The June 2008 edition of eNBErs highlighted our School’s excellent
recent successes in the ARC linkage round. This included new projects on
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) in the northern Adelaide region from
Playford to Gawler and also an integrated assessment of sustainable
urban growth around the Noarlunga Centre in the south. A further project
will be looking at modeling South Australia’s electricity grid network
with the target for 20% alternative energy by 2020 and we will be
providing the GIS and spatial modeling component to that study. Finally,
the new focus of the State on water security based around the proposed
desalination plant fits in very well with the SA Water Centre for Water
Management and Reuse linkage project of the new deputy director
Associate Professor Linda Zou, who is working to set up a pilot reverse
osmosis desalination plant at Mawson Lakes.
