Oakeshott Swamped
Our intrepid local federal Member for Lyne, Rob Oakeshott, recently toured one of the hidden gems in our Three Brothers region, the Cattai Wetland between Moorland and Coopernook, just east of the Pacific Highway. Council started the restoration project in 2003 by arranging with a local dairy farmer to acquire his land and return it to it's natural state along Coopernook Creek and Cattai Creeks (see map).
 The Cattai Wetlands Project will give the Three Brothers Region a wonderful public asset
Federal funding has been vital to making meaningful headway with the project, and once Council had a Plan of Management in place, work began in earnest. After much planning, the first of a series of boardwalks was built through the beautiful tea tree and mixed swamps in the heart of the wetland along the two creeks.
Rob Oakeshott visited the Cattai Wetlands last week to have a look at progress on the project, also going up towards Moorland to see the Big Swamp area as well.
