Upper Cobbler Creek
The Upper Cobbler Creek is a much-loved recreation area which provides excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and horse riding in the north-eastern area of Adelaide. Located within the suburbs of Golden Grove and Greenwith, the Upper Cobbler Creek Corridor was established by Delfin as part of the Golden Grove development but is now owned and managed by the City of Tea Tree Gully. The corridor is highly valued by the community as an environmental asset due to its remnant vegetation, watercourse, habitat for native animals, and links to the Cobbler Creek Recreation Park.
Prepared by URPS and Swanbury Penglase, the Upper Cobbler Creek Action Plan provides a vision, strategic directions and associated actions to better manage this important recreational and environmental asset. The plan seeks to address a number of environmental issues such as the deposition of sediments and weed infestation. It also recommends creating a multi-use trail; improving the connections with Cobbler Creek Recreation Park; providing additional facilities such as toilets and signage; and providing a 'main entrance' to the corridor. Improvements such as these will encourage greater use of the corridor by both local residents and visitors. Importantly, the action plan will ensure that the corridor can continue to be loved by future generations.
