Traditional owners in the Cape Yorke Peninsula Heritage Area have been granted water licences under the region’s water plan for the first time.
This decision from the Minister of Water Glenn Butcher follows a lengthy development plan working with Traditional Owners to ensure they receive greater water resource management in the country.
This announcement was made as part of national water week and includes two water licenses, accounting for more than five thousand megalitres in the Coleman and Normanby catchments.
