Aldinga Washpool Lagoon

Ecological Associates report on environmental water requirements commissioned by CoO in 2003.

Ecological Associates Pty Ltd was engaged by the Onkaparinga Catchment Water Management Board and the City of Onkaparinga to assess the environmental water requirements of the Washpool, Blue Lagoon and the Aldinga Scrub. These ecosystems support plant associations and fauna of conservation significance, including rare and threatened species and migratory birds protected by international treaties. The wetlands and springs of the area have considerable Aboriginal heritage value. These ecosystems have been degraded through by past drainage works and they continue to be threatened.
