The biological significance of Banyule Flats lies in the integrity of the Banyule Swamp and the diversity of the Banyule Billabong habitat, Transient wetlands have great potential for ecological maintenance as well as urban experiences. Especially with future increases in extreme weather, seasonal wetlands could provide urban refuge for birds and amphibians, allowing them to breed or forage in short-lived water systems. However, because river regulation reduces riparian flooding, and the transient wetlands of the Banyule floodplain rely solely on the influence of flooding river processes, they currently cannot support seasonal herbaceous wetland communities.

The restored seasonal landscape not only provides more habitat space but also allows visitors to experien
