Following initial dredging works at the southern marina at Lake Fyans, GWMWater has secured more funding from Better Boating Victoria to improve access onto Lake Fyans for larger vessels year-round.
Water levels at Lake Fyans have been closely managed over the past nine months in order to deliver a major upgrade to the dam wall during 2022. This upgrade is required to ensure the dam wall continues to meet safety standards into the future.
GWMWater is maximising the opportunity of the lower water level to undertake works to improve long-term boat access onto Lake Fyans at both the marina and eastern boat ramp near Lake Fyans Holiday Park. This means that the lake will remain at lower levels during the Easter period.
Lake Fyans remains open for recreational and boating use and is fifty-five percent full as of Wednesday 6 April 2022.

Lake Fyans is set to receive an upgrade over the warmer months as GWMWater carry out works on the embankment and marina.
Water levels in the reservoir have been slightly lowered to enable completion of the embankment upgrade, which is essential to preserve the integrity of the dam wall and ensure it meets dam safety standards.
In the early stages of the works, GWMWater will also desilt and deepen the marina to provide access for larger boats while the project is underway and into the future.
GWMWater is part of an innovative project aimed to save energy and reduce carbon emissions by using power more intelligently.
GWMWater has partnered with Gippsland Water, Centre for New Energy Technologies (C4NET), and researchers at Federation University and RMIT University to explore smarter ways to use electricity.
