Abstract / Summary:
A water allocation management plan has been completed for the Fitzroy Basin and resource operations plans are being developed as part of an overall strategy to reform water management. CRC Project 3.2 is exploring ways of enhancing the water market reform process by conducting a socioeconomic analysis of guidelines and procedures for trading in mature water markets. Existing trading rules and procedures and their impact on regional towns and communities will be evaluated and, in partnership with industry and other interest groups, scenarios and rules and procedures for trade in the year 2010 will be developed.
The report provides important background information on irrigator and community attitudes to water reform and water trading in particular. The findings of the study provide critical input to resource operations plans as well as long term strategic planning for water trading in the catchment.
