The Cambewarra Dam, which is over 100 years old, used to serve as a water storage facility for the Nowra township. However, it has been disused for the last 40 years and no longer fulfills any useful purpose.
In 2012, Council hired a consultant to conduct an assessment and evaluate the options for the future of Cambewarra Dam, which resulted in the decision to decommission it. This process involves removing the concrete wall and backfilling the dam site using the embankments.
