Spoke on friday to a redland shire councillor-reply was "Not even a chance while this mayor is in charge"
Again,this is not an official statement-but just an opinion from one who works in the inner sanctum at R.S.C.
I live quite close to it, but I know i can't help much (being 14 and all) but just driving past it told me that it would make a great fishery!

Have been dreaming of winning the lotto of late because there is a block of land for sale on Duncan road. Thinking it would make a great carpark and launching area (mind you only when the dam levels are fairly high).
Count me in and I volunteer Duncan to help too.
will send you a PM Fitzy

Hi all
I have grown up in the redlands 30 years ago and i think it is a great idea on a few fronts. As previously mentioned it would be a very good draw card for tourism and secondly it would be a extreme positive from a environmental point of view.in helping the control of talapia
Having said i know how much the RCC like to make it as difficult as they can with anything. In my experience unless you know some one in the RCC or some else who does you are really pushing $hit up hill.
I believe one good angle of approach would be getting the local environmental agency, on board for starters One of the directors used to work for RCC as a Senior Conservation Officer for 6 years and as they still liaison with RCC he would have good contacts within the council. Also i am sure that they wouuld have to had done inpact studies on the dam before and should know it inside out
Would have to help with any submissions i would imagine
PM me for contact details
Good luck

Doesn't Seqwater now control this area?
To be honest i wouldn't have a clue
Here is a slim chance on getting the dam stocked. Access to fish it may be different matter. Got to start some where. At least some one in Redlands council is now nomitted to at least acknowledge freshwater fish.

Jermay87 these things take time as your post is still going after all this time
BUMP!!!
I came across this post by accident just now.
I thought I would give it a bump.
Has anyone heard anymore re this matter?

Wouldn't this potential project be the perfect litmus test to see if a species like mangrove jack could out compete tilapia as a possible solution?

And get as many as you can to register and have input to at least get this open to fishing and try for water access (sail/paddle/electric or even better for waterskiing/jetskis etc but low emissions outboards 6 knots like wivenhoe would do too )

Just to keep this alive, have heard from a council that they are looking into fishing the dam again, just might be in next couple of years. I believe they are looking at best ways to operate it.
Life begins when you get one!!!
