Created 16/10/2025

Updated 19/11/2025

It was requested that the Branch examine the Naronga site with a view to determining whether it was suitable from a geological point of view for the construction of a flood control dam. The area was visited and mapped in March, 1946. The topography, geology, possible site and capacity of a retaining wall are discussed in this report. Three plates showing the area and sections accompany this report.
