Kangaroo Creek Reservoir is a artificial water storage reservoir in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. It was built from 1966 to 1969, by damming the River Torrens west of Cudlee Creek. The stored water is used to maintain the Hope Valley Reservoir's level via discharge through the Torrens. Water is held back by a 131m (430feet) long, 650NaN0 high concrete clad, rock filled dam wall.[1]
In 2016, work started on changes to the dam wall and the spillway. As a result of draining the dam, the historic Batchelor's Bridge once again became visible. The work was completed in Dec 2019.[2] The dam again reached capacity on 26 Oct 2022.[3]
It is named after Kangaroo Creek, a tributary of the Torrens with a 180NaN0 drainage basin, which enters the reservoir on its southern side.[4]
