The Auburn River Dam is a possible future reservoir located on the Auburn River near Mundubbera, Queensland. The site was recommended for a new dam site after a recent soil test declared the area's topography and clay based soil ideal for a large dammed reservoir. At present, no conclusive plans have been created and the dam has not been proposed by either the Queensland Government or Sunwater.[1][2]

Initially proposed nearly 70 years ago, the Auburn Dam seemed like a promising project. Preliminary construction commenced a decade later, envisioning a concrete weir nearly 700 feet tall on the north fork of the American River, flanked by Sacramento and El Dorado counties.[3]
