Tallebudgera Creek Dam was constructed in the 1950s on Tallebudgera Creek and long since forgotten as one of the southern Gold Coast's water supply reservoirs. In 2006, after two years of investigation, reports and public consultations, work to upgrade the existing Tallebudgera Creek Dam to required Department of Natural Resources and Water standards, was to commence soon. Options considered were to permanently lower the level of the spillway, install flood-triggered gates and removal of the dam.

Famous quotes containing the words creek and/or dam:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The devil take one party and his dam the other!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
