Fivebough Wetlands walking track works

We are making improvements at Fivebough Wetlands to upgrade the water management systems.

These works will help water to move more efficiently through the wetlands and stop erosion that’s damaging the walking track.

From 25 April 2026, we’ll be upgrading a water control structure and completing channel remediation works to protect the wetland and walking track.

The project will:

• protect the walking track by preventing ongoing erosion
• improve water flow to support healthier wetland conditions
• reduce safety risks for people using the track and lookouts
• protect a Ramsar‑listed wetland of international importance
• support long‑term planning and management of Fivebough Wetlands.

During construction, you may notice:

• temporary closure of the Fivebough Wetlands walking track
• construction vehicles and machinery in the area
• detours directing visitors to the alternative lookout at Hooey's Lookout.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation.
