The State Government has commied
$12.5million in Royales for Regions
funding to establish two pilot projects
growing irrigated crops in the Pilbara.
A trial of irrigaon systems will use
surplus mine water to grow food
and biofuel under the new Pilbara
Hinterland Agricultural Development
Iniave (PHADI).
Sorghum will be grown at Woodie
Woodie on Warrawagine Staon in
the eastern Pilbara, which can be then
used for biofuel in the mining industry,
as well as cale fodder. A second
site in the central Pilbara is under
consideraon.
The trial will start with a 150ha farm
operaon and could be expanded to
several thousand hectares with private
sector parcipaon.
This is about teaming agriculture with
mining to grow fodder for the pastoral
Desert Irrigaon Project for Remote East PilbaraExtract from Ministerial Media Statements, State Government of Western Australia
industry and biofuel for the resource
sector.
The knowledge uncovered through
these pilot projects will be vital to
Western Australia being able to develop
systems for world-leading irrigated
agriculture, said Agriculture and Food
Minister Ken Baston.
PHADI follows evaluaon of past
Pilbara Water Opportunies projects
which idened signicant prospects
for further irrigated agriculture using
surplus mine dewater.

Since taking on the posion of
Coordinator for Newman Mainstreet
Project Inc. back in March 2013 a lot
of people have asked me What does
Mainstreet do? My usual response is
What dont we do!
At Mainstreet, our aim is to involve the
community in projects and events that
promote community cohesion, identy
and development. Most people who
have been in town a lile while now
would know that Mainstreet prides
itself on pung together events for
the community such as; Internaonal
Womens Day and NAIDOC week (this
year).
But it is not just about these events.
We also help a lot in the background,
cooking barbeques at other events
throughout the year, holding the bi-
monthly markets and producing the
Newman News and operang The
Beach Indoor Play Centre.
All of these acvies would not happen
without our great community minded
commiee members. As our events
are run by dedicated volunteerspainstakingly organising and preparing
for the event for days, weeks, even
months leading up to them to ensure
they come together perfectly. This
involves regularly meengs to discuss
ideas, liaising with people, businesses
and performers to make the events
memorable to those aending.
The volunteers do all this with very
lile thanks, but that is what it meansto be a community volunteer and these
are the people who help create the
communies spirit!
Newman Mainstreet Project Inc.By Nicole Willis

a wide array of hire equipment?
We can dress your event or get together

When families separate it is oen an
overwhelming process. Frequently
people are not fully aware of the
opons or assistance that is available to
help guide them through the resulng
emoonal and nancial maze.
Whenever possible it is best to focus on
resolving disputes outside of the Court
process. Where children are involved,
their wellbeing must always be the
paramount consideraon.
Methods of resolving disputes without
going to Court include:
Mediaton an independent
mediator works with both clients
to idenfy the issues that are in
dispute. They facilitate discussion in
a safe environment and encourage
the exchange of ideas to help
develop soluons. Mediators do
not provide legal advice. Clients
should seek legal advice to ensure
agreements can be implemented.
Family Separaon Without CourtBy J. Leonie Bailey, Principal Lawyer, DeLancey Legal
Negotaton lawyers take a more
acve role and negoate with the
other partys lawyer by way of
leers, phone calls and conferences.
Collaboratve Practce pares
engage lawyers who are specicallytrained in collaborave law. Both
clients and their lawyers are
involved in a series of four way
meengs. Once an agreement is
reached it is formalised by preparing
the relevant documentaon.
These processes assist clients to design
agreements that are diverse and best
meet their specic needs. Without
ligaon, agreements can be reached
in a mely and cost eecve manner.
Becoming involved in the Court process,
on the other hand, is both emoonally
and nancially costly, me consuming
and the outcome is always uncertain.
To celebrate the opening of the BHPBIO
sponsored chalets at the Newman
Visitor Centre, a compeon is being
held to name each of the six chalets.
Ideally, the names should follow a
theme or have some relevance to
our surroundings, culture or history.
The Visitor Centre is giving residents
the chance to enter your ideas in a
compeon.
The winner will receive two nights'
accommodaon, a dinner pack to be
used in the BBQ area and beverages for
the evening.
Newman Visitor Centres New ChaletsBy Tracey Bennet
Submit your six proposed chalet names
to Ournamesare@bigpond.com by
Saturday 15 February 2014.
The winner will be noed at
the accommodaon's ocial
opening, held toward the end
of February 2014.
The six chalets are self contained
with a modern, led to the
ceiling en-suite, refrigerator,
kele, microwave and toaster.
Each room features a sing
area, queen size bed, free to air
TV and wi access. One of the
six chalets is completely ed
for full disabled access.
Please feel free to stop into
the Visitor Centre for a look
around the chalets.

up with a deliberately lit re, but
within Kangaroo Oval on Saturday
14 December the atmosphere was a
lile chilly with thanks to the team at
BHP Billiton who brought ice to the
outback for their Winter Wonderland
Christmas party for all employees and
their families.
From 4.30 pm unl 10 pm it was fun
and fesvies for all. The children
(and young at heart) were kept busy
with building snowmen, throwing
snowballs, riding the slopes, lots of
bouncy castle acon, face painng and
a cra table to boot. There really was
no excuse for the children not to have
had a wow of a me.
The food was fabulous and plenfuland with thanks to the generosity of
Newman's own Iron Lions there was
also snow cones and popcorn to enjoy.
The entertainment was provided by
Chris Murphy and his band along with
BHP Christmas PartyBy Nicole Willis
the sound and stage supplied by Dave
and his team at RockWest Producons.
Santa made his arrival at 6.30 pm

The Christmas party at the Newman
Playgroup on Monday 16 December
entertained the children with much
delight and surprise.
While snacking on delicious Christmas
treats the children eagerly had theirfaces painted, engaged in inside play,
as well as outside in the sandpit and
water tables.
Although the sun was already beaming
with heat, it did not prevent a swarm
of children from rushing outside to
see Santa emerge from a Fire Truck
with sirens blaring. The childrens
excitement could barely be contained
when they were given permission toclimb onboard Santas Fire Truck and
experience the view from up high.
Santas jolly arrival brought extra joy
all around as he hand delivered gis
personally addressed to each child.
It was a wonderful Christmas
celebraon enjoyed by all who
aended. A big Christmas cheer of
thanks to the playgroup members whoassisted in organising the event and to
those who parcipated on the day.

With the emergency services being
extremely busy driving Santa to all
his engagements, Santa may well
have arrived on a lawn mower to the
Newman Neighbourhood Centres
family Christmas party on Friday 13
December.
The children played pin-the-nose on
Rudolph, threw velcro balls to decorate
a tree, tried to lasso mini Christmas
trees, and other acvies. Everyone
then migrated inside to share the
plaers of food that everyone brought
and be entertained by some gorgeous
lile dancing Christmas trees.
All the children where then treated to
a gi and hug from Santa.
Thank you to all involved.

The engine driver, Allan McDonagh,heightened the excitement levels by
alerng everyone he was close with the
tradional sounding of sirens.
The event certainly reected the
strong sense of community spirit that
is synonymous with life in Newman.
Everyone certainly appeared to get
involved and enjoy themselves no
maer what their age.

businesses in the wider community.
Many thanks especially go to Owen
and Angel Rawlinson from the Lions
Club, Woolworths Newman, Pares by
