Wellington Weir, Water management infrastructure in Western Australia
Wellington Weir stands at an elevation of 143 meters above sea level, controlling water flow in the Murray River system.
The weir project emerged in 2006 through an agreement between South Australian Premier Mike Rann and Prime Minister John Howard at the Melbourne Cup.
The Ngarrindjeri people conducted the Murrundi Ruwe Pangari Ringbalin ceremony near the weir site in April 2010.
The structure intended to maintain water levels upstream for the Mannum pumping station while reducing water flow into Lake Alexandrina.
The project was cancelled in 2009 following community concerns about potential damage to acid sulfate soils around the lakes.
