  • Funding for Bushfire Impacted Ovals
    Media Release Monday 27 April 2020 A win for the Hills region as funding secured to remediate bushfire impacted ovals The entire Adelaide Hills community will benefit from a $210,250 grant from the AFL Community Relief Fund to repair and rebuild five football ovals across the Council area that were impacted by the Cudlee Creek Bushfires. The grant represents a share of $1.2 million which was awarded to clubs and leagues across South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Dr Jan-Claire Wisdom, Adelaide Hills Council Mayor says these ovals are important assets that bring families and friends together, especially during the football and cricket seasons. “The impact on our ovals demonstrates the widespread and ongoing effect that the Cudlee Creek Bushfires have had and continue to have on our community.” The ovals at Balhannah, Gumeracha, Lobethal, Mount Torrens and Woodside were all compromised during the course of the Cudlee Creek Bushfires. They were utilised by emergency services for critical functions or as last resort refuges, with significant volumes of traffic having an impact on their condition. “Each of the ovals experienced some level of damage. Following assessments after the Cudlee Creek Bushfires, the Council worked with each of the clubs to determine what was required to repair the grounds and offer safe conditions for all users.” The remediation works will be carried out over the next 12 months and will ensure that playing surfaces are ready when the football season resumes, following the current COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The funding will also significantly contribute to the cost of pitch covers for each of the ovals.

  • Western Mount Lofty Ranges PWRA Surface Water Status Report 2014
    Western Mount Lofty Ranges PWRA Surface water status report 2014 2014 Summary The Western Mount Lofty Ranges Prescribed Water Resources Area (PWRA) has been assigned a green status for 2014: No adverse trends, indicating a stable or improving situation This hydrological status for 2014, which is based at a whole prescribed area scale (and does not consider local scale impacts), is supported by: above average rainfall at 7 of 7 rainfall analysis sites above average streamflow at 7 of 8 streamflow analysis sites steady salinity at 4 salinity analysis sites high water use compared to resource capacity considered over the entire PWRA and not at a local scale (very high use in 2012-13). This annual status report provides a snapshot of the surface water resources in the Western Mount Lofty Ranges (WMLR) PWRA for the financial year 2013–14. Surface water status reports are limited to reporting on the hydrological status of the PWRA on an annual basis and at a whole prescribed area scale. Available data on climate, streamflow, salinity and water use is summarised and compared with recent and long-term data to provide an indication of the hydrological status of its water resources. Each element is discussed with reference to recent or more long-term trends where, if at all, they are present in the data. These status reports seek to support informed policy-development and management decisions by resource managers and those responsible for, or reliant on, the water resources. Status of the prescribed resource for the previous years is shown below. This status report does not seek to evaluate the sustainable limits of the resource, nor does it make any recommendations on management or monitoring of the resource.
