Reduction in road funding The Federal Government has removed the Supplementary Local Road Fund which was introduced in the early 2000’s to even up the distribution of local road funding at a national level. South Australian Local Government manages 11% of the nation’s local road network. South Australia has 7.2% of the nation’s population, but only receives 5.5% of the Local Road Grant Funding. The financial loss to the District Council of Robe is $195,120 over the next four years. Why don’t SA communities deserve the same Federal support as in other States? That is the question left in the minds of SA Council Members and officers as they digest the outcome of the 2014 Federal Budget. The axing of a key equity measure, the $18 million Supplementary Local Road Fund, shocked most Councils and LGA officials. It will mean local roads in every other State/Territory will be funded at hundreds of dollars per kilometer more than in SA. The LGA Board has expressed dismay at the outcome and has authorized the development of a strategy to recover a fair share of funding for SA. “It’s the Government’s right, with Parliament’s support, to reduce Government spending as it sees fit. However we are genuinely shocked that Government has knowingly applied a cut that only affects South Australia and it now funds our local roads at a lower level than any other State”, LGA President David O’Loughlin said. Other changes to the budget appear to impact more fairly across Australia, including a freeze on the growth of Financial Assistance Grants which will mean a loss of about $924m in expected growth and mooted changes to Federal assistance to the States in relation to pensioner concessions on Council rates. Welcome to Nick Brown Council welcomes Mr Nick Brown to Councils staff taking up the position of Deputy Chief Executive. Nick comes to Robe with a wealth of experience in rural and regional Councils plus extensive experience in waste management and Nick’s appointment will strengthen Councils ability to meet its legislative compliance requirements and provide efficient and effective service to our community. CCOWS are shivering with the change in weather. But, we seem to be able to cope with change, we even find it exhilarating. CCOWS staff has changes of children, working colleagues, physical sites… each of their working days. Yet they manage to very quickly establish trusting relationships with the children in their care. It’s amazing that sometimes we may only see a child on one day a week, but after three visits they are comfortable with being with many children in a strange place, and doing different things than they have experienced at home. We all know that when we are made welcome, acknowledged, assisted, share smiles and laughter …it goes a long way to reassuring us, making us feel comfortable and letting us feel special. At a meeting last week, I jokingly said that we hired people according to the size of their laps. That’s because it is a frequent sight in the mornings to see children having a sit with a member of staff, until the warm welcome, conversation and sharing helps them find the confidence they need to face the day. It’s a lovely sight, and a privilege for staff to be able to assist children through that transition from home and family to being with their child care family. Robyn and the CCOWS team.

MAYOR’S REPORT & COUNCIL NEWS FROM THE MAYOR Deputy Chief Executive On behalf of Robe Council and the community, it is a pleasure to welcome Mr. Nick Brown to the administration team. Limestone Coast Partnership Brokers Chief Executive, Roger Sweetman and I recently attended the presentation and networking dinner held by the Partnership Brokers Team. This year’s presentation focused on work experience for school leavers. There was much to share on businesses engaging with the participants to ensure the experience instills knowledge across the complete profile of employees expected duties.

ROBE PRIMARY SCHOOL FETE The staff, students and parents of Robe Primary School would sincerely like to thank the following businesses (some from a long way from Robe), local tradesmen, and community organizations, for their extremely generous and amazing support of our 2014 Easter Fete. The incredible support received made our fete a huge success, actually the most successful ever, and resulted in us raising a massive amount of money; at this point of time very close to $15,000!! All of this money will be spent on buying resources that will support student learning and improve their learning environment. A huge thank you must be given to Stacey Wirth and Anne Legoe who organized and co-ordinated the incredibly hard working Parents and Friends ‘Fete Committee’ consisting of Lisa Enright, Kate Dutton, Lisa Falkner, Kerry Carroll, Karla Dew; these ladies also deserve a big thank you. I also extend a sincere thank you to all of the parents and friends (some past students) who worked extremely hard on the day; quite a few worked double or even triple shifts!! Thanks again everyone and we really hope that we receive the same level of support for our 2015 Easter Fete. The very much appreciated sponsors and supporters of the Robe Primary School Fete were:

presents the following EVENTS FOR WINTER AND SPRING 2014
My name is Jamie Aitken. The Robe Tourism Association has asked me to work with them to stage a number of events to run
through this winter and spring. These events are designed to offer exciting reasons to visit Robe and increase the visitation to
Robe over the “non – peak” tourism seasons. Robe is a unique seaside village combining natural beauty with great food,
wine, art, architecture as well as fabulous venues for music and various shows. WE plan to showcase these via the terrific
events below. Please note the following events are in the planning stages and some dates are yet to be confirmed.

“best of the land and sea banquet” with matching beers for
Saturday night and on Sunday a “hair of the dog” beer
tastings and a grazing lunch with matched winning beers from

The “Blessing of the Fleet” is a wonderful ceremony which is

banquet to be served at the harbour side, along with local
wines and music.

the opportunity for visitors to be shown the aircraft by the
pilots who will explain the ins and outs of their machines. The
line up of aircrafts will range from 80 year old Tiger moths and
Austers to Chinese fighter trainers. The event will run over 2
days, with catering available at the airfield for lunch on
Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. On Saturday night the
eateries of Robe will put on a special aviators dinner including
Loop the Loop soup, Barrel role beef, fluffy cloud puddings,
rocket fuel reds and high octane whites. On the Sunday

dishes. Warming winter menus will feature across Robe
eateries for the weekend. These dining events will also

makers as they present and match their wines to delicious
local regional winter dishes.
Simultaneously, we will be staging a variety of musical

POOL OPERATORS TRAINING COURSE – 12th and 13th AUGUST 2014
Robe Council is pleased to offer an opportunity for you and your staff to attend a Pool Operators Training Course to be
held in Naracoorte on Tuesday 12th
and Wednesday 13th
August 2014, 8.30am – 5pm, in the Naracoorte Town Hall,
Smith Street, Naracoorte.
Mount Gambier City Council is also hosting the same Pool Operators Training Course on 14th and 15th August 2014,
8.30am – 5pm, in the Leadlight Room at the Institute Building, Commercial Street, Mount Gambier (entry from Institute
alleyway in the Cave Gardens).
The two (2) day training course will assist pool operators in developing the required skills and knowledge to
competently maintain public swimming pools/spas. The training course covers a number of modules including pool
disinfection and chemical balance. Through prior arrangement with the provider (min 4 weeks before course), the first
day of the course is able to be completed externally, to limit the effect of staff absence on small businesses. The current
fee is $455 for the two (2) days and must be paid at least one (1) week prior to the course being held. The payment is to
be made direct to the provider, Aquatics Information.
A minimum number of five (5) participants are required for the course to be held in the South East. If the required
minimum number of participant’s payments is not received by the provider within the timeframe, the course maybe
cancelled. Further information can be found at www.aquaticsinformation.com.au The two (2) day training course is
suitable for the induction of new staff members: including those employees who may undertake pool maintenance
periodically (e.g. when staff on leave). The training would also benefit existing pool maintenance staff seeking to refresh
their skills and knowledge.
Please note that the first training day will include an onsite pool inspection and you will need to provide your own
transport to the venue. I encourage you and your staff to take up this local training opportunity. Should you require any
further information please do not hesitate to contact me on 0427 330 933, or Shane Ince at Aquatics Information during
business hours on 0402 409 495.
