Gosling Creek Dam

Gosling Creek Dam is a decommissioned minor earth and rock fill with clay core embankment dam with concrete chute spillway across the Gosling Creek upstream of Orange in the central western region of New South Wales, Australia.

[1] Gosling Creek Reservoir is no longer used for water supply purposes, and in recent years the Orange City Council has developed the area as a recreation reserve.

Facilities include a pedestrian and cycle way system, playground, bird hide, passive recreation areas.

The reservoir was previously surrounded by pine plantations which have been logged and progressively replaced by native vegetation plantings.

[1] In May, 2007 the nearby Cadia mine approached Orange City Council with a request to obtain water from Gosling Creek Reservoir for mining purposes due to their dwindling water supplies as a result of the ongoing drought.
