Kangaroo Island, Australia’s third largest island, is located off the coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Covering 4,400 square kilometres, Kangaroo Island (the Island) is geographically located alongside the Fleurieu Peninsula and the Adelaide Hills. Drawing reverence for its natural wonder and abundant wildlife, the Island’s landscape varies dramatically, featuring raw and rugged coastlines and pristine beaches from high coastal cliffs at its north-west, to a large central plateau that slopes toward limestone plains and sand dunes along the southern coastline.
The Kangaroo Island Regional Plan was adopted by the Minister for Planning in January 2026 following extensive community engagement led by the State Planning Commission. Input from local councils, businesses, and residents was gathered through workshops, surveys and consultation, helping to shape the Plan to reflect regional priorities and needs.
