Report

LGA – SA Regional Organisation of Councils (SAROC) – Annual Business Plan (APB) As per attached correspondence & SAROC Annual Business Plan, LGA/SAROC are seeking input into the 21/22 ABP. LGA were to hold a workshop with LCLGA at the recent LCLGA Board Meeting (12/2/21) – but this did not occur due to technology issues.

Overall, the SAROC Annual Business Plan covers various matters that are issues on more of a state-wide basis, rather than a local basis – and this remains a sound approach.

From a local (and LCLGA basis), I suggest that we also seek the assistance or inclusion in SAROC advocacy approach and ABP on: • Improved communication and consultation between LGA Secretariat and regional Councils

Naracoorte Lucindale Council, Agenda 23 February 2021 Page 4 NARACOORTE LUCINDALE COUNCIL

AGENDA FOR COUNCIL MEETING BEING HELD ON 23 February 2021

– there appears to be times when opinions or needs of metropolitan local government can drive the agenda rather than the LGA undertaking some early communications with all Councils (including regional); • Local Government Functional Support Group (LGFSG) – advocate for a review of function, role, and effectiveness of LGFSG including resourcing (human and financial).

Although broadly covered, I also suggest that specific items such as housing, health & education services, and attraction of working age population to our district and region should be prioritised.

LGA – Electronic Attendance at Council Meetings and Informal Gatherings As per the attached LGA Discussion Paper, the LGA is seeking feedback on the possible continuation of legislation (post COVID Emergency Declaration) enabling attendance at Council Meetings and Informal Gatherings by electronic means.

Council adopted a temporary policy to enable our Council Meetings to be conducted by electronic means (in our case, via Zoom) during the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration period. This temporary Policy was then removed by Council, and in effect – we chose to have meeting by face-to face attendance.

Legislation already exists to allow attendance at committee meetings, or informal gatherings by electronic means.

Questions that the LGA are seeking feedback on as part of the Discussion Paper are:

Q1 – Should there be conditions or limitations on electronic attendance? If yes, what conditions or limitations should apply? By way of response, I suggest the following approach: • Does Council support attendance at Councils Meetings by electronic means? Based on our experience there were some members who were happy to do so, and some that were not. From a CEO perspective, I would consider that meeting via electronic means did not appear beneficial to elected member interaction and discussion/debate. I would suggest that we provide feedback to the LGA that we do not support attendance at Council Meetings via electronic means. • If legislation did pass to allow attendance at Council Meetings by electronic means – what conditions would elected members consider. These could include: o Only allow electronic attendance due to an emergency declaration (as exists now – temporarily) o Only allow electronic attendance of an individual elected member for one meeting within a 6-month period o Council should be required to adopt a policy on attendance at Council Meetings via electronic means (so the legislation becomes a policy choice of each Council)

Q2 – What governance issues have you encountered when holding electronic meetings and what do you recommend may mitigate these issues? • The differing technology skills and confidence of users appear to be the main barriers in effective collective use of meetings by electronic means. Training may mitigate this, but I

Naracoorte Lucindale Council, Agenda 23 February 2021 Page 5 NARACOORTE LUCINDALE COUNCIL

AGENDA FOR COUNCIL MEETING BEING HELD ON 23 February 2021

suggest that these barriers will continue to exist. • Control of Zoom (or other technology) allows for exclusion of elected members, or members of the public as and when required ie in-confidence items, conflict of interest, etc. • The potential for other persons to be listening or viewing meetings when (say) matters are in-confidence and an elected member is in attendance via electronic means are a real and significant governance issue. • Formal voting process was a challenge, particularly when there was a blend of in-attendance and attendance by electronic means

I suggest that we provide feedback to the LGA that our primary position is that we do not support attendance at Council Meetings by electronic attendance, but if it is supported by majority of local governments, and legislation is passed – then restrictions or conditions as outlined in this report also be advised to the LGA.

Staff Updates The following has, or will occur from a staff recruitment perspective: • Manager Operations (replacement position) – formal recruitment not commenced. • Governance Officer – Erica Wilson.

Other Meetings and Activities • Fire Recovery Meetings and Activities • LCLGA CEO’s Forum • LINC Meeting • Strategic Asset & Planning Committee Meeting • NRLE Board Meeting • LCLGA – Workshop & Board Meeting • Dawson Open House – Workers Accommodation • Naracoorte Lions Club – Youth of the Year Judging Panel & Dinner • Enterprise Bargaining Meetings & negotiations • Audit Committee Meeting • Governor of Visit

Outlined below is the suggested process to prepare, consult and adopt the budget for 2021- 22. This process involves commitment from elected members to attend informal gatherings and special council meetings.

In previous years the first workshop with elected members has been held in March, with a second workshop in April and presentation of draft documents in May. In 2020, the April workshop did not occur due to restrictions related to COVID-19.

Dear Mayor Vickery South Australian Regional Organisation of Councils (SAROC) Annual Business Plan 2021-22 I am writing on behalf of the Local Government Association’s SAROC committee to seek your input into the development of our Annual Business Plan 2021-22. The Annual Plan is a key driver of SAROC’s mission to provide leadership support, representation and advocacy on behalf of regional South Australian Councils for the benefit of the Community. Over the next year, SAROC will seek to build on what we have achieved in partnership with councils. There is an opportunity for regional councils to come together through SAROC to increase State Government awareness of the needs of regional communities and the support role of councils in the social and economic recovery from drought, bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic. Through our Strategic Plan 2019-23, SAROC has committed to prioritise and address issues that are common across the regional councils. At a recent meeting, members discussed the opportunity for SAROC to maintain its focus on actions that support to the following strategic themes: Economic Development Regional South Australia plays a critical role in supporting the South Australian economy. SAROC is responding to the needs of councils by advocating to State and Federal governments and identifying opportunities for improved regional partnerships. What are the ways in which SAROC can support regional councils to play their important role in stimulating the economic growth in post COVID-19 recovery? Community Development SAROC recognises the importance of strong, vibrant and cohesive regional communities through advocacy and partnerships that unlock local government’s potential to deliver quality community services and meaningful outcomes in public health and wellbeing. What actions can SAROC take to support councils to deliver quality community services and meaningful outcomes in public health and wellbeing?

Natural and Built Environment SAROC acknowledges local government’s role in influencing, informing and advocating for the State Government to address policy and legislative barriers that hinder councils from undertaking their roles in maintaining and enhancing the natural and built environment in regional South Australia. What are the key policy and legislative barriers that hinder councils from undertaking their roles and how can SAROC support councils? Financial Sustainability and Governance SAROC recognises the challenges regional councils face in attaining and maintaining financial sustainability. SAROC acknowledges that councils proactively improve practices to achieve best practice in financial management, governance and reporting. What are the key issues that SAROC can pursue on behalf of regional councils that would contribute toward local government financial sustainability and governance arrangements? A copy of the current SAROC Annual Business Plan may be accessed via this link: SAROC Annual Business Plan 2020-21 for further reference. SAROC has also discussed the opportunity to engage widely with all regional councils, regardless of their seat on the SAROC committee. As such, I also encourage you to discuss ideas with your Regional LGAs. Please provide any written response by Friday, 5 February 2021. Subsequently, SAROC will host a series of workshops commencing in February 2021 with council members, CEOs and managers/practitioners to facilitate discussion and input in setting the 2021-22 Annual Business Plan. If you have any questions, or require further information, please email Allison Down, Executive Coordinator GAROC & SAROC Committees, at [email protected] or telephone 8224 2054. Thank you in advance for your input. Together we can continue to play an essential role in the long-term prosperity, sustainability and wellbeing of the South Australian regional communities.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mayor Vickery,

I am writing to provide you with an update following a meeting of the LGA’s South Australian Regional Organisation of Councils (SAROC) committee, held on Thursday, 3 December 2020.

This was the first meeting in the current term of SAROC, following elections at the recent LGA Annual General Meeting.

SAROC’s Annual Business Plan 2021-22

I have attached a letter inviting your input to SAROC’s next Annual Business Plan.

We are seeking initial written input by Friday 5 February 2021, which will be followed by a series of workshops later in the month with elected members and council staff to facilitate further discussion and refinement.

The Annual Plan is a key driver of SAROC’s mission to provide leadership support, representation and advocacy on behalf of regional South Australian Councils for the benefit of the Community. SAROC will seek to build on what we have achieved together over recent years and will work with your Councils and the Regional LGAs to ensure that SAROC is a strong, united voice for regional councils.

Economic Development

As a Committee we also agreed to running the SAROC Regional Development Forum in February 2021.

Based on the from Regional Development South Australia, this forum will inform strategic planning aspirations into the future and beyond COVID. SAROC has also agreed to hold a Regional Development Workshop to be held in February 2021, in partnership with the Regional Development SA. This will build on the RDSA Recovery, Re-imagining and Growth Blue Print and bring together a broad range of stakeholders to drive cross collaboration, innovation and inform SAROC’s future policy development and advocacy as relevant to local government and member councils in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I look forward to providing you with further details shortly, as we make the arrangements for this forum.

Community Development

Recognising that regional medical workforce development in an important issue in many South Australian regions, I will be writing to the Hon. Stephen Wade MLC Minister for Health and Wellbeing, and CEO of the Country Public Health Network, Mr Kim Hosking to discuss the unique challenges facing rural communities and how local government might play a role attracting, retaining and supporting new workers in our communities. Moving forward, SAROC will seek to assist a key action from the Rural Medical Workforce Plan 2019-2024 by working with the Rural Support Service to investigate how to maximise the personal and family supports provided to rural doctors by assisting efforts in:

housing, transport costs and childcare support for partners and families, including social and community supports.

Little Corellas have also featured in the Committee’s work. Minister Speirs has commended SAROC on its willingness to invest into research and management of the species. SAROC will liaise with the Department of Environment and Water (DEW) through the LGA Secretariat, to ensure that a coordinated and collaborative approach to research is carried out. SAROC has set aside $19,000 for biological advice and coordinated habitat interventions and trial sites and anticipates additional funding from DEW to progress this.

And lastly, consistent with our strategic objectives, on the important topic of water policy, Regional LGA’s and the LGA Secretariat will prepare a meeting for member councils in April 2021 to inform our future advocacy for a national water policy.

I’m looking forward to working closely with all of our Regional LGAs to promote and facilitate information sharing, communication and collaboration between our regional councils.

Electronic attendance at council meetings & informal gatherings

Discussion Paper

January 2021

Context Following a decision of members at the LGA’s 2020 Annual General Meeting, the LGA will shortly commence advocacy to the State Government to include provisions in the Local Government Act 1999 (LG Act) and the Local Government (Procedures at Meetings) Regulations 2013 (Regulations) for elected members to attend meetings and informal gatherings by electronic means. The LGA seeks feedback from councils on the scope of the provisions and any additional issues the LGA may need to consider. In response to COVID-19, the new temporary section 302B was inserted in the LG Act, empowering the Minister responsible for local government to, by Notice published in the Government Gazette, vary or suspend operation of provisions of the LG Act where it is reasonably necessary during a public health emergency and where relevant public health emergency declarations have been made. The Electronic Participation in Council Meetings Notice (No 1) 2020 (Notice) was made on 31 March 2020 and provides for some or all council members to participate in a council meeting by electronic means. This has enabled councils to continue to make important decisions for their communities during difficult and uncertain times. The Notice will expire on 31 December 2021 or 28 days after the end of COVID emergency declarations, whichever occurs first. Councils will then need to revert to full face-to- face meetings in accordance with the ordinary provisions of the LG Act. Councils have proven during COVID-19 that electronic council meetings are possible, and in particular, that meeting integrity can be maintained, and public access ensured. The sector has now experienced what additional benefits arise from electronic participation in council meetings and informal gatherings, such as reducing night-time travel in regional areas, increasing flexibility for elected members with dependents, accommodating interstate or overseas travel, and for personal health reasons. Questions The LGA seeks feedback from councils on the following: 1. Should there be conditions or limitations on electronic attendance? If yes, what conditions or limitations should apply? While there are benefits to electronic meetings, it is also important to recognise the value of face-to- face representation and public access to meetings. To find a balance between the two, the LGA seeks feedback on what conditions or limitations should be put in place for electronic meetings. For example, should electronic participation only be considered under certain circumstances and if so what, and should any conditions or limitations imposed be at the discretion of council. 2. What governance issues have you encountered when holding electronic meetings and what do you recommend may mitigate those issues? The sector has had the ability to participate in meetings by electronic means for some time now and the LGA understands that councils are best equipped to identify the governance implications that accompany electronic meetings, and what measures are best appropriate to solve those issues. The LGA seeks input from councils on what governance issues you have encountered whilst facilitating electronic participation at meetings and informal gatherings, and your views on possible mitigation.

LGA of SA ECM 728937 Discussion Paper: Electronic Attendance at Council meetings & informal gatherings Page 1 of 2

For example, when using electronic meetings:

• how does your council manage the requirement for a council member to ‘leave the meeting room’ so they cannot view or hear any discussion or voting at the meeting after declaring a material conflict of interest?

• how does your council ensure only council members and permitted persons are present online when discussing items in confidence at a meeting?

Any feedback can be provided to Nicole Bilac, Governance and Policy Officer at [email protected]. Please provide feedback before 5pm on 1 March 2021.

(a) Operating Surplus / (Deficit) measures the extent to which operating revenue is or is not sufficient to meet all of the costs of providing council services, which include depreciation. Where an operating deficit exists, some costs being incurred in the current year are not being met by today’s ratepayers.

(b) Net Lending / (Borrowing) equals Operating Surplus / (Deficit), less Net Outlays on existing and new assets. The Net Lending / (Borrowing) result is a measure of the Council’s overall (i.e. Operating and Capital) budget on an accrual basis. The Net Lending /(Borrowing) result can be expected to fluctuate from year to year, given the lumpy nature of some capital expenditure. Achieving a zero result on the Net Lending /(Borrowing) measure in any one year essentially means that the Council has met all of its expenditure (both operating and capital) from the current year’s revenues.

(c) The Net Lending / (Borrowing) for the financial year does not include principal repayments in relation to loan borrowings. Naracoorte Lucindale Council

1 Operating Surplus/(Deficit) Ratio - % Expresses the operating surplus(deficit) as a percentage of operating income. Where an operating deficit exists, this percentage indicates the percentage increase needed in rate revenue to achieve a break-even operating result.

2 Net Financial Liabilities Ratio Expresses net financial liabilities as a percentage of Total Operating Revenue. This measure indicates the capacity of Council to meet its financial obligations from revenue streams. Where the ratio is falling, it indicates that a Council's capacity to meet its financial obligations from revenue streams is strengthening. Conversely, where this ratio is increasing, it indicates that a Council's capacity to meet its financial obligations is deteriorating.

3 Asset Renewal Funding Ratio Indicates whether the Council is renewing or replacing existing non-financial assets at the same rate as its overall stock of assets is wearing out.

Report

The Naracoorte Creek Master Plan was adopted in February 2020, a key focus of the plan was to retain water in the creek, to improve the amenity of the creek and the flow on benefits; wellbeing, tourism and provision of native habitat.

The Naracoorte Creek has a number of existing weirs that are in deteriorating condition and have become pervious allowing water through the structure itself so the back water level doesn’t reach the intended height. This results in longer dry stretches along the creek length and doesn’t create a consistent depth or water profile for plant or aquatic species.

A hydrological study and survey was undertaken along the creek to identify locations for improvements to enable:

• Retaining water over the whole length of the creek for the Naracoorte creek walk • Enable and support fish passage for biodiversity • Minimise the impact on the creek for the construction phase of the weirs • No increase in localized flooding due to the weir renewals

Ten locations have been identified through this survey to create a consistent water depth along the creek including some of the existing weir heights being lowered to reduce the risk of upstream flooding. The design is currently with LandscapeSA for approval.

Report

Department of Infrastructure and Transport have provided an update on the design of two overtaking lanes to be constructed along the Riddoch Highway within our district.

The first overtaking lane (DIT ref: North) is located between Elmor Road and Range Road, for South bound traffic. It will be 2 km long with a 1.4m wide centre line treatment to reduce risk of head on vehicle collision.

Naracoorte Lucindale Council, Agenda Strategic Asset and Planning Committee 9 February 2021 Page 5 NARACOORTE LUCINDALE COUNCIL

AGENDA FOR STRATEGIC ASSET AND PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING BEING HELD ON 9 February 2021 The second overtaking lane (DIT ref Central) is located between Tintagel Road and Wrattonbully Road for North bound traffic. It will also be 2 km long with a 1.4m wide centre line treatment to reduce risk of head on vehicle collision.

A typical profile is provided below.

DIT’s designers are finalising their designs and are currently undertaking consultation with adjoining landowners. It is expected the project will be released for tender by March / April, with construction commencing by late Spring / early Summer to avoid the heavier rains.

Report

In the October 2020 Council Meeting, Elected Member’s awarded the construction of a concrete pump track as Stage 3 of a multi year upgrade of the Market Square Skate Park, Naracoorte.. The design has been finalised and construction is expected to be carried out in late March.

Naracoorte Lucindale Council, Agenda Strategic Asset and Planning Committee 9 February 2021 Page 6 NARACOORTE LUCINDALE COUNCIL

AGENDA FOR STRATEGIC ASSET AND PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING BEING HELD ON 9 February 2021

The pump track has been designed to accommodate the youngest and newest users to the park, it will be separated from the existing skate park so these young users can be out of the area of the faster more skilled users. The pump track will offer small mogul style humps, allowing users to get used to rolling over and generating speed, then with berms either end so users get the feel of turning around a transitioned corner.

This project is being delivered through the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.

Report With seven (7) months of the year complete, income is sitting at 69% of budget: • EU Cattle already achieving 95% of budget • other sale day fees at 70% • Income from the canteen lease will be lower this year, due to an approved reduction in lease fee as a result of reduced attendees at the NRLE during COVID-19. • Stock disposal is down, which though reducing an income stream for the NRLE, is positive in terms of animal welfare.

Operating expenditure is at 53% of budget: • Maintenance expenditure for the truck wash is high, but this currently includes provision of a pump, which will be more accurately costed to capital – small plant, reducing the spend by approximately $8,500. • Maintenance of the weighbridge is at 88%, this is due to repairs of $3,600 to the panels

Capital expenditure is at 64% of budget: • Minor plant is unbudgeted and relates to the replacement of sump pumps • Buildings – floor coverings replaced in canteen were slightly higher than estimated and there will be additional expenditure required to install air-conditioning in the office occupied by a part-time employee who has taken on the responsibility of compliance reporting, development of maintenance schedules and manuals and other administrative tasks • Cattle selling pens completed, with balance of budget & spend to be allocated for truck wash modifications (final project costs still to be determined)

As at 31 January 2020 the NRLE has an operating surplus of $456,520 and a cash overdraft of $51,050, which is currently incurring an interest charge of 2.05%pa.

6.2. Management

Staff levels

Over the past 6 months the NRLE has seen a number of key staff leave and with further changes expected over the coming months we would like to assure the board that a full review of the facility is being undertaken. Further details of changes and staffing levels will be provided in the coming months.

Operations manual

A comprehensive operations manual is being prepared for the NRLE. The operations manual will have a documented process for all activities at the NRLE and will be reviewed on an annual basis.

Documented maintenance program

In consultation with NRLE staff a maintenance program is being prepared. The documented maintenance program will take into account the activities undertaken on a regular basis as well as activities that occur less often, including schedule plant maintenance based on manufacturer’s recommendation. The maintenance program will be reviewed annually prior to the commencement of the budget process.

Naracoorte Lucindale Council, Naracoorte Regional Livestock Exchange Board Agenda 10 February 2021 Page 7 NARACOORTE LUCINDALE COUNCIL

AGENDA FOR NARACOORTE REGIONAL LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE BOARD MEETING BEING HELD ON 10 FEBRUARY 2021

A Request for Tender has been issued for the Design and Construct of a roof over the D yards, this has had a good level of interest to date. Submissions are required by February 18 2021.

6.3. Promotion and Marketing

The MLA 2020 saleyard survey was received in December showing Naracoorte is processing 34.6% of the South Australia’s cattle and 45.8% of the sheep.

A letter of thanks was received from the Australian Livestock & Property Agents Association ALPASA for our support of the Young Auctioneers Competition.

Integrity Systems Company (ISC), a subsidiary of Meat and Livestock Australia, is preparing to launch an exciting communication and extension campaign designed to encourage industry advocacy and improved adoption and compliance with Australia's red meat integrity system and its programs (LPA, NLIS and NVD). Naracoorte is a host site for this program and although the roll out has been slowed down due to COVID restrictions, the Saleyards Manager is providing assistance to the advisory group as needed.

6.4. Compliance

EPA

Since 1995 Council has had an EPA licence for the NRLE. While conditions have changed over time within this, the activities that this licence covers are as follows: • Saleyards • Composting works

There are a number of items within this licence that require all reasonable and practicable measures to be taken. This is to prevent dust, noise and odour from leaving the premises. Other conditions of the licence include the prevention of contamination of water by feedstock or compost and all reasonable and practicable measures are to be taken to prevent contamination of stormwater.

Part of this licence also provides the operational management guidelines for the disposal of sludge and manure, the storage of sludge and biosolids and the implementation of a wastewater irrigation management plan (WIMP). While we have a WIMP in place it is concerning that a number of items within this document were not being undertaken.

The current EPA license expires in October 2022.

Ground water monitoring tests and waste water tests have been undertaken this month.

Animal Welfare

NRLE staff noticed a pen with multiple lame sheep on December 17, 2020. Once inspected, it was identified the sheep were infected with a foot issue. PIRSA was contacted to inspect and instructed to destroy 13 of the sheep. The rest were loaded up and returned to the

AGENDA FOR NARACOORTE REGIONAL LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE BOARD MEETING BEING HELD ON 10 FEBRUARY 2021 agent including associated fees for the destruction of the sheep. PIRSA is liaising with the land holder.

6.5. WHS & Risk Management

A number of fence panels have been found lying on the ground by Council Staff with no notification of when or how this damaged occurred. Communications have been sent to all known users to remind them of the process of reporting damage.

A number of years ago a Work Health Safety document was purchased from LSVA. This document needs a formal review and needs to be implemented and embraced across the facility. A number of changes will be made to allow this information to be incorporated into Councils Work Health Safety program.

6.6. Waste Water Treatment/Truck Wash Modification

Mr Trevor Smart Chief Executive Officer Naracoorte Lucindale Council PO Box 555 NARACOORTE SA 5271

Dear Mr Smart

As you are aware the Volunteer Management Activity (VMA) is being redesigned with a new program model to commence from 1 July 2021. I would like to confirm that, consistent with the terms of your VMA grant agreement, the current arrangements will cease on 30 June 2021.

As you are aware, on 12 July 2017, the former Minister for Social Services, the Hon Christian Porter MP, advised all funded organisations that VMA should not be considered a guaranteed source of ongoing funding and as such should use the funding period (1 January 2018 – 30 June 2021) as an opportunity to transition to a more sustainable business model.

I thank you for the valuable contribution you have made over many years to volunteering in Australia, and to your local community. The department also appreciates the input provided by community stakeholders, through engaging in the independent review of the VMA and, more recently, through the consultations and submissions into the program’s redesign.

The volunteering landscape has and is undergoing major changes with an ageing population, an increase in spontaneous volunteering, and increasing use of online technology. During the past year, many Volunteer Support Services have successfully adapted how they operate because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has presented new opportunities to change the way we support volunteers and Volunteer Involving Organisations, into the future. With these changes, it is critical that the Australian Government’s investment in volunteering is well targeted, reflects best practice, is designed to address barriers, and is aligned with Constitutional spending powers.

The redesigned VMA will see funding of up to $33.479 million over five years distributed through state and territory volunteering peak bodies from 1 July 2021, to fund those aspects of volunteer management for which the Government has constitutional authority:  The delivery of services online, including the development of a national volunteer management online platform/s and resources to support this; and.  Support for Diversity and Inclusion, aimed at improving accessibility of volunteering opportunities for identified priority groups and reducing barriers for these groups.

The department will work closely with the state and territory volunteering peak bodies to determine an equitable funding model across jurisdictions. The volunteering peak bodies will be required to work across their respective jurisdictions to develop an implementation plan for

their state that will ensure; service coverage, utilisation of existing localised structures and the effective channelling of funding to meet needs and priorities, and support for capacity building.

As part of the roll-out of the new model, the department will undertake targeted stakeholder engagement in early 2021 with currently funded organisations; non-government funded volunteer support services, and volunteers on the implementation of the new program.

The virtual stakeholder engagement session for South Australia will be held on:

Thursday, 4 February 2021 from 10:30am to 1:00pm, AEDT.

Given that you will be uniquely placed to understand jurisdictional implementation issues for the redesigned VMA program, I encourage you to participate in this process, To ensure a fair representation of stakeholder views, we ask that one person per organisation attend the workshop in their own jurisdiction. Please RSVP through the Volunteer Management mailbox at: [email protected], by Tuesday 2 February and workshop details will be provided.

I look forward to working with you on the implementation of the new VMA. If you have any questions, I can be contacted by email at [email protected].

Yours sincerely

Dear Jessie, Nigel and all at Country Arts SA,

I just wanted to write on behalf of Rory, Carol and all at Brink to say a huge thanks for having us in Naracoorte last week to work on VAUDEVILLE. What a great and productive time it was! We couldn’t be happier with the outcomes. We met so many great people and learnt so much about the theatrical history of Naracoorte and about the show itself.

We’re incredibly grateful to you for all your work in making it happen. Jessie and Nigel, you are such wonderful facilitators, supporters and collaborators – passionate and generous to a fault!

As you can tell, we’re excited about all the progress VAUDEVILLE made over the week and looking forward to the next stage of its life!

Enormous thanks again.

Chris
