Cheetham wetlands (Point Cook), Vic
 

Located approximately 20km south west of Melbourne, the Cheetham wetlands lie on the western shores of Port Phillip Bay, close to the expanding City of Wyndham.

The 420 ha artificial lagoons and a natural lagoon are Ramsar listed.

They support internationally significant populations of seven species of shorebird including the Double-banded Plover, Curlew Sandpiper, Red-necked Stint, Red-necked Avocet, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Banded Stilt and Pacific Golden Plover.

The Revive project at Cheetham Wetlands involves a wide range of community members in practical conservation projects associated with the wetlands. Activities include reducing the extent of invasive weed species, bird monitoring, weed mapping and restoration works to various channel and flume systems.
