Mount Barker District Council is proudly partnering with unique Adelaide Hills arts venue The Cheese Factory to present Tunes For Trees - two days of incredible live music, where every ticket sold contributes to restoring our beautiful local environment.

Running from 12pm-6pm on both Saturday and Sunday, Saturday’s lineup has a ‘modern folk’ feeling to it, with the award-winning talents of Naomi Keyte and Loren Kate. Sunday leans into sophisticated jazz vibes, with Dave McEvoy and Mélange Latino. There’s also a chance for Saturday’s attendees to join a Pop-Up Choir in the bar led by the amazing Natalie Ermer, while Sunday’s barflies can soak up the sounds of local piano prodigy, 17-year-old Jed Oster-Ives.

Every ticket sold includes a native tree sapling for the purchaser which can either be collected from the venue and planted at home or donated to Council’s community tree planting program. Additional native trees and plants will also be for sale on the day and there will be plenty of time to wander the gorgeous gardens of the Cheese Factory perusing the plant life on offer!

Tunes for Trees is part of the inaugural statewide climate action festival Adelaide Climate Action Week which runs from Monday 27 July until Sunday 2 August.

On the weekend before this event, Council is holding its annual planting event for National Tree Day at Springs Wetland, Mount Barker. We’d love to see you there! Click here for further info.

Wagtail Urban Farm went out with a bang in the beginning of 2023. After having to leave the site that they tended in Mitchell Park for 10 years, the gardening bug bit harder than ever!

Since then, Carla and Steven have been busily plotting how they would improve their micro-scale, homegrown set up again if they could start from scratch.

“Waggie Two” is just that. Using a northern face to capture as much sunlight as possible, limiting nutrients that leave the property and using every spare centimetre to grow food or habitat, their new endeavour, even in it’s infancy, is already taking shape and showing what is possible on a suburban block!

Come and have a guided tour on Sunday, the 2nd of August and help us wrap up the inaugural Adelaide Climate Action Week down south in Sellicks Beach!

From Compliance to Competitive Advantage: Practical ASRS Climate Disclosure for SA Businesses

South Australian businesses are entering a new era of mandatory climate-related financial disclosure under the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS). For Group 2 entities — those with 250+ employees, $500M+ in assets, or $200M+ in revenue — obligations begin from 1 July 2026. For Group 3 entities, the clock starts ticking from 1 July 2027.

But compliance alone isn’t the goal. The businesses that thrive will be those that use climate disclosure as a strategic lever — to attract capital, manage risk, strengthen supply chain relationships, and build long-term resilience.

Join 2XE and Cowell Clarke for a practical, no-jargon session designed for South Australian business leaders, finance professionals, and sustainability managers navigating ASRS climate disclosure. Whether you’re in Group 1 preparing for Year 2 reporting, Group 2 (reporting from 1 July 2026) or preparing for Group 3 obligations, this event will equip you with the knowledge to not just comply — but to use climate disclosure as a genuine business advantage. Expect real-world frameworks, legal context, and actionable strategies you can take back to your organisation the same day.

Please RSVP by Thursday 16 July 2026.

The Emerging Leaders Expo is the flagship event for youth at Adelaide Climate Action Week. By young people, for young people.

Young South Australians aged 16-25 are doing serious climate work right now, in classrooms, communities, labs, art studios and on Country. Too often that work goes unseen and unconnected. The Expo exists to change that.

Whether you’re already deep in the climate space or just starting to find your way in, if you’re a young person engaged in or curious about climate action, this evening is for you. Climate action looks different across every community, industry and creative practice and all of it belongs in this room.

What to expect:

A space lined with posters showcasing climate projects led by young South Australians

Real conversations with the people behind the work

Networking games and a collective zine-making table

Mentors from across the climate sector ready to talk about your work, your ideas and what comes next, whether that’s a new collaborator, a pathway into the sector, or simply knowing you’re not doing this alone.

The format prioritises lateral connection over hierarchy. There is no main stage and no keynote. No polished pitch required.

The exhibited posters will be captured in a permanent digital archive on the ACAW website, giving visibility to the incredible work already being done by young people across this state.

To register as an attendee select the General Admission ticket option

Want to share your climate work, project or passion area? Submit an EOI to be part of the poster exhibition by selecting the Exhibit a poster EOI ticket type.

Your poster can be about you and the climate work you’re doing, or about one specific project you’ve built, run, researched or made. This is about using your poster to inspire, teach and engage with peers who share your passion, and to catalyse more connections, projects and energy on climate action. Posters do not have to be fancy! They are a reference for discussion.

In the lead up to the Emerging Leaders Expo we will be providing support for those making posters including examples and an in person poster making a working bee, as well as being available to chat and answer any of your questions.

At the Emerging Leaders Expo there will be a designated period of time for those who have submitted posters to stand beside their poster and chat about their work as guests move through the space.

This event is supported by MOD. and the Environment Institute. We’re so grateful for MOD. generously hosting us, and for the Environment Institute’s support in bringing this event to life.

Our upcoming SustainabiliTEA session will be with Dr Jacinta Humphrey, Urban Ecologist and Postdoctoral Researcher with the ICON Science group at RMIT University.

How to improve habitat for native birds in urban areas Australia’s population is steadily increasing, prompting the need for new houses, shops and roads. Whilst these developments are important for our community, they may have a negative impact on the birds that share our suburbs. So, how do birds respond to urban development? Why do some species cope better than others? And what can we do to better support the more sensitive species?

We look forward to hearing Dr Jacinta Humphrey insights on what makes a residential street, urban park or private garden, bird-friendly, whilst sharing space with you all virtually over a soothing cuppa!

A 90 minute workshop on one possible model to build housing collectives that focus on retrofitting housing for the climate crisis, while also contributing to the decommodification of housing for public good.

The goal of Retrofit and Decommodify (RAD) housing is to collectively acquire, retrofit, and decommodify existing suburban housing so that we, and others, can live in resilient and affordable housing.

The RAD housing project offers one small way to contribute to prefiguring better futures by providing opportunities to live collectively in ways that help us to practice commoning and act in solidarity with more radical movements for change.

The RAD housing members are currently visiting from Naarm, and keen to take this opportunity to transfer some of their learnings to the community here, to aid in similar and related efforts.

Belair National Park (the Park) is 835 hectares of diverse habitats, supporting many threatened species. The Friends of Belair National Park play a critical role in the on-ground management of this incredible biodiversity. As a volunteer group, we simply don’t have the numbers to adequately cover the entirety of the Park, so every extra pair of hands really counts.

How you can help Join us at one of our regular bushcare sessions: Tuesday and Friday morning: every week, 8:30 am to 10:30 am, meet at the Green Shed (near Main Oval) before 8:30 am Saturday morning: on the third Saturday of every month, from 9:00 am to 11.00 am, meet at the Green Shed at 9:00 am Thursday evening: alternate weeks during daylight saving periods, any time between 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, locations vary. Adopt a block – work in your own area, in your own time. See below. Help us in other ways. We’re always seeking more hands for non-bushcare tasks. Everyone is welcome to come and try, you don’t need to make a regular commitment, and there are many benefits for the Park and for you. We provide all training and tools; you provide the enthusiasm. If you’re new to bushcare and don’t know how it works that’s fine, we can help you find some easily identified weeds and show you how we remove them without causing damage to the native plants we are trying to protect.

If you need more information contact Catherine Miles 0408 640 377.
