PN. YOUR MAYOR & COUNCILLORS
Elected Member chat. Q: What is a fond memory of your neighbourhood in Playford?
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.
Supporting your neighbours is extremely valuable, especially for those who are vulnerable. I had an elderly neighbour who I always checked on, took him groceries and supported by doing housework. By doing simple actions to support one another builds a loving community. Cr Cathy-Jo Tame | 0478 283 875 crcjtame@playford.sa.gov.au
Ward Two.
I have many great memories growing up in Elizabeth East. There were many young families on our street, the kids would ride and race their bikes up and down. We would also play together and climb the trees in the reserve at the end of our street. Mayor Glenn Docherty 0413 219 868 mayordocherty@playford.sa.gov.au
I remember being involved with the Virginia Expo as a student in the 90s. The event showcased SA’s best fruit and vegetable produce over a weekend filled with carnival rides, food and a myriad of stalls. The event put both Virginia and Playford in the spotlight. Cr Peter Rentoulis (Deputy Mayor) 0417 016 146 crarentoulis@playford.sa.gov.au
A fond memory of growing up in Playford as a kid was the time spent outdoors with my friends from the local community. Playing in our local parks, riding to our local shops and playing cricket on the road. Social interaction amongst our neighbourhoods is vital.

Ward two covers the suburbs of Munno Para Downs, Munno Para West, Munno Para, Smithfield and Blakeview; and part of the suburb of Hillier.
When my son was little, we frequented the Elizabeth Dauntsey Reserve many times during late afternoons because it was close to where we lived at that time. He ran around happily playing with other children. A simple pleasure but it created memories for him and I. Cr Jane Onuzans | 0432 251 207 creonuzans@playford.sa.gov.au PAGE 12 | playford.sa.gov.au
I remember neighbours watching out for other neighbours when there’s been someone in need or simply gone away for a few days. Cr Stephen Coppins | 0478 283 876 crscoppins@playford.sa.gov.au
I lived in Elizabeth West from 1964 to 1976. Everybody knew each other in the street and we cared and watched out for each other. We often had cups of tea and the children played together. I have many fond memories and have kept in touch with many over the years. Cr Gay Smallwood-Smith 0417 016 163 crgsmallwoodsmith@playford.sa.gov.au
