Borumba Project: Works and notifications

Find out what works are taking place in your community.

We’re committed to engaging openly and transparently with our communities. As part of this commitment, Queensland Hydro will provide regular updates on works being undertaken at our proposed Borumba Pumped Hydro Project.

Queensland Hydro engages with all levels of government to obtain the correct permits and authorisations for its work. We also liaise with landholders where necessary to arrange access to their properties.

If you have questions about the works, we encourage you to contact the project team to ask for more information.
