Labor puts Bradfield scheme to expert panel
An expert panel chaired by Professor Ross Garnaut will conduct a comprehensive examination of the proposed Bradfield inland irrigation scheme under a new State Government initiative.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the independent panel, which will also include Queensland Farmers Federation chief executive officer Dr Georgina Davis and James Cook University Professor Allan Dale.
“Projects like this have the potential to support a new generation of farmers, landholders and regional communities if it’s done in a way that is realistic and affordable," she said.
The panel’s job will be to assess the financial, economic, environmental, social and technical viability. . .
