The laborious process of allocating water from the Flinders, Gregory, Leichhardt, Norman and Nicholson river catchments moved another step forward in October when the state government offered water licences with a combined annual volume of 107,000 megalitres to eight tenderers from Cloncurry, Richmond, Hughenden and other northern Gulf areas.
