Work on the $24 million Leslie Harrison Dam Upgrade is expected to be completed ahead of schedule. The majority of construction works have been completed and shortly the contractor will be completing finishing works such as access roads, drains and reinstatement works and demobilising the site, which includes the removal of the temporary bridge, construction equipment and materials.

The temporary ‘military-style’ bridge – similar to those used globally for humanitarian emergencies – was constructed over Tingalpa Creek to allow site access while keeping the majority of construction traffic off local streets. It reduced the environmental impacts associated with the creek crossing and helped carry more than 14,000 loads of construction materials to the site safely.

Once the temporary bridge has been removed, construction traffic will revert to the existing Seqwater access to the site, and during this time residents can expect:

• Increased traffic, including heavy vehicles, entering and exiting the site from Mt Cotton Road through Larbonya Crescent/Willowie Crescent.

• Traffic management on local roads as required to maintain the safety of both the community and construction workers.

• Minor disturbances associated with finishing and demobilising work, such as noise and dust.

• No change to existing Seqwater operations, including the Capalaba Water Treatment Plant.

The completed Leslie Harrison Dam Upgrade has strengthened the dam embankment and spillway to better withstand extreme weather events and earthquakes.
