Wahroonga Reservoir, Heritage-listed water reservoir in Wahroonga, New South Wales, Australia.
The cylindrical elevated steel tank sits atop an eight-legged steel girder frame at the intersection of Pacific Highway and Woonona Avenue.
The Metropolitan Board of Water Supply and Sewerage constructed the reservoir in 1915 to meet increasing water demands in Sydney's northern suburbs.
The reservoir demonstrates early 20th-century engineering methods through its riveted steel construction and innovative support structure design.
The reservoir maintains a service level of 237 meters and holds 1.1 megalitres of water, supporting the local water distribution network.
Cypress trees, jacarandas, and Illawarra flame trees surround this industrial structure, creating a distinctive combination of utility and nature.
