Live, work or play at Hope Valley?

We are excited to announce that we will soon commence revegetation – and launch improvements to the trail network - in the southeast area of Hope Valley Reservoir Reserve.

We want to hear your thoughts as we plan this revegetation program and trail alignment – your feedback matters to us. You can complete a survey, with details at the bottom of this page.

These improvements are in line with a government announcement to revegetate an area which was impacted by Giant Pine Scale, requiring the removal of infected pine trees. Giant Pine Scale is an insect that sucks the sap of pine trees and causes dieback.

Some of the ways we’re looking to make Hope Valley better for our community include:

  • rehabilitating the area decimated by Giant Pine Scale including removing mulch piles
  • revegetating this zone with local Indigenous plant species
  • constructing a walking trail that links Hope Valley’s dam wall with Awoonga Road
  • enhancing the visitor experience by increasing accessibility and establishing new seating locations.

Our reservoir reserves are an asset for all South Australians, and we want to collaborate with the community to ensure we’re providing the best space for you to enjoy.

The draft concept map provides an overview of the area that will be revegetated, and the opportunity for a new trail connection within the expanded access area.

Survey prompt:

We’re keen to hear your feedback on these proposed activities including the revegetation design and trail alignment.
