City of Holdfast Bay The City of Holdfast Bay Council's official page

The City of Holdfast Bay encourages our community to engage with us through our social media channels, which is one of the tools we use to keep our community up-to-date and informed about Council decisions, community consultations, events, activities and services. As referenced in Council’s Social Media policy, which is a public document, Council has both a duty of care and an obligation to provide a safe environment for people to participate, converse and exchange ideas. To meet this obligation, Council staff will regularly monitor social media platforms and will provide moderation to ensure discussions stay on topic and are respectful, to Council staff and other people who are commenting. Any comment considered offensive, including defamatory remarks, name calling, racist, sexist and any other derogatory comments, threatening, abusive or offensive language, heated arguments which become personal or off topic and links to other websites or promotion, and/or not aligned with Council’s values, Code of Conduct or policies, will be removed. If you have a query or complaint that contains personal or sensitive information, please send us a direct message through Facebook or call 8229 9999 to speak to a member of the Customer Service team. https://www.holdfast.sa.gov.au/council/policies_registers_by-laws/policies -governance-policies

🌱 Good things take time!

Our new Jetty Road plants are settling into their new home, and after a slower start through winter, they need a little longer to establish.

To protect them while they grow, the bunting around the garden beds will stay in place for a few more months. By the festive season we’re expecting the landscaping to be looking lush and thriving.

Please help us give the plants the best chance to succeed by keeping out of the garden beds.

Thanks for helping us create a greener and more beautiful Jetty Road.

Are you involved in a sporting club, community organisation or volunteer group? We want to hear from you.

We’re seeking community feedback on our draft Sporting and Community Lease & Licence Policy, which aims to ensure Council-owned facilities are managed fairly, consistently and transparently.

We invite sporting clubs, community organisations, lease and licence holders, facility users and interested community members to review the draft policy and share their feedback.

Your feedback will help shape the final policy and ensure it reflects the needs and priorities of our community.

Share your feedback on the draft policy before 5pm, Thursday 8 October 2026. www.yourholdfast.com/lease-policy
