'The Spit' Restoration Project 'The Spit' is a sandbar about 4 km offshore Kingscote. Years ago it was a wildlife haven with numerous seabird rookeries. In the 1960s it was demolished in an attempt to reduce the boxthorn problem on Kangaroo Island. We still have the boxthorns, but The Spit has not recovered. It would be great to restore The Spit to it's former glory. |
Traveller's Levy Kangaroo Island is a large island, approx 150 km long and 60 km wide, with a population of approximately 4,500 people, including children. It therefore has a very small ratepayer base. There are approximately 160,000 visitors per year travelling along our fairly extensive road network. Approximately one third of the island land area is national park and not rateable by council. The Kangaroo Island Council therefore finds it difficult to fund the maintenance required by such heavy usage of such a wide road network. To assist in funding this road maintenance, council has proposed a traveller's levy. What do you think... |
