The Queensland Government passed the necessary Wild Rivers Legislation last night, which will path the way for the Georgina and Diamantina Rivers and Cooper's Creek to be declared Wild Rivers. The proposal to declare will happen sometime early 2011.
Feedback to the government from many groups, including the Australian Floodplain Association has seen special consideration given to theses unique catchments. Special floodplain management areas have been created. This area has a strong hydrological connection to the river system, and is an important part of the Channel Country.
