Council to work alongside bed and breakfasts
“Following relaxation of requirements by the State government several years ago, the increasing popularity of Airbnb and a growing range of other online booking platforms, we have seen a steady rise in accommodation providers coming into the market,” he said.
“We urge operators who may be unsure about what is required for their business to get in touch with us so we can assist.”
Mr McCarthy stressed Council wants to work in partnership with B&B operators to get the best outcomes.
“We want to give them the right advice so we can be assured our accommodation venues across the board are providing visitors with the required level of facilities.”
Existing and prospective B&B operators are encouraged to call Council on 8563 8444 for further information or to make an appointment with a Council officer.

Barossa's Boundary Conversation
In having this conversation it is critical to remember that the possibility of boundary reform isn’t about one Council ‘taking over’ another, but instead is about what is best in the long term for the communities that Council represent.
It is worth noting, that the decision to alter boundaries cannot be made by a Council itself – it is a lengthy process (at least 12 -24 months or more) in which much analysis and consultation is undertaken to ensure all financial, economic and social factors are thoroughly investigated both at a community, Council and Commission level.
The Barossa Council is in good stead with more than sufficient land for long term development, is highly financially sustainable, and therefore is well placed to consider strategic connections and above all, listening to the broad community and if the results are supportive uniting the Barossa communities one of common interest.

Shop Barossa's Trail of Treasures
There’s no better feeling than finding some pre-loved treasure at a bargain price and this year’s Garage Sale Trail in the Barossa on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 October, is shaping up to be the biggest sustainable shopping extravaganza ever with more than 400,000 people expected to participate across 18,000+ garage sales nationally.
Garage Sale Trail Co-Founder Andrew Valder said, “With thousands of listings on the Garage Sale Trail there’s a wealth of weird and wonderful things for sale!”
Garage Sale Trail provides thousands of Australians with a chance to re-home items that may otherwise end up in landfill. According to the Gumtree’s 2019 Secondhand Economy Report, 89% of Australians have unwanted stuff and 33% admit to throwing unwanted items in the bin.
Barossa’s youngest residents have already got into the Garage Sale Trail spirit through the local libraries Garage Sale Trail colouring competition – congratulations to Emily Thompson (12), Brock Thompson (10) and Rachael Wilson (5) on their winning entries - and themed Story Time activities, which have helped to educate on the benefits of reusing and recycling.
