Snip the straps!
Don’t forget to cut your mask straps before you bin them to help protect our wildlife. Disposable face masks are providing great protection for humans during the pandemic. At the same time, they are having a not so great impact on a wide range of animals, mostly due to strap entanglement. To help our wildlife also make it safely through the pandemic, please cut the straps of your masks before you put them in the bin!
Weekly Round Up 6 August 2021
Colour our Town Take a look at our SALA exhibition!
From children and young adults, baby boomers and retirees to the elderly and social isolated – Town of Walkerville residents have put on their creative caps to colour, paint and draw the Township with their own artistic vision. People of all ages and abilities contributed to this outdoor exhibition displayed on the white picket fence along Walkerville Oval on Smith Street.
Drum roll please… Levi Park is officially open to the community
A new table tennis table, picnic setting and barbeque have been installed at Levi Park. Temporary fencing was taken down on Wednesday and the area was opened to the community.
Council is pleased with the development of this little pocket gem off Lansdowne Terrace in Vale Park. It is easily accessible on our footpath network while on your daily stroll. Why not come along to have a barbecue at the picnic setting or a hit of table tennis?
Weekly Round Up 6 August 2021
2021 Census --- Tuesday 10 August 2021 Census data is used to build a better future for us all.
Every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics counts every person and household in Australia. Census data is used to inform decisions on issues that touch our lives every day, from schools, healthcare, transport and infrastructure to local services for individuals, families and communities. For example:
• the number of people in remote areas tells doctors where life-saving help is needed most
• local birth rates help plan local playgroups that connect families • understanding languages used at home links migrants to community services
like English lessons.
The data from the 2021 Census will be more important than ever. It will provide valuable insights into how the pandemic has changed life in Australia.
Every household and person in Australia on Census night must be included, including visitors to Australia, international students and babies.
Instructions were delivered to households in early August. You can start your Census as soon as you receive them, if you know where you will be on Census night, Tuesday 10 August.
You can complete online, by paper, or with help from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
All personal information collected is kept safe and is not shared with anyone. You and your family cannot be identified by the information you put on your Census.
Visit www.census.abs.gov.au or call 1800 512 441 for more information.
For help in your language, call the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS National) on 131 450.

Weekly waste tip Masks need to be placed in the General Waste to Landfill Bin.
Council’s waste provider East Waste has been receiving enquiries about possible recycling options for face masks.
Q: Is recycling an option?
A: Although recycling options have been considered – such as the Zero Waste disposable mask boxes, offered through TerraCycle – recycling masks is not considered to be a safe or practical solution. With many messages out there at the moment, we do not want to confuse people into thinking they can place masks in their yellow recycle bins. This will cause contamination issues.
🚮🚮🚮🚮 We can AVOID waste in the first place:
🏡🏡 By staying at home we can minimise the need to use face masks, gloves and hand sanitiser.
😷😷 Choose to use a reusable and washable cloth mask. You may even consider making your own face masks from old fabric or clothing that you have at home. Click here to find out how.
✂ If you are using a disposable mask, please ensure that you cut the elastic straps before disposing of it, to minimise impacts on wildlife, if the mask escapes the bin.
