that already exist at the Canberra Yacht Club.
New clubhouses or boatsheds for rowing or canoe clubs may be located on the western side of Black Mountain Peninsula if they cannot be accommodated in Yarralumla Bay. The buildings will be subject to design controls to ensure that they fit in with the landscape of the Lake.
Regatta Point Exhibition must be retained for use as a tourist exhibition site, with allowance for commercial concessions for kiosks, refreshment rooms and restaurants as appropriate to the area.

The Lake
The policy is to allow all users of the Lake access to all its waters and its foreshore (except as may have been agreed under provisions of the Lakes Ordinance) while minimising the problem of conflicting demands. It may therefore be necessary to:
       * Limit the facilities and number of access points for some activities, and restrict launching areas to specific sections of the Lake where there will be no danger to swimmers
       * Restrict parking so that it does not prevent the enjoyment of any area or downgrade the appearance of the lakeshore.
These steps will be considered in the light of any potential conflict of uses and with due consideration for questions of hydraulics and water quality.
In Yarramundi and Tarcoola reaches and in Westlake, the degree of diverse natural shoreline and good water quality are to be maintained. The shoreline macrophyte areas which are important fish and waterbird habitats in Yarramundi Inlet and Nursery Bay are to be protected.
Yarramundi Reach is to accommodate a rowing course as well as other boating. Westlake and West Basin are to remain the main areas for sailing, sailboarding and beachside swimming. Moorings for Yachts are to be provided in selected locations and consideration may be given to constructing a marina in Lotus Bay. The formal national capital character of the Lake as a key element of the Griffin Plan is to be fully expressed in the Central Basin, while East and West Basins are to respond to the architectural character of the central area.
Existing facilities for the floating gate in Yarramundi Inlet (used to operate Scrivener Dam) are to be retained.
Molonglo River is to provide a quiet backwater for boating, fishing and birdwatching. The tree‑lined banks and marginal habitats for waterbirds, fish and aquatic mammals are to be protected. Upstream of Dairy Road Bridge, the Molonglo River may be used for power boats and water skiing.
The masses of submerged aquatic plants between Springbank Island and Acton Peninsula are to be controlled and the Lake may be deepened here if necessary. Macrophyte beds in East Basin may be retained as a means of controlling algae.
Ferry wharfs may be provided in
