Description

City of Melbourne has installed floating wetlands in the Yarra River as a part of a trial supported by the Victorian Government. This is a significant milestone for the city-shaping Greenline Project. The wetlands trial will help identify opportunities to enhance the river system's health and improve the experience of our city landscapes, as well as inform the overall design of the Greenline.

The wetlands are made from a series of interlocking platforms that are placed on the water and securely anchored to the riverbed. These platforms feature hundreds of young, native Indigenous plants, which provide access and attract birds and other wildlife that inhabit the river.

What's On

Join the Greenline team along with the ecologist and wetland specialist to explore this milestone for The Greenline Project, and understand how these landscapes might be integrated into the city's urban river areas.
