Work will begin immediately on a revised water allocation plan to sustainably manage water allocations on the Eyre Peninsula to address a significant decline in the region’s available fresh underground water resources.
A three-year project focusing on improvements to environmental management at priority coastal campgrounds is now in its final phase with works at 10 sites either completed or underway.
More than $110,000 is available for the Eyre Peninsula community to put towards local landscape management projects or events focusing on water, sustainable agriculture, pest plants and animals, biodiversity and community.
Soaks, springs and waterholes exist through many Eyre Peninsula farming areas and are important sources of water for stock and farm use – even more so during dry times like our current El Niño weather pattern.
