Cherry Gerente Ogar was flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with life-threatening head injuries, allegedly inflicted by her husband Antony Ogar, on Monday, July 26. She passed away last Wednesday, July 28. Mr Ogar, 58, was charged with murder — relating to injuries occurring between July 24 and 27 — last Thursday, July 29. He was remanded in custody and will appear in court in February. At his initial court hearing, Mr Ogar claimed Ms Gerente Ogar fell backwards and hit her head on the floor after she attacked him whilst drunk. Port Pirie Crime Investigation Branch detec- tives are investigating the circumstances sur- rounding Ms Gerente Ogar’s death. Family and friends have taken to social media to pay tribute to Ms Gerente Ogar, including her daughter Angela. “How can I wake up in the morning if I can’t take a glimpse of your beautiful smile?” she wrote. >> MORE PAGE 5 MUCH LOVED...

Brown Figure 6.1: Saltmarsh with samphire, in NY NRM Region. (A) Point Davenport; (B) Winninowie Conservation Park. Photos (c) A. Brown. (B): (c) Google Earth. Asset Saltmarsh and Samphire Description Areas of saline, mineral-rich, organic-rich, and low oxygen coastal soils within and above high tide level, often fronted by mangroves, and backed by saltbush shrubland. Saltmarsh supports various salt-tolerant plants, with samphires being the most common and significant in terms of cover in South Australia. There are distinct assemblages of salt-tolerant invertebrates associated with saltmarsh habitats. Saltmarshes provide habitat for fishes, including juveniles of species which utilise other marine habitats, and are an important feeding area for various bird species, including migratory shore birds. Examples of Birds Main Species Cormorant species (e.g.; Pied, Little Pied, and Black-faced) Caspian Tern and Little Tern Pied Oystercatcher and Sooty Oystercatcher Black-winged Stilt, Banded Stilt, Great Egret, White-faced Heron, Little Egret the threatened species Hooded Plover Little Stint Red-capped Plover Slender-billed Thornbill (Samphire Thornbill) Rock Parrot The raptors Eastern Osprey and White-bellied Sea Eagle Migratory shorebirds listed under international treaties, such as Bar-tailed Godwit, Curlew Sandpiper and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Red-necked Stint, Grey Plover , Red Knot, Common Greenshank, Ruddy Turnstones Bony Fishes juvenile Yelloweye Mullet juvenile Greenback Flounder juvenile Southern Blue-spotted Flathead Western Striped Grunter Congolli Glass Goby Small-mouthed Hardyhead Silver Fish Smooth Toadfish Goby species such as Blue-spotted Goby and Southern Longfin Goby Adelaide Weedfish Baker, J.

  • Management Report to Council Agenda Item 6.2
    Page 1 of 4 Management report to Council Agenda item 6.2 Funding Proposal – Collingwood Football Club Council Presenter: Linda Weatherson, Director City Communities 28 June 2016 Purpose and background 1. The Collingwood Football Club (CFC) has recently completed a $75 million development of the facilities at the Glasshouse and the Olympic Park Oval primarily for community usage and access. The purpose of this report is to seek approval to enter into a ten year funding agreement with the CFC to access these community facilities. CFC is proposing that Council invest $3 million over the 10 year period (ie. $300,000 per year). 2. In 2012 Council engaged a consultant to undertake a sports facility provision analysis to 2031 and beyond. Using the planning tool of Provision Ratios, an assessment was made of the adequacy of the number of sporting facilities within the municipality together with a prediction of the number of sporting facilities that might be required following projected population growth. In relation to the current provision of Australian Rules football ovals within the municipality, it was predicted that in 2031 there will be an overall shortfall of 10 ovals. A number of strategies are being implemented to address this shortfall, including higher curation levels and installation of synthetic surfaces where appropriate. This proposed agreement is an additional strategy to assist with that predicted shortfall. Key issues 3. The opportunity to support the increasing demand of access to community facilities, in particular sports grounds, is the key objective of this proposal. Council will manage the allocation and use of the oval by the community seasonal sporting clubs located within the municipality.

I visit your central Minlaton office on a regular basis primarily to read the cemetery plans, find information about the current cemetery lease holders and available columbariunn and grave niches. It is a lot easier to look at a real plan rather than an emailed potion of a plan where you have to second guess exactly where the location is within a cemetery.

  • SYP-Water-Tower-Mural-Trail-Artist
    Expression of Interest Public Art Project: Yorke Peninsula Council Overview Yorke Peninsula Council is seeking Expressions of Interest, from professional artists or teams of artists, for mural installations within the Yorke Peninsula Council region at Coobowie, Stansbury, Edithburgh and Yorketown. The aim of the project is to increase visitation from the intrastate market into our regional communities, create inspiring public art supporting community identity and to increase the cultural vibrancy of the Yorke Peninsula. The proposed timeframe would see the mural project completed by end of March 2021. Any eligible artist, organisation, design team or collaborative artist collectives are encouraged to apply by submitting a proposal with concept designs for the site/s. The details for this process and site specifics are outlined below in the brief. Background ‘Prosperous, diverse and uniquely spectacular – Yorke Peninsula’ The Yorke Peninsula Council covers an area of 5,900 square kilometres, has a distance of approximately 175 kilometres between the northern and southern boundaries, and has a varying width east to west averaging approximately 30 kilometres. The Council is unique, in comparison to other Local Government Authorities, in that it is bordered by sea on three sides, as thus has 485 kilometres of coastline. The Council area contains 12 larger towns, 33 smaller townships and holiday settlement zones – the latter being predominately located along the vast coastline. Yorke Peninsula is the traditional home of the Narungga (Nharangga) people who have occupied the area for approximately 40,000 years. Yorke Peninsula is known for its rich agricultural history, with agriculture continuing to be the largest source of employment and economic output on the Peninsula.
