This resilient Region will be one that can not only cope with the anticipated impacts of climate change, but grow and thrive and take advantage of any opportunities that climate change may present. Before developing these strategies, it is desirable to document and agree on the key attributes of the Southern Region and the potential for these to be affected by climate change hazards. This report has been prepared by URPS as part of the Resilient South consultancy led by URPS and contributes to the project’s first stage. The information contained in this report will be used through the remaining tasks of the project, providing background information for stakeholder engagement tasks, identifying indicators for the Integrated Vulnerability Assessment and targeting adaptation options. This Regional Profile report describes the key attributes of the Region as it is now – these attributes include those features that characterise the Southern Region and make it unique in comparison to other areas in South Australia as well as highlighting the diversity within the Region itself. Key attributes have been reported under the headings of ‘community’, ‘natural environment’ and ‘economy and infrastructure’. Many attributes contribute in part to multiple themes, for example beaches provide opportunities for recreation and social activities (contributing to community), provide habitat for rare and threatened species such as the Hooded Plover (natural environment) and are a popular visitor destination (contributing to the economy). This report is the first of a two-part deliverable for the Regional Profile. The second part is a GIS map server that has been developed for the project. The map server contains spatially represented social, natural and economic data, collated from numerous sources including the Councils, State Government, Australian Bureau of Statistics and Social Atlas of Australia (Public Health Information Development Unit). Not all of the data contained in the map server are described in this profile. Only those datasets identified as ‘key’ attributes are described and summarised. (See Section 1.3 for more information on the Map Server). 1.1 Identification of Key Attributes The key attributes of the Region documented within this report were identified with the following considerations: What attributes make a community or group more resilient and/or less vulnerable to the impacts of climate change? What natural resources in the Region are valued as a result of their rarity, amenity or provision of ecosystem services? What industries maintain or create wealth in the Region? What factors are driving the future of the Region? A list of preliminary attributes developed from an initial review of the considerations above was provided for approval by the Project Management Committee that comprises representatives of the 4 participating Councils.

  • Field River and Glenthorne Farm Ground to Forage for Food
    YELLOW-RUMPED THORNBILL The Yellow-rumped Thornbill is a small insect eating bird which ocassionally eats seeds. It associates in small flocks, often flying from small shrubs down onto the Field River and Glenthorne Farm ground to forage for food. When disturbed, these birds alight back into the shrubs, revealing their bright yellow rumps. Seen in the open fields along the Field River, these birds will adapt to living close to suburbs provided adequate open space is Bird List preserved for them. They live in woodlands but can happily survive around mown The local open space of the southern suburbs is an important corridor linking the Mount Lofty Ranges to the sea. fields if sufficient native habitat remains.

YELLOW-TAILED BLACK COCKATOO Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos are frequent visitors to the southern suburbs, looking for pine nuts in local trees after the breeding season has been completed elsewhere.

  • Paper Will Discuss the Primary Issues Relating to the Introduction of the Concept of Smps
    STORMWATER 2010 National Conference of the Stormwater Industry Association Conference Proceedings STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA THEIR EVOLUTION AND THEIR FUNCTION Author/s: Mr Christopher Wright, Water Projects Officer, Water Management Services, Adelaide & Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board Bill Lipp, Principal Stormwater Engineer, SA Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure Abstract Stormwater Management Plans (SMP) are intended to become the major tool in determining the planning and investment strategies for all things related to urban stormwater in SA. Ultimately it is intended that all applications for funding from the Stormwater Management Authority must be supported by a SMP that has been formally endorsed by the relevant Natural Resources Management Board. This is intended to ensure that planning for stormwater infrastructure is done on a catchment or whole of town basis and that there is degree of uniformity in the plans produced. The SMP has to set objectives for stormwater management and to focus on flood risk, water quality and reuse. It also has to allow for the way in which urban land use will affect stormwater in future years. This paper will discuss the primary issues relating to the introduction of the concept of SMPs. It will highlight the problem areas experienced in preparing these plans and how they were overcome. The paper will conclude with some proposals to provide better guidance in the development of future SMPs 1. Introduction Stormwater Management Plans (SMPs) in South Australia are intended to become the major tool in determining the planning and investment strategies for all urban stormwater actions and measures.
