The Regional Council of Goyder, the Elected Body & staff, the Burra Community Management Committee, the Eudunda Community Business & Tourism Committee (ECBAT) & the Robertstown & District Community & Management Committee are ensuring that the maximum possible impact & interaction is gained from these projects in the local communities from Burra to Eudunda by connecting the contractors of each project to the local labour force, accommodation & food providers & other businesses.

Mel is in regular contact with the key owners or employees of all of the above projects to obtain status reports and then respond to their local requirements as needed. We thank Mel for all his enthusiasm and commitment to this project.

COVID Hotline
Remember to practise social distancing, follow hygiene rules, and get tested at the very first sign of sickness. COVID HOTLINE – 1800 253 787.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Due to the changing landscape on restrictions please refer to current information and daily updates: www.covid-19.sa.gov.au
If someone in South Australia tests positive to COVID-19, the COVID SAfe Check-In enables SA Health to quickly contact others who may have been exposed to the virus and stop the spread of COVID-19.

Thank you for playing your part in keeping SA COVID Safe.
The COVID SAfe Check-In is one of the most important tools we have in tracing the potential spread of COVID-19 during an exposure or outbreak. When an outbreak occurs, if everyone has been checking in consistently, we are less likely to need measures like widespread requirements for isolation, lockdowns and border closures.
Launch of Operation Trace
SA Police have launched Operation ‘Trace’ today, using plain clothes police officers to ensure that people are checking in and providing their contact details when they enter a business or attend a public activity.
Police officers will also be ensuring businesses have QR codes displayed, are providing a secure hard copy check-in option and are ensuring as far as possible that customers and patrons are checking in.
Full details and requirements in relation to using the COVID SAfe Check-In system are in the Emergency Management (Public Activities No 24) (COVID-19) Direction 2021.
Keeping physical contact tracing records secure
Following an incident of a person misusing information taken from physical contact tracing records at a business, we would like to help you ensure your physical contact tracing records are kept secure.
Contact tracing records must be kept in a way that reduces the risk of them being copied, photographed, taken or used by another person (other than an authorised officer). Here are some ideas to help you reduce the risk of your customer’s details being copied:
- Place paper-based contact tracing records where they can be supervised by a staff member as well as regularly removed and replaced with a new contact tracing record sheet.
- Provide customers with individual check-in sheets that customers can fill in and put into a secure box. Individual check-in sheet templates are available at www.sa.gov.au/checkin.
- Store records in a safe location at the end of each day. After 28 days they should be disposed of securely. If your business does not have bins specifically for confidential documents, please shred or rip the records into small pieces before disposing.
- You can scan the records and keep them electronically instead of retaining all paper records for 28 days. If you do this, please ensure your system is secure and the electronic records are fully deleted/disposed of securely after 28 days.
For more information and resources, visit www.sa.gov.au/checkin.
Public Activities Direction Update
The Public Activities Direction has been updated in South Australia and came into effect on Friday 7 May 2021. The Direction amendment prohibits interference with COVID SAfe Check-In QR codes.
This means a person who interferes with or removes a sign containing a dedicated COVID SAfe Check-In QR code without authorisation is in breach of the Direction and may receive an expiation notice under the Emergency Management Act 2004.
More Information
For more information please visit www.covid-19.sa.gov.au or call the SA COVID-19 Information Line on 1800 253 787 between 9am to 5pm, 7 days per week.

"The first stages of the Mural are going down - these weird squiggles might look like graffiti or abstract art, but they are actually a grid that the Artist uses to make sure the artwork itself is all in proportion and looks best from the viewing area and walking pathway."

Applications now open for Future Drought Fund’s Networks to Build Drought Resilience program
Community organisations and networks can access a share of $4.5 million under the Networks to Build Drought Resilience program, with grants on offer to drive action on drought resilience. The program will be delivered by the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR).
Through the Networks to Build Resilience program, the Australian Government’s investment of $3.375m, together with a $1.125m contribution from FRRR, will enable $4.5 million to be available for on-ground community capacity building projects, across two funding rounds.
The Networks to Build Drought Resilience program will support the community organisations, networks and infrastructure that help people and communities prepare for, and live through, times of drought. The program will fund events, activities, training and small-scale infrastructure that assist communities to build their capacity.
FRRR CEO Natalie Egleton said local community networks are the foundation of resilient communities.
“Through this program we’re helping to invest in the future of agriculture-dependent regions by enabling them to prepare now for periods of ongoing dryness,” Ms Egleton said.
“A key element of this program will be to build stronger networks, and to encourage greater sharing of learnings and more collaboration within and across networks.”
Applications are now open and close at 5pm AEST, 5 July 2021. Grant recipients will be announced October 2021.
