Lake Brearley rehabilitation

The City is working to restore and enhance the vegetated area around Lake Brearley as part of water quality improvement works.

The project aims to:

• improve water quality
• provide habitat for native animals
• improve the visual amenity of the Lake.

Works will take place over October and November 2025 and will involve:

• treatment of all non-native vegetation
• removal of approximately 200 invasive woody weeds/tree species (Casuarina cunninghamii, Melaleuca quinquenervia and Callistemon)
• modification of the bank to allow for revegetation
• installation of clean fill, topsoil and mulch
• a Community Planting Day on Sunday 26 October to install 2,500 native plant species
• installation of reticulation

During the works, a temporary fence and signage will be in place to ensure community safety with pedestrian management.
