  • Seqwater Recreation Guide WAPPA
    Wappa Dam RECREATION GUIDE seqwater.com.au About OUR VISION Wappa Dam To manage access to recreation Wappa Dam is located west of Yandina in the Sunshine Coast opportunities while protecting hinterland. The dam was constructed in 1963 on the South Maroochy natural resources and water quality. River and supplies drinking water to the interconnected supply network. The lake has a catchment area of approximately 69.7km2 and holds 4694 megalitres of water at full supply. Spillway Lookout The lookout at Jack Harrison Park located at Wappa Park Road, Kiamba, is a great place to view the dam when it is spilling. RECREATION REVIEW UPDATE Seqwater is committed to providing quality recreation facilities that everyone can enjoy. We wanted to know what the community thought of current facilities and what suggestions you had for the future, so in 2013 we started a full Recreation Review across our assets. We appreciate the efforts of everyone who took the time to participate in our workshops and online surveys. While we want to implement as many ideas as possible, Seqwater must remain committed to protecting our natural environment and minimising the risks to water quality. Some of the changes will be implemented at a later date, once further funding has been secured and all environmental impact analysis has been completed. Progress updates, along with details of the feedback received is available at seqwater.com.au/recreview. We value the unique status of the Jinibara People as the original owners and custodians of the land and water around Wappa Dam. 2 Wappa Dam RECREATION GUIDE Wappa Dam RECREATION GUIDE 3 Protecting our waterways & the environment We all need to do our part to ensure we keep our • cleaning and drying anything that came into waterways healthy.

    t 6 JUL Z012 OAlt AEGavcD Queensland Competition Authority. file ref:444089 Level19, 12 Creek Street, BRISBANE. QLD 4001 For the Attention of Angus MacDonald Dear Sir, Subject-Irrigation Prices for Seqwater Central Brisbane WSS: 2013-17 We are stakeholders in the Central Brisbane WSS and hold a current license to draw water from the Brisbane River between Wivenhoe Dam and Mount Crosby. We would be extremely concerned should the QCA come to the conclusion that the documentation provided by Seqwater provides a justification for any charge to be made for water taken direct from the Brisbane River under the capped 7000MI agreement. We note that the Fernvale Consultation meeting of 22"d June was attended by a very small proportion of the 130 license Holders. We consider that the views expressed about the level of charging per Ml were not representative of our views or the views of the majority of license holders in the Central Brisbane WSS who attended a meeting of 10th July 2012. We support the views expressed in the attached submission and request the QCA accept this submission on our behalf.
