Overview
Monash Grasslands are associated with the Isabella Pond Healthy Waterways initative to improve water quality and climate resilience of Natural Temperate Grasslands in the Lake Tuggeranong area. The majority of Tuggeranong Creek is a concrete stormwater open drain. Monash Grasslands is an area of Natural Temperate Grassland next to Isabella Pond which supports biodiversity values. This corridor offers the potential to expand grassland and riparian ecosystem values within the urban area.
