Council, Mayor get testy with fire chiefs over delayed $8m centre
Mayor Sarah McMahon held a Fire Control Centre summit yesterday, more than two years after the $8 million facility had been agreed. The meeting came in the wake of criticism from fire chiefs who issued a searing open letter slamming council inaction on the project.
In response to the letter, Hawkesbury City Council (HCC) issued an aggressive media release that, in part, blamed the Hawkesbury Rural Fire Service – along with state and federal governments – for the lack of suitable site for the Centre. Still, the HCC and Cr McMahon have both recommitted to finding a suitable site.

Windsor Office of Federal MP Susan Templeman Vandalised
Federal Member for Macquarie Susan Templeman has referred the spraying of her office in Windsor Saturday night with pro-Palestine graffiti to the Australian Federal Police but has reasserted her long-standing support for the Palestinian people.
Templeman’s is the latest in a string of Federal Labor MP’s offices to be targeted with graffiti as well as others which have had fake dead bodies dumped on their doorsteps.
Triple Zero Calls Spike as Heatwave Takes its Toll
Western Sydney experienced a day of extreme heat, with temperatures soared to a scorching 43.5 degrees at Penrith, just shy of the forecasted 44-degree peak. The Hawkesbury region, accustomed to warm days, found its residents up and about early in the morning, embarking on shopping errands and exercising before the oppressive heat settled in. Some businesses didn’t open due to the conditions and sporting events were postponed or cancelled.
