Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid North (RDAYMN) is an incorporated organisation funded by Federal, State and local government. Our main goal is to promote and facilitate sustainable community and economic development within the regions of Yorke, Mid North and the Southern Flinders Ranges. During the past nine years RDAYMN has worked alongside a number of Councils, businesses, community and not-for- profit groups to increase economic activity and competitiveness and to enhance social and environmental outcomes for our region. Importantly our Board is a draw from civic leaders across the Yorke and Mid North region and includes representatives from local government (two elected members and two CEO’s), business representatives including Balco, Pringles Crouch, Nyrstar, Rosewarnes and Bowmans Rail. Collectively they drive the direction and civic leadership across the region on a largely volunteer basis and are pivotal to our success. In order to achieve this RDAYMN work collectively through Regional Development South Australia to achieve these outcomes.

Proposed works include road resurfacings, footpath renewals and kerb and water table renewals. Adelaide City Accelerated Asset Council Renewal Program $ 1,000,000 A sustainable approach to using and managing water is important in addressing the pressures of demand and key issues, such as water security, building resilience to climate change, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements associated with water resources. As most of the Adelaide Hills Council’s area is in the Mt Lofty Ranges Watershed we are very aware of the critical nature of water management. Council’s Strategic Plan has a priority to ‘improve water security by maximising water reuse opportunities, reducing reliance on ground water and improving water efficiencies for open space irrigation and Sustainable Water building facilities’. This key focus along with the Council’s Water Management Plan will ensure an integrated and sustainable approach.
