Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback

13 April 2022

Thank you to our community for your submissions and involvement in the first stage of community engagement for Freshwater Lake, Delfin Island, West Lakes. Your feedback is valued and appreciated.

We reached over 1,800 people through this project and over 630 members of our community provided direct input.

There is significant community support for the retention of Freshwater Lake, and any option to change or reduce the size of the lake or eliminate the water body is not supported by our community.

Given the strong community support for Freshwater Lake, Council has resolved to amend the scope of this review to only look at these two options:

  • Maintain the lake in its current form and continue with existing maintenance and management practices; and
  • Maintain the lake in its current form with improvements to permanently enhance lake performance and quality, operations and management.

We will continue to inform and update our community at key points in the process. The next stage of community consultation is planned for July – August 2022.
