Information

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.No motorboats are permitted (electric only). Visitors can SUP, paddle, and fish. MTB area nearby and picnic areas. Dogs permitted (on leash).
