Clarrie Hall Dam

Clarrie Hall Dam, Water reservoir and embankment dam in Northern Rivers region, Australia

Clarrie Hall Dam is a 43-metre-high, 175-metre-long concrete-faced rockfill embankment dam across Doon Doon Creek, a tributary of the Tweed River. Its uncontrolled concrete-lined chute spillway can discharge 590 cubic metres per second. The dam creates Lake Clarrie Hall, which covers 220 hectares and holds 16,000 megalitres at full supply level of 61.5 metres AHD.

Construction of Clarrie Hall Dam began in 1979 and it opened in 1983, named after Clarence Henry Hall, a Tweed Shire councillor from 1953 until his death in 1979 who had pushed for the project; the council voted unanimously to honour him. Heavy rain before the ceremony left the reservoir already full at its opening. In April 2013 work began to widen the spillway crest to 35 metres and raise the inlet and parapet walls by 2 metres.

The dam is named after Clarence Henry Hall, a Tweed Shire councillor from 1953 to 1979 who helped plan it; after his death the council voted unanimously to name it for him. Lake Clarrie Hall is stocked with Australian bass and is fished under licence.

Access to the lake for electric outboard and paddle-powered craft is at Crams Farm, at the southern end of the waterbody. A fishing licence is required to fish in the lake. High levels of blue-green algae are common on the lake surface.

Lake Clarrie Hall has been stocked with more than 358,000 Australian bass fingerlings over the past 10 years. Boat access for electric outboard and paddle-powered craft is available at Crams Farm, at the southern end of the waterbody.
