Our Reservoirs Partnership Program supports grassroots events and projects held at our reservoir reserves and managed by South Australian not-for-profit organisations. They champion conservation, education and recreation, and help connect communities with our reservoir reserves for their enjoyment and preservation.
In its inaugural year (2020-21), the program supported nature-based activities for school-aged, disadvantaged children, kayaking and other paddling activities for community groups, a nature-based adventure triathlon, and a ‘come and try’ experience for people of all abilities to enjoy the reservoir reserves.
