Gogeldrie Weir, Irrigation weir in Leeton Shire, Australia

Gogeldrie Weir spans 85.34 metres between abutments on the Murrumbidgee River. Its concrete sill floor is reinforced with steel sheet piling cut-off walls and carries concrete piers and a steel superstructure that support six steel sluice gates, each 6.1 metres high, 12.2 metres wide and weighing 24 tonnes. Electric motors mounted centrally between the piers raise the gates vertically, with counterweights dropping into wells in the piers.

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 lies about 63 kilometres downstream of Narrandera, in Leeton Shire; the nearest larger town is Leeton, roughly 16 kilometres to the north-east. The surrounding land is mostly farmland, so access is by local roads. The gates are raised and lowered by electric motors, and the original gate control meter was replaced by a computerised meter in 1996.

Each of the six steel sluice gates weighs 24 tonnes and measures 6.1 metres high by 12.2 metres wide, raised individually by electric motors mounted centrally between the concrete piers. Counterweights drop into wells built into the piers as the gates move vertically. The original gate control meter was replaced by a computerised meter in 1996.
