Council has approved the erection of eight shops at Tuross as part of a five stage development proposal for the Evans Road area, and it is hoped they will be completed by the end of the year. Later stages include the construction of a service station and the erection of both a hotel and a motel. The erection of the hotel represents stage four of the proposal and although construction is not planned for at least five years, many Tuross residents have already started their objections to Council.
A proposal to build a factory on the southern side of the Potato Point Road at Bodalla is to be given favorable consideration by Council. ‘C’ Riding Committee considered the matter and a plan was submitted by the Town Planner showing how a small industrial area could be developed in stages, having frontage to a private service road while the development was attractively screened. Mr Ron Miller proposes to buy the land from the Bodalla Company and erect the Factory.
Another two local pet dogs have died in Bateman’s Bay in the last week as a result of eating suspected poisoned meat. A reward has been offered for information leading to the conviction of the poisoner and a collection has been started by residents.
Two Moruya people were married at St. John’s Church of England, Moruya, on Saturday. Rhonda Hunt, daughter of Mr and Mrs R. Hunt married Ray Riches, son of Mr and Mrs Don Riches. The service was conducted by the Rev. Mike Cockayne.
Albert George Coppin, an old Moruya identity, passed away recently at the age of 80 years. Bert had spent all his life in Moruya and never married. His two main loves in life were for his native Moruya, and for the field of sport. In the far away days when cricket flourished in these parts, he was a prominent all-rounder in Moruya’s first grade side being a contemporary of such memorable players as Carter, Selden, and Brierly. He played his first game in first grade at the age of 15. But he is perhaps better remembered as a tower of strength in Moruya’s golden years of Rugby League in the twenties.
Bert Coppin’s exceptional strength combined with expert handling and kicking placed him on the vanguard of the Moruya pack. His father was well-known as ‘The Wattle Bark King’ and Bert was an active collaborator in this industry for many years. He was eldest son of the late John and Agnes Coppin, and is survived by two sisters, Della (Mrs Mitchell) and Doris (Mrs Mordaunt), and one brother John.
