Mayor: Michael Coxon
West Torrens is a vibrant area, located between the Adelaide business district and the sea, southwest of the South Australian capital. West Torrens is home to over 60,000 residents, as well as key state infrastructure including schools, hospitals, recreational facilities and the state's principal airport for domestic and international flights and freight. It is this diverse combination of industries that creates a unique set of challenges when it comes to responding to climate change.
West Torrens City Council seeks to ensure that the environment, businesses and industries across the Western Adelaide region remains productive and that its communities stay connected and strong to respond positively to the challenges and opportunities presented by a changing climate.
With a focus on adaptation, the City of West Torrens has already started a robust program in collaboration with its council partners in the western region and is looking forward to further boosting climate adaptation outcomes through its participation in the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy.
