a surplus financial position, whilst continuing to provide a high level of services to our community.
It has an emphasis on footpath and kerb/gutter repair, as well as our core services of libraries, community centre programs, community programs, on street parking management, dog and cat management, and verge mowing.
We are also completing the $8.4 million redevelopment of Henley Square, which will refresh and revitalise one of our City’s most iconic places. If you haven’t been down in a while I’d urge you to go. Work on the project is scheduled to be completed in November, but traders are open throughout and would love to see you soon!
In this edition of Kaleidoscope you can read about some of
the playground and reserve upgrades the Council’s Open Spaces team have completed over the past year, and find out more about the Henley Community Garden.
There’s also information on our new youth space “The Brocas” on Woodville Road, as well as an update on some of the new digital facilities at our Civic Library. You will also find stories on parking safely, this year’s hard waste collections, and making smarter choices with kids’ drinks.
I spend a lot of time out and about in our City, meeting with residents, and am always encouraged by the feedback and great ideas I hear from Charles Sturt residents. I’d encourage all of you to be active in your community, and take the
opportunity to work with your Council to make this an even better place to live.
If you don’t know your ward councillors, reach out and introduce yourself! Their details are below. Our Council meetings, on the second and fourth Monday night of each month, are open to the public. I am always keen to hear feedback and ideas from the community – this is your City and this is your Council so have your say!

Seventeen Council staff, and one very helpful cattle dog(!), as well as a member of the Henley Community Garden, worked together to re-locate the garden from the former Pennington Junior Primary School site, to create an amazing space for growing and learning. They salvaged and gave new life to all the garden beds, the planters, some of the soil and plants, and even the gravel lining the pathways.
The staff all took one day out of typical Council business, using the Corporate Volunteering scheme, to work together with the tireless Pam Edwards from Pennington School R-7. Corporate Volunteering provides an opportunity for the staff of the City of Charles Sturt to give something extra back to the community in which we work.
The new garden truly is an outdoor classroom. Studies show absolutely any subject can be taught through gardening. Mathematics, biology and nutrition are the obvious ones, yet a garden can also be used to teach languages, geography, art, social studies and much more.
Gardens - and the plants that make up a garden - are
Bringing New Life to a School Garden
COMMUNITY
On a rainy day in late April, a collaboration between Council staff from the Field Services team and the Open Space, Recreation and Property team, together with school staff, created a new garden at the Pennington School R-7.
something we all rely on for our daily lives. Whether it be the fruit in your child’s lunchbox, the vegetables you have with your dinner, or the walk through the great outdoors, we are sustained by the plants in our lives.
Like the plants within them, gardens can, and do, make us stronger and healthier as a society. Gardens are a powerful tool for bringing people together, teaching us, and reminding us of, the interconnections we have, and how happiness is a product of us working together for a common goal.
The garden was officially launched by Mayor Angela Keneally on 8 August, where she unveiled a banner featuring the artwork created by the school’s students. There is a beautiful quote on the banner that reads “As the garden grows, so does the gardener”. We are sure this will be true for everyone involved in the garden - the students, the parents and carers, and the staff of Pennington School R-7.
Happy gardening Pennington School R-7!

New Park Upgrades
COMMUNITY
Charles Sturt is home to 160 playgrounds and 374 reserves and the Council’s Open Spaces team has been busy over the past 12 months updating and upgrading many of these. Some of the most exciting upgrades are pictured below, and all are well worth a visit if you haven’t seen them yet.

Community Care Update
The Council’s Community Care team provides a variety of services, including:• Community Transport• Home Maintenance• Home Modification• Cleaning Services• Shopping Assistance• Social Programs
These services are currently provided to approximately 2,500 of the City’s older residents with many of them enjoying regular services and visits. Community Care also manages a wonderful array of volunteer programs in areas such as gardening, Community Centres, and the Community Bus.
For information about accessing new services residents can visit the My Aged Care Website on myagedcare.gov.au or phone 1800 200 422.
Council staff are also available to help residents access the new system. If you are looking at accessing aged care services you can either phone the Council on 8408 1111 or drop into the Civic Centre on Woodville Road.
We look forward to continuing to support you to stay in your homes.
It also introduced the new My Aged Care website and telephone contact centre to help Australia’s older citizens navigate the aged care system.
Previously, Charles Sturt residents seeking HACC services for the first time could contact Council directly for an assessment.
With the introduction of the Commonwealth Home Support Program the application process has now changed. However, the services that Council provides to its community are unchanged.
Residents accessing the My Aged Care portal can also still choose the City of Charles Sturt as their preferred Service Provider.
On 1 July 2015 the Commonwealth Government transitioned from its HACC program into the new and improved Commonwealth Home Support Program.
Greening Our Community
On Sunday 26 July volunteers from Hindmarsh Greening and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association – as well as Charles Sturt field staff Ted Pyle and Ryan Cannin – gathered together in Josiah Mitton Reserve in Brompton to plant over 100 trees and shrubs as part of National Tree Day.
Participant and local resident Mandi Whitten said this year’s event was made particularly special through the first time involvement of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association.
“It was so inspiring to see such a variety of men, women, children and even dogs coming out to lend a hand to dig, plant, support and irrigate these new plantings,” Ms Whitten said.
“We then chatted over cups of tea and coffee, cake and biscuits
all brought along by the group to share.”
Ms Whitten said it was attending the 2013 National Tree Day event that first introduced her to the Hindmarsh Greening volunteers group .
“I had lived in the area since 2008 and often noted the abundance of street trees and community art in the neighbourhood,” Ms Whitten said.
“I spoke to the Chair of the Hindmarsh Greening group that day about becoming more involved in the community, and he suggested coming along on Sunday morning to the Brompton Community Garden.”
“I did so the following weekend, and was immediately welcomed and given tasks to do.”
“The people I met that morning and in the years since have become an integral part of my life. I’ve become a committee member and been involved in many of the group’s activities, including mosaic projects, tree plantings, stobie-pole paintings and fund-raisers for the community garden (where I now also have my own garden plot).”

Preparing for ZombiesOver previous issues of Kaleidoscope we have talked about hazards prevalent in South Australia, including earthquakes, floods, heatwaves, urban fire and storms. This article will focus on zombies, and how you can prepare to reduce any negative impact on you and your family.
In the words of the Secretary General of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction:
“We must, above all, shift from a culture of reaction to a culture of prevention. Prevention is not only more humane than cure; it is also much cheaper... Above all, let us not forget that disaster prevention is a moral imperative, no less than reducing the risks of war”.
Whilst Government is undertaking mitigation activities, you can also prepare and apply the three general principles standard across all natural hazards (including zombies):
1. Know the risks.2. Make a plan.3. Create an Emergency Kit.
1. Know the RisksZombies are undead creatures that have a hungering for human flesh. Although there are some records of zombies that eat vegetables.
Records show that tragedies generally arise from optimism, leading to slow response and hampering abilities to overcome threats, this might include a variety of natural disasters or hostile encounters with zombies.
2. Make a PlanA family plan will help you cope with the stress of emergencies.
You can customise your plan based on all hazards, and think about not only response but also your preparedness arrangements, while keeping these general principles in mind:
Consider whether there is anything you can do now to reduce the impact. For example, with a flood you might think about sandbags and insurance requirements, and with zombies you could think about maintaining the car half full with fuel for a quick getaway, and having emergency kits in your car, office and home;
Identify safe exits from your home and neighbourhood;
Choose a meeting place to re-unite with family;
Choose an out-of-area friend as a “check-in contact” for everyone to call. Carry their contact information with you;
Practice, practice, and practice so everyone knows your plan by heart; and
You should also think about how you will care for pets and help family members with mobility concerns or other disabilities.
Businesses might also like to think about putting a Business Continuity Plan in place, and consider requirements for
insuring for assets and possible loss of income to reduce the negative impact of any emergency.
3. Create an Emergency KitPersonal protective equipment (such as masks and gloves) as well as two way radios will come in handy in encountering any zombies. The Red Cross also suggests a general emergency kit should also include:• First Aid Kit and medications;• Battery-powered or hand
crank radio tuned to emergency broadcaster ABC Adelaide 891;
• Battery-powered or hand crank flashlight with extra batteries;
• Cell phone with chargers for contacting family and
checking www.alert.sa.gov.au (the website updated by emergency services on all hazards);
• Local maps and cash in small bills;
• At least a three day supply of food and water (including water for sanitation and to aid in stopping further infection).
• Seasonal clothing and footwear;
• Copies of personal documents;• Emergency contact
information; and• Baby and pet supplies (if
applicable).
An all-hazards Emergency Kit will ensure your family is more resilient to zombie outbreaks, as well as all other natural hazards.

Daylight Savings is Coming
Smart Movers at Charles Sturt
As more people head to the beach, it is imperative that dog owners take responsibility for their pets, and ensure that their dog remains on a leash between the hours of 10am and 8pm during the daylight savings period.
Outside of these times, dog owners can exercise their dog off lead but under effective control at all times. Effective Control means that the person in control of the dog must be able to demonstrate voice control of the
These include providing access to public transport, walk to work day, and active travel pledges.
Following on from these initiatives, Council recently acquired four electric bikes which staff can use for work related travel as another viable alternative to single-occupant car use or taxi use.
The pedelec (pedal electric) initiative is expected to generate environmental, health, financial and resource benefits through reducing use of fossil fuels, reducing wear and tear on fleet vehicles, freeing up availability of vehicles for multiple occupant
The beginning of daylight savings each year is when we start looking forward to warmer weather, getting out and about in our community, and in particular enjoying our beautiful beaches.
As part of its commitment to reducing greenhouse emissions, and encouraging a healthier, more active workforce, Charles Sturt has implemented a number of programs aimed at reducing staff reliance on Council vehicles and taxis.
dog, and it must be within close proximity at all times.
Please carry a waste bag with you at all times and pick up after your dog.
When your dog is off lead, it is important to be courteous of other beach users. Be mindful of your dog’s behaviour, as others may not welcome your dog’s attention.
For further information on Council’s laws regarding dogs please call 8408 1111.
travel, reducing the number of motor vehicles on the road, and increasing incidental physical activity for the bike user.
Another benefit is the improvement of our urban environments by reducing congestion, traffic accidents, road noise and the need for car parking spaces.
Staff have already thrown their support behind the program, so keep an eye out for them on the streets near you!
This project is supported by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure.

Parking Safely in Charles Sturt
No parking zone
Stopping at a bus stop
A no parking zone is generally used around schools for the purpose of dropping off or picking up passengers. Drivers are permitted to stop in a no parking area only for the immediate dropping off or picking up of passengers which must be completed within two minutes, and the driver must remain with the vehicle during this time.
When there are no parking control signs at each end of a bus stop, the Australian Road Rules do not permit vehicles to park within 20 metres of the approach of the stop, or park within 10 metres of the departure of the stop.
A driver must not stop within 10 metres of an intersection that is not controlled by traffic signals, regardless of whether or not the intersection is marked with a solid yellow line. Where traffic signals are installed, no stopping is prohibited within 20 meters.
Note: vehicles are permitted to park opposite a “T” intersection.
There are two types of bicycle lanes - full time bicycle lanes and part time bicycle lanes. When bicycle lanes are operational, vehicles are not permitted to stop in the lanes other than a public bus or taxi for the purposes of loading and unloading passengers. Above is an example of a part time bicycle lane where other parking controls also apply.
Vehicles are permitted to park up to the edge at both sides of the driveway and on the opposite side of the road directly across from the driveway. Vehicles are not permitted to park obstructing any part of the driveway or park on the driveway between the road and private property.
Parking in accordance with the Australian Road Rules is important to protect the safety of our community. If you’ve ever wondered exactly what these rules are, the following should provide some clarity about where and when you can park in our City.

The Digital Hub at the Civic Library in Woodville provides a central location for the community to learn more about technology, develop new skills, or just relax and enjoy a gaming session!
The Awareness Zone - an area within the Digital Hub space - is a place where children and adults alike can interact with a variety of technology and have fun at the same time. After school and during the school holidays this area is pumping with eager children utilising the high speed computers and honing their Minecraft skills!
The Awareness Zone includes an Apple Mac with a large screen for gaming and digital media, an Alienware computer for gaming, a Microsoft Surface for a truly unique interactive technology experience, and a Samsung Smart TV with an Xbox Kinect to
get people up and active.
It also includes a 3D printer. This amazing technology utilises heated plastics to build shapes from three dimensional designs - just about anything you could dream up could become a reality!
The Digital Hub also offers one on one tech assistance sessions where you can get help either on PCs, Macs, or on your personal tablet device. These 45 minute sessions with the Digital Hub’s highly skilled and welcoming staff will support you on your technology journey, and help you get the most from your equipment.
Group sessions are also held on a variety of topics such as Facebook, cyber safety, iPad, ebay, Gumtree, computer basics, intermediate computing and much more.
Due to the growing popularity of personal technology devices, the Digital Hub has expanded its free assistance sessions to the West Lakes Library. Run every Sunday afternoon between 2-4pm, these ‘Free Technology Help’ sessions are 15 minute, non-bookable drop ins for those who may be struggling with their new device.
To find out more, or book into a session please phone the Library on 8408 1333.
Exploring the Digital Hub
Why did you buy your tablet?Mainly for when we travel (we go caravanning). We wanted to use the tablet to look up the weather and tidal changes using the Willy Weather app. In our downtime we wanted to use the tablet to play some games and also use apps like Wikicamp.
What can you now do with the tablet that you couldn’t before?As I have gained in confidence, I can now use and navigate my tablet for emails whilst we are
travelling, searching the internet, and playing games.
What did you learn today?I learnt how to connect to the Public Library Wi-Fi, set up Android Device Manager (which is the equivalent of ‘Find my iPhone’) on my Samsung Tablet. I also had help to set up a security PIN so that it made my device more secure.
What do you like about Minecraft?
Innes 6: Because it’s fun and made out of blocks and there’s mobs!
Angus 12: It’s fun and good to express what you like to build - houses and railways!
Jet 6: I’m gonna grow up to be a builder and I’m learning to build stuff here!
James 7: You can build anything you like, lots of things...including electricity!
Lauren 12 and Marissa 10 (sisters): You can do anything and have animals!

It’s that time of the year again...
Charles Sturt provides an annual collection of hard waste to all residents within the City, with collection taking place ward by ward from mid-October through to late November.
Look out for the flyer in your letterbox reminding you when collection in your area is about to commence.
Items for collection must be placed out on the verge on the Saturday or Sunday prior to your collection week, and fines may be issued for waste placed out prior.
Each household is permitted to put out a maximum of 2 cubic metres of waste.
A few other handy tips to remember:• No items heavier than 50kg
or longer than 2 metres in length
• Leave plenty of room on the footpath for people to walk past
• Don’t place out any sharp or hazardous material
• Remove all doors from fridges and freezers
Do you need help moving your hard waste to the footpath?Elderly residents - or people with a permanent disability - may be eligible for free assistance. Requests should be made to Council at least a week prior to your collection date.
Contact Council on 8408 1111 to check your eligibility and make a request.
Charles Sturt is...composting
Annual Hard Waste Collection
Ideally, these food scraps should be placed into green organics bins, so they can be converted into productive compost material.
The audit showed that the average rubbish bin contains 2 kilograms of food scraps each week.
Over a year, that means 5,000 tonnes of food is sent to landfill, costing ratepayers an extra $350,000 a year for landfill disposal.
We’ve made the process of collecting food waste easier by providing residents with access to a free kitchen caddy and roll of compostable bags.
To grab your free kitchen caddy and bags vist the Council’s Civic Centre on Woodville Road.
Charles Sturt residents are doing a great job recycling their cans, bottles, paper, cardboard and plastics.
However, there is still room for improvement when it comes to green waste.
These were the two key findings from a recent audit of 300 randomly selected waste, recycling and organics bins in our City.
While very few recyclable items are making their way to landfill, significant amounts of food scraps are still being placed into rubbish bins.

first. It also improves the amenity of the area, and quality of life of those living there by calming the effects of vehicle traffic. It also encourages more residents to walk or cycle, increasing physical activity levels and community heatlh and wellbeing, and reducing air and noise pollution. Fortunately, data shows that a reduction in speed limit actually has a very minimal impact on overall travel time.
Before lowering the speed limit in a local neighbourhood, the Council asks everybody who lives, owns a property or operates a business in the area. If over 66% agree to the change, and other technical criteria are met, we request approval from the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure to lower the speed limit.

In collisions between vehicles and pedestrians, a pedestrian fatality is twice as likely to occur at 50 km/h as it is at 40 km/h.
Reducing driver speed improves safety for everyone by increasing the time drivers have to react and stop, reducing the severity and likelihood of collisions.
There are a number of 40 km/h area speed limits in the City of Charles Sturt, and we have plans to implement more, improving safety for our community.

Choosing Tap Water Over Sugary Drinks
However, many of these drinks contain a concerning amount of sugar, which adds extra calories to your diet without many of the nutritional benefits that come from real food.
Over recent years there has been an explosion in the
number and variety of sweet drinks on the market, many of which appear to offer health benefits. If you watch televised sports you’d be forgiven for thinking energy or sports drinks are needed to help kids perform at their best and keep fit. But just take a look how long it
can take the average 10 year old child to run off the calories from these drinks.*
The truth is that active kids can rehydrate and get plenty of electrolytes just through having plain tap water and healthy snacks such as fruit.
* Time taken to run or jog off calories was estimated by using the average height and weight of a 10 year old boy and girl based on the CDC Clinical Growth Charts of boys and girls aged 2-20 years. Calories were calculated using Burning Calories Calculator available at the BUPA website (http://www.bupa.com.au/health-and-wellness/tools-and-apps/tools-and-calculators/burning-calories)

and receive a $50 gift voucher for Big W, Bunnings or Kmart for each park reviewed. Applications close 31 October.
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your habits, and your choice of drinks is a great place to start. With the weather heating up it can be tempting to sip sweet drinks such as soft drinks, juices and flavoured waters.
