The Somerset Dam requires an upgrade to comply with the provisions of the Queensland Guidelines on Acceptable Flood Capacity for Water Dams.
The preliminary business case, completed in 2019, developed a shortlist of options.
A detailed business case is currently being developed by Building Queensland, which will include a selection of preferred options for which preliminary designs will be undertaken. Delivery model analysis will be a key component of the detailed business case, which is due to be completed in the second half of 2020.
SEQWater is responsible for the safety upgrade.
