Manton Dam Project Completed Early and Under Budget at $174 Million
The Manton Dam Return to Service project has been completed $15 million under budget, totaling $174 million. This project is vital for enhancing Darwin's water supply and supports expected regional growth.

The Manton Dam Return to Service project is now complete, having finished at a cost of $174 million, which is $15 million under budget. Funded by the Albanese Government and the Northern Territory Government, this initiative is part of the $327.6 million Darwin Region Water Supply Infrastructure Program Stage 1.
Key components include upgrades to the intake tower, a new Strauss Water Treatment Plant, and a pump station with 22 km of pipeline. This project will increase water availability by 7,300 megalitres annually and has engaged over 111 employees and 500 contractors, providing local economic benefits.
The savings from this project will be redirected to planning for the Adelaide River Off-Stream Water Storage project. The commissioning of the treatment plant is ongoing, moving towards integration with the Darwin water network.
