A 300km network of pipelines is planned for the Lockyer Valley region to help grow the agricultural and horticultural industries.
The project will use purified recycled water, whilst also sourcing up to 34000 mega litres from the Wivenhoe Dam.
The Lockyer Valley, which produces some of Australia’s most diverse fruits and vegetables, has become overly reliant on groundwater supply in recent years due to ongoing droughts.
