Herdsman Lake selected as site for WA-first litter trap trial

WA-first trial to investigate effectiveness of Gross Pollutant Traps
Ecologically important Herdsman Lake selected as trial site
Supports WA Government’s Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030
Water Minister Dave Kelly today announced that the installation of specialised traps designed to capture plastic and floating litter on stormwater drains at Herdsman Lake had been completed under a new Water Corporation trial funded by the McGowan Government.
Three Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs) have been fitted to drainage inlets and outlets at the lake, which is an important urban habitat for waterbirds and other native fauna.
The two-year trial will assess the devices’ effectiveness and determine operational requirements such as maintenance and litter disposal.
