2022 AND THE RAINS CAME TUMBLING DOWN
The start of January has seen a large rainfall event around the region. While the rain was indeed most welcome the large volume has caused some significant damage to roads and the need for a major clean up. An adventurous trip for Ambulance Officer Megan Burt and Leigh Creek Health Nurse Taryn Carey who required a helicopter retrieval with their patient after the Ambulance became bogged near Depot Springs Station. A big thanks to all involved in supporting these
guys through the situation.
DM Roads were extremely prompt in their assistance of cleaning up around Leigh Creek particularly near the school where the rock mulch was quite a problem from the creek flooding. Thanks to DM Road’s Damien Bowshire for his excellent work with the street Damien tackling the cleaning up sweeper and bucket.
DELTA CEREMONY AS PROJECT WORKS COMMENCE
The Delta Group are now familiar to the Leigh Creek community, with its Adelaide and local based teams based at Leigh Creek for 10 days a fortnight working on the demolition of dilapidated houses in the demolition zones.
On 20 January, Delta’s Community Engagement Officer, Clint Wilson (aka Booka) facilitated and led an opening smoking ceremony at Canon Park with Adnyamathanha people. The Welcome to Country, story of the Yurlu- an extremely important part of Adnyamathanha culture, was delivered by Terry Coulthard and family-Iga Warta, in attendance included community members from Lyndhurst, Nepabunna, Copley, Beltana, KSJ Consulting and Delta subcontractors.
Local Theresa Brady together with family members organized a BQ banquet for all to enjoy, which helped to make the ceremony proceedings that much more special. Terrance, Beverley, Clint, June and Petar Delta will be one of the presentations at the Community Conversation Meeting on Thursday 10th February, on the COVID processes they have in place for the Leigh Creek and wider community.
