About the regional water strategies

Long term strategies that will inform future planning and management of the state’s water resources.

Development of regional water strategies

We are working to improve the resilience of our water resources for communities, the environment and industry.

New climate data and modelling

We are using the best available evidence including new climate data and updated modelling.

Identifying and assessing strategy options

We have developed a decision-making process to help identify options that meet our objectives.

Community engagement

We are working with local councils, water service providers, Aboriginal people and other stakeholders.

Engaging with Aboriginal people

We are working with an Aboriginal advisory group to co-develop an approach for engaging Aboriginal communities.
