Sugarloaf Hydroelectric Power Station

Victoria, Australia

The Sugarloaf Dam is a rock-filled embankment dam, with saddle embankments, across the Sugarloaf Creek and a minor tributary, located near Christmas Hills, 35 kilometres (22 mi) north-east of the Melbourne central business district, in Victoria, Australia. Completed in 1981, the resultant eponymous reservoir, the Sugarloaf Reservoir, was established for the supply of potable water to Greater Metropolitan Melbourne. A mini-hydro power station was located at the site, however, it was subsequently decommisioned. The dam and reservoir are operated by Melbourne Water.
