Bushland Management Services planted 47,000 native plants into the bioretention basins in a project that began in 2015 in partnership with Canterbury Bankstown City Council. The ponds improve water quality, reduce erosion and flood risk, and give habitat to waterbirds, small reptiles and amphibians. Ibis are commonly seen around the large freshwater pond.
