JOINT STATEMENT
The Palaszczuk Government is investing millions to keep taps flowing in the Southern Downs with the Premier today announcing a $20 million drought resilience package for the region.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said while recent rain had provided much needed relief to the Southern Downs region including good inflows into Leslie, Connolly and Storm King Dams, it hasn’t been enough to solve long-term water security issues for the Southern Downs.
“In late 2019, in response to low supplies in the region’s dams, my Government committed to plan for a new pipeline from Toowoomba to Warwick,” the Premier said.
“This commitment was in addition to $15 million in emergency assistance provided to cart water into Stanthorpe.
