(3) ACT Health Directorate (ACTHD) undertakes sampling and analysis of designated primary contact recreational (swimming) sites for microbiological analysis. These are undertaken to manage risks to human users of the sites and results are assessed against the Guidelines.
ACTHD undertakes weekly sampling and analysis of primary contact recreational sites across ACT lakes and rivers during the recreational season (October-April). These include sites in Lake Ginninderra, Lake Tuggeranong, Molonglo Reach and along the Molonglo and Murrumbidgee river corridors.
Results of weekly sampling are published on the City Services website: www.cityservices.act.gov.au/news/news-and-events-items/water_quality_in_our_lakes_and_ponds
(4) As Yerrabi Pond is not a designated primary contact recreational site, it has not been subject to ACTHD testing. The Canberra Urban Lakes and Ponds Land Management Plan 2022 (the Plan) sets out a Vision for Canberra’s Urban Lakes and Ponds and a framework for the sustainable development and management of urban lakes and ponds, while meeting the management objectives as defined under the Planning and Development Act 2007.
The Plan is publicly available via the ACT Legislation Register: www.legislation.act.gov.au/View/di/2022-10/current/PDF/2022-10.PDF
