Council is proposing to sell part of Turramurra Reserve, Highbury.
Under the proposal, the land would be sold to Adelaide Football Club for the construction of a childcare centre. 🌳 The land is currently home to a Trees For Life (SA) site.

What do you think? Community consultation opens today. I will pop the link in the comments.

🗳️ Do you vote in Local Government Elections? Why/why not? 🗳️

The LGA AGM is coming up and on the Agenda is a recommendation to advocate to introduce compulsory voting in Local Government Elections.

I don't personally have a strong opinion either way, but I've heard it suggested that compulsory voting may cause LG Elections to become more politicised.

What do you think? Should voting be made compulsory? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔

A rainy day is a good day in the garden! 🌧️🌼 Today we celebrated 30 years of Pioneer Court Community Garden, Highbury 🌱

A huge congratulations to Mario (who pioneered the garden 30 years ago) and to all involved in growing this beautiful space over the last 30 years into what it is today - a friendly, welcoming community with the loveliest of gardens... Here's to the next 30 years of PCCG!

Wonderful also to see Deputy Mayor Kristianne Foreman, Cr Rob Unger, Cr Kimberley Drozdoff, Councillor Marina Champion and Matthew Marozzi MP join the celebrations. 🎂🤗

Hey folks, there's an important message behind all this overgrowth...
Fire danger season is approaching, be sure to prepare your property now and maintain it through the fire danger season! 🔥

🌾 Seriously though: the grass is taller than I am on verges in parts of our city at the moment, and it's particularly obvious across semi-rural areas through Steventon Ward - I raised this at the Council meeting tonight.

These areas currently operate on a different cutting schedule to the more metro parts of our city which receive much more frequent cuts.

The good news is that cutting/slashing to meet fuel load reduction requirements in time for the fire danger season has commenced this week. It will take approximately 4-6 weeks to complete, and a second cut will occur as required.

(Two community garden 30ths in one year - 1996 must have been good year for community gardens in CTTG! ☺️)
