Welcome to DEH

Allan Holmes

Our work has never been more important. The world is struggling with the reality of climate change and in South Australia we are also experiencing a severe and prolonged drought.

DEH's Corporate Plan confronts these challenges and shows how the Department can contribute to prosperity for South Australians that is sustainable in our rapidly changing world.

Partnerships are important. Prosperity and sustainability can only be achieved by working together - with other government agencies, with the private sector and with the community.
