Water for Perth from the Kimberley

In 2002 a series of Water Forums were held throughout the State, culminating in a Water Symposium and the release of the State Water Strategy in February 2003.

In December 2004, the State Government established a panel of experts to assess and examine proposals to bring water from the Kimberley to Perth.

The Water Corporation welcomed the formation of the panel to provide independent analysis. The panel provided its report to the State Government in May 2006.

Following on from this work, the Government developed the State Water Plan to outline water management objectives and plans to 2030.
