Project overview
The National Water Grid Connections Pathway enables the quick delivery of targeted water infrastructure projects. As a result, bringing immediate benefits to Australia’s regional communities.
Small-scale infrastructure projects make localised improvements to water outcomes. They can also make nationally significant contributions.
The Warrens Gully System Capacity Upgrade project was funded under the Queensland Connections Pathway.
The project included upgrades to infrastructure, including construction of a new river pump station, to increase the capacity of the Warrens Gully pump station and distribution system. This will:
- enhance water services to existing customers
- increase aquifer recharge and storage capabilities
- facilitate the expansion of the agricultural industry in the lower Burdekin.
The project is complete and pumping operations commenced in February 2024.
