What this talk is about (and why it matters to you)  

A new Biodiversity Act has been developed for South Australia — and it will affect how we care for land, native vegetation, and biodiversity.  

You’ll hear:  

• How the law was developed and amended, and what ultimately passed through Parliament 

• What the new law is trying to do (without the jargon)  

• What the Act might mean for farmers, landholders, businesses, and the community  

• What are the opportunities for those interested in supporting and stewarding SA’s unique biodiversity? 

Whether you run a farm, manage land, work in local government, or just care about the environment, this session will help you understand: “What does this actually mean for me?”, and “How can the law help us to look after our natural environment?”  

Importantly, there will be a chance to ask questions and have a conversation about how the new Act is expected to work.  

Note: seating is limited and booking is strongly advised.

Afterwards, why not pop into the bistro for a lovely meal. (At your cost)
