Gold Creek Dam or Gold Creek Reservoir is an earthen dam located on the outskirts of Brisbane. The structure was replaced by the present concrete structure built in 1905. As part of a long-term remedial works strategy for Gold Creek Dam, Brisbane Water, working with Brisbane City Council, will commence Phase Two construction works in November 2004 to preserve this important flood mitigation asset and local recreation area.
