The new wetland at Belconnen Oval in Canberra aims to reduce pollution from stormwater runoff into Lake Ginninderra and decrease the likelihood of toxic blue-green algae blooms. It is designed to filter around 30% of nutrients and solids from the water, marking the territory's first stormwater wetland that also filters water underground through plant roots.
