See page 4 for more information about our #LiveLovePAE photo campaign. LEADERSHIP A City confident in its leaders SEMAPHORE WARD

The Semaphore Ward has the huge advantage of having two wide main street boulevards, in Semaphore Road and Jetty Road. One of my favourite places, along with many locals and visitors, is the Semaphore grassed median strip, as in summer it fills up with families eating fish and chips. While Jetty Road is more low key, it is undergoing a quiet redevelopment, with a range of quirky shops alongside the grand . I have always loved the bargain movies at our old-time Odeon Star Semaphore Cinema, but a recent favourite spot is one of the newer businesses, the nearby Sweet Amber bar. My pick from their great range is their chocolate stout - a health food! We have been fortunate to hold on to many old character buildings and I want to make sure that any future development is sympathetic to maintaining the character of the street. The beautiful jetties and wide beaches of Semaphore and Largs will always be a drawcard for the whole Council area. Although the recent storms damaged a lot of the sand dune system and coastal plantings, especially in the Semaphore South area, the Council has been active in climate change mitigation and coastal protection programs, and I will continue to work to strengthen these programs. Cr Michelle Hogan

My favourite places in the Semaphore Ward are the beaches. I love the serenity and I enjoy walking with my grandchildren at all times of the year. I particularly love the continuous walking path from Outer Harbor to Semaphore South, with a raised portion from Taperoo to Largs Bay, which helps to protect our amazing dunes. This path is well used by families and sporting enthusiasts, either running, walking or biking. I have also chosen the beach at the Largs Bay Sailing Club because they are hosting 2 major Youth Regattas – the first from 2-9 January for Optimist's followed by the International Cadet Australian Championship Regatta from 11-19 January 2017. This will showcase this fantastic area and surrounding suburbs. Largs Bay beach, along with Semaphore, are where our newly trialled beach access mats will be positioned next summer. These mats will enable everyone from people with disabilities, to the young or old to access the sand and water if they choose to. The council is also undergoing community consultation in relation to new accessible adult changing room facilities for people with disabilities, to be placed in close proximity to the beach access mats. This is very exciting news for our residents and our coastal tourism. I also must mention the with its abundance of marine life, especially our magical dolphins that seem to appear everywhere.

LANGUAGE REGISTER Did you know that within our richly multicultural region, more than 6% of our population don’t speak English and 22% speak a language other than English at home. We think this is a wonderful reflection of our diversity, however we recognise it can pose a barrier to some people who want to access or understand Council services or seek assistance from Council staff. So to help improve our communication with our community, we’ve developed a register of staff at the Civic Centre and Libraries who speak a second language.

HISTORY BROUGHT TO LIFE IN THE PORT A young woman, pale-faced, bare-footed in a rag-like dress wanders aimlessly along Lipson Street. A wide-eyed forlorn look – she draws concerned glances from passers-by as she anxiously wrings her hands. Some even approach her to ask after her welfare. She assures them she’s ok.
