The Georgina and Diamantina rivers in Western Queensland have been proposed to be declared as Wild Rivers by the Queensland Government. This means that the consultation phase has commenced, and residents and interested persons are invited to 'have their say' on the proposals.

If you would like to know more about the purpose and guiding principles, please check out this document which has been put together by the state government.
