Project update - October 2019

As per the update in June 2019, the City developed a revised design to allow nutrient stripping and sedimentation to occur in the north lake prior to the stormwater running into the south lake via the open drain and included some wetland and dryland plantings to accommodate grant requirements

The revised design was presented at a meeting with a number of the petitioners, City staff and a Councillor in attendance. Community members requested the exclusion of all dryland plantings from the plan and that the existing open stormwater drain adjacent to the north lake remain untouched. They also required that wetland plantings only be located on the south side of the lake near the stormwater outlet.

This feedback was considered by the project partners, including the City, SERCUL, Water Corporation and Perth NRM. The project partners determined that taking these requirements into account would mean the project no longer meets grant funding requirements. As a result, the project has been cancelled and remaining funds reallocated to another project.
