The dam was completed in 1953 providing flood mitigation and water storage for the cities of Brisbane and Ipswich and is the site of a small 4 MW hydroelectric power station. At full capacity the lake holds 904,000 megalitres. Under normal conditions 380,000 megalitres is reserved for water supply, but the dam can hold another 524,000 megalitres to temporarily store flood waters.
