Maylands Lakes Scientific Advisory Panel holds first meeting

The newly convened Maylands Lakes Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) met for its first workshop on Thursday 22 February, where Associate Professor Mark Lund was unanimously elected SAP Chair.

The group began by reviewing the history, current state of knowledge and key issues affecting Maylands Lakes, before undertaking a site visit to Lake Brearley and Lake Bungana.

The remainder of the workshop focused on identifying potential drivers of the key issues, followed by a process to identify options to treat these issues.

A second workshop, scheduled for Wednesday 13 March, will look at narrowing these options via a more detailed analysis that will provide considerations for the development of future scope of works for Maylands Lakes.
