6.2 Subject: Lake Alexandrina Commemorative CeremonyReference No: 1.040.035Officer: CDOOfficers Consulted: DCSBudget Implications: Within existing budget allocations

REPORT

This ceremony has traditionally been held on February 9th each year due to thehistorical significance of the date, which is when Captain Charles Sturt namedLake Alexandrina in honour of Princess Alexandrina. The format has been refinedeach year to a point now where it runs very smoothly and we believe is enjoyedby those who attend.

A significant part of the ceremony is the involvement of young people from theMilang School. February 9th 2002 falls on a Saturday and unfortunately this is notconvenient for their involvement. Following discussions with key people involvedincluding the school and given we cannot hold it on the 9th if we want the schoolsinvolvement, we would like to hold it on Friday the 15th of February 2002. This willallow the school a little more time to prepare their involvement.

Moved Cr Potter, seconded Cr Jarrett that report be received and that for2002, the Lake Alexandrina Commemorative Ceremony be held on Friday15th, retaining the same format as the 2001 ceremony.

14.2 CURRENCY CREEK TOWNSHIP REVIEW

OFFICER: S ROBERTSREF. NO. 7.005.001


Following recent discussions on the future of the Currency Creek township inrespect to the zoning principles a review has commenced. The key question indoing this review was to determine what type of development should be allowed inorder to maintain the rural character of the area. With infrastructure and servicesalready in place within the coastal towns it has always been maintained that anew town should not be created, however the draft South Coast Urban GrowthStrategy did suggest that a village could be created around the existing buildingsettlement in the future.

With this in mind a plan of the township was produced on which was detailed thelocation of existing made roads, existing dwelling sites and land ownershipboundaries. By doing this a clear picture of what we are dealing with could beobtained.

The plan will be available at the meeting so that a few ideas can be discussed.

25.4 Ref : 1.025.023Officer : MPSubject : 150th Anniversary of the Shipping Industry on the

River Murray

Budget Implications : Travel expenses to and from Morgan

In 1999 Council maybe aware that there was some talk of holding a re-enactmentin 2003 to mark the 150th anniversary of the shipping industry on the RiverMurray. The proposal was to have a number of paddle steamers leaving theirhome ports travelling up river to Swan Hill to re-enact the first voyage along theMurray.

Boats from Goolwa to be involved included the William Randell and the Oscar W.These boats would depart from Goolwa on the 25th of August and return on the15th of October.

A number of relevant persons from Councils and Regional Tourism Associationsalong the Murray River met on a number of occasions to commence planninghowever this was postponed due to potential confusion with the upcomingCentenary of Federation ‘Source to Sea’ Celebrations.

It was expected that Council’s along the River would support the event by runningtheir own individual events and provide wood for the passing paddle steamersaffiliated with the event.

Assistance from the Alexandrina Council as this stage is only through moralsupport. It is expected that a representative from the Council attend meetingspossibly at Morgan to keep in touch with other planned celebrations.

This celebration would not conflict with the 2003 South Australian Wooden BoatFestival.

Moved Cr Jarrett seconded Cr Reedman that Council endorse the TourismEvents Officer to attend meetings planned for these celebrations and reportback to Council on progress.
