Sections of Valley Lakes area now open

City of Mount Gambier has today (Monday 14 February 2022) reopened Davison Drive, the Valley Lake Conservation Park, playground and picnic areas and Freemans Landing for public use after a fire that burned 50 hectares of grass and scrub in the Crater Lakes precinct in January 2022.

The second stage of the phased reopening process follows ongoing damage and risk assessments in the area.

“I am sure our community will be pleased to hear that people can access Davison Drive, the Valley Lake Conservation Park, playground and picnic areas and Freemans Landing once again,” City of Mount Gambier CEO Sarah Philpott said.
