MY SALISBURY COUNCIL SERVICES HIGHLIGHTED ON FILM EARLIER this year, Council embarked upon a short film project involving the community. The film provides an insight in to the vast range of different services that Council provides for the Salisbury community. ‘Roads, rates and rubbish’! That’s what Councils are mostly known for. But the City of Salisbury hopes that a new short film will help residents understand how rates are used by Council to provide a huge variety of different services, most of which are freely accessible to local residents. Involving local people and locations in and around Salisbury, filming took place over three days and shows how four characters access the many different Council services during a typical day living and working in Salisbury. From our young adult, Crystal, who recycles her papers and walks her dog in a local dog park, to Sarah, our mum, who, after her son’s tennis lesson at Salisbury Recreation Precinct, visits the Mawson Lakes Library. We also see Julio, a local resident and business owner, highlighting the support Council provides for businesses, and then Rup Kumar, an elderly citizen who accesses our community centres with the help of a volunteer driver. The film, made by Kinetic Films, has been given a voiceover describing some of the highlights of Council services whilst additional graphics point out some of the more detailed aspects of services you receive and have access to in Salisbury. The City of Salisbury would like to thank everyone involved in the film; Crystal Vas, Salisbury Youth Council member; Julio Cordero, local business owner; local residents Sarah and Hudson Poppy, Rup Kumar Ghaley, Sheryel and Trevor Donlon, Angela and Gabriel Booth; Kamal Dahal volunteer driver; members of the Filipino Walking Group; members of the Penfield Tennis Club; members of the Bhutanese community; and staff and families of the City of Salisbury. i The three minute film is available to view on the City of Salisbury’s website at www.salisbury.sa.gov.au or on the Council’s YouTube page at www.youtube.com.au/cityofsalisbury www.salisbury.sa.gov.au | SALISBURY AWARE | SUMMER 2013 | 5
