Kooragang Wetlands
KWRP covers
1590 hectares on three sites in the Hunter River estuary
adjacent to a major port and industrial complex as well
as a large urban area (Newcastle) in New South Wales.
It is one of the largest active coastal rehabilitation
projects in Australia. KWRP was initiated in 1993 to
compensate for the loss of fish, shorebird and other
wildlife habitat in the Hunter estuary caused by 200
years of draining, filling and clearing.
