Helping community people during the Xmas period
We’ve heard countless times this year about the housing and homelessness issue statewide, the Mid North is not immune to this. According to Uniting Country SA many people are experiencing homelessness for the first time or re-experiencing this due to housing stress, affordability, and the lack of private rental properties. Many people are couch surfing with family and friends, there are reports of people sleeping rough, in tents and in caravan parks. Uniting Country SA is trying to support people in these conditions but with limited housing options its proving to be extremely difficult.

You'll hear about some of the initiatives that are assisting people who are suffering socially, financially and mentally this Christmas including the Clare Valley Community Kitchen's Christmas lunch and the Clare Valley Christian Outreach Christmas Hampers.

Season 1 · Episode 27

Sunday, February 4, 2024 • Duration 34:14

Welcome back to another year of the Clare Valley Podcast 2024

With several deferrals finally behind us, the budget review has been passed. We recap on the details surrounding rising operating deficits and capital budget adjustments that affect us all.

The Clare and Gilbert Valley community continues to grapple with the housing rental crunch.

The implication of this local issue has never been more significant, particularly as we stare down the potential impact on beloved events like the Clare Gourmet Week.

Plus, Karen Pfitzner, Council Cemetery Administrator, joins us to provide a sensitive yet enlightening look into the evolving practices of cemetery management. From the shift towards cremation to the intricacies of interment rights, we're covering the solemn realities of honoring our departed loved ones.

We value your input, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts and stay connected by following, rating, or reviewing the Clare Valley Podcast. Keep an ear out for our next episode, where we continue to bring the heartbeat of local news straight to you.

Clare Valley Podcast - Riverton Xmas Pageant; Gleeson Wetlands carpark fumble; Budget review not passed...again.

Season 1 · Episode 26

Tuesday, December 19, 2023 • Duration 25:55

This podcast is brought to you by the Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council.

Riverton Christmas Pageant

The community of Riverton converged on the streets of the town for the annual Christmas pageant. Traditionally Riverton celebrates this time of year with a Xmas carnival on the town’s oval, but COVID restrictions forced them to change direction and introduce a pageant that travelled through the back streets of Riverton so residents could sit in their front yards and not miss out on Christmas festivities. Such a great idea! Fast forward to 2023, this sill happens with the 20 odd floats finishing up at Sholz Park where the party continues.

There were clowns on bikes, elves handing out honey biscuits, superheroes on back of utes, a santa travelling in a vintage car, balloons were popping, water bombs were thrown, kids were squealing, music playing, sirens blaring – the streets of Riverton sure did come alive!
This story featured children on the back of the Netball Club ute, Kerry Heinrich, Paige Rowett, Temika Heir, the boys from the Hawks Football Club, Santa and Santa's driver; Cindy Nolan, pageant organiser

Greater SA - Abbie Tiller and Melissa Smith

Have you seen all the social media around Greater SA. It’s a modern media platform that been created by two local Balaklava lasses to keep regional people connected to local news and regional stories that matter.
With many regional local papers either closing or merging to make bigger regional publications, those local stories are harder to come by…but that’s where Greater SA steps in.
While many media outlets have their own online presence, the difference with this one is, it features stories from right across the state; not just the Mid North, or the Southeast, or the Riverland and Mallee but from every corner of the state.

They are only three months into this new business venture and their website is overflowing with content.
