Many dead around the edges of the pond, and floating in the pond. Some large fish still swimming around. Most seen around 35-40cm. I assume many had died as water levels dropped, but now there is more water in the pond after rains this week. Does this bring health risk for other species?

Common Carp , lack of Oxygen in water due to hot water (storm water ) entering the creek ,

Ah, thank you, I guess similar to what has happened in Umbagong Park. But I recall when there was a huge die off of carp at Jerra wetlands (that time due to the swamp drying out) they were all picked up for fear of botulism being spread to anything that ate the carcass.
