Feasability of a Salinity Trading Scheme for the Fitzroy River Basin
The Queensland government is committed to resolving both short and long term issues arising out of excess water within Central Queensland mines that is hindering mine production and could compromise mine safety. There are many implications relevant to this issue such as disposal methods of the water and the impacts this may have on the environment and communities within the region. In order to effectively manage this issue in the long-term, the Department of State Development Infrastructure and Planning (DSDIP) will engage a consultant to investigate alternative long-term mine water management strategies e.g. non-market and market based mechanisms such as a Salinity Trading Scheme. If the feasibility is demonstrated, recommendations on an appropriate scheme and all necessary legislative and administrative arrangements required to support the scheme need to be developed.
