The region’s waterways provide many important benefits such as clean and safe drinking water, habitats for recreational and commercial fishing, and a reliable water source for agricultural productivity.
Rivers, creeks, lakes, and beaches that are easily accessible are important places of recreation where locals can walk, cycle, swim, boat, fish, camp, picnic, and socialise. South East Queensland residents also spend and save money using local waterways for recreation, which contributes to the economic value of the area.
