MAYOR’S MESSAGE
As Mayor, I’ve always tried to be proactive
about keeping issues relating to the City of
Port Adelaide Enfield front and centre on
the public agenda.
In the past, that has sometimes presented a
challenge – but in recent times, rarely does
a week go by without another good news
announcement for our area and I couldn’t
be happier.
I crisscross our region attending events and
meetings and I am regularly approached by
smiling people expressing how happy they
are to see good positive change, high-level
investment, and ‘things on the move’.
The Council has announced its new City
Plan – which is explained in full in this
edition of Pen2Paper. It has given us fresh
focus, and a workable set of priorities to
aim for under the banners of Economy,
Community, Environment, Placemaking
and Leadership.
In the eastern part of our region we had
the recent announcement that the State
Government has gifted the Council a parcel
of land that formed part of the old Ross
Smith Secondary School site, at Lightsview.
This will enable us to build a brand new
Recreation Centre – much-needed for the
local community.
I was proud to make the announcement
with Member for Torrens DanaWortley
– and am so pleased that our strong
relationships with our State Government
counterparts are delivering fantastic
outcomes for the community.
The new facility will cater for a variety
of sports, as well as providing community
space and function rooms.Watch this
space for design concepts!
I know this project will be much-loved by
the local community and how great to give
young and old alike a modern space to
spend time – particularly in the realm
of health and wellbeing.
Across town in the Port – well, things are
certainly on the move! I was thrilled
to stand with Minister Stephen Mullighan
to deliver the news of plans to transform
the Port with more than $280m of
private developments.
Our Council together with other Councils,
including the City of Adelaide, have been
lobbying hard for a light rail network across
much of Adelaide, including down Prospect
Road to Grand Junction Road and to Port
Adelaide, Semaphore and Outer Harbor.
Our residents and workers deserve to
have a fast, environmentally friendly and
quiet transport option. We appreciate the
strong support we have already had from
the State Government and we hope that
the incoming Federal Government will also
commit to this very worthy project.
Mayor Gary Johanson

REPRESENTATION
REVIEW
The Council is undertaking an Elector
Representation Review to determine if
the community would benefit from an
alteration to Council’s current
ward structure.
The review contains a number of steps and
importantly, includes two opportunities for
the public to contribute to the process.
A Representation Options Paper that
examines the advantages and disadvantages
of various options is available to the public
for a period of six weeks consultation.
Public Notices will be advertised in all
Messenger Newspapers in the area and on
Council's Website to inform the community
of the availability of the paper and invite
written submissions.
Further information will be available on
Council’s website in the coming weeks
