“You can be assured that chocolates are
made fresh here every day, unlike other
chocolates you buy in stores which are
made overseas, or interstate.”

This year, ChocolArts is celebrating its 15th
Easter in Gladesville.

“We have a high standard of excellence
and take great pride in each chocolate we
make.”

ChocolArts is located at 207 Victoria Road

potential readership, overwhelmingly support. erendum asking people “what they would like to do with the civic centre” is such a terrible idea.
Warmest Regards,
Jerome Laxale Firstly, residents have had their say multiple times on what they want to happen on the Ryde
Mayor of Ryde Civic Centre site. 

Dear Readers, We let you judge our fairness and transparency. They had their say in 2012, when they elected a Council to stop the Ryde Liberals building 2 x

ruary 24 as an example.
- The Editorial Team They had their say in 2017, when they elected this Council to kill the expensive design compe-
tition process which wasted $1 million of ratepayers’ money for nothing more than a proposal to
build a 40 storey residential tower on the site.

They again had their say when 85% supported the current plans to redevelop the site.
And, residents then had their say when the two development applications for the site were
lodged, and subsequently approved. 
To suggest a referendum to gauge community sentiment, when our community has been in-
volved in this process for a decade shows how out of touch Mr Dominello is on this issue.
To further support his call for a referendum, Mr Dominello suggests that the Ryde Civic Centre
could be of local heritage significance.
This suggestion ignores the fact the building has been assessed for local heritage significance
and that that has been dealt with through the conditions of consent. These conditions were ap-
proved by the NSW Government and the Sydney North Planning Panel. 
Items of heritage significance will be saved from the demolition and incorporated into the new
build. 
To compound the issue, Mr Dominello has also made a number of false and misleading claims
in his call for a referendum.
Despite what he claims, rates will not go up to fund this project. This was a clear requirement
for Council to proceed with this project. 
A refurbishment of the current Ryde Civic Centre and Civic Hall would also cost more than four
times the $16 million figure quoted by Mr Dominello and would leave our City with a useless
building and hall too small to service our growing community.
We now know that developers will do everything they can to once again try to build apartments
on our land. It is interesting that Mr Dominello has decided he wants to delay this project with a
referendum when he didn’t call for one when the Liberals wanted to build hundreds of apart-
ments on the site.
His call for a referendum is, at its best, unnecessary. At its worst, it is a cynical attempt to delay
this crucial project and leave the door open once again for developers. He needs to withdraw his
claim for a referendum and support our community who overwhelmingly support Council’s plans
to build world class public facilities on our doorstep.

20 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 24 March, 2021

Tigers celebrate Grand Final Win!
By the one eyed Tiger
The Tigers celebrate their grand final win at TIO stadium in Darwin on Saturday night. 
Tigers win the Grand Final and I can hear
the cinics and critics saying what nonsense
and BS is this!
Well dear beloved OET readers it is gospel
truth and I am not referring to 1969 or 2008! It
is genuine 2021.
And hopefully a sign of better days ahead.
Coz the Tigers won their grand final this
year with a thrilling seven point victory in the
Northern Territory Football League’s show-
piece match on Saturday night.
The Nightcliff Tigers defeated St Mary’s with
seconds left in extra time to win by 16.14 (110)
to 16.7 (103) in what our mates in the Top End
describe as the most thrilling game in NTFL
history.
The match winning goal by the Tigers’ Trent
Melville was slotted home from 40 metres out
on a slight angle.  
The victory is the Tigers’ third premiership
in three years and is a tribute to the tenacity
of the team in black and gold, which staged
an amazing fightback after being down by 19
points in the final quarter with time ticking
away.
Our mates reckon the ferocity of the Ti-
gers’ final assault was only matched by
their passionate celebration when the siren
sounded.
And proof is the celebratory picture left.
Now let’s hope our beloved rugby league
Tigers can emulate the successof our Terri-
torian cousins.
First blow will be this Sunday up Newcastle
way when the Tigers straighten out the Frights
followed Sunday week at Parra swampland
when we taken on the Jellied Eels before our
first genuine home game at Leichhardt Oval
HQ in round 5 when we Tackle the Cowgirls.
It’ll be a case of all out to Leichhardt HQ
Sunday April 11. See ya there.
