📈 South Australia's copper industry continues to break records.

New figures show copper exports reached $5.57 billion in the 12 months to July 2026, setting another record for the state.

The result builds on the momentum from last week's Copper to the World 2026 conference, which brought more than 600 delegates to Adelaide to discuss the future of one of the world's most important industrial metals and the opportunities emerging across South Australia.

With around two-thirds of Australia's known copper resources and a strong pipeline of projects, South Australia is helping supply the copper needed for renewable energy, electrification and the technologies that power our modern world.

Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes before the Adelaide Royal Show opens?

OTR's Gas Installation and Appliance Safety team conducted inspections and testing of food vendor gas installations to help ensure a safe experience for everyone attending the show.

From food stalls to commercial cooking equipment, these important checks help keep South Australians safe while they enjoy one of the state's biggest events.

📍This year, Rundle Mall celebrated its 50th birthday!

This anniversary is a testament to its success as Adelaide’s most famous foot traffic hotspot.

But it’s not just the hundreds of retail stores, delicious food and vibrant street performances that make up its icon status. Its statues are photo opportunities, checkpoints and meeting places, decorating the strip with their unique flair.

Swipe to see which minerals each statue is made from. You might be surprised!

Copper-tunities were everywhere at Copper to the World 2026! 🟠

Over the past two days, DEM was proud to join industry leaders, investors, explorers, researchers and suppliers in Adelaide to discuss the future of one of the world's most important resources.

We had the chance to meet hundreds of delegates, share ideas, answer questions and showcase why South Australia continues to be at the centre of the copper conversation.

As Australia's copper capital, Adelaide was the perfect mining ground for these discussions, and we're excited to see where the connections and opportunities sparked this week may lead.

Thank you to Austmine for another outstanding event, and to everyone who stopped by for a chat.

⚠️ PRODUCT RECALL:

The ACCC has recalled certain Snowy River and Newgen caravans fitted with an RV-One HDJYF1001-1 two-stage LPG gas pressure regulator due to a potential fault that may cause LPG gas to leak.

A gas leak can lead to fire, explosion or asphyxiation risks, potentially causing serious injury or death.

🔋 Energised in Playford.

The latest emPoweringSA community battery has been switched on today in Elizabeth Park, expanding access to the program for eligible SA Housing Trust tenants and helping more households benefit from lower-cost electricity.

Part of South Australia's growing network of community batteries, the project is designed to ensure the benefits of renewable energy can be shared by people who are otherwise unable to access them, helping make the energy transition fairer and more affordable.

Eligible Housing Trust tenants located in the City of Playford council area can register their interest now to access the benefits of the program and potentially save on their electricity bills.
