Bushfire recovery news

The Kan­ga­roo Island Wilder­ness Trail (KIWT) will reopen for walk­ers from 1 Decem­ber for the first time since last summer’s dev­as­tat­ing bushfires.

South Australia’s pre­scribed burn pro­gram has received a $37 mil­lion injec­tion over five years as part of the State Government’s $97.5 mil­lion response to the Keel­ty Review into last summer’s dev­as­tat­ing bushfires.

Almost $450,000 in com­mu­ni­ty dona­tions will be grant­ed to 20 Wildlife Recov­ery Fund recip­i­ents to help wildlife and native flo­ra recov­er from last summer’s dev­as­tat­ing bushfires.

Record num­bers of vis­i­tors have flocked to Flinders Chase Nation­al Park on Kan­ga­roo Island since it reopened after the summer’s dev­as­tat­ing bushfires.

Kan­ga­roo Island locals, busi­ness own­ers and vis­i­tors are invit­ed to now share their ideas to reimag­ine vis­i­tor expe­ri­ences in some of the island’s nation­al parks.
