SPOT THE DIFFERENCE: When you think of bees, you think of honey. But did you know that there are hundreds of bee species native to South Australia – none of which live in swarms, produce honey, or have a queen? Meet the native bee, Australia’s homegrown pollinator. These quiet achievers are solitary creatures and are crucial to the pollination of many native plant species. The best part is that they are easy to invite into your garden!

WINDBACK WEDNESDAY: Did you know Redounau Crescent in Wattle Park is named after a type of olive?

The name links to the City of Burnside’s once-thriving olive industry. In the 1840s, Samuel Davenport imported olive truncheons from France and planted them at Beaumont, laying the foundations for Australia’s first commercial olive oil production. His award-winning olive oil was sold across Australia and exhibited internationally.

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE: Did you know Hazelwood Park's name is inspired by Hazelwood School in Birmingham, England?

In 1853, Francis and Caroline Clark purchased 45 acres and made their home at Hazelwood House, near what is now Olive Grove and Hawthorn Crescent. The house was built in 1847 for Deputy Surveyor General Thomas Burr and originally known as Grove Cottage. The house was renamed by the Clarks in honour of Hazelwood School, which was founded by Caroline's father Thomas Wright Hill.

In 1915, the Clarks sold their property to the State Government for a modest sum, under the condition that it would be preserved as a public park in perpetuity. Hazelwood Park was initially managed by the Tourist Bureau, before being transferred to Burnside Council in 1964.

Today Hazelwood Park welcomes thousands of visitors each week, with the George Bolton Swimming Centre being a major attraction since it opened in 1964. The reserve has an extensive network of paths with seating, barbecues and playground equipment and is a haven for thriving native wildlife. The all-access Wombat Waterhole playground caters for children of all ages and abilities, providing a diversity of play opportunities.

Hazelwood Park is just one of the many places in Burnside that make it easy to love where you live. Tell us what you love about living in the City of Burnside at https://engage.burnside.sa.gov.au/love-where-you-live/surveys/love-where-you-live

NEW AUSALERT SYSTEM: On 1 October 2026, AusAlert will become a vital part of Australia’s emergency warning systems.

AusAlert lets the Australian Government and emergency services organisations send alerts to compatible mobile devices. It’s just one of the many ways Australians can stay safer during local and national emergencies and disasters.

In an emergency, an AusAlert may be sent to your mobile device. It may vibrate and make a siren-like sound for about 10 seconds.

The alert may contain information such as:

● the type of emergency (for example, bushfire or flood)
● where it is
● how serious it is
● the actions you need to take
● where more information can be found
● the name of the organisation that sent the message.
