The $18.5 million Cedar Grove Weir is part of the Logan River system that also will include the proposed $500 million Wyaralong Dam on the Teviot Brook and the $39.5 million Bromelton Offstream Storage facility.
[edit] Overview
The weir is located 14 km north west of Beaudesert. The project was completed in December 2007 and can provide 11 megalitres of water a day. It is now managed by Queensland Water Infrastructure, a body setup to administer major water infrastructure projects in the region. [1]
In conjunction with the South Maclean Weir and water treatment plants, this dam will act as a pumping pool for captured releases from the proposed Wyaralong Dam located upstream.[2] This will provide immediate supplies to the Beaudesert district. The weir will also connect to the regional SEQ Water Grid.
The weir overflowed for the first time on the 4 January 2008.[3]
