Our Role
The Northern Australia Land and Water Taskforce was a high level independent group of Australian experts drawn from broad areas, including Indigenous business, science, conservation, agriculture, and the minerals and energy resource industries. The Taskforce examined the potential for new developments in northern Australia that rely on significant local or regional water resources and consulted with stakeholders in the north to identify opportunities for further development.

The Taskforce focused on the key surface and groundwater systems and basins within the Timor Sea and Gulf of Carpentaria drainage divisions, and that part of the North East Coast drainage division north of Cairns. |
The Taskforce presented a midterm report in February 2009. The Taskforce delivered their final report to the Government in December 2009.
