Two years ago a South Turramurra couple turned their saltwater pool into a pond, with aquatic plants and native fish. In the past three years Ku-ring-gai Council’s 'Pool to Pond' program has helped convert more than 40 pools into ponds.
Perhaps a more innovative solution can be seen at 14 Mason Avenue Cheltenham, a property going to auction this weekend. They built a concrete 'roof' over the pool and tiled it, to make a very attractive large garden entertainment and play area. But they also connected it to take rain water from the downpipes, to create an automatic watering system with 40,000 litre capacity to water the large gardens on the property! Beats having large tin tanks around the place!
