1995: GMW assumes ownership of major storages

A year after its formation, the ownership and operational responsibilities of 17 major storages (13 state owned and four owned by the Murray Darling Basin Commission) were transferred to GMW.

GMW now manages 23 major storages. Uniquely, GMW carries out most of its dam inspections internally.

These are supplemented by comprehensive five-yearly inspections carried out by specialist consultants.

Having our own team of skilled dam engineers who can respond to issues quickly helps us ensure the integrity and safety of our dams.
