Mayor’s
foreword
The Council elections in November 2010 brought
new faces and new talent to Port Adelaide Enfield
Council, which through the year has settled down
to collectively and constructively meet the many
challenges facing local government.
These remain considerable. We had the threat to
the continued existence of The Parks Community
Centre, for example, which still has not been
fully resolved.
We have continued to lobby the State Government
for the retention of ovals at the six schools due to
close under its Super School program, and we
continue to push for the extension of the light rail
system to Port Adelaide and beyond, because that
will help underpin new residential development
and new jobs in the region.
As a Council we continue to look for ways to
kick-start Port Adelaide now that development
has slowed in the wake of the global financial
crisis. This is an important issue for the whole city,
both economically and socially.
At the same time we have seen more urban
regeneration projects across the city, major
transport infrastructure initiatives and new
job opportunities that will help all of Port
Adelaide Enfield to prosper.
We can’t afford to sit back and wait for State or
Federal initiatives or money. These are challenges
that, as a city, we have to confront and overcome.
