Lake Burley Griffin.
Special conditions apply to the use of Lake Burley Griffin that are outlined in the National Capital Authority's Lake Burley Griffin Management Plan. The Authority will generally only consider approving up to two powerboat events on the Lake each year.
In appraising events proposed on the Lake special consideration will also be given to routine lake recreational uses such as sailing, rowing, fishing and swimming, ferry boat operations, environmental impacts, and to routine lake maintenance.
Regular water quality testing undertaken by the Authority can return results that may necessitate lake closures and the cancellation of events on the Lake. Proponents of events on the Lake are advised to take such issues into their considerations.
