Callide Dam Gates Project

Sunwater has completed on-site works as part of the Callide Dam Gates Project. On-site works as part of the project included strengthening each gate structure, upgrading the gate control system and replacing gate seals.

Sunwater is finalising documentation to return the dam to its pre-project full supply level with approval of these documents expected to be before the end of 2022.

Sunwater has made changes to Kroombit Dam’s Emergency Action Plan (EAP) following a Comprehensive Risk Assessment. We regularly assess our dams against improving engineering standards and guidelines so they continue to function safely. While Kroombit Dam remains safe and will be operated in line with the amended EAP, the community will now be notified sooner if a dam safety hazard relating to monolith sliding and overturning is identified.

Sunwater representatives will be available at Biloela Shopping world on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 December between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm, and Saturday 17 December between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm and will welcome questions regarding changes to the Kroombit EAP and the completion of the Callide Dam Gates Project.
