On 8 October 2009 the Minister for Natural Resources, Environment and Heritage formally announced the commencement of the water planning process for the Western Davenport Water Control District (the District) in the Northern Territory (NT). The District encompasses over 24,500 square kilometres with approximately 1,000 residents spread over that area. The only major community within the District is Ali Curung with a population of approximately 500 people. The water resources subject to the proposed water allocation plan (the Plan) are currently in a low state of development and have not been comprehensively studied. Currently there is a low demand for the water resources and consequently little risk to local ecosystems within the District.,
