  • 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.

  • 22Nd March 2019
    This booklet has been prepared to commemorate the historic 200th General Meeting of the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee on Friday 22nd of March 2019 at Garapine; the location of the inaugural meeting in November 1993. It adds to a previous booklet prepared for the 100th meeting which was held at the Gympie Civic Centre on Wednesday 16th February 2005. For almost 25 years, the MRCCC has forged productive partnerships with thousands of stakeholders throughout the Mary River catchment and beyond; government at all three levels, industry, farmers, large and small rural and urban landholders, landcare and environment groups, recreational and commercial fishing interests, forestry, irrigators, Waterwatch volunteers, researchers, school students, and particularly the long-running working partnership with the Gympie District Beef Liaison Group. These partnerships have triggered a phenomenal groundswell of interest and activities in natural resource management across the Mary River catchment. The wider community is beginning to understand many of the causes of environmental degradation. The farming community is embracing sustainable production as a means of increasing productivity whilst protecting natural assets. Governments at all levels now recognise that community engagement is critical to environmental repair and ecological protection. Triple bottom line objectives are now commonplace in strategic planning documents. So what were the factors that led to the need for an “across the board” shift in philosophy? In the 1990’s, the Mary River was described as one of the most degraded catchments in Queensland. European settlement resulted in extensive clearing of the riverbanks. In recent times, massive land use change due to subdivision, population pressure and other factors together with increasing demand for water resources led to deteriorating catchment condition.
