The plaque commemorates the completion of the Chaffey Dam in 1979. 

Commenced in August 1976 and completed in September 1979, the Chaffey Dam is a minor dam on the Peel River, a tributary of the Namoi River, approximately 16 kilometres north of Nundle and 44 kilometres south-east of Tawmorth. 

Water from the dam is released directly into the Peel River which is used by irrigators downstream of the dam, and for water supply of the city of Tamworth.
