Shared Responsibility Agreements

Shared Responsibility Agreement

The Coonana community want to improve their water supply. The community is situated on a 250,000 acre pastoral lease along the Trans Australia railway line in remote Western Australia and relies on water stored in six dams that are visited by numerous feral horses, cattle and camels.

Through this SRA, the community will work with the Australian Government to build trap yards to cull feral animals, and provide troughs and fencing around the dams to control the movement of animals. These measures will improve the water supply and the community’s health.

The community will monitor stock movements, build the trap yards and fencing, and maintain the dams. They will also establish a work team to supply labour to local pastoralists.

The Australian Government will fund the yards, troughs and fencing.
