COMMUNITY BUS BECOMES REALITY ASHOSPITAL AUXILLIARY DONATES VEHICLE

SERVING THE OPAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD SINCE 1982

Back in 2010 The Hospital Auxiliary becameconcerned about resources for the large number

of aged residents, many of whom have nofamily support.

Hospital Auxilliary committee member Sue Radekasaid, “A survey was conducted by The Auxiliary and95 people responded. Almost half of them were aged65-85 years old and wanted to stay in Coober Pedy.”

“The Auxiliary investigated potential ways to meet theneed for resources both now and over the next 20years.”

“Community transport was identified as needed andachievable. Therefore, The Auxiliary pledged $20,000towards purchasing a suitable vehicle. In previous yearsthere had been many people, including Councillors whohave worked on the need for a local transport servicefor Coober Pedians, sadly without success.” said Mrs.Radeka.

“In recent years The Auxiliary approached the councilon several occasions in regard to community transport.Over the last 6 months Auxiliary have been invited tofurther discussions with Mayor Michelle Provatidis, theprevious acting CEO and our current one, Neil Brown.”

“The Auxiliary has now formerly offered to donate tothe council a fully serviced Ford Transit to use as acommunity transport vehicle. There are no conditionson this donation. It is hoped that the aged and disabledwill benefit directly from the proposed service and itwill operate with flexible stops at set times duringnormal business hours,” explained Mrs. Radeka.

“This donation enables community transport to beprovided to residents without creating a new financialburden for council. If successful it will provide dataand evidence that could enable council to apply forgrant money for future vehicles and/or expansion.”

“The Auxiliary members are immensely pleased wehave been able to contribute towards our community,”said Sue Radeka.

“The project still needs the support of the communityand the council will be looking for volunteers to supportthe operation.”

Mayor Michelle Provatidis said, “I am very pleasedwith the results of council’s talks with the HospitalAuxilliary and the general enthusiasm in the town forthe bus project. We already have three volunteer driverson a list.”

“I have even been approached by the school sayingthat the geography class may be interested in contributingto a map or a route. Obviously the Works Departmentwould be part of the process as well,” said Ms Provatidis

“The bus will basically be a community bus foreverybody; for people who don’t drive; aged peoplewho can’t drive; youth who may want to use the service,just like in any other town,” said the Mayor

Members of the Hospital Auxilliary met with community members and Council over the long week-end to look over the bus. L- R are Edward Radeka, Doug Trenham, Mayor Michelle Provatidis, PearlDriver, Sue Radeka, Trish Turner, Yvonne and Matt Geiszler

FLASHBACK to 2004

An earlier survey in 2004 undertaken by CouncillorsRowena Wardle and Tina Doulgaris did not result in a busservice for Coober Pedy.

As reported in the Coober Pedy Regional Times on 2November 2004, it was envisaged that a bus would onlyoperate within Council boundaries and a 5 year contractwould be let to a tenderer to run the service.

At the time Cr.Tina Doulgaris said, "It is likely the fee fora bus trip would be something like a gold coin fee, but

that there would be concessions for school students,pensioners and concession card holders.”

Some of the clientele might have been school youth,Thursday shoppers, medical appointments, visits to clubs,pub, drivein and between airport and town.

The bus would be available to individual members ofthe public at other times for a fee. Unfortunately thecommunity support was not strong enough.

Upper limit forMinor Civil

matters reduced

New laws have passed Parliament that lower the thresholdof minor civil court matters to $12,000 and reducecomplexity of small claims heard in the Magistrates Court.

The changes, which formally passed today, decrease thetotal value of a minor civil court matter from $25,000 to$12,000.

Small claim cases include recovery of small debts andclaims, neighbourhood disputes and minor statutoryproceedings.

Parties in a small claim hearing are usually not entitled tolegal representation.

Attorney General John Rau said, “Setting the limit to$12,000 will enable the court to deal more efficiently withsmall claims that can be made without incurringsubstantial legal costs that would otherwise outweigh thevalue of the claim.”

In 2012 the State Government proposed changes toincrease the monetary limit from $6,000 to $12,000 forminor civil matters to keep in line with other States.

“Decreasing the total value limit for a minor civil courtcase will ensure the small claims jurisdiction is notoverloaded with long and complicated matters that maylead to further delays.”

Opposition amendments resulted in the increase beingpushed up to $25,000, which took effect on 1 July 2013with a review of the operation and impact required 12months from its introduction.

“The State Government voiced concerns when the limitwas raised to $25,000 that expanding the number of smallclaims not entitled to legal representation would lead to anadditional burden on the court and only be exacerbatedby dealing with more complex trials in a more informalsetting,” said Mr. Rau.

SA Parliament limits minor civil matters to$12,000 in the Magistrates Court

The State Government yesterday announced that it iscontinuing negotiations with Alinta Energy for the OutbackCommunities Authority (OCA) to take over operationalmanagement of Leigh Creek from 1 January 2017.

The announcement follows the State Government’sdecision to continue the provision of essential servicesbeyond mid-2018 with support for Leigh Creek to remain‘open for business’ into the future.

The Township will continue to provide essential servicesto about 700 people both in Leigh Creek and surroundingcommunities with existing buildings, including those forcommercial use such as the caravan park, tavern, school,parks being maintained.

Maintenance of essential town services and assets includeswater, wastewater, roads and aerodrome and municipalservices such as the rubbish dump, footpaths, parks andgardens, barbecues, public toilets, street lighting and otherrecreational facilities including the swimming pool, ovals,gymnasium, and sports stadium.

Manufacturing and Innovation Minister Kyam Maher madethe announcement in Leigh Creek yesterday in supportfor the northern Flinders Ranges Communities affectedby the closure of Alinta Energy’s Leigh Creek coal miningoperations.

The Minister also released a report by former SouthAustralian Education and Tourism Minister Dr JaneLomax-Smith, which contains 30 recommendations madeto the State Government to maintain and revitalise thetownship.

The Leigh Creek Futures Report includes the establishmentof an Advisory Body with representatives fromsurrounding communities along with representatives fromthe Adnyamathanha Traditional Lands Association (ATLA)so that residents in the surrounding communities whouse the regional service town can have a say in its future.

Outback Communities Authorityto take over operational

management of Leigh CreekResidents will be encouraged to stay in the town withtenancies being rolled over and the town transitioning tobe an open community in a staged and consideredprocess over the next year.

Of the current housing stock, some dwellings areintended to be kept and upgraded for current use, otherdwellings to be retained for future use and dependingon future demand there will be a progressive programto demolish dwellings which are surplus to requirements.

The OCA is committed to ensuring that the communitycan transition successfully and is able to grasp futureeconomic opportunities.

Government will appoint a Transition Manager to workwith OCA to develop commercial and marketingopportunities in the town and the region, including openingan Expression of Interest process for commercialbusinesses like the tavern and caravan park within thenext six months.

Cecilia Woolford Chair of the OCA said that shewelcomes the release of the Leigh Creek Futures Reportand commitment from Government that has provided adegree of certainty along with a strong financialcommitment for the future social and economic directionof the Township and region.

“The Outback Communities Authority is the StateGovernment’s Statutory Authority that has a legislativeresponsibility to provide for efficient and accountableadministration and management of outback communities,it is therefore completely appropriate for the OutbackCommunities Authority to manage the transition of LeighCreek to a town that is open for business.

If you are an Australian citizen aged 18 years or over, you are required by law to vote. So, if you’re unable to make it to a polling place on election day, you can vote early at an early voting centre or apply for a postal vote.

You can vote early if you are at work on Saturday 2 July, or will be outside the electorate where you are enrolled. There are other reasons you can vote early – visit www.aec.gov.au/early to find out more.

ATO simplifiesdeductions with

newmyDeductions tool

www.ato.gov.au/deductions.

With tax time fast approaching, the AustralianTaxation Office (ATO) is encouraging

taxpayers to ditch their manual efforts to logtheir receipts and use its new myDeductions

tool to keep track of their work-relatedexpenses electronically.

Available through the ATO app, myDeductionsis designed to make it easier for individuals torecord their work-related expenses. The toolallows users to store and track all their work-related expenses throughout the year on theirsmartphone or device.

This Tax Time, individuals can upload theircompleted deductions from myDeductionsdirectly to the ATO and their tax return will bepre-filled. Individuals can also share informationwith their tax agents and accountants via email.

Assistant Commissioner, Graham Whyte said thetool would reduce the headache of trying toremember what expenses they can claim at taxtime.

“Tax time can be stressful enough without theadded trouble of sorting and filing through a year’sworth of receipts. myDeductions is an easy andconvenient way for Australians to track theirexpenses on the go, as and when they need,”Mr Whyte said.


Police NewsPolice have been busy over the previous fortnight with aspate of petty thefts, interference with motor vehicles andbreaks into premises. Some tourists have also becomeunwitting victims to opportunist thieves. Tourist seasonis also in full swing with increased traffic in town and onthe highway. Police encourage members of the public tobe mindful of their own security and that of their property.Police also encourage members of the public to take extracare whilst driving around Coober Pedy as the additionaltraffic in the area has the potential to create untowardhazards.

Over the weekend, between Friday 27th May and Monday30th May, offenders broke into the Umoona WomansActivity Centre on Umoona Road, Coober Pedy. Entrywas gained by forcing a window and stole aboriginal dotpainting artworks. Police believe these artworks may havebeen sold to unwitting buyers. Police are currentlypursuing a number of lines of enquiry. This theft is verydisheartening to the aboriginal women that have producedthese artworks and a shameful act of disrespect. Policewould appreciate further information from the public oranyone who has recently purchased aboriginal dot paintingswhich may assist with this investigation.

At about 5.30 pm Monday 30th May, a business owneron Italian Club Road was leaving his premises after closingup for the day when he was confronted by two maleyouths as he walked to his car.

Police arrested a 50 year old male foraggravated assault and breach of intervention order. Hewas refused bail. He has been remanded in custody to thePort Augusta Gaol. He is scheduled to appear in the PortAugusta court on 15th Augusta.

Police have received reports of yet another online scam.These seem to come around regularly and are a sign ofour technological age, with technologies being used byunscrupulous people often in overseas countries to defraudothers that may not be as tech savvy. This one, purportsto be from Samsung advising that you have won $600,000and all you need to do is send them a couple of hundreddollars so that you can collect it. DON’T DO IT. Onsimple analysis, if it’s too good to be true it probably is ascam, when did you last win a big competition that youdidn’t enter!! Why would you need to pay a fee tocollect!!! If you respond they can get access remotely toyour phone/computer/tablet and install predatory softwareon it and not just lose you money. Using thetelecommunication network to commit or attempt tocommit a fraud is not a local police matter it is a FederalPolice matter and can be reported online to the AustralianCybercrime Online Reporting Network, ACORN, https://www.acorn.gov.au/This website also has links to information and lists ofknown online scams for assistance.

At about 5.30 pm Friday 3rd June 2016, police respondedto an incident on Italian Club Road, Coober Pedy, were avehicle had been entered and a wallet stolen.

Feedback fromthe agencies was also positive and it is envisaged thatfurther joint training exercises will be run in the future tofurther enhance capacity. A big thank is due to allparticipants for giving up their time to participate. With anumber of these agencies relying on volunteers, it isalways heartening to see them involve.

ATO retires e-tax in2016

The ATO announced today that its legacy online lodgmenttool e-tax has been retired.

Assistant Commissioner Graham Whyte said the ATO hadreplaced e-tax for Tax Time 2016 with myTax, whichhas been upgraded and improved since last tax time.MyTax is now suitable for any Australian who wants tolodge their own tax return – regardless their tax affairs.

“In 2016, myTax has been expanded to do everything e-tax could do and more, and will be available on 1 July2016,” Mr Whyte said.

“For example, not only will Australians with rentalproperties be able to use myTax this year, but they willalso be able to take advantage of the fully integrated toolsand calculators. One of these new tools allows propertyinvestors to record depreciation and capital gains.”

First introduced in 2014, myTax slashes the time and effortrequired to lodge your own tax return. It is safe and secure,and can be accessed on any smartphone, tablet orcomputer. With 1.75 million lodgments in 2015, there wasa 70 per cent increase in the number of people lodgingthrough myTax.

“Over the past few years we’ve been seeing around threemillion Australians prepare their own tax return using eithermyTax or e-tax, so we’re hoping to see three million myTaxlodgments in 2016,” Mr Whyte said.

“We understand sometimes it can be hard to change habits,especially for those who have been using e-tax since itslaunch in 1999. What we would say to those who are abit unsure about myTax is to give it a go: you’ll probablyhave your tax return lodged in a fraction of the time.”

Mr Whyte said that while myTax is a great tool for peoplewho want to lodge their own tax return, the ATO alsoknew that around 74 per cent of Australians seek theassistance of a tax agent to lodge. The community has achoice; they can use a tax agent or prepare their ownreturn.

“For anyone thinking about using a tax agent for the firsttime or a different one to last year, it is important to contactthem before the end of October to meet their lodgmentdates,” Mr Whyte said.

“It’s also important to ensure you use a registered taxagent. Only a registered tax agent can charge a fee fordoing your tax return. A list of registered tax agents isavailable on the Tax Practitioners Board website.”

NUCLEAR FUEL CYCLE ROYAL COMMISSION


The Alinytjara Wilurara Natural ResourcesManagement (AW NRM) Board is delightedto welcome two new members to theirranks, both of whom bring with them awealth of experience and a deepunderstanding of the region and its people.

Peter Miller has been involved in communityaffairs for the last 30 years in and aroundCeduna. He has been Chairperson of anumber of key organisations in the regionincluding Ceduna Aboriginal Corporation(CAC), and Ceduna Koonibba AboriginalHealth Service (CKAHS) and five years asExecutive Chairperson for the AboriginalHealth Council of South Australia.

“Mr Miller’s experienced in strategicbusiness planning, corporate governance andfinance management, together with hisbroad understanding of local and state issuesis highly relevant to the continued successin engagement and delivery of on-groundworks” said the AW NRM Board’s PresidingMember Parry Agius.

AW NRM Board welcomesnew members and

farewells some old greats

Starting with the Board in 2010, RoseLester’s first-hand experience in pastoralmanagement as a landholder for over 20years of Walatinna cattle station in the APYLands, gave her valuable insight intoissues such as soil conservation, grasslandmaintenance and stock viabilityassessment. She also worked extensivelyas an Anangu interpreter for a variety ofgovernment departments and the SouthAustralian courts.

“As a Yankunytjatjara woman, Roseshowed a strong commitment to land andwater conservation, as well as culturalheritage. As a member of the AW NRMBoard she was instrumental in thedevelopment of numerous policies andprograms related to the control of pestanimals (eg dingoes, feral camels/horses/cats) and plants, particularly buffel grass.”

“We are confident that Rose will continueto pursue her convictions to ensuring theland and people are cared for and thatAboriginal culture is better understood andrespected” said Mr Agius.

“We are also very pleased that KristyRichards will be joining us. She has livedin and around Yalata Community for manyyears and is well versed in Aboriginal Lore.With a Bachelor of Science Degree inIndigenous Community Management andDevelopment, and a wealth of experienceworking in remote Aboriginal communitiesin both South Australia and the NorthernTerritory, she is undoubtedly qualified tomake a valuable contribution to the Board’sfuture endeavours” said Mr Agius.

The Board also extends its sincere thanksto retiring Board members, Rose Lester andBrian Queama for their many years ofservice and contributions to the strategicdevelopment of its policies and plans, aswell as for their support on a range ofsuccessful on-ground NRM outcomes.

Mr Queama started with the AW NRMBoard in 2011 bringing with him a solidunderstanding of regional land issuesthrough his years employed as a YalataLand Management Ranger. As a respectedElder, he has held a number of othersignificant positions including as a memberof the Tullawon Health Board, theMaralinga Tjarutja Council, and YalataCommunity Council.

“Brian’s close relationship with the peopleof Oak Valley and Yalata Communities andhis active participation in on-ground workscontributed strongly to the Board’ssuccessful engagement, training andworks delivery with local communitymembers” Mr Agius said.

At the second Coober Pedy AmateurRace Club AGM a committee was

formed thanks to three new memberstaking on roles of Vice President,

Secretary and Treasurer. Since theAGM the Treasurer has pulled out of

the position.

The races are going ahead which isgreat.

The dates set for the 2016 AnnualRaces are Saturday 13 and

Sunday 14th August.

There will be a little bit of time whereeveryone gets used to the different rolesand handovers occur but everyone wasvery keen to have a successful event.

As with any event the list of jobs to bedone is very long and the jobs notallocated to the different exec positionsis also long so if anyone wants to helpout the club welcome new members atany time of the year.
