Toonumbar Dam
Facilities.

 

The Dam:
Construction on Toonumbar Dam started in April of 1969 and was an initiative of the NSW Department of Land and Water Conservation taking 2 years to build and was completed in June 1971.

The dam provides an annual regulated flow of 13,000 megalitres of water.

This together with the uncontrolled flow of Eden Creek and other creeks, provides sufficient water to irrigate about 2800 hectares of irrigable land. 

A Mini Hydro Plant has now been installed to provide green energy to the local power grid (Northpower)

Three full time staff are employed maintaining the dam and several surrounding weirs.
