The plaque commemorates the official opening of Callide Dam Stage 2 in November 1988.

The Callide Dam is an earth and rock-fill dam which was constructed in 1965 to supply water for the Callide Power Station in Mount Murchison near Biloela in the state of Queensland, Australia. In 1988, gates were added to the spillway to increase the capacity of the dam.
