Draft NSW Namoi Alluvium Water Resource Plan - closed

Public exhibition of the Namoi Alluvium Water Resource Plan is now closed. All submissions are currently being reviewed by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.

The new draft Namoi Alluvium Water Resource Plan and the new draft water sharing plans was on public exhibition from 11 June 2019 to 20 July 2019. This plan outlines how New South Wales will meet the requirements of the Basin Plan in the NSW Namoi Alluvium Water Resource Plan Area. A water resource plan must comply with the requirements of Chapter 10 of the Basin Plan 2012 for it to be accredited under Division 2 of Part 2 of the Commonwealth Water Act 2007.

Water sharing plans continue to be the legal instrument for managing water resources in NSW. Water resource plans are put in place to implement the Commonwealth Basin Plan 2012.
