The scheme sources water from Fred Haigh and Paradise Dam. How the Scheme Works More than 600km of channel and pipeline distribute supplies to more than 1,000 properties. The scheme consists of seven distinct channel systems that supplement or replace demand for groundwater in the district. Water Uses Irrigation water for crops including sugar cane, tomatoes, rock melons, watermelons, capsicum, zucchini, beans, macadamia nuts and avocados. Urban water supply for townships within the Bundaberg region including Childers and Gin Gin. Industrial water for various enterprise including sugar mills Scheme History In 1970 the Queensland Government adopted a proposal for a two‐phase water supply scheme for the Bundaberg district. Construction began that year, with the second phase completed in 1993. Ned Churchward Weir was added to the scheme in 1998. Bundaberg is one of the driest sugar‐producing areas in Queensland and up until the early 1970s a small sub‐artesian water resource was used to irrigate crops. Intent and Constraints Designed with primarily cane production in mind – this formed the basis of the size and design of assets within the scheme to deliver 4.5 ML per hectare to supplement rainfall. Original allocations and assigned flow rates were based upon land area under cane consignment in 1970.

The provisions contained in this document have retained the same section numbering as that contained in the superseded Burnett Basin Resource Operations Plan 2003. However, the section numbering will change when incorporated into the water plan by the Office of Queensland Parliamentary Counsel. For clarity, cross references to sections in the Water Act 2000, Water Regulation 2016 and Water Plan (Burnett Basin) 2014 have been updated.
