Seqwater has awarded the construction contract for the upgrade of Noosa’s Lake Macdonald (Six Mile Creek) Dam.

John Holland Group Queensland has secured the dam improvement contract, according to the authority. 

Part of Seqwater’s Dam Improvement Program, the upgrade will enhance water security and enable the dam to withstand extreme weather events.

The project involves building a new split-level concrete spillway and upper labyrinth and reconstructing the existing earth embankments. 

Major site construction activities will commence later in the year.
