ATTACHMENT 1 From: Adrian Shackley Sent: Tuesday, 26 April 2016 10:52 AM To: Sam Dilena <[email protected]> Cc: Henry Inat <[email protected]>; Elected Members <[email protected]> Subject: Link Road

Hello Will our Link Rd consultant be present for the discussion tonight? Having studied the road alignment as shown in the EBS report I have some comments and questions. The works indicated on the road alignments suggest that all creek crossings will be earth embankments rather than small bridges. That may be workable if the steep creeks have very large culverts to provide 2m or so clearance through the creeklines to allow fauna and people movement. Do we have any indication of the comparative cost of a small bridge compared with the earth embankments? With the alignment for the path along the pipeline south of OTH Rd (eckerman) - best seen on actual p 26 of EBS report - I don't understand why works would spill over the pipeline and to the west. I also don't see why any significant amount of banking is required on the first creek crossing. The gradient is quite shallow at that crossing eg using the 2m contours off Nature Maps - a fairly flat line 70m long across the creek has about a 5m max elevation above the creek bed. If a simple 2m high culvert is used the gradients to the culvert top are 1:10 from the south and 1:13 from the north. I assume such slopes would be acceptable and hence minimal earth bank required. By contract the Eastern option crossing has a max 9m elevation over 70m creating slopes to a 2m culvert of 1:3 south side and 1:4.5 north side - clearly requiring major buildup as shown on page 26. Also the Eckerman alignment currently show 8 euc porosa trees in the assessed area. Based on the aerial view and matching with some long distance scoping - if the alignment was moved 10-15m to the east at a point just north of the creek it would avoid all of these trees except the lone tree on the southern side - and this could be avoided with a minor swerve or perhaps an island refuge. I am also concerned that the tree impacts of the DPTI (and Eastern) alignment between the South Para and OTH Rd are not assessed. This alignment crosses a deep creek about 250m WSW from the N end of Eckerman Ave. Using the Eckerman option as I understand it would remove the need for this creek crossing (a cycle pedestrian crossing may be appropriate but vehicle traffic not needed - similar to the land division design at Woodvale). Using the same embankment designs as for other areas looks like at least 7 Significant and 1 Regulated Euc porosa would be in the envelope. I don't think this has been assessed for the DPTI option at this stage. The Eckerman bridge across the S Para by swinging slightly to the west also saves the very big red gum on the South Para (talk to Stuart Bates about that one). It has a significant effect on assessing environmental impacts. I appreciate that EBS have assessed a wide corridor because of potential for changed alignment. Apart from the logical change for Eckerman creek set out above and potentially a change to the connection between Potts Rd onto the Link Road from the west (3 Euc porosa affected which probably could be reduced) I don't think any other realignment will have significant benefits to flora and fauna. The creeklines just south of Potts Road contain similar density of Euc porosa trees in the relevant area.


of 36 ……..………… ……………… Chair Date


While the number of affected trees sounds high to me at least in the EBS report - it is a lot less if the trees which are in the 10m buffer outside of suggested works are removed and ones that are right on the boundary of works are assumed to be kept. My figures for trees definitely removed on above assumptions is Alexander to Potts line. 8 Sig or Reg E. porosa on main line plus 0-3 on the Potts Rd link depending on design. Add big feral pine and palm which are best regarded as weeds. Potts to South Para on Eckerman line - potentially only 1 E. porosa near creek and 2 Sugar gums on OTH roundabout. The planted trees in private land along Eckerman - no reason for these to be affected Potts to South Para on Eastern line - 4 E. porosa and 1 Sugar gum south of OTH Rd. Probably 8 E. porosa and 1 Red Gum north of OTH Rd. I also think some Sugar gums on OTH Road will be added to cater for the 2 roundabouts but that information also not indicated in EBS plan - is that available. My conclusion from above is that the current report and public consultation which talks about up to 10 trees affected on Eastern alignment and up to 19 on Eckerman line is presenting an inaccurate picture. I guess the paperwork is underway for this but some change may be possible and we could present better info on the web site? Re road design. The road alignments are very "linear". I assume it is not too difficult to create some more curves to avoid trees. Regarding speed on roads. It seems clear that a LR through main residential areas will be 50kph. But the Eckerman line east of the pipeline would clearly allow higher speeds because there will be only a handful of nearby properties. A speed in that area of 60, 70 or even possibly more could apply. Having a shorter travel time clearly helps attract people and reduces traffic elsewhere. Do we have any guidelines on how to assess the cost/benefit of this? A separate shared cycle walking path is also easier to manage with the Eckerman line because essentially the need for footpaths is reduced. That should mean a narrower road width, probably cheaper construction. There is also the option of the separate path being on the west side of the pipeline which would make it more attractive for both cyclists and pedestrians. The south part of Eastern line once it crosses the pipeline also gets this benefit. Hopefully some more information relative to above can be provided tonight. Regards Adrian Shackley

DEPUTY MAYOR’S SPEECH "In welcoming you here today,

We would like to acknowledge this land that we meet on today is the

traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual

relationship with their country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as

the custodians of the greater Adelaide region and that their cultural and

heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.

Apologies: from Mayor Karen Redman currently working for our Town and

local businesses in China and Hon Tony Piccolo MP with a family

commitment.

Thank Nigel Venning for hosting us. I commend Nigel on rehanging the

missing photographs of Gawler identities as portrayed in Martin Johnson’s

2008 book of poetry, City of Now.

Martin received a grant from Arts SA in 2007 to write about Gawler at the

beginning of the 21st century. With the poems in place, Martin commissioned

local artist Norm Neilson to do a painting blending old Gawler with its new

dimensions – including picturesque hillsides giving way to housing estates.

The result saw Norm’s painting become the book’s front cover.

Towards the end of 2007, Martin began to work with local photographer

Jacqueline Law-Smith to focus on well-known members of the Gawler

community.

A Martin quote “I remember saying to Jacqui, I want every-one smiling,”

“This, to me, is uplifting to the viewer. Makes them feel good and heartened

by the experience even though, in possibly many cases, the people

photographed are unknown to them.”


of 36 ……..………… ……………… Chair Date


A Town of Gawler Community grant assisted with the costs, Gawler Business

“Totally Framed” helped do what they do best. These photographs appear in

the book and were exhibited at the Prince Albert Hotel from 2008 – 2012 -

officially opened by The Advertiser’s Katherine England on Saturday April 5,

2008.

We are all pleased that Nigel has decided to display the very character of our

Town - our unique people. Martin said to me that they are ordinary people; I

see them as extraordinary - war veterans, farmers, shop keepers, politicians,

artists and disabled all important to make the character of Gawler.

Some sadly are no longer with us and I welcome their families. Rest in peace;

Bob Ahrens, Lloyd Modra, Scott Fraser, and Geoff New.

Characters still very much with us include artist George Aldridge, local farmer

Don Cormack with the horse in the pub story and Brad Slate (Milton has given

him leave?)

Artist Norm Neilson’s photograph on the wall show him with his favourite

accessories - a coke and pastie.

Wayne Clarke, real estate agent and Vietnam veteran photographed at

Hewett on the North Para River next to a very old wool cleaning site.

Jacqueline Law-Smith is pictured on the wall in bright colour .

It even includes a photograph and poem of our hard working Member for Light

Tony Piccolo who has helped many in our community.

Martin should be very proud he has captured in poem and image our Town’s

characters and important structures, including a poem on our stone walls and

underground rooms. Martin’s work represents all of us.

On behalf of the town of Gawler Council As Deputy Mayor of Town of Gawler,

I am very proud and honoured to open the display.
