(9NEWS) The slides will reportedly cost $340,000 to replace and amend. (9NEWS) FTBA Tube slides at Adelaide’s St Kilda Playground will reportedly require $340,000 worth of maintenance work to fix and replace, following a number of injuries to children. The revelations come less than a year after the Salisbury Council spent $600,000 to install the slides at the St Kilda Road playground, and come as a result of a number of reports of broken bones and burns, according to The Adelaide Advertiser. The slides have been closed since April as a safety precaution “after the council became aware of a small number of injuries occurring”, the council said in a statement. The newspaper reports one of the slides will be replaced with another slide that has a smaller incline, which will set the council back $270,000, while a further $70,000 will be spent to reduce the angle of the remaining slide. It is believed the funding will likely come from the council’s next budget. © Nine Digital Pty Ltd 2017 TRENDING VIDEO SpaceX launches and lands rocket for first time since September blast SpaceX has successfully launched and landed its first unmanned Falcon 9 rocket since a costly and complicated launchpad explosion in September. 9RAW: SpaceX launches and lands rocket for first time since September blastNOW 9RAW: SpaceX launches and lands rocket for first time since September blast 9RAW: Passenger plane hit by lightning 9RAW: Passenger plane hit by lightning 9RAW: Stubborn swan walks on tracks in front of train for three kilometres 9RAW: Stubborn swan walks on tracks in front of train for three kilometres No digital Carrie Fisher planned for future Star Wars films No digital Carrie Fisher planned for future Star Wars films 9RAW: Fed-Ex truck forced to slide down steep icy road after brakes failed 9RAW: Fed-Ex truck forced to slide down steep icy road after brakes failed 9RAW: Thrill-seeking kitty takes to the slopes 9RAW: Thrill-seeking kitty takes to the slopes 9RAW: Fighter jet crashes at kids air show in Thailand 9RAW: Fighter jet crashes at kids air show in Thailand 9RAW: Camerawoman caught kicking Syrian refugees 9RAW: Camerawoman caught kicking Syrian refugees 9RAW: Polar bear cub produces surprising demonic cry 9RAW: Polar bear cub produces surprising demonic cry 9RAW: Elderly mother locked in pigsty 9RAW: Elderly mother locked in pigsty 9RAW: 13-year-old struck by taxi saved by backpack 9RAW: 13-year-old struck by taxi saved by backpack 9RAW: US man pays DMV with five wheelbarrows of pennies 9RAW: US man pays DMV with five wheelbarrows of pennies 9RAW: Kamiyah Mobley, kidnapped at birth, found living two states away 9RAW: Kamiyah Mobley, kidnapped at birth, found living two states away 9RAW: Man saves $1068 a month in rent by living in ‘stylish’ storage locker 9RAW: Man saves $1068 a month in rent by living in ‘stylish’ storage locker 9RAW: School band members with disabilities shine 9RAW: School band members with disabilities shine 9RAW: Eleven-year-old piano prodigy impresses marketgoers 9RAW: Eleven-year-old piano prodigy impresses marketgoers 9RAW: Chinese girl allegedly lost in smog 9RAW: Chinese girl allegedly lost in smog 9RAW: Police bodycam captures moment a naked women steels cop car 9RAW: Police bodycam captures moment a naked women steels cop car 9RAW: Mysterious light pillars appear in Canada 9RAW: Mysterious light pillars appear in Canada 9RAW: Refugees feed homeless people in Greece 9RAW: Refugees feed homeless people in Greece Send your photos, videos and stories to 9NEWS Email contact@9news.com.au Large files 9news.wetransfer.com You can remain anonymous.
