Differences on lake .
report denied
The National Capital Develop
ment Commission denied yesterday
that it had any differences with the
Department of the Capital Terri
tory over the content of a report on
Lake Burley Griffin.
A report in The Canberra Times
yesterday said there were believed to be
important differences between the
NCDC and the DCT over the report,
which is due to be presented to the
Minister for the Capital Territory, Mr
Hodgman, next month.
A spokesman for the NCDC said
yesterday that the NCDC had been
represented on a working group brought
together by the DCT in November, last
year, to report on the condition of Lake
Burley Griffin.
"We regard the report as accurate
and comprehensive. It was reached
unanimously and we have no dif
ferences with the DCT over it", the
spokesman said.
Yesterday's report said concern over
Lake Burley Griffin had risen after
pollution by sewage and subsequent
closures, the presence of weed and algae
and the effects of run-off.
