A slice of Canberra's central, artificial lake will be filled in to make way for more parkland and development, under an ambitious plan to bring more people to the area.
A wide boardwalk would be built as well as two public jetties, from which people could launch sailboats and kayaks, and board ferries. Mr Snow pointed out that the proposed new shoreline reflected the original plan for the lake by its namesake — American architect Walter Burley Griffin. Mr Snow said any future development would prioritise public access, and private buildings would be "set substantially back from the waterfront"."There are, of course, people in Canberra who have argued that they just want to leave that part of Acton the way it is.
One of those residents is Mike Lawson, a member of the non-profit group Lake Burley Griffin Guardians. "That's why the maximum height of development will be no more than approximately six to seven storeys, and it'll step down to the lake edge, but be substantially setback from the water's edge," he said.
