YOUR COMMUNITY NEWS • JUNE/JULY 2016 PAGE

The City of Port Adelaide Enfield is proud to be one of the

only Councils in the State to have an Aboriginal Advisory

Panel. The Panel was first established in 1997 and continues

to be a highly respected and valued body.

Over the past six months the Panel has provided

input into issues relating to;

• Blair Athol Reserve and people visiting

from the APY Lands

• Economic Development Plan

• ATSI Scholarships

• Kaurna naming of streets and reserves

• Grannies Group presentation

• ATSI Awards

• City Plan

• Northern Economic Development Plan

• Roy Marten Reserve design

• Justice Reinvestment

• Community Development Grants

• Acknowledgement of Country Statement

Members of the Panel have also been involved

in a range of community events and projects.

Panel members are volunteers with the majority sitting on

the Panel as community representatives. Others represent

local organisations that have a primary focus of working

with Aboriginal people. The current Chairperson is Michael

O’Brien. The level of knowledge, experience and expertise

that the Panel Members provide for Council is invaluable.

Panel meetings are also attended by the Mayor and two

Elected Members who have been nominated by Council

and senior Community Development staff.
