Do you have a dam on your property? It's time for a safety check!

If you have a dam on your property, it's your responsibility to make sure it's safe. Now is a good time to inspect your dam, while water levels are low and the land is dry.

Dams can pose a safety threat to communities lower in the catchment if they fail and large volumes of water are released.

The Department for Environment and Water has useful resources for dam safety and maintenance.
