Spring Hill Reservoirs, Historic water reservoirs in Spring Hill, Australia
The Spring Hill Reservoirs consist of two underground storage chambers built with red brick walls and mortar, featuring arched internal compartments and gabled roofs.
The first reservoir, constructed in 1871, and the second in 1882, supplied water from Enoggera Dam to Brisbane residents until their decommissioning in 1962.
The reservoirs transformed into performance spaces in 2014, hosting opera concerts and art installations within their underground chambers, connecting engineering heritage with modern arts.
Located at 230 Wickham Terrace, these reservoirs contained 69,000 locally produced bricks and operated through a gravity feed system for water distribution.
These structures remain the sole examples of brick-built underground water reservoirs with arched baffle walls in Queensland, differing from standard concrete construction methods.
