Eco-Village Plans Rise for Hindmarsh Island

A family with decades of land ownership on Hindmarsh Island is unveiling a bold new plan: a world-class eco-village featuring 200 sustainable chalets nestled around lagoons with Murray River views. Designed to harmonize with nearby Ramsar wetlands, the project promises solar power, water harvesting, and eco-tech to support conservation while creating jobs in tourism, farming, and construction. After a cultural heritage survey found no archaeological sites, developers vow to collaborate with Ngarrindjeri communities to embed Indigenous stories into the design. With climate resilience built in and approvals underway, this ambitious vision aims to transform the island into a serene, sustainable getaway just an hour south of Adelaide — all while aligning with the government’s recent wetland park expansion.
