During his visit, MP Moylan was briefed on the efforts so far by Councillor Imad, who has been a driving force behind the lagoon’s rehabilitation. They toured the site and explored potential solutions and avenues that would assist in funding the initial consultations and the overall rehabilitation.
“It’s inspiring to see the community’s commitment to reviving this vital historical environmental asset,” said MP Moylan. “Projects like this not only enhance biodiversity but also strengthen community bonds and boost local tourism.”
Councillor Imad highlighted future plans to further enhance the reserve, strengthening the site’s connection to its indigenous heritage, improve visitor infrastructure including observation platforms, cycling tracks and picnic areas, and expand conservation measures aimed at protecting vulnerable bird species.
“The support from State MP Brendan Moylan is incredibly valuable,” said Councillor Imad. “Securing ongoing state support will be crucial as we continue our efforts to achieve the rehabilitation of the lagoon. There has been tremendous support from Guyra behind this initiative.”
