Seymour Whyte, in alliance with SMEC and Toowoomba Regional Council, has been awarded the Cressbrook Dam Safety Improvement Project (CDSIP), a major infrastructure initiative set to significantly enhance flood resilience and water security for the Toowoomba region.
Representing the client’s largest project to date, this $266 million project will raise the dam crest height and widen the spillway, bringing the structure in line with current engineering design standards. Once complete, the upgraded dam will provide increased flood capacity, improved safety during major flood events, and ensure the long‑term reliability of Cressbrook Dam as a critical water supply asset for the region.
