Back Cheltenham Racecourse
 

To increase yield in this catchment and to distribute potential stormwater harvest through the aquifers, it is proposed to pump flows from the River Torrens into the top of the Torrens Road drainage system.
These flows would then be conveyed along the existing stormwater pipe network under gravity to the Cheltenham Racecourse site, where a wetland (operating under gravity) will treat the flows. Local injection will store treated water. The City of Charles Sturt is well into the planning phase for this project.
