Gogo Station Irrigated Agricultural Development - Environmental Scoping Document

Overview

Surface irrigation water is to be sourced from overland flow from within Gogo Station and overbank flows from the Margaret River. The proposal is located near the Margaret River (a tributary of the Fitzroy River), approximately 10 kilometres east of Fitzroy Crossing, in the Shire of Derby-West Kimberley.
