Randwick City Council is building a new $700,000 skate park in Chifley Reserve, off Bunnerong Road.

To help design the new skate park, Council set up an advisory group of local experienced skaters, skate park design specialists and Council landscape designers.

This group developed the design for this exciting new facility.The skate park will include a pump hump, euro gap, hubbas, grind rails, a boomerang bowl, taco, transitions, and a wedge bank with hubas. The designs have been presented at the local precinct committees meetings at La Perouse and Matraville.

The design includes shelter and weather screening, seating and landscaping with native plants.

The simple robust modular shade structure and laser cut steel screening walls will now use skate silhouette images.

Kitchen food scraps

Consultation has concluded.

Food scraps survey-Thank you!Thank you for completing the food scraps survey. We’ve had an overwhelming response with over 8300 completed surveys returned. This is the largest response to a Randwick City Council community survey ever. The survey showed overwhelming support from our community for kitchen waste recycling. You can download a full copy of the report from this site.

Food scraps collection service

Since November 2013, Randwick City Council has been trialling food scraps collection. Some 4,900 units participated and we have collected 60 tonnes of food waste so far.

About 40% garbage bin content is food waste and by recycling food waste, we can reduce landfill costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Food waste can be recycled as compost and used to generate electricity.

The NSW Government has a target to increase the recycling rate for solid waste to 70% by 2021-22. Food waste recycling can help meet this target, reduce costs and give an environmental benefit.

Information for food scraps trial participants

Compostable Bin liners

You can pick these up during working hours from:

  • Administrative Centre, 30 Frances Street, Randwick
  • Randwick Community Centre, 30 Munda Street, Randwick

  • Bowen Library and Community Centre, 669-673 Anzac Parade, Maroubra
  • Margaret Martin Library, Level 1, Royal Randwick Shopping Centre, Randwick

Kitchen benchtop bins/caddies

If you have moved into a unit block that has food scraps collection service and need a kitchen caddy, contact Council on 1300 722 542.

Learn more about EWP training

What is EWP?

EWP, or Elevated Work Platform, is a mobile working platform that can lift contractors up and down to access high places as well as move equipment needed. EWPs are considered dangerous to work with as they are heavy mobile equipment that measures up to 11 meters or more. Operators who need to work using EWPs are required to have a license as evidence that they can work and control this type of heavy equipment.

Here is some of the important information one should learn more about EWP training:

 

  1. CLASSIFICATION OF ELEVATING WORK PLATFORMS

Scissor Lifts

It is a machine used to move construction personnel or equipment in a vertical direction. This is usually used for work that needs a ladder, a tower, or scaffolding.

 

Self-propelled Boom Lifts

It is used to work in high areas like buildings. Its purpose is to reach certain obstacles and provide easier access to high areas. It’s most commonly seen in the construction industry, but it’s also seen in window cleaning, CCTV installation, facility management, and electrical and cable repair.

Trailer or vehicle-mounted lifts

This is used for lighter jobs like the construction of small houses and low buildings. It can be easily connected to a car’s tow bar, which could work as a scaffold and ladder. It is also used for some outdoor tasks such as painting houses and caring for lampposts and trees.

 

  1. HOW TO SET UP AND OPERATE ELEVATED WORK PLATFORMS

Familiarize and understand the parts of the elevating platform you are using. This will become your guide and will help you know how and what necessary things are needed to operate the EWPs.

Why You Need Co Working Space?

If you are considering taking an office on rent, then you must make sure that you get the best office at the best price. If you are on a low budget, then a co-working space can be the best option for you. In the past few years, co-working space has become one of the best options for small entrepreneurs and business owners.
One of the best parts of taking a co-working space is that you have to pay half price for getting an office but provides you a personal space for doing your work. Working at home is not as good as working in an office as you do not get the environment you are looking for when you are sitting at your home. Apart from that, co-working spaces offer different amenities such as office equipment, audio/video equipment, reserved desks, meeting room, conference room, internet access, etc. It also has many other important arrangements required for an office. Before you take any co-working space, make sure that you consider certain factors, or else you might end up taking the wrong decision.

The environment of an office can never match that environment of the house. Most entrepreneurs and small business owners find it very difficult to work from home as the chances of distraction are much higher at home than in offices. Television, children, and pets are some of the examples that can cause distraction. You can work anywhere from home to local coffee shops but you do not get a productive environment as you get in an office. It is true that you have to spend to get a co working space but it will be worth the price. If you spend your hard-earned money on getting an office, you might not get what you were looking for, but you …

how to pick a good personal trainer randwick

Do you want to learn how to run, but struggling with the training programs or activity groups at your local gym? Or maybe you want a personal trainer for weight loss, but haven’t found one you like that offers a low-cost option.

 

A personal trainer may seem like an expensive luxury, but in all reality it’s not that costly. Just know what you’re looking for and where to find them before making any rash decisions.

 

Below are 5 things you should look for in a personal trainer.

 

1.You want to find a trainer you connect with They need to find out if they can relate to you. Many times, people think a trainer will be able to help them with their problems or offer them greater knowledge in the process, but the opposite can happen when they don’t connect with their clients. A good trainer won’t just be there for your progress, but will also make sure it’s a great experience for you as well.

2.A good fit You want someone who is right for you and not someone who simply resembles the people that are showing up at your local gym everyday. Before you commit to any trainer or training institution, ask around and look into their programs before making a commitment.

 

3.They’re qualified Look into if they have the proper credentials to be working with clients or athletes. Make sure they are certified and registered with whatever governing body that regulates personal trainers in your area, such as the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), or NSCA. You don’t want to see your trainer working with a few clients while they’re still in school or learning the ropes. You want someone who has experience and knows what they’re doing.

Afterpay car wheels australia

Introduction

These wheels are designed so that you can also purchase them with Afterpay, which means you can buy what you want now and just not worry about paying until later. But it also means that you’re not obligated to go in with a credit card and pay up front. This is perfect if you want to buy now and then figure out how much you owe later.

 

Features

1) They come in a great range of packages.

 

2) The pricing is realistic and much more affordable than similar wheels.

 

3) You can get a credit card that’s interest free for 18 months, so you won’t be charged interest on your first one as well. This will give you the opportunity to go ahead and buy what you want now with all the flexibility that Afterpay offers plus, of course, all the comfort of knowing that you won’t be charged in advance for anything.

4) They have a small defect but it’s not that important. The wheel is free for the time being and we do believe that the wheel will be fixed in the near future. Afterpay is a big name as far as payment goes, so we don’t think people will be upset with us for giving them this discount in exchange for waiting out an updated wheel.

 

5) They’re great to look at and they all come in colors that really make them pop. The black and white one really makes the best show of everything, but of course there are also colors in blue and red and yellow if you want something a little more unusual.

CrossFirePower

In an age where the term “multi-core” is used as a marketing buzzword for increased performance in mobile devices and games, power efficiency has become more important than ever.

 

CrossFirePower is a program that benchmarks the power usage of any application on your phone and provides accurate measurements of power efficiency. These measurements are collected over time to provide data on which apps are most efficient and which apps use the most power without providing an improved level of performance.

Using the power meter built into your Android phone, CrossFirePower is able to provide more accurate information than any other program on the Google Play Store.

We measure:

# of cores used

# of threads used

Clock speed

Device temperature (compared to ambient)

GPU clock speed for Android phones with discrete GPUs (GeForce and Adreno)These measurements are taken after running an application for a period of time as determined by the user in order to allow time for other processes to complete.

 

As there are different variations of Android, we have several versions of CrossFirePower. All have the same purpose but some hardware configurations may be more or less appropriate for your application.

The newest version is v3.1 with an option to select different Power Graphs for each app and a new Javascript API that will provide even deeper insight into how your phone’s resources are being used.

CrossFire Power is free, despite the fact that I’m making money from adverts on the app. It is fully compatible with Android 2.2 and later.

Version 3.0

v3 will be the first with the new Javascript API and a Log View that will display detailed data similar to the power meter you see in the app (but much more detailed).

I’m hoping to release v3 in July, but due …

How to find an online doctor in Australia

This is a fairly common question, so here are three ways to do it, depending on how much time you have, whether you’re good with computers or not, and how much money you have.

If you’ve got all the time in the world

 

The simplest way of course is to just walk into your doctor’s office and ask her for a referral, but if you’ve got a lot of time on your hands and want to avoid an office appointment as much as possible, here are some other options.

 

Online directories

One way is to go to the web site of the country’s largest doctor search directory (which is probably Australian Doctor , which lists more than 135 000 doctors in Australia) and type in your search criteria there. This will give you a list of doctors who meet your description, along with their contact details – no web site or email necessary. If you have the time to spare, this may be the best approach for you if you don’t have any preferences as to location or gender when it comes to choosing a doctor.

The downside is that you’ll have to pay a fee of around $40 for their service, however if you search often enough you may be able to work it into your yearly cleaning or check-up – the more frequently you visit your online doctor in Australia, the more opportunities there are. You can also avoid this by getting a membership with one of the other directories listed below, where you can even set up a regular time for them to call and remind you.

Where to Buy Vapes Online in Australia

Vaping is a new trend that has caught on quickly. Vapes are electronic device, often shaped like a cigarette, which heats the liquid to create the sensation of smoking without actually burning tobacco or any other substance. This type of smoking cessation can be more effective than nicotine patches or gum because it mimics the motions and sensations smokers associate with cigarettes. Individuals who want to quit smoking should consider how vaping might fit into their plans.

 

Where to Buy Vapes Online in Australia?

Online vaping stores have gradually been gaining popularity as electronic cigarettes and other products gain traction with smokers. These online retailers offer convenience and a wider range of options that can be found on the high street or at other local vendors, but they also tend to offer lower prices for the same products.

These shops are convenient, but there are some risks connected to purchasing online. For example, it is difficult to inspect a product before making a purchase decision. Additionally, these stores may not offer the customer service necessary when it comes time to make an exchange or return items that don’t work correctly. There are also concerns about the quality of products purchased from overseas manufacturers. Some nations do not have strict standards for these types of products, which can be dangerous when they are used to create a product that is inhaled into the lungs on a daily basis.

When it comes to buying vapes online, there are a number of factors to consider. First and foremost, it is important to do your research in order to find a reputable retailer. Look for stores that have been around for a while and have positive customer reviews. Next, be sure to check the quality of the products offered by the store before …
