Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association Immediately Started the Lobbying Process for Upgrades to Roads Across the Region to Deal with the Increased Road Activity Mission Statement As an elected level of government, the Wudinna District Council will provide leadership, representation and advocacy for its community. It will be accessible and work with the community to identify and provide for its needs efficiently and meet its aspirations. The Council will operate with integrity and be open and accountable to the community in all of its activities. Mayor’s Message Mayor Eleanor Scholz How quickly another year has gone by! We had the Council Elections last November. A big thank you to Tony Griffin for his contribution to Council over the past 5 and a half years. With Tony leaving we then welcomed Liz Habermann as our new Councillor and begun our next four-year term. We were soon into another busy year. It was with great pleasure that we saw the final section of the Kyancutta- Mt Wedge Road sealed. A big project between the two Councils, assisted with the Commonwealth’s Special Roads Funding. We celebrated with an Opening by Federal Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey and the Works Teams from both Elliston and Wudinna Councils. Thanks to our local Works Team for their efforts and for keeping up with our local road works program as well. With 2018-19 being a drier season, we soon saw paddocks drifting over local roads, a reminder of just how fragile our land is. Our Council along with others from across Eyre Peninsula and drier sections of the State were invited to attend a session with the Commonwealth Drought Commissioner, as a result we were included in the Drought Funding Project for Councils with a 6- month timeframe to spend the funds. Our Council chose to invest this money across our district into community projects that we normally wouldn’t be able to contribute to. See our Economic Development Manager’s Report for the fantastic outcomes from a varied range of projects. Our automated rubbish collection was finally underway in August last year, we invited feedback which was fed into the review and adjustment of the service. Thanks for the feedback from Ratepayers during the process. During March this year we were informed by Viterra that they would no longer be using rail for grain freight and we saw the end of trucking out by rail in May. We were assured there would be no job losses locally. Councils, through the Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association immediately started the lobbying process for upgrades to roads across the region to deal with the increased road activity. We have real concerns for safety for all on old road infrastructure that was never built for the volumes and weights of freight now imposed on it. The Council Eyre Highway Project is well underway. This will provide improved drainage and defined entry points to Highway businesses, footpath linkages to town services, some undergrounding of power lines and preparation for landscaping works with a focus on a future greening statement for the highway. Telecommunications continues to be an issue across our district. Council through our CEO continues to work and lobby for solutions. Individuals can also assist by continually reporting issues to their Providers. Please take the time to read our Officer’s Reports enclosed, we appreciate feedback on all projects undertaken for our district. In closing, I thank our Councillor’s for their time and commitment to work for our communities. Thanks to Alan our Council CEO, Managers and all Staff for their dedication and work for the district.

  • Annual Report Details the Last 12 Months Activity Undertaken by the EPLGA, Its Financial Accounts, and Operative Regional Collaborative Partnerships
    EYRE PENINSULA LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION A N N U A L R E P O R T 2019-20 W W W . E P L G A . C O M . A U Authors: Peter Scott Executive Officer Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association Sue Henriksen Business Support Officer Regional Development Australia Eyre Peninsula Inc. Cover photo: Murphy's Haystacks, Eyre Peninsula. Photo: SATC. Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT This annual report details the last 12 months activity undertaken by the EPLGA, its financial accounts, and operative regional collaborative partnerships. The vision and goal of the EPLGA, to “enable Eyre Peninsula councils to excel, innovate, and thrive”, has never been more relevant for the region than now. We have been facing many challenges and opportunities, with the need for the councils of the EP to be working closely together. The EPLGA has seen a change in the position of Executive Officer, with Tony Irvine retiring at the end of 2019. The contribution which Tony has made over many years of involvement with local government on the Eyre Peninsula deserves recognition, especially his time as the EPLGA Executive Officer. The EPLGA is in a much stronger position due to the work which has been done by Tony over his tenure. Peter Scott was appointed in February 2020, bringing with him already established knowledge and relationships from his prior employment. With this appointment, there was also developed a shared service agreement with RDAEP to deliver economic development projects agreed with a joint workplan arrangement. These new and unique arrangements will help local government have a strong interest in economic development and also make economic savings for both organisations.

I was born at Tumby Bay on Spencer Gulf in November 1940, the daughter of John Roe, farmer, and Edna Ivy, nee Heath, nurse and housewife. I left Eyre Peninsula in early 1955 for further schooling in Adelaide. Current wisdom has it that mothers are the most important factor in shaping girls’ ambitions. This is dubious historically and, in my case, perforce untrue. My mother died on 13 January 1942 in a private hospital in Adelaide after a long illness when I was fourteen months old. She died, in the words of the death certificate, of ‘pulmonary tuberculosis, some months’, or, as her sister said grimly, of washing too many sheets. In today’s terms, it was a preventable death. Had the necessary antibiotics been available, she may have recovered, despite four pregnancies in seven years and vulnerability to tuberculosis, which had already carried off one of her sisters.
