Goyder Education Foundation

The Regional Council of Goyder is situated in the mid-north of South Australia. The regional community encompasses the townships of Burra, Eudunda, Hallett, Robertstown and their surrounds.

The region takes its name from George Goyder, a surveyor who migrated to Australia in 1848 and went on to plot the now famous Goyder Line which separates land suitable for crops from pastoral grazing land. The line stretches from Ceduna across to Murray Bridge, along the way traversing and connecting many regional South Australian communities.

The Goyder region has a rich agricultural  heritage, a growing tourism offering and emerging sustainable power industry. The latter has been instrumental in the Foundation’s establishment driven by a strong commitment to regional social development and community involvement and guided by innovative thinking from local government and its representatives.

The Foundation’s Board has been working with Neoen and Robertstown Solar to establish a partnership to provide significant funding to the Foundation.
