Demolition Starts at Manly Sea Life Aquarium

Contractors have started preparations to demolish the derelict Manly Sea Life Aquarium building, a once-popular Sydney Harbour tourist attraction that has become an eyesore and safety hazard since its closure over six years ago.

The demolition, which is expected to take about four months, weather permitting, began in early July 2024. Transport for NSW, the site’s owner, aims to return the prime waterfront land to public open space.

During the demolition, the nearby Manly Pavilion restaurant and bar will remain open, while the harbourside Federation Walk will be closed. Transport for NSW has established a Project Infoline for community inquiries and will seek public feedback on future urban design features for the site’s revitalisation.

Project Background

The aquarium, purpose-built in the 1960s, was a beloved attraction featuring sharks, giant stingrays, sea turtles, and little penguins. It closed its doors in early 2018, leaving the building vacant and unfit for reuse.

Since its closure, the site has faced several issues, including vandalism and trespassing, anti-social behaviour, and safety risks from unauthorised access. In response to these concerns, Transport Minister Jo Haylen ordered officials to expedite the removal works, describing the building as an “eyesore and dangerous.”

Revised Plans for the Site

Transport for NSW has altered its original plans for the area. The new design includes retention of the aquarium’s circular footprint, creation of more space for outdoor dining, seating, and community uses, and future development of a revitalised promenade.

James Griffin, Liberal State MP for Manly, welcomed the changes, stating they would provide more open space and reduce demolition and reconstruction costs.

Little Penguin Population in Manly Plummets to Record Low

The treasured little penguin population in Manly has drastically declined to just 19 breeding pairs, the lowest number ever recorded, prompting urgent calls for community action to save the endangered seabirds from local extinction.

A recent report by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) revealed this alarming figure for the 2023-2024 season. This represents a significant drop from previous years, when the area boasted up to 70 breeding pairs.

History of Manly’s Little Penguins

The little penguins, also known as “fairy” penguins, were once a common sight in Manly Cove, Spring Cove, Little Manly, and Collins Flat beaches. According to the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), they form the only known breeding colony on the NSW mainland.

Previously, tourists could observe the penguins waddling from the water near Manly Wharf at dusk to spend the night under the wooden walkway on West Esplanade. Volunteer penguin “wardens” protected the birds during these nightly rituals.

Threats to the Penguin Population

Several factors have contributed to the penguins’ decline:

1. Boat strikes

2. Increased human activity

3. Coastal development

4. Predator attacks

Boat propeller injuries have been a significant cause of penguin deaths. Additionally, foxes, domestic dogs and cats pose severe threats to the birds. In 2015, a single fox killed 27 penguins at Collins Flat.

Call for Community Action

The Sydney Coastal Councils Group (SCCG) is urging recreational watercraft operators to adhere to boating rules designed to protect the penguins. Sarah Joyce, SCCG’s executive officer, stressed the need for urgent action to help the penguin population recover, highlighting boat strikes as a key threat.

To safeguard the remaining penguins, boaters are advised to:

1. Reduce speed to four knots or below when entering North Harbour, Manly

2. Exercise extra caution at dawn and dusk

3. Avoid anchoring in seagrass beds

4. Prohibit dogs and cats on beaches

The SCCG, in partnership with Transport for NSW, Northern Beaches Council and NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, aims to increase awareness of these rules in Spring Cove.

Despite the dire situation, Erica Mahon, DCCEEW’s senior threatened species officer, remains optimistic about the penguins’ future. She emphasised that community involvement is crucial for ensuring the survival of Manly’s little penguin population.

Manly Beach Volleyball Star Kicks Off His Olympics Campaign

Izac Carracher grew up on the Northern Beaches and though his junior tennis career was burgeoning, volleyball became his sport, where he represented Australia at Under 17 and Under 19 level.

It wasn’t until he had played in the NCAA in America for USC in Los Angeles and had returned to the University of Sydney that he began to play Beach Volleyball seriously.

Carracher began playing with Mark Nicolaidis in 2022 and the pair immediately won their first International tournament. The partnership has since gone from strength to strength and now find themselves representing Australia in the Paris Olympics.

The Aussie pairing will start their Olympic campaign off at 11:00 p.m. on 27 July Sydney time. They play the Swedish pairing of Ahman and Hellvig in Pool A at the incredibly iconic and telegenic Eiffel Tower Centre Court.

They play two other pairings in Pool A — the Italian pairing Cottafava and Nicolai(5:00 p.m. Sydney time on 29 July), as well as the Qatari pairing Cherif and Ahmed(6:00 p.m. Sydney time on 1 August).

The venue at Champ de Mars beneath the iconic Eiffel Tower, has a capacity of 12,000 people and will no doubt bring some of the best imagery from this Olympic games.

Stan Sport will have a dedicated Beach Volleyball channel to watch every match live.

Manly-Born Faith Nathan Gearing Up for Second Olympic Rugby Sevens Challenge

At just 23 years old, Faith Nathan is set to take centre stage as one of Australia’s top Rugby Sevens athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Her rapid ascent in the sport is a testament to her exceptional talent and unwavering dedication.

Born in Manly and raised in Berkeley Vale, Nathan’s athletic journey began with touch football. Her natural abilities quickly shone through, earning her the NSW Touch Association Junior Female Player of the Year award for the 2017-18 season while playing for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles.

Nathan’s prowess on the field caught the attention of the Parramatta Eels, where she continued to hone her skills in 2019.

Rugby excellence runs in the family, with Nathan’s uncle Drew having represented the Cook Islands at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Following in his footsteps, Faith made her debut for Australia in Rugby Sevens at the 2019 Dubai Sevens. Her impact was immediate, scoring three tries in the tournament as Australia reached the semi-finals undefeated.

The global pandemic may have delayed Nathan’s Olympic dreams, but it couldn’t dampen her spirit. When the Tokyo Games finally arrived in 2021, she seized the opportunity with both hands. Nathan’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, scoring four tries in her Olympic debut as Australia secured a respectable fifth-place finish.

Since then, Nathan has cemented her place as a key player in the Australian women’s sevens setup. Under the guidance of coach Tim Walsh, her game has continued to evolve. Her recent performances at the Hong Kong and Singapore tournaments in early 2024 earned her back-to-back selections for the tournament dream team, showcasing her world-class abilities.

Ultra Manly to Expand Services with New Laundromat

The popular Ultra Manly petrol station is set to add a new service to its offerings. The Northern Beaches Local Planning Panel has approved plans for the installation of a self-service laundromat at the Pittwater Road location.

Read: Tributes Pour in for Beloved Manly Resident, Philanthropist Kay Van Norton Poche

Ultra Manly revised plans gain approval

The approval comes after an initial setback in February when the original development application (DA) was rejected. The initial plans included an automatic drive-through car wash, which faced opposition from local residents due to concerns about noise, increased traffic, and overshadowing of neighbouring homes.

In response, Ultra modified their DA by removing the automatic car wash component. This revised plan successfully gained approval from the planning panel last week.

The approved modifications include:
– Installation of a prefabricated self-service laundromat
– Expansion of the sales area into the current mechanics’ workshop space
– Addition of a new bathroom for people with disabilities

Customers using the laundromat will have access to designated parking spaces along the southern boundary of the property. It will be available during the following hours:
– Monday to Friday: 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
– Weekends and public holidays: 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

The approval of this modified development application represents a compromise between the petrol station’s expansion plans and the concerns of local residents. By removing the automatic car wash from the proposal, Ultra has addressed some of the primary objections raised by the community.

Acoustics: The beer garden will receive acoustic treatments to enhance sound management.

Interior: Level 2 will see the existing bar removed and replaced with a new bar and bistro area.

Hotel Steyne, history and development

Hotel Steyne’s history is deeply intertwined with Manly’s development. Originally built in 1859 by Henry Gilbert Smith, the hotel has survived fires and rebuilds, continuously serving as a central fixture in the community. The current structure, dating back to the 1920s, stands as a testament to the area’s resilience and evolving character.

In 2019, Sydney property tycoon Sam Arnaout’s Iris Capital acquired Hotel Steyne for $65 million. This latest renovation follows a $3 million upgrade completed in 2020, which introduced a new cocktail bar, refurbished hotel rooms, and a coffee shop.

This $8 million refurbishment is part of a larger vision for the property. In 2022, Iris Capital received approval to construct a $16.2 million, four-storey apartment block attached to the northern side of the pub, facing the ocean on North Steyne.

Tributes Pour in for Beloved Manly Resident, Philanthropist Kay Van Norton Poche

The Manly community is in mourning following the passing of long-time resident and renowned philanthropist, Kay Van Norton Poche AO, who died on June 14 after a prolonged illness.

Read: Independent Support Worker Transforms Lives in Manly Through Personalised Care

Tributes have poured in from all corners of the community, particularly from organisations that benefited from her and her husband’s extraordinary generosity.

Kay Van Norton Poche, alongside her husband Greg Poche, donated over $150 million to various causes after selling Greg’s logistics business, Star Track Express, for $750 million in 2003. Her contributions to healthcare, Indigenous health initiatives, and community support have left an indelible mark in Australia.

The NORTH Foundation, which received significant support from Kay, expressed its deep sorrow in a heartfelt tribute: “It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Kay Van Norton Poche AO, a beloved friend and supporter of the NORTH Foundation. Kay’s legacy of generosity and compassion has left an indelible mark on our community and her unwavering commitment to advancing healthcare will inspire for generations to come.”

Similarly, the Adolescent and Young Adult Hospice (AYAH), which she ardently supported, shared its condolences: “It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Kay Van Norton Poche AO, a cherished friend and supporter of the Manly Adolescent and Young Adult Hospice. Kay’s generosity and compassion have profoundly impacted our community, and her dedication to healthcare will continue to inspire future generations.”

Kay’s philanthropy was especially notable in Manly, where she made a landmark donation of $6 million in 2018 to support the AYAH. This hospice, the first of its kind in Australia, offers vital care and respite to young people with life-limiting illnesses, as well as support for their families and carers.

Born in upstate New York, Kay Van Norton Poche made Manly her home for many years, becoming a passionate supporter of local causes and the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. Her dedication to the community extended to supporting the club’s Indigenous round jersey and numerous other initiatives.

Her contributions to health facilities across the nation are vast, with the Poches funding over $50 million to establish Poche Centres for Indigenous Health at universities around the country. This work earned her the title of Officer of the Order of Australia in 2019, in recognition of her distinguished service to Indigenous health and medical research initiatives, largely through the Poche Indigenous Health Network.

Kay was also a fervent supporter of the Melanoma Institute Australia, contributing several million dollars to their cause. Her commitment to advancing healthcare and supporting vital health services has left a lasting legacy that will benefit Australians for generations.

The NSW Parliament, represented by Member for Manly James Griffin, also paid tribute to Kay’s profound impact: “Her support of the Manly Adolescent and Young Adult Hospice will never be forgotten. The hospice is also known as Kay Van Norton Place. We are very grateful for her work. I will never forget the moment that she sought me out to make a donation to the hospice.”

Pamela Pritchard from Belrose and Michael Smith from Collaroy Plateau also received AMs for their contributions to community service and geological sciences.

AO (Officer of the Order of Australia): This is a higher level of recognition than the AM and is awarded for distinguished service of a high degree to Australia or to humanity at large. The recipients of this award have had a significant impact through their contributions and leadership.

Here are the 10 Northern Beaches awardees from the 2024 King’s Birthday honours list:

Name	Suburb	Award	Contribution

Mr Kevin Ernest WELDON AM	Manly (late)	AO	Distinguished service to surf lifesaving, publishing, animal welfare, and philanthropy.

AM (Member of the Order of Australia): This award is given for service in a particular locality or field of activity or to a particular group. It is lower than the AO but still recognizes significant achievement or meritorious service.

OAM (Medal of the Order of Australia): This is awarded for service worthy of particular recognition. Recipients of the OAM are usually those who have made valuable contributions at a local community level or whose achievements have a significant local impact.

Commemorative Services and Events

As the Commonwealth marks this significant occasion, an extra public holiday has been granted to most states on June 10, with varying dates across regions to ensure a spread of public holidays throughout the year. This weekend aligns with the UK’s annual Trooping the Colour parade, which commemorates the monarch’s official birthday, a tradition maintained for over 260 years.

Why Celebrate in June?

The timing for the King’s Birthday public holiday, widely observed in June despite the King’s actual birthday in November, is historically aligned with the UK due to the favourable weather conditions for public ceremonies. This tradition ensures that the celebrations and the associated honours list can be part of a grander, well-attended event.

Local Impact and Recognition

This year’s honours not only highlight the significant achievements of individuals from the Northern Beaches but also bring attention to the diverse ways in which these citizens have positively impacted their community and beyond. Their recognition serves as a beacon of inspiration and pride for the locals, showcasing the rich tapestry of dedication and service within the community.
