The site is part of the Porters Creek Wetland which is the largest remaining freshwater wetland on the Central Coast. The wetland supports a diverse range of flora and fauna including some threatened species and also plays a vital role in managing flooding, filtering storm water and improving water quality before entering Wyong River and Tuggerah lakes. The wetland provides food and habitat for native animals. Plants provided for the sites are currently being grown by our environmental volunteers at our Erina Depot Nursery and will contribute to preserving our local natural environment.
