The Cotter River is a fresh water river in the Australian Capital Territory, AUSTRALIA. It is a tributary of the Murrumbidgee River and part of Murray-Darling Basin. The Cotter River is one of two rivers, the Queanbeyan River is the other, that meet the water supply needs of the Canberra and Queanbeyan region. The river is named after a colonial convict Garrett Cotter who first settled here and had a very long and continued association with the Cotter River region in the mid 19th century.
The Enlarged Cotter Dam project involves building a new dam downstream of the existing one to increase the Cotter reservoir capacity from the current 4 gigalitres (GL) to around 78 GL – almost 20 times its current size.
The Cotter Dam Discovery Trail and viewing platform is Canberra’s newest attraction and will allow the community to take a front row seat to watch the enlargement of Cotter Dam as it happens.
