25.01.2022 This is a great initiative "Keep the Change" I will be rounding up my money!!

21.01.2022 Our Kids Mental Health matters as well, if you or your kids are not coping please check out this great site or give the a ring

20.01.2022 Please share this is great news for Barossa

20.01.2022 Seeds of Hope will be in The Coop today for RU OK? Day. Come and say hello to the Team and grab some resources to use. We are in this together! Mental Health and Suicide Prevention is a community concern. #ruokday2020 #mentalhealth #itisokaytonotbeokay #TogetherWeCan

20.01.2022 UP-SKILL NOW! Would you like to work in the hospitality industry but need to gain some practical skills or refresh existing ones? We are currently recruiting individuals to upskill and increase your employability for hospitality positions within the Barossa region.

20.01.2022 What a great opportunity for the Valley, even though my dad may disown me!! #diehardcrowsfan https://www.facebook.com/180431028656452/posts/3513248102041378/?substory_index=0

19.01.2022 I think today was significant. First time Barossa council meeting was livestreamed from our homes via YouTube. Have a look at what we do. How our meetings work. What decisions are being made. This channel has all of our meetings. Take a peep and become more engaged with Local Government. I think it is great.

17.01.2022 Hi all, Please read this post carefully, hear the heart behind this emotive decision (please please know we genuinely struggled as well) remind yourself all Elected Members live in The Valley, most have children who swam or they themselves swam in the Nuri pool. Chamber (Staff and Elected Members) and myself personally have honestly grappled with this decision for over 2 years,. We HAVE spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands on upkeep on Nuri Pool over the pas...t years and do not want to spend YOUR money on infrastructure that will be destroyed in a flood zone in coming years. This is not good stewardship of community money...... we want to come up with a new plan!! We are eager for an exciting new Aquatic area, in a better place, that will not require the enormous upkeep that our 70 year old structure has (lifetime of these kinds of pools is 50 years maximum). Heartbreaking yes but balanced with practicality. We are listening to what you want, but please listen to our logic about the old area and pool....old pipes, leaking pool, unfix-able tiling, breaking pumps. All in a zone that is Flood prone. It is 70 years old! We want to honour the memory of the old and beautifully represent it in a memorial, but press towards a more practical solution. I would encourage you to read the minutes and watch the meeting online (see links in comments). See the struggle we have had. We are responsible for millions of dollars of your money, help us be wise and spend it on new infrastructure in a safe non flood prone zone. Write to me, petition the Council (see Link in comments) and let us know, but please do not think we have not agonised over this. Other councils would have closed it 10 plus years ago. In all sincerity, Serving you, Cathy

17.01.2022 I am absolutely thrilled to promote Barossa's Seeds of Hope Suicide Prevention Network. We have launched.

I am proud to be involved (Vice Chair and the Advertising officer ) within the network. We are all using our skills too make this happen. ... Look out for our "Are Your Mates Ok?" Brochure and our article in The Leader. And share and like our page!!! https://www.facebook.com/BarossaAndBeyondSuicidePreventionNetwork/

Marvelled at the talent of our own Councillor Boothby, friends Cathy, Daniel and Jess and loved the Future Barossa Artists the kindy kids (found Hunter's self portrait), so ma...ny stories so much joy. I encourage you to take a walk at night starting at the Art Gallery and down the main Street of Tanunda, try to find all of the 16 digital Artists who collaborated with shop owners, bringing Art to our lives in this interesting time.
