Urannah Dam

The Urannah Dam is a proposed dam across the Broken River that, when complete, will be located 90 kilometres (56 mi) west of Mackay in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia. The project, proposed by Bowen River Utilities, entails a dam, two pipelines to deliver water to industrial customers, a master planned irrigation scheme, and a pumped hydro which will feed reliable energy back into the grid. Construction of the dam is opposed by conservationists, including concerns that the dam would impact the Irwin's turtle. In October 2022, the Australian Government withdrew a March 2022 announcement to provide A$483 million towards construction of the dam. In December 2022, it was reported that the project was cancelled, as government funding for an environmental impact statement was not forthcoming.
