The Department for Environment and Water aims to help South Australians conserve, sustain and prosper.

In South Australia we have a unique system of natural resources management boards that work in partnership with us to fulfil our roles and deliver services across eight natural resource management regions. Through the boards we develop meaningful relationships with the community and increase our shared knowledge and understanding about natural resources. We encourage debate and share the decision-making and accountability for choices made.

The Department for Environment and Water is currently offering the following grants:

Greener Neighbourhoods - The Greener Neighbourhoods grant program will support metropolitan local councils to keep Adelaide’s suburban streets green and cool.

• progress against the target in the 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide to increase urban green cover by 20 per cent by 2045
• reduction of the urban heat island effect across metropolitan Adelaide
• creation of habitat for wildlife and improving natural character in the urban environment
• improved community health and wellbeing
