The City of Greater Geelong is a finalist for an Industry Leader award in the Premier's Sustainability Awards 2022 – Thriving environment category. The City of Greater Geelong is revitalising Sparrovale-Nubitj yoorree Reserve for the fast-growing community at Armstrong Creek.
Adjoining the Barwon River and the Lake Connewarre State Game Reserve, the 500-hectare site was acquired by the council as part of a plan to open a large new wetlands park for nature-based recreational and educational activities in Geelong’s south. This plan will provide an end-of-drainage solution for stormwater treatment and storage, as well as supporting a sustainable wetland and waterway wildlife reserve.
