TWO WELLS & DISTRICTS
Est 1978
We’ve been… thunder struck
It was the light show of all light shows and keen photographers around the district grabbed their cameras, or used their phones, to capture the moment, with some amazing images flooding social media last month. Cooter Smith took this incredible image from his front doorstep in Eden estate, Two Wells. For more of your storm photos, see page 8.
Excitement as soil turned in Two Wells to launch village green project
GREENING TWO WELLS
AFTER months of planning, Adelaide Plains Council (APC) has begun work on Two Wells’ new village green. The final design was approved in October following a tense ordinary council meeting at which mayor Mark Wasley used his vote to get the plan over the line. Last month safety fences were erected and council began the process of clearing the site
Bec O’Brien reports:
in preparation for work to begin in earnest. APC CEO, James Miller, said tenders for the project are set to be considered by the chamber at a special meeting in early December. The site, which is adjacent to the town’s
public library and incorporates outdated public toilets, will see APC spend more than $800,000 on the project. This substantial overhaul of the area has been primarily funded through the Federal Government’s Drought Communities Program (Round 2), with works to include new public toilets, beautified landscaping and furniture. Once completed, Mr Miller said the village
green would become a significant and vital element of the Two Wells main street. “It’s hard to believe it was only in December last year where I first floated the vision with the chamber and here we are now turning earth ahead of a major transformation for our public realm,” he said.
