Flowers in Light Square, birthplace of Marion
A delegation from the Marion Historic Village have presented to Council. Then my motion was supported unanimously for flowering plants and signage in Light Square to make this special place a tourist destination
A new winch for Cosgrove Hall
The old winch failed and Council was urged by me to replace this with a safer mechanised winch for Austral Volley Ball and Special Olympics to use.
Mitchell Park Scoreboard gets water and electricity
By being at Mitchell Park Sports and Community meetings I was able to get water piping and electricity connections which mean so much to the football, cricket and rugby teams playing there.
Connecting Clovelly Park to Flinders Medical and University
It is expected that Flinders Drive will extend over the Darlington Expressway down to Sturt Road, with stoplights to allow movement into Birch Crescent. Not only are there opportunities for cycling and walking connections to Flinders Medical and Flinders University but also there will be allowance made for light rail extension from Tonsley station on into Flinders University.
New lighting and running track at Mitchell Park.
The Mitchell Park Sports and Community Centre now has lights on its oval that now allow sports practices of its football and rugby teams of an evening. The running and walking track around the perimeter has been installed under a State Grant. The new track will be a popular feature for nearby residents.
