Rookwood Weir water flows for Central Queensland farmers

Economic opportunity has been unlocked in Central Queensland with the completion of the second tender for water from the soon-to-be-completed Rookwood Weir, as 21 successful bidders secured a total allocation of 6000 megalitres for productive irrigation use.

Strong interest from across the region resulted in 21 successful bids, with 6082 megalitres sold from an available 7500 megalitres.

Sunwater will now determine how best to make the unsold water available for future sale.

More information on the project is available in this government media statement.
