The NSW Government Department of Industry Water has prepared a draft replacement plan and is seeking feedback from water users and other interested parties as part of the public exhibition phase.
The Water Sharing Plan is a regulatory plan under the Water Management Act 2000, and is in effect for a 10-year period. The purpose of the NSW Great Artesian Basin Water Sharing Plan is to set the rules that determine how water is to be shared between the environment and water users.
This Plan applies to the groundwater sources of the Great Artesian Basin (GAB). These groundwater resources are referred to as the:
- Eastern Recharge Groundwater Source,
- Southern Recharge Groundwater Source,
- Surat Groundwater Source,
- Warrego Groundwater Source, and
- Central Groundwater Source.
