Resilient East
Resilient East is a long‑standing partnership between eastern Adelaide councils working together to strengthen our region’s resilience to a changing climate. By collaborating across council boundaries, the partnership can deliver larger‑scale projects, share knowledge and achieve a greater impact than any council could on its own.
The Resilient East region includes:
- Adelaide Hills;
- Burnside;
- Campbelltown;
- Norwood Payneham & St Peters;
- Prospect;
- Unley;
- Walkerville; and
- Green Adelaide as key partners.
Together, the partnership focuses on practical climate actions that protect community wellbeing, support local environments and reduce long‑term costs for councils.
Climate Action Plan 2026–2031
In August 2026, the Town of Walkerville received the Resilient East Climate Action Plan 2026–2031 - a five‑year roadmap that outlines how the region will respond to increasing climate risks such as extreme heat, infrastructure impacts, rising costs and declining green space.
The Plan identifies 24 high‑priority climate risks for eastern Adelaide and sets out six major regional projects, which help ensure our community, businesses and natural environments can adapt to hotter, drier and more extreme conditions.
Walkerville is proud to be part of this collaborative regional approach, working with neighbouring councils to deliver meaningful climate action.
Alongside our involvement in Resilient East, Walkerville continues to invest in local climate‑resilience initiatives. Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) plays an important role in cooling our streets, improving stormwater management and supporting healthier urban environments.
