The South Australian Tourism Commission will be holding a forum focussing on the tourism online environment and social media on Thursday 15th of May at the Berri Resort Hotel. The morning program includes an update from Destination Riverland and the local Visitor Information Centre network about the latest local online opportunities for Riverland tourism businesses.

Council would like to remind residents that due to the Good Friday public holiday, Friday's bin collections will be delayed until Saturday this week (18/4/14).

Council wishes to advise the opening times of the Berri Office, Berri Visitor Information Centre, Barmera Library and Council Office and Berri Library and Information Centre over the Easter weekend.

If your group missed out on submitting an application during this round, you still have another opportunity later this calendar year.

The Berri Library will be holding a Baloon Themed school holiday programme which will run on Tuesday and Thursday these holidays.

National Youth Week 2014 saw young Berri Barmera Council residents sharing how they are making a difference on Instagram! Photos of people volunteering, umpiring, picking up rubbish, recycling and much more were being tagged and liked for 10 DAYS over National Youth Week! Congratulations to the winner of the Major Prize, Lauren Westley who took out the Ultimate Experience Pack of local things to do!
