The Master Plan project for the Orroroo Recreation Grounds has commenced with a
Management Group and the Community Reference group meetings held on Tuesday 27th
January 2015.
The meetings were attended by representative of the Office of Recreation and Support, Mr
Brian Delaney and Mr Thomas Rossini, along with the consultant representatives from One
Eighty Sport & Leisure Solutions, Mr Mark Brand, Mr Brett Hill and Mr David Petruzzella.
The Community Reference Group meeting provided an opportunity for the respective
community groups to provide their thoughts and desires with regard to the
facilities required as part of the master planning process.
For information, the Community Representatives on Reference Group include:

For further clarification, the Master Plan project will achieve a future concept and strategy for
the redevelopment of the facilities at the Orroroo Oval and the inclusion of a new swimming
pool and associated facilities. The redevelopment will aim to provide facilities that can be
shared by the current users of the oval precinct along with the swimming club and provide the
Community with a facility that can be marketed to attract functions and events. It is recognised
that other community groups and clubs utilise other facilities within the Council area, and while
these groups and clubs are active, Council will continue to provide support.
In addition to the input of the represented organisation and the Community Reference Group,
the Council is inviting input from the Community via a Community Survey.

RM Williams Way Town Entrance and Rest Area
In relation to the town entrance project, the Council has resolved to perform the following works as originally
proposed to ensure the project is completed and the funding program requirements satisfied. These remaining
works include:
Revegetation of area
Pathway from Government Road to North Terrace with additional solar lighting
Township (Orroroo) Entrance Wall with lighting
Kangaroo Sculptures

In relation to a truck parking area, the Council is further investigating options as part of an audit of the existing
heavy vehicle bypass and suitable locations for the parking area to be located. Further details will be provided
when available.
Orroroo Road Safety Group – Injury and Death Markers on Roadsides
The Orroroo Road Safety Group has recently written to Council advising that the Motor Accident Commission has
resolved that no new markers will be placed on roadsides where death or injury has occurred and that existing
Markers will not be replaced.
The Council has supported the Orroroo Road Safety Group in the retention of the existing markers as the markers
do convey a strong message to all road users.
Elected Members (Councillors) Training
All Councillors, regardless of experience, are required to attend Mandatory training during the first twelve months
of each Council term. The training is required to update new and existing members of Councils on legislative
matters and requirements that affect the performance of their respective role. The training as stated is mandatory
as established in the Local Government Act Regulations and legislated by the Minister.
The training modules required to be completed are:
Module 1:
Module 2:
Module 3:
Module 4:
Introduction to Local Government
Legal Responsibilities and duties under the Local Government Act, including the role of the
Independent Commissioner Against Corruption, the Local Government Minister and the
Ombudsman, Code of Conduct
Council and Committee Meeting Procedures
Financial Management, Asset Management planning responsibilities
All Councillors recently attended an in house training session conducted by Michael Kelledy and Natasha Jones of
Kelledy Jones Lawyers which included an introduction and overview of Local Government and touched on the
various aspects of the required modules.
The training required provides for greater governance in the decision making and the role that Council plays with
respect to the community. It provides assistance and an assurance that Council, as an entity will be acting in the
best interest of the community while maintaining compliance with the legislative responsibilities that governs its
management and operations.

Council Audit Committee
Council’s Audit Committee convened its first meeting since the Council elections under the guidance of the
newly appointed independent Chairman Mr John Comrie.
Council and the community is very fortunate to have the services of John, who is very experienced and well
respected within the Local Government industry. John chairs a number of rural Council Audit Committees and has
previously held positions of the Director of the Office of Local Government, Executive Officer of the Local
Government Association and the Chief Executive Officer of the Onkaparinga Council. John has assisted numerous
Council’s within South Australia to establish sound financial management policies and procedures and sustainable
Long Term Finance Management Plans, which have provided benefits to their respective communities.
Chairman Kathie Bowman in the Chairman’s report to the recent Council meeting handed out praise to John for his
totally professional approach to his job as the Audit Committee Chairman.
Addison Court Lifestyle Unit 3 to be marketed for Sale
The Orroroo Lifestyle Advisory Committee met recently in relation to the management and operations of the
Addison Court Lifestyle Units, and in particular the marketing and sale of Unit 3.
Council has adopted the recommendation of the Committee to appoint Wardle Co. Real Estate to market the unit
on behalf of Council. The sale of the unit is important as it will see all 4 units finally occupied.
Though formal marketing has not yet commenced, if any member of the community is interested in the Unit,
enquiries can be made to the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Stephen Rufus at the Council Offices.
Development Applications and Building Permits
The Council has recently reviewed its policies in relation to the assessment of Development Applications and in
particular the issuing of Building permits, and the requirements for certain applications to be privately certified for
the issuing of building permits.
Council’s approach to Development Applications and Building Permits will be to only accept uncertified applications
for Class 1 (dwellings), Class 10 (sheds, carports, masts) and Class 7 and 8 (farm buildings for simple services such as
hay or machinery storage sheds with exemptions), and (at Council discretion) minor modifications of other class
buildings.
Note, that all other applications for Building Permits must be certified by a private certifier. To assist applicants
with this process, Council will provide a list of approved certifiers.
It is a good approach to discuss development applications with Council staff prior to lodgement to ensure that all
information is provided. Pleased note Development Application fees are required to be paid in full at time of
lodgement with the Council.
Dog Registration Fees Reviewed for 2015/2016 Year
As requested by the Dog and Cat Management Board, the Council has reviewed the dog registration fees to be
applied for the 2015/2016 financial year in line with CPI.
The following table displays the fees to be applied for 2015/2016 in comparison with the current fees. It should be
noted that the Minister has set the cap for full registration at $85.00. Fees applied by Council are well below this
level.

Support for Star Club Field Officer Program – Mid North Continuation
Council has supported the continued funding for the Star Club Field Officer Program and it’s renegotiated with
Sport Recreation Development Inclusion Program via the Office for Recreation and Sport.
The Star Club Field Officer program is partnered with the Office for Recreation & Sport, Port Pirie Regional
Council, Northern Areas Council, District Council of Mount Remarkable, District Council of Orroroo Carrieton and
District Council of Peterborough.
The program primarily funds a Field Officer that assists Clubs within the region with various activities from
ensuring that Club’s operate effectively and meet all relevant obligations to ensuring that programs are in place
for the inclusion of participants. Clubs within the Council area have benefited from the Field Officer Program,
which in turn provides a satisfactory sense from Council’s perspective that the Clubs continue to operate at a
high level.
Orroroo and Carrieton Swimming Pools
It is great to see the increase of patrons using the Orroroo and Carrieton Swimming Pools, what a fantastic way
to cool off in this recent heat wave.
Just a reminder that you must be over 10 years of age to attend the Swimming Pools without adult supervision.
If you are under 10, you MUST have a person over 18 years of age to supervise. WHS Regulations stipulate pool
staff are not employed to be responsible for specific patrons, but have an overall supervisory role.
The proposed date to close both Orroroo and Carrieton Swimming Pools is Saturday
21 March depending on the weather, we will keep you updated.

BROONS eCombi ROLLER
KEEPING THE SOUTHERN FLINDERS OPEN TO TOURISTS.
So many of Australia’s iconic tourist destinations are found off the beaten track adding to the workload of
regional councils charged with the responsibility for year round access along well worn gravel roads.
Compaction is essential during maintenance grading to extend the life of the pavement and Broons has
the answer with their proven eCombi Roller.
Situated in South Australia's Southern Flinders Ranges, the District Council of Orroroo Carrieton has their
work cut out keeping up with maintenance grading. As the tourist
season winds down harvest takes over so their unsealed roads take a
year long pounding but with Broons eCombi roller now part of their
maintenance grading, things are about to get easier.
"Much of the local road network is sheeted with good gravel but they
can be subject to erosion during heavy winter rains if not compacted
after maintenance grading. By towing Broons' eCombi roller behind the
grader, Council is able to improve the road surface, reduce grading
cycles and increase the efficiency of the grader", says Broons Director, Stuart Bowes. "….. and it's for this
reason we designed the eCombi roller."
District Council of Orroroo/Carrieton Manager of Works, John Schmidt, has received positive feedback
from the Operators who can easily manoeuvre the eCombi
roller on either the steel drum or the smooth tread compactor
tyres. Changing between modes is a simple one step
operation from the cab keeping the Operator safe and saving
on time.
Unlike self-powered rollers, the eCombi roller is easily towed
between jobs along the sealed highway meaning quicker
response times for emergency maintenance, an important
factor when the world is at your doorstep and tourist dollars
are so vital to regional communities.
Broons experienced technical staff can be contacted on (08)
8268 1988 or [email protected] for further information and
advice on the eCombi machine or download a brochure now http://www.broons.com/ecombi/

Gibb’s Garage
Year 10 Community
Projects
In 1947/1948 the Late Murray Gibb commenced doing
mechanical repairs under the big old pepper trees that stood
behind the house that he built in the main street of Orroroo
alongside of what was to become his Motor Garage.
Over the years the Gibb Family have employed and trained
many people.
During the early 1950’s 3 of his brothers joined him in this
venture. At this stage Murray was doing mechanical work as
well as assembling and selling Austin Cars from England.
Murray and Nina’s other son Peter started his apprenticeship
within the business and was also made a Partner a few
months before his death.
The business was now trading as Gibb Bros and the
Chamberlain Tractor Franchise was added.
Prior to the 1981/82 drought the business employed up to 15
staff members most of whom have gone on to bigger and
better things with the knowledge, experience and training
offered by the Gibb family.
Geoff Gibb started working within the family business with his
Father and Uncles in 1965, following the departure of Lindsay

was changed to Gibbs Garage.
of his Father.
The Golden Fleece fuel agency was added and Gibb Bros
delivered fuel from Gladstone to Hawker.
One of Murray’s loves was old vehicles, motors etc. and now
that I have closed the business I hope to continue this love by
turning the original building into a Motor Display Home /
Museum, while working to restore our other vehicles.
Over the years other franchises were added with the
Chrysler/Dodge range being added in the early 1960’s. With
Mitsubishi buying Chrysler Australia and John Deere buying
Chamberlain the range grew, but with diminishing markets
and tougher franchisee demands both these franchises were
dropped.
Gibbs Garage and the heritage that Murray Gibb started will
continue to live on.
Murray worked hard and tirelessly all his life and supported
the people of not only Orroroo but the people of the North, it
is my hope that the legacy of Gibbs Garage may continue to
live on.
Over the years his brother’s slowly left to pursue their own
paths. Alton went to Victoria in the late 1950’s to start his
own garage. Bert and Helen went to Jamestown in the mid
1960’s and started their own Garage which their 3 sons now
run as Gibb and Sons.

Lindsay and Marlene left in 1975 and went to Adelaide, where

2015 Youth Parliament
Do you know any 15 to 24 year olds who want to express their views on issues that matter to them?
Applications are now open for the 2015 Youth Parliament program being held in Adelaide from 5 to 10 July.
Now in its 20th year, Youth Parliament gives young people a unique opportunity to learn about the political process and

CARRIETON NEWS
Happy New Year! Carrieton was very busy during the months of December and January with two well supported Vac Swim
Campaigns, a community Christmas tea, successful Rodeo, fires, beautiful weather and two inches of welcome rain. Welcome
back to all those who have been on holidays.
Sympathy
Our thoughts are with Karon Williams and her family on the recent passing of her mother Kay Barnes from Queensland.
Get Well
Best wishes to Terry Williams for a speedy recovery after a recent knee operation. Hope you are back to normal very soon.
Best wishes to anyone else on the sick list.
Congratulations to

Community Event of the Year
On Australia Day in 2015, the Orroroo Community Gym’s annual event, the Orroroo Half Marathon was awarded
Event of the Year.
The Orroroo Half Marathon is held annually in March and attracts over 100 competitors every year. For every
competitor, there are at least 3 family members or friends who attend with them to watch the race or take part in
the activities on the day. The participants are made up of both locals, regional and interstate visitors.
The Orroroo Half Marathon was started in 2008 by the Orroroo Gym Committee in an effort to engage the Orroroo
and districts communities in a healthy outdoor activity. The Orroroo Community Gym had been set up as part of a
community development program to increase physical activity and health and well-being by the Rural Health Team,
the Orroroo Hospital and the District Council of Orroroo Carrieton in 2006, and it was suggested that a fun run
would be a good family orientated way of achieving this whilst promoting the services of the gym.
The first five races started and finished at the Orroroo Golf Club, and whilst being happy and successful events,
were not in a position to support the local businesses due to their isolation from the main street.
Since the race has been able to start and finish in the main street precinct, (at the 2013 event) the whole
community has been able to benefit from the event.

The Orroroo Lions Club fire up the BBQ to offer breakfast and lunch for competitors and friends. Many
visitors have early morning starts to arrive in time for the race, so appreciate the hot food on arrival. This has
proved to be a good fundraiser for the Lions Club.

The Gumtree Café and Maggies are busy selling coffees and food all morning, and they and the Commercial
Hotel enjoy a busy Sunday lunch trade on the day.

The IGA and The Store on Second both see a steady stream of customers from both the locals and visitors. All
of these businesses are strong supporters of the Half Marathon, and it is pleasing we are able to support their
generosity with extra business.

In 2014 the Blacksmiths Chatter ran a Market which entertained visitors and the market benefitted from the
extra business generated by their presence.
Three different distance races are run; the 21 km run attracts serious runners and is becoming increasingly popular
with runners from the regions and interstate. Internet promotion for the Half Marathon has become very diverse on
at least 20 different running websites, and has attracted much enquiry in the last two races. The 21km walk is for
the serious walkers, and is the longest race time wise. The 10km run and walk is the most popular race, and is
always hotly contested by locals and visitors alike. The 5km run or walk is promoted as a family fun run, but is also a
popular run by students, adults or for pre-season training.
The Orroroo Community Gym Committee hope that the Orroroo Half Marathon
continues to promote both a professional distance race, and a family friendly fun
run with positive results for the Orroroo Community and we acknowledge that the
race would not be possible without the wonderful volunteers who assist us in many
ways during the course of the morning activities along with the District Council of
Orroroo Carrieton and the local businesses.

2014 Orroroo Christmas Pageant
After many hours of discussion and work, the 2014 Orroroo Christmas Pageant came together in a fantastic way
with so many floats that there was a traffic jam for the first time in Orroroo!
There were over 20 floats participating in the pageant this year which was very pleasing to see. John Mannion was
MC, and as always, he did a fantastic job and even demonstrated his interviewing skills as the odd car or camel
moved past.
Bud Stephenson was invited to judge the following categories, Best Float, Best Clown under 12 and Best Festive
Decorated Bike under 12.
It was no surprise that the Best Float award went to Sam Kuerschner and his Orroroo Resi Ski Club float, with the
assistance of a few like minded, skiing fans.
The Pageant was lacking in Clowns this year so the prize for Best Clown went to Charlotte Dunn who was
participating in the Carrieton Rodeo Float.
Jack Stone won the Best Dressed Bike award with his decorated stroller.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Pageant this year. It wouldn’t be able to happen if we didn’t have
community groups, members and families putting the time and effort into having a float. You all did a great job.
There was a great range of food stalls and plenty for the large crowd that gathered. Thank you to the clubs that
held a food stall, the Pageant wouldn’t be that same without this.
The treasure hunt was well received by everyone, and has been requested for this year’s Pageant.
The shops found the kids to have excellent manners, which was so good to see. The smiles on their faces were just
priceless.
We had catered for 100 children. There were about 70 children who joined in .
Thank you to all the businesses who donated the gifts for the kids and to John
Bryson and Scat who sat out the front of The Store giving out the bags.
We will see what we can come up with this Christmas.
We look forward to the 2015 Pageant and hope that we have the same
commitment from the clubs as it is a great event that always brings so much joy
to the people who attend.

Another successful Carrieton rodeo.
Orroroo-based singer/songwriter, Sam Gibb helped kick
-off the rodeo at 6.3o when he performed his song, ‘Our
Rodeo’, written with the help of dedicated Carrieton
Rodeo Club secretary, Glyn Shackleford. Sam was
followed by Adelaide-based cabaret artist, Sandi
McMenamin who was back at Carrieton after her success
with ‘the cowboys choir’ in 2013. Sandi performed her
new song, ‘The weather man’ (‘Hello, how are you
Robe’), a tribute to ABC Radio’s, Peter Goers, backed-up
with a medley of country songs, several with a Carrietoncharacters twist to them.
The 2014 grand entry saw the flag-bearing cowgirls
enter the arena followed by a lone horseman, rodeo pick
-up man, Mick Batchelor and his horse, in traditional
Australian Light Horse uniform and kit – dedicated to
the Carrieton and district horsemen and horses who
enlisted to serve in WWI, 100 years ago.
The National Anthem was performed, unaccompanied
by music, by three cowgirls, Jane Bussenchutt, Katie
Thyer and Alice Pellion, all with connections to Carrieton,
via Yorke Peninsula, mounted on horses courtesy of
well-known local horseman, Bill Willoughby from
Wepowie. This is believed to be an Australian rodeo first.
Rodeo Club president, Wayne Williams then introduced
Geoff Deans, Land Access and Community Access officer
with Oz Minerals, Prominent Hill, - major sponsor of the
Carrieton Rodeo – who opened the 2014 event, which
officially got under way at the roughstock end of the
arena, with the 2nd Division Bull Ride.
Out on the recently resurfaced arena, spectators were
treated to some amazing performances, by both horse
and rider, none better than Cherie O’Donoghue’s whizz
around the barrels in 17.844 seconds to collect the big
cheque in the Ladies Barrel Race. It had been some time
since the six-times Aust. All Round Champion Cowgirl
and partner Lee Kimber from Lockington, Vic. had made
the trip across to Carrieton, and they made the journey
worthwhile, with Lee grabbing first in the Steer
Wrestling (5.45 seconds) and Steer Roping (4.85 seconds). Cherie’s niece, Montana O’Donoghue-Kent, who
has been over to the High School Rodeo Finals in the U.S.
also took out first place in the Junior Barrel Race.
Team Roping’s current Australian No. 1-ranked Clancy
Middleton Jnr. (header) and Brodie Moss (heeler), came
down from Qld. to win the event. The pair have been
running hot since their win at Mount Isa back in August.
The Stockmans Buck Jump proved to be a popular
Queensland’s Owen Lee and David Worsfold, rated three
and four in Australian Bare Back standings, equaled top
scores of 81 in the Bare Back. Toby Collins had a good
ride on the Carrieton horse, Devil Man, to come in third.
The Saddle Bronc saw 11 riders saddle up to compete in
what is still considered to be the most skillful rodeo
roughstock event. David Stacey, from Strathalbyn chose
to take a re-ride, edging out his brother, 2011 Aust.
Saddle Bronc Champion, Glen Kent. This was the twotimes National Finalist’s second Saddle Bronc win at
Carrieton, having taken out the prize in 2010.
Bull Riding, often described as the toughest sport on
dirt, lived up to this reputation, and veteran rodeo judge,
Don Childs remarked at the end of the rodeo it was the
toughest line-up of bulls he seen in a long while. Tom
Willoughby had time to panic when his bull-rope
unraveled, with Tom seemingly pulling on it like a
bucking-rein (it was a good effort, but Panic Room soon
dispatched him). Roy Dunn, Number One in Aust.
standings, might have taken away the money from
Myrtleford, Vic. the previous night, but Little Bit Special
ejected him half way through the ride. With the bulls
winning so far, Toby Collins from Vic., who had been
scoring on bulls in the U.S., looked a chance on Ariat Pure
Evil, but after five seconds grounded him. Number Two
in Aust. Standings, Sam Champ (Qld.) was quickly
loosened up by Tuff ‘N Up. With three rides to go, Bryden
Atkins rode Evil Eye into first place with an 84 point win.
Atkins, who since his 2011 win on Kaos, now spends half
the year in the U.S. He looked to be the great hope in
2012, but missed Carrieton and the bulls won. In 2013 he
was back and Ariat Juice Box took him into first place.
David and Bryden were presented with trophies, donated by Dick White and KB Cabinets, Orroroo. While
Bryden was the only bull rider to make time, the
spectators were treated to an excellent display of bull
fighters, Byron O’Keefe and 2013 Bull Fighter of the Year,
Tom Wreford, who was back at his first Australian rodeo
in eight months, after working on the U.S. Rodeo Circuit,
including the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys
Association) rodeo’s.
During a break in the rodeo, the legendary Dick White
presented an award – the Dick White Services to Rodeo
in S.A. - to Murray Shackleford from Orroroo. Dick
thanked Murray for his contribution to rodeos over many
years.
Stock contractors for the rodeo were Ron Woodall and
Sons (bucking bulls and horses, including a few on loan
from ‘the Carrieton string’) from Lyons, Victoria. Daniel
Pearson from Kapunda supplied the time-event calves
and steers, delivered by Peter Kemp from Roseworthy.
The Carrieton Club also supplied some bucking horses.
Judges were Don Childs and Adrian Sclanders

Carrieton Rodeo
Ideal weather conditions and big entries, including
some of Australia’s best cowboys and cowgirls, drew a
crowd of almost 3,000 people to the 62nd annual Oz
Minerals Carrieton Rodeo on 27 December 2014. Due to
the large number of time-event entries, the rodeo kicked
off with a ‘slack’ at 4.15 p.m. In rodeo terms this occurs
when there are more competitors entered than there
are slots for them to compete. As arena announcer
Charlie Clancy explained to the crowd, scores and times
posted during slack count just like those posted during
the rodeo proper.
feature this year, with Scott Bennett taking first place
prize money back to Yankalilla. However it was Joseph
‘Bebo’ Bartel, the young German backpacker, (whose
mother is a horse-breaker in Germany) who secured
third place and won the hearts of the crowd with a good
ride.

Have you thought about Fox Control?
Did you know?
Foxes breed once a year in late winter/early spring. Breeding
females wean about four cubs. Between summer and autumn
young foxes disperse to find new territories and may move
up to 30km away from their dens.
About a third of their diet is wildlife, a third pest animals and
a third livestock. In uncontrolled areas, foxes have been
shown to cause lamb losses of 10-30%. Under extreme
conditions, predation on lambs can be as high as 50%.
Autumn is an ideal time to lay 1080 baits as foxes are mobile and hungry. 1080 is a
naturally occurring substance that is highly toxic to foxes and dogs. There is no
antidote available for 1080. Directions must be followed carefully.

Invest in Fox Control on your property
You will achieve optimum results by baiting twice a year, in Autumn and in Spring.
Baits should be replaced until the take is reduced.
Biennial baiting takes advantage of the fox life-cycle to keep numbers low all year and
reduce livestock damage at key times.
The second ideal time for baiting is in early spring when vixens are breeding and need
more food. Baiting at this time
not only removes adult foxes
but can also remove the next
generation, preventing

THE PROBUS CLUB OF ORROROO
®
& DISTRICTS
The January meeting was attended by 36 members with 11 members sending apologies. We had a
chance to meet our new Police Officer, Paul Velthuizen, who has moved from Whyalla and has had 13
years experience in the force. He plans to be here for at least 2 years and is keen to maintain the
community policing spirit.
Guest Speakers
Arthur and Jan Polden shared with us their recent 24 day cruise around the Mediterranean Sea in
September. Leaving from Venice they were able to make 15 short day trips into many cities along the
coast line. With video clips we were able to see the ancient ruins of the first Olympic games, the old
buildings going back before the birth of Christ. To see their romantic adventure on a gondola with
another couple, also some idea of the magnificent buildings in the Vatican along with the amazing
leaning Tower of Pisa. We were also given some glimpses of the ship and some of the entertainment
that they were able to enjoy.
Dawn Sims gave a vote of thanks on behalf of Probus.

ORROROO COMMUNITY CHURCH
For most people the Christmas holiday break is over, most of the major Summer sporting events have
finished and it is time to get back into routine to prepare for another year before us. February is the
month where most organizations begin holding meetings again and groups plan their yearly programs.
It is good to have a break, to not be tied down by regular weekly meetings but recharge the batteries,
because when something becomes a chore or a burden it is hard to give 100% enthusiasm to that
position and be as effective as you could be.
Communities such as ours only become great places to live if people are willing to become involved in
the activities and services that make up the facilities of our community. Like so many communities
many groups in our area are struggling to fill positions of leadership and it falls back on those few
faithful people who have been part of the group for many years. Many say, “I would like to be involved
but I am too busy to fit it in at present” As a community we need to be careful that our busyness
doesn’t mean the closure of many of the services and groups that make our community a great place
to live. Taking a paraphrase from President John F Kennedy, “ Do not ask what my community can do
for me, but rather what can I do for my community?”
God bless, John Cozens
