The Department of Building and Housing is now consulting on the recommendations made in the Dam Safety Review – Report of findings of an independent review of the Dam Safety Scheme (the Review).

- potential risks to human life, property and the environment in the event of dam failure,
- compliance costs caused by the Scheme, and
- efficiency and effectiveness of the Scheme.
The Review of the Dam Safety Scheme discussion document has been designed to help you formulate your feedback on the recommendations which are of particular interest to the Department.
