Wyangala Dam Wall Raising

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 Wyangala Dam Wall Raising project is expected to create capacity for an additional 650 gigalitres, or 53 per cent more storage. The project will involve raising the dam wall to increase the Full Supply Level by 10 metres.

The Wyangala Dam Wall Raising project was identified in the NSW Government’s 20-year Water Infrastructure Study and was selected due to its initial feasibility study and significant benefits to the Lachlan Valley.

The project has been classified as Critical State Significant Infrastructure and it will be delivered on an accelerated timeline while still meeting all the necessary planning approvals.

SCGroup resources have been engaged to develop and deploy a land access and acquisition plan to secure land required for the construction of the new wall infrastructure and additional inundation areas due to commence in 2023.
