The company, in turn, took its name from the sailing ship Storm King, on which they migrated to Australia, arriving 9 February 1872.[1] The present dam was first proposed in 1928 but was not built until 1954 by the Stanthorpe Shire Council.[3] It had filled by February 1954.[4] Following local government area amalgamations in 2008, the dam is currently operated by the Southern Downs Regional Council. It supplies water both to residents of Stanthorpe and to irrigators.[2] The dam is increasing proving inadequate to meet the needs of the community it serves during drought periods. In 2007, Storm King Dam was carrying as little as two months supply.[2] GeographyStorm King Dam was created from Quart Pot Creek which is the only inflow and outflow of the dam.[5] AmenitiesStorm King Dam is available for recreational use, including fishing, water sports, bird watching and picnics. Fish in the dam include golden perch and murray cod. The lake attracts many water birds including pelicans. Barbeques and other picnic facilities are available. Boating is permitted on the lake, but motor boards require a permit.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite QPN|32613|Storm King Dam|accessdate=14 June 2015}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Granite Belt Water Planning|url=http://www.sdrc.qld.gov.au/page/Council_Information/Granite_Belt_Water_Planning/|publisher=Southern Downs Regional Council|accessdate=14 June 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article21324817 |title=COUNCIL MEETINGS. |newspaper=The Brisbane Courier |date=14 September 1928 |accessdate=14 June 2015 |page=11 |via=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article50577485 |title=Dam is full. |newspaper=The Courier-Mail |location=Brisbane |date=23 February 1954 |accessdate=14 June 2015 |page=12 |via=National Library of Australia}} 5. ^{{Queensland Globe|accessdate=13 June 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Storm King Dam|url=http://www.queensland.com/attraction/Storm-King-Dam|publisher=Queensland Government|accessdate=14 June 2015}} External links{{commons category-inline|Storm King Dam}} 2 : Southern Downs Region|Dams in Queensland |
