Cr Ian Bell
Cr/Deputy Mayor
Ray Guscott
It has been an
enlightening
three years
as a first term
councillor
and I am
happy to say
the PAEC is doing a remarkable job
in a financially difficult time. I am
also impressed with the passion and
enthusiasm for our overall council area
shown by my fellow councillors. From
the time I moved to Alberton to now I
am excited to see the changes that are
shaping a different outlook towards
the Port and a very positive attitude
is emerging for it as a place to live.
The ongoing success of our festivals
and a greater highlighting of our arts
community is bringing more people
to the area which over time will bring
more money for business to thrive. I
believe in the next ten years with the
funding from local, State and Federal
governments for infrastructure and
community projects we will see our
area start showing its full potential not
only to the people of Adelaide but the
rest of Australia and an
international market.
I was born and
have lived and
worked within Port
Adelaide for most
of my life. I am,
and always have
been, passionate about the area, its history,
heritage and its people. As someone
heavily involved in numerous sporting
and community groups, and concerned
at a loss of public amenities through
developments, I first decided to stand for
election to Council for the Port Adelaide
ward. Ever since then, the provision and
maintenance of local sporting venues,
playgrounds and community facilities has
been one of my major interests. I am proud
that over the past few years, due to careful,
diligent and efficient modifications to our
operations, overseen by hardworking staff
and elected members alike, our Council
has been able to maintain minimum rate
rises to the relief of you, our ratepayers and
to the envy of our neighbouring councils.
Our Port Adelaide ward is steeped in
history; its bustling wharves of last century
with its associated maritime industries
supported one of the state’s busiest
commercial centres along Commercial
Road and St. Vincent Street. While the
on-water activity can never be regained, I
believe the time is right for the Port C.B.D.
to be revitalized. I desperately want to see
this ward once again become the vibrant
place it once was.
If you have any questions, requests or
concerns relating to Council, please don’t

A snapshot of
Port Adelaide Ward
Port Adelaide Ward includes
the suburbs of Alberton,
Queenstown, Rosewater, Port
Adelaide and Gillman.
Settlement of the area dates from
1837 when the first Harbourmaster
set up residence on the creek.
A port was quickly established,
with facilities for handling and
administering cargo and shipping.
Rosewater is thought to be named
as a corrective, as the location
was a swamp. Alberton is named
after Prince Albert, Consort to
Queen Victoria. Queenstown is
named after Queen Victoria.
