Brunswick Dam
The Brunswick River is located 200 kilometres south of Perth, near Brunswick Junction. There are several possible water source development options ranging from a small dam to a major large dam, resulting in supply of between 20 to 34 gigalitres of water per year.
The development of this dam would require additional investment in water treatment due to water quality issues in the catchment area. There are also significant social and environmental considerations including clearing of native vegetation, inundation of the river valley, impacts on private landowners in the catchment area, impacts on flora and fauna and possible loss of recreational and social values in the area.
These significant issues are reasons why this resource has not been developed to date.
