The Auburn River Dam is a proposed dam across the Auburn River, located near Mundubbera, in the Wide Bay-Burnett region of Queensland, Australia.
The site was recommended for a new dam site after an earlier soil test declared the area's topography and clay based soil ideal for a large dammed reservoir.[1][2]
At present, no conclusive plans have been created and the dam has not been proposed by either the Queensland Government or SunWater.
