ATTACHMENT 2 Elected members report 26th August. Garage Sale Trail – October the 25th of October. As reported at last week’ s NAWMA Board meeting, NAWMA is supporting the Garage Sale Trail program for Salisbury, Playford and Gawler Council areas. This is a national program designed to promote the messages of reuse, reduce waste to landfill, enabling new neighbourly connections, providing a platform for fundraising, inspire creativity and stimulating local economies. If you visit the web site garagesaletrails.com.au , you will get all the information you need. I feel this program embraces great values, and helps to build strong community and hopefully longterm beneficial change. The program is driven by the Garage Sale Trail organisation that provides the ‘platforms’ and other resources to promote the program. Our involvement in the Program is being funded by NAWMA and would be enhanced by some on ground support by Council within the community. The program was officially launched nationally on Monday the 11th of August. People can go to the web page and start registering garage sales. To promote the program there is a number of activities Council could undertake. These include

• Council could put up a link on its web page to the Garage Sale Trial site. • With the upcoming Council Stand at the Show, host a display. • Promote the program through its existing links in the community. • Host a ‘garage sale’ in the main street, potentially in the laneway, front

verandas and in the car park space in front of the Council buildings. This would be great exposure. Suitable dates I would consider would be 6th or 13th of September. This would give people and organisations enough time to then arrange a garage sale.

• Ongoing media releases. • Councillors could promote the program through their networks, that would

help to spread the word and build some momentum. I think it’s a great initiative and fits in neatly with the values that are good to promote within our community. Other interesting news. Also from the NAWMA Board meeting, Gawler is doing very well in the recycling stakes. Up to the 31st July Gawler has recycled 143 tonnes of material, at an average of 8.85 kgs per household service. This is above the other two Council household average.


279 ……………

Initial

The amount of green waste is on par with the other two Councils, but the amount we put out as waste per household is consistently lower that the other two. It is good to see Gawler residents taking on board good recycling habits. The other interesting figure to note is the number of people who have taken advantage of free recycling of different materials at the NAWMA facility. For the financial year 2013 -14, there were 1600 customers that delivered recyclable free of charge. It seems the practice of separating out materials and recycling does pay off. Cr Paul Koch

ATTACHMENT 3 Personal Representation from Deputy Mayor Brian Thom Since my retirement in the year 2000, I have now spent over 14 years as an Elected Member/Area Councillor for the Town of Gawler [with around 7 years as Deputy Mayor]. I now wish to announce that I have decided to retire from Town of Gawler Council at the end of this 4 year term in November 2014. I will be 70 in early 2015 and I feel that the time has come to reduce my stress levels, improve my Contract Bridge, develop the modicum of talent that I possess in oil painting, and become more of a retiree. I have much enjoyed the vast majority of time I have experienced on Council, and know full well that the many hours normally spent each week in striving to be an effective Councillor will need to be substituted with meaningful alternatives. More time will be apportioned by me to the improvement of the Gawler History Team’s website gawler.nowandthen.net.au as I feel strongly that more of Gawler’s unique history must be made available for all to see and appreciate; especially by our youth, by using 21st century technology. The Town of Gawler now has all of the appropriate plans in place to respect the majority of the community’s aspirations regarding Gawler’s future development and to guide future decision-making. I am pleased that I can retire with the Council having a balanced Budget. Those citizens who are passionate towards Gawler and its future should step up and nominate for election to Council. I sincerely thank past Mayors Piccolo, Dawkins and Sambell, past and present Councillors, and past and present CEO’s and staff for their friendship. I will always treasure the respect given to me over these years while representing Gawler’s Council, ratepayers and citizens. Deputy Mayor Brian Thom
