Lake St Clair (Leeawuleena) - radial gate upgrades

Hydro Tasmania is the owner and operator of the Lake St Clair radial gates, including the associated infrastructure.

The radial gates are large water-control gates that let us control the flow of water from Lake St Clair into Lake King William. They help us safely manage lake levels, especially during wet weather, and ensure water is released in a controlled and predictable way.

Initially Hydro Tasmania considered refurbishment of the control gates commissioned in 1930 at Lake St Clair however, due to the age of the gates (95 years old) it was decided to replace the gates with new gates to secure the safe operation of the gates for the years to come.
