I was privileged to support Joy by acting in the Mayoral role when she was unable to do so and continued to keep her briefed on what was occurring in her city. Joy continued to fight for solar thermal power to replace coal fired power generation in Port Augusta and in support gave a forceful and passionate interview to the “Lateline” program from her hospital bed under severe difficulty. Joy was a real fighter for our city and for what was right. Joy unfortunately did not live to attend the Council meeting that approved the Central Oval project. This was a critical project for the future of our community and had Joy’s full support. During the reporting period Joy was pivotal to the establishment of the Upper Spencer Gulf Alliance through then Commonwealth Minister Hon Simon Crean. Joy had known Minister Crean for a number of years and following a number of discussions with the Minister about how the Upper Spencer Gulf Region could be better supported the Alliance involving Commonwealth, State and Local Government was created. This was just another example of how Joy’s lifetime of contacts provided a benefit to our city and region. Joy continued her involvement with the Urban and Regional Strategy to ensure that Aboriginal residents achieve better life outcomes. Joy chaired the Upper Spencer Gulf Common Purpose Group, Provincial Cities Association and the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden Strategic Management Committee. Joy did not just chair meetings but took ownership for all of these committees to ensure that they drove forward to achieve outcomes for our city. I have been fortunate to be Joy’s deputy for a number of years and took great pride in assisting Joy to fulfil her role as Mayor during the reporting period. In respect of Joy we all need to keep working on making Port Augusta an even better place that Joy would be proud of. Phil Greagen Acting Mayor 7 1.2 City Manager’s Report This has been a watershed year for the City. The loss of our dear Mayor Joy Baluch has meant the loss of a great champion and character who created national recognition for our city and the issues it faced. From now on we who have benefited from Joy’s contribution to our city need to repay her commitment by continuing to manage and build the city and its community as a harmonious and prosperous example of what a regional city should be. Joy was a long term crusader for clean air in our city and was a strong promoter of solar thermal power in Port Augusta.

  • South Australian State Budget 2021-22
    South Australian State Budget 2021-22 Overview of Budget finances The State Budget 2021-22 has been brought down amidst a rapidly improving economy. Whereas the 2020-21 State Budget was delivered during the COVID-19 induced recession, this year’s State Budget has coincided with a seasonally adjusted South Australian unemployment rate of 5.8 per cent, state-wide economic growth of 2.25 per cent (despite an estimate of a 0.75 per cent contraction in last year’s budget), and business capital spending increasing over the last 12 months by 21 per cent. The State Budget Papers emphasise the job-creating effects of the State Government’s $4 billion stimulus package, announced last year during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its $107 million contribution to the Local Government Infrastructure Partnerships Program. But while acknowledging the effective role stimulus expenditures have performed in assisting economic recovery through the trough of the COVID-19 economic crisis, the State Government has designed its 2021-22 Budget around measures which seek to boost South Australia’s cost competitiveness in order to attract business investment. These measures include: • The extension of payroll tax exemptions for wages paid to eligible new trainees and apprentices; and • a 50 per cent land tax discount for eligible new build to rent housing projects. In addition, the State Government has announced various measures designed to assist economic development through sectoral grants delivered through a $200 million Jobs and Economic Growth Fund, and a series of targeted infrastructure investments totalling $17.9 billion over the 4-year forward estimates period.

BACKGROUND Over the past 25 years, Port Augusta’s population has been in steady decline, falling from around 15,000 people in 1991, to just under 14,000 people at the last 2016 census. For nearly 60 years Port Augusta powered South Australia, with the Playford and Northern coal-fired power stations providing a significant portion of direct and indirect employment - and a significant part of our local identity. Following privatisation and then closure, local employment in utilities dropped from over 430 people (6.9%) people in 1991, to just 70 (1.3%) in 2016. Closure of the power station followed an already significant economic shock in the 1990’s with the closure of the Commonwealth Railway, which had employed around 16% of the Port Augusta workforce. Our local economy is now dominated by employment in health and community services (14.9%), correctional services and government administration (14.1%), retail (11.6%), accommodation and food services (9.3%) and education (9.3%). As the global and national energy systems move from coal to renewables, Port Augusta – and the Upper Spencer Gulf - is well placed to be a major part of this energy transformation.

  • South Australia's Road Safety Action Plan 2018
    SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S ROAD SAFETY ACTION PLAN 2018 - 2019 2 Towards Zero Together – Road Safety Action Plan 2018-2019 FROM THE MINISTER In South Australia, over the past few decades, road deaths have reduced by 43 percent and serious injuries have reduced by 57 percent. This is despite a 43 percent increase in licensed drivers and riders and a 34 percent increase in the number of registered vehicles. Tragically, road deaths increased from a record low of 86 in 2016 to 101 people killed on South Australian roads in 2017. An unacceptably high increase in motorcycle rider fatalities saw 24 riders unnecessarily killed on our roads in 2017, the highest number seen for this group since 1993. A further 569 people were seriously injured in 2017. While this is the lowest number of serious injuries recorded in South Australia in any year, it remains too high. I believe we can further reduce road deaths and injuries, towards our ultimate goal of zero. To achieve this, all South Australians need to share this goal and responsibility and support the efforts needed to prevent road trauma continuing in our community. Infrastructure safety improvements that reduce crash severity, greater take up of safer vehicles, reducing vehicle speeds and speeding and reforming certain licensing laws offer promising potential to achieve greater reductions in fatalities and serious injuries. A continuing focus on behaviour change is also required as we continue to see many people dying on our roads as a consequence of drink or drug driving, driving tired, unfit, distracted, or not wearing a seatbelt.

  • Port Wakefield Overpass and Highway Duplication
    Fact Sheet • February 2019 Road Port Wakefield Overpass and Highway Duplication The Australian and South Australian Governments announced $90 million joint funding for the construction of a single lane overpass at the intersection of Augusta Highway and the Copper Coast Highway, along with improvements to the Port Wakefield Road running through Port Wakefield. The Australian Government committed $72 million with an $18 million commitment from the State Government of South Australia. The Augusta Highway and Copper Coast Highway, north of Port Wakefield, is one of the state’s busiest regional road junctions being a national and regional link between Adelaide, Port Augusta and the Yorke Peninsula. Port Wakefield Road typically carries 8,600 vehicles per day however this increases to around 14,500 during holiday peak periods. As a result of High Holiday traffic volumes and conflicting traffic movements and lengthy queues have been experienced causing substantial delays. The project will deliver a single lane overpass to help relieve congestion and reduce travel time for vehicles travelling south from the Yorke Peninsula using Copper Coast Highway towards Port Wakefield. The project will also include duplicating the main road to four lanes through the Port Wakefield township, further increasing efficiencies, easing congestion and improving safety along the national freight route. A new roundabout and Balaklava Road connection to provide better access between the two roads, to assist with freight movements to Balaklava via Bowmans, will be considered as part of this project. This will remove the need for the heavy vehicles to/from Balaklava, from the north, to travel along the highway through Port Wakefield.
