Cedar Pocket Scheme
The Cedar Pocket Water Supply Scheme was established to support irrigation for the local dairy industry following the construction of Cedar Pocket Dam in 1985.
All of the water from the Cedar Pocket scheme is used for irrigation. The scheme is located east of Gympie, along a 10 kilometre section of Deep Creek from which irrigators draw water directly. Water releases from Cedar Pocket Dam into the creek are undertaken manually by Seqwater.
