DISTRICT COUNCIL OF STREAKY BAY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S
REPORT SEPTEMBER 2004
1.0 LOCAL GOVERNEMNT FINANCE AUTHORITY – ELECTIONS
Council is required to vote for two persons from the seven nominations to fill vacant
positions on the Local Government Finance Authority Board of Trustees.
The nominations are:
Chris COLLINS (Councillor, City of Burnside)
Michael HARBISON (Lord Mayor of Adelaide)
Peter HOLT (Councillor, City of Holdfast Bay)
Alan OAKES (Councillor, City of Onkaparinga)
John SANDERSON (Councillor, City of Mitcham)
Bert TAYLOR (Councillor, Corp of the City of Adelaide)
Raelene TELFER (Councillor, City of Marion)
Cr John Sanderson and Cr Bert Taylor are sitting members.
2.0 COASTAL TOUR
The Mayor has been speaking with Alan Payne regarding a request from persons
interested in the coast along Corvisaart Bay, Sceale Bay, Searcy Bay and Baird Bay with
the aim being to improve relations with Council and to discuss future management of the
area.
I believe this is a significant step in the right direction although a similar meeting with
adjoining coastal landowners should also be undertaken in the near future.
People involved in the bus tour on Friday 17 September are:
• David Letch, Michele Rast, Bob Minnican (Friends of Sceale Bay)
• Alan Payne (Baird Bay Ocean Eco-Tours)
• Rob Tucker (Manager, Coast Protection Branch, DEH)
• Graeme Byron (Manager, Coast & Marine Conservation Branch, DEH)
• Ross Belcher (Regional Conservator, DEH)
• David Armstrong (Head Ranger, Venus Bay Conservation Park)
• Marcus Walters (Western Eyre Peninsula Natural Resource Management
Coordinator) may attend
All Councillors are urged to also be involved in the visit. Senior Council Staff will be
available to attend. The suggested itinerary starts at the Council Chambers at 9.30am
with an expected finish around 4.30pm following a tour of the coast.
I will arrange for a sandwich lunch for all those on the tour so please let me know at the
meeting if you are able to attend.

3.0 CARAVAN PARK
Attached is a copy of a letter from a very happy Sydney couple who recently stayed at
the Caravan Park in Ensuite Cabin No 17.
Simon passed it on to me and he was pretty pleased to get this type of positive feedback.
4.0 GRAZING LICENCE (EX SEC 144 HD RIPON)
Allan and Leon Williams have had a licence to graze Sec 144 Hd Ripon (land not used in
the Blancheport Rise division) on an annual basis for a $200 fee. They have asked for
another 12 months extension of the licence on the same terms. Does Council wish to
grant this extension and at what licence fee if you do? Grazing of the land will assist with
keeping the growth down which will help fire prevention measures.
5.0 EPLGA REVIEW COMMITTEE
I attended the first meeting of the committee in Port Lincoln on 2 September.
Good discussion occurred and I raised the issues surrounding the need to look at all
Eyre Peninsula groups with a connection to Local Government (as raised at our last
Council Meeting).
This may well be controversial (EPLGA being the overarching body on Eyre Peninsula for
Local Government, regional development and tourism) it is the type of thinking that is
required to transform the current situation.
Vance Thomas has advised that preliminary discussions with Eyre Regional
Development Board and Tourism Eyre Peninsula Executive Officers has been positive.
The Committee will be seeking support from the EPLGA meeting on 24 September for
the direction in which we are heading and the suggested time frames.

MATTERS IN CONFIDENCE.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S
LATE REPORT SEPTEMBER 2004
1.0 SKATE PARK
The Skate Park Committee have been actively seeking additional sponsorship for their
proposed facility due to the costings being more than originally anticipated.

Registrations of Interest to carry out the works only attracted one - Ricky Sargent, a local
contractor who has a real interest in the skate park. The Works Manager and EDAM
have discussed the design aspects of the facility and Peter can provide you with an
update.
Sandy Desira must be commended for her commitment to the project and for her
perseverance in chasing the extra funding required. A copy of her fundraising efforts is
attached as is the quote from Rick Sargent.
The expected materials cost will be $71,197 which includes GST of $6472 plus labour of
$34,000 meaning a $98,725 after GST has been claimed. There maybe some savings in
materials as they have been priced through retail hardware prices. Site preparation will
be done as an in-kind contribution by Council. At this stage the Skate Park Committee
has raised $90,042, which includes the Sport & Recreation grant of $27,000 and Council
budget allocation of $45,000. There is a shortfall of $8,725 which Sandy has assured me
they will continue to try and find. However, I don’t believe this project should be delayed
and would suggest Council agree to begin construction as soon as possible.
2.0 ACTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Council approved my annual leave for the period 20 th September to 1 st October 2004. In
the absence of the Chief Executive Officer a suitable person must be appointed by the
Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the Council (Section 102(b) of the Local
Government Act) to act in the office.
I’ve had discussions with the Mayor, the Works Manager and Corporate Services
Manager and would recommend the Peter Irvine be appointed as Acting Chief Executive
Officer for the period 20 th September to 1 st October 2004, both dates inclusive.
The recommendation is made in consideration of the long experience Peter has had in
Local Government and the short time that Fiona has been with Council

LATE LATE REPORT SEPTEMBER 2004

In accordance with the Chief Executive Officer’s Contract, Remuneration and
Employment Package (vi) (c) a performance bonus of 2.75% is recommended by the
Panel and to be made available from 1 October 2004. The bonus does not form part of
normal salary and was based on assessed performance over the previous 12 months.

I would like to thank the Panel for their professional approach to the appraisal which was
constructive and beneficial to both parties.

2.0 REZONING AND PROPPSED DEVELOPMENT
D&J WILLIAMS
General Comments
As Councillors are aware the amended Development Plan for District Council of Streaky
Bay is at its last stages of completion.
This Plan Amendment Report (PAR) process has taken a considerable time not to
mention the expense.
It would not be beneficial for Council to slow this process by trying to accommodate this
development proposal.
As Stewart Payne has said there are really only two viable options available to Council,
should they be of the opinion that this proposal has substantial merit.

Option (1): would be trying to identify this proposal in conjunction with the proposed
Coastal PAR. This may be rejected by other players as it really doesn’t relate to coastal
issues.
Option (2): would be to commence the Section 30process and then proceed the PAR
process. This process can only be commenced by Council and not the developer.
I am seeking Councils directions on how they wish to deal with this proposal.
3.0 PLAN AMENDMENT REPORT
I am currently reading the proposed development plan for verification purposes to
determine that it reflects Councils decision.
Upon completion of the verification I shall instruct Connell Wagner to place the document
before the Minister for approval.
I am seeking Councils consent for obtaining interim development control form the
Governor once the Minister has accepted the find document.
4.0 FAREWELL
I would like to take this opportunity to say farewell from my position as Councils
Environmental Development Assessment Manager.
The years that I have been in this position have been absolutely fantastic even taking in
account those times when the proverbial hit the fan.
A special thankyou for Councillors Wharff and Cr Gunn whom were on the Council when
I first applied all those years ago and it goes without saying to all those other members of
Council whom I have had the pleasure to work with.
To John and Peter in the past we have some differences but nothing stood in our way to
work together as a good team which created friendship between us. The administration
crew, they have been great, many thanks for their support and the conviviality in which
we have worked for all those years. To Kevin and his outside gang, there couldn’t of
been a greater bunch of blokes to work with. Oops and Ladies to.
In short, on behalf of Brenda, my family and myself I wish everybody and their families
the very best in health and have a very good and safe future.
Cheers
Joss, Brenda and Family.

proceeding with survey to be completed prior to the Council meeting. Dare Sutton Clark
will design the crossing as required by Transport SA and liaise with the Department to
ensure all legal traffic control requirements are adhered to. I cannot put a starting time to
this project because of the above but needless to say it will be pushed along to enable
completion at the earliest possible time.
5.0 JETTY PLATFORM
Timber has been ordered to replace every second girder and all decking to the jetty
platform and it is hoped materials will arrive by mid October. Work will commence
immediately after the Co-Opera weekend starting on Friday, October 22 nd and being held

Attached to this report appendix “A” is a reply to Councils request of some months ago to
clear vegetation on road reserves shown on the map for both movement of machinery,
vehicles and fire access.
I need Council approval to proceed with clearance proposed in the correspondence from
the Native vegetation Council.

1.0 RURAL TRANSACTION CENTRE
The RTC Steering Committee has met twice, on August 25 th and September 8 th . Both
meetings were very productive considering the last Meeting, prior to that was in April
2003. Fiona Boxer (CSM) and I met with Jenny Guidera on Friday September 2 nd and
have started the process of negotiating an Agreement between the Grocke family and
Council, This is a positive step toward the proposed housing of the seashell collection in

the RTC building. The previous Tuesday, Fiona, Tracy May from the Committee and I
visited the collection with Jenny, and it is truly a beautiful collection. At Wednesday
nights Meeting motions were moved to implement the Outreach Centres at Wirrulla and
Poochera, and a toilet site was selected, with the structural details left open for future
discussion. An ‘Alternate’ plan, which I have been working on for some time in liaise with
Joss Heinen (EDAM), Jim Lange (General Builder), John Rumbelow (CEO) ,Paula
Hartwig (Tourism Eyre Peninsula, Fiona Boxer (CSM) and in consultation with the
Committee can be implemented, if the proposed seashell collection project is brought to
fruition. Re-quoting on site and building renovation estimates can than occur. The RTC
Steering Committee can be commended on making positive inroads, on this major
Project. Justine Sampson, Rural Transaction Support Office, with the Flinders Regional
Area Consultative Committee will meet with Fiona and myself on Friday 10 th September
2004 to discuss progress.
2.0 DCSB STREAKS AHEAD COMMITTEE
The Streaks Ahead Committee had an interesting Meeting on Tuesday 7 th September,
2004, where Simon Wilkinson, the Streaky Bay Foreshore Tourist Park Manager, gave
an insightful presentation on his thoughts on Tourism in Streaky Bay and surrounding
districts. This generated further solid discussion of The Streaky Bay Region Tourism
Strategy & Business Plan Review Report of 5 th May 2003. As a result, the committee
have asked Streaky Bay Tourist Promotions Inc. in consultation with Simon to conduct a
Survey, with a view to finding out “what the tourist really wants” when visiting us as a
destination. A Familiar proposal was also adopted, whereby community groups,
businesses, and youth will be targeted to partake in tours of Attractions and Scenic
Drives within our district, with a view to making us “tourist friendly”. This is a positive
initiative and any person from the community can partake, learning about our tourist
potential, so that they in turn can be equipped with that knowledge when interacting with
visitors.
The Streaks Ahead Co-Opera Sub-Committee is to meet for a second time on Thursday
16 th September, 2004 with a visit to the Jetty Platform Cutting, and the Institute hall,
which is the wet weather alternative site. Although a small Committee, the planning and
implementation of the Co-Opera performance is well advanced, and tickets will shortly be
on sale, with constant marketing and promotion of the event in the coming weeks.
3.0 YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The YAC Meeting held on Monday 16 th August at 6.30pm in the Council Chamber was
once again well attended, and Cr Schreiber also came along. Dale Ramsey will be
assisting the Committee if they proceed with the proposal to host a band on the jetty
platform the night following Co-Opera, Saturday October 23 rd , 2004. A decision will be
made at the Co-Opera Mask Making workshop which is scheduled for later this week,
pending the arrival of the art materials and masks. Amanda Brown, Pearl Harley and
Cara Braun will represent the YAC Committee and travel to Adelaide with Dale for the
YAC Annual forum for S.A. on October 12 th . The YAC Fest 04 is an opportunity for
participants to take part in the forum through:
• Displays, networking and showcasing

• Seminars, workshops and consultations
• Formal and informal information exchange
I am sure our representatives will return with some new skills which they can impart to
the other Committee Members.
4.0 ART EXHIBITIONS
The next Country Arts SA Exhibition scheduled for the Streaky Bay Supper Room Gallery
will arrive on October 1 st , 2004. On Wednesday September 8 th I assisted the Ceduna
Area School set up the Youth Art Exhibition in the Ceduna Memorial Hall Space. I will
open and attend this exhibition on Friday 10 th . In its fourth year, it has attracted 129
entries, and is living proof that our youth are a talented group of artists. Several entries
came from the Streaky Bay Area School and Council has contributed to sponsorship for
the event. Following this I will be assisting with three more exhibitions in Ceduna;
• The “Eyre Heads” Portrait Prize which runs throughout Oysterfest
• The Ceduna Area School Year 12 Exhibition, in early November
• Shrinking Violets Exhibition for emerging new artists, or people who normally do not see
themselves as an artist, in late November.
In the meantime a Wilderness Society photographic exhibition will be on show in our
Supper Room Studio Gallery.
ARTSUP will then host their annual local exhibition, from December 4 th -10 th 2004 which
is always a great celebration of our local talent.
In late December, Colleen Crowder will bring the copy of the Holy Shroud to the Gallery,
whilst CASA will present Deb Jones, “Similar Existence”, a breathtaking glass exhibition
at the same time. It is outstanding that both the Art spaces in Ceduna and Streaky Bay
are virtually booked solid right through to mid June 2005, and that the majority of these
exhibitions display local and Eyre Peninsula talents. I intend to keep our communities
fully informed through strong media exposure and mail-outs, so that we can attract
record numbers to these exhibitions.
5.0 MID WEST HEALTH COMMUNITY DRUG AND ALCOHOL FORUM OF STREAKY BAY
Zena Jones, Drug and Alcohol worker for Mid West Health facilitated a second Meeting
on Tuesday 24th August, 2004. I have since received a Draft Booklet titled “Alcohol,
Children and You” which has been mailed out for revision, amendment and
recommendations by all Members who have attended the forum. The next Meeting
scheduled for Tuesday September 21 st will then see an amended Draft discussed by the
forum. Once this process has been fully exhausted, it is intended that a mail-out will
occur within Streaky Bay and the surrounding district which is educational, factual, and
can be easily understood by all community members including our youth.
6.0 THE DISTRICT COUNCIL OF STREAKY BAY SUPPER ROOM AND INSTITUTE
MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
I have assisted the Committee to apply for funding from Community Benefit SA for a
grant of $35,000, following Councils commitment of $10,000 from the 2005/2006 budget,
toward Proposed Stage1a, namely toilets, of the Proposed Backstage Re-Development
Stage 1b. This is a positive collaborative effort by Council, the Committee, and the

community as a whole to seek funding for the internal toilets for the Hall. A further
$12,150 will be sought through a submission to Arts SA Cultural Facilities and Equipment
Grant which closes Friday September 10 th , 2004. I am impressed by the swag of Letters
of Support which I received in great haste for the first submission from community groups
and organisations. It seems we all agree that our lovely Hall is a vibrant viable
community cultural facility well worth utilising and preserving into the 21 st Century.
Thanks to all who contributed, and I am confident your efforts will be worthwhile.
Unfortunately, the submission for a Volunteer Small Equipment Grant for 85 Sebel
linkable chairs was unsuccessful. However another opportunity has presented itself in
the Foundation for Regional and Rural Renewal Grants Scheme for $5,000 which closes
on September 30 th , 2004.
A meeting of the Committee was held on Tuesday September 7 th 2004 at 6.00pm in the
Council Chambers. A motion was carried seeking Council approval for a further $7,000,
to renovate the Foyer. This space is in a very strategic position to attract visitors off the
Alfred Terrace footpath, and could be utilised by exhibitions and travelling businesses
alike. It would allow the opportunity to hold at least three concurrent events in the
Supper room and Hall venue, making it an exciting place to visit if it was fully utilised.
7.0 TOURISM EYRE PENINSULA EP REGIONAL TOURISM CONFERENCE AUGUST
2005
In conjunction with John Rumbelow, (CEO), I recently prepared a submission expressing
an interest for hosting this event in Streaky Bay. Council have since been notified that
the submission was successful, over Whyalla and Port Lincoln. TEP will co-ordinate the
Conference and I have been appointed as Tourism Officer to join the Working Party.
Streaky Bay will host the conference, and closer to the time assistance will be sought
from community volunteers, council and council staff to ensure that we give the 150
delegates an unforgettable stay in our town and district in August 2005. This is a great
opportunity to showcase our wealth of nature based tourist attractions, our tourist
resources and facilities and of course our hospitality.

Development
The Residence is still in development as we wait for flooring and kitchen materials to arrive. With
the approval for the development of the old Western Block, demolition of internal walls has
already commenced.
As we have had to commit to advertising for 2005 we have included “Group Dining Room” and
“Kids Entertainment Facilities” in all advertising for 2005. Our objective over the next three
months is to begin sourcing contact names and addresses for all Seniors and / or travel clubs to
enable us to target the distribution of advertising literature. We have no doubt that this new

development will even further extend the appeal of the Park and enable us to target a customer
group that we have been previously unable to attract.
In 2004 / 05 we have committed to new forms of Advertising including the South Australian
Accommodation Guide and The Eyre Highway publication. We have also committed to trial
some radio advertising with Roxby FM over the next 2 months.
