McConnell Reserve Marino Nieghbour Day Picnic !
Council debated the future of the western side on 22 February here Thanks to all those who zoomed in. There was unanimous support from all Councillors for deferring the decision until a full evaluation of the new upgrades and potential to integrate the western side has been completed by Council. A report will go back to council in Feb 2023. Thanks to our Local Ward Councillors Tim Gard (in particular) and Ian Crossland for their support of this outcome. We will continue to collaborate with Council on this matter Thanks for showing your support by joining us for our Neighbour Day event on 10 April details here and enjoying this gem of a park with views to die for!!

5049 KIND NEIGHBOURS Be part of the ‘Kind Neighbours’ initiative . 5049 and The Neighbourhood Circles Project report released “We don’t have to imagine that our neighbours are going to be our best friends or that we need to be in each other’s pockets, but knowing our neighbours, being on smiling, conversational terms….is very important to our sense of physical safety and emotional security. And none of that depends on living in a beautiful place. But it does depend on having made those social connections.” Hugh Mackay, Belonging Matters 2015.

KAURNA ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional owners and custodians of the land where our 5049 community resides. We respect their spiritual relationship with country that has developed over thousands of years, and the cultural heritage and beliefs that remain important to Kaurna People today.
We are extremely fortunate to share with the Kaurna people this wonderful place.
The Kaurna people are the original people of Adelaide and the Adelaide Plains, whose country stretches from Crystal Brook in the north to Cape Jervis in the south. The coastal plains provided a hospitable summer camp environment with rolling sand dunes, freshwater lagoons and natural springs for the Kaurna people, where food and water was plentiful. When the winter months approached the Kaurna people generally moved further inland to the foothills to avoid the flooding of estuaries and rivers.
