REPORT
Work on the 150th Anniversary celebrations surrounding the Goolwa – Port Elliot
Railway have been proceeding well.
All committees working on the celebrations have all met at least once since the
Christmas / New Year break.
As Council are aware a media launch was recently held at the National Railway
Museum, Port Adelaide. The purpose of the launch was to initiate interest within
the media and the rail fraternity. It was felt that having the launch at the National
Railway Museum would stir greater interest in the media, hence providing
greater exposure of the event. Four significant pieces of coverage took place as
a result of the media launch :
• 4 – 5 minute interview with the Steering Committee Chairman, John Evans live from Port Adelaide on the day on Mathew Abraham’s
program on ABC Adelaide radio from 9:30am.
• 1 piece of editorial, including photo in the Advertiser on Thursday 12th February, following launch
• 4 – 5 minute interview with Historical Book Author, Malcolm Thompson, aired on Sunday 15th February on Ashley Walsh’s program o n ABC
Adelaide. Including previews during Ian McNamara’s Australia All Over
program.
• 1 – 2 minutes of discussion on 5AA with Keith Conlon and Tony Pilkington on the day of the launch

REPORT
As previously reported to Council, the Coastal Run Meningococcal Program was
held at various beaches located from Glenelg to Horseshoe Bay during January.
This joint Program co-ordinated by the City of Onkaparinga, City of Holdfast Bay,
Alexandrina Council, Southern Division of General Practice and the SA
Immunisation Unit of the Dept. of Human Services was an outstanding success.
The campaign was viewed as a success for a number of reasons. The total
number of persons vaccinated at the five sites totalled 158 and this was
recognised that those people receiving the vaccines would perhaps not have
had a future opportunity to receive the immunisation. The other major benefit of
the project was the increased awareness that the campaign achieved for the
target audience. The fact that the campaign generated a significant amount of
media attention was recognised by the project team as extremely positive.
In concluding, the campaign was unique and believed to be an Australian first.
To physically take an immunisation clinic/campaign to the beach and actively
pursue a target audience was an innovative concept in itself. As indicated, the
scale of success was not only gauged on a quantitative level, but the qualitative
component from the increased community awareness is expected to generate
and impact on future public immunisations clinics.

5.5 Development Statistics
File Ref:7.010.001
Officer: Ian Riches
REPORT
The figures presented here in this report relate to Development Approvals
granted and should not be confused with Development Applications lodged with
Council in any particular year.
The attached graphs compare the last 5 years and highlights a significant
increase in the number of Development Approvals issued in the 2003 calendar
year compared with the previous years and also shows the increased estimated
value of that approved development.
The 2003 year not only saw the most number of approvals issued – an increase
over the preceding year of approximately 21% but, for the first time, the total
estimated value of development approved in one year exceeded 100 million
dollars. This dollar value represents an increase over the 2002 year of
approximately 43%.
The major area of development in the Alexandrina Council continues to be in the
residential sector with approximately 550 new houses being approved in 2003
with an estimated value of nearly 82.4 million dollars, equating to an average
estimated value of around $150,000 per dwelling. The preceding year 2002, saw
approximately 460 new dwellings approved, valued at just under 54.3 million
dollars. This giving an average estimated value of around $117,500 per
dwelling.
Another interesting trend over the last 5 years or so has been the approval of
horticulture/viticulture developments in the Council area. The estimated value of
such approved developments peaked at approximately 11.8 million dollars in the
year 2000 and then reduced to around 2.6 million dollars for the 2003 year. ACF701 Moved Cr Jarrett seconded Cr Davis that the report be received.

ESD Impact/Benefit:-
* Environmental: The impact of the original plan was already
deemed to have had a negative impact on
the Angas River ecosystem. An amended
plan was requested with the road forming
a buffer to the River system and allowing
better access for maintenance to a river
reserve.
* Social: The social impact of the cul-de-sac
development would be the Garwood
Avenue neighbour discontent at the
current plan of division. However there
will be neighbour discontent if the road is
joined to Close Court also.
* Economic: The economic benefit of slightly less road
may mean slightly lower costs to the
developer and a tiny bit less road for
Council to maintain in the future.
REPORT
On the 10th February 2004 Council received a petition of 10 signatures regarding
an application for land division at Garwood Avenue, Strathalbyn. Residents of
Garwood Avenue would like to see the land division having dual access from
both Garwood Avenue and Close Court for emergency services and access to
the river reserve for the public and emergency services. This petition was in
response to an earlier superceded plan, the current amended plan addresses the
issue of access to the river with the road fronting this resource.
This application will be referred to the Technical Services Dept for comment on
the access issue before going to the Development Assessment Panel for a
decision. If a decision is made to look at access through Close Court, public
consultation will have to be held with these residents who have previously
indicated that they would oppose any access through Close Court.

ESD Impact/Benefit:-
* Environmental: The proposed realignment of the allotment
boundaries will create a more orderly and
practical configuration of allotments and
potentially improve the agricultural use
and management of the subject land.
* Social: As titles are more even in land size there
should be less potential for land use
conflict.
* Economic: To the benefit of the applicant for resale
value as land titles more orderly.
REPORT
There is a Land Management Agreement registered on the property dated
17.4.91 between the District Council of Port Elliot and Goolwa and John William
Anderson. The Land Division application to re-align the boundaries of this
property meets the requirements of the current Zonings that lie over the subject
land being the Watershed Protection & General Farming Zones as there are no
Titles created.

6.3 Land Management Agreement - 455/D611/03
File Ref:455/9611/03
Officer (full name): Ben Green
Continued/…
There is a Land Management Agreement (LMA) over this land that sits above the
requirements of the Development Plan and the applicants are requiring that the
following clause be varied to permit the re-alignment of boundaries to take place.
Clause 2 of the LMA states:
The owner shall not apply for, or effect a division of the lot so as to
decrease the size of the lot.
Council Planning Staff agree with the discussion raised by the Planning
Consultant for the applicant. The reasoning behind the LMA being formed in the
first instance was to retain larger land holdings for on going agricultural
productivity, which has now been covered by the Mount Lofty Ranges Primary
Production Objectives and Principles of the current Development Plan.
ACF703 Moved Cr Connor seconded Cr Beckett that Council agree to vary the provisions of the existing Land Management Agreement (LMA), as
permitted under Clause 6, therefore allowing the proposed realignment of
allotment boundaries to take place subject to the applicant bearing the
costs of undertaking the necessary changes to the LMA.
CARRIED •Kim Vivian, Acting Director Environmental Services, Tabled correspondence received at the Council meeting by Trevor Jones
attending the meeting.
•Cr Reedman requested that information also be available in hardcopy format to the public also be noted in formal correspondence that it is

File Ref:455/134/04
Officer: Ian Riches
From: Andrew Stidston
REPORT
A letter has been received requesting the waiving of all fees associated with the
application to erect a storage shed at Lot 60, Part Sec. 2339 Meadows-Goolwa
Road, Ashbourne.
COMMENTS
The fees applicable for a shed of this size are:
Lodgement $31-50
Development Plan Assessment $19-50
Building Rules Assessment $34-50
TOTAL $85-50
Council receives many similar requests from sporting and other organisations
and when the application does not require any referrals to other departments
external to Council the waiving of the two assessment fees is recommended.
The retention of the lodgement fee ($31-50) is to go towards the administration
cost of processing the application.
ACF704 Moved Cr Featherston seconded Cr Beckett that Council approve a total waiver in the fees and that the applicant be advised the fees applicable to
Development Application 455/134/04 be nil.

REPORT
Members of Council staff have met with the Chief Executive of the Central
Irrigation Trust who will be organising the National Irrigation Industry Conference
to take place at Goolwa & Hindmarsh Island on the 12th & 13th of October 2004.
The conference will cater for approximately 200 delegates from all over
Australia. The delegates attending will be from every major irrigation authority in
the country. The conference is one of the very few occasions where all of the
big water users in the Murray Darling Basin assemble at the one function.
The theme of the 2004 conference is “River of Dreams”, this will be reflected in
the presentation of the conference. Starting in the Barossa the conference will
move to Goolwa, with stopovers along the way looking at the Lower Murray
Dairy Industry, the Langhorne Creek Vineyards and irrigation around the Lakes.
A dinner is being proposed to take place at the Goods Shed on the Goolwa
Wharf on the evening of the 12th of October. A breakfast to take place at Sugars
Beach opposite the Murray Mouth on the following morning is being
investigated. The breakfast would be a major debate on the river issues. It is
expected that a significant media contingent will be present.
The major focus of the conference will be on the Murray Mouth. To highlight this
helicopter rides are being proposed to depart from Sugar’s Beach to give
delegates a greater appreciation of the status of the Lower Lakes. Boat trips are
also being looked into through the Boating Industry Association of South
Australia.

During the discussions with Jeff Parish and other members of the organising
committee it has been suggested that Council could be paid for the time of the
Tourism Events Officer to facilitate proceedings from the Goolwa and Lower
Lakes. This would involve on the ground activities, not core conference
organisation.
ACF751 Moved Cr Beckett seconded Cr Oliver Council negotiate with the Conference Organisers on the reimbursement of costs associated with the
Tourism Events Officer's time in the organising of aspects of the
conference from the Goolwa and Lower Lakes end.

REPORT
The LGA is calling for nominations for a Local Government representative on the

continued feedback on matters associated with accessible transport the Minister
has decided to replace ATAP with SACAT.
The role of SACAT is to provide advice to the Office of Public Transport on
matters relating to the implementation, operation and evaluation of transport
facilities and infrastructure initiatives related to accessibility in its broadest
context.
The term of appointment is 2 years. SACAT will meet every 2 months for up to 2
hours at the OPT Offices on Level 10 Roma Mitchell House, 136 North Terrace,
Adelaide, unless otherwise advised.
Nominations are now invited for the State Advisory Committee on Accessible
Transport and must be forwarded by a Council no later than 5.00pm on Thursday
