LAKE BURLEY GRIFFIN STILL CLOSED

Lake Burley Griffin will remain closed to all sporting and recreational uses until further notice.

The National Capital Authority will advise when the Environment Protection Authority gives the all clear to reopen the lake.

Lake Burley Griffin has been closed following a factory fire in Mitchell on Thursday night.

Contaminated materials from the factory may have entered Sullivans Creek, which flows into Lake Burley Griffin.
