Broad Scope of Stage 1 Mt Bold Reservoir Concept Plan

The Stage 1 Concept Plan incorporates a site analysis plan with a detailed rationale based on the site visit with key stakeholders.

The Concept Plan considers and resolves the following key design principles and landscape/engineering/urban elements:

•Maximising visitor number and range experiences offered.

•Car parking and drainage, incorporating Water Sensitive Urban design

•Infrastructure – including stormwater, wastewater and electricity supply

•Built facilities – including positioning, form and function of on-site buildings such as public toilets, shelters, picnic tables.

•Viewing platforms

•Fencing

•Fire risk and ensuring visitor safety

•Emergency services access

•Visual impact

•Pavements

•Flood and highwater considerations (1 in 100-year flood levels of the river)

•Track and trail mapping

•Linkages

•Signage

•Site management and maintenance

•Public safety

•Disabled access and facilities

•Environmental stewardship

This Design Report reflects on the stakeholder engagement outcomes of the site visit undertaken on the 31 March 2021.

This study also incorporates SA Water’s current design principles, project vision and strategic opportunities for visitor access.This study has been informed by other visitor upgrades to Reservoirs currently being opened, such as Happy Valley Reservoir.

Focus of Stage 1 Mt Bold Reservoir Concept Plan :

The Stage 1 visitor access works focuses on the connection of southern trails along the southern border of the Mt Bold Reservoir SA Water land. It provides for connections and visitor access to the following areas:

• The New Trail 1 connects from Mt Bold Road to Scenic Road and Golder Road junction point to west, Gate 1 (Fire Track 2) which provides further connection to the Kangarilla Township (Approx 2.62 km to the main street), Claredon Township (Approx 4.08km) and Pink Gum Campsite (Approx 7.66km).

• New Trail 2 connects to Mt Bold Road and then further to new Trail 3 moving towards the east to Lookout 1.

• New Trail 3 runs parallel to Razorback Road and further east towards Focus Area 1 which provides parking, toilets and seating adjacent the Communications Tower.

• New Trail 4 provides scenic views and pedestrian access to the views of the Reservoir with additional high intensity walking trail following back to Razorback Road to connect to Trail 5.

• New Trail 5 provides light intensity walk alonge side Razorback Road connecting to Rest Stop 1 which provides parking and seating with vistas over the reservior. This then further connects to the Heysen Trail, the Kidman Trail and Kuitpo Forest.
