Assessment for agricultural expansion
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development investigates soil and water resources throughout Western Australia to identify new areas for expanding irrigated agriculture.
This page provides links to reports from investigations in the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid West and South West regions.
The investigations identify the risks and management requirements for sustainably and profitably developing new soil and water resources for irrigated agriculture.
