DAM SAFETY

We provide guidance to declared dam owners on how to comply with the regulation and standards. Where required, we can enforce the regulation through a range of penalties... Dams Safety NSW was established under the Dams Safety Act 2015 as an independent, transparent and effective regulator responsible for ensuring dam owners manage the safety of declared dams in the state... For over 40 years, the safety of NSW dams was administered under the Dams Safety Act 1978. In lieu of detailed requirements set out in specific regulations, the Dams Safety Committee administered the 1978 Act by publishing guidance sheets for dam owners to follow. The 1978 Act had very limited penalty provisions.
