Limestone Coast Policy Priorities 2026
The Limestone Coast Policy Priorities 2026 outlines a number of initiatives for consideration ahead of the 2026 State Election and the 2026 State Budget.
As the closest level of government to the people, local government plays a critical role in understanding the needs of local communities and advocating for the support required to deliver infrastructure and services to enable sustainable population growth, projected to reach over 85,000 by 2051. Councils within the Limestone Coast recognise the potential for economic growth to enable a highly productive and prosperous community that will continue to contribute significantly to the South Australian economy.
As the peak body representing Local Government in the Limestone Coast, the LCLGA takes a lead to advocate on behalf of the region across a wide range of issues with the goal of continuing the 140 year history of collectively building strong, sustainable communities.
Our Vision for the Limestone Coast is:
- Regional growth that is considered and sustainable.
- Communities that are supported with the services and infrastructure needed to thrive now and generations into the future.
- To maintain our competitive advantage and global reputation for the clean, green environment and the food and fibre that is produced from our resources
- A diverse economy that is resilient and balanced
- A highly attractive region to live, work, visit and invest.
By working together, all levels of government and industry can overcome the challenges inhibiting sustainable growth and ensure the Limestone Coast reaches its potential, contributing even more significantly to South Australia’s economy.
The Limestone Coast Local Government Association has identified a number of key policy priorities for consideration by the State Government to address challenges and unlock potential of our region. Click the link below to read about these priorities;
