Warragamba Dam - Haviland Park, Water supply dam and park in Wollondilly Shire, Australia.

The Warragamba Dam spans 1,200 meters in length and rises 142 meters high, storing over 2 million megaliters of water for the Sydney metropolitan region.

The construction of Warragamba Dam, completed in 1960, marked a fundamental change in water management for New South Wales during its post-war population expansion.

The Heritage Act State Heritage Register includes this infrastructure site, recognizing its role in shaping Sydney's development through water resource management.

Haviland Park provides designated parking areas, restroom facilities, walking trails, and picnic spaces that accommodate visitors throughout all seasons.

The dam incorporates a roller-compacted concrete spillway system that manages water flow during heavy rainfall, protecting downstream communities from flooding events.
