PN. YOUR MAYOR & COUNCILLORS
Elected Member chat. Q: What does being an active citizen mean to you?
Ward One.
Ward one covers the suburbs of Angle Vale, Buckland Park, Virginia, Eyre, Penfield, Penfield Gardens, MacDonald Park, Andrews Farm and Smithfield Plains; and part of the suburbs of Edinburgh North and Waterloo Corner.
Donating your time to community groups and organisations such as Playford Women’s Shed and Cos We Care is an opportunity to get to know your community. You can make long lasting friendships and hand out food to those in need. Cr Cathy-Jo Tame | 0478 283 875 crcjtame@playford.sa.gov.au
Ward Two.
I encourage everyone to be an active citizen, for me, volunteering over many years with St John Ambulance SA, Rotary and on local school governing councils is how I engage as an active citizen. Mayor Glenn Docherty 0413 219 868 mayordocherty@playford.sa.gov.au
It means giving my time to help others and not expect anything in return, being involved in various local community groups and advocating on their behalf to secure better services. It also means being a part of local community events and sporting clubs. Cr Peter Rentoulis (Deputy Mayor) 0417 016 146 crarentoulis@playford.sa.gov.au
Being involved in sporting clubs, resident associations or charity organisations is important. This builds community connections and assists with providing much needed services to the more broader community. Nothing better than being involved and giving back. Cr Clint Marsh | 0478 283 874 crcmarsh@playford.sa.gov.au
Ward two covers the suburbs of Munno Para Downs, Munno Para West, Munno Para, Smithfield and Blakeview; and part of the suburb of Hillier.
It’s about what one values in life. I intentionally got involved in a local church and social groups / events and intentionally looked for ways I can be of assistance in the delivery of the service in a consistent safe manner to better the lives of the community. Cr Jane Onuzans | 0432 251 207 creonuzans@playford.sa.gov.au PAGE 20 | playford.sa.gov.au
Being an active citizen means being engaged with your Elected Members, Council and local community organisations, groups and clubs such as Rotary, Lions, etc. Cr Stephen Coppins | 0478 283 876 crscoppins@playford.sa.gov.au
Being an active citizen allows me to have my finger on the pulse of what is happening in my community. This occurs because I am a Councillor, Justice of the Peace and a Rotarian. I am in touch with the residents in my community. Cr Gay Smallwood-Smith 0417 016 163 crgsmallwoodsmith@playford.sa.gov.au
