SummaryNaturalisation of a stormwater channel with the addition of a high flow diversion and an off-line bio retention system up stream of Ironpot Creek in the Bremer River.
BenefitsStormwater quality improvement, aesthetic and habitat/connectivity along the Ironpot Creek corridor.
LessonThe bioretention basin contained a saturated zone to maintain moisture in the filter media zone. It also utilised an elevated water level during establishment to provide good soil moisture conditions during establishment. It utilises natural groundwater infiltration and evaporation as well as a filter medium and plant uptake to remove sediment and nutrient loads.
