MAYOR'S MESSAGE
Although I have been serving as Mayor for the
past 11 years, the Mayoress and I continue to
look forward to this time of the year.
It is a time to catch up with friends at many
seasonal events.
It is also time to reflect on the past year, and
what has been achieved by such a wonderful and
united group of Councillors who have a common
goal of delivering the best possible results for our
community.
We are your representatives, and we are here
to support and assist everyone throughout our
community to help make the City of Port Adelaide
Enfield the best place to live, work and play.
I welcome Matt Osborn as our newly elected
Deputy Mayor, and sincerely thank our outgoing
Deputy Mayor Vanessa McCluskey, who filled the
position over the past year.
Our elected members are an active, professional
and passionate group and it has been a pleasure
chairing this year’s meetings, with all the
spirited debate.
Throughout the past year we have worked
closely with Council staff on many large and small
business and community development projects
across the whole area, from east to west.
These includes the urban renewal of Kilburn and
Blair Athol, which is one of the most significant
revitalisation projects undertaken in South
Australia.The Parks Library and Community
Centre and Lightsview Indoor Recreation project
masterplans have also been progressed for what
we believe will become future focal hubs for
community meetings and activity.
We are also fortunate to have strong support
from State and Federal Governments for these
and other projects that will further enhance
our region.
At Port Adelaide Enfield, we are a City that
acknowledges and celebrates diversity.
I am very proud of our commitment to welcoming
new arrivals here with ourWelcoming Cities
initiative and I have attended many multicultural
festivals and events throughout the whole year.
We also recognise our Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people through our ATSI Awards,Walk of
Awareness and the recent TARNANTHI at the
Port event, and our support of the Reconciliation
Walk and Tandanya's Survival Day at Semaphore.
With everyone working well together, from our
Councillors, to Council staff, to individuals and
groups within the community, we become stronger,
more united and connected.
We strive to deliver the best services, facilities
and projects at the lowest rates to a community
where people from all walks of life can feel safe,
secure and satisfied.
I wish you all a happy festive season and a
prosperous new year, and I look forward to
starting the year with the exciting Peloton
at the Port, as part of the Santos Tour
Down Under in January.
So ride on 2018!
Mayor Gary Johanson
