There was some heavy rainfall across the region yesterday, and recorded falls across the Lake Awoonga catchment ranged from 6mm to 127mm.

That’s given a lovely boost to the Awoonga Dam water capacity, and for the keen watchers on our website, you would have seen the Awoonga Dam capacity rise from 64.4% yesterday to 68% today, with some more small rises expected today and tomorrow. The dam is also one metre higher today than it was this time last week.

But while we love the rain, it’s important to keep an eye on updates on weather warnings, particularly as we head into the summer storm season. For all updates on road closures and weather warnings, please visit Gladstone Regional Council and remember, if it's flooded, forget it.

Tap for the win!

Gladstone’s tap water is safe, fresh, affordable - and better for the environment than single-use bottles.

Make the switch and protect our waterways from plastic pollution.

GAWB has reliably supplied water to Gladstone since 1973. Find out how at gawb.qld.gov.au

Awoonga Dam water levels have been slowly rising over the past week, after significant rainfall over parts of the Boyne River catchment.

The dam water level has risen approximately half a metre in the past week, and capacity has lifted from 61% to 64% over the past seven days. Some further small rises are expected over the coming days.

Did you know? GAWB updates Awoonga Dam capacity information regularly on our website – www.gawb.qld.gov.au

Water connects everything.
Water does more than fill our taps. At Lake Awoonga, it supports wildlife, recreation, education and a much-loved fishing destination.
This National Water Week, we’re shining a light on Aquaculture Gladstone, where Barramundi, Mangrove Jack and Sea Mullet fingerlings are produced for release into Lake Awoonga.
From tiny fingerlings to opportunities for learning and discovery, it’s a local story of how water connects everything.

Nothing beats a night at Boynedale Bush Camp - fresh air, crackling campfires, and stories which somehow get better after dark.
If you're lighting a campfire, let's keep it safe and stress-free:
- Check current first conditions and restrictions
- Keep fires small, contained and within the designated fire pits
- Never leave a fire unattended
- Fully extinguish it before going to be (ashes must be cold to the touch).
Enjoy the bush, respect the camp and help keep Boynedale beautiful for everyone.
Lake Awoonga. Your perfect day and night under the stars.

What does it take to raise healthy fish and maintain a successful hatchery?

Recently, agricultural studies students from CQUniversity visited Aquaculture Gladstone to find out.

The students toured the facility and learned about hatchery operations, fish production, fish health and the important role biosecurity plays in aquaculture.

We were pleased to support the next generation of agricultural and aquaculture professionals through this learning experience. Want your school or university to come take an educational tour? Visit gawb.qld.gov.au for more.

Whether you're looking to create opportunities for family fishing or simply to get more from your dam, stocking with quality fingerlings can be a worthwhile investment.
