Prospect, SA adopts Water Sensitive Urban Design features for better management of water supplies
Prospect pursued WSUD principles to reduce flooding, naturally filter water pollutants, and support local wildlife. Council officials installed 80 TREENET inlets on roadside verges with irrigation to nearby trees. Additional features like the permeable pavement at Devonport Terrace and raingardens on select streets further Prospect's WSUD goals. Passersby learn more about how each feature functions by scanning QR codes on adjacent signs.
