Leigh Creek Futures

Leigh Creek is in the heart of the most picturesque part of the Northern Flinders Ranges in an area of major cultural significance for the Adnyamathanha people in the region. It occupies an important role in the regional economy and offers extensive services to surrounding tourism businesses, pastoral properties, visitors and nearby communities.

Following Alinta Energy’s decision to stop mining at Leigh Creek, the State Government has started to plan for the township’s transition to a new future and has released a Request for Information seeking ideas for commercial opportunities in the township.

As a Government it is our intention to help guide the transition from a mining town to an agreed future for Leigh Creek - a future that is influenced by the local community and other important groups throughout the upper spencer gulf and outback regions.
