Overview
Glade Crescent Wetland is a series of small wetlands that play a variety of important roles, such as:
- Improved water quality in the creek and ultimately discharged to the Gulf
- Improved habitat for many different animals
- Diverse ecology
- Improved amenity
- Improved recreational value
- Educational opportunities
Cleaning water naturally – how the wetland works
- When fully operational, the wetland can capture, clean and store up to 50 million litres of stormwater each year.
- Water is cleaned as it moves slowly through a series of ponds, which each use natural processes in various ways to clean the water.
- To function properly, the wetland needs calm water, healthy plants and native animals to all play their part.
Plant species
Over 10,000 plants were planted during the first winter. In addition to the aquatic plants, there are grasses and shrubs, including Mallee Box, Drooping Sheoak, Dryland Tea-tree, Sticky Hop Bush and Kangaroo Grass.
