Living Lake – Discover how we care for our lake together

Have you ever thought: “Why does Currimundi Lake periodically close off to the ocean?”, or “Who is responsible for mechanically opening the Lake?”, “I wonder if there are sharks in Currimundi Lake?”. You’re not alone. Currimundi Lake is an iconic and popular natural asset enjoyed throughout the year in all its changing ‘moods’. In fact, many people consider Currimundi Lake and its surrounding parks to be the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the beautiful Sunshine Coast.

Regular visitors to the Lake notice the changes and talk about them, sometimes leading to misunderstanding or even misinformation in the community about the coastal dynamics and ecology of the Lake. There is a similar misunderstanding or lack of knowledge about which level of government and agencies are responsible for different parts of the Lake and the adjacent lands. The Sunshine Coast Council receives lots of requests to act, or is criticised about management of the Lake and its surrounds.

In response, Currimundi Catchment Care Group  in partnership with Sunshine Coast Council Council and Friends of Currimundi Lake is hosting a family friendly event at the Lake that is informative and fun.

There will be interactive displays. experts to answer your questions., lots of fun for the kids and families and a chance to win a family pass to Sea-Life, Mooloolaba.
