Maylands Lakes update

At its April 2025 meeting, Council endorsed the Maylands Lakes Environmental Restoration Concept Report, with $2.4 million allocated to implement Phase 1 actions in the City's 2025/26 Budget.

As part of this, you may notice a range of activities taking place around the Lakes and foreshore areas over the coming months. These works are part of detailed investigations and planning to guide future restoration and design.

What you might see happening:

• Sediment sampling carried out by boats and specialist contractors
• Ground surveys by licensed surveyors
• Bathymetric surveys using boats and aquatic drones
• Onsite supplier meetings associated with Phoslock trials and detailed design
• A landscape audit, including review of structures and jetties, to inform landscape design.

Due to high water levels, the City has temporarily closed access to the footpath near Tourer Court as a precautionary measure. Access will reopen when the water level drops.
