Before Subiaco council "beautified" the area many years ago it was just a swamp with reeds. In summer it dries out and we see greenery on the bottom. When it rains the lake fills up quickly and the bird life comes back - isn't that natural migration? We don't need the council wasting our money for a few negative people who probably have lived in the area for five minutes and expect everything to be changed to suit them (probably thinking only of the "value" of their property). When we had a heavy downpour recently, the lake area stank. Would it be like that if we had plastic lining on the bottom of the lake all summer? If it rains consistently in winter and doesn't drain away, the lake will overflow on the surrounding path and lower grass area and we won't be able to walk around it. It doesn't take many rainy days to fill the lake and then there will be more complaints! Why can't people be grateful to have a large park in the area?
