THE Southern Downs Regional Council’s approval of its own proposal to establish a camping ground at Warwick’s Connolly Dam was not without its doubters, council records show. Councillors at their April meeting in Warwick last week voted in favour of opening Connolly Dam up to camping, with 20 caravan and tent sites planned, along with a caretaker’s residence, over three stages. A number of public submissions were lodged in relation to the plan, several of which pointed out major issues with the state of roads within the dam reserve, protection of wildlife such as waterbirds, unsuitability for caravans and vehicle safety on Connolly Dam Road. And some suggested money might be better spent on facilities at Leslie Dam, which they argued would continue to draw greater numbers of visitors, while others supported the Connolly Dam idea wholeheartedly.
