Mount Torrens Community Forum

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Mount Torrens Community Forum. We'll shortly have a Forum Summary Report to share with you covering everything we discussed and everything we heard.

Community Forums are held throughout the year in community facilities around the Hills. They provide an opportunity for council and local residents to communicate directly with each other about emerging issues, services and Council initiatives. Our next community forum will be held in Mount Torrens.

Mount Torrens Community Forum - Live Your Way in Your Adelaide Hills

• Location: Mount Torrens Soldiers Memorial Hall - 34 Townsend Street, Mount Torrens
• Date: Tuesday 1 July 2025
• Time: 6pm to 8pm
• Light food provided along with tea, coffee, water and soft drinks.

Highlighting information and resources available to residents of the Adelaide Hills Council region, the forum will discuss our Residents Guide and provide an opportunity for engaged locals, new residents, Council staff and Elected Members to connect and discuss what is happening in your community and suggest ideas for your place.

The forum will include presentations and discussions about:

• How to access different programs 🧑‍🎨and services available within the Adelaide Hills
• Some of the great spaces 🌳 and places 🛝available to our community
• The Discover Mount Torrens Heritage Walking Trail App🚶‍♂️‍➡️(you might even like to try it out before you attend 😉)
• The Tracks of Change: From Trains to Treadlies 🚂 History Month exhibition run by Discover Mount Torrens

There will be plenty of opportunities for community led topics and discussions and various information for community members to investigate. You can suggest a topic you’d like to discuss at the forum using the 'Ideas' tool below.

Community members will have the opportunity to speak with and provide feedback to council staff and Elected Members at the forum as well as online following the event. We will provide a summary of the forum here in our document library to share what the forum addressed, what was shared and what we heard after it has occurred.

Venue accessibility

We hold community forums at different venues across our community throughout the year. We aim to select facilities that are run by local community groups and that meet certain accessibility criteria as much as is possible.

The Mount Torrens Soldiers Memorial Hall was constructed in 1923 Due to its age, the hall has some accessibility limitations including a step to gain access the front of the building and no accessible toilet.

We understand that these limitations may prevent some community members from being able to attend the forum. If you have any concerns about your ability to attend, or would require additional support to attend, please let us know so we can consider what adaptions we may be able to make to support your attendance.
