It supports healthy communities and a prosperous South East Queensland (SEQ). It is an essential service that is delivered to 3.1 million people across our region every day. As the region’s bulk water supply authority, we are committed to water for life. We are charged with delivering safe, secure and cost-effective water and catchment services to our customers and communities today and in the future. In SEQ we live in a climate of extremes – from times of drought to floods – and we need to be ready to adjust our water use and management when conditions change. Our research tells us that apart from a severe drought or a sharp increase in demand, we have enough water to supply our region for about 15 years. But after that, we will need new water sources to meet growing demand. We need to plan now for a sustainable water future that meets the needs of all South East Queenslanders. This plan is our Water Security Program. Water security means the reliable availability of an acceptable The first version of the Water Security Program is quantity and quality of water for the community delivered within the starting point for planning water security for our region. an acceptable level of risk. It builds on previous work and discusses many factors surrounding the delivery of bulk water to SEQ – the risks and influences The Water Security Program sets the blueprint for our water future we need to manage, the many options available to us for the next 30 years. The full program, Water for Life – South East and how we can make the best choices. Queensland’s Water Security Program 2015–2045, can be found at yourseqwater.com.au To help us build a plan that’s right for our region, we’re inviting you to have your say. 01 02 How water works now 03 How water works now WHERE WE HAVE COME FROM The Millennium Drought (2001-2009) exposed the vulnerability of SEQ’s water supplies.

  • Overview March 19 Ewen Maddock Dam Is One of Several Dams in South East Queensland Scheduled to Be Upgraded As Part of Our O
    Overview March 19 Ewen Maddock Dam is one of several dams in South East Queensland scheduled to be upgraded as part of our ongoing Dam Improvement Program. The upgrade work is set to begin from July 2019 and will include strengthening the existing embankment and raising the dam wall to increase its floodwater capacity. Work is expected to take up to 18 months, subject to weather conditions and other unexpected delays. About the Dam Ewen Maddock Dam is part of the SEQ Water Grid – a connected network of dams, treatment plants, reservoirs and pipelines supplying drinking water to the region. The dam was constructed across Addlington Creek, a tributary of the Mooloolah River. Construction of the dam was completed in 1976 and the full supply level (FSL) was raised in 1982. Following the independent dam safety review in 2010, a number of improvements were identified at Ewen Maddock Dam and approved for delivery in two stages. In 2012, the stage one upgrade of the dam involved the installation of pressure relief wells into the foundation materials, and construction of a sand filter buttress and overlying weighting berm made of clay along the downstream embankment toe. In 2016, Seqwater engaged an engineering consultant to develop the second stage of the upgrade design. More than twenty-one options were identified during this process. About the Dam Safety Upgrade On 1 February 2019, the Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, Dr Anthony Lynham, announced the project will begin in 2019. The media release can be read here. http://statements.qld.gov.au/Statement/2019/2/1/20m-upgrade-work- for-ewen-maddock-dam The 2019 - 2020 stage two upgrade option will: • add sand filters to the existing earthfill embankment • raise the embankment height with a parapet wall, to increase flood capacity • strengthen the concrete spillway • raise the training walls of the spillway • install emergency outlets in the spillway to enable reservoir drawdown in the case of a dam safety incident.

  • ASX Announcement FRIDAY 29 MAY 2020
    ASX Announcement FRIDAY 29 MAY 2020 Brisbane Floods Class Action - Update Summary Judgment delivered today on liability apportionment between the three defendants and the damages claim of the Representative Plaintiff. Liability apportioned 20% against the State of Queensland, 50% against Seqwater and 30% against Sunwater. Omni Bridgeway Limited (Omni Bridgeway) refers to its most recent announcement dated 1 May 2020 concerning its Brisbane Floods Class Action investment. Judgment was today delivered by the Supreme Court of New Wales (Court) on the apportionment of liability between the three defendants and on the quantum of damages awarded to the Representative Plaintiff. Liability Apportionment The Court determined that, following its finding of negligence in December 2019, the resulting liability of the defendants was to be apportioned 20% against the State of Queensland (State), 50% against Queensland Bulk Water Supply Authority trading as Seqwater (Seqwater) and 30% against Sunwater Limited (Sunwater). Amount of Damages to Representative Plaintiff Following the Court’s findings in December 2019 on a number of common issues applicable to determining the quantum of damages due to group members, the Court has now determined the specific amount of damages due to the Representative Plaintiff. Appeals Seqwater and Sunwater have both filed appeals against the liability finding, but the State has not. The parties will have a period of time to decide whether to appeal all or some aspects of today’s decision. The appeal by Sunwater and Seqwater on the finding of liability is likely to be heard in November 2020 or early in 2021 and it is anticipated that any appeal on the apportionment of liability or the amount of the damages awarded to the Representative Plaintiff would be heard concurrently.

  • 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.
