THE State Opposition has promised to fast-track construction of the Wyaralong Dam if it wins the next election, after confirming the larger Wolffdene Dam project could not be resurrected.

Nationals leader Lawrence Springborg said a coalition government would "not simply pray for rain" and instead fast-track the development of Wyaralong Dam, between Boonah and Jimboomba, southwest of Brisbane.

The Wyaralong project was included in the Beattie Government's infrastructure plan released last year but the earliest it would be finished is 2015, while the plan said it could take up until 2026 to complete.

It would be the first major dam built in Queensland in 20 years.

The Government is also investigating the possibility of building a dam at Glendower, east of Beaudesert, on the Albert River.
