The Paradise Dam Improvement Project involves constructing a new dam wall downstream of the existing structure to address critical safety concerns and restore water security for the Bundaberg region, in response to the deteriorating structural integrity of the existing dam wall. 

The new dam will support long-term agricultural productivity and protect downstream communities by reducing the risk of dam failure during extreme weather events.
