Contains all the water resource plan (WRP) areas in Queensland that are in force in legislation currently, except for the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) WRP area. (For more information see http://www.dnrm.qld.gov.au/water/catchments-planning) WM1127 replaced WM0924v2 due to the “Water Resource (Burnett Basin) Plan 2014” (Burnett 2014 WRP) coming into force (mapping accuracy improvements were applied for part of the Burnett WRP area). (Reference: CAS1881, 2026.)
