Title: Lake Wivenhoe Recreation Notice
Post by: Editor on November 06, 2015, 09:50:18 PM
Temporary closure of O'Shea's Crossing 
ate: 04/11/2015   - Seqwater

O’Shea’s Crossing at Lake Wivenhoe is temporarily closed to paddle craft access due to the detection of blue-green algae.

Signage has been placed at the site to advise community members.

Blue-green algae blooms generally occur in the warmer months due to increased water temperature and optimal light conditions.

Seqwater is closely monitoring algae levels and will re-open the closed recreation area to water-based activities when levels fall to within acceptable limits.

Further information on blue-green algae can be found in Seqwater’s fact sheet at www.seqwater.com.au/about/publications/fact-sheets (http://www.seqwater.com.au/about/publications/fact-sheets).
