Consultation has concluded

In December 2019 the Cudlee Creek fires effected a large area of the Mount Lofty Ranges with over 23,000 hectares burnt as a result of these fires. Approximately 30% of this effected area is located within the Mount Barker District Council area and has had a significant impact on the Brukunga and Harrogate communities. In addition to planning for the long term objectives for these townships, the Council is also intending to plan for a range of short term actions which will assist in the recovery from these recent events.

With a view to better manage the strategic objectives for the Brukunga and Harrogate townships, Council is preparing a ‘Township Plan’ in consultation with a number of community groups from Brukunga and Harrogate and is now also looking to engage with the wider Brukunga and Harrogate communities about the issues that are relevant to these communities.

Purpose of the Township Plan

The Brukunga and Harrogate Township Plan will provide a vision for the future of the Brukunga and Harrogate townships across the next 10-20 years, identifying strategic actions and objectives to realise these visions. To assist in the recovery from the recent fire event the plan will also prioritise the delivery of short term actions and create strategies designed to help mitigate the risks of similar events occurring in the future.

Council is now seeking input from the Brukunga and Harrogate communities about the key priorities for the two towns. This feedback will inform the strategies, actions and priorities that will be contained within the plan.
