A proposal to raise the Warragamba Dam wall by 14 metres has been declared critical state significant infrastructure, as it is deemed essential to NSW for economic and social reasons.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said the proposal to raise the Dam wall would save lives, save properties and would help future-proof Western Sydney from flood risks.

“First and foremost my number one priority as premier is protecting NSW communities and we know from the independent flood inquiry that the best way to protect communities downstream is to raise the wall,” Mr Perrottet said.
