Light raking to remove aquatic weeds at Centenary Lakes

Council crews will lightly rake the surface at Centenary Lakes to remove aquatic weeds and other dead material for three days from Wednesday 26 July.

A long arm excavator will skim the surface to help open the waterway, improve water flow and provide wading birds with a better landing zone onto the lake.

The light rake, which part of routine maintenance, is expected to finish on Friday, 28 July 2023.

Once works are completed and the machine leaves the site, the lake may look cloudy for several days.

The aim of this project is to improve aesthetics and make the waterway more manageable for all living things that call Freshwater Lake home.
