Project Introduction
The City of Norwood, Payneham and St Peters is a metropolitan council, covering an area of 15.1 square Kilometres, east of Adelaide’s CBD. One of the primary services that the council provides for the 34,000 residents is the storm water drainage network. The drainage network allows for the effective collection of surface water in the area and provides flood protection throughout the city. The majority of the system comprises of storm water pipes, pits, junction boxes and culverts, the storm water makes its way to First Creek, the River Torrens and ultimately Gulf St Vincent.
Over the years it has become apparent that as a result of heavy rainfall events, North Terrace Kent Town has suffered significant flooding from College Road through to the Royal Hotel. The council would like to develop a storm water solution to resolve these flooding events and future proof the existing system against any heavy rain events that may occur. The new solution aims to include Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) technologies, be cost effective and to improve the quality of the water before it exits the system into First Creek.
