Notes on the 2013-2017 S&HLGA Business Plan:
Major issues:

The major issues looming ahead for the region are identified as:

                              Community capacity to pay in the face of very tough economic conditions and growing household cost pressures
                              Restricted Mobile Communications due to geography and the very slow rollout of new towers into the region
                              The continuing importance of the Adelaide Hills Watershed region and Murray Darling Basin future particularly for irrigators and the
                               environment
                              Energy security and supply in the transitioning state market and the drive to clean/alternative energy
                              The growing impact of Climate change and the implementation of the regional Adaptation Plan
                              Infrastructure development and maintenance and the provision of public transport
                              Health facilities and service provision in an aging population base
                              Regional Development against the headwind of very constrained State and Commonwealth Government expenditure Budgets
                              Member Council’s heavy reliance on Rates as the primary source of Council Revenue (85%) in the face of restrained rate growth.
                              Sustainable agriculture in a sea change/tree change environment
Key focus/project areas have been identified as:

                              Sustainability of rate revenue dependent Councils and the continuing work with the LGA and other key stakeholders focusing on
                               improving Local Government long term sustainability
                              Implementing and monitoring the S&HLGA regional Health Plan in accordance with the State Health Plan
                              Consider Climate change effects and risks on the region and continue to implement and monitor the regional Climate change
                               adaptation plan
                              Revise the regional 2020 Transport Plan and continue advocating for the key recommendations around freight routes, The Hills Rail
                               re-alignment project and regional public transport
                              Continue the progress on the development of the S&HLGA regional infrastructure plan
                              Research and Evaluate opportunities in regional CWMS efficiencies and Procurement opportunities
                              capturing and measuring temporary population data so as to influence Grant funding to ensure adequate resource allocation
                              Maximising the regional opportunities in Regional Planning and Boundary reform
