Three-Michelin-starred Maaemo returns to Sydney with an all-Australian menu
Geraghty is working with a network of local producers including Tinja Farms and Newcastle Greens, as well as native food expert Nathan Lovett from the National Indigenous Culinary Institute to source rare, wild and native ingredients for the menu. Among the produce sourced will be Atherton raspberries, which will replace Norwegian strawberries in a dessert of dried and rehydrated berries with native herbs and edible flowers. 'Dishes will closely resemble those served in Oslo, but will also be completely bespoke, taking on the unique flavours of Australia, cooked up by a couple of Australian chefs at the top of their field, in an iconic Australian setting,' says Geraghty. Originally from Port Stephens, NSW, Boyle first met Geraghty in 2010 while working in the kitchen of Sydney's Bilson's restaurant. Boyle left just a year later to join Maaemo, and today is one of only three Australian chefs leading a three-Michelin-starred kitchen anywhere in the world — alongside Brett Graham from The Ledbury and Matt Abe from Restaurant Gordon Ramsay.

Three Michelin stars, 14 courses and the once-in-a-lifetime chance for a front-row seat
'Alongside the food, there's a renewed focus on delivering a fully immersive and elevated experience, from custom-designed tableware and bespoke art installations to rare and exclusive wine pairings,' Rogan says. The attention-to-detail is ambitious: 25 varieties of vegetables and herbs, including mystique mustard, have been grown-to-order by Dylan Abdoo and his team at Newcastle Greens; Blue Mountains brewery Mountain Culture has custom-brewed a tropical Balmoral Pale Ale with Australian-grown hops and passionfruit; 100 almost-2kg placements have been forced from steel by Matt Mewburn at Eveleigh Works; and Newcastle blacksmith Joey Davey, of Adamas Forge, has crafted knives using native gidgee wood for the duck course. Guests to the Good Food event will receive an additional take-home gift: a biscuit scone with a special to-be-determined preserve and custom Teacraft tea blend of Black assam tea, lemon myrtle, licorice root and orange oil, for a memorable morning-after. Almost 4000 seats have already been snapped up for the six-week residency, commencing July 16, and only 200 lunch spots remain.

'Fear most people are unaware': final push on defence precinct survey
A Newcastle Greens councillor is making a final push for a survey on Newcastle Airport's defence precinct amid the "the concerning military escalation in the Middle East". Greens councillor Charlotte McCabe secured support from fellow councillors for Newcastle council to conduct the survey, which gauges the community's knowledge and opinion of the Astra Aerolab precinct. The precinct is a 76-hectare innovation, defence and aerospace hub owned by Newcastle Airport. The airport is jointly owned by Newcastle and Port Stephens councils. Astra Aerolab will be home to defence contractor BAE Systems and Australia's first missile factory, after the federal government signed an $850 million deal with Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence Australia. Cr McCabe has been a vocal critic of the missile factory, saying she felt "lied to" in finding out it would be built on Newcastle Airport land. Cr McCabe said she felt a lot of residents weren't aware of Newcastle council's involvement with the factory or the defence precinct. She said she wanted to highlight this given the escalating situation in the Middle East, where the United States has bombed Iranian nuclear sites, Iran and Israel have traded missiles and Gaza suffers ongoing devastation. "Astra Aerolab makes community members of Newcastle and Port Stephens into business partners with Australia's defence export ambitions, particularly to US and Israel," she said. "The reality of investing in weapons is now unfolding before our eyes, yet I fear that most people are still unaware of the direct investment their councils have." Newcastle and Port Stephens councils approved the purchase of freehold land in 2018, adjacent to the airport, in order to develop a defence precinct "without consulting with their constituents", Cr McCabe said. "It's important for the community to be fully informed and appropriately consulted," she said. "I've found that most people are unaware that Newcastle council is a part-owner of the airport, let alone the fact that the council intends to profit from weapons manufacturing in order to fund council's services and infrastructure."
