Guidance
Factors to be considered when planning and designing constructed lakes in urban and rural areas
Last updated:

This position statement provides guidance to developers, landowners, local government and State Government agencies on issues that should be considered when constructed lakes are created in urban (i.e. residential, commercial and industrial) areas for drainage, irrigation storage, recreation or aesthetic purposes; and in rural areas if they are created solely or partly for recreation or aesthetic purposes (e.g. adjacent to wineries, restaurants, accommodation and tourism facilities).
