New midge treatment method being trialled

You may have noticed a boat operating on Lake Brearley in recent weeks.

Please be aware the City is currently trialling some equipment to mechanically disturb the sediment within the Lake to help reduce midge breeding.

Similar equipment is currently being used overseas with favourable results.

The City will monitor the outcomes from these trials to determine the effectiveness and whether this control should be incorporated into the City’s Mosquito and Midge Management Plan.
