Oaklands
Wetland
Flinders’ commitment to environmental research
and teaching is fully realised in The Oaklands
Education Centre, an exciting, purpose-built home
for the partnership between the City of Marion
and Flinders University. The centre provides a
place for education, research and studies into
wetlands, and showcases the site’s stormwater
re-use scheme.
Oaklands Wetland plays an important role in
the community. Around 85,000 new plants have
created a habitat for many different species of
animals, including parrots, ducks, cockatoos and
wader birds such as spoonbills, ibis and gulls. Fish
and frogs live in the wetland, plus many different
types of insects like dragonflies and mayflies.
The wetland is fully operational and can treat up
to 400 million litres of stormwater each year.
