One hundred and twenty businesses in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters will receive an automatic 50% rebate from rates for the Fourth Quarter of 2019–2020, as the Council demonstrates its commitment to assisting those local business owners who are experiencing hardship.

Friends of the Billabong is back!
02/07/2020
In line with COVID-19 restrictions easing across South Australia, the Council will be gradually re-introducing volunteer programs which can operate within COVID-19 guidelines.
Friends of the Billabong (FOB) is one of the first non-essential volunteer programs to be re-introduced with volunteers able to safely engage in non-contact, outdoor work.
The aim of FOB is to help conserve the unique native habitat of St Peters Billabong by offering hands-on assistance including planting, weed eradication and watering.
Working bees are held on-site once a month on the third Sunday of the month.

Meet Nadia, a true friend of St Peter's Billabong and its surrounding natural landscape.
Just three kilometres from the centre of Adelaide CBD and a stone’s throw from the River Torrens, the St Peters Billabong is a local treasure which is home to a thriving ecosystem—and a popular place for families and friends to spend time with nature.
The billabong and its surrounding natural landscape have been carefully nurtured over many years by a group of professional and passionate Volunteers, including Nadia McLaren.
"The St Peters Billabong is a beautiful place offering multipurpose spaces for everyone to enjoy."
COVIDSafe app
12/05/2020
The Australian Government launched the COVIDSafe app to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by speeding up the manual process of contact tracing.
Having the ability to find and contain outbreaks quickly will mean that governments will be able to ease restrictions while still keeping Australians safe.
The new COVIDSafe app is completely voluntary but by downloading it, you can help protect your family and friends and potentially save the lives of others in our community, within South Australia and across the country.
