Truro, the olive capital of South Australia launches new website.

01/Sep/2009

The Truro community, part of the famous Barossa Valley region of South Australia has officially launched its own website

The community announced the launch at the Annual General Meeting of the Truro and District Community Association who will manage the new website:  http://www.truro.sa.au/

Accoording to website manager Chris Fox, “We feel that Truro, like other rural towns in and around the Barossa Valley, can take advantage of a web presence in a number of ways. Local businesses and organisations now have a way to promote their interests and activities online and generate additional traffic to their own websites through our links.”

The Truro and District Community Association will use the new site to store public records such as newsletters, agendas and meeting minutes. The website will become an integral part of informing the community about local events and news such as upcoming zoning review panels, information on developments such as an Integrated Water Management Plan now in progress, plans for new parks and other council works.

“An important part of the website structure will be input from local sources using the Community Site in a Box website building tool provided by auCD. The Truro branch of the Australian Red Cross and the local Country Fire Service brigade already have pages started and the local basketball and cricket clubs will be developing theirs soon.

“We also hope to have pages from informal groups such as local youth who would like to have a permanent skateboard/bike facility in the town. We are all volunteers in the Association and we won’t have time to maintain a growing website by ourselves. We will train members of local organisations on how to create and maintain their individual pages or sections of the website and keep them up to date. “ adds Mr. Fox.
