The Callide Dam was constructed in 1965 to supply water for a nearby power station in Biloela in the state of Queensland, Australia.[2] Callide Dam holds 136,300 megalitres (3.60×1010 US gal) at an average depth of 10.5 metres (34 ft) and a surface area of 1,240 hectares (3,100 acres) at full capacity.
The dam supplies water to the Callide Power Station.[2]
SunWater, the water supply and services company, has undertaken a multi-station upgrade program to ensure highest levels of safety for dams of their responsibility. The Callide spillway is scheduled be upgraded in the 'medium-term' range.[3]
Fishing
A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish in the dam.[4]
