Farmers reprieved on Brisbane dams
7 Jun 2006
Queensland’s budget allocated $50 million for emergency purchases at the Traveston Dam site in the Noosa hinterland, north of Brisbane, while no money has been set aside for a dam in the Rathdowney area, south of Brisbane. The two valleys are currently diversified farmland. While $600 million has been allocated in the budget to water projects, more than half of this is for projects to help the mining industry in the Bowen Basin in central Queensland.
