Have you seen this sign on Glen Stuart Road?

Consultation closes on Monday 24 November on changes to the streets around the Magill industrial area. This includes 90 degree parking, increase verges, footpaths and one way streets.

Sitting on the edge of two councils this will impact how we travel around the precinct.

From my personal experience, my mechanic is on Hender Ave and when cars are parked on both sides, it is a one way street anyway.....

Here we go again. Nominations for Mayor of Adelaide Hills Council close on the 20th November.
Whoever runs, remember those in there now had an opportunity to be part of the solution and prevent this....(in my opinion).

Council Elections are an important part of the democratic framework of Australia and provide an opportunity every four years for communities to elect a Council that will represent their best interests.

This is an interesting project to watch. The sound economic growth of the Campbelltown City Council means it can undertake ambitious projects like this for its community.

If you are a Council resident, you will receive a consultation pack in your letterbox to make it easy for you to provide feedback. The pack will contain details about each option, including how you can get involved and participate in the consultation.

A timely reminder with a grass fire in Terengie yesterday. Norton Summit are holding a session on October 19.

FYI - in her own words.

Three Councillors in one week and now the Mayor. This must be a record for Local Government, and one not to be proud of.

Shares in 1414 Degrees more than tripled last week, and the ASX took notice, asking for the company to explain the acceleration.

Spring has definitely landed in our big backyard - Morialta Falls. Hope you can make it in there this weekend to enjoy it.
Part of second falls walk is still closed but there are still ample of opportunities to do alternative trails.

As we know, our communities suffer the most from this toxic culture. We not only lose great leaders in our community who are bullied out, our rates pay for petty BS. This review is much needed and I hope it is able to w**d out those who are thriving in this environment by wasting money which could be spent on footpaths and lighting.

I genuinely applaud Cr Adrian Cheater for his motion to investigate why Adelaide Hills Councillors have such a low attendance rate. I expect my absence prior to resigning will be documented but the reasons why may not.

A thorough and comprehensive review should ask for input from Councillors who resigned - it may help them uncover cultural issues. The Our Watch Toolkit which I introduced to AHC would expect that. Interested to see what comes of this.

For clarification his motion is directed at Elected Members, but when you look at the data the highest rates are all women.

We had a great turn out for the Woodforde Residents Association AGM and planning session last weekend. This year we included a talk from Senior Sergeant Michelle O'Reilly about crime in Woodforde.

What was interesting only 6 incidents over the last 3 mths have been reported. While it may feel like more has happened if it is not reported there is no way SAPOL can compile the data to look at a pattern of behaviour.

Woodforde is not a Neighbourhood Watch area but the WRA will look at ways we can work with the principles of this program more effectively.

Spot these in your letterbox recenlty? Or did you meet one of our association committee members out door knocking?
We really hope Woodforde residents can join us on Sunday as we plan out the year ahead and look at how we can make our beautiful community even more beautiful.
