The Wivenhoe Power Station is situated between the Splityard Creek Dam and Lake Wivenhoe. The Splityard Creek Dam is located in hills adjacent to Lake Wivenhoe and is about 100 metres (330 ft) above it.[2] The power station is the only pumped storage hydroelectric plant in Queensland.[3]
The Wivenhoe Dam has been built across the Brisbane River about 80 kilometres (50 mi) by road from the centre of Brisbane, the capital of the state of Queensland, Australia. The body of water held behind the dam is called Lake Wivenhoe.
