At this time of year, you may hear the distinctive call of the Boobook Owl at night 🦉

More often heard than seen, staff were lucky enough to recently spot this Boobook Owl resting in a nearby tree at Jubilee Park in Glandore.

Trees provide valuable habitat, shelter and food for local wildlife, making an important contribution to urban biodiversity. It’s always exciting to see native wildlife making themselves at home in local parks and reserves.

If you have a significant or regulated tree, you might be interested in our Significant and Regulated Tree Assistance Rebate. The rebate helps cover the cost of professional arborist services, such as pruning.

Can you help us make a difference this August? 🩷

During the month of August we're supporting Share the Dignity; a charity dedicated to ending period poverty by helping women and girls by providing essential period products to those experiencing homelessness, domestic violence or doing it tough.

By simply adding a pack of sanitary products to your weekly shop, you can directly support women who need it most.

A donation box will be available in the West Torrens Library foyer throughout August. Every contribution makes a real impact.

We accept products in original packaging (unopened packets), including pads, tampons, reusable pads, period un**es, menstrual cups and incontinence products.

Thank you for your support

REMINDER: National AusAlert test today, Monday 27 July 📱

The Australian Government will run a test of AusAlert today, Monday 27 July, a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages.

In South Australia, compatible devices such as mobile phones, tablets and smart watches will receive a test alert at 1.30pm ACST.

During the test your device will vibrate and include a loud, siren-like sound that lasts about 10 seconds.

If this could disrupt you or cause you or a loved one to feel unsafe, please turn off your mobile devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time, and leave them off for at least one hour.
