The Gulf water plan area in North West Queensland is a region of major industry growth with increasing demands for water to support new irrigated agriculture and need to access critical minerals (such as copper, vanadium and tungsten). Each year, almost 25,000 gigalitres of water from the area flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria to support economic and environmentally significant fisheries.
