(5D) Lagoon Vegetation (Glenbrook Lagoon)
Lagoon Vegetation (Glenbrook Lagoon) is the wetland vegetation associated with Glenbrook Lagoon. This waterbody is the only naturally occurring upland lagoon in the City, although wetland vegetation has also developed around artificially created water bodies such as Wentworth Falls Lake and Woodford Lake. Glenbrook Lagoon consists of an area of open water with submerged aquatic vegetation, surrounded by extensive reedbeds dominated by the large sedges Lepironia articulata and Eleocharis sphacelata. Fringing the reedbeds is a narrow band of low paperbark trees Melaleuca linariifolia.
