The recently opened Centennial Park Wetland took out the Grahame Heal Water Sensitive Urban Design Award at the Australian Water Association Western Australian Water Awards 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covering 1.1\nhectares and fully accessible by the public, the wetland was recognised for its\nintegrated design approach which balanced traditional hydraulic and\ndrainage needs with water treatment, as well as local ecological and community requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by the City of Albany in partnership with the Department\nof Water and Environmental Regulation\u2019s Regional Estuaries Initiative (REI) and\nengineering consultant GHD, Centennial\nPark Wetland is the first constructed wetland in Albany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the win, REI Coordinator Jennifer Stritzke said the\nrecognition provided an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the\ninitiative and its project partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCentennial Park Wetland has transformed a section of\nYakamia Creek that flows into Oyster Harbour from a degraded drain into a\nwetland that the community can enjoy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing honoured with this award further recognises the hard\nwork and teamwork demonstrated by all involved in bringing this partnership\nproject to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REI was also named runner up for the Program Innovation\nAward on the night \u2013 acknowledging the unique design of the initiative to\nincorporate science, planning, management and on-ground actions across multiple\ncatchments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cREI would not be\nsuccessful without its partners. Over 200 individuals have been involved in delivering\nmore than 70 projects and these achievements are a recognition of the power of\ncollaboration\u201d Jennifer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The <\/em>Australian Water Association Western Australian Water Awards<\/em><\/a> acknowledge exceptional achievements by individuals and organisations in the WA water industry. WA award winners have the opportunity to enter the Association\u2019s National Awards, held annually.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
