Happy Easter everyone!

It's been a very busy time in the consultation team. This newsletter provides details of a new opportunity and the outcomes of other consultations recently completed.

COMMUNITY SATISFACTION SURVEY 2022

This morning we opened the Community Satisfaction Survey. This survey provides an opportunity for you to to tell us what services you use, what we are doing well and where there are opportunities for improvement.

The survey is open until 4pm, Wednesday 4 May, so there is plenty of time to sit down with a cuppa and complete the questions.

There is also a chance to win a $50 voucher to a Food Trail business of your choice if you complete the survey online, so be sure to fill it out and tell your friends and family this holiday break!

RECENT DECISIONS

At its meeting on 5 April, Council considered the outcome of the following consultations:

• Lochiel Park Dog Park - After receiving the Community's feedback, Council deferred making a decision on this matter until Elected Members receive a CEO Briefing Session on proposed options available to them. A further report will go to Council on this matter after the Briefing Session has been held.
• Upgrades to Playford Road Reserves- Council received the Community's feedback and resolved to:
  • adopt the Playford Road Reserve site as the location for collocating the Community Landcare Nursery and Newton Community Garden
  • adopt the Playford Road Tennis Courts site concept design in principle, subject to the Reconciliation Advisory Committee confirmation of the Kaurna elements of the design
  • refer the naming proposals for the Playford Road Tennis Courts site to the Reconciliation Advisory Committee to consider a name for Council’s consideration

Further information is available from the Council Agendas and Minutes section of Council's website.

Draft Climate Solutions Policy

At its meeting on 13 April, the Climate Solutions Advisory Committee received the Community's feedback on the draft Policy and considered changes as proposed by Staff as a result of the feedback. Following the Committee expressing support for the Policy, a further report will now be prepared for Council to consider its formal adoption.

REPORTS TO BE CONSIDERED NEXT WEEK

At its meeting on Tuesday 19 April, Council will receive the outcome of two consultations and consider Staff recommendations as follows:

• Pamela Avenue Reserve Upgrade - Staff are recommending that a revised Concept Plan be adopted (the BBQ and chess facilities are recommended to be removed from the design and it is proposed to include provision within the design for a shade structure to be able to be installed over the playground at a future stage when budget allows for this opportunity)
• Tuku Wirra - proposed new name for King George and Church Reserves - Staff are recommending that the name change proceed as 72% of participants supported the name change

Further details are available from the reports in this agenda, available from the Council Agendas and Minutes section of Council's website.
