Following the completed installation of the nine outdoor warning stations, live testing of this system is required to ensure it works and to create awareness within the community on what to expect in the highly unlikely situation of a dam related emergency. While the likelihood of a dam failure is extremely low, Council’s priority is always focused on the safety of our community and our visitors.
To find out more about when and how testing will occur, please visit our Live Testing page.
