Gogeldrie Weir, Irrigation weir in Leeton Shire, Australia
Gogeldrie Weir is a dam crossing the Murrumbidgee River in Leeton Shire, fitted with six sluice gates that allow operators to control water flow for irrigation purposes. The structure uses steel sheet piling, concrete piers, and reinforced concrete floors to direct water reliably.
The weir was built between 1958 and 1959 to redirect water from the Murrumbidgee River toward the Coleambally Irrigation Area. This infrastructure became important for supporting agricultural growth in the region.
The New South Wales State Heritage Register listed this structure in April 1999, recognizing its role in agricultural development and water management.
The weir is situated roughly 63 kilometers south of Narrandera and can be viewed from nearby roads. It is best visited during operational hours when the sluice gates are active.
The weir was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 1999, recognizing its importance to the region. This heritage status reflects how significant the water infrastructure is to local history.
