Your Say Yankalilla

The Community Services team are planning a new food/cooking Program and would love your help to develop the session ideas.

We would like to establish the level of community interest out there in relation to who it can be aimed at, the ideal times for running a program and what types of classes or sessions that you would like to attend.

The District Council of Yankalilla is writing a Community Development Action Plan that will guide projects and actions for the next 3 to 5 years.

This project provides Council the opportunity of harnessing creative ideas, thoughts and aspirations so that we can plan, prepare and budget for future community development focus, actions and programs.

Council plays an important role in building strong and vibrant communities. This Action Plan will act as a purposeful and collaborative partnership between Council and the community and its results would also inform the next version of Council’s Strategic Plan.

What ideas do you have for our community services?

How can we enrich our community? What should Council focus on?

We would love to hear your views and ideas.

This consultation is with regards to the how the the proposed new Cats By-law* is managed and the controls (rules) which must be followed by domestic cats owners with regards to how cats roam around the District.

We are currently seeking your feedback on when a cat is "wandering at large".

What does wandering at large mean? - this is when a cat is not under effective control by means of a physical restraintand is in a public or private place without the consent of the occupier.

What does effective control by means of a physical restraint mean? - within a cage or vehicle, on a chain/cord or leash that does not exceed 2 metres in length effectively being held by a person or tethered to a fixed object

* - consultation on the proposed Cat By-law will take place later this year.

Council invites your comment to balance the requirements of new mobile food vendor regulations, with the interests of existing fixed (bricks and mortar) food businesses and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Council must develop location rules prior to the new State Government mobile food vendor regulations coming into effect. We want to hear your views on how these mandatory location rules can best be applied to our communities. Continue reading

The Yankalilla Cemetery, situated on Inman Valley Road at Yankalilla is an historic site established in 1858. Comprising just over 4 hectares, many of the District's pioneers are remembered there and the historical value of the cemetery is valued by locals and visitors alike.

The draft Yankalilla Cemetery Management Plan sets out the physical details of the assets at the Cemetery, provides a reference to how the site has been used since its establishment and identifies how the cemetery is managed and maintained by Council.

As the Cemetery is considered a community asset we'd like your feedback on the proposed Yankalilla Cemetery Management Plan. Please take the time to review the document and provide your feedback.

Signage at gateway locations, township entrances and localities generates a sense of belonging to place and strengthens unity and pride within local communities. For travellers, thoughtful signage installations say much about the nature and character of a place and generates a strong sense of arrival and reassurance.

After successfully installing Gateway and Township signs at key locations over the last two years, Council, in its Annual Business Plan for 2017/18 has committed to rolling out Year 3 of this project to build on the suite of signs throughout the District.

In Year 3 we will produce well designed and positioned signage that reflect the unified vision of the developed Fleurieu Coast: Made by Nature place brand and we need your input.

Council is seeking feedback regarding its community transport services and its Community Bus.

Our current Community Bus is very old and we are keen to gain an insight to what expectations are, and suggestions are, for a community transport service in the future.

Feedback received will be collated and considered as part of our annual business planning process (and associated consultation) for 2018/19.

PLEASE NOTE - the community bus is NOT RELATED to the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) which is provided by Council (via three cars) for the transport of eligible residents to medical appointments.

The draft Final Structure Plan builds upon the District 30 Year Plan (adopted by Council in 2009 after an extensive engagement process with the community) and provides a long term perspective of how the towns of Yankalilla, Normanville and Carrickalinga might look and operate in the future, by updating and progressing the work previously done by Council and the Community in the 2009 District 30 Year Plan (Stage 1). The rate at which the towns change will depend on a number of factors but it is important that the community’s aspirations are expressed to serve as a guide for planning, investment and environmental management

The Plan incorporates feedback gathered during the public consultation process undertaken from October until December 2013 that resulted in 60 submissions being received, in addition to the contributions made at public forums and presentations during that period.

Council has placed the draft Final Structure Plan on consultation to encourage any further community contributions before finalising the report. CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE CONSULTATION PAGE
