Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Potential for realignment/restoration/enhancement works to the river and floodplain. Potential for establishment of the marginal/bankside habitat by reducing shading from excessive tree cover and regrading the banks and removing the fencing along the river. This would improve the ecological value of river and river corridor, visibility of the river and access to the river. There is also the potential for wetland creation with the park, and habitat for bats in the culvert to the north of the park. Reconnect river to it’s floodplain; improve water quality by introducing riparian vegetation and establishing currently nonexistent bankside and emergent habitats; provide access to nature and improve amenity value of the park.
