education, awareness, knowledge and skills in
addressing violence against women.
To recogniseWhite Ribbon Day on Friday 22
November this year, we will be planting a claret
ash tree at a public event to be held at Plano
Park, Clearview.
This tree is a meaningful choice, as it symbolises
new beginnings and rebirth. Like all deciduous
trees, the claret ash will lose its leaves in the
cold months but blossoms anew in spring.
The location is also significant, being a high
volume traffic area, that connects the eastern
part of PAE to the entry to the coast.
The tree is currently being cared for at our
depot, and as it matures will bring a splash of its
purple red colour to the site.
CLUBROOMS ON POINT
Upgrades create sporting opportunities for girls
We are working with the Government of South
Australia and local sporting clubs to help the
next generation of football players on Lefevre
Peninsula.The newly refurbished clubroom and
new female changing rooms for Port District
Football Club at Largs Reserve will benefit
local girls who are keen to play footy.These
improvements have resulted in greater equality
and inclusion throughout the club, as well as
improved disabled access to amenities.
It is also expected that more teams will be using
the improved spaces for training, meetings and
events.
This upgraded community facility was designed
and project managed by PAE in consultation
with the Port District Football Club, and funded
by a $120,000 State Government grant.
ON THE ROAD
Inspecting and improving our roads for the future
During September we’ll be undertaking a
condition assessment of our 692km road
network. Occuring every four years, this review
provides data to help our engineers determine
the required budget, treatment type, and year
for works. Monitoring the condition of our
road network ensures this important asset is
maintained in a safe and cost effective manner. .
You may see these vehicles out and about, as
they are clearly identifiable with their numerous
roof top cameras and other road assessment
equipment
They are driven by experienced operators and
traveling at normal traffic speeds with hazard
lighting and other warning devices.
GAME, SET, MATCH!
Online access to local courts
Access to courts at Greenacres Tennis Club
has recently been improved with the help
of a Federal Government grant to create
an innovative online booking platform that
has opened up tennis to more people than
ever before. By using digital technologies
to attract and retain participants,Tennis
Australia’s new online booking system will
not only boost participation and physical
activity, but can deliver strong health, social,
psychological and economic benefits as well.
