New South Wales Recycled Water Roadmap

What’s this about?

The NSW Government is developing a Recycled Water Roadmap to make it easier for water utilities to assess, cost and engage with their customers on recycled water, and invest in it for both drinking and non-drinking purposes.

The draft Roadmap sets out a new vision for expanding water recycling across the state where it is safe, beneficial, and cost effective, ensuring a robust policy and regulatory framework is in place for future projects.

Water recycling can play a critical role in helping us drought-proof water supplies, supporting the delivery of new housing and development in the medium-to-long term and enhancing the liveability of our cities and towns.

The draft Roadmap looks at levers the NSW Government can pull over the next 2 years, including policy development, regulatory changes, investigation of costs, benefits and updating guidance that will facilitate water recycling.

The public exhibition period provides opportunities for water users, stakeholders and other interested parties to learn more about proposed vision and actions in the draft Roadmap, 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.
