Resilient East is a partnership between state and local government organisations in eastern Adelaide
There is strength in numbers. By collaborating, our Region can deliver a coordinated response to climate change, and, by sharing information, resources, responsibilities and actions we can achieve a Resilient East.
Our Partners
Our Commitment
In 2020, Campbelltown City Council, the Cities of Adelaide, Burnside, Norwood Payneham and St Peters, Prospect, Tea Tree Gully, Unley, the Town of Walkerville and the Government of South Australia renewed our 2017 Sector Agreement, showing our commitment in working together.
The 2020 Sector Agreement acknowledges the importance of taking a leadership role in climate change and sustainability and commits to a collaborative approach in tackling climate change impacts and increasing adaptation to ensure a resilient, climate smart and prosperous future.
Our Goal
Our goal is to improve the resilience of communities, assets and infrastructure, local economies and natural environments so we can cope with the challenges and opportunities of climate change.
Resilient East is about making sure the eastern region remains a vibrant, desirable and productive place to live, work and visit, and that our businesses, communities and environments can respond positively to the challenges and opportunities presented by a changing climate.

Collaboration beyond Resilient East
We regularly collaborate with other regional climate partnerships just like us through the Regional Climate Partnerships network.
The Network is made up of eleven regional, cross-sectoral groups in South Australia who are also delivering practical action to strengthen the climate resilience of their communities, economies and natural and built environments.
The eleven partnerships are: Adapting Northern Adelaide, AdaptWest, Barossa, Eyre Peninsula, Far North, Limestone Coast, Murraylands & Riverland, Northern and Yorke, Resilient East, Resilient Hills & Coasts and Resilient South.
