MILLIONS of dollars are set to be splashed on the Seaford Wetlands.
The state government has allocated $5 million to the Seaford Wetlands rejuvenation project. The funding will allow for the construction of a self-guided cultural trail, a shared use path around the wetlands, and environmental restoration works.
Environment minister Lily D’Ambrosio said that the self-guided trail will be informed by a Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation Cultural Values Study. “I was delighted to launch the Seaford Wetlands Rejuvenation Project today and learn more about these very important wetlands from the Traditional Owners of the land, the Bunurong People,” she said. “Melbourne’s open spaces create a connection to nature and the rejuvenation of Seaford Wetlands can only enhance this connection.”
Community consultation on the project has begun. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “we are so fortunate to have on our doorstep something as unique and critically important for biodiversity as the Seaford Wetlands. I encourage everyone to have their say on how these wetlands can be enhanced now, and for generations to come”
