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

The concrete-faced rockfill embankment dam stretches 175 meters across Doon Doon Creek with an uncontrolled concrete-lined chute spillway system.

The construction of the dam began in 1979 and concluded in 1983, with the reservoir reaching capacity before the official opening ceremony.

The area holds significance for the Ngandowal and Minyungbal speaking people of Bundjalung Country, with numerous Aboriginal artifacts discovered near the site.

The reservoir maintains a storage capacity of 16,000 megalitres, supplying drinking water to Tweed Shire and regulating water flow in the Tweed River.

Since 1991, more than 300,000 Australian Bass fish have been introduced to the reservoir, establishing a regulated fishing destination.
