South Australia's National Parks Guide
SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S NATIONAL PARKS GUIDE Explore some of South Australia’s most inspirational places INTRODUCTION Generations of South Australians and visitors to our State cherish memories of our national parks. From camping with family and friends in the iconic Flinders Ranges, picnicking at popular Adelaide parks such as Belair National Park or fishing and swimming along our long and winding coast, there are countless opportunities to connect with nature and discover landscapes of both natural and cultural significance. South Australia’s parks make an important contribution to the economic development of the State through nature- based tourism, recreation and biodiversity. They also contribute to the healthy lifestyles we as a community enjoy and they are cornerstones of our efforts to conserve South Australia’s native plants and animals. In recognition of the importance of our parks, the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources is enhancing experiences for visitors, such as improving park infrastructure and providing opportunities for volunteers to contribute to conservation efforts. It is important that we all continue to celebrate South Australia’s parks and recognise the contribution that people make to conservation. Helping achieve that vision is the fun part – all you need to do is visit a park and take advantage of all it has to offer.

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. -

The study area was the floodplain of the Murray River and its anabranches, including the Edward-Wakool system, from below Hume Dam to the upper end of Lake Alexandrina. The components of the study were: · Literature Review A comprehensive bibliography was compiled on the floodplain vegeta tion, its environment and the impact ofman's activities. The literature was reviewed and summarised. · Floristic Survey A field survey was carried out, visiting 112 sites throughout the study area and collecting vegetation data from 335 plots. Data collected were the species present, their relative abundance, the condition of the eucalypts, the amount ofeucalypt regeneration and indices ofgrazing pressure. Brief studies were made of the effects of river regulation and salinisation at specific sites. Thirty-seven plant communities were identified from a numerical analyis ofthe floristic survey data. The differences reflect environmental changes both along the river and across the floodplain. The most important factors were identified as soil salinity levels and flooding frequency. -
