Project planning & design

The raingardens in Ramsay Place were an integral part of the Ramsay Place Masterplan and Place Making project. The Northern Amphitheatre of Ramsay Place was redeveloped creating a nature play garden with native plants, fun slides, log play and song gongs.

The City of Onkaparinga chose to build raingardens in Ramsay Place to:

• create a fun nature playground garden with native plants
• provide rain garden to clean stormwater
• provide community education and engagement on water sensitive urban design
• create a community orientated space that is attractive, fun and will provide education about water sensitive urban design.

WSUD features & design criteria

These raingardens are situated at the bottom edge of a network of agricultural drains to capture stormwater. As the raingarden is situated away from a storm water inlet, it was built with a sump at the bottom that could store the treated rainwater and then pump it out to the stormwater system as necessary.
