Environment
Councils in South Australia play a key role in implementing environmental policies (both their own, or State Government driven).
The Local Government Association provides Councils with project support and a number of resources to assist them work collaboratively.
This category of information (established for website presentation) brings together key resources and information for Councils. Our site is under development and will expand to include information relating to:
Waste and Recycling
Environment Protection
Natural Resource Management
For information about specific services your Council provides in relation to any of these topic areas, contact the Council directly - to find contact information, click here.
