What’s this about?

The water sharing plan establishes rules for water management including the limit of the total volume of water that can be extracted from the water sources in the Gwydir 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 Gwydir Unregulated River Water Sources 2012 will expire on 30 June 2025. 

Public exhibition of the draft Water Sharing Plan for the Gwydir Unregulated River Water Sources 2025 will run from Monday 4 November to Friday 10 January 2025.

The public exhibition period provides opportunities for water users, the community 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 Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water staff will provide an update on the proposed changes to the water sharing plan and answer your questions.  

The finalised plan is proposed to commence on or before 1 July 2025.
