A lake is represented in the watercourse identification map by a point that is placed near the centre of the lake. If the lake covers multiple land parcels, each parcel will show a lake point.
A lake means -
(a) if a feature is identified on the watercourse identification map as a lake - means the feature identified on the map; or
(b) otherwise, includes -
(i) a lagoon, swamp or other natural collection of water, whether permanent or intermittent; and
(ii) the bed and banks and any other element confining or containing the water.

Downstream limit of a watercourse, means -
(a) if a point is identified on the watercourse identification map as the downstream limit of the watercourse - the point identified on the map; or
(b) otherwise - the point to which the high spring tide ordinarily flows and reflows in the watercourse, whether due to a natural cause or to an artificial barrier.

A watercourse means - (1) A watercourse is a river, creek or other stream, including a stream in the form of an anabranch or a tributary, in which water flows permanently or intermittently, regardless of the frequency of flow events -
(a) in a natural channel, whether artificially modified or not; or
(b) in an artificial channel that has changed the course of the stream.
(2) A watercourse includes any of the following located in it -
(a) in-stream islands;
(b) benches;
(c) bars.

A drainage feature means -
(a) if a feature is identified on the watercourse identification map as a drainage feature - the feature identified on the map; or
(b) otherwise - a natural landscape feature, including a gully, drain, drainage depression or other erosion feature that -
(i) is formed by the concentration of, or operates to confine or concentrate, overland flow water during and immediately after rainfall events; and
(ii) flows for only a short duration after a rainfall event, regardless of the frequency of flow events; and
(iii) commonly, does not have enough continuing flow to create a riverine environment.
Example for paragraph (b)(iii) -
There is commonly an absence of water favouring riparian vegetation.
