Wetlands & Creeks

Australian Ecosystems specialises in constructed wetlands and creekline restoration. We have successfully established diverse, healthy wetland plant communities on over 500 constructed wetlands over the past 20 years. We have rejuvenated hundreds of kilometres of creekline corridors throughout the greater Melbourne Region. Projects range in size from a few hundred plants to over 1.4 million plants that we propagate at our native plant nursery in Bangholme. Our maintenance team looks after these ecosystems to ensure they are fully established, provide habitat for native fauna and perform water filtration functions.
