YRA has applied to the Federal Healthy Waterways Program for a grant to start developing the Yarralumla Wetlands envisaged in National Capital Authority’s (NCA) Yarralumla Bay Recreation Hub Master Plan.
The introduction to the Wetlands section of the Yarralumla Bay Master Plan Wetlands notes:
The concrete-lined drains running from the suburb are detrimental to water quality in Lake Burley Griffin and lack the biodiversity of natural watercourses. Where hydraulically feasible, the natural features of these channels should be restored to replicate natural stream conditions, and add aesthetic and ecological value to this channel.
