Biodiversity projects

Planting trees and protecting our native ecosystems are some of the most important things we can do to promote climate resilient in our region. Urban trees sequester carbon, provide valuable shade and habitat and lower the temperatures of our suburbs on hot days. Revegetating and removing weeds from our native ecosystems helps ensure that they are more resilient to the impacts of climate change. The Resilient South partners work together with a range of groups to ensure that our region remains as green and healthy as possible.

HALLETT HEADLAND

Hallett Headland is a haven for rare and endemic plants and animals. The City of Marion, City of Onkaparinga and Green Adelaide are working together to remove weeds from this important habitat.

Sturt river linear park

The Sturt River Linear Park links the Patawalonga Basin in Glenelg North to Frank Smith Park in Coromandel Valley. The Cities of Mitcham and Onkaparinga have been jointly funding the progressive development of the Sturt River Lineal Park for many years.

NATURE CONSERVATION IN ONKAPARINGA

The City of Onkaparinga has created interactive maps to showcase our biodiversity work. Check out the Urban Creek Recovery Project map and Biodiversity Restoration map and visit the website for more information.

WARRIPARRI BIODIVERSITY CORRIDOR

We are working to revegetate land along the Sturt River to create a corridor of greenery along the river system that will improve biodiversity, amenity and wellbeing benefits for the community and for local flora and fauna.
