The Secretary Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 04 April 2007 Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Inquiry into Additional Water Supplies for South East Queensland – Wyaralong Dam Proposal This submission is made by the Executive of the Logan and Albert Rivers Catchment Association Inc (LARC) on behalf of LARC. The Executive is comprised of members with extensive experience in catchment management and detailed understanding of the science and issues associated with the Logan and Albert catchment. Members of the Executive Chair of Logan & Albert Task Force auspiced under the SEQ Healthy Waterways Partnership and represent the catchment on the Southern Implementation Groups and Community & Industry Advisory Group managed by the SEQ Healthy Waterway Partnership. The members of the Executive have strong work experience, training, qualifications and representative roles across community, industry and professional environmental management sectors. Based on flawed Logan Basin Water Resource Plan The Wyaralong Dam proposal is based upon a modelled surplus of water in the Logan River basin at the Cedar Grove Weir. This surplus is asserted by the Queensland Government in the technical reports prepared for the Water Resource (Logan Basin) Plan 2007. The data used in the modelling for the water resource plan relies upon inaccurate data to make this assessment. LARC provided a detailed submission regarding these flawed assumptions upon the release of the draft Logan Basin Water Resource plan (see attachment 1). The key relevant points from this submission for the purposes of this inquiry are: • The past 10 years of the rainfall record are significantly drier than at any time in the preceding 100 years of rainfall data.
