The Big Project is the Barossa region’s largest and most ambitious community infrastructure project. It provides a blueprint for our investment in recreation, culture, and social infrastructure over a 35-year horizon.
Our vision is to deliver jobs and growth in our community and provide health and wellbeing outcomes that will genuinely transform the Barossa. The Big Project is embedded in our Long Term Financial Plan and is premised on attracting third-party funds to deliver infrastructure upgrades.
Key project sites
Over the past three years, Council has undertaken master planning and detailed design for each of the project sites with information including master plans, timelines, and funding available at Your Say Barossa.

Tanunda Recreation Park is a significant community place for sport, recreation, and community gatherings, with key improvements including an expanded show hall, LED oval lighting, multi-use function centre and clubrooms, junior oval and play space.
