30th August.
Committee meeting at Agnes, and Alan house.
Attendees: Les, Laurie, Lynne, Agnes, Alan, Milly and Jamie
Apologies: Peter, Julie, Brenda.
Brenda offered her resignation, she is unable to continue due to other commitments at this time. Committee accepted Brenda's resignation.
Minutes: Minutes from the last meeting were accepted.
Items arising from the previous meeting:
Markers have now been placed on the electric wires, near the bridge
50 K. signs have been place within the marina development. Trade vehicles still seem to be ignoring the speed limit
Retirement village:
The committee questioned what was happening regarding the retirement village.
Lynne to ask the developers.
Feedback from the developers:
Lynne received a letter from the developers.
The raised bank, around hard-standing area is to have a permanent paved walkway to the tavern
The marquee may be available for community events
Aim of the marina lovers:
Previous meetings have been finding a role.
It is felt that the aim of the group is to give information for newcomers.
What can I get, where, how, when
Generate a mission statement
Council:
The council appears to have no development plans for the marina.
The committee questioned who our councilor was and what ward we fell under
Milly to find out who our councillors are, and invite them to our next meeting
Boat club:
A resident had requested that the boat club includes fine dining.
It was felt by the committee that this would not survive.
The boat club is believed to be a commercial enterprise, which the committee felt should be a casual location.
Retail section:
A doctors surgery, already exists, in what will become the new retail section.
It is believed that a pharmacy and dentist are already lined up for the future.
Footpaths:
The council need to be actioned to get the footpath from the bridge to the marina.
We all need to write to the council as individuals. Public liability, near miss, environmental, are all words that could be used within your letters.
The people from the new houses outside the marina may be interested in writing letters also.
Jazz on the water:
It is believed that the Rotary will be organising this event.
The procession of boat lights may want to be linked with the Jazz on water event.
Hindmarsh Island Rotary:
HI Rotary has been running for just over a year and a new president has recently been sworn in. A new website is currently under construction.
Anyone with a mind for raising money and offering some time for the community is welcome to join. Currently the HI rotary are giving time to a variety of causes:
Breakfast club @ the primary school
Coffee morning at the retirement village
Fundraising events throughout the year
HI Rotary meet at Rankines Landing on Monday Lunchtimes - 12 for 12:15 lunch till 1pm.
Ask Peter Rankine for contact details.
Future Fundraising Events:
Garage / Car boot sale – spring clearout. Gold coin donation for each car.
Advertising as a community event; Times newspaper; various local radio stations.
Photos of the locality made into a calendar
Social Event:
Agnes has investigated locations for a community event for the Marina Lovers
Steam Exchange:- Expensive, limited dates available for October
Centenary Hall:- Expensive, Bond required, Cleaning required afterwards, event to be finished by 1am, public liability required
Aquatic Club:- better price for event with reduction for community groups, cleaning included, bar available (no BYO), self cater or use Café de Carlo, kitchen fully stocked.
How would we work out how many people would come and so how much to charge?
May be a little expensive at this time – need to do some fundraising before hand.
Sausage Sizzle:
Cheaper option at this stage may be to have a sausage sizzle within the marina
Sausage on bread, with onions and sauce.
Lunchtime event, get sausages in bulk from butcher. 8-10 kilos
Barbeques provided by committee – or ask the developer
Laurie & Allan to ask Andrew if he would be able to lend BBQ, if there is an area we can use and if he would be available to join us

Marina Lovers committee meeting 28th June 2007
Minutes from the
Marina Lovers committee meeting 28th June 2007
Hosted at: Milly & Jamie’s house
Attendee’s: Lynne, Laurie, Julie, Agnes, Alan, Jamie, Milly, Peter, Les
Apologies: Brenda Rogers
Chair: Lynne
A meeting was previously held between the developer, Lynne and Peter. Many issues were raised in a relaxed and open environment. The minutes of the previous meeting were discussed and it was agreed that future minutes of a positive nature will be put on the web.
· Discussion about a code of practice for builders around the marina development. Roadside reserves are being damaged, trucks leave damage and mud. The developer agreed that action was needed however it would be the council that would need to be approached. Letters should be written by individuals to the council. All roads are the responsibility of the council, by putting pen to paper the council are obliged to respond.
· All reserves are at this time at level 3 – no watering – the council are responsible and the marina are contracted to maintain them. It was felt that the residents should take part in more community plantings in the future.
· At the end of the drought plans for the marina include a playing area and bbq near the tennis court. The playground which is currently near Rankine’s is not to be fenced – once the park is fenced liability is accepted and a false sense of security could lead to problems.
· The ‘Yacht Club’ is planned for the end of the year. It is planned to be a multi purpose club – an aquatic club, lease of a café, community room, there will be no boat ramp at the location.
· Noise from holiday homes should be reported to the police and an incident report number taken. Anything after midnight is deemed as antisocial hours for noise. Estate agents and the council will only take notice with incident report numbers.
· Access and swipe cards ideas were taken by the developer to be looked at in the future.
· Speed limit signage – letters are needed to Simon Grenfell at the council. It is believed that extra signage near the lookout on Excelsior Parade would be the best location for extra signs. Speed traps could easily be arranged!
· The bikeway/exercise track was seen by the developer as a good idea after the final stage. The area around the edge of the development is a fire break and during the next stage earth will put here. Tree’s will be planted over the ridge and a high boardwalk is planned over the fish breeding area. The bikeway could then be extended, which could continue to the Murray mouth.
· The raised gravel walkway from the point at Arcadia Ave to the Tavern on top of the bank is identified for a more permanent walkway to join the soon to be completed walkway around the main marina basin. Current thoughts are a 1.2m paved walkway.
Discussion was had about sponsoring a ‘doggy do’ bag holder. There is currently one near Rankine’s, should one be put in the residents area? It was thought that there shouldn’t be a bin with it as this would require waste removal.
Letterhead – The anchor was chosen as the letterhead for the group. A newsletter was discussed however it was deemed to be a lot of hard work and future expense. Maybe an article can be placed in Marina Matters for the time being.
Community shed – The possibility may be discussed when there are more people in the marina.
Mail deliveries – Goolwa post office is a sub branch and deliveries are contracted out. Official requests for deliveries should be made to Australia Post, National Operations. Also if Post Offices boxes are required and problems are arising contact Adelaide. We pay rates and we also have to pay for a PO box.
We should attend a meeting of the Goolwa District Ratepayers and Residents Association Inc. This would be an opportunity to raise issues – such as the delivery of post. The ratepayers meet on the last Friday of each month excluding December at the Church of Christ Hall in Porter Street, Goolwa, commencing 7:30 pm.
Social events – should be low cost or no cost
Christmas Boat Sail Past with lights
Marquee from the developer – bring plate/bottle
Agnes to look into the use of the Brewery, Aquatic Café (upstairs) for a large social event on a Saturday in October, date to be confirmed.
AOB
Swans are being killed on Rankine’s Road HI near the bridge. They are believed to be flying into the power lines and being electrocuted. The council or ETSA should be addressed to put insulators or plastic balls in order to save future swans. The wildlife group could be approached for their assistance.
The recent boating accident was discussed. Concern was raised about lighting on the river, more lights were felt to be needed, with more/brighter lights for the channel entrance required. SA transport and Marina & Harbours should be contacted. Until such time go slowly and look carefully.
Roadside reserves – first 1.2 m is public access and should be kept clear. Residents need permission to plant trees. They need to be 5m from the road edge. Guidelines for the use of the land at the road edge should be put into the marina matters – land is council owned we maintain it. Nothing should park there. Watch out for new guidelines in the next council newsletter available from the council offices.

Volunteer planting day on Sunday 20th May
We have just come in from a great day of planting and socialising, at which two separate areas were planted with some 1300 trees and shrubs, and new friendships were established. This was a fabulous opportunity for TMHI and the local community to work together to progress our immediate environment
The event was held to create a sustainable landscape, with TMHI staff and QED landscape designers on site to answer questions and to talk about sustainable gardening. Two areas were planted, one on Shannon Place and the second on Ventura Place. Plant species included Coastal Banksia, Seaberry Saltbush and Round Leaf Pig Face to name just three. A leaflet detailing plants and site preparation is available from the Marina office. Visit http://www.tmhi.com.au/ to learn more about this concept.
The event was followed by a leisurely barbeque lunch hosted by TMHI. Drinks, food and conversation allowed everyone a chance to relax and discuss the mornings work. Everyone who attended, whether for an hour or the day, had a great time, and we look forward to seeing more people at the next event.

Marina Lovers community group
It was suggested that we, the residents of The Marina Hinmarsh Island, might all get together to float suggestions, toss ideas around, discuss thoughts, express concerns and share opinions to make this an even more agreeable place in which to live.
There are in excess of 300 permanent residents here now, countless weekenders, visitors and, as can be seen all around, new homes springing up all over the neighbourhood.
Positive ideas for The Marina Hindmarsh Island's future from a residents' point of view were expressed at a meeting at Boccabella's, Hindmarsh Island on Wednesday March 21st.
We would like to thank the Garry & the staff at Boccabella's for making us most welcome. Everyone enjoyed the food and wine available and we would like to encourage everyone to support Boccabella's in the future.
Information regarding further meetings and how you can take part in this community group will be posted on this page. Also links to useful websites.
