The Chair of Macquarie Food and Fibre, Tony Quigley spoke on ABC Central West Radio on Monday 11th May about the planned re-regulating weir at Gin Gin.
Tony explains (in his own words) that the giant structure will mean a loss to the environment and communities downstream of Gin Gin of the significant volume of 25 billion litres a year.
“… as irrigators we think there’s a real need for it, we think there is probably 25,000 megs a year that can be saved in the system that’s currently lost out the bottom to no real gain to the Marshes It’s a dribble all through the summer irrigation season. “
