The Eastern Region Alliance (ERA) is a voluntary regional association of eastern metropolitan Councils. The Member Councils are City of Burnside, City of Campbelltown, City of Norwood Payneham St Peters, City of Prospect, City of Tea Tree Gully, City of Unley, and Town of Walkerville. These Councils have executed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to form ERA.
The magnificent eastern suburbs of Adelaide are areas of high-quality residential amenity, with proud communities that expect high standard facilities and services, and share interests in many issues including quality public transport, youth, and environmental sustainability.
ERA was formed on 5 November 2008. ERA existed in earlier days as Metropolitan Eastern Region Organisation (MERO), and later as Office of the East (OOTE). Our Councils in various combinations have a history of successful cross-border partnerships, resource sharing, co-operation and alliances. Existing areas of mutually beneficial joint-effort include waste management, environmental health, immunisation, purchasing, regional rates administration, emergency management planning, regional grants officer, and collective advocacy efforts.
