The final item on that list is a code of conduct complaint made against an unnamed councillor, which has been referred to an outside body for investigation with an estimated cost of $5200. The Mercury understands the complaint was lodged by another cou…

    Wollongong's Halfway bar aims for 2am closure on Sundays - Illawarr...

    A new CBD bar is hoping people are keen to kick on after midnight on a Sunday.

A development application has been lodged with Wollongong City Council to change the hours on Thursday and Sunday nights from midnight to 2am - the same time as it closes the doors of a Friday and Saturday night. The statement of environmental effects states…

    Grinspoon's return: New music, fitness routines, and tour - Cessnoc...

    Age may be catching up with Grinspoon - in the mornings they’re more likely to be sporting activewear than a hangover. The band formed in 1995 and went down in history by winning the first ever Triple J Unearthed competition. Now, almost 30 years later Grinspoon is back with new material and a 45-date tour; which has the potential to take more out of the band compared to their old days as a hard-partying act. Bassist Joe Hansen admitted the band had become a tad more responsible with age. “We ge…

    Wollongong plans to limit cars in CBD for urban revival - Illawarra...

    Cars could be virtually driven out of the Wollongong CBD under a draft city council plan. The possible measures floated by the Wollongong City Centre Movement & Place Plan include measures to stop people topping up parking meters and seeing kerbside parking spaces used for alfresco dining. There is also a focus on pushing through traffic onto Corrimal and Denison streets, rather than having them make an unnecessary trip through the CBD. “For a long time, Wollongong city centre has been domin…

    Hearing the real story - The North West Star

    When you’ve created a very popular TV series in You Can’t Ask That, how do you follow it up? For creator Kirk Docker it was a matter of taking the bare bones of that concept and turning it into I Was Actually There. The series hears from eye-witness to events like Port Arthur and the Boxing Day tsunami to the 1964 Beatles tour of Australia and the moment AFL player Nicky Winmar pulled up his jersey and pointed out the colour of his skin. Aside from not wanting to “make something that’s crappy” D…
