DNRMEAct • The Queensland Government is ready to have a conversation with the Australian Government and its new National Water Grid Authorityon on a range of water infrastructure proposals including the opportunity for further increasing regional connectivityRTI where it makes sense (e.g. available supply within responsible limits commensurate with Queensland Water Plans and demonstrated demand for the water). • This could include identifying opportunities to explore the concept of connecting bulk water storages to where there is a clear demand for water at a price commensurate with the costs providing the water.
