Map and list of emergency action plans for referable dams
A dam is referable if a failure impact assessment (PDF, 2.3MB) demonstrates there would be 2 or more people at risk if the dam was to fail.
Every referable dam is required to have an emergency action plan (EAP) that describes how to manage a dam during an emergency. The plans include inundation maps of potential downstream impact.
Use our map to learn more about referable dams in Queensland and their EAPs.
Access note
These plans are in PDF format, and may be slow to download due to large file sizes. They may not be able to be read by assistive readers. If you require the documents in an alternative format, please email damsafety@rdmw.qld.gov.au and we will endeavour to meet all reasonable requests.
The EAP documents are uploaded as they become available.
