The Leslie Harrison Dam is a water storage reservoir for the Redland City Council. The dam forms Tingalpa Reservoir which is situated between the suburbs of Capalaba, Chandler and Burbank in Brisbane, Australia.
The dam was completed in 1968 and provides approximately 20% of Redland Shire town water supply. When full, excess water flows over the spillway into the lower reaches of Tingalpa Creek. In 1984, dam gates were installed.[2]
In July 2008, the Government of Queensland took over ownership of the dam as part of a water security project in the South East Queensland region, known as the South East Queensland Water Grid.[3] In 2014, work began on improving the safety of the dam after Seqwater completed a major investigation of its operating dams.[2]
Swimming is prohibited, but the state government plans to allow fishing and recreational use of the reservoir in late 2013.[4]
