Over 80 Loxtonites were involved in an ideation process that preceded the development of the Loxton Community Vision. Through this ideation we identified a large number of potential projects that would benefit the community. Many of these projects were grouped into the following categories:
Youth and Agriculture
Tourism
Vibrant CBD
As a result LCFi formed work streams for each of these categories to progress projects where there was a strong appetite for implementation. Additional ideas for projects have emerged through the periodic Forums that are run by LCFi.
Projects Implemented include:
Activation of the former ANZ Bank building with a focus on the future of Loxton.
The Collective Loxton - a retail outlet for artisan micro-businesses that is based in East Terrace (more detail)
A Mini Silo Art Trail depicting local flora and fauna (more detail).
Current Projects in Development include:
A dedicated Aboriginal community garden complex, which recognises and celebrates the diversity and uniqueness of Aboriginal culture in the region - in partnership with our local aboriginal community.
‘Street Names Tell Stories’ bringing the work of Peter and Carla Magarey to life through QR code activation of stories behind the names of streets in Loxton.
A Silo Art installation at the grain silos in Alawoona to include a celebration of the life and career of Magarey medallist and Port Adelaide champion footballer, Russell Ebert.
A Heritage Art Trail
Capability development and entrepreneurship support for our youth.
