The Rural Property Addressing Project is a
joint State and Local Government initiative
aimed at providing all occupied rural
properties in South Australia with a
nationally consistent numbered address.
Many properties were
located on un-named roads,
requiring the property owner
to rely on local knowledge
and reference points among
e m e r g e n c y s e r v i c e s
personnel (and service
providers like vets and
livestock officers) to find their property.
Descriptions of property location are often
confusing leading to time loss and
frustration.
The Rural Property Addressing Project is
aimed at ending that confusion and
ambiguity and will bring our Council in line
with the remainder of the State.
Even if you currently have a rural areas
property identification directory (RAPID)
number or equivalent, you will still be issued
with a new numbered address.
The current RAPID numbers or equivalent:
are not unique
are not universally supported by councils
or emergency services
are not officially recognised as an address
are of little benefit for people who don’t
have access to topographical maps.
As part of the Rural Property Addressing
Project, the names of rural roads have been
reviewed. The aim is to ensure that all
formed public roads have a unique name. As
a result, there are many new road names and
a number of road names and/or their extent
have changed.
Property numbers are worked out based on
the distance from the start of the road to the
entrance of the property. The distance (in
metres) is divided by ten. Even numbers
are on the right and odd numbers are on the
left. For example: the entrance to a
property 5,080 metres from the start of the
road on the right hand side becomes number
508.
The State Government has:
provided standard communication,
process support and negotiations with
third parties
provide technical support to local councils
established the rural property address
register, rural road register and
maintenance systems.
Council will:
confirm rural road names and new
generated addresses
name any unnamed, occupied roads and
notify the State Government
communicate official addresses to
property owners.
Note: If you have a post box, post office,
private or locked bag that you have mail
delivered to you should continue to use it.
The cost to purchase and erect each sign
will be $35.00 and will be passed onto the
individual landowner.
Following the allocation of an address,
Council will notify the national address
database which is used by:
Australia Post
emergency services
Telstra
state and federal electoral commissions
electricity, gas and water authorities.

On Wednesday 25th September 2013 Southern
Flinders LiFE, a Healthy Communities Initiative
funded by the Commonwealth Government,
provided a free gardening workshop at Wilmington.
Twenty locals including five children attended the
workshop. Each participant received hands-on
assistance in setting up their very own garden box
with seedlings to take home.
Karen Montgomery, a passionate horticulturist,
presented the workshop. Karen provided an
informative introduction to the art of gardening.
The workshop demonstrated growing an edible garden does
not need to be complicated or intimidating.
“Excellent presentation, very informative; I learnt a lot
about what to look for in a fertiliser” said a local resident.
Southern Flinders LiFE in conjunction with OPAL ran
several free gardening workshops “From Little Things, Big
things Grow” across the Mount Remarkable, Port Pirie,
Northern Areas, Peterborough and Orroroo/Carrieton
Council regions.
The Healthy Communities Initiative focuses on promoting
healthy lifestyles and proactively improving the health and
wellbeing of community members. Southern Flinders
LiFE, in conjunction with OPAL, was pleased to be able to
offer the free gardening workshops to community members.
Southern Flinders LiFE, Initiative Coordinator Kate
Abraham said “the workshops were very well received with
approximately 300 community members across the five
Council regions of diverse ages and gender participating”.
Karen will be back in November to deliver the next series of
garden workshops at more locations across the region which
will be publicised in Council’s notice boards and in local
newspapers.

A NOTE OF THANKS SENT TO THE MAYOR
‘I am just sending you a quick email to acknowledge the
hard work that has been done around Port Germein in the
last couple of weeks by the District Council.
What a great difference it has made to the entrance of our
beautiful seaside town.
I have spoken with many residents and they too agree that it
has made a huge difference to the towns entrance. Now
upon entering Pt Germein you can tell that this community/
Council cares and has pride in Port Germein.
It is now much safer with the high grass being slashed
creating a good fire break around the road before the
summer season along with better visibility and it creates an
inviting entrance to locals and tourists visiting our area.
Please pass on my thanks for the effort taken to enhance
and maintain the beauty of Port Germein.

SA Health is reminding South Australians to take care
when preparing and handling food, following a recent
increase in Salmonella notifications.
Over the past two months SA Health has been notified of
35 cases of a particular strain of Salmonella (STm9), most
of which were likely to have been acquired in the home.
Dr Kevin Buckett, Director Public Health, SA Health, said
while a common source had not yet been identified,
salmonella is typically spread when people handle
contaminated or under cooked food, prompting the safety
reminder.
“Salmonella is quite a common infection but recently we
have seen higher than average numbers reported, with a
majority of them identified as the same strain which is
unusual,” Dr Buckett said.
“Salmonella bacteria are
naturally found in foods such
as raw eggs and poultry
products but can also easily
contaminate other foods such
as vegetables, through soil,
water or manure, or through
poor food handling practices in the kitchen.
“An investigation is currently underway to see if there is a
common link between these recent cases, with all patients
being interviewed about the foods they ate and where they
bought them.
“In the meantime we’re reminding people that good food
safety practices are the best way to protect you and your
family from food poisoning.
“It is important to make sure food is cooked thoroughly and
stored at appropriate temperatures
and always wash fruit and
vegetables before eating.
“Eggs should not be used if they
are cracked or dirty and they
should always be kept in the
fridge.
“You should also remember to
wash your hands before and after
handling food, after going to the
bathroom, keep cooked and
uncooked meat separate, and to
wipe down surfaces in the
kitchen as you go.”
Symptoms of Salmonella infection can develop between 12
to 72 hours after infection and include diarrhoea, fever and
abdominal cramps which can last for three to seven days.
Anyone displaying these symptoms is encouraged to see
their local doctor for an examination, or go to hospital if the
diarrhoea and dehydration are severe.
So far in 2013 there have been 743 cases of Salmonella
infection notified to SA Health, compared to 689 cases this
time last year.

FOOD SAFETY REMINDER FOLLOWING SALMONELLA INCREASE
The following extracts have been taken from Northern and
Yorke Natural Resources Management Board, Fact Sheet.
European rabbits are a major pest in Australia in both rural
and semi-urban areas. The poison commonly known as
1080 cannot be used in urban situations. An alternative
poison, pindone (marketed as Rabbait**) is available.
However it is important to be aware that it is difficult to
achieve high rates of effectiveness in township
environments where cover and alternatives feed sources are
readily available.
Rabbait** is a commercially available poison that can be
purchased from rural merchandise stores. It is sold on oats
or carrots, ready to apply. FOR SUCCESSFUL RESULTS
IT IS ESSENTIAL that rabbits are fed unpoisoned oats prior
to being fed on baited oats.
The Northern and Yorke Natural Resources Management
Board officers can provide technical advice to individuals
and groups. It is well-recognised that better long term
results are achieved when neighbours coordinate baiting.
Community groups can have an active role in coordinating
a rabbit control program.
Pindone Bait - Pindone’s mode
of action is by ‘thining the
blood’ - it is a first generation
anticoagulant - it blocks the liver
enzyme that recycles vitamin K -
stores of vitamin K and clotting factors are gradually
exhausted and the rabbit dies.
Three doses of pindone are needed to ensure vitamin K
reserves are depleted - and the optimum interval is between
three and six days - so rabbits will die from ten to twenty
days after the commencement of the program,
Risk to Dogs - It is recommended that dogs be prevented
from eating carcasses of rabbits that have been poisoned
with pindone. If a dog does become affected, vitamin K
can be administered by a vet as an effective antidote.

Top 10 Tips for going solar, plus 10 solar energy
myths busted: Clean Energy Council (CEC)
The CEC’s main role in Australia,
in addition to being a clean energy
advocacy group, is to ensure that
the solar panels, inverters, and
installation companies meet certain
minimum safety and quality
standards.
1. Be an informed consumer.
Research your options, be clear on your needs and
compare quotes. (Solar Choice offers free, instant,
impartial Solar Power Quote Comparisons from
installers across Australia – request a price and product
comparison now.)
2. Know your daily electricity consumption. By understanding what you use, you can assess how
much you would like your solar system to generate,
depending on your budget. Read more: What size solar
power system best suits your needs?
3. Get an estimate of how much energy your system
will generate.
Your contract should include an estimate of the average
daily output of your system in kilowatt-hours (based on
where you live and the size and position of your
system). Read more: How much power will my solar
system generate?
4. Check with your electricity retailer.
Never purchase a solar system without knowing what
rate you will be paid for the electricity you generate and
whether this will affect any hourly rates in your
electricity bill. Read more: Comparing electricity
prices.
5. Always use a Clean Energy Council Accredited
Installer.
You can check your installer is accredited at
www.solaraccreditation.com.au. (All solar PV
installers in the Solar Choice network have CEC
accreditation.)
6. Avoid signing up on the spot.
You should not feel pressured to sign a contract on the
spot. Take the time to understand up-front costs,
warranties and pay back of your solar PV system.
(Solar Choice is a free and impartial brokering and
advice service; we never pressure our customers to
install or push them towards any one installer or
product. Read more about Solar Choice’s services.)
7. Use products that meet Australian standards.
Your installer must provide proof the panels and
inverters meet the standards. You can also check the

The following is an extract from SA Power Networks -
Bushfires and Your Electrical Safety Fact Sheet.
People living in bushfire risk areas should be aware that
electricity supply may be interrupted due to a fault, damage
caused by fire, or we may turn off power in extreme
conditions to avoid a fire start. If you are considering
staying and fighting a fire you should have a contingency
for back-up power - such as a generator - that can be used
for pumping water or operating fire-fighting equipment
when mains power isn’t available.
Why turn off power on days of bushfire risk?
The 2009 Victorian bushfires once again showed that
electrical infrastructure can be involved in fire starts.
At SA Power Networks we do everything we can to
minimise the risk through careful preparations in the lead up
to summer. South Australian legislation (introduced after
the Ash Wednesday fires of 1983) enables SA Power
Networks to turn off power in extreme bushfire risk
situations to protect lives and property. Cutting power to
high-risk areas reduces the chances of a bushfire starting,
particularly if a tree branch, vegetation or flying debris
comes into contact with a powerline as a result of strong
winds.
We monitor the weather and fire conditions closely and any
decision to turn off power is taken in consultation with the
Country Fire Service (CFS).
What does SA Power Networks do to prevent bushfires?
Each year we undertake a planned program across the State
to prepare for summer and the bushfire season. We do this
to protect the safety of the public and the network and also
to ensure we can cope with the higher demand for
electricity in warmer months.
Preparations generally include vegetation clearance, aerial
and ground patrols of lines in high bushfire risk areas and
replacement and upgrading of infrastructure to meet
summer demand.
When it comes to bushfires, trees and powerlines can be a
dangerous mix. That’s why SA Power Networks is
required, by law, to trim trees to ensure there is a minimum
safe distance between trees and powerlines.
What preventative measures can I take to help?
One of the most obvious measures is to keep trees and other
vegetation clear of any private overhead powerlines on your
property. Private lines are any powerline on your property
that supply electricity to you and no one else and operates
at 19,000 volts or less. These lines run from SA Power
Networks’ distribution network your home and between
different buildings on your property, such as between your
house and shearing or machinery sheds.
Property owners and occupiers are responsible for ensuring
trees and other vegetation, except naturally occurring, non-
nurtured vegetation, are kept clear of private overhead
powerlines. This includes vegetation overhanging from a
neighbouring property. While tree trimming near
powerlines should be ongoing, the best solution is to avoid
planting inappropriate trees near powerlines and certainly
not directly underneath them.
For more information, including a list of suitable vegetation
for around powerlines, visit www.sapowernetworks.com.au
What should I do if I have to evacuate my property?
If a bushfire is approaching and you need to evacuate, if
you have time, you should turn off the main power switches
in your meter box before leaving. This will reduce the
likelihood of electrical equipment being damaged and
electrical wires short-circuiting or sparking.

bushfires and your electrical
safety, please contact SA Power
Networks on 13 12 61. For more

Service website at www.cfs.sa.gov.au

November - Asbestos Awareness Month
Remarkable Places Remarkable People Remarkable Lifestyles ....... Simply Remarkable
Asbestos Awareness Month aims to educate
Australians about the dangers of asbestos in and
around homes because Australia has one of the
highest rates of asbestos-related diseases in the world.
With asbestos-related diseases continuing to increase
among Australians as a direct result of exposure to asbestos
fibres during home renovations and maintenance, the
importance of raising awareness about the dangers of
asbestos and how best to manage it in and around homes,
cannot be overstated!
Many wrongly believe that ONLY fibro homes contain
asbestos. Asbestos products can most likely be found in
ANY Australian home built or renovated before 1987 even
brick, weatherboard, fibro and clad homes.
Asbestos can be found
under floor coverings
such as carpets,
linoleum and vinyl
tiles, behind wall and
floor tiles, in cement
floors, internal and
e x t e r n a l w a l l s ,
c e i l i n g s , e a ve s ,
garages, around hot
water pipes, fences ,
extensions to homes,
outdoor toilets, dog kennels,
chook yards and backyard
sheds it could be anywhere!
It’s vital that Australians
take the warnings seriously,
that they stop playing
renovation roulette and
protect themselves and their
families from exposure to
asbestos fibres during
r e n o v a t i o n s a n d
maintenance.
Australians need to think
smart, think safe, think
asbestosawareness.com.au - its not worth the risk!
What is Asbestos?
Until the mid-1980s, asbestos was widely used in a range of
home building materials. If your house was built or
renovated before 1987, it is likely you have asbestos in your
home. Asbestos is a naturally-occurring fibrous silicate
mineral. It was considered a versatile product, because it is
able to withstand heat, erosion and decay and has fire and
water resistant properties.
Homeowners need to know what asbestos is and what
precautions you must take if you are planning to renovate
or make repairs around your home, just in case you are
dealing with asbestos.
Removing asbestos is a dangerous and complicated process
best carried out by professionals who are licenced having
completed the required training. If you were to consider
removing a small amount of asbestos yourself, at the very
minimum you would need to meticulously follow ALL of
the steps described on this site in order to protect your
health and that of those around you.
It becomes a health risk when asbestos fibres are released
into the air and breathed in. Asbestos is described as either
"bonded" or "friable".
Bonded asbestos fibres are mixed into another material
which binds or bonds them within the material. Bonded
asbestos cannot be crumbled, pulverised or reduced to a
powder by hand pressure when dry.
Common uses for bonded asbestos in buildings include: flat
(fibro), corrugated (roofing) or compressed asbestos
cement sheets; water, drainage and flue pipes; and floor
tiles.
If fire, hail, or direct activities such as water blasting and
drilling damages bonded asbestos, it may become friable
asbestos material.
Friable asbestos material is any material that contains
asbestos and is in the form of a powder or can be crumbled,
pulverised or reduced to powder by hand pressure when
dry.
Friable asbestos was not commonly used in the home; it
was mainly used in industrial applications such as pipe
lagging, sprayed limpet and asbestos cloth and rope.
Friable asbestos can only be removed by a licenced
asbestos removalist with a friable asbestos licence.
While some people may ensure they follow the regulations
and safety requirements to remove small amounts of
asbestos themselves, we recommend retaining a licenced
asbestos removal professional who is equipped to protect
you and your family from the dangers of asbestos dust.
When working in and around the home or renovating, if in
doubt, assume you are dealing with asbestos and take every
precaution. The safest way to manage the removal of
asbestos is to hire a licenced asbestos removal contractor
Where asbestos fibres are friable (loose and not bonded
into building materials), only licenced friable asbestos
removalists are allowed to remove it.
If you do need to work with any material that may contain
asbestos, ensure you take all the necessary precautions to
protect yourself and minimise the release of dust or small
particles from the asbestos materials that may affect others
including children.
