Regional water supply strategies

Regional water supply strategies are the Queensland Government’s approach to ensuring short and long term water supply security on a regional basis. These strategies, developed in partnership with local governments, water service providers, industries and community groups, balance water demand and supply requirements and provide regional water supply solutions for the next 50 years.
