25.01.2022 Due the recent Covid 19 outbreak I do not believe it would be sensible to continue with the community meeting I have arranged for Saturday the 21st of November, so I have postponed it until further notice. One of the main topics for this meeting was to be Curtis Road and I will be looking at other ways I can get this discussion started. Residents of Playford have had to wait to long for a solution to Curtis road, we can't stop. While it appears everyone agrees that the solut...ion involves dual lanes, no one has come up with a plan or been game enough to put their name to it. I have a plan and I am prepared to stand up and put my name to it. For those who expressed support in attending the meeting, thank you, I will provide an update shortly of the next steps.
24.01.2022 Curtis Road, does anyone care? City of Playford have been undertaking a massive public consultation process since July to assist council in developing councils Strategic Plan for the next 4 years. This process included involving over 1600 people across Playford. Of the 114 pages of responses that have been collected it would appear that the single biggest issue the People of Playford have , is Curtis Road. Those who live in the area would not be surprised by this in fact man...y have know this for over 10 years. However at least now we have a comprehensive consultation process which has clearly identified Curtis Road as Playford's number one issue we can get something started? Wrong - the result of all this public consultation is the draft Strategic Plan for 2020-2024 and on page 17 it states " What it's not - Solving all traffic congestion problems in the next four years, including the duplication of Curtis Road." During the next 28 days please take the time to visit City of Playford's website and have your say on the draft Strategic Plan. Lets make sure we are Putting Playford People First.
23.01.2022 Some clarification about my campaign for Mayor. While the election is not due for 2 years, I have started early as I want to take the time to get to know all areas of Playford and spread the word to as many people as possible that at the next election there will be another option for Mayor. I am not a current councillor, nor am I a member of any political party, I am just a ratepayer who has had enough of the lack of transparency and the waste of ratepayer’s money over the l...ast 10 years under the leadership of Mayor Glenn Docherty. I don’t receive any allowance to help with the cost of campaigning and any money that I am spending is my own. To assist in spreading the word I have had signage put on my own car, this even led to one person asking if I was following them around as they see my car everywhere. Well I live in the area, and while I do also work full time, I am often busy attending a range of local activities so there is a good chance you might see me on the road (Special thanks to Gadget Graphics for making it stand out). If you think that Playford needs a change then please help by sharing my page and posts where you can. Lets all put Playford People First.
13.01.2022 While residents understand the need for an upgrade to dual lanes is required for Curtis Road, the only plan the Mayor and council have is wait and hope for the state government to take over ownership of Curtis Road. What is needed is a plan, not hope.
12.01.2022 Nothing has changed. Front page story in today’s Advertiser calls on councils to Trim the Fat, City of Playford is listed as one of the worst offenders with over 100 senior staff receiving more than $100,000. I seem to remember a comprehensive review by Pricewaterhouse into Playford Council not long after Glenn Docherty became Mayor which identified there where high level efficiency opportunities within council to be gained. Following this report, we had a change of CEO an...d the Hemmerling/Docherty team was formed and we where told Playford would be the Next Great City. Now managers account for over 10% of City of Playford staff. If City of Playford was top heavy before, it must be about to fall over now.
03.01.2022 Was recently invited to the Munno Para Little Athletics Centre when they hosted a regional event. While the week started badly for the club with the theft of equipment, the community stepped up and helped showing how important community really is. On the day it was pleasing to see so many kids being active and you could see how much they enjoy it. The pride and passion for the club that the volunteers have for this club was obvious as soon as you speak to anyone involved. ... I am looking forward to working with the club in the future to ensure the kids continue to have what is needed to stay fit and active.
02.01.2022 So much for becoming "The next great city". Unfortunately Elizabeth has now claimed the title of the suburb with the highest crime rate in the metropolitan area. While this is a sad reflection on the area and we know areas of Playford have a number of challenges in front of them, but let's make sure we don't let a small minority drag everyone down. ... Playford is made up of some of the proudest people you could find anywhere and it's time to make real positive changes to Playford not empty promises of new office buildings and 4.5 star hotels, which just make Playford look like a joke. It's time to Put Playford People First and let's work together.
02.01.2022 Is this a suitable development for the "New CBD of the North" ? After Playford council spending over $30 million dollars developing the CBD area we get another burger joint and another service station. Maybe Docherty's CBD dream is just like a fast food burger, looks great on the add, but it looks nothing like the add when you unwrap it ?
