Royal Adelaide Golf Course Wetlands

Water harvesting using ASR schemes with water collected and cleaned in wetlands has become very import for the survival and maintenance of many of Adelaide's iconic amenity recreation areas.

Royal Adelaide Golf Course wetland is one such example.
Planting and maintenance of the locally sourced plants has been ongoing over a 3 year period with plants being installed to suit the season and the planting's requirements.

Open Space Blackwood Park

Blackwood Park Open Space project continues the revegetation and remediation of the Sturt River Catchment area through the Blackwood Park development.

40,000 plants of local provenance were planted along the creekline to protect the banks against erosion, increase biodiversity and beautify the area.

Fire tracks were constructed to enhance fire safety in the gorge.
Bush care involving removal of over 1000 olives and other woody weeds was required to allow planting to occur.

Lady Bay Overtaking Lane Revegetation

As part of the Noarlunga to Cape Jervis road upgrade by Department of Transport Energy and infrastructure overtaking lanes have been planted to improve amenity to road users, increase biodiversity and offset native vegetation removal during road construction.

Ongoing maintenance allowed an excellent success rate in a harsh location.

Maslin’s Beach Overtaking Lane Revegetation

As part of the Noarlunga to Cape Jervis road upgrade by Department of Transport Energy and infrastructure overtaking lanes have been planted to improve amenity to road users, increase biodiversity and offset native vegetation removal during road construction.

Ongoing maintenance allowed an excellent success rate in a harsh location.

Extensive revegetation of the Pedlar Creek Reserve has been very successful due to close attention to bushcare, woody weed control and herbaceous weed control. The results can be seen from the bridge.

Morphetville Wetlands

The morphetville wetland has been designed to filter stormwater runoff from the surrounding roads. The water flows through the wetlands, is “cleansed” by the aquatic planting and surrounding microclimate, and then discharged into the patawalonga. This ensures that the water entering the patawalonga is clean and free from pollutants.

The project involved minor trimming of bulk earthworks, installation of an irrigation system and access path around the wetland and the planting and mulching of 75,000 plants and installation of drainage and rip rap.

CLS are also required to manage the project over a twelve month period, monitoring growth and controlling infestations of weed growth. As a result of the construction of the wetland it has dramatically increased the bird populations in the area.
