| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a case study of Patawalonga South Golf Links in Adelaide, Australia. Explains that "in 1995, the South Australian Government initiated a significant redevelopment of over half of Adelaide's most popular public golf links." Cites "major public works" as the cause for redevelopment of the golf courses, including "extension of the main runway at neighbouring Adelaide International Airport"; "deviation of Tapleys Hill Road around the extended runway"; realignment of the Patawalonga Creek through the golf course"; "changes to the connector road between Tapleys Hill Road and Military Road"; and "proposals for stormwater management of Patawalonga Creek and Basin." States that "the available land for construction of the new holes to replace those lost was to the north and north east of the existing course and around 50% of this land was a disused landfill." Discusses concerns related to gas production rates at the site, highlighting rehabilitation measures, including the use of a layered protection system. Mentions environmental considerations included in the golf course design, including "a chain of wetlands to act as nutrient stripping ponds" and "a windmill powered circulation system [that] pumps water from the neighboring Patawalonga Creek through the wetland system." States that "particular care and attention was paid to the selection of plant species that were tolerant of saline soils, methane gas and wind borne salt, given the course's proximity to the ocean." Concludes that "the course is expected to re-open for play in December 1997 and the new 9 holes clearly demonstrate a successful adaptive re-use, turning a degraded landfill site that has been a community liability...into a valuable asset." |
