Declared catchment areas
Parts of Queensland that immediately surround particular storages have been declared as ‘catchment areas’ under the Water Act 2000. So that it won’t have a negative impact on water quality, some types of development within these areas must be approved by both local government and the Department of Environment and Resource Management.
