New speed limit at Greens Lake

Goulburn-Murray Water manager storage operations south Paul Beard said the new rules would help ensure public safety.

“Water levels at the lake are slowly dropping due to evaporation and will reach 47.4 per cent around the end of the year,” Mr Beard said.

“At this level, the lake is quite shallow and can pose a risk to people travelling at speed.”

The new speed limit will remain in place until the lake’s storage rises above 47.4 per cent.

Mr Beard asked everyone visiting the lake in the coming weeks to make safety a priority.

“On its busier days during the summer, Greens Lake can attract more than 1000 visitors,” he said.

“It is important, not only for their own safety but the safety of those around them, that everyone who visits does the right thing and sticks to the rules.”

The lake will be closed on New Year’s Eve for safety reasons.
