Lithgow Council is inviting community input to help shape a plan of management for the Lake Wallace Recreation Area to ensure the facility is appropriately managed and developed in the future.
Lake Wallace Recreation Area covers approximately 44 hectares on the western and north-western shores of Lake Wallace.
It is managed by council under a lease from EnergyAustralia. It is a popular venue for dog-walking, picnicking, exercise, fishing, sailing, kayaking and bird-watching.
The site has a baseball diamond, an off-leash dog park, Wallerawang Sailing Club and the Lake Wallace Community Boating Centre.
In recent years the Recreation Area has become increasingly used by campers as well as the caravan and RV community which, while positive, has placed additional demands on the facility.
Council has engaged open space, recreation and environmental planners Gondwana Consulting to assist in the preparation of a plan of management for the Lake Wallace Recreation Area.
The plan of management will guide the use, development and management f this valuable and increasingly popular area into the future.
