queensland Borumba Dam Social Interest

[tugger]

Want to kick off another social up at Borumba Dam and have a couple of dates in mind please reply if you are interested in going and what would be your prefered date. What dates suit you best 5th to 7th of may or 12th to 14th of may. We will camp up near the dam and have a saturday night cook up where everyone brings a bit of tucker to throw in for the community dinner.

[aussie123]

I am in on this one and either date is fine.

[The Mad Hughesy]

This may very well be around the dates for another year of suburbs of origin...could be a freshwater special!

 

good on you for bringing back a social aspect for the club

There's no beaches at Borumba so Angus will not have to eat sand all night long.

You'll have to count me out of any of those dates, our baby is due on the 5th and I imagine I'll be fairly busy in the weeks following.

Hope you all enjoy it anyhow! I'm sure you will.

[demarc]

I'll be in Tugger. I'll have my 3.7mtr boat registered soon, so will take that up. Do you know if mutts are allowed there? I vaguely remember something about on lead only? 

Been a few years since I've been there now!

[straddiebrad]

Also taken from the SEQ Newsletter in regards to extending the Borumba Dam boat ramp;  "Construction will commence around late April or early May."

I'm not sure if the ramp will still be functional in this period.

[Salt Shaker]

Any of those dates work for me, definately count me in. 

[tugger]

So far most replies are happy with either date or prefer the 12th to the 14th of May so I will set the social for these dates and make another thread to keep the planning in motion

Nothing on website damis onlya t 69% using gravel rampas new concrete one is out of water.

Lake Borumba - Water levels and boating access

Date:

23/02/2017

Due to lower water levels, the boat ramp at Lake Borumba (Borumba Dam) was closed in November 2016 and a temporary ramp was installed for visitors.

The temporary ramp is accessible by 4WD vehicles only.

If the water level continues to drop, we will be required to close the temporary boat ramp.

Boat ramps at a number of our lakes are currently closed due to low water levels including Lake Baroon (northern only), Lake Atkinson and Lake Dyer.

Stage one of the boat ramp upgrade was completed in August 2016, with stage two due for delivery early-2017. Upgrading the existing boat ramp was the safest and most cost efficient solution for improving accessibility to the lake. It has been designed to meet Australian safety standards, however it becomes unsafe to use when water levels are much lower than usual at the lake.

We will continue to monitor water levels at Lake Borumba this week and provide further updates.

For more information, contact recreation@seqwater.com.au
