Ord surface water allocation plan

Plan
How we will provide reliable water for irrigation as development in the Ord River area continues, while ensuring there is enough water in the lower Ord River to sustain the natural environment
Last updated:

This water allocation plan sets out how we will allocate and license surface water from existing infrastructure in the Ord River area to manage the competing demands of irrigation, hydroelectricity generation and the lower Ord environment, while also recognising the river’s social and cultural values.

The plan will also guide water licensing in the transition to full allocation from the existing infrastructure.
