Shedley Theatre launches Centre Stage

They’re kicking off the series with Matt Byrne of Matt Byrne Media who was due to present 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert – The Musical' in the Shedley Theatre in July.

The YouTube series will feature a range of South Australian talent and provide valuable insight into the local entertainment industry.

Watch the first episode on Friday, 8 May at midday on their YouTube channel 'Shedley TV.'

Playford gets into the 'Anzac Spirit'

We may not have been able to come together to commemorate our past and present servicemen and women this year, but this didn't stop you from marking Anzac Day 2020.

We were overwhelmed by the number of people in Playford who took part in the 'Light Up the Dawn' campaign. Thank you for sharing photos of you and your family marking Anzac Day 2020 with us on our Facebook page.

Check out the photos on our Anzac Day 2020 Facebook album.

Sharing the love to local artists

Virtual Career Workshops

Playford Library are bringing their Career Workshops online from Friday, 15 May.

During these small group workshops you will learn how to create resumes that are specific to the job you’re applying for and how to make your cover letter stand out.

The workshop begins at 10:30am, with a half an hour lunch break, before finishing at 2pm.

Workshops will take place on Zoom and bookings are essential via Eventbrite. Secure your place now!

Burning in the Open

From Friday, 1 May, you will need to secure a burning permit if you wish to burn in the open on your property. (Even on a large property you can’t burn wood or prunings without a permit.)

Coming into the cooler months, there are clear rules about what you can and can’t burn in your backyard and outdoors on your property in the City of Playford.

In the Adelaide metropolitan area (which includes all of Playford) you can’t have a bonfire or campfire. 📛 You CAN, however, have a fire pit, brazier, or chimenea with CHARCOAL as the fuel (not wood) for outdoor heating.

You are permitted a wood fire for the preparation of food or beverages - but it must be appropriate to the size of the food/drink you're preparing. For example, a wood bbq or pizza oven are fine to prepare a family meal, and to extinguish when the food is cooked.

Please read all details about burning on your property at our Fire Safety page at the link below - you can also apply for a Burning Permit from this link.

The EPA have put this burning policy into place to help minimise the impact of smoke in populated areas - for more information about this, click the EPA link below.

If you’re still unsure about what you are or are not allowed to burn, please call us on 8256 0333 to clarify.

Our Customer Care team has responded to more than 4,500 calls and 2,700 email or web chat enquiries over the past month.
