About Us

Holdfast Bay contains a unique and diverse environment. Council has strong environmental management objectives which are outlined in the City of Holdfast Bay Strategic Plan and Environmental Management Plan. Council is actively working to protect and enhance the environment, working in conjunction with the community, conservation groups, industry, businesses, educational institutions, landowners and the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Natural Resource Management Board.

The City of Holdfast Bay is primarily dominated by the coastline and includes popular beaches valued by residents and visitors. We are also located at the discharge point of one of Adelaide's largest stormwater catchments and consequently our commitment to promoting sound environmental management extends well beyond our boundaries.

The City is also proud to be the home of extensive terrestrial biodiversity including the Kingston Cliff Face Conservation Park, Gilbertson Gully, Barton Gully, Pine Gully and Minda Dunes - all unique areas to the City of Holdfast Bay.

Environmental considerations form a key component of our corporate vision and decision-making processes. Our environmental policies are developed in consultation with representatives of local residents, businesses, government and environmental organisations.

We hope you enjoy all of the natural features the region has to offer. Please take a moment to learn more about these features and experience their uniqueness first hand.
