Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure Steve Bowmaker said “the pond isn’t lined and we had been losing large amounts of water hence why the pond has been drained for work to be undertaken.”
“Council currently is removing the existing vegetation, modifying the fountain pipework and preparing the surface for further works,” he said.
“No changes will be made to the size of the pond or the Chinese stone formations and once the tender process is completed work is expected to be completed mid-year.”
