Barndioota in the Flinders Ranges. In 2017, a Kimba town vote demonstrated support for further investigation of the prospect. The result of the vote was 396 to 294 in favour. Opposition to the project has been expressed by community groups No Radioactive Waste on Agricultural Land in Kimba or SA and the Against Radioactive Waste Action Group. On 1 February 2020 federal resources minister, Matt Canavan, announced that of Jeff Baldock's Napandee property, west of Kimba, would provide the location to permanently store low-level waste. The facility would also temporarily store intermediate-level waste from Lucas Heights nuclear reactor, until a suitable permanent site was found. The federal government is allocating a community development package to boost the skills of local businesses and workers to build and run the dump. The facility would cost , and create 45 jobs during construction and 25 ongoing jobs. Culture Kimba is situated on the traditional lands of the Barngarla people. An large-scale public artwork known as "The Big Galah" welcomes visitors to Kimba as they enter the township. The Kimba Art Prize is held annually by the District Council of Kimba. Selected works are displayed in the Kimba Institute in September, and an award is presented to a local artist. In 2017, the art prize received 150 entries from around South Australia and interstate. In 2017 a high mural was completed on the town's grain silos by Melbourne artist Cam Scale, part of the silo art projects that extend across South Australia and Victoria. Climate Kimba experiences a cold semi-arid climate bordering on a hot-summer mediterranean climate (Köppen: BSk/Csa, Trewartha: BSal/Csal); with warm to hot, dry summers; mild to warm dry springs and autumns; and mild, relatively dry winters. Kimba is located within a dry (arid and semi arid) climate zone, where precipitation is less than the total potential evapotranspiration. The region is characterised by hot summers and relies on cool winter rainfall for cereal (dominantly wheat and barley with smaller amounts of oats and canola) agriculture. Grazing is also practised, largely that of merino sheep for wool production with smaller amounts of cattle grazing. Water for stock is sourced solely from rainfall due to the paucity of reliable groundwater in the district, and often summer thunderstorms can supplement the winter rainfall for grazing purposes. Kimba and the associated Buckleboo agricultural area is one of a small number of communities on Eyre Peninsula located
