The District borders the City of Playford in the South, Wakefield Regional Council in the North and the Light Regional Council to the East. The main townships within the District are Two Wells, Mallala and Dublin with coastal settlements at Middle Beach, Thompson Beach and Parham. Within these coastal settlements you will find pristine, sensitive tidal flats famous for its blue crabs and a place to find some interesting and unique vehicles called 'jinkers' that locals use to get there boats out to the deeper water. In land you will find some beautiful natural assets like our Rockies Reserve which is a permanent water source forming part of the Light River and is a great place to visit and enjoy the natural setting. The District also encompasses Lewiston which is one of the major population areas. Within Lewiston you will find the Rural Living (Animal Husbandry Zone) where residents are able to participate in the breeding of animals, with a particular focus on dogs and horses. The District now has approximately 8,500 residents, with major growth predicted in the next 5 to 20 years and in line with the Greater Adelaide 30 year plan. The District is home to some key industries, including the successful D'Vine Ripe tomatoes producer at Two Wells and engineering firm Sharman’s, which provides silos to many of the State's farming enti- ties. The area is also home to a number of agricultural pursuits such as wheat, barley, canola, lucerne and hay production. As a floodplain, the District is dissected by the Light and Gawler Rivers. A look at our logo shows the two rivers in blue amongst the green and yellow reflecting the rural landscape. The District is only a short 50 minute trip from the Adelaide CBD which brings with it enormous poten- tial for growth. This potential has been identified in the State's 30 year Plan for Greater Adelaide with the challenge for the Council and the community to manage this growth in a sustainable manner, whilst protecting the rural character of the District. District Council of Mallala 5 Annual Report 2011-12 The Year in Review The Council continues to strive to improve its overall performance within a challenging environment, which is also rewarding to the community when delivered successfully and sustainably. The chal- lenges are predominately brought about with a predicted high level of growth that brings with it a high level of expectations. In the review and development of its 2011/12 program Council faced a number of competing priori- ties. Through a robust process engaging community members Council approved a budget of $8.8 million in operating expenditure and a capital budget of $4.2million The Council also embarked on a review of its organisational structure that saw its senior manage- ment level streamlined from four (4) managers to two (2) general managers reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. The restructure focused on aligning functions, responsibility and accountability to the Strategic Plan Framework of Community Development, Economic Development, Natural & Built Environment and Governance and Organisation. Further Council also reviewed its decision making framework to align with its Strategic Plan. As part of this process a review of Section 41 committees was completed. This resulted in the streamlining of Section 41 committees to ensure the focus is on delivering the overall Council vision to be— ‘A progressive growing community enjoying a quality lifestyle in a sustainable rural and coastal en- vironment’ Council continues to support existing committees establish themselves as Incorporated organisa- tions to continue delivering the excellent work they do for their respective communities. Council also created four (4) new committees that covered the Strategic Plan Framework. These commit- tees are predominately made up of community members that will bring their expertise and views on how Council can deliver on its Vision, Goals and Objectives. Overall the restructure of the organisation and its new decision making structure will ensure the Council can deliver improved services to its community. During 2011/12 Council also embarked on a number of key projects summarized below: Community Development Completed construction of the Lewiston Playground Continued detailed investigations and discussions on infrastructure requirements associated with the Two Wells Development Actively participated and coordinated youth, volunteer and art programs and events.

Wineries in South Australia's Barossa Valley, in the Hunter River region north of Sydney in New South Wales and in Victoria played a major role in the development of the industry and continue to be important sources of fine wines.

In 2009/10, the Barossa region contributed $85 million {20%) in production value to the state's total wine value.
