Floating Wetlands at Harrington Park Lake
Council installed a floating wetland raft in Harrington Park Wetland, upstream of Harrington Park
Lake. The wetland is designed to improve water quality entering the lake by removing pollutants
including nutrients, metals, sediment and some hydrocarbons and has a range of plant species planted
into the floating raft. The plants act to remove pollutants through biofilms that live on the submerged
roots and leaves. Floating wetlands also create habitat for essential water bugs, fish, waterbirds,
turtles and eels.
