Resumen
Descripción
Irrigation underpins approximately one-third of the value of Queensland’s agricultural
production. There are calls for further development of water infrastructure in northern
Queensland to enhance the production of sugar cane, horticulture, aquaculture and other
crops. One of the steps in assessing potential new developments is to establish which
groups have demands for additional water, and how sensitive they are to price. Surveys
are one mechanism that can be used to gauge this information. Various surveys to assess
water demands have been carried out in the Mackay, Burdekin and Atherton Tablelands
regions and the results are reported in this paper.
