Qld:Inquiry recommends lowering dam level
Southeast Queensland's Wivenhoe Dam will be temporarily reduced to 75 per cent capacity
if another horror wet season is predicted.
The Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry has released its interim report into summer's
disaster, which claimed 35 lives.
The 260-page document contains 104 recommendations for the state government and its agencies.
Premier ANNA BLIGH has accepted the report from Commissioner Justice CATHERINE HOLMES
in Brisbane.
It recommends that if the Bureau of Metrology makes a similar seasonal forecast for
the 2011/12 wet season as it did for 2010/11, the Queensland government should temporarily
reduce the dam level at Wivenhoe to 75 per cent.
