Abstract
The Fitzroy basin in Central Queensland is one of the largest in Australia. There is increasing demand for water resources, particularly for irrigating cotton and other broadacre crops. The Queensland Government, through the Water Allocation and Management Plan (WAMP) for the Fitzroy, is identifying where the limits to future development might be set. This paper describes the development of a choice modelling application to assess the environmental and social tradeoffs that might be associated with increased irrigation development. Of particular interest are the framing effects associated with valuing impacts in separate sub-catchments compared to the basin as a whole and the calculation of willingness to accept values for floodplain development.
