RAPAD Water for Economic Development – Regional Water Strategy

This project originated partly in response to an action identified in the CWQ Regional Resilience Plan, and was developed with the following key objectives:

To identify and determine each of the RAPAD council members demand for future water for economic development and assess:
– the scale of the demand,
– the potential economic outcomes supported by this water use,
– the challenges relating to water in realising these economic outcomes,
– the nature of the investment needed to deliver these outcomes; and
– identify solutions to address key barriers to growing the economic potential of Central Western Queensland.
