NOVEMBER COUNCIL MEETING: Council held it’s Ordinary Meeting for November last Wednesday on West Island. At this
meeting Council approved the following:

   A.      Three approvals for three new temporary accommodation dwellings on West Island;
   B.      New policies for Camping, Complaints Handling, Recovery of Sundry Debts and Asset Management – copies of these
           policies are on the Shire’s website https://shire.cc/images/files/Policies/Policy_Manual_2020_-_FINAL_V4.pdf
    C.     The meeting schedule for 2021. The schedule is given on Page 8 of this edition of the Atoll and on the Shire’s website:
           https://shire.cc/en/your-council/meetings.html
    D.     Council also supported a request from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) to
           waive the fee for the use of the Elevated Work Platform (EWP) for treating wasp nests. This will make allow the team
           to be much more effective in this work. See below for update on numbers of nests treated over the last fortnight by
           Razali and Aslie.
MITING KONSEL BULAN NOVEMBER: Konsel mengadakan Miting untuk bulan November Rabu lalu di Pulu Panjang. Pada
mitingan ini Konsel menyetujui perkara yang berikut:

   A.     Tiga persetujuan untuk tiga tempat tinggal sementara di Pulu Panjang;
   B.     Polisi baru untuk menginap, Cara Menanggong Komplen, Pemulihan Hutang dan Aset Manajemen - salinan polisi ini
          terdapat di website Shire https://shire.cc/images/files/Policies/Policy_Manual_2020_-_FINAL_V4.pdf
   C.     Jadual miting untuk 2021. Jadual terdapat di halaman 8 di Atoll ini dan di website Shire:
          https://shire.cc/en/your-council/meetings.html
   D.     Konsel jugak menyokong permintaan dari Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) untuk
          membebaskan bayaran penggunaan Elevated Work Platform (EWP) untuk merawat tarangan wasp. Ini akan membuat
          tim menjadi lebih berkesan dalam kerja ini. Lihat di bawah untuk maklumat mengenai jumlah tarangan yang dirawat
          selama 2 minggu terakhir oleh Pak Rani dan Pak Ayub.

EMPLOYMENT OF APPRENTICE CARPENTER: Also on the agenda for the Council meeting was a request for Council support
to apply for funding for an apprentice carpenter. Council supported the request based on aligning the organisational structure with
the requirements of the organisation and implementing a succession planning strategy during a period when Australian
Government subsidies are likely to reduce the financial impact on the Shire for a position that is needed. We will commence
applications for funding as soon as possible and, pending the success of our applications, we will be advertising for that exciting
position.
PEKERJAAN APPERANTIS CARPENTER: Juga dalam agenda mitingan Konsel adalah permintaan untuk sokongan Konsel
untuk meminta bantuan untuk tukang kayu apperantis. Konsel menyokong permintaan itu berdasarkan pada struktur organisasi
dengan kehendak organisasi dan menerapkan strategi perencanaan penggantian pada masa ketika subsidi Pemerintah Australia
kemungkinan akan mengurangkan kesan keuangan di Shire untuk kedudukan yang diperlukan. Kami akan memulakan
permohonan pembiayaan secepat mungkin dan, sementara menunggu kejayaan permohonan kami, kami akan mengiklankan
kedudukan menarik itu.

CORPORATE BUSINESS PLAN UPDATE – OCTOBER 2020: At the November meeting Council considered progress we have
made against our Corporate Business Plan (CBP). The CBP is a useful tool for officers and Council in prioritising activity and to
ensure activity aligns with community strategic priorities. This update provided an opportunity for the administration to audit
themselves on their actions in relation to the CBP and for Council to assess progress. The audit is available to the community.

BERITA TERBARU CORPORATE BUSINESS PLAN - OKTOBER 2020: Pada mitingan bulan November, Konsel
mempertimbangkan kemajuan yang telah kami buat terhadap Corporate Business Plan (CBP) kami. CBP berguna untuk pegawai
dan Konsel dalam mengutamakan aktiviti dan memastikan aktiviti sejalan dengan prioriti strategik masyarakat. Kemas kini ini
memberi peluang kepada administrasi untuk mengaudit tindakan mereka berkaitan dengan CBP dan Konsel untuk menilai
kemajuan. Pengauditan itu tersedia untuk masyarakat. Sila periksa di https://shire.cc/en/your-council/council-

CHRISTMAS TREE COCOS STYLE: The Shire is really pleased to partner with the Administrator and to be working with a small
group of resident artists to create a Christmas Tree to acknowledge and celebrate the festive season.
Cat McCartney and Lee Hegarty have designed a tree that will be uniquely Cocos and they need your help in collecting buoys.
The buoys will be transformed into a special Cocos Christmas Tree for residents and visitors to enjoy.
Please drop buoys at the front of Government House (House 26) on West Island and at the front of the Shire office on Home
Island by Monday 23 November.
We are considering the grassed area outside the arrivals door of the airport and would like community thoughts on this location.
POKOK KRISMIS STYLE COCOS: Shire sangat senang bekerjasama dengan Administrator dan bekerjasama dengan
sekumpulan kecil seniman penduduk untuk membuat Pokok Krismas untuk mengenali dan meraikan musim perayaan.
Cat McCartney dan Lee Hegarty telah merancang pokok yang akan menjadi Cocos unik dan mereka memerlukan bantuan anda
dalam mengumpulkan buih. Pelampung akan diubah menjadi Pokok KrismIs Cocos khas untuk dinikmati oleh penduduk dan
pengunjung.
Sila letakkan buih di depan Rumah Government (Rumah 26) di Pulu Panjang dan di depan opis Shire di Kampong selewat-
lewatnya pada hari Senin 23 November.
Kami sedang mempertimbangkan kawasan berumput di luar pintu ketibaan lapangan terbang dan ingin pendapat masyarakat
mengenai lokasi ini.

SANDY POINT: Anyone who has gone down to Sandy Point in the last few days would be impressed by how lovely the area is
looking with the new playground, which is proving popular with the littlies. We also hope people notice that the old wood-fired BBQ
has been rebuilt and has a new stainless-steel plate courtesy of a great partnership
between the Shire and IOGTA.
JUNG GARAM: Sesiapa yang sudah pergi ke Jung Garam dalam beberapa hari
terakhir akan kagum dengan betapa canteknya kawasan itu dengan tempat
                                       permainan baru, yang terbukti popular
                                       dengan anak-anak. Kami juga berharap orang
                                       ramai menyedari bahawa BBQ kayu yang
                                       lama telah dibuat semula dan mempunyai plat
                                       tahan karat yang baru berdasarkan
                                       perkongsian hebat antara Shire dan IOGTA.

COMMUNITY BBQS: In addition to the Sandy Point BBQ, we are fortunate to have a highly skilled bricklayer who has been
working with our team to rebuild the other wood-fired BBQs on West Island, Home Island and Direction Island. Please bear with
us as this work is carried out.

SIGN KESELAMATAN PANTAI: Dalam usaha terbaik kami untuk memastikan keselamatan pengunjung pantai, kami telah
meletakkan beberapa sign yang memberi amaran tentang kemungkinan bahaya di The Rip, The Spot dan The Shack. Bolehkah
kami meminta masyarakat untuk meninggalkan sign di tempatnya dan kasitau Manager Works dan Services Shire, Glen Briggs,
jika sign-sign itu perlu diganti. Sign-sign itu hanya untuk sementara sampai kami mendapat beberapa informasi keselamatan
pantai khas dari syarikat insurans kami pada pertengahan Disember.

LEASE PROPERTY INSPECTIONS: Our Asset and Property Management Coordinator recently completed inspections of
commercial leases on the back of newly established processes for regular inspections of our residential rental properties. One of
the issues that she found as a consistent problem was that lease boundaries are not adhered to. We are considering our best
options to address this issue as it can lead to the community looking untidy and uncared for.
PEMERIKSAAN PROPERTI SEWA: Asset dan Property Management Coordinator kami baru-baru ini menyelesaikan
pemeriksaan sewaan komersial berdasarkan proses yang baru ditetapkan untuk pemeriksaan rutin properti sewa tempat tinggal
kami. Salah satu masalah yang dia temukan sebagai masalah yang konsisten adalah bahawa batas sewa tidak diikut. Kami
sedang mempertimbangkan pilihan terbaik kami untuk mengatasi masalah ini karena boleh menyebabkan masyarakat kelihatan
tidak kemas dan tidak terawat.

COCOS CAMPING: We have set up a new facebook page for people who enjoy camping. Please look for our page (Cocos
Camping) and send a message to join to stay up to date with Shire information about camping.
Council’s newly adopted Camping Policy provides a sound platform for the Shire to better manage camping and aims to:
• facilitate camping as an experience for residents and visitors to Cocos, for people who enjoy natured based experiences and
    are equipped to be self-sufficient, recognising that the Shire’s camp sites have limited facilities;
• balance making camping available to residents and visitors with the Shire’s capacity to provide and maintain core service
    infrastructure (e.g. toilets, shelters, BBQs); and
• recognise the Islands’ capacity to sustain increased numbers, particularly in relation to emergency management and waste
   disposal.
Anyone with an interest in camping is strongly advised to read the new policy at https://shire.cc/images/files/Policies/
Policy_Manual_2020_-_FINAL_V4.pdf and, as the policy is a live document, we invite suggestions on how it can be improved as
we work through the implementation.

A new permit application form will be available within the next few days and will be on this new Cocos Camping Facebook page
and the Shire’s Facebook page. The intent is for people to lodge an application which the Shire will turnaround as quickly as
possible. This Facebook page will also communicate campsite availability every Friday afternoon as of Friday 20 November.

Please contact me with any queries about camping or this new policy and process.
COCOS CAMPING: Kami telah buat facebook baru untuk orang yang suka menginap. Sila cari halaman kami (Cocos Camping)
dan kirim mesej untuk terus mengetahui tentang maklumat Shire mengenai camping.
Polisi menginap yang baru di adopt oleh Komiti Konsel menyediakan platform yang baik untuk Shire menguruskan menginap
dengan lebih baik dan bertujuan untuk:
• memudahkan menginap sebagai pengalaman bagi penduduk dan pengunjung Cocos, bagi orang yang sukak pengalaman
    berdasarkan alam semula jadi dan dilengkapi untuk menjadi mandiri, menyedari bahawa tempat menginap Shire mempunyai
    fasilitas yang terbatas;
• menyemimbangkan penyedian menginap tersedia untuk penduduk dan pengunjung dengan kapasitas Shire untuk
    menyediakan dan menjaga infrastruktur layanan (misalnya, jamban, tempat perlindungan, BBQ); dan
• menyedari kapasitas Kepulauan untuk mempertahankan jumlah yang meningkat, terutama yang berkaitan dengan
    pengurusan kecemasan dan pembuangan sampah.
Sesiapa yang berminat untuk menginap sangat dinasihatkan untuk membaca polisi baru di https://shire.cc/images/files/
Policies/Policy_Manual_2020_-_FINAL_V4.pdf dan, kerana polisi tersebut adalah dokumen langsung, kami mengundang
cadangan bagaimana ia dapat diperbaiki semasa kami melaksanakan pelaksanaannya.

Permit permohonan baru akan tersedia dalam
beberapa hari ke depan dan akan terdapat di
halaman Facebook Cocos Camping baru ini dan
halaman Facebook Shire. Tujuannya adalah agar
orang-orang masokan permohonan yang Shire akan
kasi balek secepat mungkin. Halaman Facebook ini
juga akan memberitahu tempat menginap yagn ada
setiap hari Jumaat petang mulai hari Jumaat 20
November.

Two major projects will be commencing on Home Island in the near future.

1.     Repaving of Jalan Rel: This project will result in improvements to this important road for Home Island. During
       this time detour signs will be in place. Please observe the detours and other signs and for your safety stay well
       clear of the work zone. Access to the Retail Centre will be from Jalan Bunga Mawar for this time.
2.     Retail Centre Refurbishment: Materials to commence this large and exciting job have been ordered and are on
       the next ship. Regretfully, three large trees on the block will need to be removed to make way for the expansion
       of the Retail Centre. This work will commence on Monday 16 November and take three days. At 3pm on
       Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week, timber from the trees will be at the Home Island Green Waste for
       the community to access. Please stay out of the work zone and wait for the timber to be delivered to the Green
       Waste. A massive re-planting program on Home Island is underway to ensure our green cover and overall stock
       of trees is increased.
Dua projek besar akan dimulakan di Kampong dalam masa terdekat.
1.     Membuat semula Jalan Rel: Projek ini akan menghasilkan perbaikan jalan penting ini di Kampong. Semasa ini
       sign detour akan diletak. Perhatikan jalan detour dan sign yang lain dan untuk keselamatan anda tetap jauh dari
       zon kerja. Akses ke Kede Kecik adalah dari Jalan Bunga Mawar untuk masa ini.
2.     Pembaikan Kedeh Kecik: Bekakas untuk memulakan pekerjaan besar dan menarik ini telah diodar dan berada
       di kapal yang akan datang. Sayangnya, tiga pokok besar di kawasan perlu dipotong untuk memberi jalan bagi
       pengembangan Kedeh Kecik. Kerjaan ini akan bermula pada hari Isnin 16 November dan memakan masa tiga
       hari. Pada jam 3 petang pada hari Isnin, Selasa dan Rabu minggu depan, kayu dari pokok akan diletak di tempat
       sampah Green Waste di Kampong untuk diakses oleh
       masyarakat. Harap tetap berada di luar zon kerja dan
       tunggu kayu dihantar di Green Waste. Program
       penanaman semula di Kampong sedang dijalankan untuk
       memastikan stok pokok kami meningkat.

These are just a few items I thought would be of interest to our community. Please contact me to discuss these or any other Shire
matters.

Ini hanyalah beberapa item yang saya fikir akan menarik minat masyarakat kami. Sila hubungi saya untuk membincangkan
perkara ini atau perkara Shire yang lain.

                                                      Your rights when a business goes bust

While many Western Australian businesses have re-opened and returned to ‘business as usual’, there are fears some will not survive the financial impact of
the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

When a business closes its doors, consumers often call Consumer Protection with concerns about money paid for goods or services that are yet to be
received, or unspent gift vouchers or credit notes.

How consumers and creditors are affected when a business goes bust depends on the circumstances of each case.

If the business is a company, it becomes insolvent and can be put into voluntary administration where steps are taken to save it. Should that fail, the next step
is often liquidation where the company’s affairs are wound up in an orderly way and assets distributed to secured creditors.

When it comes to sole traders, the rules are different – because the business is tied to the individual owner’s income, the individual would declare personal
bankruptcy.

If there is money left after paying secured creditors such as employees and loan providers, you as a consumer are an unsecured creditor who may have the
option of either claiming your products or trying to get your money back.

To claim your products, you must have paid in full (or pay the liquidator the balance) and have a receipt or some other proof of purchase.

Should you want a refund and paid by credit card, contact your card provider and request a chargeback as soon as possible because time-limits apply. If you
didn’t use a credit card or are unable to claim the product, you can register with the administrator or liquidator as an unsecured creditor.

With a number of businesses facing financial difficulty during these uncertain times, Consumer Protection advises consumers to reconsider the purchase of
gift-cards.

To find out who the administrator or liquidator is, contact the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) - insolvency notices on ASIC’s website.
You can also find out through newspapers or on the company's website.

For further information, contact Consumer Protection on 1300 30 40 54 or consumer@dmirs.wa.gov.au or see our Insolvency page.

The Australian government, in collaboration with the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety, provides consumer protection services
to the IOTs.

                                                      Hak anda ketika bisnis menjadi hancur

Walaupun banyak bisnis di Australia Barat dibuka kembali dan kembali ke 'perniagaan seperti biasa', ada kebimbangan ada yang tidak akan bertahan
daripada kesan keuangan dari wabak coronavirus COVID-19.

Apabila bisnis menutup pintunya, pengguna sering memanggil Perlindungan Pengguna dengan kebimbangan mengenai uang yang sudah dibayar untuk
barang atau serbis yang belum diterima, atau voucher hadiah atau kredit note yang belum habis.

Bagaimana pengguna dan pemiutang dipengaruhi ketika perniagaan hancur bergantung pada keadaan setiap kes.

Sekiranya perniagaan itu adalah syarikat, ia menjadi tidak larut dan dapat dimasukkan ke dalam pentadbiran sukarela di mana langkah-langkah diambil untuk
menyelamatkannya. Sekiranya gagal, langkah seterusnya adalah pembubaran di mana urusan syarikat diselesaikan secara teratur dan aset diedarkan
kepada pemiutang yang dijamin.

Untuk bisnis sendiri, peraturannya lain - kerana bisnis itu terikat dengan pendapatan sendiri, individu tersebut akan menyatakan kebankrapan peribadi.

Jika ada sisa uang yang tersisa setelah membayar kreditor yang dijamin seperti pekerja dan penyedia pinjaman, anda sebagai pengguna adalah kreditor
tanpa jaminan yang mungkin mempunyai pilihan untuk menuntut produk anda atau cuba mendapatkan wang anda kembali.

Untuk menuntut produk anda, anda mesti membayar sepenuhnya (atau membayar sisa likuidator) dan mempunyai resit atau bukti pembelian lain.

Jika anda mahukan bayaran balik dan dibayar dengan kredit kad, hubungi penyedia kad anda dan minta tolak bayar secepat mungkin kerana batasan waktu
dikenakan/berlaku. Jika anda tidak menggunakan kredit kad atau tidak dapat klaim produk, anda boleh mendaftar dengan Administrator atau likuidator
sebagai kreditor tanpa jaminan.

Dengan sejumlah bisnis yang menghadapi masalah keuangan pada masa-masa yang tidak menentu ini, Perlindungan Pengguna menasihatkan pengguna
untuk mempertimbangkan semula pembelian kad hadiah.

Untuk mengetahui siapa Administrator atau pelikuidasi, hubungi Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) - pemberitahuan kebangkrapan di
laman web ASIC. Anda juga boleh mengetahui melalui surat khabar atau di laman web kompany.

Untuk maklumat lebih lanjut, hubungi Perlindungan Pengguna di 1300 30 40 54 atau consumer@dmirs.wa.gov.au atau lihat halaman Insolvensi kami.

begin planning for the Runway Project, since 2016, and
this planning included two trips to Singapore to work on
the logis cs, shipping and stevedoring.

The Coopera ve has invested heavily in training,
computerisa on, work‐place safety and health to ensure
it meets the highest Mainland standards for projects
such as the Cocos Runway Project.

They might look harmless, but in the wrong hands (and mouths) button batteries can become child killers. In fact, every week in Australia, 20
children go to an emergency department following exposure to button batteries, with one child a month suffering serious injuries.
If swallowed, coin-sized lithium button batteries can lodge in a child’s system and the resulting chemical reaction can cause severe burns to
their oesophagus and other internal organs. Putting button batteries into ears and noses can also lead to significant injuries.
A grieving Queensland couple recently went public with the story of how their three-year-old daughter died earlier this year after the button-
battery she swallowed went undetected for nine days. At first it was thought her vomiting, nose-bleed and chest-pain was a virus, meaning that
when an X-ray was finally performed, it was tragically too late.
It’s important to realise that button batteries can be found anywhere in your home – they power remote controls, kitchen scales, birthday cards,
children’s toys and hearing aids, to name just a few of the places you might find them.
So when buying a toy, household device or novelty item, you should always look for products that are rechargeable or contain other types of
batteries that are less dangerous.
If you do need to buy a button-battery operated product, look for battery compartments that are difficult for children to open, such as those that
require a tool or dual simultaneous movements to open.
Even old or spent button batteries can still pose a threat, so always dispose of them immediately in a safe manner, out of children’s reach.
Remember that it’s an emergency if you think your child has swallowed one – do not let them eat or drink, do not make them vomit and call the
Poisons Information Centre immediately on 13 11 26.
If your child is having any difficulty breathing, call the islands hospital/medical centre and ask for an X-ray.

                                                          Bateri kecik - bahaya besar

Mereka mungkin kelihatan tidak berbahaya, tetapi di tangan (dan mulut) yang salah bateri kancing boleh menjadi pembunuh anak-anak.
Sebenarnya, setiap minggu di Australia, 20 anak-anak pergi ke emergensi setelah pendedahan bateri kancing, dengan satu anak sebulan
mengalami kecederaan serius.
Jika tertelan, bateri kancing lithium berukuran duit syiling boleh masuk ke dalam sistem anak-anak dan reaksi kimia yang dihasilkan boleh
menyebabkan luka bakar yang teruk pada lorong gorokan dan organ dalaman lain. Meletakkan bateri kancing di kuping dan hidung juga boleh
menyebabkan kecederaan yang kentara.
Sepasang suami isteri dari Queensland yang bersedih baru-baru ini mengumumkan kisah tentang bagaimana anak perempuan mereka yang
berusia tiga tahun meninggal dunia awal tahun ini setelah bateri yang ditelannya tidak dikesan selama sembilan hari. Pada mulanya dianggap
muntah-muntah, pendarahan hidung dan sakit dada adalah virus, yang bermaksud bahawa ketika X-ray akhirnya dilakukan, ia sudah
terlambat.
Penting untuk menyedari bahawa bateri kancing boleh didapati di mana sahaja di rumah anda - ia digunakan untuk remote kontrol, timbangan
dapur, kad ulang tahun, kemainan anak-anak dan alat bantu pendengaran, untuk menamakan beberapa tempat yang mungkin anda dapati.
Oleh itu, semasa membeli mainan, alat rumah tangga atau barang baru, anda harus selalu mencari produk yang boleh dicas semula atau
mengandungi jenis bateri lain yang kurang berbahaya.
Sekiranya anda perlu membeli produk yang pakek bateri kancing, cari tempat bateri yang susah untuk dibuka oleh anak-anak, seperti yang
memerlukan bekakas atau gerakan bersaing untuk dibuka.
Walaupun bateri kancing lama masih boleh menimbulkan ancaman, jadi selalu buang dengan segera dengan cara yang selamat, dari anak-
anak.
Ingatlah bahawa ini adalah keadaan emergensi jika anda mengira anak anda menelannya - jangan biarkan mereka makan atau minum,
jangan membuat mereka muntah dan segera hubungi Pusat Maklumat Racun pada 13 11 26.
Sekiranya anak anda mengalami kesusahan bernafas, hubungi hospital/clinic pulu dan mintak X-ray.

                                                      Epic bird on West Island. A Corn Crake was spo ed on
                                                      the back road to Trannies Beach. This Corn crake would
                                                      have flown from Western China and should have made
                                                      its way to Africa. A very secre ve bird that hides in long
                                                      grassy meadows.

                                                Usually you only hear these birds calling from the long
                                               grass. They used to be common from England to Poland
                                               but over the last century their numbers have
plummeted due to farming machinery mowing the grass fields. A few years ago another Corn Crake flew
out of what was long grass around the Doctors house on Home Island. I have so far received 280 “LIKES”
on my Facebook sight from people amazed at this sigh ng on Cocos.
