The Marrambidya Wetland Plan of Management is a 10-year document sets a clear direction regarding environmental management and the community’s needs in relation to current infrastructure, assets and potential future improvements.
The Marrambidya Wetland was created to provide a sustainable wildlife habitat and sanctuary that provides an enhanced recreational, and educational experience. It also holds significant value to the Wiradjuri/Wiradyuri community, with the Healing Place created as a place of serenity, where community members can sit, relax and reflect amongst nature.
The Plan of Management details how Council intends to maintain and develop the wetland for the benefit of our native wildlife, Wiradjuri/Wiradyuri culture, the community and visitors to Wagga Wagga.
Four main themes were developed, including:
- Maintenance – routine actions to maintain the wetlands including mowing and maintaining toilet facility, signage
- Infrastructure upgrades – action that require larger scale upgrades to improve the safety and usability of the site
- Enhanced usage – actions based on increasing the number of people utilising the site and the quality of their experience
- Environmental management – improving and maintaining natural habitat
