Water resource plan amendment
In December 2007, the amended Mary Water Resource Plan was released. The Water Resource (Mary Basin) Amendment Plan (No.1) (listed as item 343) provides for:
- administrative changes to reflect existing operating arrangements in the Lower Mary River Water Supply Scheme by transferring responsibility for operating and managing parts of the scheme from SunWater to Maryborough City Council by creating a new Water Supply Scheme.
- amendments to the annual volumetric limits for licences granted to Rainbow Shores Pty Ltd, without increasing the total volume of water taken
- inclusion of water allocation security objectives (WASOs) for the Wide Bay Water Supply Scheme.
Water resource plan
The Minister for Natural Resources and Water released the Water Resource (Mary Basin) Plan 2006 (listed under the Water Act 2000) in July 2006, following consideration of submissions on the draft plan. Explanatory notes (PDF, 325K)* accompany the plan.
