About
The Lillydale Lake is a reservoir, artificial lake, and constructed wetlands created by an earth-filled embankment dam across the Olinda Creek, located in Lilydale, approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) to the east of the Melbourne central business district, in Victoria, Australia. Following flooding of the Yarra Valley in 1984, the 28-hectare (69-acre) reservoir was created in 1990 to assist with flood mitigation.
Surrounding the reservoir is the Lillydale Lake Park, a 100-hectare (250-acre) urban park with extensive recreational facilities.
The reservoir and wetlands are managed by Melbourne Water and the park is managed by the Yarra Ranges Council since 1990.
