A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
What a start to 2018 we have had around our City of Salisbury.
I am excited with the progression of the Salisbury Community Hub and the decision to move forward in selecting a preferred contractor. This exciting project will be a place for the community to come together to exchange ideas, learn, participate and celebrate in a range of flexible community spaces. Our Citizen of the Year awards on Australia Day celebrated members of our community and I was so proud to be able to recognise their many achievements and the positive impact they have had on our City over many years.
In February we launched an exciting Digital Literacy pilot program in partnership with the State Government and Microsoft, for workers transitioning out of the auto industry. This amazing opportunity complements the great work Council is already doing and the opportunity to be a leader as the first local government to participate in such a partnership. At the end of last year, we launched Discover Salisbury brand to promote our key attractions and areas within the City of Salisbury. The Discover Salisbury website and social media channels is designed to promote our community’s key attractions, themes and precincts while giving our local, interstate and international visitors a chance to ‘Discover Salisbury’.

HISTORY OF THE PADDOCKS The Paddocks is one of the most significant recreation, open space, and wetland areas within Salisbury. Council is currently developing a Masterplan to inform future planning and projects within the area. The Masterplan precinct includes the wetlands, recreation and sport areas, and the adjacent residential area. In the early 1970s, residential development was proposed for the area known as the Para Hills Paddocks. The local community objected, and as a result, 46 hectares were reserved for open space and recreational purposes. Public consultation identified a desire for a wide range of recreational facilities and landscape development, including playing fields, courts, a lake and natural bushland. The City of Salisbury was given the task of designing the area allocated for open space. Following approval of the concept, construction commenced in 1975.
STAGE 1 - Community Consultation to inform the draft Masterplan
COMPLETE
STAGE 2 - Develop the draft Masterplan
CURRENT STAGE
STAGE 3 - Release the draft Masterplan for Community Feedback
Early 2018
STAGE 4 - Present the Masterplan and implementation plan to council for endorsement
Mid 2018
The extensive tree planting program began in 1977, and while this was substantially completed within a few years, additional plantings, particularly understory and wetland species, continue to be carried out. Facilities for active recreation and community use have been progressively provided – change rooms and club rooms for sporting clubs, netball courts, a community house, toilets, playground, bird hide and a lawn bowls complex. The wetlands have been extended several times by constructing banks and weirs. The wetlands now cover an area of six hectares.
Feedback from Phase 2 community consultation will be considered and a final Masterplan presented to council mid-2018 for final endorsement. You can stay up to date with the project through the project web page: www.salisbury.sa.gov.au /ThePaddocksMasterplan
Project Stages Council is currently developing a Masterplan to inform future planning and projects within the area. The Masterplan precinct includes the wetlands, recreation and sport areas, and the adjacent residential area. Phase 1 community consultation was completed in December 2017 which has informed the drafting of the Masterplan. The engagement included drop in sessions, online and postal surveys and meetings with key stakeholders. Almost 400 surveys were completed. The Draft Masterplan is currently being prepared and will be presented to Elected Members in early 2018. Following council’s endorsement of the Draft Masterplan Phase 2 community consultation will begin. This is expected to occur between April and June 2018.

SALISBURY COMMUNITY
Salisbury is vibrant, unique and creative and the
Community Hub will provide an opportunity to bring all of those elements together in one place for our whole community. It will enhance it into an inclusive cultural, entertainment and service precinct.
– Mayor Gillian Aldridge
The transformable event space can host a range of different functions catering for up to 500 people.

COMMUNITY HUB DRIVING CITY REVITALISATION The building of an exciting and innovative new Community Hub is set to go ahead this year with a key milestone achieved in December 2017. Council endorsed staff to work towards selecting a preferred contractor with the Community Hub becoming the social heart of our City. It will be a core element of the revitalisation of the City Centre.
Interactive customer service pod and community meeting space.
The transformation of the Salisbury City Centre into a modern service and entertainment precinct will be spear-headed by the Community Hub to promote further economic activity within the City. The concept of a Community Hub was first announced in the Salisbury City Centre Renewal Strategy 2012 and has been included in the long term financial plan. Council endorsed the major project in December 2017 to select a preferred contractor to then move to progress to construction phase, subject to satisfactory outcomes from the tender process. Mayor Gillian Aldridge said the decision in December was an important one to drive the revitalisation of the City Centre and firmly place Salisbury as a leading-edge innovator.
“The Community Hub will help foster further investment and resurgence of activity in the centre of our City,” Mayor Aldridge said. “We appreciate the community input and interest the Hub has stimulated and it is recognised by many, including Council, that it is essential in underpinning the City Centre revitalisation and ensuring we meet community needs for generations to come.” The City of Salisbury engaged Hassell Studio to create initial designs for the Community Hub. Once a contractor is finalised construction of the $43.8 million project will begin mid-year. It is expected the Community Hub will open at the end of 2019. The major project will create up to 150 new jobs during construction and inject up to $65.5 million into the local economy.
The Community Hub will feature a stateof-the-art information centre and library, community public spaces, training and meeting rooms and an outdoor screen that will showcase events, performances and live television broadcasts; in addition to Council’s civic and administration functions. There will also be a transformable inside event space that can accommodate up to 500 people. This can cater to festivals, formals and performances and can be combined with outdoor event space in the adjacent Civic Square. “This is a tremendous investment by Council in our community and for generations to come, and demonstrates the confidence we have in the future of Salisbury and the Salisbury City Centre as the heart of our city,” Mayor Aldridge said.

PARA HILLS COMMUNITY HUB CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Construction is well under way on the new extension to the existing Para Hills Library. The slab is now laid, the framework of the building erected and all that awaits is lockup and fitout. Internal improvements are also being made to the existing building, including painting and a new IT bench. Preparations are being made to open up the western wall in the library for the reading room extension. The extension will form the Para Hills Community Hub which will host both Positive Ageing Services and the library. The Paddocks Centre, which has serviced the community well for more than 30 years, will also relocate into the new hub. The new extension is designed to service the growing needs of the whole community: local residents, schools and businesses.
The new facility will provide a variety of accessible spaces for hire and will see an increased offering of programs and events for people of all ages such as: • • • •
Adult vocational learning. STEM based robotics and LEGO. Digital literacy. Health, fitness and wellbeing.
The centre will also provide services for: • Residents to connect with others and develop new friendships. • School students and young people to meet, learn, and participate in group and individual activities. • Seniors to access information and be socially connected. • Businesses looking for networking opportunities and additional space to do business. • Families to enjoy activity programs and access the internet. • Anyone who would like to access information regarding local services, walking trails and events in the local area. • Volunteers wanting to become involved in the local community. The large hall which is being built as part of the new extension, will be complete with projector screen and a commercial kitchen. This will provide a great space for local businesses, not for profits and sporting clubs to host events such as AGMs, presentation nights, business breakfasts and conferences. Smaller rooms will also be available for meetings and workshops. Construction is estimated to finish by July 2018.

YOUNG CITIZEN OF THE YEAR Qasem Bahmanzadah
Multiculturalism has positively shaped the society we celebrate on Australia Day. Qasem Bahmanzadah, of Pooraka, has made a significant personal commitment to raising awareness of the challenges faced by refugees and providing support to those working to overcome barriers such as language, cultural differences, and negative stereotypes.
Qasem’s passion and leadership stems from his personal journey. Orphaned at age seven, he came to Australia as a refugee from Afghanistan with no possessions and no English. Qasem has since overcome the language barrier to complete his schooling in Australia and in 2010 he joined the Australian Air Force Cadets, being named Dux of Recruits. He has completed a Bachelor of Aviation and is now a Section Commander. In 2012 Qasem began volunteering for the Australian Refugees Association and quickly became a Youth Ambassador, undertaking public speaking and facilitating events. Through the Rotaract Club, Qasem has fundraised for the Northern Domestic Violence Service, mental health, and the Rotarians Against Slavery program. As a Team Leader with RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) and RYPEN (Rotary Youth Program for Enrichment), Qasem supports empowerment camps which teach youth about teamwork, leadership, self-belief and communication skills. As part of his desire to understand and be involved in Australian culture, Qasem is now learning more about and contributing to Indigenous communities. As part of the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience, Qasem provides guidance to Indigenous high school students across SA.

For over three decades, Paralowie’s Elaine Figallo has epitomised volunteer spirit within the northern suburbs cricket community even steering the development of the Para Districts Cricket Association and the structure of its competition. Elaine served 26 years on the Executive Committee of the Association, including the past eight seasons as President. Throughout this time Elaine was instrumental in the growth of cricket in the region, particularly for juniors and women. Elaine played a key role in the development of the Association’s junior program 30 years ago, which allows children of all ages to play cricket. Throughout this time, Elaine helped her local Paralowie Cricket Club to field seven teams in the Association, which grew from 40 to 60 teams.

Elaine was instrumental in the foundation of the Association’s women’s competition, which is celebrating its 20th season. This has been widely recognised as one of the first community cricket competitions for women in Australia, with other associations only now beginning to establish similar programs. Through Elaine’s leadership as Association President, more programs are now available than ever before for juniors, seniors and women to participate in cricket in the northern suburbs.
SENIOR CITIZEN OF THE YEAR ALUN HUGHES Alun has proudly lived in Salisbury North since 1975. Despite having his hands full working for the RAA and raising 11 children, Alun’s leadership and contributions to the community have been significant. From the time he and his family moved to Salisbury up until 2005, Alun was a leader in the Anglican Boys’ Society, including Branch
Governor at St Barbara’s Anglican Church in Parafield Gardens, District Commissioner for the Northern Federation and State Training Officer. Alun was also a member of the Salisbury High School Governing Council for 26 years. Alun has been a member of local Rotary clubs since 1989. In 2010, Alun held the position of District Governor, with responsibility for about 5O Rotary clubs. He was also chairperson of RYLA, Assistant Governor of Group 4, and Coordinator of the Vocational Service, Ethics and Leadership Pride of Workmanship awards. Most recently, Alun was regional chair of the Rotary Oceanic Medical Aid for Children program, which brings disadvantaged children from nearby Pacific islands to Adelaide for vital reconstructive surgery. He has engaged with employment agencies and other volunteer organisations to help young people find jobs and establish career paths. A Justice of the Peace since 2003, Alun also attends local libraries to witness and certify documents as well as being part of the training team of the Royal Association of Justices of South Australia.
COMMUNITY EVENT OF THE YEAR AUSSIE ERA CAR SHOW (SALISBURY BUSINESS ASSOCIATION INC.) SENIOR CITIZEN OF THE YEAR Alun Hughes
The Salisbury Aussie Era Car Show was intended to be a one-off community event
to celebrate and acknowledge the end of an era: almost 70 years of car manufacturing in Australia. South Australia has faced years of uncertainty following GM Holden’s announcement that it would cease car manufacturing operations in Australia. The brainchild of the Salisbury Business Association, the Car Show was held on the weekend of the Elizabeth plant closure. The goal was to foster positivity and togetherness in the post-Holden era, while acknowledging the achievements of Australian car manufacturers. The event exceeded expectations and attracted 4500 people, including hundreds of motoring enthusiasts who showcased their cars in a ‘show and shine’ of Australian-built vehicles. It was a family day, featuring a barbecue, bouncy castle and face-painting, alongside northern Adelaide’s largest outdoor vehicle showroom. The event showcased Salisbury City Centre to new visitors, generated significant economic stimulus and activated community spaces. It also brought the local business community together; Salisbury Business Association secured the backing of Parabanks Shopping Centre, EP Performance, Rebel Ford, Perfection Automotive Detailing, Peter Page Holden and Signarama Salisbury, as well as many in-kind supporters. Thanks to its overwhelming success, the Aussie Era Car Show will now be an annual event, returning on Sunday 21 October 2018.

INGLE FARM LIBRARY CHESS CLUB A HIT WITH THE KIDS
WE all know playing games is fun, but did you know that playing chess is also great for your mind and health? Chess can help in many facets of learning and development, including logical thinking, calculation, imagination, social skills and friendships. Chess also promotes brain growth, has potential to raise your IQ, increases problem-solving skills and can significantly improve your memory.
I love how the Chess Club brings people, young and old, together. For me, I look forward to Fridays, seeing how much they all enjoy the game.
David Merrifield, the brains behind the club, has been involved since the start and wouldn’t have it any other way. “I love how the Chess Club brings people, young and old, together,” he said. “For me, I look forward to Fridays, seeing how much they all enjoy the game. I also have the flexibility to change it up every now and then ensuring kids remain engaged.” “I can offer group coaching from the demonstration board, or from the TV using the iPad, run impromptu tournaments, offer one on one help, play several players at once in a simultaneous display, and generally encourage learning and fun.” David also runs a Junior Championship and a Club Championship (open to adult members too) to test players’ skills and ability. The Chess Club is held at Ingle Farm Library on Fridays from 3.30pm to 5.00pm (during school term only).
– David Merrifield The Chess Club held at Ingle Farm Library began back in 2004 and has been a success ever since. The club provides a fun and friendly atmosphere aimed at helping children learn and improve their problem solving skills. The club runs during school terms and although originally designed for the younger generation, it includes older players as well. Current participant ages range from five to 82 and the average number of players is 21.

FEATURE STORY
SOUNDS IN THE SQUARE MUSIC TO YOUR EARS AND TO OUR CITY With more than 50 free and ticketed performances scheduled across ten days, the City of Salisbury was a hive of activity and excitement thanks to the Secret Garden, held from 23 February to 4 March.
With a range of shows to choose from including comedy, music, theatre and musicals, the event spread across Ingle Farm, Pooraka, Mawson Lakes and of course the Secret Garden itself in Salisbury City Centre. Among the exciting line up was comedian Joshua Warrior who presented his hilarious show, Aboriginal Gigolo, at Morella Community Centre, vocal quartet The 60 Four wowed audiences at Salisbury Institute, and the Fragments Exhibition was on display at John Harvey Gallery.
“We have been touring through Adelaide for more than 20 years and my recollections of the many, many shows we’ve done there are sort of coalescing in one warm feeling – kind of like hugging your favourite aunty, the one who always looks after you when you’re together and without doubt, the one who knows how to party,” he laughed. But being part of Salisbury Secret Garden was Jebediah’s first visit to South Australia during Fringe time, and Christopher said he was thrilled to be a part of the rapidly growing event. “To be honest I hadn’t had the opportunity to experience Adelaide in Fringe mode before, but I imagined the vibe: the city awash with an all-inclusive atmosphere that appreciates diversity in the arts and freak flags are waved with pride. I like that,” he said. “Being invited to perform at any party is cool and [Salisbury Secret Garden] is no exception.” Salisbury Secret Garden and all the events across its program have filled the community with culture and colour, with many local creatives having an opportunity to share their art.
On the final weekend, kids, parents and friends enjoyed the Family Fun Day at Salisbury Secret Garden. Local bands also rocked the stage to support Aussie legends Jebediah, who played to an enthusiastic crowd for Sounds in the Square.
Salisbury Secret Garden is run by the City of Salisbury every year and supported by Channel 9 Adelaide, Salisbury Business Association, Salisbury City Centre, Music SA and Parafield Airport. Sounds in the Square included a full line up of awesome local bands like Hen, Something To Rescue, Neon Tetra and The New Yorks Band, as well as street performers, food, licensed drinks and entertainment.
Christopher Daymond, founder and lead guitarist of the band, said he loves playing in Adelaide and always enjoys getting back here any chance he can.
Helping to put together that line up was a not-for-profit organisation that supports and grows the careers of SA musicians, Music SA.
16 | AUTUMN 2018 | SALISBURY AWARE | www.salisbury.sa.gov.au
General Manager of Music SA, Lisa Bishop, said it is always a pleasure to put together programs that give local musicians a chance to play to a new audience. “We have close connections and on the ground relationships with many local, original, contemporary bands. We received a briefing from council staff about the type of event and the demographic of the audience,” she said. “They wanted to see original local acts with excellent live performance skills and Music SA is always keen to program both male and female artists on the line-up of any festival.” As well as having musical prowess, Lisa said bands should spend the time and energy getting their tunes and brand out to the world, especially if they want to be part of events like Sounds in the Square. “It was important that the support acts we selected have a strong online presence so if someone in the audience decided that they liked what they heard, they could access the artist’s music online and join their fan base to hear about future gigs,” she said. “The music also had to be easily accessible to families, so that is why we selected pop, rock and electronic pop artists.” Sounds in the Square was a roaring success, showcasing the City of Salisbury as a cultural hub and a place where creativity lives and grows. “Events like Salisbury Secret Garden provide a highly visible opportunity for local original musicians to perform in a very public and much loved space,” Lisa said. “It enables social community interaction based around music and food. It also importantly helps build the fan base of bands that people may not ordinarily see because they typically play late at night in city clubs. We are a UNESCO City of Music and events like Salisbury Secret Garden bring to life that important designation.”

DOGS AND CATS ONLINE A NEW PAWTAL IS COMING Dogs and Cats Online, SA’s new dog registration database, will be implemented for the 2018-19 dog registration renewal period. It will replace 68 individual council registers with a single online database that is accessible 24/7, including via mobile devices. The new database will not only manage and contain all dog registration data, it will also include cat registration (for councils that have it), microchip information, and all breeder information. Dogs and Cats Online will allow pet owners to instantly update their registration or microchip details for free if they move house or change phone numbers, and will help councils and shelters reunite pets and their owners through improved information sharing. The development of the database, along with changes to the Dog and Cat Management Act, will involve some changes for pet owners. Compulsory Microchipping and Desexing From 1 July 2018 all dogs and cats must be microchipped, and all new generations of dogs and cats (born after 1 July 2018) will be required to be desexed. Exemptions apply for working dogs, registered breeders, etc. New Registration Categories To ensure consistency as required by the Dog and Cat Management Board, fees, rebates and concession types need to match approved categories. The Board has advised that the two registration categories are: • Standard Dog: desexed and microchipped dogs, which will have a 50% rebate. • Non-Standard: dogs subject to the full registration fee. All prior rebates will no longer be offered. In recognition of the increased costs for some pet owners as a result of rebate changes, Council has capped the registration fees for 2018-19 at a maximum of $65. To maximise rebates, dog owners are encouraged to desex and microchip their dog to be eligible for the 50% rebate. Rebates will continue for people holding the following concession cards, which can be verified through Dogs and Cats Online: Pensioner Card, Senior Health Card, Health Card, DVA Gold Card, DVA White Card. All assistance dogs accredited and approved by the Dog and Cat Management Board will continue to be eligible for a 100% rebate and no charge will apply.
Breed and Colour Lists As a result of the transition to Dogs and Cats Online, the list of breeds and colours required standardisation. As a result, you may see on your registration renewal that your dog’s breed or the colour has changed; this is due to matching to the standard approved list. For crossbreeds and multi-coloured dogs, it will be necessary to identify primary and secondary breeds and colours. Crossbreed names, such labradoodle, will not be available - these will be registered as primary breed: labrador, secondary breed: poodle. Lifetime Tag and Registration Number Registration fees are paid annually. However, the registration tag and number will be issued for the life of your dog, so you won’t receive a new tag every year. Replacement tags will be available and the Board is considering different designs and materials for more durable tags. For more information about Dogs and Cats Online, please visit our website, along with the Dog and Cat Management Board site: www.dogandcatboard.com.au

BUILDING AUSTRALIA’S
FUTURE-READY WORKFORCE
THE City of Salisbury, together with Microsoft and the State Government, announced its commitment to helping Australians develop the skills required to thrive in the digital age, with the launch of the first local government partnership with a National Skills Program.
The initiative was officially launched on 7 February 2018 at John Harvey Gallery in City of Salisbury Council building. City of Salisbury has partnered on a pilot program with the Department of State Development and Microsoft to provide digital skills to automotive supply chain workers whose roles were displaced by the closure of the Holden manufacturing plant in Elizabeth last year. The pilot was announced at an event attended by the Hon. Jay Weatherill MP, Premier of South Australia, the Hon. Kyam Maher MLC, Mayor Gillian Aldridge and Steven Worrall, Managing Director of Microsoft Australia. “Equipping the nation to succeed in the digital age – and ensuring all Australians benefit from it – must be an urgent national priority if Australia is to remain competitive and maintain its record-breaking 26 years of economic growth,” said Mr Worrall.

We are proud to be the first local government to partner in this type of initiative. This amazing opportunity complements the great work Council is already doing in delivering a wide range of free and local community learning programs that upskill our community and lead them onto valuable pathways to further employment, volunteering and education. – Mayor Gillian Aldridge
EMPOWERING THE COMMUNITY City of Salisbury, the South Australian Government and Microsoft will deliver the first pilot within Microsoft’s National Skills Program to individuals displaced by the recent closure of the local car manufacturing industry. Participants in the pilot will have access to digital skills training and certifications. In addition, they will attend a two day workshop to help them identify a personal business plan and career path and the new skills they need to help them find meaningful employment. The training and certifications will be delivered by Prodigy Learning, a global training partner for Microsoft, who will also design a digital foundations course to meet local worker requirements.
“It’s clear that Australia’s future economic success is dependent on a digital-ready workforce. In collaboration with the government and our partners, we’ve developed the Microsoft National Skills Program with scale in mind, to ensure the impact is widespread across our community, “ Mr Worrall said. “We are keen to learn from and engage with other organisations to help workers across all sectors, and those wanting to enter the workforce, gain new skills for the digital economy.” “We are proud to be the first local government to partner in this type of initiative,” Mayor Aldridge said. “This amazing opportunity complements the great work Council is already doing in delivering a wide range of free and local community learning programs that upskill our community and lead them onto valuable pathways to further employment, volunteering and education.”

SPACE PROGRAM TAKES OFF WITH RECORD NUMBERS Students launched rockets and space balloons as part of the biggest summer space program ever hosted by UniSA. Fifty participants from 15 countries converged on UniSA’s Mawson Lakes campus for the 2018 Southern Hemisphere Space Studies Program (SHSSP) – the largest in the history of the program. The program was an intensive, five week, live-in experience which gave students an opportunity to learn about space applications, policy and services, plus an overview of the principles and concepts involved in space science, systems engineering and technology. The program was packed with workshops, research projects, lectures and free public events, including a panel discussion with South Korea’s first astronaut, Dr Soyeon Yi, who shared her experiences of her time in space. A highlight was the launch of a space balloon from Serafino Wines in McLaren Vale. Students launched a helium balloon with a specially built satellite payload into the stratosphere. SHSSP co-director and UniSA lecturer Dr Ady James said the high-altitude balloon payloads simulated a small satellite mission. “The payload collected visible and infrared images that were transmitted to ground stations with new telecommunications technology called WENET, developed by the Amateur Radio Experimenters Group (AREG) and staff from UniSA,” Dr James said. “The participants then process the imagery from the payload and display the results in near real-time.”

SUPPORTING FUTURE GROWTH FOR DEFENCE THE City of Salisbury has long been recognised as the centre of South Australia’s defence industry. As the high-technology centre of the Australian defence industry, Salisbury is home to a large concentration of defence primes including SAAB Australia, BAE Systems, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Raytheon and General Dynamics Land Systems Australia. It is also home to a number of smaller defence companies such as Daronmont Technology, Daintree Systems, Solinnov and Speedcast, as well as the Edinburgh Defence Base and world-class research institutes and centres at UniSA and the Defence Science and Technology Group. Ensuring that Australia has a strong and capable defence industry is paramount to delivering a modernised defence force. Over the next 20 years, there will be an increased demand for Australian workers with trade, technical, science and technology skills to build and maintain fleets of new ships, submarines, armoured vehicles, infrastructure and facilities, and contribute to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, cyber and other electronic and information based capabilities.
The City of Salisbury is committed to ensuring that South Australia’s defence industry continues to grow and remain in the region, ensuring investment and job creation. As a part of this activity, Council supported Brand SA’s I Choose Industry for SA campaign for February, focused on shipbuilding and defence industries, reinforcing the region’s defence industry capabilities and positioning for future growth in both defence industries and the development of a space industry within Technology Park. The Brand SA activity allowed local businesses to understand the opportunities available to them through the supply chain and how to position themselves for this work. The Federal Government has also supported local businesses, with Lockheed Martin recently announced as the preferred provider to fit combat systems into Australia’s future submarines. This contract is worth $700 million and is expected to deliver 200 jobs. In addition, SAAB Australia and UniSA will work together on a new design for Australia’s warship consoles, reinforcing the strength of their partnership and success of their Defence Technologies Institute. Additionally, the Federal Government has announced more than $900 million towards the ongoing development of the Edinburgh Defence Base, ensuring that the base meets the future needs of the Australian Defence Force. The program of defence work provides an exciting and long term opportunity for businesses and the workforce over the next 20 years. The City of Salisbury is well positioned to support future defence industry growth and companies looking to establish themselves in South Australia.

TALKING TRASH THE fee for hard waste collection now in the bin.
The City of Salisbury offers a hard waste collection service for residents and non profit organisations. Previously, this attracted a $10 fee but from December 2017, Council resolved to remove the charge, effective immediately. Mayor Gillian Aldridge said the removal of the fee would make the service more accessible to the community. “We recognise the value of being able to support our community in this way and are pleased to offer some relief in this service,” Mayor Aldridge said. The hard waste collection service is managed by the Northern Adelaide Waste Management Authority (NAWMA), which currently operates the area’s residential bin service. For those needing a reminder, these items below are suitable for hard waste collection: • Household furniture - chairs, couches, beds, mattresses, carpets (must be rolled up). • Household appliances - refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, dishwashers and small kitchen appliances. • Domestic household items - toys, bikes, old tins, empty clean paint tins (with lids removed), scrap iron, car rims (not tyres) and other waste metals. • Electronics - computers, televisions and power tools.
24 | AUTUMN 2018 | SALISBURY AWARE | www.salisbury.sa.gov.au
All items must be able to be picked up by two people. Items NOT suitable for hard waste collection include: • Green waste. • Domestic mobile bin waste. • Hazardous waste. • Car bodies, car parts or large scrap steel. • Concrete, bricks, rocks or dirt. • Ammunition or explosives. • Gas bottles. • Paint tins containing paint. Effective from 1 July 2018, residents will be able to access an at-call booking service for hard waste home collection. Residents will be able to call to arrange for two hard waste service home collections each year at no cost. The above improvements are part of Council maintaining existing services while increasing funding towards improving the areas that are important to our ratepayers. These include verge maintenance, local flood management and street tree management.
THE next ten years of the Council’s Intercultural Strategic Plan launched.
The City of Salisbury launched the 2017-2027 Intercultural Strategic Plan in December last year. It outlines a clear vision and direction Council will take over the next decade to foster and grow a positive, diverse City in which all people can thrive and flourish. The Salisbury community has a long history of diversity and this is something Council wanted to recognise, plan for and support into the future. At the last Census, it was found that 31 per cent of Salisbury’s population was born overseas, with most migrants coming from the UK, India, Vietnam, Afghanistan and the Philippines. Cultural diversity is one of a number of facets of our community’s diversity.
PLANNING THE WAY FORWARD The Intercultural Strategic Plan provides a direction to enable the City of Salisbury to continue to be a welcoming, cohesive, intercultural community. Mayor Gillian Aldridge said everyone should feel welcomed and cherished in Salisbury, whether their families have lived here for thousands of years or “just a few short weeks”. “This plan takes our commitment and sets the foundations to determine how we will increase our support for and engagement with diverse groups that contribute to our intercultural community,” Mayor Aldridge said.
The Intercultural Strategic Plan will guide Council by: • Delivering programs and services. • Advocating for the delivery of initiatives within the region. • Identifying and developing key partnerships. • Providing a welcoming and supportive environment for settlement. • Recognising and celebrating our cultural diversity.

CITY OF SALISBURY QUEEN’S RELAY BATONBEARERS WITH the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games just around the corner, Brian Menadue, along with other locals, recently took part in a Commonwealth Games tradition by being selected as Batonbearers for the Queen’s Baton Relay. The Queen’s Baton Relay began at Buckingham Palace on 13 March 2017, carrying a message from Queen Elizabeth II. The baton will travel on a 388 day journey through all nations and territories of the Commonwealth, before arriving on the Gold Coast for the Opening Ceremony, where Prince Charles will read the Queen’s message to officially open the Commonwealth Games.
Brian is not unfamiliar with the responsibility that comes with being a Batonbearer, having previously been selected for the honour during the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton Relay. He was also recognised for his work and achievements when he received the Australian Sports Medal in 2000 and the City of Salisbury Living Legend Award in 2012 for his contribution to sport.
Queen’s Baton Relay Batonbearers are local people nominated by their peers for their contribution to their local community and who represent the pride and spirit of the Commonwealth.
Brian is honoured to be nominated and selected to be a Batonbearer for a second time. “I am most looking forward to sharing the experience with family and grandchildren as well as representing the community and the sport of tennis,” said Brian.
I value being involved with sport because each week provides rewards and memories. – Brian Menadue
Brian was nominated primarily for his work in the development and growth of tennis within Salisbury and northern Adelaide. “His efforts have seen the Salisbury Tennis Club junior membership grow recently from 13 to 248 members and he has also established Multicultural and Disability tennis programs at the club,” said his nominator. “Brian continues to volunteer his time serving on seven committees and working tirelessly every week.” Brian has been involved with sport in the Salisbury community for 57 years, including sports such as basketball, soccer, and his main passion, tennis. “I value being involved with sport because each week provides rewards and memories,” said Brian. “Sharing children’s enjoyment of playing sport as well as sharing parents enjoying their children’s involvement is a real highlight.” Brian’s work in sport also extends to events such as the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, the first Tour Down Under held in Adelaide, and the Adelaide International Horse Trials, among others.
26 | AUTUMN 2018 | SALISBURY AWARE | www.salisbury.sa.gov.au
Brian carried the Queen’s Baton along Montefiore Road on Sunday 18 February, the 55th day of the Relay. Other City of Salisbury residents also selected as Batonbearers include Trevor Baker of Salisbury East, Dennis Kittel of Mawson Lakes, Rob Proctor of Gulfview Heights, Peter Smith of Mawson Lakes, Kiara Searle of Salisbury Plain and Patricia Apps of Paralowie. The Queen’s Baton Relay was in South Australia from 18 – 21 February 2018. The 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games will begin on Wednesday 4 April and run until Sunday 15 April. We wish all athletes success in all events.

WHAT IF: EMILY DOAN ACHIEVING HER DREAM CAREER IN HER TEENAGE YEARS
Exploring themes of love, acceptance and friendship in her writing and artwork, Mawson Lakes resident Emily Doan says she wants to help young people love themselves for who they are. “When you grow up, especially around your teenage years, you’re battling against feelings of being left out, self-doubt or difference, and you might not be able to accept that in yourself,” Emily said. “But kids can learn from when they’re in primary school, or younger, that people are going to be different shapes, sizes and types and that doesn’t mean you can’t love them. From learning to love other people, you learn to love yourself. “What If aims to explore acceptance and friendship in a fun and friendly way for children through cute and colourful characters. It’s 32 fully illustrated pages in watercolour and pencil, and in the inside cover, it has a colouring page. So not only is the book interactive, but children can put a part of themselves in it.”
Driven to continue bettering herself in her chosen field, Emily chose to start working young so she could stay ahead of the competition. “My reason for publishing at such a young age was because I wanted to prove to myself that I could achieve my dream career. Illustration is such a competitive field that I had to work hard starting from when I had the most time, which was high school,” she said. Currently studying a Bachelor of Creative Arts in Digital Media at Flinders University, Emily built solid connections and networks in Salisbury thanks to her school and the wider community. “Being an author and illustrator in Mawson Lakes, I’ve been able to meet a lot of people who have helped me. I found connections from my school, Endeavour College, with teachers who had previous experience in publishing, and the marketing manager who connected me with local printers and other people I was able to reach out to,” she said.
“Being from the Salisbury community, I have been able to put my artwork into exhibitions like The Watershed and UniSA competitions ever since junior high school. From doing that nearly every year, I’ve gotten to know contacts like Mayor Aldridge and people from writers festivals, which has allowed me to get my work out into the community.” Emily’s advice to other aspiring young people is to keep at it and never forget the reason you’re doing what you love. “Stick to what you believe in, no matter what people say,” she said. “This field is competitive and people might tell you not to pursue it, but if you work hard, research, learn and put yourself ahead of the game you will make it. Always keep in the forefront of your mind why you love doing what you do.” You can be a part of Emily’s journey by contributing to her Kickstarter fund, and you can learn more about her work by visiting her website: emilydoanillustration.wordpress.com
