Qld Government to help fund Cressbrook Dam upgrades

Toowoomba Regional Council will need to revise an upcoming advocacy plan for the Cressbrook Dam Safety Improvement project, a mandatory upgrade of the asset’s spillways that must be finished by October 2025.Changes to the $270m upgrade project, which will be presented to the state government in a bid to secure external funding, would explore the cost of raising the walls of Cressbrook to improve water security.Deputy mayor Rebecca Vonhoff pushed for the motion on the basis the region wasn’t getting any extra water as part of the single-largest project in the amalgamated council’s history.“This [is] just about getting some information, because if any of us were asked how much it would cost extra to get more water, we don’t know the answer,” she said.
