The Auburn River Dam is a possible future reservoir located on the near Mundubbera, Queensland. The site was recommended for a new dam site after a recent soil test declared the area's topography and clay based soil ideal for a large dammed reservoir. At present, no conclusive plans have been created and the dam has not been proposed by either the Queensland Government or Sunwater.[1][2]
