Alexandrina Council

Langhorne Creek has been busily shaping its tourism future, with local leaders and operators coming together at Lake Breeze last week to explore how the Langhorne Creek Discovery Trail can be brought to life. Run by The Tourism Collective, the workshop brought strong collaboration between local businesses, regional partners and Council. Conversations focused on the stories that make Langhorne Creek unique – from its deep connection to water and landscape to its proud winemaking heritage, strong community ties and long-standing Indigenous connection to Country. Like the Trail itself, the tourism workshop was a community-led effort, driven by the Project Partnership Group, comprising Langhorne Creek Grape and Wine Association, the Langhorne Creek Hub, the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal Corporation and Alexandrina Council. The session marks an important step in planning for the Trail’s activation, with insights to inform a Tourism Development Plan which will then be advanced by the local-driven Project Partnership Group. With the Trail set to become a major drawcard by 2027, Langhorne Creek is well placed to grow visitation, strengthen partnerships and build on its unique identity as a tourism destination.

🔦Community Spotlight on Langhorne Creek Grape and Wine. 🏆 Alexandrina Council is a proud sponsor of the Langhorne Creek Wine Show. We’ve been supporting this fantastic event for more than five years. This year's event in early May was another great day. Held at Bleasdale Vineyards, the show brought together a strong crowd, great food and an outstanding showcase of wines. It was also a valuable opportunity for our team working on the Langhorne Creek Discovery Trail to connect in person with the community and celebrate the region’s future. General Manager Infrastructure Alan Harvey spoke on behalf of Council, highlighting our ongoing partnership with the wine industry and the Discovery Trail's importance in supporting tourism and local business growth. Congratulations to all the winners 👏 📷 The multi-award-winning team from Bleasdale Vineyards - Scott Hocking, Sarah Keough, Sam Rowlands, Nicole Brasier and Patrick Thackeray.

🧑🤝🧑🧑🤝🧑Happy Harmony Week from everyone at Alexandrina Council! Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. 🧡 It is a time for Australians to recognise and celebrate cultural diversity and the many backgrounds that make our communities vibrant, During the week, our Libraries and Council Offices celebrated Harmony Week with a display of books celebrating cultural diversity and a bowl of fresh fruit and nibbles - orange coloured, of course! 📷 Today, Council staff wore something orange into the office, and we held our own 'Cultural Morning Tea' with a plate to share - either from our own cultural heritage or some Aussie favourites. It was a time of good food, great conversations and a celebration of diversity. The message of this year's Harmony Week is "everyone belongs". This message of respect and belonging can be lived every day - not just during Harmony Week. To check out other Council events, coming up, head to https://lnkd.in/efAghukT
