Roundabouts tally $14.6 million
By Chris Oldfield NARACOORTE’S roundabouts have a total expenditure of $14.6 million, according to the SA Government’s 2023-24 budget papers. That includes a further $2.75 million listed to be spent before June 2024. Ironically, a 2004 Naracoorte Lucindale Council ignored the community’s call for stop lights, claiming roundabouts were going to be cheaper. The $14.6 million listing is on page 113 of Budget Statement – Budget Paper 3. But it represents money spent since 2020. Explaining the expenditure to The News, Regional Roads Minister Geoff Brock said the $14.6 million Rural Roads Package – Naracoorte Roundabouts project “has comprised upgrades to two existing roundabouts located in Naracoorte”. Regarding the Riddoch Hwy-Wimmera Hwy/Smith St-Lucindale Rd roundabout, Mr Brock said it involved full reconstruction of the roundabout, kerb realignment, upgraded road lighting, line marking, new underground drainage and pavement reconstruction. “Main works were completed in June 2020, with a minor redesign of […]
Naracoorte South Primary School – 22nd June 2023
By Ms Edwards, Principal Refugee Week Did you know this week we celebrate Refugee Week? Refugee Week is an annual event in Australia that is celebrated from the 18th to the 24th of June. It is a time to acknowledge the contributions, resilience and courage of refugees, asylum seekers and their families. Our school understands the importance of promoting cultural diversity and inclusivity. It is also a time to appreciate the immense contribution that refugees make in our local community. Refugee week is so important to us as it helps raise awareness and inspire action towards creating an inclusive society for all. We encourage all parents and guardians to have conversations with your children about refugees and the significance of Refugee Week. Welcome to NSPS! A big warm welcome to Avi Khinda, who has joined Miss C and Room 4 Reception students. We wish you all the best at NSPS. […]
Naracoorte Primary School – 29th June 2023
By the Leadership Group: Rob Sandercock, Andrea Lawrie & Lucy Possingham Well, what a fortnight it has been. Somewhat damp underfoot with a flooded carpark, a few roof leakages and wet weather recesses and lunches all have added to the usual daily events at NPS. It is hard to believe that the term has almost come to an end. It has been a very productive term with a variety of achievements across the school. We started with the Colour Run in Week 1 (only to have it postponed due to rain), followed by South East Cross Country, Choir performances, Pedal Prix, a parent reading workshop, Sapsasa and a cookout to name just a few of the major happenings. Many more activities have taken place inside and outside the classrooms with exciting learning occurring in all year levels. Is it any wonder that the term has flown by? Reports Andrea, Lucy […]
