Families are flocking to south east Queensland’s lakes in record numbers to enjoy the great leisure opportunities on offer following the Seqwater’s recreation review.

Visitors have been urged to be ‘DAM smart’ on and around South East Queensland dams over the September school holidays.

Seqwater Chief Executive Officer Peter Dennis said Seqwater would again work with the Queensland Police Service to conduct patrols around the region’s major dams to enforce safe and responsible behaviour on and off the water.

“As the weather warms up, many holiday makers and day trippers will spend time at the recreation areas at Seqwater’s dams,” Mr Dennis said.

Seqwater is set to undertake a major new water quality study to help shape the future recreation for the region’s lakes and surrounding catchments.

Seqwater is undertaking a major and more detailed water quality assessment of Lake Samsonvale. This assessment will help us to better understand what recreation could be accommodated into the future without impacting on water quality.

Seqwater will soon commence works to replace a valve on a bulk water main at the corner of Tarrant Drive and Gold Coast Springbrook Road, Mudgeeraba.
