In the short term, more frequent openings can lead to increased exposure and death of aquatic vegetation and increased risk of low dissolved oxygen and incidence of fish kills.
Over the long term, more frequent openings will lead to shifts in the structure and distribution of fringing riparian vegetation communities. However, lake entrance works are very costly millions of dollars and can have many undesirable effects including permanently changing the ecology of the lake including fish stocks and fish habitats , changing flood behaviour in the catchment, creating tidal currents and influences on sediment movement, and altering tidal flushing that may lead to poorer water quality and higher salinity in backwater areas.
They are significantly different from bays, harbours or inlets which are permanently open to the sea. NSW already has many permanently open estuaries which can be enjoyed by those people who prefer this type of waterway. The interim strategy should be made in consultation with all relevant natural resource management agencies, representatives of local community interest groups and affected landholders and provide a clear guide to where, when and under what conditions to artificially open the ICOLL entrance.
The main purpose of the interim strategy should be to account for critical environmental issues and facilitate an approved opening at short notice if required. Criteria to be met may include:. Management of coastal lakes and lagoons in NSW. More topics in this section.

In the Yarrahapinni Wetland Reserve Trust was formed to manage the ha land acquired by the NSW Government and to implement the Yarrahapinni Wetland Rehabilitation project, designed to reinstate a full tidal regime in the wetland area.
The area was gazetted as national park in March and now has a total of ha of national park area. See also Rivers and Environment projects for local rehabiliation projects. Skip to main content.
