Minister for the Interior Mr Fresh announced plans to call tenders soon for the lake dam construction. Landscaping and engineering work would start shortly while dam area stripping began. The lake, envisioned by Walter Burley Griffin, remains central to Canberra’s plan.

The commission notes a push to unify central areas amid rapid northern and southern expansion.
