About the Trust

The Lake Dunstan Charitable Trust Board was established in 2015 and is regarded by the community and our elected representatives as the ‘Guardians of Lake Dunstan'.

Our objectives are:

  •  To work with the wider Cromwell community and relevant organisation’s to enhance and protect Lake Dunstan and its catchments.
  • To raise awareness about the importance of maintaining and improving the water quality and health of the lake and other waterways.
  • To encourage the development of a management plan and monitoring framework for Lake Dunstan.
  • To work with the community and relevant agencies to support measurement and monitoring of water quality.
  • To seek funding and assistance to support the Trusts activities.
