Why we're consulting

The aim is to review the current site use and limitations, specific user needs, environmental and built infrastructure requirements.The master plan will consolidate information to allow for a unified approach for site improvement.

Once the project is complete, Gateway Lakes will have an individual master plan developed. This will identify the needs of the individual precinct to improve formal and informal recreation opportunities, infrastructure, amenity and connectivity.The project will investigate previous master planning related to the site against the current and future need of the precinct based on demographics, considering the overarching vision of the Wodonga Council Plan.

Gateway Lakes is a man-made water precinct at the northern end of the Lincoln Causeway, Gateway Island that supports the operations of the Gateway Lakes User Group Wodonga (GLUGW), who are an incorporated body of five water sports clubs that lease the site. These clubs represent four different water sports. The site has capacity to host some regional, state and national level events for these sports increasing visitation to the area. The Albury Wodonga Orienteering Club also has facilities within the precinct.

The Gateway Lakes precinct has been reviewed within the Gateway Island Master Plan 2018. The objective of this planning was to establish an overarching long-term vision and values for the entire area with a lens towards future planning and business opportunities for tourism and social interaction. As part of this planning, recommendations for potential usage and improvements in each precinct were made related to the river, environment, social, activity, amenity, tourism and economic opportunities at a high level.
