queensland Beware Wivenhoe 10 - 13th March, 40 Knot Speeds

[rayke1938]

From SEQ water website.

Lake Wivenhoe will host a fishing competition from Thursday 10 March to Sunday 13 March. 
Competition participants will be excepted from the 6 knot speed limit and will be able to travel in defined areas at up to 40 knots for the purposes of the competition only. Lake Wivenhoe will remain open for non-competition fishers at the usual 6 knot speed limit.
The 40 knot speed limit will be exclusive to the centre of the lake with three sections remaining at the 6 knot limit for all boating. These areas are around Logan Inlet, the dam wall and the northern reaches above the Esk intake tower. Seqwater will be on hand to monitor speeds in the designated areas.
Harmon Cove will be the central base for the event. 
All visitors are asked to observe signage and remain vigilant at all times, especially when sharing the competition fishing area.
Queries regarding speed limits on the lake, please contact our Recreation Team by calling 1800 737 928 or emailing recreation@seqwater.com.au   
All other enquiries regarding the competition should be directed to Somerset Regional Council. 

Cheers

Hmm, considering SEQ Water applied for laws to be passed to enforce these speed limits, I sort of doubt they have the ability themselves to "suspend them" particularly when specifically for a specific subset of craft.

Well, that gives me an excuse to upgrade the outboard.
