Windamere Dam is 69 metre, earth and rock fill embankmentdam on the Cudgegong River near Mudgee , New South Wales , Australia . The Cudgegong River eventually flows into the Burrendong Dam reservoir. The dam was built by the New South Wales Department of Water Resources to supply water for irrigation, stock and domestic demands and was completed in 1984. Geotechnical problems included excessive grout takes in highly fractured rock in the dam foundation. The dam foundations are weathered Devonian conglomerates, sandstones and shales. The spillway is located about 1 km away from the dam in mostly unweathered Ordovician andesite. The spillway is an unlined rock cutting that provided all the rock fill required for the construction of the damembankment. If a spillway had been built in the weathered sedimentary rocks at the dam site full concrete lining would have been required.

It has an overall height of 115 metres, a crest length of 870 metres and a base width of 400 metres. Because the dam is located within a region influenced by cyclones, it has been designed to withstand a probable maximum flood of 15000 m s. The 180m long labyrinth spillway is designed to pass a flood of 7800 m s without damage representing a return flood of 200 years. The Maguga Dam received the South African Institution of Civil Engineering award for most outstanding civil engineering achievement in the International Category for 2001.
