  • Community and Resources Meeting Monday 19 July 2021
    COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES MEETING MONDAY 19 JULY 2021 ATTACHMENT 1 OF 2 TO ITEM CR21.74 Draft Perry Lakes Management Plan 2021-2031 Town of Cambridge Perry Lakes Management Plan 2021-2031 Perry Lakes Management Plan 2021 - 2031 Executive Summary Situated between Perry Lakes Estate, Oceanic Drive, Bold Park and Underwood Avenue, Perry Lakes Reserve in Floreat Western Australia is an iconic regional park with a rich history. The land now occupied by Perry Lakes Estate was home of the Athletic Stadium used during the Empire Games (Commonwealth Games) which were held in Perth in 1962. Over the last thirty years the water levels in both the east and west lake have declined to the point that both lakes are dry for many of the warmer months of the year. Perry Lakes water levels are directly influenced by groundwater levels in the superficial (Gnangara Mound) aquifer and directly impacted by changes in the water cycle. Significant impacts have been observed through increased water abstraction for irrigation and public drinking water and compounded by reduction in annual rainfall which is anticipated to further decline over the coming decades due to climate change. The Town is preparing to re-direct freshwater which is currently flowing out to sea north of Floreat Beach through a Water Corporation stormwater drain (Herdsman Main Drain) to both water bodies at Perry Lakes, this will provide localised groundwater recharge and increase levels in both lakes during the warmer and drier months of the year. As a result of this significant urban water management project there are a number of opportunities to reinvigorate the site through increased use and improved biodiversity values by implementing strategic management actions in this regional open space and conservation category wetland.
