Supporting Sustainable Change
Today, Lake Bonney and its surrounds are actively promoted to tourists and have become popular for camping, off road biking and driving, picnics, horse riding, jet skiing, walking and cycling. These activities are not always conducted in sustainable ways and are major contributors to the ecological and cultural degradation around Lake Bonney.
These activities are also predominantly undertaken in peak holiday seasons, and result in higher impacts on Lake Bonney and surrounds. Without protection, conservation and restoration efforts of the ecology and culture, there is no future for activities that generate economic benefits for the community.
Further updates on the Plan will be provided throughout the project duration.
