Precautions

The water quality in Aura Vale Lake is unsuitable for swimming as the lake is the final detention basin for waste drainage water from developed areas on the southern fringe of the Emerald Ridge. A series of open channels, detention basins and a pumping station intercept the drainage and divert it away from Cardinia Dam and into Aura Vale lake.
