Before writing to the council, I would just like to suggest that to write along the lines of “was apparently
"a high risk of drowning or being stuck in deep mud" which is of course complete bull”
may not be a helpful approach. I have a suggestion that to use words like that might not be good diplomacy if you wish for a positive outcome or a different set of rules.
There must be at least a better set of words. I have no recollection of ever having been to this place and so I don’t know the situation. But there might have been some circumstances in which a risk assessment like that, might have been or could be valid,
could “being stuck” refer to cars?. It would presumably have come from something.

One of the "justifications" by Council for this restriction was apparently "a high risk of drowning or being stuck in deep mud" which is of course complete bull.
The more letters the Council gets explaining how this action will impact negatively on tourism to the town the better.

I intend to let the Council know my views. Perhaps others could as well.

As expected the response was that it was red tape from the Council - presumably their lawyers.

I have sent a message to the Lake Cargelligo Birds FB group asking who has done this and why? It marks a major change in attitude by the town - they used to recognise the importance of bird tourism
to their economy.

Hi All,
I have not long got back from a road trip and saw some great birds, But it was disappointing to find out that the only access now to the LC treatment ponds is to the useless hide, the tracks either side have a sign stating no entry :(
I have since found out that we are not allowed on the fire trails on round hill, Whohey Tanks and Old Wheat Paddock for example, just the main roads.
Looks like LC is off my places to go from now on.
