Why your submission is important

The department is seeking your comments on the draft Water Sharing Plan for the Richmond River Area Unregulated, Regulated, and Alluvial Water Sources 2023.

Submissions will be accepted until midnight Sunday, 18 December 2022.

Please note: Due to recent catastrophic floods and current community priorities, we are not proposing any changes that relate to the specific water access rules that define the flow classes, cease to pump and commence to pump rules. These types of rules directly affect an individual’s current daily ability to access water. While key issues and changes have been summarised in this submission form, comment on all aspects of the water sharing plan is welcome. Comments on every question in this form are not necessary. Please comment on those sections of the water sharing plan that you are interested in. For water source specific details including rules, please see the water source report cards. More detailed comments are welcomed as attachments.
