The Fitzroy Gardens stormwater harvesting system captures, treats and stores stormwater to be reused for irrigation in the park. It is estimated that system will replace 59% of the drinking water used for irrigating the park.
The system was built as part of a larger project on the former depot in Fitzroy Gardens which includes new public open space, new depot facilities and a Visitor Centre.
