30 Year Water Sector Strategy
Date: 29-Jun-2017
The Department of Energy and Water Supply has released a discussion paper to guide the development of a 30 Year Water Sector Strategy. In a Media Statement issued today Water Supply Minister Mark McArdle said the Discussion Paper, designed to facilitate active discussion and participation in creating a new path for Queensland’s water future in urban, rural, regional and remote communities, is a key element of the Newman Government’s Six Month Action Plan. “The Discussion Paper focuses on what Queensland’s future water needs may look like and discusses and identifies the opportunities and challenges Queenslanders are likely to face over the next 30 years”.
“All aspects of the water industry will be examined, including how water is supplied and delivered to the myriad of end users, operation of infrastructure and how to improve the integration of water and sewerage management,” he said.
