Family Swimming Lake
• A family swimming lake with beaches like the one at Pegasus.
• Could also be used for family kayaking, paddle-boarding and sailing and have a sandy shore to make sandcastles.
• Could include picnic areas, gear hire like life jackets, kayaks and bikes etc, a café or restaurant and landscape features like a waterfall and bridge.
• Could have a walking/running/biking track around the outside.
Considerations:
• Water quality would have to be good enough for primary contact.
• Could be included in a larger lake complex.
• Flood risk.
• Tourism potential.
