Hinze Dam is located in the Gold Coast hinterland. Built across the Nerang River, it was originally constructed in 1976, raised in 1989 and significantly upgraded in 2011. Hinze Dam is the main drinking water supply for the Gold Coast region. The most recent upgrade saw the wall raised by 15 metres, doubling the dam’s capacity and providing increased water security and flood mitigation. It is an un-gated dam, meaning that when it reaches 100 per cent capacity, water flows over the spillway and safely out of the dam. See the current capacity of the Hinze Dam here: www.seqwater.com.au/dams/hinze
You are most welcome to bring a blanket and a packed picnic lunch, sit among the sculptures and enjoy the exhibition! The Waterside park area has limited shade, so hats and bottles of water are a good idea for each member of the family.
The View Cafe overlooks the Waterlines exhibition, however can get quite busy on the weekends. There will be a coffee cart located in Waterside Park on Saturdays and Sundays, with drinks and bakery treats.
Dogs are not permitted at Waterside Park.
