BONJOUR TO OUR NEW
FRENCH FRIENDS
In November, Mayor of the City of Port Adelaide Enfield, Gary
Johanson and Mayor of Cherbourg-En-Cotentin, Benoit Arrivé,
officially signed a Civic Relationship agreement between the
two shipbuilding cities.
This relationship covers many areas and offers opportunities for
both of our regions in the areas of business, education, youth,
sports, environment, arts and culture, tourism and
governance practices.
It also enables a practice exchange and the exchange of
economic and business contacts between the two regions
including in the areas of maritime activities, energy, innovation
and research.
The relationship will open up trade and economic, as well as
social, arts and cultural opportunities for our mutual benefit.
Here in the state of South Australia, the shipbuilding industry will
see the direct creation of nearly 3,000 jobs.Add to this almost
another 3,000 jobs in the supply chain and we have an industry
based in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield that will be here for
many generations and will create job opportunities both now
and well into the future.
This Civic Relationship will create the links to welcome the
French families who are coming to South Australia as part
of the Future Submarines build program.
WARD BOUNDARY CHANGES
Our City is made up of a number wards, which are each
represented on Council by a set number of Councillors.Your
ward is your local area for voting purposes and is based on
where you live. Some suburbs in our city are divided across
two wards.
During 2016 we undertook a review of the size, structure and
composition of the wards as we are required to do every eight
years.This time around, the review resulted in a couple of minor
ward boundary changes which will come into effect for the 2018
Council election.
The adjustments affect SemaphoreWard, Port AdelaideWard
and Parks Ward.The entire suburb of Glanville will now be
within the Port AdelaideWard and the entire suburb of Ottoway
will be located in the Parks Ward.
Council Elections occur every four years and at the time of the
Election all of the positions are declared vacant.The Principal
Member of Council will be elected as Mayor, and seventeen
Ward Councillors will be elected from our seven wards.
Participating in your council election is one of the most direct
ways that you can make a difference to everyday life in your
local community.
We will communicate further with those who are affected by
the changes to the ward boundaries and more information
about next year’s elections will be featured in future editions of
Pen2Paper and our social media.
