Description
The WA Minister for State Development (the proponent) has approval to develop land for irrigated agriculture across the Weaber, Keep River and Knox Creek Plains, located north-northeast of Kununurra in the eastern Kimberley region of WA and extends to the Keep River estuary in the Northern Territory. The area of development (M2 Area) is immediately northeast of the existing Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA), with proposed development representing the second stage of the ORIA scheme. It comprises approximately 76 000 ha (including Buffer Areas) and a key part of the development is main irrigation channel (the ‘M2 channel’), that extends from Lake Kununurra alongside the M1 channel.
