A state-wide dataset (WM1229) containing the river improvement areas in force in legislation currently, and listing the corresponding river improvement trust. A trust is a statutory body constituted under the River Improvement Trust Act 1940 to protect and improve rivers, repair and prevent damage to rivers and prevent or mitigate flooding of land by riverine flood. For more information see http://www.dnrm.qld.gov.au/water/qld-river-improvement-trusts . WM1229 replaced WM1125 due to the River Improvement Trust Amendment Regulation (No. 1) 2014(Subordinate Legislation No. 135) abolishing the Pioneer River Improvement Area [WM1119], effective 1/7/14. Hence WM1229 is equivalent to WM1125, excluding WM1119. (Reference: CAS3059.) |
