The new wetland at Gilbert Park, Knoxfield is now open for the community to explore and enjoy.
Improvements to Gilbert Park cost approximately $1.35 million, with Melbourne Water contributing $200,000 towards the project.
Completed works include the development of a new wetland, a viewing deck, and a resurfaced carpark.
The new wetland will enhance the park by improving water quality and biodiversity, as well as complementing recreational activities.
Visitors will be able to enjoy beautiful and elevated views of the park from the viewing deck.
Community feedback from past community consultations helped shape the final design for the wetland. This included the addition of safety fencing, locations of seating, and materials for viewing deck at Gilbert Park. The overall community response was supportive for the wetland development.
The wetland is a key initiative in the Gilbert Park Masterplan 2017/18 which was endorsed by Council in 2018. The masterplan guides future improvements works for the park. Most of the works have been completed since the Masterplan was endorsed.
