Light Regional Council

A Short History

The District Council of Kapunda and Light was formed on 1 March, 1996 through the amalgamation of the former District Council of Kapunda and District Council of Light. Since that time, Council has developed a ten year strategic plan that acknowledges its accountability to ratepayers for the development of community values and safeguards ratepayers funds.

The Council aims to achieve these objectives through the adoption and monitoring of corporate strategies, plans, policies and performance; the annual review of senior management performance, conduct and reward; the monitoring of major risks to the Council and by ensuring Council has policies and procedures to satisfy its legal compliance and ethical responsibilities. The Council underwent a name change on July 1, 2000 and since that time it has been known as LIGHT REGIONAL COUNCIL.

In 1846, one year before land for the present township was released, The Greenock Creek Mining Company proceeded to mine an area 5 kilometers south of where Greenock was to be established, however, mining creased after a period of one year and it was four years The township of Greenock was initially before subdividing of the town’s locality took established from a subdivision of a parcel of place. land that belonged to the Bevan family, the original owners of the township land.

The first portion of land was subsequently sold to Mr James Jackman of Gawler in September 1850 and was developed as the “Greenock Arms Hotel”.

The hotel became a significant relay station for district mail coaches and teamsters hauling primary produce from the Barossa Valley and copper from the Kapunda Mines.

Harkness Heights was the first estate to be established in Hewett and is named after Laurie Harkness; a local resident who played a key role in the development of the spectacular hybrid bottlebrush that bears his name.

The development of McKinlay Estate commenced in April 2001. The estate was named after “Big” John McKinlay who was born in Scotland in 1819 and who at 17 years of age migrated to Australia. He became a well established pastoralist in NSW and Victoria and made several excursions between the Darling River, NSW and Lake Frome in SA.

In 1861, he organised an expedition to search for and rescue Burke and Wills. Leaving Adelaide on 16 August 1861, he soon learned that he was too late to save anyone from the ill-fated expedition, so he headed toward the Gulf of Carpentaria. Unable to reach the Gulf due to the difficult terrain, he continued to the North Queensland coast and returned to Adelaide by sea. In 1865 he was commissioned to explore the Northern Territory on behalf of the Government and report on the best sites for settlement. Exploring westward through the Territory he reported Anson Bay as most suitable.

McKinlay returned to SA in September 1866 and became a pastoralist near Gawler where he stayed until his death on 31 December 1872.

Information Sheet NO. D01

DOG REGISTRATION

All dogs aged three months or over must be registered. Registering your dog provides council with a description of your dog, identifies you as the owner and lists contact information. If your dog is wearing its collar and registration disc and becomes lost or goes wandering, it can be quickly re-united with you. The registered owner must be a person aged 16 years or over.

All dogs within South Australia are now registered in a central online database called Dogs and Cats Online (DACO). The system allows pet owners to self-manage their details; owners can instantly update registration or microchip details if they move house or change phone numbers, and pay their annual dog registration fee. It will also allow pet owners to register a new dog without the need of visiting a Council office.

New owners have 14 days to register their dog once they take ownership or become responsible for the dog. An expiation may be incurred if the dog remains unregistered after the 14 day period.

All money received from dog registrations must be spent on the administration and enforcement of the Dog and Cat Management Act.

Effective 1 July 2018 it is compulsory for all dogs and cats to be microchipped and all dogs and cats born after 1 July 2018 must be desexed. There are certain exemptions for workings dogs and registered breeders.

To register a dog with Council you will need to:

Visit DACO at www.dogsandcatsonline.com.au, you can register a new dog or update your dog’s details if you have moved from another Council area within South Australia. Payment for registrations can be made online in DACO by credit card or BPay, alternatively you can visit one of Councils offices or libraries if you wish to pay by cash or cheque and a Customer Service Officer can assist you.

Please see overleaf for a list of registration fees.

Contact Council by phone if you require further advice or assistance.

When do I have to renew my dog registration? Dog registrations are due from 1 July and must be renewed by 31 August each year. Owners of dogs who have not renewed the registration by 31 August each year will incur a $20.00 late payment fee in addition to the renewal fee applicable, and may receive an expiation for having an unregistered dog.

Information Sheet NO. D01 Registration Fees from 1 July 2020:

A Non-Standard dog registration fee is $75. This fee is set by Council and may change from year to year.

Dog owners who hold a concession card will receive a 50% rebate on the fee otherwise payable. A current concession card must be produced at the time of claiming this rebate.

Dog owners are also be eligible for a 50%rebate if the dog has been desexed, and microchipped.

If a person has a desexed dog they will receive a 40% rebate off the maximum fee. Owners register- ing a desexed dog for the first time must produce a certificate of desexing issued by a veterinary surgeon to receive the rebate.

Dog owners who microchip their dogs will also be given a 10% rebate off the maximum fee. To be eligible for this rebate, a micro-chipping certificate must be presented at the time of registering the dog.

Thank you for being a responsible dog owner.
