The Snowy Mountains Scheme is located about 100 kilometres south of Canberra in New South Wales, the Snowy Mountains area.
Construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme began on 17 October 1949.
When the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme was begun, it required more manpower than Australia could offer, especially people with particular skills and training. The Scheme attracted tens of thousands of skilled immigrants, resulting in not only an increase in Australia's population, but in its cultural diversity. These migrants were happy to come to Australia as their own countries were suffering post-war economic depression, and Australia offered new opportunities for them.
Also known as the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme, construction of the Snowy River began on 17 October 1949. Planning, however, had begun many years earlier.
