Pergola Renewal - Peppermint Park and Veale Park

The City of Adelaide is undertaking pergola renewal works at Park 18 Peppermint Park and Park 21 Veale Park. The existing pergolas were identified as being in poor condition, with a Structural assessment confirming renewal works were required to enhance stability and longevity.

Renewal works at the Veale Park pergola are now complete. Construction works are still underway at the Peppermint Park pergola.

The project aims to deliver a refurbished pergola that has minimal impact/disturbance to the structural integrity of the pergolas. The objective is to create an improved and well-maintained structure that matches into the existing fabric as it is important to maintain the historical appearance, whilst positively contributing to the surrounding environment.

Renewal of existing Pergola Structure will take utmost care to maintain the existing creeper/vine over the structure during and post works.

Renewal work that will consist of (but not limited to) cleaning, securing loose connections, replacement of corroded bolts, replacement of members, filling of gaps and pruning of existing vegetation.

Initial inspections identified the pergola as being in poor condition. Further investigation provided the extent of deterioration and determined the most appropriate approach to ensure the structure remains safe, functional and well maintained for the community.

Renewal planning will take the utmost care to retain and protect the existing vine growing over both the pergola structures. This will be a key consideration throughout the construction process.
