Federal Member for Maranoa Bruce Scott visited Stanthorpe with the Coalition’s Dams and Water Management Task Group, chaired by the Honourable Andrew Robb, to see how the proposed Emu Swamp Dam would benefit the region.
Mr Scott was impressed with the presentation during last week’s tour and said he would continue to champion for the Granite Belt community.
“We met with growers and irrigators who expressed the importance of this project for greater water security,” Mr Scott said.
“I submitted the proposal for a new Granite Belt dam and last week’s tour was the next step in making the proposal a reality.
“I congratulate the Stanthorpe Community Reference Panel, Vic Pennisi and Member for Southern Downs the Honourable Lawrence Springborg who have shown great commitment to this project,” Mr Scott said.
