Lachlan Shire Council has several projects planned to be undertaken at Gum Bend Lake in the coming off season. The work must be completed by 30 June 2024 to meet grant conditions. To complete these projects the water level in the lake must be low and therefore, the lake has not been refilled since Christmas.

The water level has been gradually dropping; however, the recent very hot weather has increased evaporation and caused the water level to fall much faster than expected. As a result, the lake will be closed to all motorised water sport activities from Monday 11 March 2024. 

The camping grounds, walkway, playground, picnic facilities and amenities will still be open and able to be enjoyed.

The planned works include the removal of the tyre bank, reconstruction of the foreshore area and refurbishment of the swimming area. The works will be completed prior to the lake being refilled ready to open for the 2024/2025 summer season.
