CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICER’S MESSAGE
Welcome to the Spring edition of Pen2Paper.
I am delighted to be writing this message on
behalf of Council for the final Pen2Paper of
this Council term.The 2018 Council Elections
are on the horizon, and Council has moved
into caretaker period.You will be receiving
your ballot papers from 22 October, and
although voting in Council Elections isn’t
compulsory, I encourage you to vote and take
the opportunity to influence what will happen
in your neighbourhood now and into
the future.
As the days are getting longer we’re
approaching a key time for community events
and local celebrations, with a Boatfest, beach
games, arts, sports, films and a lot more in the
City of Port Adelaide Enfield, known locally
as PAE.
One such event is the popular Twilight Parade
that will bring thousands of people to the
Port on Saturday 17 November to watch the
passing parade and join in the after party.
Also we are thrilled to have been selected to
host the Stage One race finish of the 2019
Santos Tour Down Under in January, so we
will be on the world stage once again and
gearing up for a big summer celebration.
We have been recognised for our
commitment to improving our services and
connection to the community with two
recent accolades:Animal Management Officer
of the Year Award and a High Commendation
at the National Awards for Local Government
for the 2018Walk of Awareness.
The construction of the Lights Community
and Sports Centre at Lightsview is running on
schedule, with the roof planned to be in place
by the end of the year, as we move closer to
completing a facility offering a range of sport,
recreation and community activities for our
community to lead an active, healthy lifestyle.
Roy Marten Park on Military Road,Taperoo
is now open and ready, with an adventure
playground, separate parks for large and small
dogs, BBQ and picnic areas and stunning new
art sculptures ‘Tent Line’ that incorporate the
unique history of the area.
Often we undertake projects that are out
of sight, but they are just as vital to our
community, such as the $6 million stormwater
and drainage upgrade now underway which
will address flooding in Kilburn and Blair Athol
and industrial areas around Gepps Cross.
We’ve upgraded our libraries throughout PAE,
and the new jewel in the crown is the Parks
Library that will open in October.This state
of the art building will be a place to explore,
to meet, to enjoy and to learn with its latest
technology, plenty of light, lots of books, a
new toy library and vibrant public artworks.
We look forward to seeing you out and about
discovering what makes PAE so special at this
time of year.
