Lake Wollumboola Groundwater Study Update

Council have engaged HGEO to conduct a groundwater investigation of the site to determine the extent of the groundwater catchment of Lake Wollumboola. The preliminary part of this investigation is complete and has determined that the following work is needed:

1.The Groundwater and Lake levels need to be monitored for 2 years

2.A soil and rock core needs to be taken and tested

This conclusion has been supported by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.

Council is currently organising the financing and logistics for the commencement of the monitoring and sampling so that the investigation can progress.
