Supporting the broader South Australian community
At the heart of our mission lies a deep commitment to our community, and this commitment takes shape in a variety of meaningful ways. We are not only the stewards of a cherished park, but we also play a broader role in our community; supporting groups and specific causes who, like us, provide much-needed services to the South Australian community.
Our impact reaches far beyond our Park’s borders as we align ourselves with organisations that share common values and who work tirelessly to provide essential services to those in need.
Funding our support
This commitment goes beyond words, transforming into real, meaningful donations to diverse charitable organisations, contributing to our community’s well-being.
For donations, we don’t use operating revenue; rather, we use the money we receive from the recycling of plaques and residual cremation metals. These funds are set aside specifically for this purpose. These dedicated funds not only support existing initiatives but also fuel potential future community projects, demonstrating our long-term dedication to community growth.
Our contributions
We have provided a number of donations totalling $143,194, including:
| August 2019 | The Smith Family |
| July 2023 | Food on the Table |
| October 2023 | Ngutu College |
| August 2025 | The Hospital Research Foundation Group – Palliative Care |
