Work on Nepean Dam started in 1925. It was interrupted for a few years by the Depression but resumed in 1933. Materials were hauled on a standard gauge railway line from the main southern line near Bargo. The dam was finally completed in 1935.
The London River, inland from the coastal town of Kiama, was considered in 1920 for conversion into a reservoir and possibly a dam. However, it was finally left as part of the catchment for the anticipated Nepean Dam.
