Streamlining regulation while protecting fish passage – it’s win-win! 🥳🐟 Fisheries Queensland is making it easier to deliver essential infrastructure while continuing to protect our critical native fish habitats. Recent amendments to the Queensland waterways for waterway barrier works mapping will simplify and streamline regulation and provide greater flexibility for development projects in Western Queensland. 🤝 We’ve reclassified the Condamine-Balonne, Moonie and Border rivers drainage basins as western waterways to reduce accepted development requirements, and we’ve reduced the number of channels in braided waterways that require development approvals. These updates will open more options under accepted development requirements in western regions to facilitate the maintenance and construction of essential community infrastructure, while preserving vital passage for native fish to complete their life cycle. For more information on how to view the mapping, the data used to create the mapping, and frequently asked questions about how the amendments will apply to current and future developments, visit our website 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wXT6n
It’s an absolute joke you had to reclassify this in the first place. You are being paid by the tax payer to do your job, why was it not researched and classified properly in the first place. How many hours did it take to reclassify it?
