Overview

The weir is located 14 km north west of Beaudesert. The project was completed in December 2007 and can provide 11 megalitres of water a day. It is now managed by Queensland Water Infrastructure, a body setup to administer major water infrastructure projects in the region.

In conjunction with the South Maclean Weir and water treatment plants, this dam will act as a pumping pool for captured releases from the proposed Wyaralong Dam located upstream.
