Lake Burley Griffin water level to drop for 2 years

The Federal Government has greenlit a $36 million project to strengthen the dissipator of Scrivener Dam. The early work will start in the next couple of weeks, before Christmas (2024) and before the main construction starts in March (2025) of next year. The whole project is set to be completed by mid-2027.

From March, the lake’s water level will also be dropped by 500 mm “for the duration of the project”.
