Green Adelaide

We're working towards a cooler, greener, wilder and more climate-resilient metropolitan South Australia that celebrates our unique culture. We are South Australia's first government urban environmental organisation. Our work is unique as it delivers environmental outcomes amidst urbanisation, and embeds Kaurna traditional practices in delivery. Our area of responsibility spans across Adelaide’s 17 metropolitan councils and includes about a third of Gulf St Vincent. ****How we started**** We were established as part of the 2019 South Australian natural resources management reform, and the introduction of the *[Landscape South Australia Act 2019](https://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/lz?path=%2FC%2FA%2FLANDSCAPE%20SOUTH%20AUSTRALIA%20ACT%202019).* ****How we are funded**** Landscape and water levies are our primary sources of funding. The landscape levy is collected from ratepayers by metropolitan councils, and the water levy is collected from water licence holders in metropolitan Adelaide.
