Commercial seaplane operations from Lake Burley Griffin will begin before the end of the year, the National Capital Authority (NCA) announced this morning.
Sydney Seaplanes will initially offer one or two flights a week between the Lake and Rose Bay, Sydney, before increasing to two flights a day as demand increases.
In preparation, Sydney Seaplanes will conduct flights on Tuesday 3 October and Tuesday 17 October, subject to weather conditions. The flights are for promotional purposes before operations begin.
The NCA approved seaplane trial flights onto Lake Burley Griffin in March to test and refine operational arrangements before permanent operations begin later this year.
A further update will be provided before commercial services start.
