The group has made a considerable effort in developing and promoting the winter program. All the businesses benefit, and your support and input would be appreciated. Almost two years ago, 85 people came along to the formation meeting. The committee realises business operators are all busy, they do however, need to have your input to achieve shared goals and visions. Please show your support by attending the next meeting on Monday 20th April 2015, upstairs at the Cali. Please note this date is subject to change. Please contact Deb Mackey on 0401 803 137 to confirm this date. Minister Brock’s Visit Chief Executive, Roger Sweetman and I had the good fortune to meet personally with Minister Brock on the evening of Tuesday, 3rd of March. Of particular relevance was a detailed discussion on the status of health facilities in the town and the planning and funding of the required upgrades. Clean Up Australia A good number of people participated in the clean up at Long Beach, including Coast Care, Friends of Little Dip and Robe Surf Live Saving Group including Little Nippers and Robe families. It was noted the beach was cleaner than other years, which was very pleasing. The morning work was concluded by a sausage sizzle cooked by the Robe Lions Club volunteers. Well done to all participants. In Memorium The man who brought the modern up to date pharmacy to Robe has passed away. Peter Pope and his wife Louise built and operated the Robe Pharmacy in the mid 1980’s and operated until 1994. Peter passed away in Wentworth, NSW on 21st February 2015. His funeral service was held on Wednesday 4th March 2015 in Mt Gambier. Robe ANZAC Centenary Memorial To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of ANZAC Day, the Robe RSL Sub-branch, in partnership with District Council of Robe, is planning to erect a Memorial Wall within the existing Memorial precinct. The Wall will be surmounted by a bronzed slouch hat (as worn by the first ANZACs), and will provide a site for memorial plaques relating to conflicts post WW2. Although the project is being funded by the Sub-branch and the Council, there is a limit to those monies, and thus a limitation on the scope of the project. Accordingly, the Robe RSL Sub-branch is seeking public support, by way of donation, in order to provide sufficient funds to ensure that the end result is a memorial that truly reflects the spirit of our community. To make a donation (or for further information) please contact either of the undersigned. Stephen Phillips Peter Riseley Vice President Mayor Robe RSL Sub-branch DC Robe EASTER BIN COLLECTION Due to there being no collection on Good Friday (3rd April), all recycle bins will be collected on Thursday 2nd April.

Please put your bins out the night of Tuesday 7th April or by 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday 8th April.

For three months of the year, Robe becomes the second largest town in the South East and this places pressures on our waste management systems. Council, after conducting consultation with the waste services provider and our rental accommodation businesses, has decided to introduce additional recycling collections during the holiday period and the ability to deposit household waste at the transfer station during opening times for a fee of $3 per bag. Undergrounding power (PLEC) Council has adopted an undergrounding power policy which in brief, states that Council will assess requests for undergrounding power in accordance with the State Governments Power Lines Environment Committee (PLEC) guidelines which state that: Council will be trialing both new services in the upcoming summer holiday season. By allowing people to deposit household refuse at the waste transfer station, Council acknowledges that there will be the temptation for people to leave their bags at the gate outside the opening hours at their convenience to avoid paying the fee. If this practice occurs to the extent that it causes significant increase to Councils waste costs then the service will be withdrawn. Implementation of Councils street scaping proposals on previously funded projects will also be a factor in determining priority and consideration of funding applications for PLEC. The following illustrates the types of projects that will be considered for funding; In assessing whether or not an application should receive funding, PLEC will take into consideration the following in its assessment of the project; The size and characteristics of the community likely to benefit from the project, The significance of the area, or route, such as tourism, heritage or its symbolic value (e.g. gateway), Further publicity will be given to the changes to our current Other significant factors such as recognition of a waste management practices as the summer holiday period greater safety priority, the proximity to previous PLEC approaches. projects or if it is part of a staged development Waste management is one of Councils biggest single costs and these costs are directly recovered from the community, therefore if councils costs increase as a result of poor practices by the community, including our visitors, the increase will be directly passed on to the community. It is everyone’s responsibility to be responsible in relation to waste management to ensure our costs are keep to a minimum. Celebration of Centenary of the ANZAC Landing Council, in cooperation with the Robe RSL is upgrading the War Memorial precinct. The RSL have undertaken the repair of the War Memorial and Council are erecting a piece of sculpture to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli. The sculpture which is a brass slouch hat mounted on a granite plinth is the first part of what will be a project that includes additional paving and the erection of a wall of remembrance which will be completed in time for the commemoration of the end of World War One in 2018. Routes of high traffic volumes (major arterial roads), Areas of high tourism, heritage or amenity value, Routes of high symbolic value (e.g. gateway routes) Areas of concentrations of people (e.g. shopping centres, recreation areas, foreshore and coastal recreation areas) Major through routes in towns PLEC funding for normal residential streets will not be considered, however some residential areas may be an unavoidable component of a scheme. If property owners wish to underground the power in front of their properties and their request does not meet the PLEC guidelines, the project may commence if the property owners are prepared to pay for all the costs involved, both SA Power Networks and Councils. Maintenance of the Obelisk Council is in the process of investigating how it will go about repainting and undertaking minor maintenance on the Obelisk. As everyone will appreciate, the site is challenging and Council must ensure the health and safety of anyone who undertakes work on the structure, however these are The RSL have a significant day planned for ANZAC day on not insurmountable, they need to addressed and planned for. the 25th of April this year and the RSL and Council invite the community to attend the dawn service and join in the commemoration of this significant event in Australia history. 2 LIBRARY/VIC NEWS NEW BOOKS FOR FEBRUARY/MARCH 2015 ADULT FICTION: Navajo sunrise – Ethan Flagg Last Day in Paradise – Paul Green A Time to Remember – Anna Jacobs Storm Clouds – Bronwyn Parry Still Alice – Lisa Genova Gallipoli Street – Mary-Anne O’Connor The Road to Hope – Rachael Johns Mightier than the Sword - Jeffrey Archer 14th Deadly Sin - James Patterson The Painted Sky – Alice Champion The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy – Rachel Joyce Outside the Lines – Amy Hatvany If I Knew You were Going to the this Beautiful I Never Would Have Let You Go – Judy Chicural A Spool of Blue Thread – Anne Tyler Perfect – Rachel Joyce The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry – Rachel Joyce The Longest Ride – Nicholas Spark The American Lover – Rose Tremain Splinters of Light – Rachael Herron Wild Wood – Posie Graeme-Evans Emerald Springs – Fleur McDonald Rose River – Margareta Osborn The Last Dance – Fiona McIntosh Prodigal Son – Danielle Steel ADULT NON FICTION: Australia’s Natural Wonder…Eucalyptus Oil – Peter & Tegan Abbott The Wife Drought – Annabel Crabb Mini Mosaics… Twenty to make – Aimee Harman Tales from the Queen of the Desert – Gertrude Bell Paleo Cleanse – Camilla Carboni & Melissa Van Dover CHILDREN’S FICTION: Little Dinosaur Mix It Up – Henre Tullet My First Camping Book – Dominic Bliss Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-dot Bikini – Paul Vance & Lee Pockriss Frozen – Disney Movie Collection Trollz … All that Glitters & Best Friends for Life Extreme Monsters … The Blue Moon Effect Winx Club … Fire and Ice The Ant Bully Garfield …A Tail of Two Kitties Zoey 101 … The Curse of PCA, Back to Normal & Girls Vs Boys Stardust Stables – Free Spirit The Anti-Princess Club…Emily’s Tiara Trouble, Bella’s Backyard Bullies,Grace’s Dance Disaster & Chloe’s River Rescue – Samantha Turnbull The Five of Us – Quentin Blake Book One…Mission Titanic – Jude Watson Anzac Boys – Tony Bradman Horrid Henry’s Mother’s Day – Francesca Simon Cavemice … I’m a Scaredy-Mouse – Geronimo Stilton Libby the Writing Fairy – Daisy Meadows CHILDREN’S NON FICTION: 3D Dinosaurs of Australia How Weather Works … Eyes on the Sky The Complete Grimms Fairy Tales Scooby-Doo’s Laugh-Out-Loud Jokes The Visual Guide to Minecraft … Dig into Minecraft with this (parent-approved) guide full of tips, hints and projects CHILDREN’S DVD’S: The Tom and Jerry Show Scooby-Doo!...13 Spooky Tales for the Love of Snack We Bought a Zoo…Based on a True Story Diego Saves The World Fanboy and Chum Chum Sofia the First…The Enchanted Feast Postman Pat…Signed, Sealed & Delivered ADULT DVD’S: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Gone Girl We are always getting requests from Visitors and Locals for Baby Sitters… If you are interested in Baby Sitting or are already supplying the service could you please let us know and we will pass on your information.
