Completed in August 2004, the SEQ Regional Water Supply Strategy Stage 1 report aimed to:

• Ensure that all local governments in the study area could meet their water supply needs to 2020;
• Identify the regional infrastructure that must be progressed in the short to medium term; and
• Assess rural water needs.

Published in November 2005, the Interim Report outlined:

• The approach needed to ensure water supplies meet our short and medium term water needs
  • details of short term priority projects and contingency planning initiatives to be commenced in the period 2005-2009; and
  • medium (2010-2020) and possible long term (2020-2050) initiatives.

The Strategy sought input from key interest groups through a series of workshops. Workshop contents and issues are summarised:

• Workshop 1 Report - December 2005 (PDF, 87 KB)
• Workshop 2 Report - February 2006 (PDF, 117 KB)
