Eel Grass cutting at Victoria Park Lake

Posted on Monday 16th of January, 2023,

Greater Shepparton City Council will be undertaking Eel Grass cutting at Victoria Park Lake from today, Monday 16 January until Friday 27 January 2023.

The process involves the use of an aquatic harvester boat, which cuts the plant below the surface and stores the cut material on board for later disposal. Some minor offcuts may wash up on the banks during the works however these will be removed by Council.

To ensure the maintenance takes place efficiently and safely, the lake will be closed for all public use between the hours of 6am to 6pm during this period. Surrounding open space areas and playgrounds will remain open and will not be affected by the works.

“Eel Grass cutting is an important process and is part of Council’s regular routine maintenance of the area to ensure it remains a well-used community facility,” Council’s Director Infrastructure Gary Randhawa said.

“Council will ensure the works are completed efficiently and in a manner that protects the many fish and animals living in the lake.”

Council has worked with user groups to advise of the works and minimise interruptions. For further information contact council on (03) 5832 9700.
