2010: William Hovell Dam upgrade complete

In June 2010, GMW completed a major safety upgrade of William Hovell Dam.

The project aimed to improve the structural integrity of the dam, including managing safety risks associated with flood overtopping.

The $6 million works involved the main embankment being re-constructed and raised an extra two metres, the secondary embankment also being raised two metres, the spillway being strengthened and the spillway walls being raised.
