I think that pond is a gross polutant trap for keeping plastic bags and bottles from being washed into the lake and nests in there run the risk of being swept away in the next downpour. City Rangers have in the past removed swans' nests where children are likely to stray or venture too close and get injured by protective parents. If anyone is interested in the fate of any nest suspected of having been removed where it is unlikely that children may have access to them I suggest you ring Canberra Connect and they'll put you through to the appropriate person.
