On 21 June 2018, Infrastructure Australia assessed the Lower Fitzroy River Infrastructure Project and chose not to include it on the Infrastructure Priority List. 

The project was designed to provide long-term water supply security in the Fitzroy and Gladstone regions. However, the business case shows that the costs of the project are likely to exceed its benefits.
