About the wetlands
The Seaford Wetlands are one of the largest remaining natural wetlands in the Port Phillip and Western Port region, and are recognised internationally for their exceptional environmental and educational significance.
The Department of Environment, Energy and Climate Action (DEECA) and local partners are completing landscaping and environmental works to improve and rejuvenate the wetlands. The works include upgrades to walking paths and improvements to wetland facilities.
Where are the wetlands?
The wetlands are about 50 kilometres south-east of Melbourne's CBD on Bunurong Country.
When will the project be completed?
The Wetlands are open for the public to enjoy now, and areas of works will be opened as they are completed.
The works at Seaford Wetlands are being completed in stages.
