Researchers from the University of 亚洲色吧 have recommended that four councils in 亚洲色吧's Mount Lofty Ranges and the State Government should jointly pursue a bid for World Heritage listing of the region.

In a report , the findings support a proposed bid for UNESCO World Heritage listing of the working agricultural landscape of the 亚洲色吧 Hills, the Barossa Valley, Mount Barker and McLaren Vale.

According to the study's authors, World Heritage listing would protect the Mount Lofty Ranges' unique qualities as a working agricultural region. The region's food, wine and tourism industries could be globally branded accordingly
