It is one of two principal raw water sources that supply potable drinking water to the Sunshine Coast. Ownership of the dam was transferred from Noosa Council to Queensland Bulk Water Supply Authority (trading as Seqwater) on 1 July 2008. The dam requires an upgrade to meet modern safety standards and the performance requirements of the Queensland dam safety regulations into the future (the Project). The upgrade will allow the dam to better manage severe weather and any possible earthquake events. This includes improving the spillway discharge capacity and earthquake stability while maintaining water supply security. Studies have considered a range of options including decommissioning of the dam, retrofitting of strengthening works and new build options. The proposed upgrade of Six Mile Creek Dam does not change the footprint of the existing water impoundment. The dam’s full supply level (FSL) will remain the same post-upgrade and the proposed dam infrastructure will largely occupy the existing footprint. The operation of the upgraded dam will effectively reinstate the existing situation, with improvements to the spillway and its ability to effectively pass large flood events. The regional Project area and Project area are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2. The final detailed design of the dam is currently being progressed and is not expected to differ significantly from that described in the Initial Advice Statement (2017). However, design updates in response to recent geotechnical findings, water security considerations, and construction methodology have led to two notable departures in design since the Initial Advice Statement was submitted to the Coordinator General for consideration in September 2017. In particular, the concept for a temporary construction coffer dam was reviewed and altered, and the design for the left embankment was updated. Minor design changes may be required as the Project progresses in the future, but will not alter the Project footprint. Construction for the Project was previously scheduled to occur from August 2019 to December 2021 (which is reflected in the technical reports provided in the appendices), but will now commence in August 2020.

Seqwater is a statutory authority established under the South East Queensland Water (Restructuring) Act 2007. Seqwater is one of Australia’s largest water businesses, with the most geographically spread and diverse asset base of any Australian capital city water authority. Seqwater manages up to $11 billion of water supply assets and the natural catchments of the South East Queensland’s major water supply sources, including dams, weirs, conventional water treatment plants, and climate resilient sources of water through the Gold Coast Desalination Plant and the Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme. A 600 km reverse flow pipeline network allows drinking water to be transported to where it is needed most, from the Sunshine Coast to Greater Brisbane, to Redlands, and south to the Gold Coast.

  • Survey Methodology Was Developed with Regard to the Commonwealth and State Guidelines Applicable to the Relevant Species and Involved
    Survey methodology was developed with regard to the Commonwealth and State guidelines applicable to the relevant species and involved: Fish survey - the fish survey undertaken aimed to sample the broad range of fish species that could potentially inhabit the project study area and included methods to specifically target threatened species. Survey techniques included: – Box traps – box traps were baited and set for a minimum of two (2) hours within suitable habitats. A total of ten (10) traps were set within the project study area. Individual trap placement aimed to sample the variety of microhabitats (e.g. woody debris, root); – Fyke netting – fyke netting was conducted where water levels provided suitable trapping conditions. The net was set with the cod end attached to the bank with the wings of the net outstretched and staked into the substrate (Plate 2-1). The fyke net was set overnight; and – Pool watches – pool watches were conducted within each aquatic habitat assessment site. Watches were a minimum of 30 search minutes in duration. Turtle survey - ten cathedral traps were baited with beef heart and set within the project study area. Traps were set for approximately 18 hours and checked twice during this period. Trapping targeted key habitat areas such as undercut banks and submerged woody debris. Bank margins within the project study area were also assessed for nesting habitat suitability; Platypus survey - suitability of the project study area for platypus habitat was assessed through habitat assessment and identification of banks potential suitable for burrows. Thirty minute pool watches were also undertaken within each habitat assessment site; and Opportunistic observations of aquatic fauna species were also undertaken within the project study area during the field survey event.

    Environmental Impact Statement for Traveston Crossing Dam (Mary River, Queensland): A Review with regard for Species of Concern under the EPBC Act 1999 Report to the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, Canberra KF Walker Consultant in River and Floodplain Ecology PO Box 331, YANKALILLA 5203 Adjunct Associate Professor School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of Adelaide www.sunwater.com.au November 2008 ii … This report may be cited as: Walker KF. 2008. Environmental Impact Statement for Traveston Crossing Dam (Mary River, Queensland): A Review with regard for Species of Concern under the EPBC Act 1999. Report to the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, Canberra. November 2008. xx+84p. iii Executive Summary Queensland Water Infrastructure (QWI) proposes to construct Traveston Crossing Dam on the Mary River as part of a strategy to meet anticipated water demands in south‐ eastern Queensland. This is the last high‐yield dam site available in the region, according to QWI, but it is also an extremely sensitive site in terms of significance for conservation. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been released for public comment, and a Supplement containing responses to submissions has also been issued. This review is concerned with the implications for a number of species listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including three ‘iconic’ species, the Australian lungfish, Mary River cod and Mary River turtle. Context Ecologically Sustainable Development In many cases, the EIS makes assumptions on the basis of scant evidence and draws conclusions about impacts with little or no justification.
