Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Completion of the Chaffey Dam Upgrade Interim WorksPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the completion of the Chaffey Dam Upgrade Interim Works in 2004.
In 2004 an initial upgrade was undertaken by State Water to raise the dam crest to address the Dams Safety Committee’s requirements. The upgrade comprised the installation of a concrete parapet wall to the top of the dam wall, effectively increasing the height of the dam by 1.8 metres.
In July 2005, State Water commenced interim works to increase the protection of the dam and downstream communities from large floods and investigated long term options to protect against extreme flooding.
