INCLUSIVE EVENTS AT
PAE LIBRARIES
Making access easier
Our Libraries offer a range of events and
programs to meet the diverse needs of our
community.
Following the success of Multicultural Storytime
earlier in the year at Greenacres, we ran
new sessions at Enfield, Parks and again at
Greenacres Library in August.
Featuring interactive songs and stories in
Chinese, Hindi and Korean, we welcome people
from all cultures to these sessions.
Each of our libraries is accessible by wheelchair
and Parks Library also has a Changing Places, an
adult changing facility accessible with a MLAK
system key that enables people with a disability
direct access to these facilities.
There is also an accessible public computer
available at Parks and Port Adelaide Library.
For more information, contact your local library.
RECRUITING FOR THE FUTURE
New system makes recruitment easier
It’s the people we hire that enable us to deliver
the most effective programs and services for
our community. Our new recruitment portal
tells you everything you need to know about
working at the City of PAE and makes it easier
to apply for a position. Candidates no longer
need to create a log in, and the new system
also allows applications to be tracked from any
device.

Jetty Road Upgrades
The City of PAE is working with SA Power
Networks to underground power along the
western section of Jetty Road, Largs Bay
between the Esplanade and Military Road.
The undergrounding works by SA Power
Networks is currently underway and is
expected to be completed by December
2019.This is a great opportunity for PAE
to undertake a streetscape upgrade of this
historically significant road.
Our placemaking, engineering and heritage
staff have been working with a group of local
residents to develop a concept plan and
construction will commence in the 2020-2021
financial year.
The concept includes improved road layout,
parking, landscaping, lighting, outdoor dining
opportunities, wider footpaths, renewal of
the road pavement and the creation of both
permanent and temporary public artworks that
reflect the area and highlight the history. We
have been working with SA Power Networks
and local residents during the consultation
period for the undergrounding portion of this
project, and there will be further opportunity
for input on the placemaking aspect of this
project soon.
PLANTING AT PLANO
Making a difference onWhite Ribbon Day
In 2015, PAE became the first council in the
state to achieveWhite Ribbon Accreditation
for our commitment to promoting a culture of
respectful relationships with a zero tolerance of
violence against women.
As a community leader, we believe we have
a role in driving social change and leading by
example when it comes to the support and
protection of women.
Being part of theWhite Ribbon program
has helped us to reflect on and adapt our
organisational culture, policies, procedures and
how we can support those affected by family
violence and provide our employees with
