The Schedule supports the delivery of the Queensland Fish-friendly Water Extraction Project: Condamine-Balonne and Border Rivers (the Project), as part of the Northern Basin Toolkit Measures.
This Project will :
- screen offtake pumps and diversion infrastructure to ensure fish are not removed from northern Basin rivers and so increase native fish populations in relevant catchments. The demonstration sites are located in reaches of the Lower Balonne River, the Queensland Border Rivers and the Condamine River.
- increase the uptake of screening technology by irrigators more broadly across the northern Basin.
