From Friday 5 June 2020, lakes and land managed by Hydro Tasmania will be open for boating, camping, fishing, exercise and other recreational activities. Social distancing, hygiene and gathering size restrictions apply.
Site closures, or access restricted, due to maintenance.
Works will continue into late November 2020, during this period there will be increased traffic on Murchison Dam Road. For public safety, this road will be closed to all public vehicles.
We are undertaking works to construct an eel bypass through Trevallyn Dam, which will allow the downstream migration of adult eels.
The work to construct the eel bypass continues at Trevallyn Dam, with Lake Trevallyn being drawn down below its notification level of 125.0m (or 1.5m from full).
The lake level is now not expected to refill above 125.0m until the end of May 2020.
To ensure safety for everyone at the worksite, lake levels will be drawn down until construction is completed, after which lake levels will return to normal.
If you need more information, give us a call during business hours on 1300 360 441, or email contactus@hydro.com.au.

Visitors to Lake Augusta please be aware that we have discovered material in the camping area near the toilets that may contain asbestos. Testing of this material is currently underway.
The campground and toilets are safe and remain open, with a small area blocked off to public access.
Please help us to reduce any risk to visitors by staying out of the restricted area.
We are taking all appropriate steps to secure and remediate the area.
The Bailey bridge on Lake Repulse Road is being temporarily closed until a replacement is built.
New locked boom gates area being installed at both ends of the bridge as a safety precaution. The load rating of the bridge has been reduced to 3.5 tonnes to allow ongoing safe operation for access to the Repulse Power Station only.
