Murray Darling Basin Authority Projects

 A team from the Murray Darling Basin Authority (including its CEO Andrew McConville and a number of key technical staff) visited a number of the project sites along Water Gully on 19 April. This visit was part of an information gathering exercise to inform the current revision of the Murray Darling Basin Plan due to be released later this year, with the group wishing to better understand water issues and water management options in the Upper Namoi watershed catchment area.

Have your say on waterway approvals

Have you tried to get planning approval for works to protect or rehabilitate your riverbank from flooding?

As part of the Riverbank Rehabilitation Project, Local Land Services is undertaking work to better understand the challenges landholders experience when seeking approvals for waterways and riverbank works across NSW.

This project includes an anonymous survey to capture insights on the time, cost, effort and approval processes landholders navigate when undertaking riverbank rehabilitation works, and to identify where improvements could be made to better support landholders in the future.
