Macca is coming to Renmark!

Renmark will welcome one of Australia’s best-known radio personalities, Ian “Macca” McNamara, to the Taylor Riverfront Precinct on Sunday, 13 September.

Best known as the host of ABC Radio’s Australia All Over, Macca has spent decades travelling the country and chatting with Australians about anything and everything. From 5.00am to 10.00am, he will broadcast live from Renmark’s stunning riverfront, sharing local stories and conversations with listeners across Australia.

The Rotary Club of Renmark will be there to welcome early risers with a sausage sizzle and will provide facilities to help keep those waiting to speak with Macca comfortable.
Renmark Paringa Council is proud to support this special event and encourages residents and visitors to come along, enjoy the atmosphere and help showcase our wonderful community to the nation.

Please note that the Taylor Riverfront Precinct water fountain will be turned off during the broadcast. With a warm day forecasted, Council will ensure the fountain is switched back on once the broadcast ends.

Event details:
Date: Sunday, 13 September
Time: 5.00am–10.00am
Location: Taylor Riverfront Precinct, Renmark

Come down, grab a sausage and join Macca for a memorable morning on Renmark’s stunning riverfront!

🏆🏉 Paringa Oval is Grand Final ready! 🏉🏆

It’s been a challenging year for Renmark Paringa Council’s Open Space Team, with unprecedented rainfall creating plenty of challenges when it comes to keeping our ovals and open spaces in top condition.

But their hard work has paid off, with Paringa Oval looking absolutely spectacular ahead of this Saturday’s Murray Valley Football Netball League Grand Final! 🌱👏

The team has been busy with a range of preparation works, including mowing, fertilising, rabbit control, divot repairs, red sand application and turf treatments to give the playing surface the best possible finish.

And seeing the oval in such great shape is even more special with the mighty Paringa Swans taking on Brown’s Well in the big game.

We’ll also have one of our own out on the field, with Council’s Fraser Peters pulling on the red and white! ❤️🤍

Good luck to all the footballers and netballers competing on the day. We hope everyone has a fantastic Grand Final and enjoys a great day of local sport!
