International Women’s Day on Wednesday 8 March, with a special Library Up Late event featuring guest speaker Wendy McCarthy. The author, businesswoman and activist, who is originally from Orange, will launch her book Don't Be Too Polite, Girls. Orange City Councillor Melanie McDonell said Wendy's trail-blazing advocacy and leadership had made her a widely respected and revered figure. “Her story serves as an inspiration for us all to push boundaries and create positive change in our own lives,” Cr McDonell said. As an educator, activist, and agent of change, Wendy has made a significant impact on Australian society in many extraordinary ways. Don't miss this chance to be inspired by one of Australia's most influential women and celebrate International Women's Day in a meaningful way. Join the Library Up Late event on March 8 at the Orange City Library. The event will run from 7pm until 9pm at the Orange City Library, and tickets are available for $15 per person via the Eventbrite website.
Regional Energy Strategy across 11 Councils Central NSW Joint Organisation (JO) has been successful in its bid for capacity building funding under the NSW government’s Joint Organisation Net Zero Acceleration (JONZA) Grant. “The resource from the JONZA grant will help us progress our Regional Energy Strategy where we have identified 52 activities we would like to progress across our 11 Councils. Councils are financially constrained and at the same time every community wants to support reducing emissions in line with the NSW Government and international aspirations,” said Cr K Beatty, Chair of the Central NSW Joint Organisation Board. The Joint Organisation Net Zero Acceleration grant is a capacity-building pilot program established to help regional councils r+ educe their carbon emissions to achieve their part in the State’s Net Zero target of 50 per cent reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050. The program is delivered by the NSW Office of Energy and Climate Change (OECC) to address chronic resource constraints in regional

Gee seeking extra support for floodaffected towns Member for Calare Andrew Gee has called on the NSW and Australian Governments to speed up the delivery of vital disaster relief for the storm and flood-hit communities of the Cabonne Shire. Home Buy-Back Scheme needed for Cabonne The NSW Government has just started the first round of voluntary home buy-backs for the flood-hit communities of the NSW Northern Rivers. The $700-million Resilient Homes Program is designed to enable around 2,000 buy-backs for the purchase of a homeowner's house and land. A similar scheme has not been put in place for the devastated communities of Cabonne. “We have many homeowners in places like Eugowra, Molong and Canowindra who’d be very keen to participate in the scheme, but they can’t get answers about what’s going on. “People’s lives are in limbo. They are hearing about these programs which are offering hope, and then they can’t get any clarity as to whether the program will be rolled out in the Central West,” said Mr Gee. “We certainly don’t begrudge the Northern Rivers in having access to this program – they have also experienced immense devastation. They need all the help they can get. With Cabonne bearing the same level of destruction, we just want access to those same
programs. “It’s not right that other parts of the state get this assistance, but our part of the world doesn’t,” Mr Gee said. Local Government Recovery Grants Co-funded by the Australian and NSW Governments, the Local Government Recovery Grants program supports disaster declared local councils to help towns rebuild, and communities recover. The grants of up to $2 million have been announced for the Northern Rivers region, but not for Cabonne. “Our councils can’t get through the recovery without help. Why isn’t this support being made available here?” said Mr Gee. Community Assets Program In mid-January, the Federal and NSW Governments announced the $70 million Community Assets Program. Under the program, local councils in flood-hit areas can apply for grants of up to $7.5 million to go towards the repair of flood-damaged community infrastructure. “About three weeks ago there was a big $70 million announcement to give floodhit towns a hand to restore community infrastructure like parks, playgrounds, walkways, and libraries,” said Mr Gee. “The Cabonne region was left off the list of areas that can apply for this vital funding
to help places like Eugowra, Molong and Canowindra not only recover from the disaster, but come back stronger. “Where’s the fairness?” Mr Gee said. State Rail Infrastructure Causing Flooding The communities of Cabonne are also looking to the NSW Government to fix the stateowned infrastructure that is a major contributor to local flood events. “In Molong, it’s the rail bridge over Molong Creek that’s causing water to back up. It needs to be raised or moved,” said Mr Gee. “There is also flood mitigation work along the creek which needs to be prioritised. “Local residents have started a petition, but it shouldn’t have to come to that to get action. This issue is a lawsuit waiting to happen. “In Canowindra, it’s the old rail line and rail bridge at the back of Gaskill Street which is causing water to back up into town. It’s owned by the NSW Government. “You could fix the problem in two hours with a couple of bulldozers but so far there’s been no action. “The smaller communities of the region are tired of picking up the pieces from these flood events when there are practical solutions that could be implemented now. We simply can’t go on like this,” Mr Gee said.
Traditional Owners concerned with mine proposal
areas by funding full-time employees within JOs to lead and coordinate net zero activities for their member councils. Director of Sustainability and Circular Economy Partnerships, Emily Yip, said the Government funding for the pilot program for the nine groups which cover 65 regional councils, will enable them to each employ a staff member for up to a year to drive net zero outcomes for the region. “Projects will include developing a regional Electric Vehicle (EV) plan, implementing emissions reduction plans and establishing Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) for renewable energy
purchase for member councils,” Ms Yip said. “Supporting all nine applicants means about 70% of regional NSW council areas will receive support through the program, demonstrating a strong commitment to cutting emissions in the regions.” “The grants are part of the Sustainable Councils program which helps local governments in regional NSW save energy and money, cut emissions, and set a path to net zero.” JOs strengthen collaboration and engagement between State and local governments and improve infrastructure and service delivery to regional communities.
MOLONG EXPRESS, Thursday 2 March 2023
Heritage consultation with Traditional Owners for the proposed McPhillamys mine is grossly inadequate say multiple experts including Wiradyuri Elders. Bathurst Wiradyuri Elders say the decision on the proposed McPhillamy’s gold mine at King’s Plains - due soon - - could be tarnished by inconsistencies in the reporting and consultation process’. Traditional Custodians are concerned that the proposed project will inflict irreversible damage to the Cultural significance, both tangible and intangible of the area, which sits almost in the centre of 3 major Aboriginal sites – the 3 brothers – Wahluu/Mount Panorama, Gaanha Bula Mount Canobolas and Guhanawalnyi Mount Macquarie. Members and Elders from WTOCWAC are also obviously concerned about the environmental impact to the whole of the landscape, above and below ground – which is ironically what Bellubula means in Wiradyuri (Bila – river, Bula-2,one river above, one river below/ underground). WTOCWAC Public Officer Yanhadarrambal, says the planned mine, if it proceeds, will disrupt and destroy significant Aboriginal cultural places including a precious ochre quarry and significant Kings Plains frontier wars landscape. Heritage Assessment for the proposed mine site,” he said, “And now multiple other experts have told the recent Independent Planning Commission (IPC) inquiry into the mine proposal that cultural consultation has been inadequate throughout the project approvals process.”
“As a result, those experts say, assessment of the mine’s impact on Department of Planning and Environment was just plain wrong.” “Evidence of Frontier Wars events on King Plains – critical to Wiradyuri post-contact history – and ochre deposits crucial for our ongoing ceremonies and cultural work have been played down in heritage evaluations,” Yanhadarrambal said. “We, as traditional owners, worry how illinformed and misled planning decisions on this project have been up to now.”

From page 1 “Nothing shows that more than in Molong when less than six months ago there was really significant issues with the floods. “To see the kids on the pitch today was fantastic. You wouldn’t have known about the flood. “That epitomises what community is about and epitomises what rugby is about.” While Mortlock and Finegan were born and bred in the city, they both agreed that watching players like Lyons move up from local footy to international games wasn’t unusual. “Country rugby is an amazing part of the fabric of the Australian rugby,” Finegan said. “Rugby clubs aren’t just about rugby, it’s about
the community getting together and being part of something that’s bigger than themselves.” Following on from the Union clinic at the Rec, the three wallabies were the special guests speakers at the 2023 season launch of the Magpies – the 70th year of the club. President Matt said the club was moving forward in strides. “We have such support from the Molong community with players, volunteers and generous sponsorship,” he said. “By helping the club, they are helping the community.” The club has secured the old squash court building in Bank Street as its new clubhouse for the season (watch this space) and has plenty of future plans including a long-term goal of a women’s team.

Evangeline Ellis 4th place @ Olympic Park
Australian Women’s Cricket
Last weekend, Evangeline Ellis - Molong resident and student of James Sheahan High School (Orange) took part in the 2023 Junior Championships at Sydney’s Olympic Park after a sensational year of participating in Javelin competitions. Evangeline came a credible 4th place in the Championships in what was regarded as a strong field of finalists. In January Evangeline won gold in the NSW Athletics Country championships. She also won gold at the recent Little Athletics Region Championships which will mean another opportunity to compete at Olympic Park. Well done Evie - Molong and James Sheahan are very proud of your amazing efforts and skills.
Molong Golf Sunday Morning Golf with Gerard An earlier tee off time on Sunday
at the Royal Molong Golf Course saw eight players ready for the eighteen hole individual stableford event. After the points were tallied at the end it turned out Pete Woodhouse was the easy winner with forty points and received a fifty dollar meat voucher from Reggie at Molong Meats. Many thanks to Reggie for sponsoring this event. Club Captain Paul is hoping to run this eighteen hole event on the last Sunday of every month. It seems Bro plays better golf when he can’t see where he’s hitting the ball. On the eighteenth hole he hit two good shots with the second shot ending up under a bushy tree about fifty metres or so short of the green. (He’ll probably say it was further out.) Without being able to see where he was hitting his next shot he managed to put it just off the other side of the green and then sank a long putt for par. Roger also managed a chip in from about fifteen metres off the green on the seventeenth for a birdie and four points. Balley turned up late but managed to get a few holes in with Woody and Scotty. I don’t think he would’ve lasted too much longer playing with that pair. There’s plenty of laughs watching them play.
Good luck to Ged and Paul
who are heading to Holbrook this weekend to play the NSW Men’s Sand Greens Fourball Championships. Beau and Jye are playing representing other golf clubs with also a couple of players from Cumnock and a strong contingent from Manildra. Bob made a trip to Canberra and drove to the shopping centre only for the car to break down in the car park. He told his wife to go shopping while he fixed the car. His wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection she saw a pair of hairy legs protruding from under the vehicle. Unfortunately, although he had shorts on - his private parts had become very public ones. She dutifully stepped forward and quickly put her and up his shorts and tucked everything back into place. Upon regaining her feet, she sees her husband standing beside her watching. The poor mechanic under the vehicle had to have six stitches in his forehead!
Golf back to the regular time this
Australian Women’s Cricket has reached a greater high following the team’s latest win of the T20 World Cup title. Captain, Meg Lanning has now led Australia to four T20 World Cup titles and one ODI World Cup title. Meg has collected more ICC tournament wins than any other captain in men’s or women’s cricket. Well done to Meg and the Aussie Women’s Cricket team for demonstrating the new power of women in international cricket.
