Welcome!

People who live, work, study and play in the Adelaide Hills give purpose to our work at Council.

Volunteering is an opportunity to partner with us so we can build connected and inclusive communities filled with resilient, active individuals across the Adelaide Hills.

Through volunteering you can make a valuable contribution to our community, share your skills or gain new ones, and get to know your community by connecting with new people.

We are looking for volunteers of all ages, across a range of skills and different life experiences to directly contribute their time to assisting Hills communities.

Hills Radio is a community radio station and registered charity run almost entirely by volunteers. We broadcast 24/7 via the internet from hillsradio.com.au and can be heard live and local in the Adelaide Hills and around the world.

Currently we have over 34,000 listeners and can be heard in over 190 countries. The station is located upstairs at Level 1/ 31 Gawler Street, Mt Barker with 2 studios and production facilities.

We have 50 members of all ages and from all walks of life volunteering in administration, studio presenting, music library, production, outside broadcasts and technical support. All volunteers are asked to become a member with an annual fee of $60 ($50 concession) and to obtain a National Police Check. We welcome volunteering enquiries from residents of the Mt Barker District, Adelaide Hills and Alexandrina Councils who are keen to give back to their community.

Established in 2011, the Hans Heysen Foundation is a charitable trust which exists to celebrate the great artists legacy of Sir Hans Heysen and to preserve, enhance and promote his Adelaide Hills home and his property 'The Cedars' as a welcoming place of international cultural significance for present and future generations.

In addition to the historic studios of Hans and Nora Heysen and its iconic home and garden, The Cedars has recently commenced the process of developing a world class tourism destination in the form of a new gallery, visitor centre and restaurant.

The Cedars is open Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 4:30pm and public holiday Mondays, no minimum time commitment per week and we welcome anyone who can donate their time even if it is just a few hours per fortnight. You can choose your preferred days and from morning or afternoon shifts (or both).

The benefits of volunteering with The Cedars include a generous staff discount on retail items (art prints, books etc) as well as free entry to The Cedars, invitations to volunteer events, skills development in art history and public engagement and working for a highly regarded charity in a beautiful setting. Our team of volunteers are friendly, helpful and passionate about preserving the legacy of Sir Hans Heysen and Nora Heysen and educating our many visitors.
