Council is investigating options to upgrade the existing detention basin into a planted wetland, as proposed in the original concept designs.

A planted wetland would improve habitat value, pedestrian amenity (including pathways, seating and shade), stormwater quality and site flooding issues.

In September 2015 the former Marrickville Council resolved the following:

From Notice of Motion: Naming of the Camdenville Park wetland as the Peter Bulger Wetlands - 15 September 2015:

"Pete was a passionate local environmentalist who was responsible for organising many activities in his local area including tree planting and clean up events, he was also the treasurer of his local PNC.

Pete operated at many levels in his local community from family man to environmentalist and promoter of St Peters, amongst his many interests were home brewing, this has been recognised by local boutique brewery Willie the Boatman who have named a beer in his honour; “The Bulger”.

Pete was taken from us on September 6, 2013 after a long but optimistic battle with brain cancer. He touched many local residents’ hearts in the way he pursued his environmental and local area promotional dreams."

Depending on the outcome of this consultation, Council intends to apply to the Geographical Naming Board to formalise the naming.
