Lindsay Island

The Lindsay Island Floodplain Management Project will restore the condition of the landscape, protecting threatened vegetation and the ecological and cultural values of the site, through improved water quality, flows and inundation. The flows aims to see stable frog and fish populations, improved productivity of wetlands, improved breeding habitat for waterbirds and restoration of populations of species such as the carpet python.
