Acknowledgement of Country and welcome John welcomed and introduced the Taskforce and provided an acknowledgement of Country. We would like to acknowledge this land that we meet on today is the traditional lands for Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today. John welcomed Tony Braxton‐Smith, Chief Executive, Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure, and Kylie Taylor, Chief Executive, Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing, to their first meeting of the taskforce. Document released by the Department for Environment and Water 3 of 141 under the Freedom of Information Act 1991 2. Adoption of previous minutes review of actions Minutes of the previous meeting were adopted without amendment. Review of actions Action Details Meeting / Responsible Status / Item Due 1 Justin will update terms of reference for the Tourism and Economic 3/4 Justin Complete Development Working Group to reference Joanne Davidson as the Chair 2 Justin will present a copy of the draft opening plan to the taskforce at its 3/5 Justin Complete next meeting for discussion. 3 Justin will work with James to plan for the taskforce to visit reservoirs 1/4 Justin and Complete ‐ and gather SA Water drone footage of reservoirs. James footage provided where available 3. Report: South‐east Queensland site visit Introducing the meeting paper, Justin noted that taskforce support staff travelled to Queensland to learn from two organisations that manage recreation on reservoirs, SEQ Water and SunWater. In addition to the paper, James presented a series of photos that demonstrated the standard of infrastructure and recreational experiences provided on Queensland’s reservoirs. The taskforce noted the overview of the group’s key learnings and recommended that staff maintain a connection with their Queensland colleagues to support and inform the opening of reservoirs in South Australia. Recommendations from meeting paper 3.1 Note this report and key learnings from recreation on reservoirs in Queensland. Noted – noting that staff will maintain a connection with their SEQ Water colleagues to support and inform the opening of reservoirs in South Australia. 4. Communications, engagement and media John noted that with evolution of the project, consideration has been given to the project’s engagement strategy and delivery. SA Water will now lead the communication and engagement component of the project, under the direction of the taskforce. This adjustment recognises SA Water’s existing relationship with stakeholders and provides for engagement continuity after reservoirs are opened. ACTION: SA Water will confirm who will lead communication and engagement to allow for the project governance framework to be updated. Arkellah provided a summary of the Draft Communications, Engagement and Media Plan and Discussion paper on Reservoir Engagement Opportunities tabled with the meeting paper, noting Document released by the Department for Environment and Water 4 of 141 under the Freedom of Information Act 1991 that they were prepared in collaboration with SA Water. The taskforce noted the draft plan and recommended that it be updated to reflect the altered governance arrangements, in addition to: Key DPTI stakeholders and DPTI’s role in roads, transport and marine safety. Key PIRSA stakeholders and PIRSA’s role in fisheries management. Key stakeholders from the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing. ACTION: The draft Communications, Engagement and Media Plan will be updated to reflect altered governance arrangements and relevant stakeholders from all agencies represented on the taskforce. The taskforce gave general consideration to the engagement strategy required to support the opening of reservoirs, including delivery of a paid media campaign. The taskforce approved the commencement of engagement to support the opening of the first reservoir, subject to the appropriate approvals. Roch noted the positive steps that have been taken in preparation for the opening of Myponga and South Para Reservoirs and recommend that stage one of the first reservoir’s opening be brought forward Easter (19 April) 2019. This was approved by the taskforce. ACTION: Commence engagement actions that allow for the opening of Myponga to begin by Easter (19 April) 2019 ensuring appropriate approvals are sought as necessary, with opening of the other South Para and Warren to follow. Recommendations from meeting paper 4.1 Note the draft Communications, Engagement and Media Plan (Attachment 1 to the meeting paper) and a Discussion paper on Reservoir Engagement Opportunities (Attachment 2 to the meeting paper), which will be used to support a conversation with the Minister on Reservoir Engagement. Noted – noting that the plan will be updated to reflect altered governance arrangements

  • Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454
    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454 ADDRESS: Franklin Parade, Encounter Bay, SA 5211 Uncovered well 23 November 2017 Site works complete June 2019 Source DEW Source DEW Cultural Safety Warning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this document may contain images or names of people who have since passed away. STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site is on the lands and waters of the Ramindjeri people of the lower Fleurieu Peninsula, who are a part of the Ngarrindjeri Nation. The site represents a once significant early industry that no longer exists in South Australia. Founded by the South Australian Company in 1837 and continually operating until 1851, it was the longest-running whaling station in the State. It played an important role in the establishment of the whaling industry in South Australia as a prototype for other whaling stations and made a notable contribution to the fledgling colony’s economic development. The Rosetta Head Whaling Station is also an important contact site between European colonists and the Ramindjeri people. To Ramindjeri people, the whale is known as Kondli (a spiritual being), and due to their connection and knowledge, a number of Ramindjeri were employed at the station as labourers and boat crews. Therefore, Rosetta Head is one of the first places in South Australia where European and Aboriginal people worked side by side.

    CEMETERIES TOURS YANKALILLA DISTRICT TOUR 4: Bullaparinga Public Cemetery Old Council Chambers Rd, Bullaparinga The Bullaparinga Public Cemetery was laid out in November 1858, and fenced the following year. An early burial ground is outside the bounds of the cemetery, but the early records have been lost. The earliest recorded burials begin in April 1859. James Chirgwin: A5 The oldest head stone in the cemetery is that of James Chirgwin (only his initials, J.C. are on the stone), who died 18 March, 1861. James was born 14 January 1861, and so was only 2 months old when he died. He was the first child of John and Eliza Chirgwin, neé Comley, who had a total of eleven children. John Chirgwin, a miner, arrived at Port Adelaide 23 March 1848 on the David Malcolm. He settled at Bullaparinga. Henri Benedictus Salman van Raalte was born in England in 1881. He studied art at London and Royal Academy schools. In 1901 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters, Etchers, and Engravers. Due to ill health he emigrated to Western Australia. In 1921 van Raalte accepted the position of Curator of the South Australian Art Gallery, but resigned in 1925 because of a difference of opinion with the Gallery’s Board of Governors. Van Raalte with his wife and three sons came to Second Valley, living at first in one of the Junction North Timber Mill cottages at Second Valley Beach, Henri van Raalte: A16 and then renting a house vacated by the Cant family. Van Raalte set up his studio there.

  • River Health in the Mid North the Map Provides an Overall Assessment of the Health of Individual Sites in the Region
    Mayfly nymph (Koorrnonga inconspicua) Aquatic macroinvertebrates in the Mid North The region is biologically diverse, with over 380 types of aquatic macroinvertebrates having been collected from 1994–1999. The most common members include amphipod crustaceans (e.g. Pseudomoera species and Austrochiltonia australis), blackfly larvae (Simulium ornatipes), oligochaetes (worms), chironomid midge larvae (Chironomus species), molluscs (hydrobiid snails) and nematodes (roundworms). A number of rare and uncommon macroinvertebrates are also found in the region. They include bristle worms (polychaete worms from the family Syllidae) found in the main channel of the Broughton River, as well as from the lower Rocky River and Mary Springs. These worms are normally found in marine and estuarine environments and their widespread presence in the Broughton catchment was unexpected. Other interesting records include horsehair worms (Gordiidae) from Skillogallee Creek, and planorbid snails (Gyraulus species) from the Light River at Mingays Waterhole. There are also three rare blackfly larvae that occur in the region: Austrosimulium furiosum from the Broughton River, Simulium melatum from Mary Springs and Paracnephia species from Belalie Creek. Among the rarer midges in the area are Podonomopsis from Eyre Creek, Apsectrotanypus from the Light River at Kapunda and Harrissius from the Wakefield River. Mayflies such as Offadens sp. 5 and Centroptilum elongatum, from the Broughton River and Mary Springs respectively, were unusual records, as were the presence of several caddisflies (e.g. Apsilochorema gisbum, Taschorema evansi, Orphninotrichia maculata and Lingora aurata) from Skillogallee and Eyre creeks, Mary Springs and the lower Broughton River. Mayfly nymphs (e.g. Koorrnonga inconspicua) have flattened bodies that allow them to cling to rocks in flowing streams.
