Including green infrastructure and water/biodiversity sensitive urban design
Visit a diverse range of sites across Adelaide that demonstrate green infrastructure including water and biodiversity sensitive urban design principles, WSUD and BSUD. Sites include parks, streetscapes and wetlands addressing urban water management, wildlife habitat and Kaurna culture:
- Kensington Wama Wetlands
- Linear Reserve, Windsor Street, Unley
- Warriparringa Wetlands
- Pasadena Biodiversity Trail – daylighting of a creek via swales and infiltration systems
Enjoy lunch at the Warriparinga Wetlands, an attractive open space used for recreation, education, and to re-establish native plants and animals. The wetland is a series of ponds that diverts and filters water from Sturt River, before releasing it back. This is a place to sit and relax, to enjoy natural sights and sounds. With over 30 bird species living at the wetlands, it has a “back to nature” feel within the city. The Living Kaurna Cultural Centre is located at Warriparinga and offers Aboriginal and environmental education programs, events and performances.
