Kuranda Weir Recovery Project

Throughout 2024, CleanCo worked to successfully complete the following critical infrastructure repairs:

Make the site safe
Construct a temporary rock wall (coffer dam) to allow safe access to rebuild the weir embankment and enable operations to resume at the power station (Phase A)
Resume operations at the power station
Construct a weather resilient, permanent concrete wall to replace the earthen embankment (Phase B).

Phase A and B of the permanent rebuild at Kuranda Weir are now complete. The new concrete wall marks a significant step in strengthening the weir’s resilience and ensuring the reliability of the Barron Gorge Hydro Power Station.

With this phase of construction of the wall now complete, any safety risks associated with activities in the bed and banks of the Barron River have been resolved.

Phase C:

Phase C will involve designing and constructing all remaining elements necessary to complete the site. This will involve considerable planning, design and construction work.
We are working with engineers and planners from GHD to design the permanent site.
Phase C construction is planned for the second half of 2025
