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

product list at www.solaraccreditation.com.au.

8. Check the conditions of product warranties and

work guarantees.

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.

For further information

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.
