Further Information

Laanecoorie is currently open for boating. 

G-MW encourages boaters to be vigilant at all times while boating on storages. Following recent floods there may be floating flood debris which can be a hazard to high speed boating. G-MW advises boat operators to wear personal floatation devises, maintain a lookout for hazards at all times and to use only designated boat ramps.

Any changes to local boating restrictions are signposted at boat ramps and around the storages.
