The end of the lagoon project: dispute over Wörthersee city planning

The planned lagoon project in the Buberlemoos has now been officially canceled. Behind the project were two landowners, a German entrepreneur and a media expert from Pörtschach. The aim was to replace a protected wetland with an artificial expansion of Lake Wörthersee. This measure is supposed to serve to remove dangerous old deposits from the area.

The idea of creating new bank properties to build single -family houses there was resistance. Many citizens and environmentalists expressed their concerns about the ecological effects of such a project on the sensitive ecosystem of Lake Wörthersee and the surrounding nature.

background of the project

The planning included the creation of an artificial beach that should enable residents to implement new construction areas. This perspective was justified by the investors by the fact that they wanted to remove the existing danger through old deposits. The project focused on the public because the Wörthersee is a popular recreation area and there is a special protection zone for its surroundings.

The cancellation of the project is now a step that many were considered necessary by many. The protection of the natural landscape is primarily assessed, especially in an area known for its biodiversity. This clearly shows that economic interests should not always be placed on the preservation of nature.

In the coming time, it will be analyzed which alternatives are available that meet both the needs of the residents and environmental protection. These developments are observed closely in order to make future projects better.
