Establishing the groundwater prohibition area

The EPA established a groundwater prohibition area in portions of Edwardstown, South Plympton, Plympton Park, Ascot Park, Park Holme, and Melrose Park. This prohibition on the extraction of groundwater was published in the South Australian Government Gazette on 9 January 2018.

The EPA consulted with the local community to provide information and seek feedback on the proposal before proceeding to establish the GPA.
