An interagency meeting was held between representatives from the following organisations:

• Department of Fisheries;
• Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley,
• Water Corporation;
• EKRFAC;
• Recfishwest; and,
• Kimberley Development Commission.

The meeting resolved the following as its key findings:

• The principle issue is the development/enhancement of a recreational barramundi in Lake Kununurra;
• A fish way option holds the most promise. Experts with extensive experience in fishways should be consulted to gather further insight and advice on options; and,
• A successful project will be as much about the management of people as the fishery itself. Issues that need to be addressed will include: possible changes to bag and size limits; fishing permits and other funding options; consideration of wilderness values and competing resource users.

The meeting proposed the following steps in order to progress the project:

• Feasibility study on migratory corridors/fish-ways, must address the crocodile issue;
• Promote the concept to facilitate community stewardship;
• Develop detailed operational plan; and,
• Secure political support and capital works funding.
