Wivenhoe Dam, completed in 1984, is South East Queensland's largest water storage facility, supplying safe drinking water to Brisbane and the greater Ipswich area. Located on the Brisbane River, approximately 80 kilometers from Brisbane, the dam features a 2.3-kilometer-long wall with five radial gates for controlled water releases during heavy rainfall. Its total storage capacity is 3.132 million megalitres, with 1.165 million megalitres allocated for full supply. Beyond water supply, Wivenhoe Dam serves as a flood mitigation system, designed to hold back close to two million megalitres during flood events.
