The Zoo Lake Users Committee is leading the erosion project which is aimed at rehabilitating the southeast side of the lake.
They have divided the area into three phases due to its size (444m²). Fran Haslam, chairperson of the Zoo Lake Users Committee said, “We are completing the final part of the first phase of this erosion project for the lake.”
The engineering firms that have volunteered their expertise were Maccaferri Engineering, SRK Engineering, and Cre8ive Construct.
“We are very fortunate to have these companies here today, and we have about 60 people attending the initiative, including volunteers from the engineering companies.”
Ward 117 councillor Tim Truluck was also in attendance and members of the Zoo Lake gardening committee.
“We are grateful for the donations made by the community as we received plants and working materials in large quantities. We hope to finish the project by the end of January, and we encourage more people to attend next year.”
