July 1 - 31, 2026: Issue 656

Rally For Mona Vale

Rally at
  • Mona Vale Memorial Hall
  • 1 Park Street Mona Vale
  • from noon - Saturday, 25th July 2026
Bring the family - bring your outside voice

Speakers
Angus Gordon, OAM - legendary warrior for our coastal environment will expose the struggling sewage and water system on the peninsula; the State government wants to add thousands more toilets to the load. Find out what happens to your poo and pee as it spews into the sea.
 
Jacqui Scruby - our independent Member for Pittwater  - parliamentary sessions are over for the moment. Jacqui will give us the latest on her efforts for our community in Parliament.
 
Miranda Korzy - NB Councillor - shortage of rentable properties in Pittwater? Maybe not. Miranda will expose the 7000 properties sitting vacant and discuss what can be done. 
 
What a duo - Shane Withington - "the saviour of Currawong Beach" and Parry Thomas - "battler for Mona Vale Hospital" - legendary campaigners both - will arm us for the battle.
 
Pittwater people do not go quietly.
 
There will be an open mic - an opportunity for you to have your say and a chance to ask questions of our speakers.
 
We will be videoing the event.
 
In June, the State Government approved the first State Significant Disaster for Mona Vale; 3 x 8 blocks in a Darley Street West and only weeks later a developer proposed 13 storeys for the corner of Mona Vale Rd and Pittwater Rd, and the Wilson-Wilga development with hundreds of houses at the top of Mona Vale Rd has been flagged through to the next stage.

See: SSDs for Mona Vale: 40.7 metres Height, to 12 storeys + 8 Storeys on East Darley Street: not open for submissions yet + Ingleside Wilga Wilson Proposal: to proceed to Gateway Determination Submission by Sydney North Planning Panel
 
Was there ever a time that Mona Vale needed you more?
 
The State Government believes you will just standby and let this happen. They forget who they work for - in the March 2027 State elections we get to remind them 
 
Reserve the date and turn out.

Manly Warringah Netball Association MWNA: Safety First

As we head into Game weekend, it has been wonderful to see such a big support crew down at the courts cheering on our teams. The atmosphere has been fantastic 💙

Just a little reminder though that we have a huge number of games running across a very busy venue, with limited space around the courts. Please ensure younger siblings are supervised at all times. Last weekend we had a few incidents with small children running into umpires, skating onto courts and balls travelling through active games.

John Fisher Park is an open public space, so children should also be supervised when heading to the canteen, toilets or the park.

For everyone’s safety:

❌ Please leave bikes, skateboards and scooters at home

❌ E-bikes are not permitted within John Fisher Park. If they are being used as transport to and from the courts, they are to be left at the bike racks along Abbott Road and not brought between the courts

❌ Our furry friends are best left at home too

❌ Chairs should be set up at the ends of courts and away from the umpire’s lines.

Thank you everyone for helping us create a safe and enjoyable environment for all players, officials and spectators this weekend. Let Netball be the winner.

Peter Garrett at Mona Vale Hotel this November: Tickets on Sale June 30 - 2nd date at MV added

Peter Garrett;
''I’m delighted to announce that in the lead-up to The Alter Egos appearance at Queenscliff Music Festival, we’ll be heading to Sydney, Brisbane and Brunswick Heads for a few intimate shows in November.

Grateful to be sharing the stage with some wonderful musicians; including Martin Rotsey, Kram (Spiderbait), Heather Shannon (The Jezabels), Zoe Hauptmann (Missy Higgins, Ian Moss), and Grace and May Garrett (Raintalker).

We'll play songs from all over: A Version Of Now, The True North, revisit some Oils catalogue, and of course take a few unexpected detours along the way.

Music has always been a nourishing tonic for me, a powerful way to express thoughts and feelings about the world around us, and while a fair bit of my time has been taken up with other roles at the moment I really can’t wait to get back onstage for a few nights, and make some sweet noise with great musical mates.

Tickets go on sale now and all the details: petergarrett.com.au

1 Waratah Street Mona Vale - June 14 2026:
Over the past four years we've had the privilege of getting to know the Mona Vale and wider Barrenjoey community, listening to your feedback and learning what you love most about spending time with us.

As a result, we're excited to begin a series of upgrades to our kitchen, bar and dining areas. These improvements will allow us to take our food and beverage offering in an exciting new direction while continuing to provide the welcoming atmosphere you've come to know and enjoy.

And don't worry — the margaritas aren't going anywhere. They'll just be enjoyed in a more comfortable environment.

As we work through these changes, we'll be pausing our 'Sunday Sounds' for the time being. We'd like to sincerely thank all of the musicians who have performed with us, and the wonderful community that has supported them along the way.

We're incredibly excited about what the future holds and look forward to sharing more with you soon — including our new menu.

Motov8ing Boys

  • When: Monday July 20 2026
  • Where: Warriewood Community Centre, Warriewood
  • Tickets: $53.00 HERE
Motov8ing Boys is an event for boys aged 11-17 and their parents unlike anything you've ever been to as a family, we hope you'll join us.

Do you worry about your sons attitude & behaviour?

Does he need help building courage, confidence & resilience?

Does he struggle to care about or see his potential?

Or are you just tired of repeating yourself over and over again only to get the same result, or even worse…no response at all?
Who is John McMahon from Motov8 aka The Rev?

John or Rev as he’s more commonly known is a youth specialist with over 35 years experience working with young people in schools, sporting clubs & families across Australia, NZ & the UK. Through Motov8ing Boys events, seminars & talks delivered in schools, Rev has helped inspire & influence thousands of young people to make smarter more informed decisions.
As parents it is our role to guide and advise our sons but it's for that exact reason they often don't want to listen. Sometimes the same message communicated in a different way and by a different person, is all that's needed to start to turn things around.

This event gives parents the opportunity to expose their sons to real advice about life in terms of when the 'rubber hits the road'. Rev engages young males through the use of motorcycles & draws from his years of rider experience to help them to navigate the twists, turns & obstacles that inevitably come across on the ride of life. This event is about much more than motorcycles so even if that's not you or your sons thing there's still a lot of value to be taken away from it.

If you answered yes & can relate to some or maybe even all of these then the Motov8ing Boys event is for you and it's time you met John McMahon.

Motov8ing Boys' is an event for Boys aged 11-17 and their parents; the goal is to help them to understand the power of a positive attitude, how to develop competence & confidence, how to change destructive behaviour, how to identify personal potential & understand the importance of self-respect & respecting others, especially their parents.

Savage Angels

  • When: Tuesday 21 July,  7 PM - 9 PM
  • Where: Warriewood Community Centre, Warriewood
  • Tickets: $53.00 HERE
Savage Angel is an event for girls aged 11-17 and their parents unlike anything you've ever been to as a family, we hope you'll join us.

Do you worry about your daughters attitude & behaviour? 
Does she struggle with a poor sense of self worth or fail to see her potential?
Does she lack courage, confidence & that spark she used to have?
Is she obsessed with her phone, social media or other tech?
Does she struggle to surround herself with friends who are good for her?
Or are you just tired of repeating yourself over and over again only to get the same result, or even worse…no response at all?

If you answered yes & can relate to some or maybe even all of these then a Savage Angels event is for you.

Savage Angels is an event for girls aged 11-17 & their parents that's focused on Inspiring, Informing & Instructing them how to make smarter more informed decisions in life. We want to empower girls to hold core values that will allow them to stand strong in the face of social media & peer group influences. We know this event has the potential to make a huge difference in girls lives & their futures.

Palm Beach Markets: 

4th Sunday of the month, 9am to 3pm.

The Palm Beach Market has been operating since 2008. As Palm Beach is the most northerly part of Sydney, every weekend tourists and locals alike stream north attracted by Palm Beach’s idyllic setting and its ‘destination’ status with the market trading all year round.

The market offers customers a wider choice of products to peruse to add to the current high quality homewares, fashion and jewellery. Buy a loaf of fresh bread, grab some French cheese or take home some famous Pho Bay Vietnamese soup and as always a great coffee. Buskers and Hair Feathers also available.

Surfing Mums & Dads

Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children. 

The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am. 

Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.

We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
