The Wyaralong Dam is a water project that was initiated by the Queensland Government in 2006 as a result of a prolonged drought which saw South East Queensland''s dam catchment area receive record low rain. The site was identified in a 1990 study, Water Supply Sources in South-East Queensland , as a future source of water supply for the South East Queensland region. In this report it was ranked 13th out of 15 studied possible dam locations in South East Queensland. A location on the Albert River at Glendower, also near Beaudesert, was the preferred location and the government subsequently bought back all the land required for the Glendower Dam. A new dam was not expected to be required until 2060 or later and Glendower Dam remained the preferred dam site, the land already fully government owned.
