In force

Each of the following is a specific ecological outcome for water in the plan area—

(a)

to protect flows and water quality for flow-spawning fish and endemic species, including, for example, the Fitzroy golden perch (Macquaria ambigua oriens);

(b)

to provide for flows necessary for estuarine ecosystem functions, including flows for—

(i)

barramundi (Lates calcarifer) and king threadfin salmon (Polydactylus macrochir) recruitment; and

(ii)

banana prawn (Penaeus merguiensis) growth;

(c)

to provide for groundwater levels to support relevant groundwater-dependent ecosystems and wetlands that rely on groundwater in—

(i)

the Upper Callide groundwater sub-area; and

(ii)

the Lower Callide groundwater sub-area; and

the Prospect Creek groundwater sub-area; and
