Upcoming community information session
Come along and find out more about the Remarkable Southern Flinders Project at the upcoming community information session in Port Pirie. The session will be held at the Memorial Oval Function Centre on Monday 10th May from 6.30pm-7.30pm.
The community information session is an opportunity to hear the latest updates on all the projects underway as part of creating this new precinct and talk to the project team and ask any questions you may have.
The Remarkable Southern Flinders Project will create a new nature-based tourism destination in the Southern Flinders Ranges. The visitor experience will be enhanced through the development of new and improved visitor facilities including;
- Developing a world-class mountain biking destination
- Creating trails for hiking, including new iconic multi-day hikes
- Upgrading and expanding campgrounds to provide camping for a wider variety of vehicles and experiences.
Places are limited so please register your attendance via the Southern Flinders Precinct Community Information Session event page. If you are not already registered, please follow the prompts to complete your registration (you can select your preference for project updates during the registration process).
Guests will be required to complete a COVID-SAfe Check-in upon entry to the Memorial Oval Function Centre.
The partnership
Developing new facilities in the precinct will bring together a unique partnership of environmental organisations, economic agencies, Councils and State and Australian Government.
The South Australian Government has committed $5million to establish the precinct as part of the Parks 2025 strategy.
This funding will be matched through a community partnership.
The “Remarkable Southern Flinders” proposal, is a concept put forward by community partners including the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife, Northern Areas Council, District Council of Mount Remarkable, Port Pirie Regional Council and Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid-North to further advance and promote the Southern Flinders region as a tourism destination.
Together these partners put forward the “Remarkable Southern Flinders” proposal to the Australian Government and were successful in securing $5million from the Building Better Regions Fund.
The addition of the funding for the Remarkable Southern Flinders proposal will expand the infrastructure able to be built across the new national park precinct.
The establishment of the park will closely involve the traditional owners of the land, the Nukunu Nation. The Nukunu will also be co-managers of the Telowie Gorge Conservation Park, inside the precinct.
