If you use one of our below water storages for recreation, we would love to hear from you!

The updated Recreational Areas (Water) Regulations will replace the By-Law 106 - Recreational Areas in August 2023.
The updated regulations are needed so you can continue to use water storages that are formally determined as ‘Recreational Areas’ under the Water Act 1989.
The regulations will continue to ensure the safety of visitors and the protection of water quality, water corporation facilities, Aboriginal cultural heritage, and environmental values.
You can register your interest to:
• Be informed by email when the draft regulations are available
• Let us know if you would like to attend an information session
• Tell us what recreational activities you enjoy currently
• Tell us which recreational areas you are interested in
