Dungowan Dam & Pipeline

Water Infrastructure NSW is committed to delivering long-term water security projects that improve water security and build the drought resilience of our regional communities.

The Peel Valley supports Tamworth and other smaller townships, as well as irrigated agriculture and industry.

The principle objective of the Dungowan Dam project is to secure the long-term water supply security for the regional city of Tamworth. Further, the project will enable future population growth for Tamworth, which together with an already-augmented Chaffey Dam will maintain a productive level of general security reliability and water use for irrigation. Over time, this objective is expected to underpin water affordability that will support broader agricultural productivity benefits for the region.

SCGroup resources have been engaged to develop and deploy a land access and acquisition plan to secure land required for the construction of the pipeline alignment due to commence in late 2021.
SCGroup resources have been mobilised to field to roll out the deployment of a series meetings with private and government landowners to negotiate Construction Leases to enable construction to proceed on time.
