She is a wild thing after all – a hunter, a killer, a ferocious lover. Our ancestors lived under that same sky, but they surely dreamed different dreams from us. Who knows what they dreamed?

  • South Australian Arts Plan 2019-2024 LGA Submission
    South Australian Arts Plan 2019-2024 LGA Submission April 2019 LGA of SA ECM XXXXX < File Name > Page 0 of 12 Introduction As the closest government to communities, councils deliver hundreds of facilities and services that: drive economic development; protect the environment; bring communities together; support public health; and improve the local amenity enjoyed by all South Australians and visitors alike. Arts and culture is an important part of the work which many councils do, and the role of local government in arts and culture has many benefits for the South Australian community, supporting health and wellbeing, economic, social and cultural development. In this context, the Local Government Association of South Australia (LGA) welcomes the decision of the State Government to develop an Arts Plan, and the opportunity to make a submission. Local government is an experienced partner in government, and the LGA and our member councils look forward to working with the State Government and Arts South Australia to capture that involvement in the South Australian Arts Plan 2019-2024 (‘the Plan’). About the LGA The LGA is the voice of local government in South Australia, representing all 68 individual councils across the state. Our mission is to provide leadership, support, representation and advocacy on behalf of South Australian councils, for the benefit of the community. The value of LGA membership has been independently verified by UHY Haines Norton as being worth around $139 million to the local government sector in 2019. This submission has been informed by consultation with our member councils. Development of an Arts Plan for South Australia The LGA is keen to be involved in the development of the Plan and this submission is provided for consideration of the consultants engaged to prepare the Plan.

  • Highlights 2017
    GIVING HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS THE TRUST 2017 - 2018 PAST OF A FUTURE SOUTH NOW! AUSTRALIA Acknowledgment of traditional owners The History Trust of South Australia respects the primary place of Aboriginal people in the history of this place. We acknowledge that this story commenced long before Governor Hindmarsh proclaimed the new Province of South Australia on 28 December 1836. Aboriginal people have a history that extends millennia into the past. We acknowledge that Aboriginal lands and sovereignty were not recognised and that building a shared understanding of history is critical to reconciliation. We affirm our role in reconciliation as an essential part of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal South Australians co-creating a positive future.

Our job is to encourage current and future generations of South Australians to discover that this state’s past is rich, relevant and fascinating. And among the many stories unfolding across South Australia in the present, there are many worthy of being preserved for sharing in the future. The History Trust of South Australia is exactly what our name implies. We carry the community’s trust to keep safe our state’s stories and memory collections so that they will not be lost. Our Act of Parliament safeguards South Australia’s material cultural heritage, encourages research, and enables the public presentation of South Australian history.
