Eungella Dam is an earth and rockfill dam in the locality of Eungella Dam, Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia. It is one of Queensland's freshwater fisheries. Eungella has made a name for producing extra oversized sooty grunter and more recently barramundi.
SunWater is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure the highest level of safety for the dams is maintained. The spillway will be upgraded in the longer term. A pumped hydro project is planned downstream of the dam.
