Adelaide and Mt Lofty Ranges NRM Board

Its full name was the Natural Resources Management Board for Adelaide and the Mount Lofty Ranges. This regional body was listed as a partner of the earlier Carbon Neutral Adelaide program. This is a historical profile of that listing. Location recorded in the listing: Eastwood 5063.

Now replaced. South Australia's natural resources management boards were replaced on 1 July 2020 when the Landscape South Australia Act 2019 came into effect. For the Adelaide region the work passed to new bodies, including the Green Adelaide board and the Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board.

What the listing said about the Board

The Board looked after a region of about 11,000 square kilometres with some 1.3 million residents, a large share of the area's native plant and bird species, and important farmland. It described its approach as partnership: working with communities, industry, voluntary groups and every level of government on a regional management plan.

Its carbon-related work, as listed

It funded eight community-run natural resource centres, including a city-based sustainability centre run with a conservation group.
It supported a seven-week “Living Smart” course in which early participants cut car trips and home energy use.
Its education program reached hundreds of schools and supported student environment leaders.
It helped councils prepare climate adaptation plans and worked with volunteers on revegetation along coasts and creeks.

The figures and claims above come from the Board's own listing in the earlier partner listing (a 2017-era profile) and have not been updated. The Board has ceased to exist in this form.
