Moomba Park Wetland
Kathleen MATTHEWS-WARD (Broadmeadows) (10:28): I rise to thank the Victorian Labor government for their investment in the magnificent Moomba Park Wetland, which I opened alongside the member for Preston on Saturday. Jointly funded by Merri-bek City Council, the wetland catches and treats stormwater, provides habitat for the growling grass frog and other endangered species and provides a beautiful and interactive recreation space for the community to enjoy. I would like to thank the Merri Creek Management Committee and Friends of Merri Creek for their work and Wurundjeri elder Uncle Bill Nicholson Jr for generously sharing his cultural knowledge with us.
