Smart water in our City

The Council has installed smart irrigation systems in all of our local parks and reserves, which helps create cooler, greener and more sustainable places for us to live, visit and enjoy.

Smart irrigation systems work to reduce water consumption through the implementation of sensors to monitor soil moisture and weather patterns.

A Bluetooth/battery irrigation controller was also installed in the median strip on The Parade, Norwood, which allows council staff to alter watering settings from the footpath via their phones.

Current and future upgrades, where landscaping is included, will also prioritise the provision for smart irrigation.

For example, the redevelopment of Burchell Reserve has incorporated smart irrigation and water sensitive urban design.
