read moreA new, more ambitious redevelopment for Kings Reserve has been released by the City of West Torrens following delays to the original planned Playspace upgrade.
The South Australian Government has approved a major funding boost to support the reimagining of Kings Reserve, paving the way for a beautiful, inclusive and sustainable community park.
The State Government has provided the City of West Torrens with a $2 million grant through the Department for Housing and Urban Development, which increases the total State Government contribution to almost $2.5 million.
Kings Reserve, located across from the Brickworks and next to the Thebarton Oval at Torrensville, is set to become a vibrant hub for recreation, relaxation and connection.
The updated vision for Kings Reserve includes:
The entire project is expected to cost $8.5 million.
Council will continue to manage the project, providing regular updates to the State Government to ensure transparency and accountability.
City of West Torrens Mayor Michael Coxon advised “we are grateful to the State Government for its financial contribution to this project under its Open Space Fund. This contribution, together with council's commitment of $6.5 million, will give us with the opportunity to provide our community with a first-class facility.
“We recently undertook community consultation on the master plan concept, which saw more than 85% of respondents supportive of the plan. We are now undertaking detailed designs of the plan and hope to begin ground works early in 2026.
“This is another great example of how council and community can work together and we thank the Kings Reserve Community Reference Group for its collaboration in helping to bring this project to fruition.”
