FROM THE CEO’S DESK - 5 SEPTEMBER 2019


MAJU PULU KITA MASTERPLAN UPDATE: We reported last fortnight on the great new decking under the Home Island Cyclone Shelter and this fortnight we are pleased to announce that the works on this important community hub will continue to be a focus for our efforts as outlined in the Masterplan. The outdoor cinema will be one step further with materials for the shelter over the steps of the Cyclone Shelter arriving on the next ship. We have also heard from the community their concerns about the balustrading and have materials coming to ensure the balustrading is safer and more child-

friendly.

BERITA MAJU PULU KITA MASTERPLAN : Kami melaporkan berita hebat dua minggu yang lalu tentang deking di bawah Rumah Masyarakat Home Island dan dua minggu ini kami dengan sukacitanya mengumumkan bahwa kerja-kerjaan yang penting untuk masyarakat ini akan terus menjadi usaha kami seperti yang dijelaskan di Masterplen. Tempat untuk menonton wayang di luar akan menjadi satu langkah lebih jauh dengan bahan-bahan untuk perlindungan di atas tangah Rumah Masyarakat akan tiba di kapal laut yang akan sampai. Kami juga telah mendengar dari masyarakat tentang kebimbangan pelangkapan dan bahan-bahan yang dating untuk memastikan pelangkapan lebih selamat dan mesra terutama

untuk anak-anak.

POSITION VACANT: The Shire is currently advertising for a Communication and IT Officer for a 12 month maternity leave

position. Applications close 9am Monday 9th September 2019.

PEKERJAAN KOSONG: Konsel sedang advertise pekerjaan Communications IT Officer untuk 12 bulan posisi cuti hamil. Applikasi

harus di terima sebelum hari Senin 9hb September 2019.

CERTIFICATE RECEIPENTS: This month we congratulate 2 staff members who have received their certificate for completing further studies. Congratulations to Ibrahim Macrae for the successful completion of Certificate IV in Local Government (Planning) and Razalie Zainal for attaining a Certificate IV in Local Government

(Regulatory Services).

MEMERIMA CERTIFIKET : Bulan ini 2 pekerja menerima certifiket yang suda menyelesaikan studi mereka. Tahnia kepada Pak Yusri yang telah terima Certifiket IV Local Government (Planning) dan Pak

Rani Certifiket IV Local Government (Regulatory Services).

BUDGET 2019/2020: Continuing our series on items of interest from our budget, this week we turn our focus to asset renewal. This may not sound as exciting as new buildings and structures but we know how essential it is to maintain the assets we have so that they continue to be of benefit to the community. A couple of the asset renewal projects we are doing this year are the re-sheeting of the Home Island Community Resource Centre building and the two residential bungalows as the existing sheeting is very corroded. We have, with partial funding support from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development, also re-stumped Government House as the stumps were at risk of failure. So while these projects are not visible to the community, it is important we do give them our attention as responsible asset

managers.

BUDGET 2019/2020: Kami meneruskan berita mengenai perkara yang menarik daripada budget kami, minggu ini kami berikan fokus kepada pembaruan aset. Ini munkin tidak bergitu menarik seperti bangunan dan struktur baru tetapi kami tahu bertapa pentingnya untuk mempertahankan asset yang kami miliki supaya kami dapat terus memberikan dan menjalankan serbis-serbis kepada masyarakat kami. Berberapa pembaruhan aset projek yang kami masukan adalah pelapisan semula bangunan Resourse Centre Masyarakat dan dua rumah bungalows kerana dinding luarnya suda sangat berkerat. Kami telah, dan dengan sokongan pembiyaan separu dari Department Infrastuktur, Transport, Cities dan Regional Development, juga memperbaiki tunggul di Rumah Govermen karena tunggul berisiko kegagalan. Oleh itu, walaupun ini tidak dapat dilihati oleh masyarakat ini adalah penting yang kami memberi tangung

jawab kami kepada aset-aset.

6/09/2019


WORKS UPDATE: Work on the raised deck at Trannies Beach has commenced. The first stage was to prepare the ground area to ensure good support for the deck. We are using ground screws to minimise the area required for foundations. The ground screws will support the structure that will be raised 600mm and cover an area of

80 square metres.

The solar lighting is now being installed on Direction Island. Each shelter will have its own lighting system with a remote on/off switch

within easy reach.

The water bubblers have now been installed; two on Home Island and two on West Island. These have been positioned to enable access by people in wheelchairs. We acknowledge the

Commonwealth Government for funding this initiative.

The new igniter switch for the BBQ at the Yacht club will be installed as soon as it arrives. Once it has been fitted we will notify the

community via Facebook.

Keep your eyes out for the sea of colour as the shade sails for the West Island Playground will arrive this week. They will be installed

as soon as possible.

BERITA KERJAAN: Pekerja untuk membuat deking di Trannies Beach telah bermula. Peringkatan pertama adalah untuk menyediakan kawasan tanah yang akan menyokong dek. Skru tanah akan di siapkan dan memberikan struktur sokongan supaya tanah boleh di naikan 600mm dan menutup kawasan sebanyak 80 square

metre.

Lambu solar sedang di pasang di Pulu Tikus. Setiap tempat pelindungan akan mempunyai system lampu sendiri dengan suit

menyalah/bunuh dengan senang.

Tempat minuman air telah di pasang di Pulu Panjang dan Home Island. Ini telah diletak senang untuk kursi sorong karena tempat

minuman ini dibuat senang untuk mereka.


Suit baru untuk BBQ di Yatch Kub akan dipasang terus bila kami terima. Setelah dipasang kami akan memberi tau kepada masyara-

kat. Mohon maaf atas kesulitan ini.

Menantikan warna-warna lindungan yang akan sampai minggu ini di kapal freighter. Ini akan di pasang di taman kemainan di Pulu Pan-

jang.

WASTE MANAGEMENT: The removal of historic asbestos contain-ing material (ACM) from Cocos is an issue we have put some effort into resolving. Recent changes to the legislation will now allow us to apply for permits to transfer ACM to the mainland for appropriate disposal. The transport of ACM will incur significant costs so we are working with the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development to find funds to supplement Shire funding to

solve this legacy waste issue.

And a gentle reminder: Residents are kindly asked to place their bins one metre from the edge of the road with the handles facing the road on collection days. This will assist the waste management crew and

improve road safety.

URUSAN SAMPA: Penyingkiran asbestos lama yang mengandung bahan (ACM) dari Cocos adalah satu isu yang kita telah berusaha untuk selesaikan. Perubahan terbaru pada undang-undang sekarang akan memperbolehkan kami untuk memohon permit untuk memin-dahkan ACM ke tanah besar untuk perbuangan yang sesuai. Pengangkatan ACM akan memerlukan ongkos yang besar jadi kami sedang berkerja dengan Department of Instrastruktu, Transport, Cit-ies dan Regional Development untuk mencari duit bantuan untuk mengambah pembiyaan Shire untuk menyelessaikan isu urusan sam-

pah.

Ada juga peringatan: Penduduk di minta untuk meletakan bin sampah satu metre dari ujung jalan dengan pegangan bin memandang jalan di hari ambilan sampah. Ini akan membantu pengurusan sambah dan

meningkatkan keselamatan jalan.

RECREATION PROGRAMS: I have been delighted to receive such positive feedback from the community for the great activities organised by our fabulous Community Development Team (Adim and Isa). The after school programs have generated a great deal of par-ticipation to join in a variety of activities. A few of the activities that have been on offer have included reef walking and snorkelling at Pulu Maria, open sailing day at the Home Island Sailing Club and just recently the surfing for beginners at The Spot. A camping outing at Scout Park is planned for later this week with 40 students registered

for this activity.

October will be just as busy with a busy school holiday program, kids

and adult boot camp and Sepak Takraw.

These program ideas have been come from the CIDHS students and volunteer coordinators with the Shire team behind the scenes making it happen. A special thanks to the organisations such as the Cocos Islands District High School and Parks Australia and all our wonder-ful volunteers that have assisted in making these activities fun and

safe. We couldn’t do it without your support.

PROGRAMS KEMAINAN: Saya dengan senang hati menerima pendapatan yang baik dari masyarakat untuk kegiatan hebat yang di uruskan oleh team Community Development (Adimi dan Isa). Pro-gram-program yang di jalankan selepas hari sekolaan telah menghasilkan banyak orang berpatisipati dalam berberapa aktiviti. Berberapa aktiviti yang kami tawarkan termasuk jumberang dan selulup di Pulu Maria, hari belayaran di Klub Sailing Home Island dan baru saja surfing untuk orang permulaan di Spot. Rangangan penginapan telah di rancangkan untuk minggu ini dengan 40 murid mendaftar untuk aktiviti ini. Bulan Oktober akan sama sibuk dengan program school holiday, anak-anak dan dewasa boot kam dan Sepak

Takraw.

Idea program-program ini datang dari murid sekola CIDHS dan koordinator volunteer dengan team Shire di belakang untuk membu-at semua ini berlaku. Terima kasi kepada orginasi seperti CIDHS dan Parks Australia dan juga semua volunteer yang hebat yang memban-tu dalam pengurusan aktiviti yang seronok dan selamat. Kami tidak

dapat melakukannya tanpa sokongan anda.

BUSTS AT OCEANIA HOUSE: Last fortnight I wrote about the repair works budgeted for the Home Island Museum. Continuing that theme, I am pleased to advise that we are working with Lloyd and Avril to bring the Clunies-Ross busts back to the Museum to ensure they are accessible for the community to view. The agreement Council had with Lloyd regarding the busts included a proviso that the busts would be returned to the Museum if Lloyd was not on-island for any length of time. Sadly, Lloyd has advised that he will be off-island for an indefinite period, and it is his preference that the busts are returned to the Shire for safe-keeping and accessibility. Thank you

Lloyd and Avril, for taking good care of the busts for these many

years and opening your home so graciously so the community and visitors could enjoy these invaluable Cocos heritage assets. We send

you our very best wishes while you are off-island.

KEPALA GRAMPA DI RUMAH BESAR: Dua minggu yang lalu saya menerangkan tenant kerja-kerja untuk memperbaiki Musium di Home Island. Melanjutkan ini, saya dengan sukacita memberi nasihat yang kami bekerjasama dengan Lloyd dan Avril untuk membawah kepala grampa Clunies-Ross balik ke Musium untuk memastikan bole di lihat untuk masyarakat. Perjanjian Konsel dengan Lloyd mengenai kepala grampa termasuk mengkembalikan ini kepada musium jika Lloyd tidak berada di Pulu untuk masa yang lama. Sayangnya, Lloyd telah menasihati bahwa dia akan berada di luar negeri untuk masah yang tidak ditentuhkan, dan ia adalah pilihan dia yang kepala grampa di kembalikan kepada Shire untuk menjaga keamanan dan aksesibiliti. Terima kasi kepada Lloyd and Avril, yang suda mengangunkan kepala grampa ini dengan baik selama tahun-tahun ini dan membuka rumah mereka begitu anggun sehingga masyarakat dan tamu/pelawat dapat menikmati aset warisan yang sangat di hargai di Co-cos. Kami mengarapkan yang terbaik untuk mereka semasa mereka

berada di luar negeri.

WORKS CREW TEAM BULDING ACTIVITES ON DIRECTION IS-

LAND: Later this week our wonderful outdoor works team will be

spending the day on Direction Island to give this beautiful place a little bit of TLC. They will be building another two fire pits, doing lots of grounds maintenance to the paths such as whipper snipping and mowing. They will also do some minor repairs to main shelter. This hard work will be followed by some team building activities and a BBQ lunch. We look forward to reporting the results to you in the

next Atoll.

TEAM BUILING AKTIVITI DI PULU TIKUS KEPADA PEKERJAAN LUAR: Dalam minggu yang akan datang team pekerja luar yang luar biasa akan berada di Pulu Tikus untuk memberikan tempat yang indah itu sekit TLC. Mereka kan membangunkan dua lubang api, dan juga banyak pekerja pemiliharaan terutama kepada tempat pejalanan seperti potong rumput. Ada juga tugas untuk memperbaiki lindugan. Kerja keras ini akan diikuti oleh berberapa aktiviti team building dan BBQ semasa lunch. Kami sangat senang untuk melaporkan hasil

semua ini dalam Atoll minggu depan.

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.

Re-using & Recycling Egg Cartons

Egg cartons don’t have to be waste – there are other ways to use both the paper and plastic forms. Here are a few ideas. * Inquire with your local primary/pre-schools if they need cartons fo r c ra f t p ro jec ts . A r t departments also use the cartons for papier Mache projects as paper based cartons are basically just papier Mache themselves. Use for craft projects at home for your own children * Use the cartons as seedling starters. * Plastic egg cartons can also be used in this application. * Handy for organising small items such as nuts, bolts and screws. * Use as packing materials when shipping goods. * As a way of storing delicate Xmas tree bauble decorations. * An avid golfer can use egg cartons for storing golf balls! * Plastic egg cartons can be used as trays for making ice cubes. * Transporting hard boiled eggs to picnics. * If you have neighbours or a local farm with egg-laying chickens; they might greatly appreciate your egg cartons – and perhaps may even give you some free eggs in exchange. * Instead of going into your general rubbish bin, paper based egg cartons should be put into your recycling bin; but given the nature of their construction, they also break down very quickly in compost piles – so you can use them to help benefit your garden. Making further use of egg cartons is just one aspect of making our egg consumption a little more environmentally friendly.

Green Living Tips

Dear Cocos community, This week a handful of small devices (loggers) were deployed on two beaches on Home Island and South Island. The loggers are tiny (the size of a 10-cent coin) and attached to wooden posts, which are buried in the beach sediment (sand) at a depth of 30 cm. In the photo below you can see an orange piece of tape (inside the yellow star) which marks the top of one of the wooden posts. I ask the community to please leave these posts in place (do not remove them). It’s also important that any plastic or other debris items in the surrounding area remain in place and NOT be removed (ie., please temporarily postpone any clean-up events). Your assistance is greatly appreciated! This exciting re-search aims to understand whether accumulated debris alters the temperature or humid-ity of the sand. This is important for green sea turtles which lay their eggs in the sand – whether the turtle hatchlings are male or female depends on sand temperature. I will remove the wooden posts and collect the loggers when I return to Cocos in October, and ensure the results are shared with the community once I’ve had time to analyse the data. Thank you.

The criminal offences of damaging property

These are short articles about legal issues that may interest you. They are not legal advice. You

should always get individual legal advice for your situation.

There are 2 separate criminal offences of damaging property. They are often called:

• Damaging property

• Criminal damage

The offence of unlawfully damaging or destroying property (commonly called “damaging property” above) is a less serious offence than wilfully and unlawfully damaging or destroying property

(usually called “criminal damage”).

Property includes animals and vegetation.

Damaging property – the less serious offence

Damage property is a simple offence only, which means it can only be dealt with by the Magistrates

Court.

The maximum penalty is 2 years imprisonment and/or a fine of $24,000.

Criminal damage – the more serious offence

This is a more serious offence because one element of the offence that must be proven is that the damage was wilful (deliberately done). Criminal damage can be dealt with by either the Magistrates

or District Court (commonly called an “either way” offence).

Never point a finger where you

never lent a hand.

Unknown

Quote of the Day

It costs nothing to dream but are you willing to pay the price

to make it really?

Unknown.

Thought for the Day

Date

After being with her all evening, the

man couldn't take another minute

with his blind date.

Earlier, he had secretly arranged to

have a friend call him to the phone

so he would have an excuse to

leave if something like this hap-

pened.

When he returned to the table, he

lowered his eyes, put on a grim

expression and said, "I have some

bad news. My grandfather just

died."

"Thank heavens," his date replied. If

yours hadn't, mine would have had

to!"

Football Player

A football coach walked into the

locker room before a game, looked

over to his star player and said, "I'm

not supposed to let you play since

you failed math, but we need you in

there. So, what I have to do is ask

you a math question, and if you get

it right, you can play." The player

agreed, so coach looked into his

eyes intently and asked, "Okay,

now concentrate hard and tell me

the answer to this. What is two plus

two?"

The player thought for a moment

and then answered,"4?"

"Did you say 4?" the coach ex-

claimed, excited that he had got it

right. Suddenly all the other players

on the team began scream-

ing...,"Come on coach, give him

another chance!"

Joke of the Week

If the amount of damage caused is worth $25,000 or less, and the property is not damaged or de-stroyed by fire, the charge can be dealt with in the Magistrates Court. The maximum penalty is 3

years imprisonment and/or a fine of $36,000.

Where criminal damage must be dealt with by the District or Supreme Court

The offence of criminal damage must be dealt with by the District Court (“on indictment”) in these

circumstances:

• If the damage is by fire and occurred on or after 1 January 2019 (if it occurred prior to this

date, it must be dealt with by the Supreme Court).

• If the amount of the damage caused is more than $25,000.

• If the criminal damage is by fire, the maximum penalty is life imprisonment.

• If the amount of the damage is over $25,000, the maximum penalty is 10 years imprisonment,

or 14 years if committed in circumstances of racial aggravation.

Racial aggravation is where either:

• Immediately before, during or after the offence the offender shows hostility based on the vic-

tim being a member of a racial group or

• The offence is motivated by hostility towards people of a racial group.

Where you might get charged with the more serious offence of criminal damage instead of damaging property

You might be charged with criminal damage and not the less serious charge of damage property

where there is evidence that you intended to cause the damage.

An example might be where as part of the same incident you trespass onto your ex-partner’s proper-ty and assault them, and tell them you are going to smash up their car and then go and smash up their car as you are leaving. It may be easier in a situation like this to show that you intended to wil-

fully cause the damage, because of your other actions and what you said at the same time.

Damaging aircraft, mines, vessels and railways

There are also other serious offences that include damaging, obstructing the working of, or interfer-ing with, particular types of property such as aircraft, mines, vessels and railways. These generally

attract very serious penalties and have to be dealt with by the District Court.

Graffiti damage

There is special graffiti damage legislation that commenced on 12 October 2016. Graffiti is damaging or making a mark on property. Graffiti can include marking, writing on, spraying, etching, scratching

or drawing on something, with a pen or spray can.

It is an offence to damage, destroy or deface any property by graffiti without the owner’s consent. This is a simple offence only with a maximum penalty of 2 years imprisonment and a fine of $24,000.

It can only be dealt with by the Magistrates Court.

The Court can also make an order that the offender take action to remove the graffiti, or pay some-one else to do so, even if it is not visible to the public. This is not part of the sentence, but a separate

order.

Note that vegetation is included in the definition of property.

It is also an offence to possess an item with intent to apply graffiti. You can be presumed to have the intent if you are in possession of the item in circumstances that give rise to a reasonable suspicion

that you intend to apply graffiti.

Dimana anada munkin didakwa dengan kesalahan yang kerusakan kriminal lebih serius daripada kerusakan harta

Anda munkin didakwa dengan kerusakan kriminal dan bukan tunduhan yang kurang serius harta kerosakan dimana ada bukti

bahwa anda bertujuan untuk menyebabkan kersokanan.

Contohnya mungkin dimana sebagaian daripada kejadian yang sama anda melangar ke rumah bekas-mantan anda dan men-eyerang mereka, dan anda beritahu yang anda akan merusakan kereta dan anda pergi dan merusakan kereta mereka ketika anda jalan. Ia mungkin lebih mudah dalam keadaan seperti ini untuk menunjukan bahwa anda bertujuan untuk merusakan harta,

sebab tindakan anda yang lain dan apa yang anda katakana pada saat yang sama.

Merusakan kapal, mines, dan kereta api

There are also other serious offences that include damaging, obstructing the working of, or interfering with, particular types of property such as aircraft, mines, vessels and railways. These generally attract very serious penalties and have to be dealt with by

the District Court.

Graffiti damage

Ada perundangan khas untuk kerusakkan graffiti yang bermula pada 12hb Oktoba 2016. Grafiti adalah merusakan atau membuat

tanda pada harta. Grafiti termasuk menandakan, menulis, menyebar, atau melukis pada sesuatu, dengan pen atau sprey.

Ia adalah satu kesalahan untuk merusakan, merusakkan atau mengotorkan harta hak orang dengan graffiti tanpa persetujuan dari pemiliknya. Ini adalah kesalahan yang sederhana saja dengan hukuman maksimum 2 tahun penjara dan didendah sebanyak

$24,000. Ini hanya boleh diuruskan di Mahkamah Majistret.

Mahkamah juga boleh membuat suatu perintah bahawa pesalah mengambil tindakan untuk menghapuskan grafiti, atau mem-bayar seorang untuk melakukannya, walaupun ia tidak boleh dilihiat oleh orang ramai. Ini bukan sebahgian daripada hukuman itu,

tetapi perintah yang lain.

Ambil perhatian bahawa tumbuh-tumbuhan termasuk ke dalam takrif harta.

Ia juga merupakan satu kesalahan untuk memiliki item dengan niat untuk membuat grafiti. Anda boleh dianggap mempunyai niat

jika anda memiliki bahan dalam keadaan yang menimbulkan kecurigaan yang wajar yang anda bercadang untuk membuat grafiti.

Contoh mungkin di mana anda didapat dengan rakan memasuk kawasan kereta api tampa iniz pada jam 2am pagi dan and kal-ian mempunyai cet spre dan berada di sebelah dinding di mana ada berberapa graffiti cet spre yang baru saja disemprot. Jika

anda belom/tidak spre dinding anda tetapi anda mungkin didakwa dengan memiliki harta dal

Are your association rules up to date?

All incorporated associations and clubs must have a set of rules (commonly called the constitution) which explains how the organisation oper-

ates and manages its affairs. When the Associations Incorporation Act 2015 (WA) commenced in 2016 all incorporated associations and

clubs were given three years to review and update their rules to meet the requirements of the Act. The transition period to change the rules

ended on 30 June 2019. If the rules have not been updated it is important to understand how this will affect your association or club.

The rules of every incorporated association and club in CKI are required to include all of the 19 matters listed in Schedule 1 of the Act. If any

of these Schedule 1 requirements are missing from an association or club’s rules the relevant clause(s) from the prescribed model rules will

be deemed to apply.

To avoid the uncertainty this may case, if it has not done so already, Consumer Protection encourages associations and clubs to review and

update the rules as soon as possible. There are checklists, publications and videos available on Consumer Protection’s website to assist

associations and clubs complete this process, including the Rules Workbook which provides a step by step guide to review and update the

rules. More information about updating the rules is available at www.dmirs.wa.gov.au/cp/changerules or by telephoning the Associations Gen-

eral Enquiry Line on 1300 30 40 74.


Services provided by Consumer Protection to the Indian Ocean Territories are fully funded by the Australian Government

through the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development’s Territories Division.

Healthy Living Tips

Quick Tips for Reducing Stress:

Health is about so much more than just eating well! You also need to take care of other things in your life that nourish you.

Practice deep conscious breathing throughout the day. You’ll be amazed at the immediate calming effect it has on your body. The “onebreath” meditation is a powerful, straightforward relaxation technique that can be practiced anytime, anywhere from your office to the subway!

Try it whenever you feel fatigued or out of whack: sit in a comfortable chair, straighten your back, relax your shoulders and take a deep breath. Let the air open your chest, and imagine that it is revitalizing ever cell in your body. Hold your breath for a count of 3, then exhale releasing every bit of tension. Repeat 8 times for a quick pick-me-up!

We lead very sedentary lives today, so it’s important to exercise and be as active as you can throughout your day.

Add movement in your day. One invaluable piece of advice regarding exercise is that you need to determine if you are a morning person or a night person.

The object is to insert the numbers in the boxes to satisfy only one condition: each row, column and group of squares enclosed by the bold lines must contain the digits 1 through 9 exactly once.

The rules for different size and shape puzzles are pretty much identical.
