Leading Australian diversified property group Stockland has partnered with Melbourne Water and Melton City Council to revitalise significant wetland areas in Melbourne’s fast-growing western corridor.
Stockland’s plans for the wetlands include massive planting of 160,000 indigenous plants at their Mt. Atkinson masterplanned community in Truganina. The plants have been specifically selected to encourage and support native wildlife. Planting is already underway at the Stockland development.
While the wetlands will act as a natural filter for stormwater before it enters Skeleton Creek, which then flows into Port Phillip Bay, mature trees have also been retained around the wetlands in coordination with the Stockland Mt. Atkinson community to preserve the natural habitat of local birds.
