Fitzroy Falls Dam, located in New South Wales, Australia, is part of the Shoalhaven Scheme, a complex of dams and pipelines that was completed in 1974. It consists of four separate earth and rockfill embankments located on the Yarrunga Creek upstream of Fitzroy Falls and about southeast of Moss Vale. The main embankment of is high and in length. At 100% capacity, the dam wall holds back approximately of water, creating the impounded Fitzroy Falls Reservoir, which has a surface area of, drawn from a catchment area of . The spillway has a discharge capacity of .[1] [2]
The 3030m (9,940feet) Wildes Meadow Canal connects the reservoir to the Burrawang Pumping Station. The 2830m (9,290feet) Burrawang Tunnel and 1000m (3,000feet) Canal join the pumping station to the Wingecarribee Reservoir.[3]
The Fitzroy Falls Dam is connected to the Bendeela Pondage via the Bendeela Pumping and Power Station, allowing it to act as both a hydroelectric power source and a storage reservoir that can send water to the Tallowa Dam, which feeds the Wingecarribee and Warragamba.[4]
