Sandringham Lagoon is a 2.2 km long wetland located at the headwaters of Sandringham Creek in Balberra (South of Mackay). The lagoon retains habitat for waterbirds and migratory fish species and acts as a retention basin for run off from a sugar cane dominated catchment. The environmental threats included fish passage barriers, invasive weed infestations choking the system and poor riparian vegetation condition.
