Mullumbimby Hydro-electric Power Station Complex
Mullumbimby Hydro-electric Power Station Complex, Hydroelectric power station complex in New South Wales, Australia
The power station facility incorporates multiple structures including weirs, pipelines, and a main powerhouse with timber framing covered in corrugated iron sheeting.
Constructed between 1924 and 1926 under William Corin's design, the station provided electricity to Mullumbimby, Byron Bay, and Bangalow until its decommissioning in 1990.
The complex represents early 20th-century industrial engineering in Australia, featuring original Pelton turbines and machinery that showcase technological development of the period.
Located on Wilsons Creek Road, the facility remains accessible for educational visits, managed jointly by Byron Shire Council and Essential Energy.
The station's 7-meter weir at Lavertys Gap served dual purposes, generating hydroelectric power while simultaneously supplying water to the local town.
