The wetland located at 76 Crooke Street in Bairnsdale is regarded as an important piece of stormwater infrastructure. Constructed wetlands are designed to use natural processes for regulating surface water movement and reducing the impacts of flooding.

Each wetland is unique and specifically designed to meet the conditions of each location. Benefits of constructed wetlands include reduced water pollution and habitat provision for plants and animals.

This project commenced last year but was then suspended until a redesign could be carried out following conflicting geotechnical reports and unforeseen onsite conditions.

Our contractor, Whelans Group Investments Pty Ltd have since recommenced works on the wetland site.

Works to date include pumping out excess water, reshaping of the eastern side of the wetland and placement of soil on the outfall wall at the bottom of the wetland.
