Further highlights The District Council of Yorke
Peninsula has a strong commitment to working with
residents to develop its assets and foster
community spirit. Council staff encourage and
actively support STANSBURYs Tidy Towns
objectives and projects. Environmental
innovation and sustainability are major elements
of STANSBURYs commitment to their local
environment. Recycling programs are a priority
with well organised public and school recycling
systems in place. STANSBURYs Coastal Walking
Trail offers great views of the towns beach and
aquatic environment. Interpretative signs
provide information on local native flora and
fauna together with sharing the many partnerships
involved in the trails creation. Primary School
students have been active contributors to the
development of a range of the towns
interpretative brochures. Colourful and well
designed, the brochures promote historical
buildings, agriculture, aquaculture, business and
general tourism attractions.
