The Department for Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources and Energy (DMITRE) is committed to a competitive, sustainable, and prosperous South Australia.
South Australia is is at the forefront of responding to climate change and water scarcity, and is a jurisdiction that has a renowned reputation as a leader in water technology and services.
Each year the state undertakes initiatives and programs that are aimed at increasing local capabilities in clean technology, sustainable practices and renewable energy.
South Australia leads the nation in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal and wave power, and is developing internationally recognised expertise in water security and treatment and waste management.
With more than 90 per cent of Australia’s geothermal exploration investment, and wind power already providing 20 per cent of the state’s electricity needs, South Australia’s leadership in renewable energy is attracting wide attention.
DMITRE’s redevelopment of a 61-hectare precinct in Adelaide’s south – Tonsley Park – is set to become a focal point for the expansion of environmental industries and Lochiel Park, just 8 kilometres from the CBD, is the state's model green village.
