Regional water strategies in New South Wales

About the regional water strategies

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

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

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

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

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

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

Draft regional water strategies previously on public exhibition in 2020-21 are still available for viewing.

Work is underway on all strategies with public exhibitions planned for remaining regions in 2021.
