  • Please read and understand signs displayed at the lake. 
  • Power boats are only permitted on the lake from 10.00 am until sunset (Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays) or 5:00 pm until sunset (Monday to Friday).
  • Due to the size and locality of the lake jetskis are NOT PERMITTED.
  • All power boat drivers must hold a current Victorian boat licence and insurance.  Your boat licence must be produced if requested by police.
  • Only two power boats are permitted at one time on the lake and must travel in clockwise direction.    When more than two boats are present, the 15 minutes continuous operation or five circuits of the lake at one time rule applies.  (Read details on board)
  • All persons towed behind boats must wear buoyancy suits or life jackets.
  • The .05 rule applies on water as well as the road.  Random breath tests may be carried out by police.

 

IF EVERYBODY OBEYS THE RULES, THERE SHOULD BE HAPPY AND SAFE BOATING FOR ALL.
