Recommendation
Guide investment in water infrastructure projects that enable climate resilient and self-sustainable agriculture and food industries in peri-urban and regional areas by developing a prioritisation framework. The framework should:
- be consistent with regional water planning (see Recommendation 48c)
- prioritise investment in locations that are strategically aligned with agriculture and food industry opportunities (see the Regional development chapter)
- consider social, economic, environmental and cultural impacts and opportunities.
