Ross River Dam, located between Kelso and Mount Stuart in Townsville, Queensland, is a significant infrastructure project completed in 1971. Serving as a primary water supply and flood mitigation system, the dam has a storage capacity of 233,187 megalitres and a catchment area of 750 square kilometers. In February 2025, public access to the dam was restricted due to safety concerns. However, in August 2024, Townsville City Council approved a plan to open the dam for recreational land-based fishing and walking activities, with Stage 1 expected to commence by June 2025.
