SA Water’s Post

Our Pirku-Itya Partnership Program is proud to build bonds through reconciliation projects across South Australia – including in the Eyre Peninsula township of Poonindie. There, the historic Poonindie Mission and Church is establishing a waterwise garden with locally native trees and plants, in consultation with descendants of mission residents and local First Nations people. The garden is just the start of a broader long-term vision that includes cultural interpretation, community and educational opportunities, truth telling, historical tourism and restoration works. Garden committee and Poonindie Anglican Church member Josie Hage said the support through Pirku-Itya and SA Water has helped turn long-held plans into action. “We feel very fortunate to receive this sponsorship. SA Water has been wonderful with advice and interest in what we’re doing here at Poonindie,” Josie said. “We have had plans for development and preservation of the church and former mission for quite some time, and receiving this generous sponsorship is the impetus for it to start happening.” Let your networks know – share with the great groups and organisations you work with and encourage them to apply: https://lnkd.in/gXJM9NWB
