All of Seqwater’s recreation sites, including our lakes, remain closed to recreation due to the severe weather event associated with Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Once conditions are safe, we will check for hazards and re-open lakes as soon as possible. We thank lake visitors for their understanding and patience.
