WATER PLAN (FITZROY BASIN) 2011 - REG 7

7 Groundwater units and groundwater sub-areas

(1) The Callide groundwater management area consists of the following (each a
"groundwater unit" )—

(a) Callide Groundwater Unit 1, containing the aquifers of the quaternary alluvium;

(b) Callide Groundwater Unit 2, containing all subartesian aquifers within the Callide groundwater management area other than the aquifers included in Callide Groundwater Unit 1.

(2) Each of the following areas of the Callide Groundwater Unit 1 shown on map A in schedule 4 is a groundwater sub-area for this plan—

(a) Upper Callide groundwater sub-area;

(b) Lower Callide groundwater sub-area;

(c) Prospect Creek groundwater sub-area;

(d) Don and Dee groundwater sub-area.

(2A) Each part of the plan area shown as a groundwater sub-area zone for the Upper Callide groundwater sub-area on map A in schedule 4 is a
"groundwater sub-area zone" for that groundwater sub-area.

(2B) Each part of the plan area shown as a groundwater sub-area zone for the Lower Callide groundwater sub-area on map A in schedule 4 is a
"groundwater sub-area zone" for that groundwater sub-area.

(2C) Each part of the plan area shown as a groundwater sub-area zone for the Prospect Creek groundwater sub-area on map A in schedule 4 is a
"groundwater sub-area zone" for that groundwater sub-area.

(2D) Each part of the plan area shown as a groundwater sub-area zone for the Don and Dee groundwater sub-area on map A in schedule 4 is a
"groundwater sub-area zone" for that groundwater sub-area.

(3) The Isaac Connors groundwater management area consists of the following (also each a
"groundwater unit" )—

(a) Isaac Connors Groundwater Unit 1, containing the aquifers of the quaternary alluvium;

(b) Isaac Connors Groundwater Unit 2, containing all subartesian aquifers within the Isaac Connors groundwater management area other than the aquifers included in Isaac Connors Groundwater Unit 1.

(4) The area of Isaac Connors Groundwater Unit 1 shown on map B in schedule 4 is the Isaac Connors Alluvium groundwater sub-area for this plan.

(5) The Highlands groundwater management area consists of the following (also each a
"groundwater unit" )—

(a) Highlands Groundwater Unit 1, containing the aquifers of the quaternary alluvium;

(b) Highlands Groundwater Unit 2, containing all subartesian aquifers within the Highlands groundwater management area other than the aquifers included in Highlands Groundwater Unit 1.

(6) The area of Highlands Groundwater Unit 1 shown on map C in schedule 4 is the Sandy Creek Alluvium groundwater sub-area for this plan.

(7) The Fitzroy groundwater management area consists of the following (also each a
"groundwater unit" )—

(a) Fitzroy Groundwater Unit 1, containing the aquifers of the modern coastal deposits;

(b) Fitzroy Groundwater Unit 2, containing all subartesian aquifers within the Fitzroy groundwater management area other than the aquifers included in Fitzroy Groundwater Unit 1.

(8) In this section—

"modern coastal deposits" means quaternary colluvial and alluvial sediments in close proximity to the coast in the Fitzroy groundwater management area.

"quaternary alluvium" means the quaternary age alluvial deposits of sand, gravel, silt and clay.
