Eastern Region Alliance

The Eastern Region Alliance (ERA) is a voluntary regional association of eastern metropolitan Councils. The Member Councils are City of Burnside, City of Campbelltown, City of Norwood Payneham St Peters, City of Prospect, City of Unley and Town of Walkerville. These Councils have executed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to form ERA.

The magnificent eastern suburbs of Adelaide are areas of high-quality residential amenity, with proud communities that expect high standard facilities and services, and share interests in many issues including quality public transport, youth, and environmental sustainability.

Grow East

To help promote the broader Eastern Adelaide Region as a great place for business, the Eastern Region Alliance of councils has produced Grow East.

Grow East is an investment prospectus highlighting the mix of quality investment opportunities, prime commercial locations, dynamic innovation ecosystem and idyllic lifestyle and environment of the region.

History

ERA was formed on 5 November 2008. ERA existed in earlier days as Metropolitan Eastern Region Organisation (MERO), and later as Office of the East (OOTE). Our Councils in various combinations have a history of successful cross-border partnerships, resource sharing, co-operation and alliances. Existing areas of mutually beneficial joint-effort include waste management, environmental health, immunisation, purchasing, regional rates administration, emergency management planning, regional grants officer, and collective advocacy efforts.
