The Association had its beginnings as a Progress Association in late 1854. At a public meeting in early 1924 a Port Elliot Town and Foreshore Improvement Committee was formed, eventually becoming an incorporated body.
Following our AGM, the following Members have been elected as your PETFIA Committee:
Great to see the Jetty back and available. Well done Alexandrina Council and the contractors. Now if we can just get the 'Joe Barton Steps' plaque found and replaced on the jetty steps.....
Great to see the refurbished turnstiles back in the Soldiers Gardens; and the replacement Garden Shed for the Gardens is on the go. Again, Well Done Alexandrina Council.
We still await a formal date for the Draft Plan to be formally presented to Port Elliot ratepayers, residents, and businesses for their feedback on the Plan's content and suitability with regard to our towns long expressed wishes. Council recently indicated that the draft Plan will be updated to include outcomes from the Village Consultation conducted October 2023, and will be presented to Council in "the next few months" for their approval.
In November 2023, the community of Port Elliot was invited to participate in Council's 'Village Conversations' program. The results of the consultations were presented to Council at the 18 March 2024 meeting. Port Elliot communities' input to the program has been summarised in the agenda for the meeting at Pages 136-149, and can be viewed via the following link here.
