24.01.2022 TUTTI - BRIGHTON The @tuttiarts studio has officially opened at the former St Teresas School site at Brighton. You can see how happy everyone is, just look at Graces beautiful smile here. Congratulations to Pat Rix, Andrew Downing and all of the students, parents, caregivers and volunteers who have made this move possible. The new premises are twice as big as the former at Galway House, Minda, but it is double storey and has no lift. Tutti is currently fundraising to be able to provide a fully inclusive facility. If you would like to donate a lift, time or money to building a lift then Tutti would love to hear from you. @holdfastbay @ Tutti Visual Arts Studio

23.01.2022 GLENELG BOWLING CLUB Last night I had the honour of declaring the 2020/ 21 pennant season of bowls open by presenting the club flag to Colin Davidson. It has taken a lot of work to get ready to be COVID safe for the season. Well done to Mark and all of the volunteers. Big congratulations to Rob Teague on being awarded the Mayors Trophy. Rob is a former President and current player who has spent this year (during the shut down) compiling 56 policies and governance documents. Massive job. Thank you to Rods proud wife for taking the photos. Have a great season @holdfastbay @ Glenelg Lawn Bowling Club

23.01.2022 SWARA Over the past years @holdfastbay @cityofmarion and @cityofonkaparinga have been working in collaboration to redevelop our waste facility to a national leading resource recovery location. Our jointly owned site down South operates 2 renewable power plants ( methane and solar) and is expanding to provide power to 2,400 homes. We are now looking to expand even bigger to build a plant that can sort plastics to a higher grade, concrete and glass to provide road base fo...r Councils, establishing a circular economy industry zone which will collaborate with local innovators and businesses to produce products from the recovered plastic, glass and paper and more. It is one of the most exciting projects in the state. We are delighted that @trevorevansmp and Nicolle Flint visited the site to see our vision first hand. We look forward to this helping to pivot our state economy to a circular one and benefitting our environment in the most profound ways. This is the future. @stephenpattersonmp @davidspeirsmp @corey_wingard_mp @scottmorrisonmp See more

20.01.2022 We are saddened by the news that former Brighton Mayor, Ian MacLeod, passed away last week. Mr MacLeod, who served as Brighton Mayor from 1989-1993, was born in... 1929 at Bindarra Hospital, which is where the Brighton Library sits today. He was first elected to Brighton Council in 1980, became Deputy Mayor in 1987 and then Mayor in 1989. He obtained his pilot's licence in 1951 and in the 1970s, was a member of the SA Volunteer Coastguard.

Our Coast Path is dotted with whimsical sculptures which I love. @holdfastbay Artist Matthew Turley

12.01.2022 SEACLIFF Great job by the friends of Pine Gully who have worked hard on campaigning for a path, tidying up and planting. It always amazes me that this little paradise is tucked away right behind the beach at Kingston Park / Seacliff. The new signage looks great. @holdfastbay

12.01.2022 GUINNESS WORLD RECORD HOLDERS! Congratulations to @sarahtinney and all of the Marilyns for achieving the Guinness World Record of the largest gathering of people dressed as Marilyn Monroe.

It was a huge effort by everyone, but especially all of those who live at and around Dunluce Castle. Photo credit: Sarah Tinney

08.01.2022 BRIGHTON Recently caught up with @steven_marshallmp to have a brief chat about our event season. The Holdfast team are currently reimagining how we can have Covid safe activations to bring some sense of fun for Summer and school holidays. We think its important for our community to have some scaled back events to come together. Stay tuned.

07.01.2022 KINGSTON PARK I am down at Kingston Park today scoping for the perfect spot to put a cafe. We have money in this years budget for a feasibility analysis and commencement of construction. Where would you like to sit and contemplate the beauty of our coast?( the old site is not an option as it is on a culturally significant site). Very keen to hear your thoughts , especially if you live in 5049. @holdfastbay #kingstonpark @davidspeirsmp @ Kingston Park, South Australia, Australia

03.01.2022 GLENELG The most important quarter of the year- Glenelg up by 2 goals in the final quarter. Need a win to make the finals!

03.01.2022 SPW Congratulations to Ms Helen Finlay on her commissioning as new principal at St Peter’s Woodlands. The formal service was conducted by the Most Reverend Archbishop Geoffrey Smith, Archbishop of Adelaide. The year sevens were fantastic in their role playing on what makes a good leader ( build people up not boss them around), the chapel choir were wonderful in their singing; the whole school felt joyful. Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a special day for @spwglenelg @holdfastbay

02.01.2022 THROW BACK THURSDAY For the history buffs, and especially The Brighton History Group. Brighton Beach on a summers day. You can see the twin pines of Kingston Park in the background. In the foreground is perhaps the @brightonseacliffyachtclub or the @brighton_slsc - what did you think? Thanks to Colin Rugless for giving me this photo. I am not sure if that is a Rugless who is walking down to the beach @brightoncentral @holdfastbay @southaustralianbeaches

02.01.2022 NEW YEARS EVE Incredibly disappointed that New Years Eve celebrations at both Glenelg and Brighton have had to be cancelled this year. I remember New Years Eve this year- they were difficult - our state was on fire and Kangaroo Island was being destroyed. We could never have imagined that a virus would stop the entire event for 2021. I promise that the next New Years Eve at Glenelg and Brighton will be a party like no other! @holdfastbay

01.01.2022 I have responded to community questions raised about the proposed redevelopment of a property on Sturt Road, Brighton. The site, which spans almost 9500 square metres, is also home to many regulated and significant trees.

01.01.2022 COAST FM It was good to see Dave Hearn face to face this morning for our monthly radio catch up. We talked about roller skating, the FOGO trial, the environment and all things @holdfastbay
