New ‘island’ Semaphore
play space now open
The new Semaphore Foreshore Play Space designed
By Aspect Studios is now open to the public.
Come and experience the play items at the new and
improved Semaphore Play Space titled ‘The Island’.
The design of the play space area takes the user onto an
island allowing them to experience the large volcano
net and be challenged climbing the wall of the cove
surrounded by palm trees.
‘The Island’ play space also offers a variety of other
equipment including a flying fox, several swings,
climbing equipment and turf climbing mounds.
There is plenty of shade and seating areas available
within the park making it an ideal location to visit
with the family.
Recycle your old mobile
Over 90% of materials in mobile phones are recyclable
and MobileMuster ensures valuable resources are
recycled and do not end up in landfill. In addition, some
mobile phones contain hazardous materials that can
harm the environment when not disposed of correctly.
Recycling mobile phones ensures hazardous materials are
properly managed, which is why Council provides free
recycling for mobile phone, mobile phone batteries
and accessories recycling at several Council sites
including our libraries and Civic Centre as part of the
MobileMuster program.
In the 2013-14 financial year, these collection points
returned a total of 24kg of mobile phones, batteries and
accessories and we’d like to increase this in the 2014-15
financial year. However, we need your help so please
remember to recycle your old mobile phones, batteries
and accessories in the mobile phone collection tubes at
the centres listed above.
For more information on mobile phone recycling,
or to locate other nearby muster points, please visit

You could save thousands
Ever wanted to learn practical ways of reducing your
club, business or individual energy consumption?
Would you like to save money on your electricity bill?
Re-energising Port Adelaide Enfield Community for a
Sustainable Future Project supported by Council and
the Federal Government is offering a fun, free training
opportunity to encourage businesses, community groups
and families to reduce their energy consumption using
the Eco Mapping Training Toolbox.
Each participant will be supported after the training to
determine the energy savings achieved at their facility or
home, and the individual or group that has made energy
savings will win an award of recognition.
Several training sessions have been conducted since
August this year, and this is what one participant said
about the experience:
The session “Gave us new ideas about how to reduce
energy consumption, how to assess and monitor energy
consumption patterns,….through the energy monitor
devices and LED lights, and the benefits to the individual
and also to the environment”.
“I recommend anyone who’s looking to save some
dollars on power bills should attend this seminar to
get some knowledge about saving our resources as
well as some dollars”.
Small and local business owners are invited to attend a
breakfast session at the Adelaide Business Hub, 6 Todd
Street, Port Adelaide on Tuesday 14 October, with a
second session Tuesday 3 March 2015, or on Thursday
16 October, with a second session Thursday 5
March 2015. Both training sessions run 8.00-9.30am
and include the opportunity to network with other
organisations and a shared breakfast.
Individuals, community groups and club representatives

Care Wesley Port Adelaide, 58 Dale Street, Port Adelaide
