Ewen Maddock Dam is temporarily closed due to all water-based activities including swimming and paddle craft. This is due to the recent significant rainfall into the catchment and resulting inflows which may affect water quality, as well as the resulting water flowing over the spillway.

The closure will remain in place for the next three days and be reassessed on Monday 26 October 2026. Please note any further significant rainfall could extend the closure period.

An update on this closure will be provided on our Recreation and Safety Notices page on Monday 26 October.

Thank you for your patience during this necessary closure.
