Analysis of Vulnerable Industrial Land and Key Strategic Industrial Sites and Businesses Within Metroploitan Adelaide wetland was constructed in 1993 at the downstream end of Breakout Creek wetland and receives stormwater from the suburb of West Beach. (Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board, 2010, Breakout Creek Wetlands) The 100 year ARI flood maps for the City of Charles Sturt show that here is a potential for widespread flooding in the suburb of Henley Beach and some areas of Fulham Gardens, particularly in the southern parts. 12.3.1. Climate Change Implications for Catchment Management The streamflow of the River Torrens is regulated by various weirs along its reach. The reduction in average rainfall could result in lower water levels in the River Torrens and the need to reduce diversions to allow for environmental flows through the system. As the river health is already severely degraded, reductions in streamflow could result in undesirable further degradation. The Apex Park wetlands are located 1km upstream of the mouth of Breakout Creek. As such, it is at risk of seawater inundation in increased seawater level scenarios. This could have adverse impacts on the wetland ecology. Conversely, the capacity of the wetlands will act as a buffer to prevent seawater inundation of the adjacent suburbs. Breakout Creek Weir provides protection from storm surge (E Pikusa, pers com, 19/07/12). 12.4. Patawalonga Creek The Patawalonga Creek catchment covers an area of approximately 235km2. Like the Torrens River catchment, the Patawalonga Creek catchment varies from rural to urban developments. The main sub- catchments in the Study Area of the Patawalonga Creek catchment include Brown Hill Creek, Keswick Creek, Adelaide Airport, Patawalonga coastal and Patawalonga local. The major waterways within the Study Area‟s component of the Patawalonga Creek catchment are Brown Hill Creek, Keswick Creek and the Patawalonga Lake. Brown Hill Creek and Keswick Creek remain predominantly unlined. The Sturt River also lies within the Patawalonga Creek catchment and meets the Patawalonga Creek prior to discharge to the sea. These water courses are all gauged. Stormwater drainage within the catchment predominantly consists of underground street drainage networks. Only a third of the stormwater drainage network within the City of West Torrens was found to meet the desired capacity of 5 year ARI. (City of West Torrens Council, 2008, Stormwater- Infrastructure and Asset Management Plan). A stormwater detention basin was constructed at Lew Street in Netley, next to Brown Hill Creek in 2004. The Lew Street Basin has a capacity of 1ML and receives stormwater from 17ha of the adjacent suburbs. Water sensitive urban design features such as a 195kL groundwater infiltration trench and stormwater swales have been installed in Underdale. Stormwater reuse projects are to be implemented at Kooyonga Golf Course and Glenelg Golf Club, with an MAR scheme at the Glenelg Golf Club. Additional community stormwater reuse opportunities will also potentially be implemented at the Adelaide Shores. 206 .

  • Paper Will Discuss the Primary Issues Relating to the Introduction of the Concept of Smps
    STORMWATER 2010 National Conference of the Stormwater Industry Association Conference Proceedings STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA THEIR EVOLUTION AND THEIR FUNCTION Author/s: Mr Christopher Wright, Water Projects Officer, Water Management Services, Adelaide & Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board Bill Lipp, Principal Stormwater Engineer, SA Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure Abstract Stormwater Management Plans (SMP) are intended to become the major tool in determining the planning and investment strategies for all things related to urban stormwater in SA. Ultimately it is intended that all applications for funding from the Stormwater Management Authority must be supported by a SMP that has been formally endorsed by the relevant Natural Resources Management Board. This is intended to ensure that planning for stormwater infrastructure is done on a catchment or whole of town basis and that there is degree of uniformity in the plans produced. The SMP has to set objectives for stormwater management and to focus on flood risk, water quality and reuse. It also has to allow for the way in which urban land use will affect stormwater in future years. This paper will discuss the primary issues relating to the introduction of the concept of SMPs. It will highlight the problem areas experienced in preparing these plans and how they were overcome. The paper will conclude with some proposals to provide better guidance in the development of future SMPs 1. Introduction Stormwater Management Plans (SMPs) in South Australia are intended to become the major tool in determining the planning and investment strategies for all urban stormwater actions and measures.

  • The Public Will Thank You for Your Timely Article on the Absurdity of So Many of the Names with Which Our Localities in South Australia Are Humiliated
    B The public will thank you for your timely article on the absurdity of so many of the names with which our localities in South Australia are humiliated. The places so handicapped are, like the unfortunate infants christened after certain celebrities, voiceless in the matter… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Baan Hill - On section 50, Hundred of Allenby; an adjacent spring gives a good supply of water all year round; derived from the Aboriginal panau - ‘ochre’. The name was given to a pastoral run by H.S. Williams and J.T. Bagot and, on 24 June 1976, proclaimed as a recreation reserve. Babbage, Mount - B.H. Babbage discovered the mountain in 1856 and named it ‘Mount Hopeful’; in the following year it was renamed by G.W. Goyder. Babbage Peninsula, situated on Lake Eyre North was, virtually, discovered by Babbage, as opposed to Lake Eyre South which was discovered by E.J. Eyre and not named until 1963. Born in London, circa 1814, he came to South Australia in the Hydaspes in 1851. A qualified engineer he was involved in the construction of the Port Adelaide railway, entered Parliament in 1857 and resigned nine months later to command a northern exploration party. By the end of six months his explorations had scarcely penetrated beyond the limits of pastoral settlement and, consequently, both the public and the government, increasingly, became impatient at his slow rate of progress. Eventually, Major P. E. Warburton was dispatched to take over the leadership and, later, it was said that, ‘Babbage’s expedition of 1858-59 was one of the most fruitful in its detailed collection of geographical information and the minuteness of its survey work.’ The Advertiser of 24 December 1858 has a satirical poem - one verse reads: Each caviller at Babbage then A fairy land, no doubt, he’d see, We’d northward send exploring Where others saw but gravel, To find new land, or water when And geographic problems he He chose artesian boring! Most surely would unravel.

Integrating non-market values in economic analysis of flood mitigation options: a case study of the Brown Hill and Keswick creeks catchment in Adelaide Morteza Chalak, Veronique Florec, Atakelty Hailu, Fiona Gibson and David Pannell Abstract: This study undertakes an economic analysis of flood mitigation options for a high flood risk catchment in Adelaide, South Australia: the Brown Hill and Keswick creeks catchment. Several proposals for flood mitigation investments have been presented, including creek capacity upgrades, high flow bypass culverts and detention dams. For flood managers to know which option or options provide the best value for money, it is necessary to compare the costs and the benefits of all available options. To date, economic analyses have focused primarily on estimating the tangible (market) costs and benefits of mitigation strategies, but have largely ignored the intangible (non-market) costs and benefits.

The audit was focussed on stormwater quality and quantity and identified data gaps in the monitoring programs. This report in 2015 is an audit of the data collected in the period 2005 to 2014 to determine if previous monitoring gaps have been filled and identify current and future gaps in the monitoring programs. The report also summarises changes and improvements to data sets report in the 2005 audit. Flows observed during this period were influenced by drought conditions. The several years of below average rainfall resulted in prolonged periods of below average flow.
