ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Breakout Creek / Purruna Pari Stage 3 recently took out both the Landscape & Urban category and Best of the Best at the 2025 Sustainability Awards. 

Delivered by TCL in collaboration with Green Adelaide, the City of Charles Sturt and the City of West Torrens, the project reimagines a once-degraded drainage channel as a thriving blue–green landscape.

Featuring over six kilometres of new walking trails, wetlands that improve water quality and habitat, and deep collaboration with the Kaurna Yerta Aboriginal Corporation, the project shows how climate-positive infrastructure can be embedded into the fabric of a city.

We unpack the thinking behind the design, the engineering and ecological challenges involved, and what this project might mean for the future of urban waterways in Australia.

Senior Landscape Architect and Associate at Taylor Cullity Lethlean (TCL), Kar Gan, who specializes in landscape architecture and urban design describes the process and ideas behind this award-winning design.
