Gordonbrook 150ML Offstream Storage
The Town of Kingaroy in South East Queensland was historically reticulated from two sources: 30% from the nearby Gordonbrook Dam and 70% from an offtake connected to the Boondooma-Tarong supply pipeline.
The South Burnett Regional Council secured funding for the detailed design of a proposed 150ML off-stream water storage to improve Kingaroy’s water supplies by providing a raw water storage facility for inflows from the Ellwoods supply pipeline that can be drawn upon during maintenance of either the Boondooma-Tarong pipeline or the Ellwoods off-take pipeline. This project aims to provide the town of Kingaroy with water security by converting Gordonbrook Dam from town water supply to irrigation use, which includes:
- Construction of a 150ML off-stream storage facility at the Kingaroy Water Treatment Plant.
- Upgrade of Gordonbrook Dam to government standards.
- The construction of the Wooroolin Water Reservoir.
BG&E was engaged to complete the detailed design of the 150ML off-stream water storage to improve Kingaroy’s water supplies.
