Draft replacement Towamba River Unregulated and Alluvial Water Sharing Plan
Public exhibition of the replacement Water Sharing Plan for the Towamba River Unregulated and Alluvial Water Sources 2022 will run from Monday 9 May to Sunday 19 June 2022.
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 Towamba River water sharing plan area.
Water sharing plans are subject to review every 10 years under the Water Management Act 2000. The current water sharing plan for the Towamba is nearing expiry and a draft replacement plan has been prepared.
The public exhibition period provides opportunities for water users, stakeholders 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 finalised replacement plan is proposed to commence on or before 1 July 2023.

- Read the draft water sharing plan (PDF, 377.73 KB)
- View a map of the impacted area (PDF, 2414.13 KB).
- Read supporting documentation including background documents, fact sheets, report cards and risk assessment
