C January 2011 Queensland Flood 5 In relation to paragraph 5 of the FASOCTASOC, Seqwater pleads that: (a) over the 28 days prior to 6 January 2011, rainfall in South East Queensland had been well above the average rainfall for that period; (b) the Brisbane River Basin has an area of approximately 14,000km2 (approximately half of which is located downstream of Wivenhoe Dam) and comprises the five main catchments of the: (i) Stanley River to Somerset Dam, which is approximately 1,320km2 (“Somerset Dam Catchment”); (ii) Upper Brisbane River to Wivenhoe Dam (excluding the Somerset Dam Catchment), which is approximately 5,650km2 (“Wivenhoe Dam Catchment”); (iii) Lockyer Creek to O’Reilly’s Weir, which is approximately 2,960km2 (“Lockyer Creek Catchment”); 7 (iv) Bremer River to Ipswich which includes the sub-catchments of Warrill Creek to Amberley and Purga Creek to Loamside, which is approximately 1,745km2 (“Bremer River Catchment”); and (v) Lower Brisbane River to the river mouth (residual area), which is approximately 1,855km2 (“Lower Brisbane River Catchment”); (c) the combined Somerset Dam Catchment and Wivenhoe Dam Catchment is approximately 6,990km2 (“Combined Dam Catchments”); (d) the Lockyer Creek Catchment, Bremer River Catchment and Lower Brisbane River Catchment, including smaller contributing tributaries, are all located downstream of Wivenhoe Dam (collectively, the “Downstream Catchments”), and have a combined catchment area of approximately 7,000km2; Particulars of (b)-(d) Seqwater, Brisbane River Flood Hydrology Models – Main Report, December 2013, Executive Summary, page 13 [SEQ.009.003.0359] (e) the rainfall which fell in the 28 day period prior to 6 January 2011 resulted in the Combined Dam Catchments and the Downstream Catchments becoming wet though not saturated because there had been periods of zero or low rainfall which meant that the catchments had some opportunity to dry out meaning that some initial Loss (as defined in paragraph 165 below) had been recovered; (f) in the period from 6 to 12 January 2011, further substantial rainfall fell across South East Queensland including over the Downstream Catchments and the Combined Dam Catchments; (g) the rainfall which fell in the period 6 to 12 January 2011, resulted in flooding of areas along the Bremer River and Lockyer Creek and along the Brisbane River downstream of Wivenhoe Dam; and (h) subject to the matters pleaded in (a) to (g) above, Seqwater otherwise admits the allegations pleaded in paragraph 5.

  • Somerset and Wivenhoe Dam Safety Upgrades – Business

    Somerset and Wivenhoe Dam Safety Upgrades – Business

    Somerset and Wivenhoe Dam Safety Upgrades – Business Case Stage APRIL 2019 Somerset Dam was built between 1937 and 1959. Wivenhoe Dam was completed in 1985. Both dams were designed to the engineering standards of their time. We now know more about the risks of extreme floods to the Somerset and Wivenhoe Dam walls. Both dams will be upgraded so that they can withstand much larger floods. What has changed since the dams were built? Some things have changed since the dams were built or last upgraded. These include: • significant population growth downstream • advances in dam design and the development of consistent risk assessment methods • improved estimates of extreme rainfall events • data from recent floods and updated flood modelling. An independent assessment has found the dams do not meet modern Queensland Government dam safety guidelines. We now know extreme floods could exceed the design capacity of the dams. Under the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008, we need to upgrade both dams to meet the guidelines. Lowering water levels in Somerset and Wivenhoe In January 2016, Seqwater changed the way it manages both Somerset and Wivenhoe Dams. These changes immediately improved the ability of both dams to withstand extreme floods and maintain flood mitigation. Changes include: • Changing the flood operations manual for both dams • Lowering the water supply storage volume of Somerset Dam to 80% of its normal volume • Lowering the water supply storage volume of Wivenhoe Dam to 90% of its normal volume. Lowering the water supply storage volume increased the flood storage volume in the dams. What to expect Get involved The water supply storage levels in both dams will remain Identifying the social, environmental and heritage impacts lowered during the design and construction of the of the shortlisted upgrade options for Somerset Dam is part Somerset Dam safety upgrade.

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.
