Seven reservoir reserves across South Australia including Adelaide’s urban reservoirs Happy Valley and Hope Valley will be open within two years for people to visit and enjoy.

Sunday 20 October marked another milestone for recreational activity at South Australian reservoirs with expanded access at Warren and Bundaleer available to coincide with 2019 Gone Fishing Day.

New activities coming at Warren and Bundaleer reservoir reserves from October.

Residents and businesses in the Barossa Valley have had their voices heard on the exciting range of recreational activities soon to be available at South Para and Warren reservoir reserves, as efforts continue to open the areas for public access by the end of the year.

Preparations are full steam ahead to provide easier and expanded recreational access at Warren Reservoir within weeks, as activities at reservoirs around South Australia continue to expand.

Water-based activities at South Australian reservoirs have taken another step forward with access to Warren, Bundaleer and South Para reservoirs expected in the coming months, and shoreline fishing to be allowed at Myponga in time for summer.

Community engagement is an important aspect of expanding recreational access across South Australia’s reservoir reserves, with the reservoirs team recently heading to Williamstown to host a series of sessions for people in and around the Barossa to participate in.

Since Myponga Reservoir Reserve opened to the public on 14 April 2019, more than 6,000 people have visited to enjoy, explore and preserve this special place.

South Australians and visitors to our state are invited to begin enjoying, exploring and preserving the Myponga Reservoir Reserve, with a range of family-friendly activities on Sunday 14 April 2019.

Owners of Myponga General Store, Kevin and Vicki Addington, took a leap of faith six years ago when they relocated to the town to run its beating heart, and see more opportunity on the horizon.

If you ask them, there’s nobody luckier than Myponga Reservoir’s caretakers. They enjoy breathtaking views each day as they maintain biodiversity in the catchment and protect the quality and safety of our drinking water supplies, and are pleased to show Myponga’s natural beauty to new visitors.
