The dam was managed by the Brisbane City Council until July 2008, until it was transferred to Seqwater in a region-wide redistribution of water assets. During summer the recreational area is a popular place for local families to escape the heat. There are walking tracks in the area, and no permit is required. In March 2014, Seqwater released

140-558: Is rare as one of the few remaining examples in Queensland of an intact and functioning reservoir and treatment plant from this period in time. The clay-cored earth-fill dam was designed and built by Joseph Brady. Water supply problems plagued Brisbane's early years. Soon after the Brisbane Municipal Council was established in 1860, a Water Supply Committee was formed. The earliest reservoir in Brisbane, which

160-535: The Brisbane River near Dutton Park was dismissed because of its prohibitive costs. The other site Oldham suggested was selected because it was where Enoggera Creek left the range. The Surveyor-General , Augustus Gregory also suggested a site on Ithaca Creek . This location was abandoned because it had a small catchment size. Enoggera Creek had a large catchment that rose higher in the D'Aguilar Range and had more smaller creeks flowing into it. The location

By 1869 the pipelines were extended to a total of eighteen kilometers, benefiting between five and six thousand people.

By the end of 1870 more than £71,000 had been spent and water supply for the rapidly growing city of Brisbane was not being met by strong demand. To solve the problem another dam, Gold Creek Dam was approved in 1881. A commemorative drinking fountain in

It was decommissioned in 2003, then in early 2006 water from Enoggera Dam was again added to inner north-west Brisbane's drinking water supply, when drought had reduced South East Queensland 's water supply to critical levels. During the 2022 eastern Australia floods , Enoggera Dam reached

The Queensland Government didn't have confidence in the Council to supervise the dam's construction. After requesting revised plans and detailed cost estimates the Board of Waterworks was established to oversee the project. Approval for the dam's construction was given in May 1864. Work began in August 1864, with water flowing by July 1866. A single wrought-iron mains pipe, 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter (in lieu of
