Port Adelaide Enfield Council also has the opportunity
to be a community leader when it comes to sustainable
development in its public buildings, such as the new
Lefevre Community Stadium.
This demonstrates many sustainability initiatives
including passive cross ventilation using mechanical
louvres to control internal stadium temperatures,
minimal glazing, roof and wall insulation, energy
efficient lighting and sensors to switch off lighting
and toilet exhaust fans automatically.
There’s a rainwater harvesting and treatment system
with three 23,000 litre rainwater tanks – and although
solar panels could not be fitted to the stadium roof,
they have been added to Council’s adjacent building,
the Osborne Over 50s Club, providing power to this
building with surplus power being directed back into
the electrical grid.
“The Council recognises it has a significant role to
play in ensuring our City is a healthy place to live
and raise a family, and we’re committed to doing all
we can to fulfil this role,” says Port Adelaide Enfield
Mayor Gary Johanson.
“Our commitment to health and well being can
be seen in activities such as maintaining parks and
playgrounds, the ongoing upgrade and expansion
of cycling and walking networks across the City,
conducting immunisation clinics, and in maintaining
the natural environment.”
