Non-urban metering Regulation amendments

Overview

What’s this about?

The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is exhibiting draft amendments to the Water Management (General) Regulation 2025 to continue implementing recommendations of the 2024 Non-Urban Metering Review.

The proposed amendments will support the integrity of water management by improving water take information available for compliance actions and resource management. They outline clear and practical steps to minimise the gaps in reporting and recording of water take in NSW.

The exhibition aims to provide greater clarity and transparency on how these changes support critical recommendations from the 2024 Review of the Non-urban metering framework.

For more details on the proposed draft amendments and to make a submission, please visit the department's website.

Note: submissions may be made public on the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water’s website. You can ask that your submission be anonymous.
