The object of this Proclamation is to add to Schedule 1 to the Dams Safety Act 1978 certain dams that the Dams Safety Committee considers may present a safety hazard to life, property or the environment, and to omit from that Schedule a dam that the Committee considers no longer presents such a hazard.

The Dams Safety Act 1978 enables the Committee to exercise certain powers in relation to dams listed in the Schedule (for example, the issuing of notices requiring work to be done i n relation to the safety of a dam).
