INTRODUCTION The Coorong District Council comprises 8,836 square kilometers of mainly rural land serviced by the towns of Tailem Bend, Meningie, Tintinara and Coonalpyn and other smaller settlements. The resident population of the District is 6,000, with about half that number being concentrated in the towns. At any time the travelers on the main highways swell the actual number of persons in the area. Three highways being Dukes Highway, Princes Highway and Mallee Highway pass through the District carrying heavy and general traffic between South Australia and the eastern states. The Council maintains a total of 1,800 kilometers of unsealed and sealed roads throughout the District. The Adelaide - Melbourne railway line divides the District and is met by two regional feeder lines mainly carrying grain to Tailem Bend for storage and eventual movement by rail to Port Adelaide. The area has a growing tourism focus as people seek out the natural environment that is available through the extensive National Parks, which are a feature of the district. The Coorong National Park from which the District takes its name is of world significance as a wetland of international importance. Refer Appendix –1 & 5 When considering the Terms of Reference a significant numbers of areas could be addressed and we will touch on a few of those in the latter half of the submission.

  • Environment Business
    Good for Environment Good for Business Volume V Environment Protection Authority Good for Environment | Good for Business Foreword The Environment Protection Authority is South Australia’s independent environmental regulator. Our role is to protect, restore and improve the environment, and safeguard the health and wellbeing of the community by authorising and regulating activities that may have an environmental impact, carrying out monitoring, and enforcing environmental legislation. The EPA licenses more than 1500 South Australian businesses, institutions and agencies under the Environment Protection Act 1993. This takes in private enterprise as well as government bodies, and covers activities from winemaking and curing meat, to mining and the transport and processing of waste. All licensees are required to meet their environmental obligations through efficient and effective practices, and we ensure that we support them to continually develop and adopt cleaner, more sustainable production technologies. The EPA is also committed to unlocking the state’s future potential, including creating jobs and encouraging innovation through modern regulatory and policy approaches. It is important to us that we not only protect the environment, but that we also provide certainty, fairness and the opportunity for innovation for the sectors we regulate. It is encouraging to learn of the innovative practices our licensees are developing and implementing, and we are proud to present an annual snapshot of them in this publication, Good for Environment, Good for Business. These are just some of the many South Australian organisations that are leading the way by putting in place creative solutions that result in outcomes that strongly benefit their local communities.

  • Mid Murray Council.Pdf
    __/ Mid v--- Murray Council FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR Ref: 5/LIA/1/MM 15 December 2020 Mr Michael Lennon Chair State Planning Commission GPO Box 1815 ADELAIDE SA 5001 Dear Mr Lennon, Consultation Submission – Revised Planning and Design Code Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment on the revised Planning and Design Code. Mid Murray Council are a Phase 3 Council and see this as the final opportunity to ensure our local policy, particularly, as it relates to the sensitive River Murray environment is not lost or eroded. Please find below a detailed submission which has been endorsed by Council’s Strategic Planning and Policy Development Committee, as well as the full Council. Preamble The purpose of this submission is threefold, firstly to consider the new Zones of the Code and how certain Zones and Policy Areas (within the Development Plan) are to be transitioned, and consider whether the ‘right’ choice has been made for the Zone. If not, suggestions are tabled as to what might be a more suitable Zone given the context outlined. Secondly, the submission seeks to flesh out whether there are opportunities in limited circumstances where there is obvious disparity between the existing built form and landscape character to the zoning intent of the current Zone or Policy Area, and in these circumstances consider an appropriate Zone in the Code that might be more reflective and cognisant of the existing situation and perhaps sway away from unrealistic policy of the current Zone in the context to a more appropriate Code Zone. For example, parts of the Urban Waterfront (Floodplain) Zone containing dwellings and riverfront residential allotments being transitioned to a Recreation Zone (which contemplates, among other things, sporting grounds) would appear to suggest an alternative Zone might be appropriate.

It covers a large area in excess of 50,000 km2 taking in the areas from the Riverland in the north, agriculture areas in the central, west, south and east along the Victorian border, and south westerly to the coast and lakes.

The Region has a population base of approximately 68,000 (approx. 4.6% of the State population). The Murray River, and its associated wetlands and wildlife, Lake Bonney and a number of National/Conservation Parks, support a range of rare and endangered plant and animal species, and are major tourist attractions throughout parts of the Riverland and Mallee. Towards the coast, the Coorong National Park, Lake Alexandrina and the shores of Lake Albert are all well known tourist attractions, particularly for recreational boating and fishing.
