A MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR

There are many features of the Northern Beaches that are truly extraordinary. I suspect there are only a few people who have had the

opportunity to get to know all or even most of them.

Among the best of these extraordinary features are areas of beautiful bushland. Some are very well known, such as Manly Dam War Memorial Park, Katandra Sanctuary and North Head. And of course we have large areas of natural bushland in and around the state and national parks.

I suspect most readers, particularly residents from the northern and southern suburbs of the Northern Beaches, would be surprised to hear that one of these ‘jewels’ exists right in the heart of Dee Why. That’s right, Dee Why.

This week I accepted an invitation from the committee that helps the Council manage the Stony Range Reserve. This 3.3 hectare reserve is actually a Regional Botanic Garden and is truly extraordinary in so many ways.

It has a collection of native plants that is hard to believe. It has an amazing rainforest gully that evokes the feeling one usually only experiences in northern NSW. It has a tranquillity that surprises you given its proximity to the hustle and bustle of Dee Why. It has walks for all ages, including children. And most importantly, it has a group of dedicated volunteers who turn up every week to ensure the gardens are not just maintained, but continuously improve.

If you appreciate gardens and bushland please put Stony Range on your list of places to visit and take the family. There are BBQs and picnic tables as well as many places to just sit, read a book or reflect on the natural beauty surrounding you.

Next Tuesday at Mona Vale will mark my last Council meeting before we enter the caretaker period. There are some important issues including the Northern Beaches Sportsground Strategy and Strategic Implementation Plan for consideration.

I know I can speak for the whole Northern Beaches community in expressing shock and sadness at the tragic death of Justine Ruszczyk in Minneapolis last weekend. Many Council sta� knew Justine and members of her family, including her brother Jason who works at Council.

To Justine’s family and close friends I would like to express our condolences during this unbelievably sad time.
