Bay & Basin Buses Quick Trip 4 - Basin View to HomeCo. Vincentia

So, here we are again with more virtual Quick Trips on our local buses around the Bay & Basin buses. I understand bus drivers are anxiously waiting to see these trips and understand the work put into this project to get more people catching buses around our area. It is really a psychological change that is required, to actually leave your expensive car at home and use the public transport buses to your advantage.

This video is the Quick Trip number 4 - Basin View to HomeCo. Vincentia - quite an enjoyable trip, as far as I feel. We seem to have the luxury of cars to take us around for the majority of our community but I feel if people would like to try our buses, they will understand we have a very cheap form of public transport to get to places.

So, please spend quality time watching the full video, so you see how easy it is to use our local buses. All feedback will be appreciated

*102 Scenic Bus from Nowra Coaches is my description of this bus service, signifying it is a slower bus service from Basin View to the Nowra/Bomaderry, compared to the 102X (Express from St Georges basin to Woollamia and the same as the 102 Nowra Coaches from Wollamia to Nowra/Bomaderry).

Bay & Basin Buses - Quik Trip 3 - St George Basin to Basin View

If you have watched the first two videos of The Bay & Basin Buses, here is the third one. This trip is from St Georges Basin to Basin View using the *102 Scenic Bus from Nowra Coaches, which is here for you to see. 

which I also These trips are one-way journeys, so you must imagine the return journeys as the reverse of that trip you are watching. 

Remember these trips encourage you as a community to catch local buses to get to important local areas, for yourself.

General feedback on the last video has questioned when the Bus Service video will be shown going through Tomerong, here. My answer is 'shortly'. This has raised some issues for Tomerong commuters catching buses. Those issues have been referred to Shoal Bus and that person has been advised to provide feedback to them as well. Any resolution here, I will let you know here.

All bus drivers have provided their approval to film these trips, to help people in our community understand where our buses can take you.

Michael Maguire Officially Announced As Blues Origin Coach - NRL.com


The NSW Rugby League Board has appointed Michael Maguire as the new head coach of the NSW Blues.

Maguire, 49, fresh from steering the New Zealand national team to a historic 30-0 Pacific Cup Final win over the Kangaroos this month, will become the 16th coach of the Blues following the end of Brad Fittler’s six-year tenure. Maguire has coached 303 First Grade games with Wigan (2010-2011), South Sydney (2012-17) and Wests Tigers (2019-22), winning the 2010 Super League title, 2011 Challenge Cup, and 2014 NRL premiership with the Rabbitohs.

NSWRL Chief Executive David Trodden made the announcement on Thursday at the NSWRL Centre of Excellence, also revealing that Maguire’s high-performance team will include John Cartwright (Broncos), Matt King (Roosters), and Brett White (Titans).

Highly respected Melbourne Storm football manager Frank Ponissi will be the Blues' team performance manager, with other appointments including Andrew Gray (physical performance manager) and Sean Edwards (strength and conditioning), who also have extensive NRL club experience.

“On behalf of the NSWRL Chairman Paul Conlon and the Board, it gives me great pleasure to announce Michael Maguire has agreed to a multi-year appointment as the head coach of the Westpac NSW Blues, starting from 2024," Trodden said. 

“In recent years we have been blessed with the stability of long-term coaching tenures with Brad Fittler, Laurie Daley and Ricky Stuart and we are looking forward to this engagement following the same pattern.

We all have expectations of immediate success in 2024 together with the opportunity to build a structure that will provide for sustained long-term success. David Trodden

Editor's Notes: I feel that a change should be a good change in the right direction. Michael is a good coach, especially when he guided South Sydney to a grand final win in 2014. I hope the players look up to him and keep the NSW Cockroach's pride.

Core Rate Pegs for 2024-25 Financial Year Range 4.5 - 5.5%

 

It appears that the new NSW IPART rate peg measurements are forcing investors out of the market. When you look at this increase. they mention that Councils can add the increases from years that weren't increased. So, what does that mean? What happens if  Councils put down on their projects. It seems Councils allocate funds to projects and the money disappears or dwindles to Executive fees and staff fees.

From Mr Google:

When factoring in bonuses and additional compensation, a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at NSW Government can expect to make an average total pay of $200,000.

Some projects are vital and important to be commenced and completed. Why should ratepayers bear the brunt of Council rate- pegging even when it is factored down to natural disasters and COVID-19 rising costs. Our Prime Minister wanted inflation to increase, so wages increased when he was first elected. Now, does he still want inflation to rise so that rates and cost of living goes up?
