A message from Moonee Valley City Council Queens Park

Did you know fishing at Queens Park is not allowed? Our lake is home to some special wildlife like turtles and ducks and fishing at the lake puts them at risk. Did you also know that carp (the species of fish found in the lake) are noxious which means it’s illegal to throw them back into the water once caught. But don’t worry – you can go fishing in neighbouring locations such as Maribrynong River and Maribrynong Park. Thank you for helping to protect our wildlife and fishing in the right places. For any enquires please contact council@mvcc.vic.gov.au
