Coronet Bay Wetlands

Thank you to all for your comments and hopefully votes for this much wanted community project. Protecting the environment as well as the bird and wildlife is incredibly important to the Coronet Bay residents as well as the wider community. Bass Coast is currently experiencing phenomenal growth so it's important to enhance and protect this tranquil and peaceful wetland for the use of generations to come.
Good luck to all the projects and thank you to the State Govt for allowing every Victorian to have a voice.

Great idea however the location might cause more tension than relief. If the map is accurate this is the intersection of multiple users. For some years there has been great discussion between the locals, holiday makers, dog walkers and horse users who all use this entrance to the beach. The council has created a set of zones that placate and provide for all users. Whilst protecting birdlife is important, it would be disappointing that these conversations were raised yet again on the back end of a new set of stakeholders.

Concern with this project is that stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, potentially spreading disease to humans and animals.

This project is overdue Coronet Bay has been neglected especially this beautiful location its overgrown and needs loving care and to be enjoyed by all in the area and from afar......

Sounds really cool!

This is a beautiful billabong with copious bird life and frogs. The sounds at dusk and dawn are unbelievable. Must be preserved but safer access should be available but not too close.

The wetlands sit in the remnants of the last surviving grove of Coastal Banksia on this eastern side of Western Port Bay. An additional reason for funding this project.

It would be great if it could be extended down to and include the footbridge over the creek. That would make it a fantastic recreational showpiece. However the works originally set out would be a great start to making this end of Coronet Bay more appealing.

A great idea. Often thought more should be made of these wetlands.

So important to preserve these wonderful wetlands.

What a fantastic idea as this could be such a beautiful peaceful area that many people could use.

It’s really amazing that so many people have made such positive comments, its apparent that this is a much-needed initiative for the Coronet Bay community. Make sure that everyone who wants to see the best for our town votes and spreads the word!!

What an incredible initiative... completely community-driven. Hats off to the project organsisers for all of the effort they’ve put in despite all the challenges. Would feel blessed to have this as a part of such a loving, vibrant community!

Areas like the wetlands are becoming rare and need to be valued.

What a great idea. Wonderful way to enjoy the natural environment.

A necessary project to protect the local wildlife

We love to go for long walks every day. It would be wonderful to go there with our grandchildren and enjoy nature.

An essential area requiring preservation and expansion. Natural wildlife preservation in the area.

Great idea for locals and visitors to the area .

This project will only enhance a truely beautiful peaceful, tranquil area for all to enjoy.

Coronet Bay Wetlands will be a great asset to the local community and the surrounding areas.

A beautiful and peaceful spot for all to enjoy.

As a resident of the town, I love to take walks and listen to the bird calls. The wetlands and banksia grove provide an important habitat. Establishing a path will provide environmentally sensitive access.

This project will provide protection for this important environmental asset as well as furthering the wider community enjoyment and appreciation right beside our town

This idea I first heard of from Stanley and I thought at the time GREAT. Now a few years down the track, I still think its a great idea. Bird lovers from all over would also appreciate it.
