Yakka Vote for Lucindale

Council has opened up a community vote on the style of Yakka to be installed on the new Town Entrance Statements for Lucindale.

To read the full Media Release, CLICK HERE.

The Yakka proposed for the project (Option 1 - pictured top left) is an extract of the Naracoorte Lucindale Council logo and the result of previous public consultation on the Town Entrance concept designs. The intent was to refresh and modernise the Yakka for installation on the Entrance Statements. This option was voted the most popular at the time with 46.4% of the 72 submissions received.

The second Yakka (Option 2 - pictured top right) was designed in 1977 when a competition was held for the design of a Lucindale emblem to be used in time for the 100-year celebrations of the Lucindale Council (1978). The winner was Lucindale student Jan Wilson. The significance of the logo is that the area of Lucindale was covered in Yakkas before land clearing began. The emblem was formerly registered as the district logo by the Lucindale Council.

Whatever Yakka is voted most popular will be installed.

Voting opened on Monday 8 August 2022 and will close on Friday 2 September 2022. Online voting is strongly encouraged; however, hard-copy forms are available from the Lucindale Deli and Council Offices in Lucindale and Naracoorte. Hard-copy forms are also being posted out to all residents in the Lucindale district.
