Keeping our Community and Staff Safe
The current public health and major emergency related to Covid-19 has impacted all of us.
The Regional Council of Goyder is no different. Because of the current public health and major emergency, it is necessary for Council to make some changes to the way in which it conducts its business.
When visiting Council buildings where there is public access, we require that staff and members of the community wear a mask, use the QR check in or fill in the Covid check in manually, as well as observe distancing and density requirements. There are free face masks available at both the Eudunda and Burra Council offices for public use.
We also encourage members of the public, where possible, to arrange appointments for Council services before coming in to the Council offices to ensure that we are meeting current distancing and density requirements.
During these changing times, we are constantly keeping our service delivery under review. We will keep you informed of any further changes.
For important information related to Covid-19 in South Australia visit: https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au
You can access most Council services on our website: www.goyder.sa.gov.au
via telephone: 08) 8892 0100

August Council Meeting Debrief
In what was probably the shortest Council meeting on record, with Councillors again attending via Zoom the following items of interest were discussed;
With the recent implementation of the Planning & Design Code, Council’s Development Policy was revoked.
The request from the Burra Regional Art Gallery for a donation towards accommodation at Paxton Square Cottages for Judges of the Art of the Flower event was approved. You’re encouraged to attend the event scheduled for 16 September – 31 October 2021 at the Burra Regional Art Gallery
An overwhelming number of community committee meeting minutes were included with the Burra Community Management Committee & Robertstown & Districts Community Management Committee holding their August 2021 AGM. If you’d like to be actively involved in your local community committee or attend a meeting please follow this link for further contact information: Township Management Committees
With Local Government Reforms imminent, Council supported Option 2 - the implementation of the Local Government Reform Commencement of the Behavioural Management Framework after the November 2022 Local Government Elections rather than Option 1 – as soon as possible.
After receiving an invitation from the Chair of the Dog & Cat Management Board regarding a Breeder Registration Compliance Program, Council is eager to make a submission outlining our concerns. A motion was passed to this effect and the submission will be included in the September Ordinary Council Meeting Agenda for information. Further information regarding the laws surrounding dog & cat breeding can be found here: Breeding Dogs and Cats
Other items of interest included a Short Term Holiday Rental Accommodation Bill 2021 and South Australia’s Draft Road Safety Strategy to 2031, both of which will be addressed by Council via correspondence directly.
Council also supported an early ward funding request from the Hallett Bowling Club providing a $8,500 towards a new sprinkler system. The request was given immediate consideration to ensure the greens would be in a good condition moving into spring.
The next ordinary meeting of Council will be held on 21 September 2021.
For any further information please don’t hesitate to contact Council.

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 Safe Check Ins
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, there is less likely to need measures like widespread requirements for isolation, lockdowns and border closures.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Due to the changing landscape on restrictions please refer to current information and daily updates: www.covid-19.sa.gov.au
South Australians have all played their part to manage the COVID-19 pandemic in our state.
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the next thing we all need to do to protect ourselves and the South Australian community. Find out where you can book your appointment by clicking on the link below.

Workforce of the Future – Rethinking Skills for the Jobs of Tomorrow
A National Skills Week Event
Monday 23 August - 12.00pm - 1.00pm AEST
Australia’s workforce has faced extraordinary challenges over the past 18 months. Since the COVID pandemic our workforce has seen
dramatic shifts, with some jobs temporarily or permanently lost, while other sectors have seen a huge spike in demand for workers.
While some industries have experienced significant workforce challenges, new industries have emerged and flourished.
In response to the COVID pandemic, many Australians made the rapid transition to working and studying from home,
accelerating the uptake of digital technologies and exposed a great need across the nation for skilled digital workers.
Our Mining, Human Services and Digital Skills Organisation Pilots have been at the forefront of Australia’s response to the nation’s
changing workforce needs, working with their industries to rethink skills needs and find innovative solutions to meet the current,
emerging, and future workforce needs of our nation.
12 months on from their first National Skills Week event, members of the Skills Organisation Pilots will come together again to share
their insights and discuss the projects they are leading to respond to the skills and training needs of their industries.
Join us for this special one-hour livestreamed event to discover how the Skills Organisation Pilots are strengthening Australia’s VET system and
preparing our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow.
Featuring:
- Patrick Kidd OBE OAM - Chief Executive Officer, Digital Skills Organisation Pilot
- Jodi Schmidt - Chief Executive Officer, Human Services Skills Organisation Pilot
- Gavin Lind - Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mining Skills Organisation Pilot
This free livestreamed event is open to the public and will be presented on: Monday 23 August from 12.00pm to 1.00pm AEST.

Research Project - Navigating Change
The Plug-in is supported by Office for Ageing Well and Wellbeing SA to explore how people aged over 50 years old navigate community-wide change, with a focus on regional South Australians. The project has launched with a state-wide survey and will be followed up with a series of focus groups and interviews early next year in several locations. The findings will be used to develop guiding principles for programs that support communities through these changes.
In this first stage, The Plug-in is looking for participants to complete an online survey which will take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. The only criterion is that people be aged 50 years or over.
There are multiple options for completing the survey for information go to our website below:

Dolly's Dream Support Line
The Dolly’s Dream Support Line is a free service that connects people with fully trained mental health professionals, with no referral from a GP needed. It has been created with rural communities in mind, where easy access to mental health services is not always available.
People who are struggling can call or text 0488 881 033, a confidential line and have a conversation with someone who can help.
The Dolly’s Dream Support Line is for anyone who needs it – parents, teenagers and the general public – as often as they need it.
It’s there for people looking for someone to talk to about bullying, it’s there to help parents looking for advice, and it’s there for people who are feeling a bit isolated and need someone to talk to.

Eudunda Silo Art Project Progressing Well
The Eudunda Community, Business and Tourism Committee (ECBAT) are excited to report a steady flow of locals and visitors coming to see their Eudunda Silo Art Project taking shape.
ECBAT hope that the Silo Art will be another reason for Tourists to come to Eudunda for a visit or perhaps to stay. Certainly tourists have many things they can do in the area, and ECBAT is encouraging them to stay in our existing Light Hotel, Eudunda Motel and B&B’s such as Mouse House on Bruce, and people now have an extra choice of staying in one of the 8 Powered Caravan Park sites or do ‘Free Camping’.
Whatever way tourists come and stay, they have the opportunity to find good country food, and to explore other features of the district.
In fact Eudunda is so central to four main tourist areas, some people elect to stay in Eudunda where it is economic to do so and do ‘day trips’ to Burra, Clare or the Barossa Valley.
The silo art became possible when Eudunda through ECBAT received a Tackling Tough Times Grants to paint the Silo’s, and further funding has been obtained from the Regional Council of Goyder to construct infrastructure such as parking area, paths leading to the artwork, an elevated viewing area which will eventually be lawn and further landscaping.
Eudunda residents should be excited about all the positive things that are happening around the district.

‘Bring a receipt’ with your fruit Riverland rule has changed
Travellers within South Australia have long been familiar with the ‘bring a receipt’ rule when travelling into the Riverland – previously if you could show appropriate proof of purchase for your fruit and veg you could take it in with you.
To further protect Riverland growers, new changes are now in effect meaning the ‘bring a receipt’ rule is no longer recognised.
With or without a receipt, you can’t take fruit or vegetables that are at risk from fruit fly into the Riverland.
Plan your trip
Avoid a fine – pack thoughtfully. Use the quarantine bins at entry points to the Riverland, or eat any fruit and vegetables that are a fruit fly risk before reaching the Riverland.
Even better, buy when you arrive! Local shops will still be selling a full range of fruit and veg, and you’ll be supporting local businesses as well as protecting our $1.3 billion horticulture industry vulnerable to fruit fly.
Fruit and vegetables commercially brought into the Riverland have had the right treatment applied so they can be brought in for sale in the Riverland Pest Free Area. Fruit and vegetables sold outside the Riverland may not have had the right treatment applied for this region, which is why you can no longer bring them into the Riverland.
Fruit fly outbreaks in SA mean there are additional restrictions on moving fruit and vegetables around, so make sure you find out what you can’t carry with you, and other information on SA quarantine, by visiting the fruit fly website or calling the Fruit Fly Hotline on 1300 666 010.
What you can’t bring
This change applies to the fruit and vegetables at risk from fruit fly.
Some examples of what you can’t bring include:
- Stone fruits such as apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums and cherries
- Citrus such as oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit and cumquats
- Fruiting vegetables including tomatoes, capsicums, chillies, eggplant and tamarillo
- Pome fruits such as apples, pears and quinces
- Loquats, figs and feijoas
- Tropical fruits such as bananas, avocados and mangoes.
Check the full list
What you can bring
There is some produce you can bring into the Riverland, this is because it’s not at risk of being infested by fruit fly.
Some examples include:
- Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach and kale
- Brassica crops like cauliflower, cabbages and broccoli
- Onions, carrots and potatoes
- Watermelons and pumpkins
- Canned, frozen or cooked fruit.
Check the full list
What happens if you are caught with fruit and vegetables
If you are caught with fruit and vegetables that are a fruit fly risk, your produce will be seized and you may be fined.
More information
Visit the fruit fly website or call the Fruit Fly Hotline on 1300 666 010.

NAVIGATE TOGETHER
NAVIGATING THE ROCK AND THE HARD PLACE
Helping to build the capacity and resilience of farmers (men and women), farming families, and rural communities.
ACT For AG Online Training Course
Farming life is full of uncertainty and unpredictability. Psychological Flexibility helps us to adapt our behaviours and choose to do what matters, even when it’s tough. We might not always be able to choose what happens to us, we don’t have control over when it rains or what the sheep prices do, but we do have control over the choices we make every day. ACT for Ag helps put in place the building blocks of resilience and wellbeing, to learn to do what matters and respond with flexibility, to learn to thrive in adversity.In building your skills in psychological flexibility you will:
Notice and observe your own experiences
Unhook from challenging and uncomfortable thoughts and feelings
Take the steps that move you towards what’s most important to you.
Throughout the program you will also explore your own personal values, defining how you want to show up as a person, even during the tough times.
From the framework, you will gain a new perspective that you can also introduce to others when they may be struggling in difficult situations.
ACT for Ag is based on Acceptance and Commitment Training, previous research has shown that this training can help people to:
- reduce the impact of difficult thoughts and feelings on well-being, behaviour and performance;
- untangle from work related worry and rumination away from work
- build their personal resilience, enabling an alternative response to stressful situations,
- improve their ability to live in the present moment (rather than being excessively entangled in thoughts about the past or future),
- improve their focus and concentration,
- improve their personal reactions to the experience of organisational change recognise the choice over the actions available in different areas of their lives.
