Raingarden





Following the heavy rains which have left their stormwater mark on our beaches, there has been some discussion about putting litter traps on council's stormwater drains. An alternative approach, a raingarden, is being installed on the corner of Dow and Beach St. A raingarden has the advantage of capturing litter and other pollutants before they even get to the beach and the bay - unlike at present when the stormwater gouges its litter laden way through the beach.
