The
area is located in the suburb of Eagleby bordering the Albert and Logan
Rivers and is located mid-way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast,
adjacent to the Pacific Motorway. The site is immediately
west of Moreton Bay; a Ramsar-listed Wetland of International Importance.
The
Eagleby wetlands have recorded some 195 bird species, including 17 of the
24 Australian raptors.
The tidal flats exposed at low tide provide a variety of
habitats, in particular for migratory bird species.
The
area has been identified as being a significant habitat for wildlife,
particularly frogs and birds, and the flora has been identified as being
regionally significant in Gold Coast City Council's Nature Conservation
Strategy.
