WASTE REDUCTION: ‘IT WAS JUST SO EASY’With the addition of a Mini Muncher kitchen caddy and some simple changes, Sam McArdle’s family creates just one small bag of rubbish each week.

Just 18 months ago and with a newborn child, Sam and her husband Peter started using a Mini Muncher to collect household organic waste, such as food scraps, paper towels and tissues, for their green organics bin.

“It was just so easy, but it has made a huge difference,” said Sam.

The McArdle’s rubbish levels dropped further when they started separating

soft plastics, after being inspired by an episode of The War on Waste.

Soft plastics, such as biscuit wrappers, baby food containers and plastic bags, are regularly dropped off at their local supermarket for recycling.

Cling wrap and plastic bags have been eliminated from the family’s shopping list, choosing to use reusable containers instead.

“I feel guilty if I use plastic bags,” said Sam, who uses cloth produce bags at the supermarket for fruit and vegetables instead of plastic bags.

If you felt the heat last summer, you might be pleased to know that as a council, we’re doing all we can to help reduce the long-term impacts of climate change, including heatwaves.

Heatwaves kill more people than any other natural disaster, including floods, storms or bushfires.

They can cause serious damage to our health, ecosystems, agriculture, businesses and infrastructure.

The City of Tea Tree Gully is a member of Resilient East, a group of eastern-based Adelaide councils working to reduce the impact of climate change.

Resilient East has mapped our City’s hot spots following a flyover, with thermal-sensing cameras in 2018.

This has resulted in development of an online heat mapping tool to help with decisions on urban planning, tree planting, and use of materials and surfaces to minimise heat conduction.

From the maps we can understand how water, local trees and plants

can improve comfort and benefit properties.

Resilient East is also reviewing street tree species.

Climate-modelling forecasts by Resilient East show some concerning projections, including:

• Intensity of heavy rainfall to increase by at least 10% by 2050

• Days over 40 degrees to double by 2050. The frequency and duration

of heatwaves to increase

• Average annual rainfall to decrease by 7% by 2050

• Average temperatures to increase across all seasons by between 1.5 and 2 degrees by 2050

• The number of extreme fire risk days to increase by 200% by 2090.

REDUCING IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Maria, Wendy, Kathy, Linda, Grace and Pauline reminisce about working at Tea Tree Gully Library.

LIBRARY FACELIFT Staff take a walk down memory laneGone are the days when Tea Tree Gully Library stocked cassettes and VHS. Indeed, long-term staff say a lot has changed since the library opened 16 years ago at the current site.

Pauline Milligan, who worked at the Library for 23 years, says it was a much quieter place back in 2003.

“We used to shush customers, and there was definitely no eating or drinking,” she said.

Former library officer Maria Kwasny remembers her shock at seeing the huge site of the new library – converted from a car park.

“I thought we were going to die walking from one end to the other. But it was actually great exercise.”

Learning about the digital world is something former staff member Wendy Bennets misses from her 25 years of working in the library.

“I still think Tea Tree Gully Library is the leader of the pack in Adelaide,” said Wendy.

The first major facelift for Tea Tree Gully Library in 16 years is under way.

And it’s all about offering a better service and experience for customers.

As part of the changes, the latest technology will be introduced to make it quicker to check in items.

Staff will spend less time physically sorting items, so they’ll have more time to spend helping you.

We will soon say a fond farewell to the large central service desk to make way for smaller individual desks and a welcoming spacious entrance.

Requested items will go on new automated holds shelving, and new carpet will be laid.

Visit our website for updates on this project.

YOUR ELECTED MEMBERSMessage from the MayorThousands of children are dropped off and picked up from schools across our City every day during school terms.

As a result, roads near schools become busy and congested, with parking spaces difficult to find – especially when you’re in a hurry.

I encourage parents and carers to be extra vigilant and patient when dropping off children or when simply travelling through school zones.

Children can be vulnerable due to

their size and inability to judge speed and distance.

They can also become distracted and behave unpredictably.

It is the responsibility of adults not to put children, other pedestrians and road users at risk by ignoring parking restrictions and speed limits.

These traffic controls are put in place to create a safer environment for everyone, including children. Saving time should not come at the expense of road safety.

ELECTED MEMBERS’ VIEWS

PEDARECr Brett RankineWhen I was running for Council, I chatted and listened to the concerns of hundreds of residents.

As a result, I have a strong priority list including: preventing our parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities from being sold; ensuring there are safe and appropriate pathways for residents and visitors with mobility issues; and improving local bus stops – some don’t even have seats!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to represent you.

I will work tirelessly to fulfil my promises and I won’t stop fighting for our community.

Cr Bernie KeaneThank you to the residents of Pedare for electing me to represent you for the next four years.

Please be assured that your rights to be involved in planning and initiatives that matter to you will be advocated for on Council.

I look forward to working with my new co-Councillor Brett Rankine and sharing a common aim to help people achieve the best community outcomes.

The budget process is under way and I look forward to giving ratepayers excellent value for money.

BALMORALCr Rob Unger Cr Olivia SavvasThank you to the residents who put their trust in us at last year’s Council election. It was humbling to be given the opportunity to represent you.

We would like to thank former Councillors Stuart Headland and Mary Kasperski for their contributions to the Council. They both decided to step down from their positions and we wish them all the best for the future.

There are a number of exciting projects planned for Balmoral Ward, with several parks set for upgrades, improved footpaths, and ongoing beautification works in Modbury.

Our Council term coincided with the opening of the new dining precinct at Tea Tree Plaza. We’re so glad to see the heart of our City thriving. Work has commenced on the upgrade of Malcolm Reserve in Holden Hill, while work on Dalaston Reserve in Modbury is also under way.

We welcome your suggestions and feedback and are here to help.

DRUMMINORCr Damian Wyld

Thank you to residents for entrusting me with another four years as one of your representatives.

I was also humbled to be elected Deputy Mayor (for a two-year term) by Council.

Council’s annual budget process is now well under way. As always, I’m seeking a fair allocation of spending, keeping Council’s debt down and – most importantly – keeping your rates as low as possible.

Please get in touch if I can help you with any issue.

Cr Lyn PetrieThank you to those who voted for me in the recent Council elections. I am humbled that you have placed your faith in me to represent you in Drumminor.

I have been on a steep learning curve, so that I can faithfully and efficiently represent the interests of all who reside in Tea Tree Gully.

This is only possible because of the expert and friendly Council staff and my fellow Councillors.

Please contact me if you need assistance on Council matters.

HILLCOTTCr Sandy KeaneThank you to Wynn Vale, Modbury Heights and Golden Grove residents for returning me as your Ward Councillor. I look forward to working with my new co-Councillor Alicia Schlueter.

In the next four years Hillcott Ward will experience some exciting improvements with street beautification and recreation enhancements.

It’s great to see the Jubilee Way Reserve upgrade completed, including barbecues, playground and public toilets. Wynn Vale Kindergarten car park has also been resurfaced.

STEVENTONCr Lucas Jones and Cr Jessica LintveltIt’s been a busy few months in Steventon Ward yet again, with community consultations, upgrades to sports clubs, landscaping and street beautification well under way.

We would both like to say a huge thank you to all of the residents of Steventon Ward for putting their faith in us to represent them on Tea Tree Gully Council.

Being elected is a truly humbling experience and we’re both extremely excited to get to work and represent Steventon Ward over the next four years.

We want to see as many footpaths built, and community and sports clubs upgraded as possible.

We also want to ensure that Council remains in a financially stable position and continues to pay down debt. We will be holding street corner meetings around our area throughout the year and look forward to seeing you at one of them.

WATER GULLYCr Robin Coleman Cr Peter FieldCouncil recently passed a follow up motion to improve pedestrian safety along the River Torrens Linear Park. $200,000 is budgeted for path improvements, plus $200,000 will be invested on lights on an unlit section of the path.

We also moved or supported motions asking the state government to:

• Re-open the Holden Hill Local Court

• Invest in further car parking at the Tea Tree Plaza Interchange

• Reconsider the closure of the Service SA Centre at Modbury.

Thank you for re-electing us as we work to improve our City.

We’re entering the 2019–2020 budget period. Please contact us on any issue via the details below.

VOLUNTEERS MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCEWith Volunteer Week coming up from 20 to 26 May this year, we recognise and celebrate the enormous contribution our volunteers make.

Volunteer community bus driver Bruce Edgar is one of a group of volunteers who give up their time to provide a door-to-door bus service for residents with limited transport options.

“I’ve been a volunteer community bus driver for four years, driving between two and three days a week,” said Bruce.

“I like it because I get to help and meet new people every week. We pick passengers up from their homes, help them carry their shopping or anything else they need a hand with. And we

make sure they get back home safely to their door.”

The City of Tea Tree Gully has more than 420 active volunteers.

Roles include helping with children and youth programs, walking dogs, and shelving library items.

Other volunteers enjoy hosting children’s birthday parties at our Road and Cycle Safety Centre, or running craft groups or exercise sessions.

Visit our website to see volunteer opportunities currently available or to register your interest for future vacancies that may arise.

cttg.sa.gov.au/volunteers

Community bus service here to stayTea Tree Gully Council now offers a door-to-door style service for residents through a fleet of community buses.

The changes follow a trial of new community bus routes in 2018, which saw the number of routes increased in a bid to offer the service to more people.

A survey during the trial showed that the average age of community bus passengers was 84, with the majority living in local retirement villages.

These residents use the low-cost community bus service to reach shopping centres and other destinations in the City.

Community bus driver Bruce Edgar with passengers Belle Maynard, Pina Forte and Enid Blackmore.

As a result of the trial, two underutilised community bus routes were cancelled, while others were merged.

Council staff members have assisted the small amount of impacted residents to access other transport options, such as those offered through Council’s Active Ageing program.

The community bus service has been running for the past 20 years using a group of dedicated volunteers.

Visit our website or call 8397 7444 for more information.

Big investment in local health care sectorWork is under way on the $96 million redevelopment of Modbury Hospital on Smart Road, due for completion in 2021.

The redevelopment includes a 20-bed palliative care unit with garden access, eight-bed emergency extended care unit and a 26-bed short-stay general medical unit.

Also among the many improvements is an upgrade to the hospital facade and installation of four new contemporary operating theatres.

In other positive news about the local health sector, Helping Hand is expected to open the doors of its multi-million dollar aged-care home at Golden Grove this month.

This will bring 130 new jobs to our area, while offering respite and permanent care for 110 people.

“As local people age they will have the opportunity to stay connected to their community with the chance to live close to family and friends,” said Helping Hand CEO Chris Stewart.

Two other aged-care providers, ECH and Resthaven, have separately purchased allotments of vacant land on Smart Rd, Modbury – both announcing plans to build aged-care developments in the future.
