Water users in North West Queensland have been invited to have their say on a draft strategy to secure the region's water supplies for the next 50 years.
The strategy covers the Gulf catchments from the Northern Territory border to the Staaten River catchment at the base of Cape York and includes the local government areas of Mt Isa, Cloncurry, McKinlay, Richmond, Etheridge, Croydon, Burke, Doomadgee, Mornington Island and parts of Carpentaria, Flinders and Tablelands.

The Murray–Darling Basin is home to Australia’s most significant river system. The Queensland Murray–Darling Basin comprises the Border Rivers, Moonie, Condamine and Balonne, Nebine, Warrego, and Paroo catchments and is characterised by significant diversity from the fertile Darling Downs in the east through to the mulga lands in the west.
