Water Watch
Blackburn Lake Sanctuary’s Water Watch group regularly tests the quality of the lake water and monitors the numbers of macroinvertebrates in the water.
In 2024, the Water Watch group supported the Environment Protection Authority’s investigation of pollution in the lake. Community members worked with the EPA to monitor the lake water. (Read more on the EPA website.)

The Blackburn Lake Sanctuary is a special place that sits at the origins of the Kooyong Koot tributary.
This Country, its creatures, lands, skies and waterways, has been continuously loved and cared for by the Wurundjeri peoples for over 60,000 years. We hope to walk with the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung in caring for this place.
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung as the First Peoples of this area and pay our respects to their spirits, ancestors and elders.
