Boondooma Dam is a dam on the Boyne River in the South Burnett region of Queensland, Australia. The dam was constructed in 1983 across the Boyne River below its confluence with the Stuart River to supply water to the Tarong Power Station and as is the case at so many impoundments, takes its name from the original property in the area. It has a capacity of 204 200 ML under the convert|10|km2|acre of surface area and has an average depth of convert|11|m|ft|0.

SunWater is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure the highest level of safety for our dams is maintained. The spillway will be upgraded in the longer term. [ [http://www.sunwater.com.au/current_projects_Spillway.htm Spillway Capacity Upgrade Program] ]
