YIPWEA Kensington Gardens Reserve Upgrade Tour




Kensington Garden Reserve Upgrade Site Tour

Friday 26th August 2022, 9:30 am – 11:00 am ACST

The Kensington Gardens Reserve Upgrade Project, located in the Kensington Wama / Kensington Gardens Reserve, officially opened in January 2022. The project has completely revitalised the City of Burnside’s most popular recreational reserve and delivered a range of environmental, recreational, cultural, and economic benefits. Council has worked very closely with Kaurna Traditional Owners to ensure best-practice cultural heritage management throughout the project and deliver a range of cultural heritage recognition initiatives, including a place of reflection and a cultural walk with interpretive signage and artwork.

      

In addition to the recreational and amenity benefits, the project has delivered substantial environmental improvements including:
• Improved stormwater quality runoff from the polluted urban Wattle Park catchment before it is discharged into the downstream Stonyfell Creek system.
• An extensive revegetation program with at least 40 new trees, 1,450 shrubs, over 4,300 groundcover species, 4,800 new biozone plantings, and over 10,000 new plants in the wetland.
• Improved local biodiversity, tree health, habitat, and riparian ecosystem and
• Opportunities for future harvesting and reuse of stormwater.

The event will involve a site tour Kensington Gardens Reserve to learn about the project, followed by a Q&A session with various presenters involved throughout the design and construction of the project, including:
• Chris Goold, Director – Camco SA
• Adam Latemore, Executive General Manager – RAW SA  
• Brett Shuttleworth, Project Manager – City of Burnside
