Located in central Victor Harbor, the South Coast Environment Centre Inc. (SCEC) is a non-profit organisation that supports Natural Resource Management information and initiatives within the region.  The Centre opened in 2012 and provides a focal point for the community to obtain information on natural resources, such as recycling, weed management, biodiversity and conservation and land management through a wide range of free info and resources. We moved to our current location in Coral Street in February 2017 giving more room and a shop-front location making it more easily accessible provides a meeting space for local groups.

The South Coast Environment Centre is managed by a committee comprising of volunteers elected from the local community and is run by a part time coordinator. The Coordinator organises movies, forums and workshops on matters of interest to the local community, works with voluntary groups to promote and assist with their activities, provides training and supervision for volunteers, education, works on special projects, networks with other natural resource centres and advisors in the provision of referral services.

The SCEC services a diverse region, from the Murray River in Goolwa and incorporating the entire south coast region to Cape Jervis and somewhat inland from here.

We support and have information on many local action groups such as Inman River Catchment Landcare Group, Bush for Life, Coast Care, Friends groups including Nangawooka, and Newland Head Conservation Park among others, and involved in animal conservation projects such as the Hooded Plovers, Southern Brown Bandicoots and Western Pygmy Possums.
