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 Millstream SchemePrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the completion of the Millstream Scheme of the Bridgetown water supply in June 1962.
The Millstream Catchment Area (Bridgetown) was proclaimed in 1961 under the Country Areas Water Supply Act 1947 (WA). Millstream Dam is located approximately 20 kilometres west-north-west of Bridgetown. It is the principal supply for the Water Corporation’s Bridgetown Region Water Supply Scheme, which supplies drinking water to the towns of Bridgetown, Hester and Boyup Brook. Bridgetown is the closest town.
