Things to do

We provide a range of great outdoor recreation facilities for the community to enjoy, attracting more than 2.7 million visitors to our lakes and recreation sites each year.

Seqwater strives to balance the ongoing health of the catchments and quality of the region’s drinking water supply while providing access to a range of water-based and on-shore activities at our dams, lakes and parks.

While a variety of activities (including boating, picnicking and fishing) are permitted at most sites, not all activities are possible.
