Wirra-Lo Wetland Complex

Wirra-Lo Wetland Complex was partially filled in autumn 2015 to prime conditions for a series of top-ups that occurred between October and December 2015 and in April and May 2016.

The Watering event stimulated the growth of a diverse range of aquatic and amphibious plant species as well as an abundance of waterbirds including threatened Ballion's crake, Latham's snipe and royal spoonbill. Migratory sharp-tailed sandpiper and marsh sandpiper were also recorded at the wetland complex.
