Capital works to benefit our CityHere’s a snapshot of some recently completed City of Tea Tree Gully capital works projects and others you can expect to see finalised in the future.

For more information on how your rates are invested, visit cttg.sa.gov.au/abp.

The spirit of volunteering continues to be alive and well in the City of Tea Tree Gully.

While Council has about 450 volunteers to help deliver community programs, there are thousands of other volunteers across our community.

The City of Tea Tree Gully benefits greatly from the contributions of all volunteers and it was a privilege to recognise the outstanding efforts of this year’s Australia Day Awards recipients.

Our citizen of the year, Michael Grech, volunteers at local schools and recently became involved in a wood-turning program to help boys develop confidence and positive learning experiences. He’s also a long-standing volunteer justice of the peace at the City of Tea Tree Gully.

Pathway Community Centre, our outstanding community group of the year, provides fresh food to people in need, including aged pensioners, unemployed people, refugees, people with disabilities, Indigenous families and the homeless. The centre, managed by Kaye and John Flack, also provides breakfast for schoolchildren in need.

Thank you to all the amazing volunteers in the community. We love what you do and the way that you do it.

Walk into historyStep back in time with a visit to the township of Tea Tree Gully. The area was cared for by the Kaurna people for at least 50,000 years, prior to European settlement in 1839. Then known as Steventon until 1900, the township was originally used by stockholders and travellers en route between Mannum and Adelaide.

Explore the township to see many beautiful historic and natural features. For information on walks in the area, visit walkingsa.org.au.

Getting back to natureIt’s only natural that most kids want to climb on rocks, build cubbies, balance on logs and let their imaginations run wild with nature play.

With the move towards nature play to encourage children’s fitness and development, nature play elements have been installed at a variety of local parks and reserves in recent years.

These include Civic Park (Modbury), Golden Fields (Golden Grove), Dalaston Reserve (Modbury), Beckman Reserve (Highbury) and Spring Crescent (Banksia Park). All also have traditional playground equipment, such as swings and slides.

A nature playground is on the way for Greenwith’s John Eichner Memorial Reserve by early April this year.

It will have stepping and balance logs, stone steppers, teepee frames and a rope bridge.

Council will invest more than $700,000 on upgrading playgrounds this financial year. All upgrades are scheduled to be completed by early April this year.

Visit our website for details on where these upgrades will take place and to find a playground near you.

Life’s a gardenWith the cooler weather conditions about to set in, autumn is a great time of year to start your own vegetable garden.

Vegetable gardening provides a range of benefits, including outdoor exercise, plus the opportunity to enjoy nutrient-dense, great-tasting vegetables picked straight from your garden.

Home-grown vegetables can also be produced with fewer chemicals than commercial crops and you’ll enjoy cooking them all the more because you grew them.

You don’t need a large backyard to grow vegetables. Pots or raised beds can produce a surprising quantity of vegetables. Involving your children in gardening may even entice them to eat a vegetable or two.

Vegetables to plant in April or May:

Spinach A cool-weather crop that’s great in salads or blanched.

Snow peas Plant seeds in autumn to enjoy crisp snow peas in spring. Water at sowing and then avoid watering until shoots peep through the soil to prevent the seeds rotting.

RadishesIf you want a quick crop, you can’t go past radishes. Within six weeks you’ll be harvesting. Great in salads or eat them on their own with a little salt and pepper.

Garlic Sow your cloves (pointy end up) for harvest of beautiful bulbs in November.

Kale Easy to grow and nutritious. Even if you’re not a fan, it’s a great food for chickens.

Broccoli and cauliflowerWatch seedlings closely for caterpillars. Pick off or cover to prevent damage.

Beetroot Easy to grow from seed. Thin out as they grow. Thinned-out seedlings can be used in salads.

Carrots Plant in friable soil without too much fertiliser to prevent distorted growth. Keep the tiny seeds moist.

Growing connectionsMonika Fiebig isn’t afraid to seek help when it comes to improving her business, Monika’s Organics, a certified organics fruit and vegetable farm and wholesaler.

Having established the Golden Grove-based business more than 20 years ago with her son Daniel, Monika is a strong advocate of networking events and workshops.

“Every event I’ve been to has contributed to our success,” said Monika, who has attended numerous workshops and events organised by Polaris Business and Innovation Centre.

As well as growing its own produce,

Monika’s Organics deals with about 60 growers and suppliers across Australia.

It supplies to Coles and Woolworths and a number of independent supermarkets in SA, and has made strong inroads into interstate supermarket trade.

Solar panels on Council’s Service Centre at Golden Grove.

Tapping into solar energyThe City of Tea Tree Gully is set to save about $50,000 in electricity costs annually, thanks to the recent installation of new solar-power systems on two key Council buildings.

About $160,000 has been invested in installing the systems, and the expected savings should pay for that investment in a little over three years.

A 100 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system has been installed at the Council’s Service Centre at Golden Grove, the base for outdoor workforce operations.

A 30 kW solar system has also been installed at Highbury’s Turramurra Recreation Centre.

These solar panels will also reduce Council CO₂ emissions by 141 tonnes annually.

Unlike conventional electricity, solar produces no harmful emissions.

Feed pizza boxes to your green bin

All used pizza boxes need to go into your green organics bin, as food and oil can’t be separated from cardboard in the recycling process.

And in the unlikely event there’s any unwanted or stale pizza left in the box, it can also go in the green bin along with any serviettes and paper towels.

A pizza box can even be used to line the bottom of your green bin to prevent food and garden organics from sticking to the bin.

Following collection of your green bin contents by our trucks, our contractor Jeffries processes the waste, including pizza boxes, into compost in just eight weeks.

Ehsan Farooque, of Vista Pizza, has joined a Council trial to educate people on pizza box recycling.

“I’m happy to help educate people on putting pizza boxes in the green bin. We make up to 500 pizzas a week and

there are so many other pizza shops in the area,” said Ehsan.

Five other shops are also handing out education brochures on pizza box recycling with pizza orders.

Please contact us if you’re a pizza shop owner wanting to join the trial.

What else to put in your green bin

• Food scraps, e.g. fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood and eggshells

• Cardboard burger boxes

• Tea bags and coffee grounds

• Tissues, paper towels and paper serviettes

• Shredded paper and cardboard

• Nail clippings and hair

• Pet waste – loose or wrapped in newspaper

• Garden waste, e.g. lawn clippings, small branches and weeds

Jen and Hayley were part of a workshop to make items to help with the SA bushfire effort.

Local animal welfare groups are receiving much-needed support through a new Council youth initiative called the Giving Back program.

From the beginning of Term 1, 15 students aged from 14 to 20 have worked closely with local animal welfare groups to find practical and creative ways to help them, plus gain an understanding of the important work carried out by these organisations.

Council youth development coordinator Carly Didcote, who is overseeing the program, said Giving Back was a “way for young people to give back to their community by helping spread meaningful happiness”.

She hopes the program will have a ripple effect through the wider community.

Within weeks of the Term 1 program starting, as a response to the bushfires, participants created handpainted PVC tubes to store

gum-tree branches for koalas in care. And prior to the program starting, a number of participants joined in a workshop to assist animals injured in the bushfires. They sewed wraps for bats and pouches for wallaby joeys.

They also made protein balls and thank-you cards for CFS volunteers.

Applications for the Terms 2, 3 and 4 Giving Back program are now open on our website.

Some of us find it hard to come to grips with basic technology. Perhaps you’ve been lost for words watching a toddler swipe a touchscreen, or a teenager engaged in rapid-fire texts or social media exchanges.

But help is available – Tea Tree Gully Library offers free classes and one-on-one sessions to help people keep up to date with technology, even if you’ve never turned on a computer before.

There’s not much they don’t cover. Ever-popular topics including Windows 10, iPads and smartphones feature in monthly classes. Classes on up-to-the-minute tech like Netflix, Instagram and LinkedIn are also available.

A volunteer team member will sit with you and teach you to use the device, software or app in the way you need. They’ll help you set up the settings you want, rather than the default ones you’ll never use.

Or if you prefer a more social style of learning, and you’ve got a little more time on your hands, why not consider joining the Thursday and Friday computer groups.

Ken Randell of Modbury (pictured right) helps out with the Thursday Computer Group.

“I’ve assisted a range of people with all sorts of skills, people who could hardly speak English, people who had no other choice but to learn to use a computer to apply for a job or speak to relatives overseas.

“The Thursday group is a wonderful place to exchange information and keep your mind active,” said Ken.

The computer groups meet in the library’s Community Learning Centre on Thursdays, 10.30am–1pm, and on Fridays, noon–3pm. To make a one-on-one appointment with a volunteer, call 8397 7333 or ask us on your next visit to the library.

Becoming tech savvy

The last three months have tested us as a wider community with devastating bushfires affecting large parts of the state and nation. In these difficult times, it was humbling to see large numbers of the Tea Tree Gully community come together to support those in need.

Many in our community worked on the frontline, through their direct involvement with organisations including the CFS, SES, ADF, MFS, SAPOL, SAAS and many others.

Residents have also put their hands up to help, raising much-needed funds for bushfire relief, supporting programs that help those who have lost homes and property, as well as our native wildlife. Your spirit, generosity and service are greatly appreciated.

At a local level, this time of year has provided us with several wonderful events and activities. Our Civic Park Carols continued to bring joy, attracting record crowds.

Waterworld has once again provided us with relief on hot summer days.

We hope you had a great start to the new year!

The effect of bushfires, both locally in SA and around the country, will be felt for a long time.

Our thoughts go out to all who have been impacted. Devastation to the environment, wildlife, local businesses and tourism will also take time to recover from.

We wish to particularly thank Tea Tree Gully residents who have helped face these challenges – from emergency services, to Defence, Council staff, local churches, businesses and others who have opened their doors and their hearts.

We are now well into our budget deliberations for 2020–2021. This process decides most of our capital works for the coming year – as well as the setting of Council rates. As always, we are striving to achieve the best possible outcome, but please be sure to have your say.

Please contact us if we can help with any issue or query.

Turramurra Recreation Centre was opened by Housing SA as a temporary emergency relief centre from 20 December 2019 to 5 January 2020 during the bushfires.

Housing SA was complimentary about the facility and its suitability for their requirements.

A number of City of Tea Tree Gully staff were active on the fire ground as CFS volunteers during the Cudlee Creek fire.

For bushfire safety information, visit cfs.sa.gov.au and you can download the new Alert SA app available at alert.sa.gov.au.

To report a fallen tree or branch that’s occurred on Council land, please contact Council on 8397 7444 or customerservice@cttg.sa.gov.au. Council will remove the tree or branch and an arborist will check the tree in the case of a fallen branch.

A water fountain with dog bowl has been installed at Tea Tree Gully Memorial Oval and a new dog waste bag dispenser at Gunda Reserve.

It’s pleasing to see progress and completion of several new footpaths, particularly on streets previously without any. We’re delighted to see the Settlement receive $200,000 in landscaping upgrades in response to resident requests at street-corner meetings.

It’s been heart-warming to see individuals, families, community groups and local businesses offering support to those affected by bushfires, particularly with such devastating effects so close to home in the Adelaide Hills. The sense of community is incredible and inspiring.

We recently held street-corner meetings in the area and will hold more in the coming months. If you would like us to hold a meeting near you, please get in touch.

On a personal note, Lucas and his wife Chloe recently welcomed a baby daughter, Charlotte. While Lucas took some time off, he’s now back on board.

Cr Brett RankineWhile Golden Grove residents welcome the upgrade to Golden Grove Road, at no time were residents consulted on the removal of over 180 trees.

Residents understood and accepted that some trees would need to be cleared, but are now feeling misled and betrayed.

The available road reserve along Golden Grove Road provides ample space for the required works, without unnecessarily removing trees that are so far from the road’s edge that they sit behind the Stobie poles.

Surely the road could have been built and many of the historic trees saved.

Cr Bernie KeaneMany thanks to Gabby D’Aloia and our Service Centre team for sealing the Golden Fields car park.

The 124 parking spaces will improve traffic flow for both South Australian District Netball Association patrons and Golden Fields visitors.

The car park lighting and a new vehicular access and exit onto The Golden Way will further improve the amenities of the area.

Works included construction of kerbs, gutters, stormwater drainage and two pedestrian crossing areas. Well done!
