Fitzroy basins

In September 2011, the environmental values (EVs) and water quality objectives (WQOs) for Fitzroy Basin waters were finalised and are now included in schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection (Water and Wetland Biodiversity) Policy – the EPP (Water and Wetland Biodiversity). This followed a process of planning and stakeholder consultation on EVs that ran from 2009 to 2011.
