Sydney Water have just published some very interesting community feedback from their Cooks Riverbank Naturalisation project. The study entitled "Final Report: Community Consultation Outcomes on the Draft Concept Designs" is of particular interest to the Cooks River Urban Water Initiative as it includes survey responses to the Cup and Saucer Creek Wetland design that the initiative is funding.
This wetland is now seriously deep into detailed design with work expected to begin very early next year. Actually, you could almost say on-ground work has started as there has been a little bit of maintenance on site lately to ensure the sewer pipes in Haynes Reserve are robust enough to endure the wetland construction.
Anyway, on to the outcomes of the report!

 Currently works are underway to install a Gross Pollutant Trap at the Highcliff West site in Earlwood. This unit will trap rubbish, leaf litter, weed propagules and sediment that would have made it's way down into the regional park and Wolli Creek. The installation is being project managed by the City of Canterbury who will also maintain the unit.
If you are reading this via the email updates, head to the CRUWI website to see photos of the GPT install. |

 The Sydney Metropolitan CMA has just signed a contract with the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) to proceed with detailed designing of a constructed saltmarsh and remediation works on a small stream in Turrella Reserve near Wolli Creek.
Earlier this year, representatives from DECCW, City of Canterbury Council, Wolli Creek Preservation Society and the SMCMA meet on the banks of Wolli Creek to talk about the future of this much loved site. It was decided to engage a landscape design consultant to draw up a concept design for the planned environmental improvement works at Turrella Reserve. Building on the original Regional Park Plan of Management, the new concept design included installation of a GPT, remediation of Turella Creek, the construction of a saltmarsh and the potential for construction of a freshwater wetland in the future.
