Teemburra Dam

TEEMBURRA Dam was constructed in 1997 for town water storage and irrigation purposes. It is located approximately 50 km west of Mackay on a well sealed road. In fact you would almost pass it if you were going to Eungella Dam.

It has a surface area of 1040 hectares, an average depth of 14.2 meters and holds 147 500 mega litres of water at full capacity. Local fish stocking group MAFSA stock Sooty Grunter and Barramundi here and have set up their own community hatchery to breed Sooty Grunter.

A 25 horse power limit applies to all boats here with no water skiing allowed. A single lane concrete ramp is provided. There is no camping allowed at the dam. A Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) is required to fish at Teemburra Dam.
