With climate change causing an increase in extreme weather events – including floods, fires and drought – organisations and councils around Australia are repairing and upgrading pre-existing infrastructure to future-proof their communities. To help Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) improve drought resilience, the Queensland Government has invested $19.34 million to extend local water supplies, providing much needed water security to more than 24,000 residents in the region. The latest works completed under this funding are upgrades to the SDRC owned Leslie Dam Pump Station, including the replacement of three 55-year-old pumps.
