Freshwater Lake, also known as the Delfin Island duck ponds, is much-loved by our community. We are planning for the future of Freshwater Lake and we have developed future options for community consideration and feedback.

All options maintain the lake in its existing form and offer different approaches to improve lake water quality as well as ongoing management. Community sentiment gathered in the stage one consultation told us there are four key actions our community want for Freshwater Lake:

• Plan for the future
• Improve water quality
• Enhance biodiversity
• Activate the place

We have developed principles and future options that address the first three actions; the fourth action “activate the place” can follow once we establish the best option for managing the lake.

Future options for Freshwater Lake:

• Option 1: Existing system - Maintain the lake in its current form and continue with existing maintenance and management practices.
• Option 2A: Off-line treatment - Maintain the lake in its current form with structural and management improvements to permanently enhance lake performance and quality, operations, and management.
• Option 2B: In-line treatment - Maintain the lake in its current form with structural and management improvements to permanently enhance lake performance and quality, operations, and management.
