Title: Lake Wivenhoe Temporary Speed Limit
Post by: Editor on March 07, 2016, 11:55:42 PM
New temporary speed limit for competition fishers on Lake Wivenhoe 10-13 March 2016 
From Seqwater - Date: 01/03/2016   

Lake Wivenhoe will host a fishing competition from Thursday 10 March to Sunday 13 March.
Competition participants will be excepted from the 6 knot speed limit and will be able to travel in defined areas at up to 40 knots for the purposes of the competition only. Lake Wivenhoe will remain open for non-competition fishers at the usual 6 knot speed limit.
The 40 knot speed limit will be exclusive to the centre of the lake with three sections remaining at the 6 knot limit for all boating. These areas are around Logan Inlet, the dam wall and the northern reaches above the Esk intake tower. Seqwater will be on hand to monitor speeds in the designated areas.
Harmon Cove will be the central base for the event.
All visitors are asked to observe signage and remain vigilant at all times, especially when sharing the competition fishing area.

Queries regarding speed limits on the lake, please contact our Recreation Team by calling 1800 737 928 or emailing recreation@seqwater.com.au   
All other enquiries regarding the competition should be directed to Somerset Regional Council.

Would love to be able to explore that no boating area. I believe that is where all the fish are hiding.

Cheers Andrew

Now that the lake is open to petrol outboards, there is no reason to have such a massive exclusion zone.  There should be an exclusion zone around the wall and an exclusion zone around the Splityard Creek Intake area.  There is some good water and structure down there in no-man's land.

The spelling on the sign is correct, but the Map is incorrect.
