History

In 1988, gates were added to the spillway to increase the capacity of the dam in 1988.[2] SunWater, the water supply and services company, has undertaken a multi-station upgrade program to ensure highest levels of safety for dams of their responsibility. The Callide spillway was scheduled to be upgraded in the 'medium-term' range from 2008.[2] In 2021, the spillway gates were to be removed and serviced to address vibration during their operation. [3]

In February 2015, the radial spillway gates on the dam automatically opened as a result of heavy rain from Tropical Cyclone Marcia.[4] Severe flooding resulted downstream from the dam.[5] In May 2015, a class action lawsuit against the dam operator SunWater was launched by residents affected by the flooding. The class action was dropped in February 2016.[6]

The dam's highest recorded level was 102.37% of capacity in March 2017 as a result of heavy rains from ex Tropical Cyclone Debbie.

Fishing

A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish in the dam.[7]
