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.
