My Say, My Campaign: Move All Salt to the Sea
One Murray-Darling Basin; One Lasting Legacy - read our submission on the Proposed Basin Plan!
Mayor Kym McHugh is spearheading Alexandrina Council's national campaign to "move all salt to the sea" in an effort to keep the iconic Murray Mouth open and maintain a healthy, working Murray-Darling Basin.
In November, the Murray Darling Basin Authority released the draft Murray Darling Basin Plan with a 20 week consultation period.
On 16 April 2012, Alexandrina Council provided our submission on the Proposed Basin Plan to the Murray-Darling Basin Authority seeking amendments in the plan to include targets within the Lower Lakes for salinity, water levels and connectivity - among other requests.
Read here for further information.

My Say, My Community: Water and Wine - upcoming consultation
Alexandrina Council is working on an exciting new initiative to better connect our tourism, primary production, environmental and cultural strengths.
Called Water and Wine it will see premium infrastructure upgrades of the Goolwa Wharf Precinct as a platform for connecting with tourism experiences across our region.
This is a major, multi-million dollar regional infrastructure project which will achieve greater national and international prominence as a premium attraction as well as growing regional prosperity through resulting tourism growth, diversifying markets for local primary producers and sustained creative and heritage endeavours.
Alexandrina Council were not successful in attracting Federal funding for this project but are currently preparing formal public consultation to support progression of Council-related components and readiness for future funding opportunities.
