Please stay safe at home this Easter and school holidays. The Mayors of the Spencer Gulf Cities support Premier Steven Marshall’s plea for all South Australians to protect their health, and the health of others, by staying at home these holidays.
A great plug from Prof Ross Garnaut at the AICD energy and sustainability forum in Adelaide today - 'from SA's Mid North and Upper Spencer Gulf to Pt Lincoln - there's no other place in the world you can see such a wide range of renewable technologies'.

Thanks to Premier Marshall and Ministers Dan VHP and Stephan Knoll for a very productive meeting with USG Mayors today. Some great opportunities for the USG to help meet SA's growth target.
The Hon Dan VHP, Minister for Energy and Mining and strong advocate for the Stuart electorate and the USG - at 2019 Premier's Awards in energy and mining.

A great video from Whyalla City Council on the recycling of the old jetty steel through our operations - the very place in which it was manufactured in the 1970s!
Half the Councils in SA are coastal. All 34 are facing rapidly escalating challenges and resourcing pressures.
Jetties and marine infrastructure are so important to coastal communities and visitors, but local councils just don't have the money to fund the ongoing repairs on their own - need stronger support from other levels of govt
JETTY FEEDBACK
Residents in regional areas are being urged to provide feedback on the future of jetties and wharfs in regional South Australia. Local leaders say the structures need to be recognised for their economic and social value. @garthburley1
.@regionalaus discusses the opportunity to rethink what regional Australia will look like in the future and how we want to shape our country
Great article from RAI - busting the myths that there are no jobs in the country and regions are dying. The evidence is to the contrary.
Let's be ambitious on population
We need government policies that will maximise education and job opportunities to achieve a more balanced population growth across Australia.
