We, as a community of the Fraser Coast, are tired and heartbroken. Our beloved Lake Kalvert, once teeming with life, is now a sorrowful sight of lifeless birds and fish. The lake stinks and each visit to the lake is met with the overwhelming distress of discovering more wildlife tragically lost. Our emotional connections with this lake run deep, and watching its vitality fade is a heartache shared collectively.



The alarming frequency of animal deaths at Lake Kalvert has undeniably pointed to a significant problem that cannot be ignored. There have been numerous incidents where dead birds and fish have been discovered, raising alarm bells about the health and safety of our local ecosystem. This continuous pattern poses a serious concern to the residents and wildlife enthusiasts of the Fraser Coast region, who depend on this natural habitat for recreational, environmental, and cultural purposes.



Fraser Coast Council has evaded responsibility in addressing this pressing issue, stating it’s part of natural seasonal events. It is time for them to heed the concerns of the community and implement a water quality management plan that safeguards the future of Lake Kalvert's ecosystem.

 Accountability and transparency are non-negotiable in maintaining our region's environmental integrity.

Water quality is a fundamental component of wildlife sustainability, and it is our demand that the Fraser Coast Council commit to regular monitoring, assessment, and improvement of the water conditions at Lake Kalvert. Instituting a comprehensive water quality management plan will not only prevent further wildlife fatalities but also restore the community’s trust in their governance.



We urge the Fraser Coast Council to take immediate action by:


1. Conducting a thorough investigation into the current water quality issues.


2. Publicly sharing all findings and plans with the community.


3. Developing an actionable water quality management strategy to prevent future environmental crises.


4. Engaging with independent environmental experts to guide mitigation efforts.



Sign this petition to demand that the Fraser Coast Council recognize their role in protecting Lake Kalvert and commit to preserving the natural heritage of our community for future generations. Together, let’s ensure this treasured ecosystem can thrive once again.
