KILBURN COMMUNITY CENTRE
STREET ART EXPLOSION
On Sunday 19 February, a colourful and contemporary mural
exploded onto an outside wall of the Kilburn Community
Centre.Artist Jack Fran has transformed a very large bare wall
into a beautiful artwork of four people who have lived in the
area. On the final day of painting, the community was invited
to come and watch and also paint their own self-portraits on
boards which were subsequently adhered to another outside
wall at KCC. Prospect Rotary provided a free sausage sizzle
which made for a fun community day.
This is just one part of the bigger picture…
The space around the Centre is being transformed into a
beautiful place for the community to enjoy.
Other projects include:
• The planting of fruit trees
• Mosaics created by the community on Fridays at the
Centre have been created and will be put on the outside
walls behind the trees soon.
• In front of the trees two awesome seats/benches have been
made.The seats/benches will have herbs planted in them
for the community to enjoy.
• An aerosol art project with youth transforming other
outside parts of the Centre is planned for YouthWeek
in April.
• The final installation of this project will be the launching of
freeWi-Fi and internet access at the Centre in mid-May.
BEACH NETBALL AT SEMAPHORE
Australia’s largest Beach Netball Festival came to Semaphore
for the first time March 17-19. Beach Netball is a modified
and simpler version of the sport and involves women’s, mixed
and kids’ competitions.The event was supported by the Port
Adelaide Netball Association and City of PAE.
Semaphore beach played host to teams from around Australia,
New Zealand and South East Asia.
The event included a Cinema Pop Up, group exercises, a
celebrity match, food truck festival, and music.
City of PAE Mayor Gary Johanson said,“I was delighted, to see
our beautiful Semaphore foreshore firmly in the spotlight when
it played host to Beach Netball.This exciting event reflects
our community’s love for fun outdoor activities, the beach, and
healthy-living. Semaphore has a thriving main street boulevard
lined with popular cafés, retail outlets and restaurants, making
it the perfect place to welcome the crowds."
Beach Netball Event Director Shane Purss said,“Beach Netball
is changing the game, and provides people of all ages and
abilities, male and female, the opportunity to get involved.
What better place to host the event than Semaphore
foreshore, where all the action happens.The enthusiasm
from everyone involved is amazing.” For photos
