NSW Nature Conservation Council to discontinue legal proceedings
We welcome the decision of the NSW Nature Conservation Council (NCC) to discontinue legal proceedings which were lodged against the previous NSW Government, by agreement, in relation to the Border Rivers Water Sharing Plan.
The NSW Government takes climate change seriously — we know that the climate is warming.
We also know that climate change is likely to result in longer periods of reduced water flows into our rivers and dams, and degrade the health of inland rivers and wetlands.
The NSW Government is committed to protecting the rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin and building greater resilience in water sources and ecosystems.
We are taking steps to plan for the impacts of climate change by reviewing the way water is managed in NSW.
We acknowledge NCC’s role as a leading NSW environmental advocacy organisation and the contribution it makes to climate action and the protection of nature in NSW.
