Lake Albert Cleanup Shifts to Eastern Shore

Remediation works along the Lake Albert foreshore are tracking well, with major upgrades on the western embankment now complete.

Contractors are scheduled to begin works on the eastern foreshore this week, marking the next stage of the Lake Albert Pipeline and Precinct Renewal Project.

The remediation has involved installing new rock walls at key points to stabilise the shoreline and reduce erosion.

In other areas, durable sandbagging is being used to reinforce the foreshore and improve safety for the community to access the lake precinct for walking, fishing, boating and other recreational use.

A bed of small to medium rocks lines the edge of a lake. White sandbags sit along the rocky edge in the foreground, next to a small patch of green grass. The lake fills the middle and background.

Council is asking residents and visitors to be mindful of increased construction activity in the area over the coming weeks. Traffic management and signage will be in place to ensure safe access around the site.

"These works are designed to preserve the shoreline and provide safer, more accessible foreshore areas for everyone who uses Lake Albert," said Manager City Growth & Regional Assets Ben Creighton.

"We greatly appreciate the community's patience and cooperation as we move toward the installation of the pipeline."
