Locals fight Thirroul redevelopment plans
Redevelopment plans would result in Coles doubling in size and 77 residential units being built, but there are plenty of Thirroul residents who aren’t happy about the proposal to develop the local plaza. Critics have said it would take away some of the village charm, as well as remove vital on-street parking spots for local businesses.
Proponent says the project could generate 2000 jobs
No Auslan tutors available for local child
Twelve months ago, when Tilly Linturn’s NDIS funding was approved, her parents were hopeful that their daughter would finally get the help she needed to learn Auslan. But the Illawarra family quickly found that accessing an Auslan tutor who would be able to provide the individualised lessons Tilly required would not be simple.
Now they’re getting desperate. What can the family do?
Blindness no barrier for local jewellery maker
Making jewellery is tricky at the best of times, let alone if you can’t see. Shellharbour’s Keely Payne is legally blind, but that doesn’t stop her creating vibrant and intricate beaded jewellery. She uses braille and her finely-tuned sense of touch — and she’s turning it from a hobby into a business.
Watch how easy she makes it look as she explains why she loves it

How do the pollies intend to win over the Gilmore voters?

What else made news in the past week?
More success for champion ducks: Dapto duck breeder Gerald Farrugia’s Indian runner duck Felicia has been crowned the second-best bird at the Royal Easter Show. Felicia is the daughter of Ferdinand (pictured), who took out grand champion bird at last year’s show and won best drake in the water fowl category this year. Ulladulla’s Damien Cooper won the grand champion bird prize for his black bantam Australorp Cockerill, which you can read about here.
Illawarra skills shortage: Regional Development Australia says the Illawarra is facing a potential skills shortage because of dwindling population migration. The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data revealed the region’s population is growing at a slower rate than any other region in the state.
Education scholarships: The Illawarra-based Housing Trust has awarded 32 education scholarships to its clients to continue their workplace and training opportunities. The program has grown from providing three scholarships back in 2017, and has awarded more than $100,000 in prizes.
Digiglio to contest Gilmore: Former Shoalhaven councillor Nina Digiglio says she will run for the seat of Gilmore as an independent candidate in next month’s federal election. Ms Digiglio says she will run predominately on an anti-vaccination platform under the slogan “empower Gilmore”.
Church site scraping scrapped: Shoalhaven council has voted not to proceed with site scraping at the Huskisson church site to determine whether there are any Aboriginal graves on the property. The site, which was sold in 2018, is slated for development as a conference and accommodation centre.
Anti-corruption commission: The Shadow Attorney General, Mark Dreyfus, has renewed calls for a federal anti-corruption commission during a visit to the Illawarra. Labor is promising to establish a national ICAC if it wins the federal election, and Mr Dreyfus says political transparency in Australia is at an all-time low.
