A Year of Resilience, community and change on EP

It really has been quite the year on the Eyre Peninsula, highlighting our region’s beauty together with its risks.

2025 has showcased our resilience as a community in the face of algal blooms, marine incidents and unpredictable weather, while also reminding us why we are proud to call this region home.

From Port Lincoln to Ceduna, Tumby Bay to Kimba, communities rallied together — supporting local businesses, assisting neighbours and ensuring events and traditions continued despite uncertainty.

Along our coastline, national attention was once again drawn to the region, celebrating its tourism appeal while acknowledging the realities of living and working alongside the Southern Ocean.

Agriculture remained central to life on Eyre Peninsula, with farmers adapting to seasonal pressures, embracing innovation and marking significant milestones in research and production. The region’s primary industries once again demonstrated their importance to both the local economy and community identity.

Festivals, shows and sporting events brought colour and connection to towns across the peninsula, reinforcing the importance of community spirit. Whether it was cheering from the sidelines, welcoming visitors or supporting local fundraisers, the region showed up.

As 2025 comes to a close, the Eyre Peninsula stands resilient and united — shaped by challenges, strengthened by community, and looking confidently towards 2026.
