Willunga takes out the ‘Best Dressed Town’ award for Stage 5 Santos Tour Down Under
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR TREES?
Willunga’s Definition: A place of green tree’s. In recent weeks individuals and groups in Willunga have been made aware of plans to remove the paper bark trees from the Willunga High Street and selected gum trees at the Bassett Street housing development property. The unclear notification is leaving residents/community members and environmental groups disappointed and in up-roar. The time has come to hold a public meeting to clarify all the concerns we all have regarding the Willunga trees.
Public Meeting: Featuring the wonderful figurines created by Brian Reader several years ago for an international themed event in Willunga, Willunga was awarded, not for the first time, the prestigious Stage 5 Best Dressed Town Award. Decorations Coordinator, Angela Lisman was keen to showcase a ‘multi-national theme’ for this year’s event. Given the broad spectrum of riders from many and diverse countries it seemed like a natural thing to do. So out from storage came the figurines. International flag bunting was acquired, balloon colours reflected countries’ flags’ primary colours, supplemented by the Caporn-March designed Penny Farthings and displays of the striking Willunga feathers. None of this could have happened of course without the volunteer help provided by WBTA committee, family, friends and traders along High St.
7pm Wednesday March 11 Willunga Football Clubrooms ‘The meeting will be organised by the Willunga Business and Tourism Association. Guest speakers will provide insights into the current controversy over the fate of trees in our town. Like many of the residents in Willunga, the WBTA committee members are seeking clarity on this issue. It is hoped that by the end of the meeting, the issues have been well defined and understood. It will be an opportunity for concerned residents to voice their fears and offer their thoughts. Because this had to be organised at late notice given the degree of urgency, we appreciate the co-operation of the Willunga Football Club. It is typical of the community spirit of this town.
