Landing Lights Wetland (also known as Riverine Park Wetlands), is an environmentally significant natural area. The site contains some of the last remaining saline wetlands on the Cooks River and includes vegetation identified as threatened under NSW legislation (salt-marsh).
Restoring the Wetlands
The salt marsh was rehabilitated in 2017, as a Cooks River Alliance initiative with Bayside Council.
The project aimed to increased habitat for migratory, threatened bird species and support State listed endangered ecological communities at the Landing Lights Cooks River saline wetland.
The project was supported through funding from the Australian Government.
