The Yulara Water Supply Project will construct new water infrastructure to improve the township’s long-term water security. This will enable development in the area which has been limited by Yulara’s existing water infrastructure.
The project is proposed to be delivered in four stages:
This project will complete a detailed business case to investigate the merits of constructing a 2-way pipeline and pumping infrastructure. This would connect 2 variable rainfall regions and improve water reliability.
If built, the proposed project would connect 2 headwater water storages, Lostock Dam and Glennies Creek Dam. The objective of the proposed pipeline is to improve the existing system and support the ongoing economic productivity of key industries and water users operating in the Hunter region.
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 will investigate water infrastructure options to support agricultural expansion in south-west Western Australia.
These options include:
The detailed business case will consider the broader water needs of the lower Macquarie catchment and improving town water security as well as efficiency in the region.
The detailed business case will consider a range of options for improving water supply, including:
Water infrastructure projects under the Tasmania Connections package include new and extended pipelines, and new and expanding reusable water schemes. These projects will increase availability and reliability of water for agricultural producers. These benefits will contribute to delivering secure and affordable water for rural and regional Australia.
Tasmanian water infrastructure projects under the Connections pathway include:
The Western Australia Connections package includes a range of infrastructure projects including:
These projects will improve water security for regional Australia, including farming communities.
Western Australia water infrastructure projects under the Connections pathway include:
The project will complete the detailed business case and approvals for the proposed Urannah Dam. It will include:
The business case will identify options to:
