Maroon Dam

The Maroon Dam is a rock and earth-fill embankment dam with an un-gated spillway across the Burnett Creek that is located in the South East region of Queensland, Australia.

The primary inflow of the reservoir is Burnett Creek, a tributary of Logan River.

The dam has a clearance of 10.4 metres (34 ft) above full supply level for flood mitigation purposes.

The reservoir was officially opened on 16 July 1975 by Neville Hewitt, the Queensland Minister for Water Resources.
