Centennial Parklands form the base of a natural catchment for runoff from the surrounding urban area, so re-using stormwater makes good sense. A series of large ponds in the Parklands are linked to each other and the surrounding urban area by channels and pipes.
The video clips below look at how the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust are implementing sustainable water management practices.
Part One shows why the stormwater re-use scheme was built, the infrastructure challenges, how water quality is improved and the other benefits of the scheme.
Part Two gives an historical snapshot of the Centennial Parklands, shows the maintenance challenges, as well as the range of water efficiency, stormwater recycling and educational initiatives that have been implemented.
The project was supported with almost $140,000 from the NSW Government's Climate Change Fund.

More clips will be developed in the coming months featuring recycling schemes. You can register your interest and receive email updates about the clips here.
