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.

September 2011 #29869 i Foreword This Mary Basin Resource Operations Plan 2011 implements provisions of the Water Resource (Mary Basin) Plan 2006. Released as a draft in August 2010, the resource operations plan has been finalised following a period of public review and comment. The provisions contained in this plan implement the water resource plan by specifying rules and operational requirements for managing surface water resources in the six water supply schemes within the plan area. The provisions in this plan incorporate a number of powerful drivers that will foster new standards of innovation and efficiency to help the community maximise the benefits it derives from these vital resources. Foremost of these is the conversion of more than 520 entitlements to tradeable water allocations. The plan also specifies arrangements for the release of unallocated water from the town water supply reserve, establishing trading zones and rules for trading water allocations, and managing water during periods of critical water supply.
