💧 Wivenhoe Dam: Built for Storage & Flood Mitigation 💧 Wivenhoe Dam has a total storage capacity of 3.132 million megalitres—but did you know it plays a key role in flood mitigation? ✅ At full supply level, it holds 1.165 million megalitres of drinking water. 🌊 During a flood it can hold back close to 2 million megalitres on top of its drinking water storage capacity. The extra water is temporarily stored in the flood storage compartment for flood mitigation purposes. | Seqwater

A reminder that the closed waters at Wivenhoe Dam include 600 metres downstream of the wall. Officers patrolling the area have recently issued Fishery Infringement Notices (FIN) to people fishing inside the closed waters. Penalties include on-the-spot fines of $575. These closures are in place to protect fish like Australian bass that congregate below dam walls as well as to protect your safety. You can use the Fishing Qld 2.0 app to check for closed waters. | Fisheries Queensland

How are Wivenhoe Dam water releases ahead of the wet season going?

❗ Fact check: There's a common myth that Wivenhoe Dam was built because of the severe weather events in 1974 —but the plan was actually in motion long before then. ❗ Wivenhoe was designed in the 1960s to secure Brisbane's water supply, with flood mitigation included as a secondary function. The 1974 events sped up the process, and the dam was largely completed by 1984. Hear how it all came together from Dr Margaret Cook, historian and researcher. 👇 | Seqwater

Seqwater advises operational releases from Somerset Dam into Wivenhoe Dam have commenced and will potentially continue throughout the week. These low flow releases are to balance the storages across Somerset and Wivenhoe Dams. Releases are not expected to cause the lake level in Wivenhoe Dam to increase by more than 0.5 metres in the next 24 hours, pending further rainfall within the Upper Brisbane River catchment upstream of Wivenhoe Dam. Operational releases are common to balance the lake leve

If you’re visiting Wivenhoe Dam from 9 June to 23 June 2025, you may notice we're making low flow operational releases through one radial gate, while the dam’s cone valve undergoes planned inspection and maintenance. These operational releases regularly occur via the cone valve to supply drinking water to the Mount Crosby Water Treatment Plants downstream, and for environmental flows. The low flow operational releases via the gate will match release volumes typically made from the cone valve, wh
