sec.14 Specific ecological outcomes

Each of the following is a specific ecological outcome for water in the plan area— to maintain the natural continuity of flow from immediately downstream of the Charters Towers Weir to the upstream limit of the impounded area of the Burdekin Falls Dam; to maintain connectivity between Mistake Creek and its adjacent floodplain system during floods; to minimise adverse impacts on the morphology of watercourses, waterholes, lakes and springs, used for taking supplemented water, in the Burdekin Haughton Water Supply Scheme; to ensure there are no further impacts on natural creek flows in the Barratta Creek system; to provide a flow regime that supports fish passage in the river reaches from the Clare Weir impoundment to the mouth of the Burdekin River; to provide a flow regime that supports fish passage in the river reaches to the mouth of the Haughton River.

• (a) to maintain the natural continuity of flow from immediately downstream of the Charters Towers Weir to the upstream limit of the impounded area of the Burdekin Falls Dam;
• (b) to maintain connectivity between Mistake Creek and its adjacent floodplain system during floods;
• (c) to minimise adverse impacts on the morphology of watercourses, waterholes, lakes and springs, used for taking supplemented water, in the Burdekin Haughton Water Supply Scheme;
• (d) to ensure there are no further impacts on natural creek flows in the Barratta Creek system;
• (e) to provide a flow regime that supports fish passage in the river reaches from the Clare Weir impoundment to the mouth of the Burdekin River;
• (f) to provide a flow regime that supports fish passage in the river reaches to the mouth of the Haughton River.
