What’s coming to a mailbox near you in March? Voting papers, baby!

We know, we know – a whole 6 months away? Chill out.

But here’s the thing: if you’ve ever wondered who decides on your local roads and parks, libraries or how much say you have in your community, it’s your council. Yep, those decisions are made by people you can elect (or could, you know, if you actually vote).
Now’s the perfect time to start thinking about how you can shape the future of your community: How you ask?
• Stand for election: Got ideas to make our city better? Put your hand up! Anyone can stand (Aus citizen, over 18, enrolled to vote – boom, you’re in).
• Support a candidate: Know someone with the skills and smarts? Back them and help spread the word.
• Be a voter: Voting is your chance to weigh in on everything from potholes to climate action.
So sit back, get ready to learn more about why voting matters. We have much more to say. Find out more at bit.ly/CoB27CounElections

WINDBACK WEDNESDAY: Vansittart Place in Beaumont commemorates William Vansittart, a prominent South Australian pastoralist and horse breeder who played an important role in the early development of the area.

By 1850, Vansittart had established the first rooms of his Beaumont property, which would later become known as Tower House, one of Burnside’s most notable historic homes. In 1852 he was quoted in the Register as ‘a gallant rider, a good bushman and every inch a gentleman’. Tragically, Vansittart died young as a result of a horse-riding accident in 1855.

Today, Vansittart Place serves as a reminder of Beaumont’s early European settlement and the individuals who helped shape the landscape and history of the district.

Last year the City of Burnside launched an Advocacy Plan, which sets out the most pressing projects and priorities for which Council is seeking State and Federal support. The Advocacy Plan will drive Council’s efforts in influencing key decision-makers regarding funding, policy change, improved relationships and greater understanding of what is important to our city. It's through these efforts that Council will continue to meet the community's needs for years to come.

Let’s be honest, when most people think of councils, they think roads, rubbish and rates. Fair enough. We all want our bins emptied and potholes fixed. But local government is way more than that.

Burnside Council manages around $1 billion in assets. That’s billion, with a B.

It takes care of infrastructure, planning and development, regulatory and community services, economic development and much more to keep the community running. If you’ve used a playground or walked on a footpath lately, local government’s probably been involved. And when stuff hits the fan, like floods or fires — local government helps out too.

If you’re not sure if your enrolment details are up to date, head on over to bit.ly/ECSA27enrol
