Construction began on March 2, 1998 and by October 26, 1999, the river diversion was complete.
Construction on the river diversion for the dam began in 2008 and its power plant is expected to be in commercial operation by 2013.
After the design and location were chosen, a further study was carried out in 1997, the same year preliminary construction (roads, bridges, river diversion) began.
It was established in 1992 and its primary purpose is to serve for river diversion.
As a result, this proposed river diversion was never undertaken.
The river diversion was closed and the reservoir began to impound in November 2007.
The dam's first study was conducted in 1995 and river diversion began in 1997.
The dam was planned in the 1950s but preliminary construction (roads, bridges, river diversion) did not begin until 1990.
Preliminary construction (roads, bridges, river diversion) on the project began in March 1990.
The cutting is one of around thirteen river diversions surviving from the Victorian gold rush.
