#Only one earth. That’s this year’s theme for World Environment Day on 5 June and it’s a fitting time for us to revisit the restoration and rehabilitation of one of Tasmania’s natural wonders – Lagoon of Islands.

The sheer power of water will be on display this weekend in Launceston at two major Hydro Tasmania events.

Specialist power and water consulting firm Entura has appointed Alan Barrett to the role of Business Development Manager, Water. Based in Darwin, Northern Territory, Mr Barrett will focus on partnering with clients in the water sector in mainland Australia.

Collaboration between Hydro Tasmania and the Inland Fisheries Service (IFS) aims to improve the fishing experience at one of Tasmania’s most iconic trout fishing lakes.

Lake Rosebery will partially reopen to the public on Saturday 22 February, just in time for the Day on the Lake event at Tullah Lakeside Lodge.

New pontoons are offering boating enthusiasts and anglers safer and more secure access to some of Tasmania’s favourite recreational and angling lakes. The three new pontoons at Jonah Bay (Arthurs Lake) and Brandum Bay (Great Lake) in Tasmania’s central highlands and at Lake Rosebery (Tullah) in Tasmania’s west are part of joint efforts by Hydro Tasmania and Marine and Safety Tasmania (MAST) to improve the safety and functionality of boating infrastructure at popular inland lakes.

A new boat launching ramp has been developed to help recreational boaters and anglers enter yingina/Great Lake at lower water levels. Hydro Tasmania and the Inland Fisheries Service have developed the new launching ramp at Boundary Bay, at a shared cost of $15,000. Meanwhile, Hydro Tasmania is pleased to announce that four boat ramps have now been re-opened at other locations.
