NEWS TIPS newsroom@tbw.com.au NEWS 7 Bypass tops priority list Penola development key short-term goal THE State Government has listed the Penola bypass as one of its highest road infrastructure priorities for the region. Wattle Range Mayor Peter Gandolfi has praised the government for listing the project as the number one shortterm item for the region in its new Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan. HOPING FOR A HOME: Olivia Harrison from the South East Animal Welfare League with Sprightly the dog, who will be hoping to fi nd a new home during the SEAWL Paws Around the Blue Lake on Sunday. Pet owners step out to help abandoned animals SOUTH East pet owners and their four-legged friends will hit the pavement this weekend to raise money for lost and abandoned animals across the region. The annual South East Animal Welfare League’s (SEAWL) Paws Walk Around the Blue Lake will kick off on Sunday morning, with all money raised going towards the ongoing costs of running the shelter. “We’re looking forward to building on the success of last year’s Paws Walk, which attracted around 350 people,” SEAWL secretary Anneliese Bates said. “We would love to see even more people attend, help raise money for a very worthy cause and take part in the day’s activities.” The popular event will be held at the old archery fi eld opposite the Blue Lake from 9.30am to 1pm, with registration for the walk open from 9.30am. “The walk around the Blue Lake is optional, so people have the opportunity to take a healthy walk with their pets or simply enjoy the chance to interact with other animals lovers,” Ms Bates said. As well as the popular walk around the Blue Lake, veterinarians will be on hand throughout the day to answer any pet-related questions, with discounted microchipping also on offer. Animal lovers can have pet portraits taken by a photographer, participate in fashions on the fi eld at noon and browse the many petrelated stalls set up on the day. “All animal lovers should come and enjoy the day with their pet, while helping raise money for such an important community service,” Ms Bates said. The money raised will not only go towards the dogs at the league but also the cats, with the facility’s cattery currently at full capacity. A dog will also be up for adoption on the day. The bypass was listed as the top priority for the Limestone Coast alongside duplicating the Dukes Highway, upgrades to aerodromes in Kingston, Naracoorte, Millicent and Bordertown, upgrades to boat ramps, jetties and wharves in Kingston and Beachport and upgrades to the Riddoch and Princes Highways, including road widening, shoulder sealing, overtaking lanes and rest areas. “Seeing the State Government make the Penola bypass its fi rst priority in the Limestone Coast is heartening,” Mr Gandolfi said. “It reinforces the State Government’s commitment to our region.” Mr Gandolfi said the council had acquired the corridor of land required for the bypass and “all legal action has been exhausted so we’re ready to proceed”. “Council has completed its role in the bypass, so now it is a matter of the state and federal governments committing to funding and construction,” he said. “The State Government has made a commitment to provide funding for the fi rst stage of the bypass. “An unallocated amount was outlined in the budget for this fi nancial year. “We hope to get an announcement with more details on the funding before the end of the calendar year and I predict work could commence next year.” Premier Jay Weatherill emphasised the importance of prioritising projects to strengthen the Limestone Coast region. “The region has some of our prime tourist attractions and its roads carry signifi cant amounts of freight bound for key markets nationally and internationally,” he said. “Upgrading the region’s transport infrastructure will make it easier and safer for local businesses to transport freight, for tourists wanting to visit this idyllic part of the world and for locals who use these roads every day. “People living in the Limestone Coast should get involved during the consultation period and have their say about transport infrastructure priorities for the region’s future.” For more information call 1800 767 254 or visit www.transportplan.sa.gov. au.
