Recently, as part of a series of activities undertaken by five Geelong based Rotary clubs, members of the public were invited to join with Rotarians for a preview of Sparrovale, a newly developing Wetland.
The Wetland is a City of Geelong project and is 500 hectares of land that will capture stormwater runoff from the Armstrong Creek development. Progressively the Council will create Public spaces, remove pest plants and wildlife and replace it with native flora and fauna.
Sparrovale will eventually be connected to the Barwon River Trail and will be promoted to the public and visitors to Geelong.
At present, it is not open to the public to visit. The Rotary activity was a special event and allowed both Rotarians and non-Rotarians a once off visit.
The project is a long-term activity, expected to be completed around 2040.
