DPEWhat’s this about?
The Water Sharing Plan establishes rules for water management. This includes the limit of the total volume of water that can be extracted from the water sources in the NSW Border Rivers Unregulated River Water Source areas.
Water sharing plans are subject to review every 10 years under the Water Management Act 2000. The current Water Sharing Plan for the NSW Border Rivers Unregulated River Water Sources will expire on 30 June 2024.
The consultation will provide the opportunity for water users, stakeholders and other interested parties to learn more about proposed changes in the draft plan, and to make submissions and comment on the draft. Feedback and issues raised during the public exhibition phase will be considered when finalising the plan.
The finalised replacement plan is proposed to commence on or before 1 July 2024.
