Regional Development Australia Limestone Coast (RDALC) and RDA Murraylands and Riverland (RDAMR) have been working with state government body Green Industries SA (GISA) to drive the creation of a 'Circular Economy' blueprint for the two Eastern regions.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
A Circular Economy aims to dramatically reduce waste and pollution by reducing the consumption of finite resources, re-using products and materials where possible, and is all driven by renewable energy. It’s about reuse, recycling and responsible manufacturing to enhance the health of communities and the health of the environment.
This is the the first time a model for a regional Circular Economy has been created in Australia.

Circular Economy Opportunities for the Limestone Coast
A detailed analysis of each region’s economic, resource use, and waste generation profile has identified the industry sectors and specific initiatives that offer the greatest opportunity for circular action. Both regions have opportunities across the food and drink value chain, recapturing the value of food loss at farm and at manufacturing sites that may otherwise be destined to become waste.
The Limestone Coast report was launched in Mount Gambier by GISA and RDALC on Monday 14 November 2022.
