Breakout Creek construction update – 16 April 2024
Two of the project’s big ticket items – in size, stature and wow-factor – are now complete: the elevated boardwalk and the Kaurna artworks.
The elevated boardwalk is located on the south side of the river, linking the River Torrens Linear Park to Apex Park in West Beach. It spans almost 100 m and is fully accessible.
The 9 Kaurna artworks were carefully crafted off-site by Allan Sumner and his team and have now been craned into position across the precinct. These sculptures give visitors an opportunity to reflect on Kaurna culture relevant to the local area. Find out more, including the best route to see them all.

Work is also progressing well on the 9 Kaurna artworks that will be dotted across the redevelopment precinct. Find out how they are shaping up.
Breakout Creek construction update – 11 October 2023
Work is beginning this week to install the elevated boardwalk between Linear Park and Apex Park, as part of the Stage 3 redevelopment of Breakout Creek / Purruna Pari. It is fully accessible, so it will provide the community with an additional wheelchair and pram accessible entry point into Breakout Creek / Purruna Pari.
While these works are underway over the coming months, access to the nearby trail and staircase might be temporarily impacted – so if you’re planning on visiting, for your own safety please make sure you use any detours that are in place.
