Description
Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).,
The Northern Territory Government is committed to the long term management of water resources.
Water allocation plans provide the framework for sustainable water management and allocation
strategies which are developed in consultation with the community so that regional development
can be balanced with the conservation of Northern Territory (NT) water resources. Water allocation
plans are made under s.22B of the Water Act 1992 (the Act).
In the Western Davenport Water Control District there are increasing opportunities for horticultural
development and consequently increased demand for groundwater extraction. A water allocation
plan will help ensure that this regional development continues to proceed on a sustainable basis.
The Plan takes effect from the date of its declaration by the Minister for Natural Resources,
Environment and Heritage, and will remain in force for a period of ten years. In accordance with the
Act, the Plan must be reviewed at intervals not longer than five years. The Plan will be reviewed
within five years of the date of commencement.,
