Fitzroy Falls Dam, Embankment dam in New South Wales, Australia.
The Fitzroy Falls Dam comprises four separate earth and rockfill embankments stretching 1,530 meters along Yarrunga Creek, with a height of 14 meters.
Construction of the dam began in 1971 as part of the Shoalhaven Scheme, addressing water supply concerns following capacity limitations at Warragamba Dam.
The reservoir forms an essential component of New South Wales water infrastructure, connecting multiple water systems through canals and tunnels across the region.
The dam retains 9,950 megalitres of water at full capacity, creating a reservoir that spans 522 hectares and serves both water storage and hydroelectric purposes.
The dam connects to Wingecarribee Reservoir through the 3,030-meter Wildes Meadow Canal and the 2,830-meter Burrawang Tunnel system.
