$300 a week for worker accommodation
By Nasik Swami The Tatiara District Council needs to make money from workers who will occupy the newly completed workers accommodation at the Bordertown Caravan Park, says an elected counsellor. During a council meeting, Cr Miles Hannemann argued that the $300 per week fee for the workers’ accommodation was too little for a council that was financially struggling. In a report that factored in the current ‘market context’ for providing medium-term worker’s accommodation, the council administration proposed a fee schedule of $300 to be set for the furnished worker’s accommodation. The council was divided on the proposal, with some councillors saying the fee was fair and would attract workers to come to Bordertown, stay there, and spend money. “Council does not have many streams of income, and we have got these units at $300 per two people; that’s $35 a night per person,” Cr Hannemann said. He said workers paid […]

Free entry for locals
By Josie Collins, Media Manager, Naracoorte Lucindale Council LOCALS can once again enjoy free entry to the Naracoorte Caves when they take along their visiting family or friends in the re-launch of an exciting initiative to strengthen our unique connection with the World Heritage site. The timely re-launch of the initiative at the start of the July school holidays is a collaborative project between National Parks and Wildlife Service SA and Naracoorte Lucindale Council. Local residents in the Naracoorte Lucindale Council area will receive free tour entry at the Caves when they take a visitor along to the park with them. So, a local family can take a visiting family along to the Caves and the visiting family will pay but the locals won’t. With savings in their pocket, the local family could pay for their visitors as a bit of a treat, or even split the costs with their […]
Running for Premature Babies
By Sophie, founder of the charity Running for Premature Babies I started this charity 17 years ago after losing all three of my prematurely born triplets to their prematurity. I wanted to reach out to you as a local young man in your community who was born at the same gestation as my triplets but was lucky enough to survive, and who is now doing something amazing and I would so love for your local Naracoorte News to publish this story! Lachy Miles, aged 25, is taking part in the Run Melbourne running event on Sunday 16 July to support my charity, which is raising funds for a lifesaving neonatal ventilator for the Monash Newborn NICU, which will save the lives of premature babies. Lachy’s story is remarkable. Born at 23 weeks gestation he wasn’t expected to survive this premature birth and was given a 20% chance of survival. Lachy […]
