The fifth Port Festival coincides with the Port celebrating its 175th anniversary – making 2015 most definitely the Year of the Port.This year’s Festival is brimming with new ideas and new features as we set out to broaden the appeal of Adelaide’s biggest and most successful celebration of community arts and culture.With Port Adelaide undergoing major regeneration, the Festival is a tremendous opportunity for us to build community awareness of what’s happening and all that the entire region has to offer. It’s also our way of supporting a growing and highly valued arts community that adds so much to our sense of belonging and place – and it creates good business for the Port. The last Port Festival in 2013 attracted more than 30,000 people and brought more than $600,000 of business to the Port.
Creating festivals requires a great deal of commitment and hard work and I congratulate the Festival and Council staff who’ve brought it all together again this year.Our 175th birthday is also a reminder that in our earliest days we welcomed refugees from Silesia and other parts of Europe and gave them a safe and stable home. We can do it again. I’m proud that Port Adelaide Enfield Council voted unanimously in support of Premier Weatherill’s offer for South Australia to accept 800 refugees from Syria. We’ve also said that on compassionate grounds we request that the government consider housing some of these refugees into our Council area, due to our residents having proven their willingness to support and engage with refugees. While taking 800 refugees, mostly young families with children, would be too much for any one council to cope with, I’m confident Port Adelaide Enfield would be more than happy to accommodate its share.We see it as a strength to have so many different cultural influences helping to shape our city and we believe this is a most important time for building inter-cultural understanding and promoting social harmony within Australian society.
Your Elected Members meet every month to discuss a range of matters related to community life. Meetings are open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend. Here are just some of the key decisions made at recent meetings.

Meet your Councillors from Parks Ward
Cr John Croci
Cr Croci has lived in the Parks area since 1966, and has seen the area change
dramatically over the years, thanks in part to the large scale Westwood urban renewal project that has occurred throughout Mansfield Park, Ferryden Park, Angle Park and Woodville Gardens. Now retired, Cr Croci is a busy Justice of the Peace and is active with his local Neighbourhood Watch Group. Cr Croci has long been interested in reducing crime and keeping the Parks area clean and tidy. He has played an active part in the greening of the Parks Ward, including his work at the reserve on Gladstone Crescent that is now named in his honour. He enjoys visiting the other unique reserves in the area, including Mikawomma, Tao Dan and the Early Settlers Reserve. Cr Croci has recently contributed to plans for the upgrade of Hanson Reserve. He has four children and five grandchildren.
Cr Wilcock has lived within the Parks Ward his whole life. He is involved
with the local St Vincent De Paul branch, which assists local residents with services including financial counselling and family support. Cr Wilcock appreciates and values the diversity to be found within the Parks Ward, along with the many cultural and community groups that contribute to the wellbeing of the Ward. He notes a trip to the Ward could include a visit to the Portuguese club in Woodville Gardens, the Serbian club in Croydon Park, and an Ethiopian Orthodox church, all located in close proximity and working together in a harmonious way for the benefit of the local community. He says he has enjoyed the wet winter this year and hasn’t let it dampen his enthusiasm for supporting his local soccer club, the Croydon Kings.

175 YEARS AGOReflecting on newspaper stories from our past
Opening of the New PortOn Wednesday last the New Port of Adelaide was opened by his Excellency Governor Gawler, assisted by David McLaren, Esq, Manager of the South Australian Company, in the presence of the largest assembly of colonists ever congregated in South Australia, upwards of 5000 persons being present.Adelaide now possesses landing places and wharfs not merely sufficiently commodious for its present commercial requirements, but capable of extension, at small comparative cost … Ample storage for goods of all descriptions is provided, while a road above a mile in length … connects the wharf with the great road to Adelaide, and completes the communication between the city and its port … The Road to the New Port.A numerous array of ladies and gentlemen on horseback and in private carriages formed in procession along the North Terrace. On the procession arriving at the commencement of the road, the Governor’s flag was hoisted at the new flagstaff, and a royal salute was fired by the Sappers and Miners from the guns placed on the Government Wharf. The salute was repeated by the vessels in the river, who vied with each other who should display the most bunting. On arriving at the Custom House bridge, His Excellency the Governor then addressed the assembly in the following terms: We are all engaged in a great work — the work of transforming what was lately a desert into cultivated fields; but as regards this particular undertaking, the completion of which has brought us together today. … When we remember that we have not yet completed our fourth year of colonial existence, I am bold to say, that never was done so much in so short a time as has been done in South Australia (cheers) … Ladies and Gentlemen, I now declare these landing places to be a part of the New Port, I will, if you please, give this wharf the name of the gentleman under whose management it has been constructed — we will call it “THE MCLAREN WHARF. We will now proceed to land the first bale of goods on it. A box of tea and a small box of spices were then brought up from the hold of the Guiana, and landed on the wharf amidst a thundering round of applause.. Three cheers were also given for the Guiana, the first vessel from which cargo was landed on the wharf. Excerpt from The South Australian Register, 17 October 1840.

Make violets for Remembrance DayThe City of Port Adelaide Enfield is inviting community members to create violets to contribute to displays in the Council area for Remembrance Day on Wednesday 11 November.Violets were the symbol of perpetual remembrance before the poppy became widely recognized.

You can crochet or knit violets, make violets out of felt or crepe paper, or recycle materials, yarn-bomb or grow violets for these displays. For those who want to work from home, there are patterns available at the Council libraries or we can send you a copy.

Local students refugees focus Students from within the Council area have contributed posters towards an exhibition centred on the themes of human rights, cultural diversity, anti-racism, the reception of refugees as they arrive in Australia and the contributions refugees make to our multicultural society. The posters describe cultural diversity and the refugee experience as people escape troubled places and seek a peaceful, safe and welcoming home. The images are powerful, thoughtful, imaginative and highly creative.Curated for South Australia’s Refugee Week, the exhibition was launched at the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery in the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre. A total of 250 entries were received from 33 schools, including Northfield and Klemzig Primary Schools. Runner up in the Primary School Award was Devika Chand of Northfield Primary. A travelling exhibition has been created from 50 of the entries, which gives young people a voice to help define what they think about refugees and their place in Australian society.

Aboriginal artwork opened at Hart’s Mill The public artwork entitled ‘Panpa Panpalya’ (meaning ‘conference’ in the Kaurna language) was installed and completed during April 2015 by Aboriginal artist Paul Herzich and local artist Gerry McMahon, in consultation with Kaurna representatives Uncle Lewis O’Brien and Michael O’Brien.The artwork is a major connection to the Mudlangga to Yertabulti (M2Y) Track, which shares stories by Aboriginal people about Port Adelaide and Lefevre Peninsula, and is also part of the Loop Path interpretive trail. It was officially launched at the river corner of the Hart’s Mill complex by Port Adelaide Enfield Mayor Gary Johanson in August, with a performance by dancers from Kurruru Youth Performing Arts. The artwork, which celebrates the strong Aboriginal connection to the place and area, represents the sophistication of Aboriginal culture and language that has survived for over 60,000 years.
Aboriginal girls paint animal muralOver the past year and a half a group of Aboriginal girls from years 6 and 7 at Ocean View Children’s Centre have met during their lunch break to form an Aboriginal girls’ art painting group, led by art teacher Ms Sandison and Aboriginal Community Education Officer Kym Mitchell, who is an Arrernte person from Central Australia. They have now completed a major work, two animal murals consisting of a wombat and wallaby representing two different children’s rooms, which were requested and commissioned by Ocean View Director Sue Davies. Students who participated include Taylah Campbell, Taylor Newchurch, Aaliyah Dhu, Mystika Hayward, Roshell Williams, Shontelle Dixon, Delacia Pride, Annaike Dare and Kay’a Nnie Swan. The girls represent language groups from all over Australia, including Kaurna, Nurunga, Ngarrindjeri, Andyamanthanha, Miring and Buandig in South Australia; Luritja, Arrernte and Warumungu in the Northern Territory; and Pinjarup and Wajuk from Western Australia . Ms Sandison and Ms Mitchell were extremely proud to launch the girls’ painting group and now have more commissions in the pipeline for Ocean View College and the Port Adelaide Enfield community.

Council’s graffiti team cleans upCouncil’s Graffiti Cleaning Project recently won an award at the South Australian Spatial Excellence Awards in the Spatial Enablement category.This award recognises products or projects in which the application of spatial information, methodology and/or tools has greatly improved the outcomes of a project, process or product.Council responds to reports of graffiti with the assistance of dedicated volunteers, field staff and graffiti removal contractors. This year a project was implemented that streamlined all stages of the graffiti removal request handling process, with many manual procedures replaced by automatic ones.The spatial component of this project integrated Council’s Customer Request System, Corporate Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and mobile mapping on iPads.The benefits of the project included:• time efficiencies,• greater accuracy with graffiti location
identification,• better reporting on all aspects of the
graffiti removal process, and• the ability to analyse graffiti patterns
over time.Council’s volunteers not only respond to reported incidents but seek and destroy any unreported graffiti they discover. These incidents are recorded in the mobile map application using the on-board GPS. Since the project went live in February, 2880 square metres of graffiti has been cleaned by volunteers on their own initiative, and 788 square metres of graffiti reported by the community had been cleaned by the end of July.This award demonstrates how effectively Council staff and volunteers interact to achieve a beneficial outcome for the community.To report graffiti on your property please contact one of our helpful customer service team on 8405 6600 or email [email protected]. To report a graffiti vandalism offence in progress please call police on 131 444.

Care for our carers Carers provide unpaid care and support to family members and friends who have a disability, mental illness, chronic condition or terminal illness, or who are frail. Carers may live with the person they care for or live separately. Analysis of the most recent Census data indicates that the number of people who provided unpaid assistance to a person with a disability, long term illness or old age in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield increased by 1,550 between 2006 and 2011. The total percentage of the population who provided care for another person was 11.2%.Carers provide a great service to our communities, but are often unrecgonised or miss out on opportunities because of their caring role. It’s important for carers to remember to take a break where possible, and to share the load of caring responsibilities. Council’s HACC program can offer support and services to assist carers, including home and social support options. One scenario that can cause particular concern or worry for a carer is when the time comes to consider moving a family member out of their home and into an aged care or disability setting. A new book about one family’s journey through the transition into aged care, “Tough ..Tough Times.. Tough Decisions”, is available from Council’s libraries or at www.agedcarewithease.com

Streamlining development approval process Council’s submission to the Local Government Association on initiatives to improve and streamline the Development Application planning process has been selected for inclusion in the LGA’s Leading Planning Practice Booklet. The booklet will be presented to a wide audience to highlight the role of local government in supporting and enabling quality development. We are dedicated to continually enhancing and improving the way we process Development Applications and are very proud to be acknowledged for the initiatives we have made towards this.Council is very excited to announce that as of January 2015, the City of Port Adelaide Enfield has extended the ability to have Development Applications lodged, processed and approved electronically. This means that we can now assess your application electronically and send you the approved and stamped documents by email. This service has been extended to make the application process easier and more convenient in many ways.Some of the benefits include:• Ability to lodge Development Applications
directly from your home or office computer.• Round-the-clock 24-hour service to lodge
your applications.• A faster, easier and more economical way
to lodge an application with Council – no paperwork, postage or couriers.
• Ensures correct details are lodged in the system, guaranteeing no misplacement of plans and documents when lodged correctly.
Simply visit Council’s website and select the Development tab from the menu to get a step-by-step guide on how to lodge your Development Application electronically. By lodging your DA with Council for both planning and building assessment, we can streamline the process and consider all aspects of the application at the same time, ensuring that plans are consistent in regards to Planning and Building Consent and Development Approval, potentially resulting in a faster turnaround time. If Council requires further information or you wish to forward building documents, there is also a link where you can forward the documents electronically. You’ll never have to print out those truss calculations and engineers’ reports ever again.If you wish to use a private certifier, that’s fine. We have provided a link so your private certifier can lodge the building documents once they have completed their assessment. Council will continue to accept applications in hard copy format, but in such cases three paper copies of all the documents should be submitted.

Rates FAQ’s?Why is the due date different from last year?The Local Government Act 1999 stipulates that the four quarterly rate payments be payable in the months of September, December, March and June. Council determines the day on which each instalment falls due. For 2015-16 Council has set that date as the first day of each quarter. My valuation has increased from last year - why did this happen?Valuations in property increase for a number of reasons:• building or completing a house,• construction of any additions (rooms, carports,
garages etc),• landscaping improvements undertaken, or• general increase in valuations due to increasing
sales values in your area.For residential properties, Council adopts capital valuations provided by the Office of the Valuer-General for rating purposes. For all other properties, capital valuations are determined by Council’s City Valuer.My rates have increased, but the property valuation is the same or has decreased.Council reviews the rate budget annually as part of the Annual Business Plan. The amount of rates raised is determined by the capital valuation and a cents in the dollar rate (based on the rating category applicable, i.e. residential, commercial, vacant land or one of the other categories). Although the property capital valuation may not have changed, an increase in rates could be due to the movement in the cents in the dollar rate.I thought the State Government abolished the River Murray Levy and what is the Natural Resources Management Levy on my rate notice?The River Murray Levy has been abolished. The Natural Resource Management (NRM) Levy, which appears on your Rate Notice, is a State Government tax that is set by the respective NRM Boards across the state. The levy is imposed under the Natural Resources Management Act 2004 and Council is tasked to collect the levy on behalf of the State Government for no gain to Council. The NRM levy is also determined by the capital valuation of your property and a cents in the dollar rate.
