  • Just Add Water Evaluation 2012 – 2014
    Report to Country Arts SA, Australia Council, Arts SA and Alexandrina Council Just Add Water Evaluation 2012 – 2014 Greg Hatcher, GastroSkeletal, from Contemperate Ephemeral Sculpture Trail, Middleton 2014. Photo: Meg Winen Christine Putland – Research Consultant April 2015 About This Report In 2012 the Alexandrina Council hosted the third Regional Centre of Culture (RCC) program in South Australia, the previous two having been held in Port Augusta (2008) and Murray Bridge (2010). Managed by Country Arts SA on behalf of the South Australian government, the RCC model aimed to contribute to building a strong and resourceful community and improving wellbeing through arts and cultural development. In Alexandrina the program was named Just Add Water, reflecting the community’s unique and precious relationship with the rivers, lakes, sea and wetlands in the region. Country Arts SA commissioned an independent evaluation of the 2012 program documenting the many positive outcomes for the community. The 2012 Evaluation Report by Dr Christine Putland can be found on the website here. Based on the success of Just Add Water in 2012 it was nominated for a further two years funding by the Australia Council for the Arts, Cultural Places Initiative as one of two pilots, the other being Rockhampton in Queensland. A further evaluation of Just Add Water until the end of 2014 was undertaken to ascertain progress towards the goals of the Cultural Places Initiative. This Report supplements the 2012 findings and is based on the evaluation conducted during 2014 by Dr Christine Putland.

  • Chapter 3: Water and Biodiversity in South Australia
    3 Water and biodiversity in South Australia 3.1 As the driest state in the driest inhabited continent in the world,1 South Australia received considerable attention at the height of the drought experienced by southeastern Australia from 1997 to 2009, the worst drought in the 110-year instrumental record.2 The impact on the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth (CLLMM) region, in particular, was a major focal point. Located at the downstream end of the Murray–Darling River system, there was concern that the drought, combined with the over-allocation of water resources upstream, had severely compromised the region’s internationally significant biodiversity. 3.2 Some of the environmental impacts of the drought have abated since 2009. However, many of the challenges for the region remain, and these were part of the focus of the Committee’s site inspections in the CLLMM region on 16 May 2012. 3.3 Apart from this focus, the Committee was interested to see the development of innovative practices for the sustainable use of water resources and the protection of biodiversity assets. On 17 May 2012, the Committee inspected the constructed Greenfields Wetlands, which contribute to addressing concerns about the availability of water from the River Murray and the potential ecological impacts of stormwater run-off on marine ecosystems. 1 Government of South Australia, ‘Importance of water’, <http://www.sa.gov.au/subject/Water,+energy+and+environment/Water/Water+resources +in+SA/Importance+of+water> viewed 9 October 2012. 2 B Timbal, ‘The continuing decline in South-East Australian rainfall: update to May 2009’ in PA Sandery, T Leeuwenburg, G Wang and AJ Hollis (eds), CAWCR Research Letters, issue 2, July 2009, Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, Melbourne, 2009, pp.
