Goldfields Reservoir dam wall works

Published on 05 May 2026

Our Operations team are continuing with upgrade works at Goldfields Reservoir.

A section of the dam, on the Derby Road side of the Reservoir, is being raised to stabilise the bank.

This involves adding rocks to the dam wall, re-gravelling the walking track and replacing the seating.

Making the dam wall higher will make it safer for community use and will keep the dam wall strong and reliable for years to come.

The works are happening now while water levels are low.

Please note sections of the walking track will be closed at times whilst the works are carried out.

Due to recent rain the project has been delayed by a week which means there will be no access this weekend 9-10 May.

Unfortunately, Goldfields Reservoir Parkrun will not be held on Saturday 9 May - we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

This project is part of the Victoria Government’s stabilisation and safety upgrades for dams across the state.
