HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN AND BUDGET 2019-2020
Most people are surprised when the learn how much Councils actually do.
Imagine your town without street lighting, rubbish collection, or the maintenance of footpaths and roads.
Imagine no playgrounds, parks, libraries, recreational facilities or community halls.
Who would provide health inspections at local restaurants or rescue stray animals? These are just a few of the many services that councils provide.
Council is consulting on its Annual Business Plan and budget.
This is an opportunity to have input into priorities for the Council area for the coming year (2019/2020).
It includes information relating to proposed activities, expenditure and income for the year.

Naracoorte is well known for having amoung the highest council rates in the State. How can there be such a big difference between Naracoorte and Wattle Range rates? Wattle Range is a similar council area as Naracoorte yet their rates are considerably cheaper. If my property, which is located in Naracoorte township, were in Millicent I would be paying $654 less per year in rates. A difference of 22%.
Probably brought about by unnecessary expenditure, eg duplicating the footpath on Stewart Tce and laying bitumen on streets off Smith street that only have a couple of houses in them.
Swings in playgrounds -- for Under 18 months kids
There are much safer swings on the market and used in public playgrounds including Redfern NSW than those currently in use in Naracoorte.
The local swing for under 18 months with the half circle black mould needs to be a full circle with 4 outlets for legs.
The strap used across on our swings in my opinion is a hazard as kids slide thru and it catches them under the chin.
Equipment in our parks must be the best and the safest - a good park is judged by the number of kids constantly using the park.
We are getting better with the introduction of shade.
However, the Sheep Streets Park still has no shade in spite of the requests back approx 4 years ago
Baby trampolines with the rubber ground surrounds as just installed by Unley Council in the Katharine St Park Fullarton just accessed of Wattle St. off Glen Osmond Road is such a great example when next you drive into Adelaide. Pictures are available.
The new swings are such that once the parent puts the kid in it he cannot get out.
Scrub - cold burn program around the whole town of Naracoorte
Who is watching out for our fire safety from bushfires?
What is the cool burn program around the town from scrub around the golf course to the park opposite Longridge. The Nature Park scrub should also be considered to further protect the north Primary School.
The undergrowth in the area is substantial.
During the heatwave new locals asked "where are the "fire refuge" areas"????
Has Council informed the community of our Disaster Plan and mailed it to the residents?
How prepared are we for a repeat of Ash Wednesday in the next few weeks????
McTernan Park was once a lovely area.
Neglected by council garden priorities there was a plan 4 years+ ago to sell half the area to residential .
The sale funds to maintain the Park.
Community consultation agreed and still the park is to be subdivided.
Please put this on the priority job as is a self funding project.
1.Master Plan for Naracoorte Sports Centre is long over due.
2. The whole area is tired and needs a revival with new demarcation lines between sports
3. Front entrance needs landscaping
4. Car park promised three years ago needs to happen at the front of basketball squash and Mens Shed areas
Removal of low bushes and new demarcation line overlooking hockey fields - a car park used mainly by basketball families
5. Tree removals of big trees brought down in October 2016 storm still lay on the ground.
All these and more is requiring council assistance as the clubs quite obviously do not have the volunteers to complete these tasks.
This area is visited by people from around the South East constantly and is begging for councils assistance.
Master Plan was mooted in 2011 and work was done for the Masters Games, but very little more has happened since.
