Mundaring Weir in 2020 Mundaring Weir is a concrete gravity dam (and historically the adjoining locality) located 39 kilometres (24 mi) from Perth, Western Australia in the Darling Scarp. The dam and reservoir form the boundary between the suburbs of Reservoir and Sawyers Valley. The dam impounds the Helena River.

European populations did not grow significantly until construction of the dam in the late 1890s. This involved the building of a Mundaring Weir railway line from Mundaring to the Mundaring Weir site.
The Irish Australian engineer C. Y. O'Connor was involved in the design of a scheme that transported water to the Eastern Goldfields of Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie in the eastern part of Western Australia. The weir was completed in 1903.
The lake created by the dam was known as the Helena River Reservoir,[1] it was renamed as Lake C.Y. O'Connor in 2004.[2]
The owner of the dam, the Water Corporation, refers to the weir as Mundaring Dam on its website, but no other authority, such as Geographic Names, or Geoscience Australia uses this term. The Shire of Mundaring uses an image of the Mundaring Weir in its logo.
Work commenced to raise the dam in the late 1940s, and was completed in November 1951.
In the early 1970s the downstream dam from the weir—the Lower Helena Pumpback Dam—was constructed.
It last overflowed into the Helena Valley in 1996.[3]
