The Little Nerang Dam is a concrete gravity dam with an un-gated spillway across the Little Nerang Creek that is located in the South East region of Queensland, Australia. The main purpose of the dam is for potable water supply of the Gold Coast region.[1][2] The impounded reservoir is also called Little Nerang Dam. The dam was closed to the public in 2013 due to safety concerns.[3]
Location and features
The dam is located Script error: No such module "convert". west of Template:QLDcity and Script error: No such module "convert". driving distance from Template:QLDcity, and is located directly upstream from the Hinze Dam. Prior to the completion of the Hinze Dam, the Little Nerang Creek Gravity Scheme supplied the water requirements of the Gold Coast area. Water flows by gravity pipeline to the Mudgeeraba Water Treatment Plant. The plant, completed in 1969, has the capacity to treat Script error: No such module "convert". a day. The water then flows by gravity to the city's storage reservoirs.
Completed in 1962,[1] the rock and earthfill dam structure is Script error: No such module "convert". high and Script error: No such module "convert". long. The Script error: No such module "convert". dam wall holds back the Script error: No such module "convert". reservoir when at full capacity. From a catchment area of Script error: No such module "convert". that includes the Springbrook Plateau, the dam creates an unnamed reservoir with a surface area of Script error: No such module "convert".. The uncontrolled un-gated spillway has a discharge capacity of Script error: No such module "convert"..[1] Initially managed by Gold Coast Water, management of the dam was transferred to Seqwater in July 2008.
Recreational
Recreation is not permitted at Little Nerang Dam. As of 2019, Access to Little Nerang Dam and Little Nerang Dam Road Seqwater is now restricted to SEQWater employees and residents of the road, with a large security gate blocking access.[4]
